FOUNDING FAMILIES

volk city, alaska it appears just any other american city. but the people here are very different. things aren't run the way they should be; with justice and dignity. instead people remain silent in fear they will be the next ones to disappear off the face of the planet. where no one will dare look for them or utter their name. don't ask anyone why, it's always been like this. no one has the answers. that is, unless you're one of them.

they are the eyes you feel behind you when you're alone, the shiver down your spine and the things that go bump in the night. the supernatural, werewolves specifically, have reign over the city since its first few breaths of life. they have kept control of its people and businesses for hundreds of years without humans knowing-- that is until now. a new werewolf pack has arrived, spilling blood and making claims wherever their feet land. tensions rise amongst the feuding werewolf packs as those in the middle get caught in the cross fires. it's time to choose your allies, but choose them wisely. siding with the wrong people could make it the last choice you ever make.

The tyrants of Volk City, this family has been rooted within the city since its first breaths of life after they left their ancestry behind in Russia. Possessed of a peculiar nobility, this order rejects all things human. The Krosa have a tightly knit political structure based on the acquisition of power, as well as a fanatical group loyalty, practically untouched by any other. So fiercely loyal that they will easily follow any order given to them by their King; even an order of death.

Trafficking in world finance has given them almost sickening wealth and power and great influence over its people. The Krosa are old blood and possess even older sets of morals. The Krosa King is a very well known figure in the public eye as a well talked about politician; his family is also in the public eye given they are in fact the founding family of the city along with the elders. Most members of Krosa are of a high social and wealth status.

Krosa is a name with much more weight than any in the Athenian circles; centuries of powerful men come from this particular line[ of immortals and they are as well known for their 'clean' or pure-blooded breeding; Krosa will not romantically associate themselves with humans and often females are forced into arranged marriages thus picked by their fathers. A certain ideal is to be had in the Krosa, one of which the men are seen as the dominant force, yet although the woman blindly follow their chosen mates they as well are not ones to be taken easily. Royal Krosa as current king has his personal feelings in the matter when it comes to Athenians; viewing them as inbred mutts who need to be dealt with.

In the mid 1700's when the family migrated to North America and the area - set out to build the settlement of volk (later volk city); their own personal little joke to name the place after 'wolf'. Soon more members of the family began to come over as well others choosing to stay in their country of origin. Around the same time a small group of people would seek refuge in the town and beg for protection; it would be granted as such indebting the clan of people to the Krosa family and to this very day this agreement is still in effect.
