Admin's note: We have no site wide plot, we're a character driven one instead! Here's the town's history so you know what you're getting into!
Once you get in…there’s no getting out…
Beware
It all started with a man. People who didn’t know him would say he was kind, and people who did would laugh at that assumption. In the end, the only clear thing anyone could say he was, was curious. And, quite possibly, insane. The man in question was named Xavier Blake. And it is because of him that any of us is here.
Wanna know the background? Well I’ll give it to ya. My parents were one of the first patients here, and I am one of the few actually born here. So I’m pretty sure I know the place pretty well! I’ll try to keep it short and sweet, but there’s a lot of background to cover.
The first thing you should know about Old Man Blake was that he was a witch, top of the line too. It was said that he was the best, and no one challenged the title because, quite seriously, they were all scared to. Blake was banished from the community of the supernatural for illegal experimentation…and because he was a sadist. The Council didn't approve. I guess I should say here that the Council is a bunch of high up Supernaturals that make rules and keep an eye on the rest of us Supernaturals. Mostly its about keeping the secret. No one wants the Humans to know bout us just yet.
So he left…and settled down in a human town that was very much so on its own. And he fell in love, or so the story goes. Me? I don’t think he was capable of it. Anyways, I digress. Back to the point.
He had his first baby girl. Vira. And it was then that his old habits found their way to the surface again. He began to experiment on her again. Two years later Sera was born. And soon after, the next two daughters, the twins, found their way to the world. The girls’ mother died in childbirth with the twins. Or at least…that’s the official story. See, I think the lady finally had enough with what Xavier was doing to Vira, and none of the other girls, and she finally snapped. Finally told him off and he couldn’t take it. So he got rid of her so that no one would challenge him.
See, Old Man Blake liked control too. Oh did he ever like control. So he took it.
He wanted the city.
So the first thing he did was petition the council. See, Vira was totally mental by this point, like out of her mind, but I guess that’s what happens when your daddy forces Death Angel genes into you. And no one could know the state that the other daughters were in. He petitioned them for the city. His logic? He needed a safe place where Vira could grow up and where she could exist without harming anyone. And he offered to take in other supernaturals that were mentally unstable. The Council didn’t see anything wrong with this…in fact they thought it was a good idea. They wanted to protect their secret, so often times, mentally unstable supernaturals were exterminated. This way, they could live in relative normalcy in a town situation. The town’s original inhabitants were evacuated, but those that refused to leave…well they were allowed to stay, though they’d soon wish they’d left. The Council figured someone should be there for the sake of the vamps I guess.
Anyway, once the patients got in, they couldn’t leave. The town was wiped off the map, and a border was erected around it by the Witchies to keep the unwanted out. And keep everyone else who was brought in, in.
Nulls were brought in as Wardens, and things ran smoothly. Xavier always left to make sure that the nutties coming in were actually mental, so that no sane didn’t make it in on accident. Each patient is given a weekend a month for visitors, but other then that…there’s no interaction with the outside world.
Xavier really took his time to make this place great so no one would take it away from him. He brought in the best shrinks money could buy, brought in Fosters to care for the younger patients...had group sessions and private sessions, good medication. Make no mistake, this place may seem like a normal town...but no one in here is normal. Everyone's at least a little bit insane. I mean, yeah, we're divided into houses so that way no one too crazy gets in with anyone too sane. Xavier learned his lesson with that one. That's why he built the Asylum for the really crazy ones, for the ones that needed serious help and couldn't interact with others safely. He really started doing some good, though his daughters would disagree...
Then he died.
It was sudden, and he didn’t name a new heir, a new mayor for the town. Instead, he divided the town into four sectors and gave one to each daughter. And that’s where things went…wrong. The girls either fought over control, or sat back and watched the others fight depending on their mood. And none of them would leave to check on whether the patient was actually crazy, they didn’t want their sisters taking over their district. So actually sane people started coming in, as long as someone claimed they were insane. Humans who accidently wandered into the town border, usually nulls who didn’t feel the border, were kept in the town and treated like patients…rather then being mind wiped and sent away as they should have been.
The sisters realized their mistake, and decided to turn it into a real town, but what to do with the crazies that were already here? They kept them. And to make sure the secret didn't get out, anyone who entered Black Springs was stuck here with the crazy Death Angels, Witches, Vampires and Werecats. Its a crazy life, but hey, at least you're alive. Follow the rules...and no one will get hurt.
Stay tuned freaks and nutters, I promise to keep you updated
