in flames rp

it’s been long overdue, but we finally have our first preview for you guys! there’s quite a bit of information, so read and enjoy! first off, in flames will focus on four fictional cities in arizona. each of the cities are within driving distance of one another to allow for more character interaction no matter where they live! the general premise of the site:

for decades, northern arizona has lured in people from all over the world. from the grand canyon, the relatively warm weather year round, and its close proximity to other popular tourist areas such as las vegas, it’s attracted people of all kinds. just south of the grand canyon, there’s a small group of towns and cities near the interstate 40. visitors and locals have called the towns charming, exciting, and have placed high value on the community-like feel they exude. there’s a lesser known name for the area; law enforcement have taken to calling this part of arizona “the crime trap”. it consists of four cities/towns: delton, westbrink, richland, and verona. underneath all the charm and excitement, there has been a problem brewing in north central arizona for longer than anyone care admit. these cities have nurtured, and in some cases valued, various crime organizations that have settled roots deep enough that many people believe they can never be pulled free. walking down the street and realizing that any of the people around you could make their living through illegal pursuits is just the way things are, how they’ve always been. those who stay in the crime trap long enough come to realize that they can go with the current, or spend their entire lives trying to fight against it.

and without further ado, here’s some quick information on four out of seven criminal organizations characters are welcome to be a part of. more detailed information about these organizations will be given within the next few days. 

the sonoran disciples

The sonoran disciples is a motorcycle club occupying the small town of Delton, Arizona. Founded in the 1950s, the disciples were considered a blemish on Delton’s history until the 80s, when locals began to see the club as protectors of the small community (though law enforcement often interchanges the word ‘club’ with ‘gang’). As such, their sins are often forgiven - it’s a long list, including gun running, aggravated assaults, and in some member’s cases, murder - and people look the other way. Because the disciples offer a grim kind of justice that law enforcement simply can’t provide. Thus, many people of Delton go to the disciples for protection and demands of justice against those who have wronged them.

“bitch” / vetere

Vetere is a multinational technology company and is one of the largest companies in the United States. It has operations in 10 different countries, and there’s plans to double that number within the next ten years. Vetere has headquarters in Richland, Arizona, and some of the sharpest minds in the world work on the production and development of technology - mainly, computers and cellphones. Other than being a rising star in the business world, much of the chatter among the media revolves around the employees themselves: the number of Vetere’s employees are overwhelmingly women. There are about 20 women to 1 man working at Vetere, and while lawsuits have been filed under the guise of discrimination on behalf of some scorned potential male employees, Vetere has walked away unscathed. Yet perhaps the greatest secret Vetere has to offer is one that the general public doesn’t know; the entire company, for all its success, is a front to the true business. The brightest women working for Vetere across the world are part of a crime syndicate the media has taken to calling “Bitch” - a title they have lovingly taken on. The women of Vetere are full of hackers, con artists, smugglers, and thieves carrying out some of the most elaborate schemes for the last two decades. The group itself is something of a ghost story among modern media, as none of the crimes suspected to be committed by this group of women have led to an arrest.

civilians for justice

The Civilians for Justice are not a recognized crime organization; rather, their purpose is just the opposite. While the “crime trap” of Arizona has more than its fair share of miscreants and lawbreakers, there are a number of people who wish to free their communities from the criminals that have had a hold on it for the past few decades. They feel law enforcement has not done enough to keep their communities safe, either because of the inability to do so or because of the level of influence these criminals have over the community. They schedule protests, post information about suspected (and proven) criminals across town and online, and generally harass those that they feel are ruining their society. While the CFJ are based in Westbrink, they are quite involved in what’s happening in the other nearby cities as well. They’ve even gone so far as to conduct their own stakeouts and investigations, hoping to catch potential lawbreakers in the act and hopefully be able to push the justice system into action. Despite their claims for wanting to help protect the community, a few skeptics wonder if they might not be becoming what they hate, considering their tendency to bend the rules and ignore certain ones all together in the pursuit of trying to put bad people in jail.
