Hey everyone. It's been lowkey hectic the last few days, but I'm hoping to have the first post go live at some point in the near future (i.e. next 24 hours). To answer a few questions, I'd like to keep things constrained to the three main groups: Sk8te, Heirs, and Creds. That being said, Sk8te is a cabal organization. There are multiple 'factions' of Sk8te within the Megacity, and they each have their own ideologies and principles. They just all refer to themselves as Sk8te like an umbrella term. As for the suggestion of 'Fingers', you can work that into a Cred or a Sk8te member without too much difficultly. I have no problem with more thief-esque characters in any of the main groups, but as stated above, I'm trying to keep things simple for the sake of my own sanity at the moment. 

And for the pronunciation question, Sk8te is pronounced just like 'Skate'. The only difference being that I wanted the 8 to be more like a mobius strip, but you can't stylize text on a forum website so... I'm just screwed on that front.
