Welcome to hell.
The land is in chaos, but that's business as usual. Hell is a big place, fit to accommodating the trillions of demons born everyday, be it extracted from the sins of the dead or simply brought to existence by an ideal. Despite the vastness of hell however, you find yourself in a place known as "Vice City". Yes a very uncreative name, you wouldn't be the first to call it something more impressive. But the fact is there are many people like you who think they could do better. They're currently fighting it out in Vice City, fighting just to change it's name.
While battles are easy to find in Vice City it's also the home of many forms of pleasure, both carnal and recreational. Despite being demons you're still as susceptible to the power of cocaine, marijuana, pcp, and the like. Bullets are pretty good at killing you too, just like getting bashed in the head with rocks. Sure some things are harder to hurt you with others, but the fact stands: You will die. And you will come back.
See, death in hell isn't permanent. Painful, but not permanent. Depending on how you die depends on what happens really. Get stabbed to death? In a couple of minutes you'll be back and sore. Get eaten alive? You'll resurrect from the shit. If you're really lucky you'll just be obliterated out right, a fairly common occurrence what with the random hellfire that springs up. Then you just spawn somewhere near by. It's a fact of life. Everyone dies at some point. How else did you get here?
Now then, for most of the newcomers they show up around what's called "Heaven's Peak". It's actually a big hole in the ground that is constantly spewing hellfire. Yes the name's a mockery. Point is that newbies who die at Heaven's Peak respawn in Heaven's Peak, and you aren't really "born" until you can avoid being incinerated. Easier said then done. Imagine cooking a bag or pan of popcorn kernels. Each time a kernal pops, it creates a thing of hellfire, than vanishes and becomes a kernel again. Now imagine that you've been cooking that pad or bag for about five minutes, and that would be more or less how often hellfire occurs. It ain't easy in hell. It's not suppose to be.
For everyone else there's other places you could be at. There are a bunch of clubs and dens, some which you may own, others which are about to be taken over by force. One of the more popular places is a strip club/bar/whore house/flight club/drug den/hive of scum and villainy known as The Anal Angel. Damn thing takes up at least 7% of the entire Vice City, and Vice City is about as big as Rhode Island. So you do the math. Big place, lots of different buildings of different quality. Obviously the top bosses get the good stuff; sensual succubi, real world alcohol and narcotics, and the most prizes possession of all: Humans. Yes, humans are one of the rarest and most valuable commodity in Hell. No matter what your archtype humans are essentially the best thing to have in hell. They normally don't last long since most demons tear them apart just to get a taste of that mortal fiber.
As far as currency goes it's in flux. There are three in particular: Bullets, Gold, and Fangs. Bullets are one of the more practical and common currency. You can trade in the shells of course, but most people would offer more for unspent bullets. And whether you are using a 9mm or .45-70 to a 12 gauge and a grenade, what matters is quantity, not quality. Gold comes in many forms, most can press them into coins but don't be surprised if someone just gives you a pebble made of the stuff. Gold of course is found underground, so most demons are diggers who try to find them in the constantly shifting ground. Only trouble is that gold on the surface of hell tends to attract hellfire, so special containers are needed to keep them protected and hidden from hell's natural tendency. Aside from that gold is is a barter currency, and it's value is mostly based on the unspoken quality between buyer and seller. Fangs are Fangs; fangs from small demons or big demons. They have to be pronounced, pointy, and sharp. Smaller fangs from smaller creatures might work, but generally your average flat teeth won't cut it. Indeed, even if you have a mouth full of canniness there's an underlining quality check to ensure that you're actually provide real fangs and not someone's dentures. Fangs are somewhat considered higher currency since it's implied you had to rip them out of the maw of someone else, but of course this just gives other demons all the more reason to mutilate your corpse to steal your teeth. They also eventually rot regardless of how careful you try to preserve them, and could easily be incinerated by hellfire.
So yeah, that's basically what you could know "On the streets". Now let's see what the average day of a demon is like.
