A
single family comprised of all the people who live in the Adirondacks of Northern New
York State.
They often live in
small villages and greet outsiders with suspicion. Outsiders are blamed for most of the crime, even when its revealed that a crime was perpetrated by one of their relatives.
They all share common ancestors, and usually survive to the next generation by breeding with 2nd or 3rd cousins. They rarely leave the area, but many take the leap and move to the big city of either Watertown, Canton, or Massena.
Due to the lack of anything entertaining in the area, they entertain themselves by gossipping about each other, making bathtub meth, and camping in the woods. Gossip was historically discussed in local
bars, of which they have plenty, or at family gatherings at their camps. Since highspeed
Internet came to the area in
2012, the gossipping has moved online to topix sites. Locals
will now discuss the whores on Maple street, the new stop sign next to the perverts
house, and who is having intercourse with each other in public
Internet forums for anyone to view (seriously, look it up).
There are no jobs in the area and it is a complete mystery how people survive, especially with
9 months of -20 degree weather.
Local attractions include the thousand islands, yardsales, rivers that have septic tanks draining directly into them, and an occasional black person.
