Themes: catching up with the past, fragile relationships, rivalry
Hun was not born as a tough leader of a drillslam posse and a fairly successful clothes designer/maker. They used to be the younger sibling of Momma Meier, the matriarch of the now-rich Meier family. But when the going got tough, Hun did not want to comply with the new family rules, did not want to run a sweatshop, and found themselves more and more at odds with the rest of their family. After some unsavoury moments, Hun left the family apartment and business and had to stay with the sewer people for a few weeks.
But Hun built back. Now, they are leading a drillslam crew and running a “designer boutique” with their partner. Hun managed and won. So why is everything still balancing on a knife's edge all the time? Something's got to give.
Everybody who lives in La Cage is mostly poor and desperate. The families and professionals living in Apartment Blocks are the ones who really try to keep some semblance of normality in their lives. The Block B consists mostly of tradesmen and people of other desirable professions. People with no exceptional wealth or status, but the ones who are good and honest at their job and are beneficial to the La Cage. Educated, but not burgeois - teacher, nurse, students, social worker or people jilted from Block A. They mostly want to stay far from the troubles and extreme ideologies (to a small degree of success) but are willing to help each other as much as they can - like a big family.
Suzerainists believe in self-governance for Revachol and the very intense need for its independence. They mostly follow right-wing values, some of them are very nostalgic towards pre-Revolution imperium, and some of the Revolutionary communists might find themselves also aligned with this point of view. They are hostile towards the Coalition, partly Moralintern and very much towards corporations. They have a lot of revisionary sentiment.
Suzerainists mostly gather around the leadership of von Bergens, but there is a possibility for some discussion on who is best suited to lead them. They wear a Revachol sun as a symbol of clear allegiance to Revachol.
Globalists are people who mostly believe in some version of the current status quo, want to be under the Coalition control, believe that corporations can be reined in/ controlled/ regulated only by international control, or are not a problem at all. They would mostly tend towards centrist, centre-left ideas and they do not mind things taking quite some time. They wear blue forget-me-nots, showing allegiance to Moralintern and Coalition. At this moment, Globalists are hardly organized. The Moralintern mission in the block is trying to stay away from local politics. Jacqueline Baciu is considered a hero by some, old, washed up, and possibly corrupted by others.
The South Side Crew is a local La Cage street posse with a legacy, centered around the Apartment wing. Always sporting the purple color, and always reciting some sicko bars while blasting loud and violent drill music on the corners of their turf and having a life-long rivalry with a North Wing Slammers group. They spend their time not only spray-marking their territory and coming up with lit insults and rhymes, but also often making bold claims about how they will fuck the North Wing Slammers up, and then have to fulfill that promise. Lucky for them, they are not messing around and afraid of being as aggressive, as their lyrics suggest.
Looking for a spot to unwind, spill your guts, or just soak in some good stories over a round of drinks? Well, you've stumbled upon The Regulars - a bunch of locals who've practically made the bar their second home. But here's the thing: you might find yourself a bit out of place because you are not one of them.
