Gangs in Hathian

In Hathian, gangs are not just background noise. They are the heartbeat of the streets. From alley fights to turf wars, from tagging walls to running rackets, these factions shape the rhythm of daily life. Whether you’re building your reputation or defending your block, everything you do leaves a mark.

Street Justice and the Law

The core tension in Hathian lives in the power struggle between street gangs and the justice system. This city thrives on conflict. The law tries to keep order, but its grip is weak. Corruption, violence, and fear have carved deep scars into the pavement.

• Police Presence: Officers walk the streets, but so do dirty cops, informants, and the ghosts of failed cases. It is not black and white out here.
• Factions Run Deep: Gangs are more than criminal crews. They are families, legacies, and sometimes the only protection a person can find.
• Story Comes First: Whether you’re a corner lookout or a gang leader, your story is what drives this world. Conflict, arrests, deals, and betrayal all feed the shared narrative.

Claiming Territory

Hathian uses a unique Territory and Graffiti System that turns faction control into something you can see, feel, and fight for. It is not about paperwork. It is about presence. You earn your turf with your time and your roleplay.

• Influence is Earned: Spend time roleplaying in a zone to build your control. Let it go quiet, and rivals will move in.
• Live Turf Updates: The system tracks real activity and updates the map in real time to reflect who truly runs each area.
• Street Cred, Not Claims: Talking about control is one thing. Holding it, tagging it, and fighting for it is what counts.

Marking the Streets

Your tag is your signal. It is a warning, a challenge, and a declaration of power. Use spray cans found throughout the city to tag walls, dumpsters, alleyways, and storefronts. But be ready. Your mark can be covered. And that means war.

• Tag With Purpose: To place a tag, your gang must be active in the area. Empty claims are wiped quickly.
• Erase and Respond: Rival tags can be removed, but that act will not go unnoticed. Retaliation is part of the game.

Persistence and Payoff

• Hold Your Ground: The longer your crew controls an area, the stronger your grip becomes. Keep showing up or prepare to lose it.
• Roleplay Drives Power: System tracking rewards consistent activity, meaningful conflict, and ongoing storylines.
• Visible Impact: Everything your gang does builds reputation. Win fights, hold turf, create scenes. The city responds.

Requirements to Propose a Gang

• At least 3 completed roleplay chapters tied to your group
• A clear identity, purpose, and gang mark (spray, tag, or symbol)
• Minimum of 3 active players committed to leadership and story progression

There is no shortcut to control. If you want the city to remember your name, earn it. One mark at a time.
