What's that? You're in prison? Oh no! Well, it's a good thing prison is known for it's friendly atmosphere! So a life sentence shouldn't be too bad...
Welcome to Seven Hills Prison, in the sleepy town of Seven Hills, Nebraska. The prison holds roughly one hundred and fifty happy inmates. Of course, it has contraband, semi-corrupt guards, and gangs. You know, why don't we just take you on a tour...
The Prisoners
Ah, the prisoners. There are exactly 148 (not including you, of course). Most are in for murder, burglary, and "tax evasion." 93 are male and 55 are female.
Remember, each prisoner is a snowflake! Even you. Don't believe me? This looks like a job for... character sheet!
The Guards
There are 37 guards, 24 male and 13 female. This includes the Warden, known simply as... "The Warden." Or Joe. Joe works too. The Warden is immune to corruption.
Some are corrupt and will do certain things in return for favors and money. The guards are stationed at different areas of the prison and handle different tasks. Different gangs also have different connections with different guards. Some might even be on a specific gang's pay roll. "So how do I know which guards are corrupt and which ones aren't?" Simple! You find out by asking prisoners.
The Contraband
Contraband can be acquired through a member of each gang and from one guard. Contraband consists of commodities, weapons, drugs, and other things that you probably shouldn't have. If you are caught with contraband by the wrong guards or prisoners, you could face serious consequences.
The Architecture
There are seven main areas of the prison.
1. The cells, where you sleep with a random cell mate.
2. The "field," where you socialize with other inmates and exercise.
3. The cafeteria, where you eat food.
4. One of the work areas, where you do a job (if you have one).
5. Solitary, or the over glorified time out corner.
6. The visiting area, where you can see your friends and family.
7. The showers
Males are separated from the females, but they can see each other through the gates when they go to the field and are at opposite side of the cafeteria.
The Gangs
There are five gangs. Not every prisoner is affiliated with a gang, but many are.
1. The Eagles are a group of about five former military veterans. More of a club than a gang, The Eagles only allow ex-military to join. They are essentially the Switzerland group of the prison, and offer contraband to anyone willing to pay.
2. The Brown Knives are a group of about twenty five inmates. They are in a rivalry with the Tigers and Cobra Tooth. The Brown Knives are led by Paul McKinney, who fairly professional and dignified. A true gentleman. Their goal is simple- control of the prison. They are less aggressive than the other two gangs, and often aren't involved in killings. They are often able to smuggle in commodities, but you need some sort of relationship with the Brown Knives in order to deal with them.
3. The Cobra Tooth Gang is led by Eli Collins. The forty-five members of this gang are rough, stereotypical prisoners. They are the biggest gang, and often threaten the Brown Knives and Tigers. Their contraband is a tad more diverse than the contraband offered by the Eagles and is available for lower prices. But acquiring the contraband requires membership.
4. The Tiger Gang is more of a cult than a gang. Members must go through a... peculiar... initiation process. The twenty five members of this gang are the most skilled fighters and often the most violent. It is led by Tin Ling, who has killed countless people and was a former drug lord. Best source of contraband weapons, but you need a relationship with the group first.
5. The Emerald Coyotes are an all female gang. With fifteen members, it is the smallest, yet among the females of the prison, it is fairly large. It's size doesn't prevent it from remaining influential and ruthless, although members of this gang aren't particularly concerned with control outside of the female inmates.
The Goal
So what's the point of this? What are you trying to do? For some characters, the goal is survival. For others, escape. Some seek total control of the gangs and prison.
The Routine
This is a typical day in the prison.
1- Wake up
2- Breakfast
3- Exercise in "The Field."
4- Go to job/ free time (NOTE: you start out jobless).
5- Lunch
6- Visiting hours/ free time
7- Free time
8- Dinner
9- Showers
10- Sleep
