Dark Colony: New Haven - Bad Moon Rising

Displaying Dark Colony- New Haven.png

Welcome to New Haven.

Worse than it's real world sister, New Haven in the World of Darkness is an awful, destitute city overrun with drugs, gang violence and police corruption. The jobless and uneducated whisper about urban legends of human trafficking and organ thieves. Every now and again, someone says they saw something but it's never long before that person stops talking about it or is found later. mutilated almost beyond recognition and left out for all to see in the morning. This is a place where everyone is afraid and no one makes it out.

The Packs

Elm Haven Dynasty - The pack has seen better nights. With the loss of their Ductus Snaptooth in an Monomancy years ago they have slowly fallen to the wayside as newer packs emerge and take over the city. The Ductus, Trent is a Toreador Antitribu on Path of Orion and some could say he will die soon to something he cannot fight.

Kool Kids - Made entirely of demented child embraces, this pack tends to unnerve even the most stone cold Sabbat in the city. They come and go as they please, often dragging along their hapless pet ghoul "Miss Teacher" and play ultra-violent Games of Instinct. Their Ductus is a mysterious Cainite named "AntiChris" who who is regarded by locals with a degree of infamy. In recent nights they have seen their numbers all but disapear due to actions taken in Hartford. Only two of them survived and they have started building their numbers back up once again.

Lickity Split Posse - Harkening back to the heights of ICP popularity, this pack of rejects has managed to corner much of the heroin game in New Haven and does surprisingly well for themselves. They're obnoxious and aggressive, comprised primarily of Brujah Antitribu and Tzimisce. Members of the pack carry a signature hatchet and tend to wear face paint to formal occasions, especially Monomacy.

The Midnight Ride - These Gangrel Antitribu and Panders keep watch of the train station. They're a loyal Sabbat pack with years of service. Unfortunately they had a feud amongst themselves a few years back and during a particularly trying time most the pack was destroyed. They are recovering still and have since buried the hatchet on the feud to help the Sabbat as a whole.

The Shadow Aristocracy - Wealthy and powerful group of Cainites who were once tied to the former Archbishop Edward Rowlands. This pack is rarely seen since his betrayal, preferring to avoid what they consider sad remnants of the once glorious New Haven force. Their Ductus is Ramona Suarez, the daughter of a once infamous cartel who follows the path of Cathari.

The Others

The Zantosa Revenants - Owners of the most popular Esbat location in New Haven (Toad's Place), the Zantosa family keeps New Haven in good spirits, providing a wide assortment of part favors and generally looking out for the local Covens. As a rule they do not take sides in most Sabbat conflicts instead providing support for diplomatic solutions.

News at 10

Around 7pm EST Saturday and continuing further later into the evening on in teh weekend, the news comes out of North Central Florida of what seems bombs, terrorist attack, natural disasters, and godzilla monster attack--all confined within the space of a few city blocks.

A region of the greater metro area of Ocala looks like the impossible aftermath of a Hollywood disaster movie. The ground is ripped unnaturally out of the ground in parts, forming jagged edges, spots with whole ripped cracks in the ground or sinkholes. Trees are strewn around in almost unnatural positions, branches, cars, building debris, blown everywhere from a F-5 tornado, and there's reports that both groundwater and part of a nearby body of water just happened to flow out from downtown and flood the streets. (In the aftermath, it's somehow flowed down back through the landscape to where it's supposed to be.) Patches and slicks of ice--incongruent with the recent weather reports--along the sides and streets, and scorch marks from fire and electrical in odd patterns on the structures and pavements.

Fire crews look like they have just finished putting out a fire that partly consumed some residential buildings. There are emergency crews everywhere. Police have whole parts of the area marked off and under guard. There are detectives and investigators--a small percentages of which with tags for agencies you may not recognize--that have arrived and continue to arrive. OSHA, Hazmat, Florida National Guard, state agencies, and a few federal are coming up on the scene. There are chemical smells in the area in addition to gasoline reported, indicative of the kind that comes from chemical or biological weapons . However, other that the awesome damage, nothing else indicative of a firefight, combat, or explosive are found within the area.

Witnesses and reports describe a freakish series of forces striking or assaulting a monstrous creature. ((Those that would recognize him: Void; otherwise, those that know what it looks like, a Tzimisce in Horrid Form; otherwise, it is described as an 11 foot fur and bone spiked monstrous humanoid...thing). He (it?) looks to be fighting/ripping off parts of the street trying to move, avoiding being swallowed up, fighting off hundreds of sharp branches, flying glass, trash, street signs, power lines. Some mortals were fleeing this in panic, others filming it. There are recording of those rationalizing it as pure special effects, others panicking and describing it as everything from Alien to sasquatch, and the rest just thankful that they survived OK (or bewailing what they lost because their insurance won't cover the damage). Some are saying this is similar to an event that happened in the city 9 years ago, but on an even more localized, concentrated scale.
