WELCOME TO THE UNDERWORLD CIRCUIT.
SO CALLED BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SINK ANY LOWER WITHOUT FALLING RIGHT INTO HELL.
Welcome to the underbelly of Nevada. Operating in an organised group of cells, living out of abandoned warehouses and in stretches of unused sewer pipes underneath the city of Reno itself, is a thriving community of criminals.
HONOUR AMONGST THIEVES.
thieves, con artists, prostitutes, drug dealers... and some much worse besides. they all seem to know one another through a complex system of owed favours and past dealings. the saying is wrong, there is no honour amongst these thieves. back stabbing, cheating and lying are all common place. these folks are just trying to make a dishonest living and if you take that away, you're going to pay.
I SHOT A MAN IN RENO JUST TO WATCH HIM DIE.
then again, not all of these people are simply doing what they have to because they need to get by. in amongst the littering of criminals and lowlife's are some who are... dangerous. really and truly dangerous. there are some who are in it for the thrill. some who simply enjoy wreaking havoc and sewing the sweet seeds of chaos.
TWO HOUSEHOLDS, BOTH ALIKE IN DIGNITY.
the hart's and dodge's have had a personal feud and a difficult business relationship for as long as anybody can remember, but about a year ago it erupted into war. both families are widely respected among the underworld circuit and now that they're unable to coexist... lines are being drawn, bodies are turning up with frightening frequency, people are turning on those they once considered allies. the underground circuit has never been a safe place, but now death and betrayal are waiting around every corner.
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE...
if you're not under the employ of either family, you might well wonder how this effects you. let me tell you, the criminal center of reno is changing. no longer content to just do business side by side in relative harmony, the hart's and dodge's have domination on the mind. until one family rules the whole system, they're not going to stop. so you better pick a side.
ACCIDENTS HAPPEN.
those who choose to stay neutral aren't staying neutral for long before they're either forced to declare their loyalty or killed. once you've pledged your alleigance to one family or the other, you owe them a significant cut of your profits and goods... but at least they'll keep you safe. kind of. accidents do happen, after all. especially if there's even a hint of doubt about where your loyalty truly lies.
IN THE NAME OF THE LAW.
the one thing that all these diverse criminals have in common is this: they're all extremely elusive. slippery. hard to pin down. reno police department is constantly hauling suspects into custody, only to have to let them go on a technicality. the law is getting frustrated. civilians are getting scared. but none of this much matters to the hart's or dodge's when they only have eyes for each other and their dreams of destruction.
WHERE DO YOU STAND?
