New York City has been a fairly tame place since the alien invasion was stopped by unknown heroes three years prior. But gang violence is now on the rise as new gangs form and grow on the backstreets, making New York City dangerous once again. 19 year-old Aster Florence is working late at the diner to support herself when they receive an unexpected visit from some criminals looking to steal some easy cash from a low-end restaurant. Who will come to their rescue? This is an oc insert. Aster is my own original character that I have created to be Raphael's love interest. I thought I would be able to foster more in-depth character development in this way.
