October 29th, 1929.
This was the day that struck the world of those who knew it, and threw it to the ground.
Some say they saw it coming, and some just clearly didn't.
Those who saw it coming, barely scraped by it with the skin of their teeth, and were happy to keep it that way.
The Great Depression stole the ground out from underneath North America's feet; the powerhouse brought down to it's knees, and it's people, the foundation, down with it. Only those who ran up in the "head" of the nation were able to keep from drowning in the collar-high tides that kept dragging people down.
What's worse, is that in the midst of this, a terrible outbreak is sweeping the homes and the streets of the cities of North America; Plague has struck the world once again at a mass mediated level, hitting at one of the hardest times in recorded history.
But drowning men will push even their own children under the water for a split second of air, and all clarity often drowns out with them. A drowning man is a desperate one, and will do anything to claw his way back up, if only just to breathe one second longer.
Two Thirds; From 1929
A historical fiction role-play
A city divided, Jersey City is bustling with the rich and the more prominent amount of poor; Even in the wealthiest of Cities involved, the slums stretch on for miles, invading even central park, safely tucked out of view to those who are better off. Unlike the bureaucratic offices though, the plague does not discriminate between the rich and the poor, and no one it seems, is safe from it's influence.

Throw Me In The Ring
In the underground rings, they throw off the gloves. The sponsor of the match decides the rules, and even then, you're lucky to have them followed.
From here we start- Just one year after the Market Crash, thousands already dead and even more still on the way due to the disease wreaking havoc on the populace, we are already far into the mayhem of what those living will call: The Great Depression.
