Rain slicks the cobblestones of New York, 1945, catching the sickly amber glow of streetlamps. A mournful jazz trumpet wails from a hidden club, its melody tangled with the low growl of a black sedan idling in the alley. Shadows shift with fur and the brims of fedoras—lions, wolves, foxes, dragons, each a piece on the city's bloody chessboard. Four syndicates rule everything: The Gold Pride, The Grey Claw, The Red Tails, The Jade Scale. You step into this world, an unknown variable. What role will you carve from this concrete jungle, you? Describe your character before the first move is made.
