this is the place you write up & post your application for the site. Post in the general area and you will be sorted as we see fit

Come here to claim everything you need for your character

Are you friends with the backstabbing bitch or the weak sweet heart? This is the place to document all relationships created and broken.

Everyone has a photo album so they can remember the good times and the bad. Use the code inside to get a sub board for your characters photos and memories

an internet community where the goal is to have the best pictures and the most friends. most people just come on here to chat and talk to their friends. or just comment and post pictures of themselves.

Faster than email and myspace and all those other internet sites. Everyone has one now.

Every character, as I'm sure, has a song that just applies to them. or a few. You can post your characters theme songs, iPod playlists, and songs that just apply to their everyday life in here. Use the code for your subboard.

Every store in the Uptown is here. Sephora, Macy's all that jazz. Food Court Inside.

From the outside, this warehouse looks pleasant. But, truly, you must have a death wish to come near it. The Warehouse is a hangout of the Heartshots. Stay the hell away unless you want to get shot.

Need a nice place to stay? to hook up? Or just somewhere to kill a certain somebody where you know the sheets will be stainless afterwards? This is your place.

The best place to go for a concert. Basically you're asking for insta-death if you walk in here and Mandii's already there. Most gangs don't attend concerts because of that. The floor is on springs and the popular bands play here.

Its a housing track of mansions where all the uptown kids live. Mostly funded by Mandii's father so they can all live luxuriously.

One of the most dangerous places to be in Chicago. This is where all the gangs are forced to come together. School. Hell. The majority of the fights start/finish here. More deaths have happened in the lower level bathroom than have occurred on the streets.

Well, not everybody can afford a car. The midtown subway station will get you pretty much anywhere in the city you need to go. But be careful, not everybody standing next to you on the platform is your friend.

An emptied pool is where the Confined call home. They meet there and god forbid anyone trespass onto it.

Inventors of the classic Chicago deep dish pizza, Pizzeria Uno is one of the most popular restaurants in midtown. It's just a tiny little hole in the wall, but damn it if they don't have the best food for twenty miles in any direction. It's dark, and crowded inside, but everybody loves it anyways. Just try not to piss off the owners with your gang banger shit, and you'll be fine.

Your friendly neighborhood purveyors of all things neat, spiffy, and super keen. Mostly consisting of selling movies & music, both new and used, it's also the best place in the city to find movie & video game rentals, and has a pretty decent comic book section too. Of course, you'll have to wade through a few "Star Wars vs Star Trek" debates to get there, but it's worth it in the end, right?

A gated housing track in the middle of MidTown Chicago. Most people live here. The houses stretch from two rooms to four and are reasonably priced for being so nice.

Did you actually get caught by the five oh? You poor creature. Well, now you're stuck in here until someone comes and bails your ass out or they take you to jail. Have fun.

A large building in the middle of the city. Awesome rails for skateboarding, but good luck trying. Security patrols the entire area. If you're caught up here, you're most definitely going to police station.

Pretty high class lawyers work here. They're the best of the bunch. But, you'll only get their services for a pretty penny. Most of the downtown and midtown kids would never be able to afford this.

Didn't win your case did you? Of course not. Not with those pretty porcelain fendi facelift lawyers. Yep. Now you're here in Chicagos prison. Don't drop the soap.

This grave site is open to anyone. There is a written rule outside that both head gangs agreed upon. There will be no fighting here. It is sacred ground to them and their gangs. No desecrating graves.

In a town filled with death, stabbings, drive by shootings and every other bit of violence you can think of, it would be a damned shame if they didn't have a hospital.

A place where most people come to think. A pond with a fountain in the middle sits at the center of the park. Rose bushes line the other layers along with iron gates.

A two story building in the middle of the neutral grounds in Chicago. Hardwood floors and mirrors every where on the first floor. The top floor has the ballet bars, open windows all around and a wall of mirrors.

a very popular two story night club in the center of Chicago. A rad urban dancefloor with disco balls on the ceiling. there's a neon bar and a lit up bar. Everyone wants in. Flash your gang colors for a discount.

This is the hangout for Venom gang. It has the same standards as Heartshots hang out. Only come near if you have a death wish.

Most people who come here really dont come to skate. It's usually a fighting arena at the bottom of a bowl. Blood stains the concrete surrounding it.

The hottest rave club in all of chicago. Awesomely named after the Medic Droid song "Fer Sure", the club pumps out loud raver music and spews fog and bubbles.

Do you really need me to explain what this is or what happens in it? Jesus people...

A section of decent apartments in the lower section of Downtown Chicago. They only go up to three bedrooms and utilities are completely separate.

A rundown theater that is the home of the Unforgiven. This place appears rundown, but with a closer look inside you'd see why they call it home. Do not come to the matinée.

One of the best Gentleman's clubs in Chicago, it's paid for by Tony, but ran by one of the Unforgiven. These girls don't entertain for cheap. They're exotic dancers, not whores.

50 Acres of fun, food and shopping, this place is the number one tourist attraction in all of Chicago. There are a few carnival rides on the pier itself. Most noticeable is the large Ferris Wheel that runs year round. Tread lightly though. It's guarded with an iron fist.

Did you imagine a big city to not have a dock? Ships bustle in and out, using trading along Lake Michigan to their full advantage. This is also a good place for hiding someone or maybe dumping a body. Be careful though. There are several Mob dealings here.

Low kept apartments that span over six blocks. Depending on the land lord depends on the quality. Make sure you pay your rent or you're on the streets

Tony's base of operations in Chicago. On the ground floor you will find the most heart racing selection of games of chance Chicago has too offer. The upper floors offer up lodging for people who vacation in the area or that can't find their way home after a bad beat and pleanty of booze. On the Top floor and roof is a heated pool and the high roller's club where the big winners go to enjoy cocktails and stories of there good luck. Below the glitz is where Tony and his drug running begin. With the mask of clean all american fun above it no cop has been able to stick his nose too far into Tony's business. If Tony should ever need to talk to you in private amongst his territory, this is where you will be told to go.

Hey metal head, you bored tonight? You just sitting at home drinking beer and eating pizza. Playing a game of cards wishing there was somewhere to feed your need for a good mosh and kick ass local bands that are geared up to blow the top of your skull clean off. WELL NOW YOU HAVE ONE! The best place for local music since it was erected a year ago, The Headbanger's Ballroom has been the hot spot for anyone who has to feed the need for the next generation of real life Guitar Heroes

Tony Tripton rebuilt the Catholic High School for some of his friends in the Foster Home out of Tony's pocket, junior and high school for the kids of urban Chicago to go to and learn themselves a book and a math or two. Enjoy Marian Catholic High School playing Armour High School in their newly built Sports Arena.

Right next door to the Catholic High School, Tony's best friends grew up here and some even still live here. He put money into this school and turned the once decaying two story building into a thriving home for homeless and parentless children.

Wonder where all those pretty boys and girls go to race their magnificent cars? This is the place. The main track is hidden on the outskirts of town. The main is actually underground. And then there are few drawn through the city streets. Be careful where you drive, you might just get caught in the middle.

There are quite a few spread out over town, but here are the main garages. A lot of racers, if having acquired enough cars and cash, can have something that looks like a full on upscale parking garage for their cars.

Wonder where everyone gets their gear for their cars and themselves? Here would be the place. Everything from NOs to new seat covers can be found in this magnificent store.
