Graffiti

the quiet child

you were in your bedroom like usual, laying on your bed with your headphones in, completely minding your own business. your parents had gone out for a while, leaving the house surprisingly quiet at least upstairs. down in the living room, your brother Matthew had some of his friends over. they were all crowded around the TV, yelling at each other while playing video games and laughing so loud that you could hear them through your bedroom door.

Marc echoes getting up

your main goal is to make a name for yourself using graffiti, known as "getting up". Early on in the game you are beat up by rival graffiti crew known as the Vandals of New Radius, or VaNR. Throughout the course of the story you meet different graffiti legends, get revenge on the VaNR, start your own crew called Still Free Crew, and show the public that you are not a "toy" (an inexperienced graffiti writer). You also fight with the Civil Conduct Keepers, a government controlled police force, and soon discover they have been fueling the war between you and the VaNR. In the second part of the game you ally with the VaNR to publicly humiliate and expose the CCK. To your shock, you find out that the CCK's plan to "eradicate" graffiti artists is simply to kill them. You also find out that Mayor Sung killed your father some years ago as part of some conspiracy plan to get into office. After the CCK destroy your hideout and kill your mentor, "Decoy", you go all out to expose Mayor Sung and the CCK for what they did. After a series of "artistic attacks" that include painting the side of a bridge, putting up hundreds of posters, defacing government propaganda billboards, and dropping thousands of anti-sung pamphlets from a government blimp on New Years, Sung resigns from office and all his anti-graffiti campaigns are dropped.
