Default Rags to Riches (A Gang RP.)

In this RP, you will start as a teenager in grade 12 at your high school. You have no followers, nearly no respect, no cash, no weapons, but the one foundation you DO have: The will to kick some ass. Starting in a randomly chosen city in Michigan, you'll need to start by doing odd jobs around the school. Some of them will earn you money, some will earn respect, some will earn both. But be careful. Don't get in too deep before you learn how to swim. If you try to do the more dangerous tasks too early in your career, you'll end up dead.

Here's what your character sheet should look like:

Name: (First and last.)
Alias: (Your Nickname.)
Age: (18-21)
Ethnicity: (Anything you want really. NO RACIST COMMENTS.)
Backstory: (Where you're from, who you are.)
Purpose: (Why do you want to start a gang? To fight the corrupt world of politics? Or just for the power? Whatever your reason.)

RULES:

1. The most important rule. There is to be no racism in this RP, whatsoever.

2. You CAN die. If you do, you can make a new character.

3. Only 5 people at a time will be allowed in the RP. If you die, make a new character, then die again, you'll have to give your spot up to someone else.

4. There WILL be PvP in this RP, but you don't have to do it unless it's pretty much a kill or die situation.

5. This is another very important rule. You do not dictate the results of your actions. When you, for example, swing a punch, you shouldn't say "I hit him in the jaw and he falls to the ground." You should only say that you swung a punch. I am the DM, I dictate the results while you dictate your actions.

6. Weapons, Properties, and more can all be bought at stores. The further you advance in the RP and the more money you gain, the more becomes available at stores.

7. At times, you'll find yourself in situations where you choose A), B), C), and so on. During these times, your choices determine what the people around you think of you, and thus, alters your reputation. Sometimes fear isn't as good as respect, because if everyone fears you, nobody respects you. Keep a balance between the two, because nobody wants to be teamed up with a savage.

That should cover everything, good luck

Name: Sam Crow
Alias: Frostbite
Age: 19
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Backstory: Lived in a neighborhood of a part town practically swarming with gang members and less than legal activities, gang status was integral to survival. Having none, the white-as-a-sheet, black-haired boy with pale blue eyes ended up getting a raw deal no matter where he went. His dad might as well not exist, and at 16 his mom disappeared as well, leaving him to take care of the pathetic apartment he now lived in alone.
Purpose: He wants his turn for the power and glory.

ooc| Er, pardon me if I'm out of line, but what about waiting to see if first of all we're all approved, and I would assume Rowle has some sort of setting or something they want to start with, since they have the part about being DM?

(Well, some nice sheets here. All of you are accepted. One problem though, fallenangel, you can't really have a car yet. You start at nothing (rags), but work your way up. You can spend your money on a car once you get enough, though. And for Buringblade, I'm gonna start where we left off on the UR forums.)

----------------------------
(Buringblade's Start)

Mitchell gets up after the punch and shakes himself off. "Hoo, so you know how to fight, eh? Alright, alright... Before we move on, I just wanna say--" Mitchell cuts off and delivers a cheap shot to Ryan's face. Ryan falls to the ground, bleeding slightly from his lip.

--------------------------

(Sam's Start

Sam sits around the back of the school, waiting. He's got a "meeting" with a kid named Evan. After a few minutes of waiting, he spots Evan turning the corner. He walks up to Sam, looks around, and starts talking.

"Good, you showed. Most of them don't. So, I heard you were looking for "work". I've got some for you." Again, he looks around. He seems shifty. "Alright, here's what I need you to do. I'm a ping-pong player. I'm in the finals of the school tournament. If I win this, I get to go to the state-wide tournament. The prize cash is 3000 dollars! I know I can win against nearly everyone else who qualified, so I'm pretty much set up for the win, right? Wrong! The one flaw in my whole plan is the guy I'm facing in the school finals, Brady Raymond. He's one of the best ping-pong players known to the school. I can't let him win! I need this prize money to help pay for my first car! The only way out is if he forefeits, and what I just figured out is, an injury is an automatic forefeit. What I need you to do is go find Brady, and beat him until you know he won't be able to compete. I'll reward you with a good 100 dollars if you succeed! Are you up for it?"

You can now choose to accept the job, or decline.

-----------------------------------

(Ethan's Start)

Ethan walks out the double doors at the front of the school. He sees a girl sitting in the parking lot, a few kids walking home, but no work that could win him some cash. Ethan shrugs and starts walking to his apartment building, but he's stopped by a firm hand on his shoulder. He turns to see Tom Burge with his angry face on. Tom is a medium-sized caucasian boy, same size and age as Ethan, brown eyes and buzzed brown hair. He pushes Ethan a little before he talks, with a deep, angry voice. "Hey, punk. Where's my money?" He asks. He thinks he runs the school, and he's always asking people for money in hopes that they'll fear him enough to give it to him.

You can now choose to reply with one of these 3 responses:

A) Oh, uh, I don't have any, sir.
B) What money? I don't owe you nothin!
C) You want my money, you'll have to fight me first.

---------------------------

(Nikki's Start)

Nikki sits on the parking lot curb, staring at some of the students' cars. She plans to get one soon, too. If only she could find some good paying work. She hasn't found any yet, but she knows of a few places she could look.

A) Look around the school.
B) Look around your neighbourhood.
C) Look in the mall.

ooc| Still thinking about my post, so I normally wouldn't post this (normally wouldn't even with an IC post), but, yo, I vote fallenangel out of the rp if they're gonna do that. Just completely ignored the DM. I am not cool with that.

Plus you didn't pick one of the three job-looking options that I can tell
in response since I don't want to add endless ooc posts >_>; -- Then please say that so that people like me aren't left thinking you were just blowing off the job thing
