Beside the coast, the city of Revachol, the city of fallen tyrants, mobrule and disco, slowly wakes up after a long, hard night, unknowing of what today, or any other day from now, may bring.

Greetings, and welcome to Elysium, or at least one part of the greater Elysium. This story begins in the run-down, beaten-up city of Revachol, on the continent/isola of Insulinde, one of the six interconnected "continents" drifting about in the ever-growing Pale, a vast empty void only few skilled travelers know how to traverse. Below will follow some basic details on the city, basic plot(s) and character information.
The Setting
As mentioned above, Revachol is essentially a glorified ruin city. Formerly the capital of a tyrannical, insane monarchy, the city was the epicenter of the Antecentennial Revolution (this world's version of a communist/anarchist revolution),which decimated the city, and deposed the former power structures (before the revolution collapsed itself, as all things eventually do in Elysium)
Now the city is under the special control of the Insulinde Coalition, a disparate group of factions working "together" to keep stability as much as possible. The police/military force are the RCM, or Revachol Citizens Militia, but in most of Revachol, especially the outer parts, their authority is ignored and vigilante/mob justice is the norm.
The city itself is divided into districts, but the SB will start in Martinaise, a neighbourhood of the Jamrock disctrict effectively for the rejects/outcasts of society, "ruled" in effect by the Dockworker's Union bosses.

Plot
Unknown to almost all but the most learned people (and almost none of them ever come to the Jamrock district, and even less to Martinaise) the Pale, essentially a "tangible" void, is devouring this continent faster and faster everyday. The closer it gets to civilisation, the more it... alters people's minds to become more aggressive/prone to irrational behaviours, which unfortunately gets put off by most people as the effect of drugs/alcohol.
As such, when people start going missing, especially the homeless and children, most people don't notice.
But our characters aren't most people. Our characters may be anything from a down-on-their-luck RCM official (police officer), or an ordinary Dockworker, or a mechanic or librarian, or even another teen/kid, but the point is that they have started realising something is happening in Martinaise, and they must find a way to stop it.
Characters
Other than being set in a different world/universe, this world still is your usual human only world (there are races like Asian, African, etc, even if this isn't our world, but for simplicity sake we'll just say those terms actually exist in this world too)
The world is like a fusion between the 1960s "Disco" era and the 1980s era of fashion, but in Martinaise that isn't as prevalent (unless your character still holds out hope for a better life again). With regards to the city itself, as the name Revachol suggests, this is basically like a French city, in a different universe.
Any "normal" job you can think of existing between the 1960s-1980s in our world exists in Revachol as well, but in Martinaise (as the harbour neighbourhood) the most common is fisherman/dockworker (hence the Dockworker's Union "controlling" this neighbourhood like the mafia)

Rules
-Since this is a potential LSS Registered Ship, all LSS rules apply to this SB (we don't wish to become a Pirate vessel, but yeah)
-Where you can, please try and invent unique ways to "curse". We don't want to bump up the age rating just so people can curse.
-Don't ever harm another user character without discussing with them first. The Pale may be causing us to act weird, but don't go psycho on someone else's fun please.
