Welcome to Heathens - a supernatural RPG based out of Las Vegas, Nevada. Here you will find trouble and love, deception and defeat. At the hands of government workers many supernatural beings are forced to fight or forced to die following insane experimentation. The 'good guys' aren't all that good and mortals have a hard enough time finding a safe place around here. So question is, what will you do in Vegas that will stay in Vegas?
SETTING
It is August in Las Vegas, Nevada. Temperatures are hot and itchy during the day and cool in the evening.

Here is the main strip right in town. All your gambling needs can be found in this multitude of casinos and hotels. All restaurants, clubs and casinos can be found in this board.
There isn't much green space in Las Vegas so Centennial Park is probably the best you've got. It has a nice walk about area, playgrounds, and a fountain. At night it can be quite dangerous, however, what with police spending most of their time investigating casino crimes.
This is one of the many chapels located on the Vegas strip. Here you can get married by Elvis, Shaq, or whatever other crazy person you want as a minister.
While there are many strip clubs and ladies of the night for hire, heartbreakers is perhaps the most visited of all hotels here on the las vegas strip.
Another big fancy hotel and casino - only this one was a world renowned aquarium attached to it. Come for the night or just visit for the day to watch the sharks swim by.
Test subjects who have past the experimental phase are sent to the combat center for grueling training. Often they are pushed past their limits, to see if they will succeed or die.
Here you will find your kitchen, as with any military base. However, there are things no-so-normal that are prepared on these burners. Blood, human flesh, and all sorts of other oddities are served for those kept locked away.
Bunks are separated into two separate sections. On the base level is housing for employees. Test subjects who are lucky enough to roam "free" stay in the quarters in the basement.
Any other areas can be roleplayed through this board, including the outer bounds of area 51 which are protected by high voltage fencing and snipers ready to take down intruders.
This is where the lockwood family operates out of, welcoming all supernatural creatures under the home. They turn no one away, with the soul expectation they use their abilities for good. This is a neutral ground, a place where supernaturals are safe and can learn to blend in with society. It is a huge mansion-like structure, a fortress, on the outskirts of town.
Way out in the boonies is the warehouse district. Mostly its storage lockers and a few auto businesses, but there is some shady company here too. If you're looking for something on the blackmarket or perhaps a bookie to place a bet for you, this is the place to do it.
While the center of Las Vegas is where everyone wants to stay, these crappy little motels located on the edge of town attract their own business. If you're looking for a cheap place to stay, this may work for you. But beware, the business here is not always friendly.
The mojave desert is a beautiful site for all visitors, filled with rich color and wildlife. Many like to frequent the sand dunes in dune buggies or even wander along the desert foliage. But being in the middle of nowhere, terrible crimes tend to be committed here too.
