OPEN WORLD CRIME RPG 🕊️

Here, you can become anyone and chase whatever future you desire. But every choice leaves a mark and some debts can only be paid in blood.

⌗

Your Role?
Anything you want!

⌗

A city of doves. A city of vultures. The city is yours, but the consequences are too.

━━━OUTLINE
Welcome to Santa Paloma! Want to build your dream life? Do it. Want to become ridiculously rich? Go ahead. Want to have a bum for a baby daddy? Aye, up to you I'm not judging (I am). Want romance, rivalries, messy friendships, family secrets, political corruption, street racing, late-night diners, and bad bitches? WE HAVE A PLACE FOR THAT

But don't get too comfortable.

In Santa Paloma, the rival gangs have been at each other's throats for years, and city hall has its own skeletons. Somewhere between the blood and the lights, there is a story waiting to find you. 

There is no promise you'll make it out clean, but hey, we are here for a good time not a long time. Santa Paloma is calling. You picking up, or what?




01
Los Aztecas | Founded in the 1980s · Power through tradition and external backing
- Trace roots back to Mexican immigrants who formed a close-knit brotherhoods that was inititally organized around mutual protection against hostility and crime. 
- As its influence expanded, the brotherhood's original stance shifted from family and protection to coercion and fear.
- Los Aztecas are more hierarchial than the kinds. Their infleunce extends into the drug trade, extortion, illegal arms markets, and businesses that are vulnerable to intimidation.
- Their cartel connections bring money and leverage but they also create dependence. 

02
21st Street Kings | Founded in the 1990s · Power through reputation and adaptability
- Emerged from Mexican, Central American, and Afro-Latino youth who grew up in hardship and discrimination. 
- The Kings are decentralized and entrepreneurial. Individual crews compete for recognition and influence, while more established figures try to coordinate their interests. They are involved in vehicle theft rings, arms and weapon trafficking, stolen goods, and online black markets.
- Some mombers genuinely protect their neighbors, others exploit those same neighbors. It's a vicious cycle.

NOTES
Long time no see eh 👀 i just checked and we are almost up to 23k which is absolutely astounding, never thought we would make it this far given my absence. Thank you to all my foreskins, old and new, I'm never cutting yall off 🩷

Life has been tumultuous and overwhelming, but lately I've locked in and got my life back on track. To warm up for what is to come, i made this little rpg thing. Its completely open world, so you can do whatever and whoever you want, wherever you want, with no constraints. It's a little lazy I do admit, but the two bots I'll post around Halloween will make up for it. One will be real-life, the other supernatural. I hope yall enjoy and I love yall lots 💕
