Bunch of Rag Tag Bastards
The year is 1863, and the Civil War rages on in America. You live in Five Points, Manhattan. A muddy, diseased, crime-ridden, piss poor neighborhood in New York City. Violence is a staple of daily life, with murders happening almost every day. There are many factions struggling for control of Five Points, so who do you fight for?
Factions
The Dead Rabbits
A nasty gang of Irish-American immigrants, who murder, rob, and beat up whoever they please, and are at constant war with the Bowery Boys.
The Bowery Boys
A gang of white nativists who despise Irish immigrants, and are at constant war with the Dead Rabbits because of this. They do not usually resort to murder, but have no qualms with assault, extortion, and rigging elections for corrupt politicians in exchange for political favoritism and for the city to turn a blind eye to their operations. They usually dress in cheap suits and stovepipe hats.
6th Precinct, New York City Police
The only semblance of order in Five Points, the 6th Precinct is locked in a daily struggle to both keep its officers alive and the innocent citizens of Five Points safe. Violence is commonplace between gang members and police officers, who are more or less a gang of their own.
