CORUSCANT UNDERWORLD
It has been ten years since the rise of the evil GALACTIC EMPIRE. The galaxy lays within its crushing fist with no opposition.
The capital world of CORUSCANT is the center of the galaxy, the wealthy and powerful thriving on the surface. The filth of the planet have been pushed underground, into the UNDERWORLD, a place rampant with crime and sin.
As the Imperials rule, the people suffer. Those unlucky enough to find themselves in in the undercity of the capital must fight to survive every single day....
The Underworld is a crime-ridden place, criminals escape to it, those looking to escape that are of the non criminal variety also escape to it. It is a place where one can get lost with the seedy crowds. Illegal merchandise of all kinds can be found within it, prostitution one of the most common occupations. Through the massive ventalation shaft one can enter the underlevels of the capital.
Immoral gangs infest the underworld, youths fall victim to their clutches. The promise of riches and a getaway from their miserable lives too much for many. There is no real police force, they only patrol the uppermost levels and the surface. Vigilante and mob justice is common for many areas areas. It gets worse as one goes down, with each level the light from above grows more dim. On the lowest of levels reside mutant monstrosities. May you never fall that far down.
Not all people within the undeworld are bad, many have just been thrust into a terrible situation by uncontrollable consequences. Runaways, political criminals, former slaves, or just those with no credits are many you will find in the underground. Bounty hunters and assassins are a common sight, there is money to made by shaking the right hands and killing the right people. Life can be made for those that truly wish to make it.
Welcome to level 3030, one of the most populated in the Underworld with just over one million denizens dwelling within its artificial lights. Just a hint, stay within the lit borders.
Level 3030 is a sprawling landscape, packed with people and buildings. Due to its depth there is very little actual light that reaches it. The city is filled with man made light, the air, while not healthy for you will not kill you like some of the lower levels. A huge vent sits far above it, this is the way both in and out. Traffic has decreased since the Empire took over, but people still come and go. The population is filled with society's rejects, it's a haven for criminals and those that don't want to be found. A land of endless sin, 3030 contains all manner of entertainment, fight clubs, gentleman clubs, casinos, dive bars, brothels, these are just some of the sights within the undercity.
The seemingly endless streets are filled with all manners of drunks, addicts, bums and whores. Many of the alleyways seem to go nowhere, and many one does not want to venture down. Humans are the most populous species, but that claim seems to drop every year as more aliens are forced into the underground by the xenophobic Empire. 3030 is extremely humid, air conditioning but a privilege to a lucky few. While it is a bearable, one will often find themselves drenched in sweat just from taking a stroll.
There is no police force, 3030 is literally run by the gangs.
Factions:
3030 contains some notable factions, collections of the scum unlucky enough to dwell within its massive undercity. There are four major criminal organizations, there are many other smaller ones, but the immoral four 'run' 3030.
Scarred Hutt Cartel - A strange name for a gang, but its fitting as the leader, Gorro, is a sickening hutt. He is not to be underestimated as his organization are the most powerful within 3030. They have total control of the northern part of the undercity, claiming it as their territory. They have the most members and the most credits. Their enforcers are some of the most feared within the underworld, a notable rumor being that one of them is a dark Jedi, though this has not been confirmed.
Gorro is similar in appearance to many other of his species, a large slug like creature, his skin a greenish brown, eyes a twisted yellow. His distinguishing feature being a large scar which runs across his left eye, the mark of a failed assassination attempt. The hutt pays well and respects loyalty, though he is not to be trusted. One does not amass such a criminal organization without stabbing a few backs. His 'palace' is in the most northern part of the undercity, it is filled with his people, fiercely loyal to Gorro the Hutt. It shows how powerful Gorro is, and his group is that their base is a well known location. Everyone else is too scared to assault it. It is a practical fortress with constant guard patrols ensuring it remains the jewel of the undercity.
The Scarred Hutts are always looking for new blood, but one must prove themselves worthy to join. Gorro pays well to those that earn it.
Blackened Stars - The second largest criminal gang within 3030, they are fierce rivals of the Cartel, warfare between the two an all too common sight. They control a large chunk of the southern undercity, their member total near the Cartel's. The Stars have their hands within all manner of crime, though they excel at slavery, something commonly seen in 3030. They do not discriminate with their membership, the only standard being that one has to have survived initiation.
The Stars leadership is different from the others, instead of one central leader there is two. They are a twin brother and sister, Jenala and Jondevo. If the sickening rumors are to be believed, then their relationship is incestuous. Both of them are mysterious individuals, difficult to track but never far apart from one another.
The Pure Hand Syndicate - The Pures, as they are nicknamed, are the most brutal gang. They practice extreme xenophobia, humans are the only ones allowed within their organization. Aliens are almost always their targets. They control an area to the west, it is not a place a non human wishes to find themselves in. Lynchings, beatings and burnings are just some of the things they do to their enemies, which are anyone who isn't a human. They don't seem to focus on credits as much as the other gangs, they're more of a cult than anything else. The other three major criminal groups hate the Pures.
Their leader is of course, a human. Serg Beccou is his name, he is a vicious, psychotic fellow. Serg is located within Hand territory, though his exact whereabouts are not known. He has been seen filming messages 'urging' non humans within the underworld to leave, these messages often capped by a murder or scene of torture. He is an incredibly difficult man to track down, everytime his location is determined it changes. He is the most wanted man in 3030 and knows it. Every other gang has a bounty on his shaved head.
The Pures accept only humans and work with only humans. They are always looking for humans to join their cause.
Siren Claw Syndicate - The Pures are an all human group, the Sirens are an all female one. That is the only similarity, they differ from the other gangs in that they don't seek total control of crime within 3030, instead they claim their goals are noble ones, the liberation of protection of females in the undercity. Their members are often former prostitutes, slaves and dancers that have been given a place within the Sirens. Many still work these jobs, though under very different conditions since aligning with the Sirens. Males are not hated or targeted by the organization, they are just not allowed in, the all female rule is one that creates solidarity. They hold claim to an area to the south west, as they are allies with the Hutt Cartel.
Their leader is a Twi'lek, Inanjoma, she is as deadly as she is beautiful, her past mostly mystery, though she was once a slave. Inajoma is not to be underestimated, she is as ruthless as any of the other gang leaders, though her charm may not give off that feel.
Females of any race may join the Siren ranks, in it they will find a unique sisterhood amongst its members.
The Galactic Empire -
Ask the most paranoid people in 3030 and they will try to convince you that the Empire is undercity. While no proof has been found, the rumors do persist that the Empire is watching. If they indeed are in 3030 then their business is not known, nor where or how to find them. But be assured, they'll find you, which more than likely is not something you want. You will not find stormtroopers in 3030, only shadows.
Rules
1. Mature content is to be expected, this is not your father's Star Wars. Swearing is cool, so is gore and violence. Pretty much anything else allowed by the site's rules. Fade to black any sexual scenes.
2. No godmodding, metagaming, etc. Just because you know something OOC does not mean your char does in the IC.
3. Original characters only. No Mary Sues, I love, love flawed characters. No limit to the number of characters you can have, just make sure you can handle multiple if you go that route.
4. The RP is open world focused, you char controls their lives, I will be running my own char as well as NPCs. Also will have my hand in other player's plots.
5. Don't write in first person, also this is an advanced RP, so those standards.
6. Character death is a possibility. The underworld is savage, be careful.
7. Please stay active, if I don't hear from you for a week I assume you dropped and your character is forfeit.
8. I as the GM, and my co-GM (if there is one) have word as law. I can deny characters for whatever reason.
