Notice to all patrons of the City of Una Negra and its subsidiary channels (#Paradise_Blues, #The_JaelHouse). This web page is now open for limited use. Many areas are still under development and are not yet available. Therefore, we ask that all earth shattering plots and destructions be put on hold for a bit longer. The city itself is reopened for the most part, so feel free to use it within reason. The Web and Channel Management ask this of the players and patrons because, quite simply, the city is getting over-hauled and is not the same as it used to be. Somethings no longer exist. Somethings have been renovated. Some have stayed the same. Quite simply, any plots would make our job 10x harder as we would have to redo and undo what work as already been accomplished. Getting the city completely updated and up for everyone to read and get reaquainted with is our top priority, with the council rules to follow soon after.
Una Negra is a city of rebirth and endings. A cold wind chills its inhabitants at
night, no matter how warmly the sun shines during the day. Creatures of all paths
are drawn to the city, due to its long heritage. Vampires control much of the city,
as they normally do, but share their control and alliances with powerful mages that
have been around since the city's rebirth. Garou patrol the wilderness that surrounds
the city, making them a strong element in the mix. Then there are the others, mixing
and mingling, creating their own plans.
Beyond the world you see, beyond all that you know, is a darker shadowy world running
hidden behind the mundane world. Like a secret undercurrent in the river of life, the
Awakened gather. Beings of strange and dangerous occult natures fight behind the
darkening and changing world, in conflict with sides of these secret cultures, in
conflict within their own societies, and in conflict within themselves over their
own nature. The world is a modern scientific one now, and few beyond the Awakened
believe the supernatural could exist. Discovery by humanity could mean death or
worse, and the Awakened keep to strict codes of their own design that they themselves
cannot break. Striving to enlightenment, fighting against forces beyond our world
and those of our world who wish only oblivion on this world, the Awakened have few
places to turn to get away from the ever-present conflict and turmoil.
Existing in the city are few bastions of neutrality, but they do exist.
Two of these such locations enjoy being totally neutral to all awakened. Paradise Blues Bar and Grill and The Jael House are both owned and operated by awakened members of the city, and are neutral meeting grounds for all awakened kind in the city.
Please bear with us as we make these updates and overhauls, and please keep up the roleplay in those other channels until we get the City back up and running. Thank you for your paitence.

Greetings to all, and welcome to Una Negra, a small isolated city about 5 hours
north of San Francisco. The city is one of mystery, one that is cloaked in the
shadows of its past, and one that hides many secrets. For those denizens of the
World of Darkness who call Una Negra home, it is a city both of danger and of peace.
Both #Paradise_Blues and #Shamus&Shaman are free-form role playing channels on IRC based on The World of Darkness games by WhiteWolf. The majority of the characters people choose to play are either Garou (werewolves) or one of the other shifter breeds, Kindred (vampires), Mages, or Changelings. For those of you who are interested in joing the #Paradise_Blues Bar and Grill, all you need to do is download IRC here.
Once you get it setup, just connect to an Undernet server and type /join #Paradise_Blues or /join #Shamus&Shaman. It's as simple as that.
