What's going on these days?

First off, I want to apologize greatly for not seeing this earlier. *destroys eyes* I'm very sorry for this late reply, and brace yourself, maybe take a seat and some tea, for the long barrage of words for the plot-- YOU ARE ANTHEM, DO I GET A COOKIE FOR GUESSING RIGHT I WANT A COOKIE I GET A COOKIE RIGHT

There are two gangs that are nothing but quest characters. The two gangs are called "RIOT" and "Orochi". RIOT and Orochi are full of bad guys, but RIOT and Orochi detests each other. Now, Orochi is full of Japanese people that are essentially xenophobic, and they wanted to destroy phs552 because once, they launched a terrorist attack on a mall, and students of phs552 stopped them.

Hence, Orochi sent people into phs552, to destroy the school from the inside. The school are filled with explosives. Members of Orochi are in phs552, and the phs552 students, momentarily fighting alongside RIOT, against Orochi, decided to split into two teams. One team would stay in the school to defend the school, the other team would go to "The Void", which is the base for Orochi, to destroy Orochi.

There are two major events held. One event is held in the school, for students to protect the school, and one event is in the void, for students to find the orochi base, alongside RIOT, and destroy it. The leader of Orochi, "The Serpent" is killed, at the end of the void. However, explosives place inside the school went off, and destroyed the school's infrastructure. Badly. The school is in ruins.

Since phs552 is in New York City, the people in the city are extremely sick of the gang violence going on. RIOT, Orochi, Apex Warriors, Hyperion and Lightning Gangs are the main gangs, and gangs wars, along with much fighting has happened. People have been hurt badly, and the gangs are to be blamed. Hence, the Government of America decided to take action.

They erected a wall around a portion of New York City that the school is in. The portion is called District 552, and the wall is 500 feet. Enforcers are guarding the wall, and no one could get in or out, unless authorized to do so. Aside from the wall, the government sent two men to deal with the gang violence/domestic terrorism inside District 552. The two men are called "Luca Walker" and 'Alexei Alkaev".

Luca Walker possessed a PMC (private military complex), and he was sent, with his army, to subdue the gang violence and domestic terrorism...with more force, if necessary. Aside from that, Alexei Alkaev (aka "Xei") is a leader of the Apostles, a team of enforcers/player characters that are predominantly in charge of subduing the gang violence and domestic terrorism as well.

In order to display their power, or maybe with some other ulterior motives, Alexei and Luca held an assembly for the students, and in front of the students, they introduced themselves. This was before the wall went up. They publicly stated that they would no longer tolerate the gang violence, and Alexei Alkaev broke the neck of the 1st Pillar, Zoe Garcia.

Currently, we are in a stage, after the walls are up, in which Alexei captured a co-leader of a gang called 'Apex Warriors". The co-leader is called "Knuckles", and Alexei held a public execution. However, the execution is at the beginning stages, and everyone got extremely shocked, for it turned out that Zoe Garcia was alive after all, despite the fact that all of them witnessed her neck being broken publicly.

Secondly, everyone was shock as Zoe is a member of Hyperion, another gang, and she's currently in league with their enemy, the Apostles/Luca/Alexei. You may jump into this thread if you want! One post per round ('Xei" will mark every round, which means you may only post once until he posts again). Here's the event:

The black mist is a toxic gas called "FEAR". Don't worry about it, it's in previous arcs and is not relevant to the current arc whatsoever. Basically, previously, characters had to face the FEAR gas, and see their worst fears in their hallucinations, before getting kidnapped and probably experimented on, if they are deemed powerful.

A recommendation I would give, if you would like to build your character, is to get a mentor. The Mentor program is an out of character system. Basically, you get a roleplayer to be your mentor, and they would help you out with your items, character building, get you into the thick of plot, and aid you with whatever you need.

This is the Mentor Program: [ l i n k ]
Do look through essential and forms, and then the rewards! After that, find a mentor through the threads the mentors would put up in that board I linked you to! Just post in the thread of any mentor you would like, stating that you are interested, and then, well, the mentor/you will find a way to communicate and help each other out.

If you have any inquires, or if my explanation seemed convoluted, don't hesitate to PM me and ask any questions you might have! I'll be happy to help out and answer your questions. My other account is "Ira Defaire ", and my skype is "xinkedwordsx". Don't hesitate to PM me on those too, if I'm not online on this account. Hope this helps, and have a nice day!
