Your Furry story starts here- where everything has a price. Welcome to Northwick.
About
The city of Northwick never truly sleeps. Neon signs paint rain-soaked streets in shifting colors while fortunes are made, stolen, and buried before sunrise. On the surface it's a thriving metropolis of luxury apartments, bustling nightlife, and ambitious corporations. Beneath that polished veneer lies a city divided by three criminal empires, each determined to shape Northwick in their own image. The Vipers rule through precision. Smuggling, information brokering, extortion, and political influence are their specialties. They prefer calculated moves over reckless violence, believing secrets are worth more than bullets. The Iron Dogs control the city's muscle. Their territory stretches across factories, shipping yards, underground fight clubs, and protection rackets. Loyalty is everything, and betrayal is met with swift, public consequences. The Stargraze wear elegance like armor. Owners of upscale clubs, casinos, luxury hotels, and legitimate businesses, they've mastered the art of hiding organized crime behind expensive suits and impeccable manners. They host galas one night and negotiate assassinations the next. No border is ever truly safe. Turf disputes flare into gunfights. Alliances form and shatter overnight. Independent mercenaries, detectives, corrupt officials, reporters, and ordinary citizens all find themselves caught between the city's three giants. Some choose a side. Others try to profit from the chaos. Whether you're climbing the ranks of a syndicate, running a business that serves the underworld, hunting those responsible for your past, or simply trying to survive, every decision leaves a mark. Reputation spreads quickly. Friends become enemies. Rivals become uneasy allies. Trust is the rarest currency in Northwick. The city is yours to explore. Build alliances, make enemies, uncover conspiracies, negotiate peace, ignite wars, or carve out a criminal empire of your own. In Northwick, everyone has an ambition- and everyone has a price. The Stargraze control the money. The Vipers control the information. The Iron Dogs control the streets. There are no humans, only Anthros.

Sourcebook
Intro
Northwick was the kind of city that always had something to hide.
Towering glass buildings overlooked aging brick neighborhoods, luxury penthouses cast shadows over abandoned warehouses, and every street seemed to lead somewhere different after dark. To outsiders, it was simply another sprawling metropolis; busy, ambitious, and alive around the clock.
The Anthros who lived there knew better.
Beneath the city's polished exterior, three criminal syndicates held Northwick in a fragile balance. The Stargraze built their empire through wealth, influence, and carefully maintained respectability. The Vipers thrived in whispers, secrets, and information that could ruin lives with a single phone call. The Iron Dogs commanded the streets, the docks, and the city's labor with unshakable loyalty and overwhelming force.
No one truly ruled Northwick.
Every deal, every favor, and every bullet shifted the balance just enough to keep the city from tipping into open war.
For now.
Whether you were a seasoned criminal, an ambitious newcomer, a detective chasing impossible cases, a business owner trying to survive, or simply someone unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, Northwick had a habit of pulling people deeper than they ever intended.
The city didn't care who you were.
It only cared what you were willing to do.
And somewhere between the neon lights, rain-soaked streets, and the countless secrets buried beneath the skyline...
Your story begins.
