= Background = Boston is a city mostly comprised of humans, nagas, and humanoid bears. The city has been in a slow decline ever since a corrupt mayor was bought off to allow gang members to form private police groups. Since then various gangs have risen and fallen in power in the city. This has left the city in a constant state of war with most people being forced to join a gang for protection and a living. The most powerful gang to control the city is The Bloods, it was a unspoken rule to never interrupt or join The Bloods. Because of the increase of crime the poorest people are concentrated in the center. While the rich have mostly left the city but a few still remain in gated communities on the outskirts of the city. Even though the city is very segregated, the nagas are still able to live in a separate part of the city, and live in isolation.

The Bloods
This gang is one of the most vicious gangs in Boston. Everyone in Boston is told to never mess with The Bloods and to never disturb them. They have complete control over Boston, the police department, the political people, everyone. People that join the group tend to have abusive and traumatic childhoods and wish to have a sense of protection and control. The only gang that fights against The Bloods are The Cold Beats.

The Dozer Grunts
A minor gang located away from the center of the city. While not very powerful outside of their blocks they have a very tight hold on territories they currently control.

= Classes = Our characters place themselves in three classes, Assassin, Barbarians, and Paladins. Assassins tend to be chaotic evil and would use their charm and intelligence to assassinate their target and have control over some people. Paladins are holy warriors bound by an oath; There characteristics include strength and charisma. Barbarians are usually the muscle in gangs serving as debt collectors and warriors in street fights. While they are fairly common in Boston they are always wanted by gangs in order to increase their muscle.

= Species = A Naga is a species part human and part cobra. These creatures have lived underground for centuries but moved to the surface about 4 decades ago. Because of their early revival they have been forced to live in the slums, the poor and segregated parts of the world. Because of these standards they have become competitive, vicious and aggressive creatures.

Humanoid bear is pretty much a normal bear but is trilingual in bearish, Spanish and English. Stands on two paws and uses the front two paws for holding things, eating and defense. Big build and fur is used for protection and for temperature. Good sense of smells and Good vision.

Humans are the most common sentient species on Earth.

= Songs = The best song to describe the neighborhood is “Shook ones pt II ''. This song best captures how violent the neighborhood is and how bad the gang violence is. A song that represents Sharlete is “I Don’t Care” by Fall Out Boy. This song represents Sharlete because they are selfish and try their best to pit people against each other. They become calm to see others in pain because they believe that others don’t deserve happiness because they never got a sense of true happiness. The best song for Elias is “loose change” because of how he was raised, how the real world changed him, because of how he was raised and how his trauma affected him he wanted to rise up in the ranks ultimately tarnishing who he became as a person. The best song for Ted is “I Won’t Do What You Tell Me” because of his violent nature and independent spirit. Ever since breaking away from The Bloods Ted has done as he wished when he wished according to his code of ethics. All of these songs represent our character' s similar personalities, they are violent and independent people who lived in a traumatic household. The trauma and anger made it difficult for them to make trust anyone.

= Alignment = Alignment is a chart used in shows to categorize the moral and ethical beliefs of a character. There are 9 sections in the chart, there are lawful good, neutral good, chaotic good, lawful neutral, true neutral, chaotic neutral, lawful evil, neutral evil, chaotic evil. Our three character define themselves as lawful neutral, true neural, and chaotic evil

Lawful Neutral —-Ted

A lawful neutral character has strong lawful concepts such as rules, order, honor, and tradition, but they often follow a personal code.

True Neutral—-Elias

A true neutral character is neutral on both sides and tends not to feel strongly towards an alignment, or actively seeks their balance.

Chaotic Evil —- Sharlete

A chaotic evil character tends to have no respect towards rules, laws, other people’s lives, or anything but their own desires. They set a high value on personal freedom, but have no regard for others’ lives and right to freedom. They don’t work well with others because they don’t like being told what to do and usually do not behave themselves unless there are no alternatives. = Weapons = Guns are weapons used for counter attack and rarely for defense. These items are a designated weapon for assassins, equipping them with perfect precision on their target.

Boxing gloves used for strength and heavy hits. Helps get a wider hit target.

Steel chairs are used for strength and damage. Very unconventional and not popular.

