this is our story
A N D W E O W N T H E S T R E E T S
It's Romeo and Juliet all over again.
The Sharks and the Jets are two feuding street gangs in
modern day New York. The Jets are white kids, deemed
hooligans by the rest of society, with no where to go. They've
lived in New York all their lives with junkies for parents and
rooftops over their heads that should have crumbled in long
ago. The Sharks are a band of Puerto Ricans recently moved
to America in search of a better life. They don't have much
money and rely off some odds and end jobs and a dress shop
to sustain them,and haven't exactly made nice with their
new neighbors who want them out of their country.
The streets are suddenly filled with prejudice and hate. Gang
territory becomes marked and scared. Brawls break out,
guns fire in the night, strict lines and rules are set in stone.
Enemies have been made. The violence is merciless and
there is no telling who will get caught in the crossfire. Some
are all for it, some want nothing to do with it, but it's happening
anyway. No one can stop it. So what happens when the bound-
aries are stretched? Rules are broken?
A Jet has just killed a Shark. A few of the guys got into a fight
that turned violent in seconds. To keep his friend from being
bludgeoned to death, a Jet pulled a gun on a Shark and killed him
in cold blood. Turmoil has risen to a tipping point now. With a body
already in the war grounds, the hatred is only rising. The Sharks want
revenge over their fallen man. The Jets say this is the first body of many
if the Sharks don't give in.
And what's worse? Not long after this, a Jet will fall in love with
a Shark. The sister of the leader of the Sharks, no less. It will
happen at a dance, innocently enough, and will blossom into
something they both need. They will rise above the hate. Try
to elude it. But how long can they keep it a secret? Someone is
bound to find out and tell. And when they do, all hell will break
loose. Everyone will be affected.Relationships will tear, values
will be reassessed, the bonds that are supposed to go deeper than
blood will start to break apart.There will be no morals, no mercy.
Blood will be spilled, love will take a whole new meaning.
OUR WEST SIDE STORY is an advanced role playing site
based of the 1961 film adaptation of West Side Story, with a few twists
of course. We are starting off just before the meeting of the star
crossed lovers and then having our way with the plot as the site
evolves and our writers brainstorm. Anything is game, nothing off
limits.
