There are some things about this roleplay that you need to know before you start and I need to make sure are clear from the beginning.

1: This is a literate roleplay. There is a two paragraph minimum with no less than three sentences each, and even that may be short in comparison to some of the replies here.

2: There will be some mature themes in here. Violence, gang activity, violence, drugs, drinking, tobacco, suicide and a lot of other stuff is in here. I know most of the people I roleplay with don't mind this being in roleplays, but if you're really sensitive about that kind of thing then this isn't for you. Mind you none of that is glorified or anything in there, but it's in there as part of the setting.

3: This is a roleplay, not an idea book. I intend to use this setting and some of the characters who appear in my own story eventually, and actually already have part of it written. I have put a lot of work and thought into this. Everyone here has put a lot of time and effort into their own characters as well. Please do not use any of them without the permission of the roleplayer, even if that character is totally the most amazing thing ever.
