West

The western part of the city is often home to the poorer residents. Here there is a grunginess that permeates the town from the graffiti on the once cleaned brick buildings to the broken and unmaintained architecture. Crime runs high within the western half of town, making it the home of supernatural gangs of illicit activities. Such activities are rarely reported, however, and most residents are distrustful of individual's of authorities, and often let the powerful supernatural beings sort things out amongst themselves. Be careful wandering the Western streets after the sun falls.

Black Market

Just like any city - Sacrosanct is not without it's deep, dark underbelly. Hidden in the graffiti-ridden streets of the West, behind closed warehouse doors, lies the Black Market. Forever moving, it's nearly impossible to find without knowing someone who knows someone. Anything you desire can be brought for a hefty price within the Black Market - be it drugs, weapons, or lives.

What You'll Find Here

Edge of the Circle

Cull & Pistol

Hidden within the dark alleyways of the Western Ward, Cull & Pistol is a dim, often smoky bar. With a small variety of bottled and craft beers, Cull & Pistol is a quaint little neighborhood joint. With its no-frills moto, the dingy bar offers little more than liquor, music from an old jukebox, and a few frequently occupied pool tables.

Bartender Raylin Chike

Noah's Ark

Resting upon the harbor, Noah's Ark (known simply as The Ark) is a sleek superyacht known both for its fight rings and recent...renovations, of sorts. Accessible from an entrance hidden in the shadows, The Ark is a veritable Were-playground that specializes in fighting tournaments for all creatures great and small. With both singles and doubles tournaments to compete in, the title of Ark Champion is hotly contested amongst the Were population. If anything illegal is going on in the city it's sure to be happening within the back rooms or behind the ring-side bar. Note: This is a Were only establishment. All other species will be swiftly escorted out.

Syn

Within the turbulent industrial district lies this club. The warehouse doesn't look like much on the outside but it provides a memorable experience from the state of the art lighting, offbeat Victorian-inspired artwork, comfortable black leather lounges, and the infamous 'black light' room. There is a wide variety of alcohol that lines the shelves of both of the magical and ordinary variety. It is a common stomping ground for the supernatural who want to let loose and dance the night away to the music that floods the establishment. Humans are most welcome if they dare.

The Past Is Real...

Robin Hood. He couldn't help but chuckle a little to himself hearing that. He wished he was a WereFox, but he knew that it was simply fate that had made him what he was.
Walking into the bar with Kat, he looked around and chuckled.
He was having more flashbacks of walking to cozy little bars in the run-down parts of town.
He couldn't help but laugh to himself, and sit down beside Kat once they were inside and she had seated herself.
Donovan would of been a gentleman, but not every woman was keen on chivalry.

After he was seated, he had to mull over her question. Think about how he would of responded, without sounding too much like a rude and well, abrasive person.
This lady was seeming to take an interest in him, and he wasn't complaining. Lazarus and Elain would be proud of him for actually making an acquaintance, since he was more of the anti-social type. And not to mention, a touch violent and dark.
These things made people shy away, not to mention his vast amounts of tattoo work and his rugged face.

"Elain isn't my blood sister... She's my best friends sister. His name is Lazarus. You won't catch either of those two mugging. I live with them since my family disowned me...."
He explained, as he asked the barkeep for some rum and cola. He would seem lost in thought with things, as he saw his drink be placed on the wood of the table.
He nodded in thanks, and took a small sip to sample.
It was perfectly balanced to his liking.

"Not sure what Lazarus does, and I'm sure Elain is doing something with healing people... Since that's her thing... I just kinda roam. It's what I've always done since I was young. Streets were all I knew. Not many kids could say they were raised by the streets in a literal fashion.
But I was... And it was all because of that fateful day at the Zoo...."
Donovan would deeply growl, and it would mimic the exact vibrato and tone of an angry Cheetah.
Taking another sip of his drink, he took a deep breath and exhaled loudly. He wasn't used to being transparent with people, but he knew there was a time and a place for things. And this was the time and place.
"A cheetah had escaped from one of the exhibits in the zoo. Security and trainers were chasing him through crowds of screaming and terrified faces. I was coming back from the water fountain, when he saw me.
That yellow and black spotted creature hissed violently at me, and made a mad dash in my direction."

The scene played out like a film in his head, as he did his best to keep from showing an sort of emotion on his face.
"People were yelling at me to run, but I didn't. I stood in terror. He flew by me and took a large bite into my arm..."
Donovan said this, as he lifted his left arm, and near his wrist were the scars of the teeth that sunk into him. The marks were visibly clear, even with the delicate pattern of the tattoos on his arm.
"They gave me a shot and wrapped me up when they took me to the hospital. But it wasn't till a day later, that I started sweating on my way home from football practice.
My heart was racing, and my senses seemed heightened. I, smelled things I shouldn't of been able to...
I walked into my home, and my parents asked if I was okay... I couldn't respond. I dropped my bag and they witnessed me transform into a Cheetah. Turns out that bastard who bit me was a Were himself."

Donovan drew a deep and heavy sigh. He had not ever told a stranger that story before. He felt slightly violated and vulnerable.
He wasn't used to this feeling, and it made him slightly sick.
"So there you go... I'm no Robin Hood... I just take from where I need to, because I can't rely on the other two I live with to take care of me all the time...
Hence why I dropped my morales for one day. But I'm actually glad you stopped me...
I'd probably be worse off if you didn't.."