= Characters =

Sharlete
Sharlete lived in a negligent and abusive household in the poor slums. They were in a family of seven, four older sisters and two parents; three of the siblings would bully Sharlete except Marshel. Marshel and Sharlete were like peanut butter and jelly and would do anything together. Sharlete at a young age used to love adventure and everyday they and their sister, Marshel would leave their house and get into fights with the other kids in the neighborhood. They would purposely say insults with others and try to get them agitated enough to land the first punch. After one fight, Sharlete and Marshel won and went back home to rest, while walking back home, Sharlete saw a piece of string and a soda bottle cap with a hole, they grabbed it and brought it back to their bedroom. They made a necklace for Marshel and she wore it everyday and never took it off. At the age 16, Marshel and Sharlete made a plan to run away from home and start their own lives, they succeeded and left at the age of 17. They lived on the streets and felt unbothered by the violence because it reminded them of their old home, and they felt like they had an advantage. One night, Sharlete and Marshel saw a gang called The Bloods having a meeting; they were creating a plan to rob a museum in two nights. They were both thrilled about the news and entered into the gang's conversation. They asked to join the mission and the gang members agreed. They helped the gang members get the glistening sapphire and they escaped unharmed after the mission. The two were part of the team and helped them with their missions. On their fifth mission they had to capture a man named Justin Weather, he was the owner and creator of the most powerful company called . Marshel was able to capture the man and was driving back to the lair until she was stopped by a member in a rival gang. They were assigned to kill Justin, when he saw them both they decided to kill two birds with one stone, they shot Marshel right in the head and made the car crash. When Justin tried to escape, the gang rival walked towards him and choked him to death. Hours after the incident, Sharlete was getting anxious and wanted to see if Marshel was ok. When they were looking for her, they found a crime scene and went to investigate. Sharlete saw the person wearing an amulet that they gave to her a long time ago and knew it was Marshel. They grew vengeful and swore to find the person that killed their sister. They left the team and went solo, becoming an assassin and secretly trying to find her sister’s killer. Marshel’s death made Sharlete close off and isolate herself; she never wanted to replace someone like her sister. And when someone tries to replace her sister, they would purposely make their lives a living hell. They wanted that person to be ashamed and regretful for the actions that they did, even if the act was sweet they hated. And if someone is still persistent to be their friend, they will kill them or kill their friends and family.

Ted
Ted “The Bear” Vasilev was born in the slums of Boston. He spent most of his childhood alone as his parents were away working in order to provide for him. As there was no public schooling due to the corrupt local government Ted passed the time by watching WWE matches. As Ted was raised by the WWE tapes he gradually began to associate the wrestling personas with the ideal man. When Ted was 12 his parents were eaten  by a carnivorous rhinoceros. Without a way to make money Ted joined The Bloods as an enforcer.

While working for The Bloods Ted quickly gained a reputation as an insane and brutal member. He would slam steel chairs and suplex people late on payments and rival gang members. While his abilities were valued by the gang leader they did not like his tendency of challenging his superiors to a lethal wrestling match so he could move up the ranks. When Ted was 21 the leaders finally had enough of his behavior they sent him on a suicide mission against a rival gang The Dozer Grunts. Ted was smart enough to realize he was being set up and left to be a grunt for hire. Since then Ted has roamed around the country fighting wherever and whenever he can. His size, strength, aggressive demeanor, and lack of intelligence have led to him being labeled as “The Bear” as both a term of respect and mockery.

Influences:

Ted was mainly inspired by two characters, Don Quixote and Randy Savage. Don Quixote was a major influence on the structure of Ted's backstory. Like Don Quixote believing himself to be a gallant knight, Ted believes himself to be a pro wrestling persona and is out to prove his superiority to the world. He proves this superiority to himself and others by engaging in ring fights with others. Ted also has his own personal idea of honor and always follows the rules of the ring. Ted’s persona is based off of Randy Savage, a wrestler active from 1973-2004, Ted is flamboyant and bold like Randy Savage.

Elias
Elias, He's a tall bear who works in the business industry. Elias had a very bad come up. His mom was murdered by hunters. He also had close encounters with them but luckily survived. He grew up rarely even having the chance to afford good clothes. He lived in the woods of Boston, Massachusetts so he would have to eat scraps or hunt for small mammals. Which in the long run would not give him enough vitamins or proteins. As a bear he eventually started to grow into himself and make a better diet for himself. Since He became stronger he worked in a few labor jobs (ups, amazon etc). These jobs allowed him to gain a very crucial object in life. This object was money. With money he was able to finally eat better and dress better which eventually gave him a business opportunity. With business he had enough time to keep himself distracted and to ultimately do something he might be interested in. With business he was able to buy a house. Has the money started to rack up so did his feelings about how wasteful his life was, How badly he misses his dead relatives, How much grief he has been holding on to over the years. With this feeling he started to slip into an addiction. An alcohol addiction. This addiction ruined everything in his life. Eventually the friends he had didn't want to be surrounded with an alcoholic, The girls he surrounded himself with were only with him for the money, and his clients lost all respect for him once they heard about his incidents. He became lost in his mind and started relapsing into alcohol even more, Drinking and drinking hoping that the next drink he has will be his last. The area he lived in was a bad area and a boring one so people in the area would often host boxing matches. If you were to participate you would get no revenue from it at all but Elias took it as an outlet to let all his rage and anger out. Once he joined he would start sending people to the ER. He began to enjoy this hobby because he felt he didn't have to hold back from anyone. When people caught wind of this he was criticized even more and was even driven out of town by various harassment situations and lawsuits dealing with assault and battery. This eventually drove him out of town, he took a few days, ran rampant in the woods to find a new home and eventually landed in New York. With his strength he decided to pursue that passion for boxing. This passion helped him have a healthy outlet for his rage and overall would furthermore benefit him because he is in a new city, new people, and even better opportunities. He eventually climbed back up the ladder gaining everything he ever wanted back but he couldn't get back the one thing he wanted. He couldn't gain back happiness. No matter how much money, woman, or drinks he had he will never be happy. There will always be a sense of emptiness or even a hole in his life, There will always be something he's missing.
