So here's the story of how Altosk came to be...
Once upon a time, in a CityRPG owned by bbs, using a variant of /Ty's mod, there was a house on the hill. Living in that house, was a man so filled with angst, he decided that it'd be a marvelous idea to take out his wrath upon the city. He recruited others, although I am not sure of their names now, I believe that there were three that followed, two men and one woman. They did everything that their leader, now going by the name of Well_Hello, told them. If they had no tasks pending, they would simply make living so much more harder within the city walls. Finally, two migrants show up to the city, abandoning their old home that fell to ruin over in a city ruled by a PsP. Their names were "Rigel" and "luie".
As with every city they travel to, luie makes a small store, selling food and guns alike, as Rigel made a small house with a fairly large basement for stockpiling the less-than-legal substances they enjoyed. As soon as the store was built, and the house still under construction, Well_Hello decided that the two newcomers deserve a welcoming party. Well_Hello came with two of his lackeys, and proceeded to attack the store while luie was showing Rigel his room in the basement. luie, being a shop keeper, had no weapons, and Rigel was but a recruit into the police task force.
They were no match for Well_Hello's automatic weaponry.
After being hospitalized for some time, another friend of theirs, and Rigel's partner in the PsPPD, a man named "Cloudovpein" came to the city to try and strike it rich within the 128x64 walls. It was then, that it was decided between luie and Rigel that someone had to stop Well_Hello's climb into power. By the time that they knew that Cloud was in the city, they also discovered that he had taken to working for Well_Hello. Rigel decided that they would need to make a gang of sorts, a rebel group to oppose the madness that had taken over the city. With luie's anime game obsession phase in play, he decided on the name "Altosk", it was the name of some guild within the game that he played recently, and Rigel decided that it was a pretty loving good name, and so "Altosk" became the official name of the gang.
After forfeiting his job at the police station, Rigel took to drug selling. He bought plenty of Salvia plants and made a killing from selling it all. Over time, he learned the secrets of the drug trade, and how it coincided with the economy, but everyone was stuck in their latest belief and was making less money because of it. More friends and enemies were made in the city, some joining Altosk, others joining Well_Hello's gang, the "Sun on Yee" Firefights were a common sight between the two gangs, and Cloudovpein joined his friend's plight, becoming an official member of Altosk. It wasn't until Rigel managed to convince a member of the Sun on Yee to betray them, setting fire to their drug farms and joining Altosk, that they were able to make progress in the city.
