A loud buzz filled the atmosphere of the busy streets where people were rushing to open shop or go to work. It was the dawn of a new day in Caldor and the air was thick with smoke and the stench of sweating bodies in the summer heat. Although the city appeared to be thriving in relative peace, the reality was not as such. Caldor was one in a web of cities connecting to the majestic city of Ironhall. Only the privileged and powerful lived in Ironhall, remaining in their secluded, closed off world. You rarely saw the gates of Ironhall open, and when they did it meant one of two things. One, someone had earned their right and had been formally invited to live in the city, or two, a rebellion had taken place, soon to be silenced by the sight of the cities great and powerful army.
There was no contact between Ironhall and the rest of the cities, however there was trade. Caldor was a production city, their economy depending on the demand of machines and stem-powered vehicles. They traded with the other cities for food, water and resources, or they traded internally for more.. sinister things. Caldor was known for its black market of weapons. Weapon production outside the army was illegal, this included guns, explosives, poisons and chemicals.
Caldor unfortunately is the lowest of the low, looked down upon by the other societies even though none of them could compare to that of their superior. It was the city of corruption, theft and known for its violence and slavery-or as they put it-'voluntary hard labour'. Those who lived in the city were faced with once choice; adapt, or die trying. Once you hit rock bottom, the only way to go is up. Which is why hatred and deception is the norm of the society, if you didn't step on others, you were going nowhere. Kindness wouldn't save you in Caldor. Compassion didn't pay the taxes. Caring wouldn't save you from a bullet. People go missing every day in Caldor, its no wonder they stopped keeping track. And with no supervision, it was easy for someone to be taken in the dead of night with no suspicion, no questions asked, no one even noticed. Except for the ones who were left behind.. This is where your story begins.
So before we begin! Heres even more nonsense you have to read:
Rule no.1
RESPECT, I know you're wondering why this is so important but it is because this is the kind of theme that could have conflicting interests or details, some people could know more than others about this era. I personally am not asking for a perfect detailed description of this kind of setting because its different for everyone, it is your world and you may create it, you can guide others if you know more but do not demoralize them. Thank you.
Rule no.2
Lengthy posts please, 2 paragraphs is a minimum, and if everyone posts at least that much then we all should hopefully have enough information to work with. However this rule will have exceptions!
Rule no.3
Please be active, this is a storyline involving a main
group. Each of you will work together so this will require co-coperation. IF the roleplay does divert to 1x1 please avoid filling the page with ping-pong action, a suggestion would be to take it to PM and then have it summarized :]
Rule no.4
This could quite possibly have mature themes however its not really about all that so I don't think we need to worry. Cussing is allowed to an extent, please call upon common sense! Relationships and romance is allowed but anything sexual must be skipped over, but to be honest I doubt you'll fit it in.
Rule no.5
You MUST post a CS and be approved of before you may roleplay. I will not create an IC thread as of yet just so that we make sure we have enough orphans to begin with, i'm hoping for.. 5? And stick to the sheet, providing as much as you can. It is highly encouraged for you to create a charcter with a specific trait that is different to anothers for example genious, fighter, gadget builder, anything you can think of that would contribute to a group effort, but this can be a
positive OR NEGATIVE effort because not every random bunch of people are perfect! And don't worry if we've created the IC already, I will always let appropriate characters join, you can be an orphan that happens to bump into us! Oh and HAVE FUN! :3
