Hello there!!! I REALLY love this au!!!,And I have a few questions (if you don't mind me asking)
1. (Creator) Do you accept OC's???
2. (Any character) How is life on the yokai side of NY...it is like Arcane the lanes or just NY only poor?
3. (Raph) How is life for humans...like what does it look like at the human side of NY?
Anyhow these are all my questions, I hope you have a good day/night
Hi! Since one's directed specifically to me, Raph can answer this one! (kinda confused about the first one tho, dunno what that means)
Depends on where you live, really. All yokai are shoved onto long island if they're from New York as in the state, so you got three choices: Brooklyn, Queens, or behind the wall. Brooklyn is probably your best bet if you're yokai. It's a lot better kept since Big Mama owns it and with the whole deal thing, Big Mama has a pretty good deal goin' for us. It's not like Staten Island or anything, but you do with what you got, y'know? Queens is more like trailer park/ factory workers. They're full of the factories and stuff that the humans employ yokai for so they don't have to, so production stuff like fabrics and other things that require a lot of manual labor besides energy and stuff, so it's a lil rough and tumble but not too much worse than Brooklyn. As for behind the wall, well... Behind the wall from what I've heard is cramped. Alexandri and Burkhart constantly complain about the lack of airspace. Alex also said somethin' about how it could be equated to Bronx for humans, but probably way worse so I'd assume its the worst of the three. Never seen behind the wall myself since that thing's been up since before Raph can remember and it reaches pretty high. Been to Bronx a couple times though, even with the bros before... y'know. The whole PBH thing, so...
As for the human side, well they got three options too. April knows the most about Bronx since she lived there before escapin', but essentially Bronx is where the lowest class humans live. Its cramped, dirty, and mostly full of factories like Queens. It's also where the shadiest of humans are and where Big Mama does her darkest deals. Then you have Manhattan where the nicer places are. Working class folk. Pops used to say the reason most of the deals happen in Manhattan is cuz there are plenty of underground markets that form cuz of how much more time they have compared to Bronx peeps. And then there's Staten. Staten Island is probably the most bougie place in New York City. Rich people live there, government officials and the like. The people who make the big bucks like company owners. It's where PBH is, and apparently there are three different facilities. Safe to say, As long as you're human, white, and live in either Manhattan or Staten Island, you're livin' at least comfy.
(OOC: Hiya! Id like to express that any questions directed at me, Alex, about the au itself and not a direct question for in character responses be directed to my main blog @alexthenerdbird as that is where I'd prefer them! I don't mind multiple asks in my askbox so don't feel obligated to fit all your questions into one ask so answers don't get all muddy via too many various questions in one! Not mad, just for future reference! to answer the first one, I don't mind ocs be created to be in the dystopia au, however there is no guarantee they'll be featured in this blog or in the story itself if that's why you're asking. If its just to create an oc for your own personal ideas inspired by the UPRISING story, then by all means go ahead! you can even tag my main blog to show me if you'd like!)
