Blackwater rundown.

[Billie.]

Blackwater, AZ Just a ''hop skip and a jump'' off of Route 66. Sixty seven (67) miles from Phoenix. The town Blackwater was once a booming sort of activity back in the late 1800's.  The supernatural communities existence wrapped around the tunnels and families of power. In the mid 1900's their resources went dry. And the old city lay tucked away too far inland to promote elsewise interest. A vast and hidden place nestled just beyond short but dangerous bluffs. And as the human population began to die out, the wolves thrived. They valued the tunnels, the secrecy, and the towns mysterious roots. all naturally carry some major secrets, and through the new charismatic alpha sisters,  who recently siege the title Valkyries through fabian strategy and total debellation. Billie Wren and Vianne Fields lay claim to the territory. Abolishing their ties with New York totally at the peak of werewolf and government clash. Hidden away in the west it lies secluded from  the recent happenings of government activity.... at least at first. ---------------------------

RULES.
ooc ---> ic.

I. Everything is played out in character (IC*). Any knowledge obtained has to have been mentioned or played out with the exception of general all around plot basis things. If your character suddenly knows things they shouldn't and you cant toss the evidence to why up, a Blackwater moderator has the right to flag the post and bring up a discussion of removing it from the "timeline''. Keep in mind this almost never happens. 


II. Don't bring out of character drama to this little fun fictional playground. Please dont be the one to piss in the pool okay.

III.  Profile links in signatures make referencing very easy so if you could keep to that I'd be grateful for a lifetime. ( And so would everyone else.)

IV. At this point persona's are a requirement to roleplay in Blackwater. It makes things so much easier for everyone. ( And if you need to have a persona made dont be afraid to PM on this account or my main account *OCCULT*).

V. All supernatural are welcome, although werewolves are a majority of the members and any other species may have a harder time finding acceptance here.

VI. Blackwater is Consent.

---

I. Blackwater despite having a Matriarch, was shifted to be a democracy after the previous Alpha was murdered. But while things are still based on majority vote; the current Alpha's hand(s) counts for two each. They hold favor of the citizens, and as long as they hold favor and go unchallenged their word is law. Do as they say or be prepared to face the consequence to your actions. 


II. Killing (packmate or human) or ''turning'' another is strictly forbidden without the okay from the Alpha. Both are subject to be trialed as murder. 

III. You are not allowed to leave the territory without a heads up. Although members are free to join and leave at their own digression. 

IV. Keep your head down and report suspicious activity. 

V. No changing in residential areas. No romping the streets as a giant werewolf. No letting a human know what you are, about the pack, or that a huge secret society of werewolves exist just outside of their doorstep. These are all seen as acts of treason. And you will be punished accordingly.

Details...

The territory of the "pack" (the current governing force)  is centered around the town of Blackwater, Arizona. While its namesake hails from the small town, most folks collectively use the term “Blackwater” to encompass the region claimed by the werewolf pack that resides within. At roughly 70? square miles in size, it contains vast areas of desert to the south and mountains to the north. Common sights include rocky crags, caves, and hidden bodies of water. Common plants in the desert-most region include species of cacti, brushweed, and select succulents, while those in the most mountainous regions contain species of pine, oaks, and walnut trees. The native wildlife ranges from small rodents to bighorn sheep, coyotes, snakes, lizards, and jackrabbits, to name a few. The climate is consistently arid and hot during the summer with dangerously high temperatures, yet it cools considerably overnight. Due to some mountainous elevations, these temperatures can vary depending on the location despite the season. It seldom rains, however, and the territory is in a constant state of drought. Speckled throughout the territory of Blackwater lie many gorges, ruts, and natural rock formations. Out in the deserts of Arizona, a wolf can find all sorts of interesting trouble to dig up- So long as they abide by pack rules.


Town History & Accommodations
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Drop a handful of marbles on the concrete and maybe they’ll stop rolling in a similar pattern of towns to the barren landscape. Stretched few and far between, the folks stubborn enough to stick roots to the sand make their homes in clusters across the countryside. Blackwater was established somewhere in the early-to-mid 1800's, and once harbored a natural spring, which soon attracted its share of explorers seeking their fortunes in gold. Unfortunately the most gold the town ever saw was a handful of nuggets just large enough to perk the ears. Folks lived simply after those days, and as interest waned, so did the population. In the late 1800's, a wildfire swept through a vast majority of the territory, marring the spring dark as sooty sludge before it finally quit bubbling from the earth all together. Perhaps it’s some small miracle it’s even a dot on the map, solely thanks to the gold rush days- A perfect place of refuge for those who don’t wish to be found.

Seeing as Blackwater sprung up along the roadside through to Phoenix, the main stretch runs right through the middle of town. The one red light stop doesn’t offer much other than housing, considering most residents work closer to the city area. The most noticeable establishments are a hardware store, a gas station, a small convenience store, and a mom and pop diner. If you’re searching for expensive items or finery, you’d best look elsewhere. Being an older town, the pavement cracks support more weeds than they do cars. The people, however, have formed a pleasant community amongst themselves built upon small family values and neighborly attitudes.

The Blackwater pack conducts business in one of the foreclosed houses close to the main street. The little house has since been purchased by their joint fund, but little expense has been dedicated to the upkeep and it remains the center hub of Blackwater activity.
