Origins

Blackridge has always been a city with a pulse of its own—steady, strange, and older than the people who walk its streets. Long before the nightclub existed, long before the fractures between these characters formed, something ancient settled beneath the city’s foundations. Most people never felt it. A few did. And those few learned to keep their distance from the places where the air felt too still, where shadows stretched a little too far, where the world seemed thinner than it should be.
Now, that old presence is stirring again, and the first signs are subtle: a shift in behavior, a memory resurfacing at the wrong moment, a sense of being watched when no one is there. The past isn’t just returning—it’s pushing through.

Urban Shadows

Blackridge isn’t just a city with a strange pulse—it’s a territory divided. Beneath the everyday noise, several supernatural clans move through the streets, each with their own rules, histories, and grudges. Most people never notice them. They blend in, keep their heads down, and follow the old agreements that have kept the peace for decades. But those agreements are starting to crack.

Some clans sense the breach widening and are preparing for what’s coming. Others deny it, clinging to the belief that the old ways will hold. And a few—restless, angry, or desperate—see the chaos as an opportunity to rise. Their movements ripple through the city in subtle ways: strange gatherings after dark, symbols appearing where they shouldn’t, and whispers of alliances forming in places long considered neutral.

As the supernatural pressure builds, the clans begin to collide in ways they’ve avoided for years. Old rivalries flare. Boundaries shift. And the fragile balance that once kept Blackridge safe starts to collapse. The shadows aren’t just lengthening—they’re choosing sides.

Rising Conflict

As the boundaries between worlds thin, the people connected to The Black Phoenix find themselves caught in a tightening web. Strange encounters escalate into dangerous events. The supernatural presence pushing into Blackridge isn’t just observing—it’s choosing. Testing. Claiming.
Each character faces a reckoning with the choices they’ve buried, the guilt they’ve carried, and the truths they’ve refused to face. The threat isn’t a monster in the dark—it’s the consequences they thought they escaped, now given form and hunger.
If they can’t confront what’s rising inside them, they won’t stand a chance against what’s rising around them. And when the final breach hits, Blackridge will either rise from the fire—or burn in it.

The Breach

The breach in Blackridge doesn’t begin with monsters or storms—it begins with the boys who never made it home. Their disappearances were written off, forgotten by some, whispered about by others, but the truth is far stranger: they never fully left. Something in the city held them, caught between worlds, unable to move on and unable to be heard.

Now, as the boundaries thin, their presence grows harder to ignore. Flickers in the corner of the eye. Voices that sound like memory. Cold spots in familiar rooms. The boys are trying to reach out, not to haunt the living, but to warn them. They’ve seen what’s coming. They’ve felt it pressing in from the other side.

The breach widens through their unfinished stories, their fear, their anger, and the injustice that bound them here. And as the force behind their entrapment pushes closer to the surface, Blackridge begins to unravel. The Black Phoenix becomes the gathering point for every echo, every warning, every plea for release.

If the truth about the boys stays buried, the city won’t survive what’s trying to break through. Their voices are the key—if anyone is willing to listen before the fire spreads.
