29 parts Ongoing MatureAge & setting - modern urban high school / neighbourhood. MC is 18 (keeps it adult-ish for safety) and supports a younger sister (12-14). Meetups are semi-legal local gatherings tied to gang crews, but the story focuses on social/psychological stakes as much as physical ones.
Core themes - identity, agency, skill-as-craft, class friction, mentorship vs. exploitation, the line between "being seen" and "being used."
World rules & the "fighting system" (how fights feel)
• Fighting is craft + personality. Techniques get names and flavor, but not rigid "magic" rules.
A fighter's style often reflects their past or personality.
• Talent types exist (speed, power, reading, creativity). People can combine traits; training, creativity, and mental state move the meter.
• Meetups are social events with informal rules (no killing, but severe injuries are accepted). They're how crews assert dominance and recruit.
• There are higher structures above leaders - councils, patron gangs, and underground backrooms that shape wider politics; Eli's long-term arc heads toward those.
