Themes: contempt for family, running away, finding yourself, moralism
Longing to distance themselves from both their parents (now hugely disliked) and their sibling (always bragging about their popularity), Etienne strives to find their own place in the world, not weighed down by the philosophy running through the La Rosa veins. They want something else for themselves. A place where one can comfortably exist, grow, and prosper without relying on boring and monotone labour. A place where creativity, smarts, and hope play a role. Etienne wants to do everything in their power to truly embody a vision of a better world, not just through silently working but through being vocal and pushing politically. They even have accumulated some renown outside of La Cage as a social campaigner in cooperation with the Coalition. And that brings all kinds of unwanted attention to Etienne, both from the local gang and hardcore Suzerainists.
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 A is the wealthier one - it consists of people that are sure to have food even next week but are not entirely sure if they can get medical care in times of need. All while enjoying the luxury of reliable electricity and mostly repaired windows. The people living here have at least some "power" due to their jobs, but almost everybody is afraid that their little slice of paradise will be taken from them by relocation to a different flat.
The North Wing Crew is a fresh local La Cage street posse, that took on a legacy of a previous crew during a power vacuum, centered around the Immigrant wing. Always sporting the orange color and patched jackets, keeping it fresh and always reciting some experimental dope bars while blasting loud and aggressive music on the corners of their turf and having a life-long rivalry with a South Side Crew 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 South Side Crew up, and then have to fulfill that promise. After all, they fight from the position of the underdogs, who are going to show the fancy-ass Apartment people, who are the real deal here.
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.
