Sign Up Liberty City - Invasion

[Flash]

The convoy of Russian trucks and vans roared down the main street of Staunton Island, causing a few Yardies to turn their heads. This was unexpected. They were heading east, for Portland. They had come from Shoreside, or more specifically, the tunnel connecting to the mainland. They'd finally arrived, battered and bruised. This was their refuge. Liberty City.

Flashback.

The events that took place 7 days ago in Carsor city. The city was totally under Gang rule. The gang known as the 'Zaibatsu', controlled by 'Z', was no doubt in control of the city itself. There were other gangs; The Krishnas, the Yakuza, the SRS, the Russians... But the dark reach of the Zaibatsu spread across the entirety of Carsor city. If you didn't have the repsect, you were dead. There were a few who dared to make no alliances, no friends... But none of them lived to tell their tale.

The other gangs were tired of Z's dominance over the city. Alliances were made, and truces called. Most of the gangs bound together, and the dominant ones were the Russians and the Yakuza. The SRS Scientists made a large contribution to the cause as well, supplying technology and weapons to the 'Soviet Yakuza'. It was a glorious sight to see, the day the raid happened. Hundreds of Russian and Yakuza gang cars stormed into the Zaibatsu's Island hideout, 'the Village'. Glorious in its own cataclysmic beauty. Russian Car-bombs ruptured the walls of Zaibatsu structures, while Yakuza armed with Flamethrowers and Molotov's turned the place into a living hell. But it didn't last long. Zaibatsu arrived from the Residental and Industrial district quickly, and took the Soviet Yakuza from behind. In a few minutes, most of the attacking party was dead. But by now, the military had gotten involved. The Zaibatsu made a stronghold out of the Village, which was contstantly under assault by the army. The Zaibatsu had nowhere left to run--Aside from their 'secret exit', via an Overpass across the Red Neck's trailer park. Z ordered a retreat of the Zaibatsu, and, while exiting, blew the city's water plant.

The Russians and Yakuza, broken apart by the incident, also left the now Military controlled Carsor city. The Red Necks took over most of the abandoned territory, fighting constant land wars with the Loonies and Krishna. The SRS base was targetted by the Army, and quickly overrun. Many Scientists escaped the city, however, taking out the power plant just to piss city hall off as they left.

But there aren't many places for a mass wave of criminals to flee to. But, there is one place. Liberty City. All the gangs thought they were being pretty smart, but had no idea they were all heading for the same place. The Russians decided to drive in, while the Yakuza came in onboard a massive tanker stolen from the Carsor city docks. Z rounded up all the Zaibatsu he could, and brought them in on boats and in massive Cargo planes, landing at Francis International. The SRS drove in via the new Portland/mainland bridge, now under their control.

As you can imagine, most of the gangs in Liberty are less than happy with the new arrivals. Some, however, are pleased. Asuka, in control of the Liberty Yakuza, was most pleased to see Hiro, leader of the Carsor Yakuza, and an old friend of her brother. The Leone Mafia is worried about the Russians, taking control of the Portland docks. But, with the Mafia focussing on the Russians, the Triads have gotten power hungry. This has shaken up the Diablos, who are forming an alliance with the Yardies, who are spooked about the massive Yakuza growth. However, the Carsor Yakuza has brought information about the Zaibatsu, who have already begun to inhabit the southern and western side of Staunton Island. But with the Yakuza worrying about this, the Columbian Cartel have snuck back into the Pan Lantic construction site. However, the buildings currently under construction are contracted... To Z of the Zaibatsu. And they have been, ever since they were first started. But the Columbian Cartel have no idea of this. And with most of them gone from Shoreside vale, the Red Jacks and South Side Hoods have stepped up the severity of their turf wars, with the Nines now expanding, and finally getting a foothold in the street gang ladder. And the SRS scientists have set up a base of their own, at the Observatory over looking Shoreside vale. And on top of all of this, a once abandoned Oil-rig has shown signs of activity... But not of oil drilling.

Things in Liberty City are heating up. Gangs are looking for new recruits, and crime is at an all time high. The police are losing control, and the CIA has been dispatched. The ATF branch of the LCPD has been majorly rehauled, and given alot more power. They need it. City hall is powerless, and the stealthy Zaibatsu have all ready dug their claws into the city's political system.

Welcome to Liberty City. The worst place in America.

Personality: Mostly not one to keep his opinion to himself, volatile, and always on the edge. Anything can make him snap, and everything usual does. The type to kick his tires before he gets in his car, and to draw his weapon before he hears any sound or sign of impending danger.

Bio/History: Neil was raised in the ghetto by a young, beautiful woman named Sasanko, having some long and complicated relationship with Asuka. One day when Neil was 14, he came home from pick-pocketing neighbors to find his apartment a wreak, Sasanko gone, and a scribbled note telling him to find Asuka and "request guidence as a favor for an old friend".

Several years later, at the present, Neil is what Liberty City Police Department would like to call "Armed, extremely dangerous, and to be avoided at all costs." Known for extremely swift and brutal killings.

[font=gothic][color=crimson]Name: Lacroix Vukodlak
Age: 22
Height: 6 ft
Initial Weapon/s: Twin reaper knives (cross handle, blade on either side. Shaft running down forearm ending in bard.) Semi automatic handgun.
Initial Vehicle: ATV
Gang Affiliation: None
Description: (see attachment). Also wears hooded cloak that in no way impedes movement. Lacroix's body is covered in scars, remnants of his past.
Personality:Loner. Introverted and unfriendly. Athiestic existentialist. Due to his past, he is almost completely unemotionless. He tends to be guarded about revealing what he is thinking, or details about himself.

Bio/History: Lacroix lived an easy childhood, removed from violence, although he studied multiple martial arts as a sport. At 17, he encountered some people that said they knew him, and claimed they were offering an position in a fighting tourament. They warned that it was expensive and to bring a lot of money.

Fired with the idea of some freedom, Lacroix returned home the next night, breaking into his own house. Although it disgusted him, he stole all the money he could find. His parents were wealthy, so it was a lot.

Lacroix turned up at the named venue, a nightclub, dark in reputation and clients. As soon as he walked in, he was attacked, robbed and left for dead.

Bleeding and maddened with pain, Lacroix managed to run away and get to the edge of town. He escaped into the wilderness, slowly healing. When he returned to civilisation, none of his former acquaintances knew him. He was an emotionless killer, refusing to submit to any law but his own. Contemptuous of other people, he returned to his training and started using weapons.

Lacroix nows frequents the nightlcub he was attacked in. His attackers do as well. But they're hung in pieces on the roof. Lacroix was left insane, and there is very little anyone else can do to rein him in.[/font][/color]
