[/i] One hundred and forty four years after the bombs fall here is a hierarchy in life, and we're at the bottom. For twenty five years years King Henry the Tenth made sure off that. While the Monarchs stayed safe in their bunker when the bombs fell everyone else was left out in the wastes of the city to fend for themselves, all over the British Isles people died. Hundreds, thousands, millions. It came to the point that you were lucky to have died when the bombs fell, radiation was a killer for years to come and only those lucky enough to live out in the country side managed to survive and scrape by a living for themselves. Slowly, over time. People began to rebuild. Then the broadcast came, promising a better life. One like before the war and the bombs fell, a life of perfection in the Capital city of London. Of course many heeded the call however what greeted them was much different. The outer city lay in ruins, and once approaching the center men in power armour appeared and informed them that they were now subjects of His Royal Majesty King of England. Many tried to escape, however it was impossible. While the border patrols let people in, they did not let people out. Industrial Centers and Residential Centers were established throughout the city to perform specific purposes as the population grew. However it has began to grow stale under the tyranny of King Henry, there are whispers. Rumors of revolution. Some call them mad men, other call them heroes. The question is, will you be brave enough to rise up in arms? --- [b]The Premise[/b] The Premise for this Roleplay is typical Fallout apocalypse "trying to get by" style. However with one major difference, you're trapped within the confines that are dictated to you by the all powerful King Henry and his band of not-so-merry men. You will be within one of the Civilized areas of the city, however I am not opposed to you living outside of these areas be aware that if you are outside of those areas sphere of influence you are also outside of the safety from the Guards, while this is a good thing as they're not exactly the nicest people on the planet this also means all manner of nasty Fallout style beasties can come after you. Besides worrying about monsters you will also have to worry about Slavers capturing you and handing you over to the Monarchy or worry about a patrol as it is illegal without a permit. There will be a currency set forth by the King, Pounds of course. Roughly made coins with a badly drawn face on them and any older pre-war coins can be traded for more valuable goods due to their demand within the royal court. Despite this many people still resort to the good old fashioned trading goods for goods that was the norm before the King came forth from the vault. I'll go into more detail into locations, animals and weapons further down. --- [b]Laws[/b] As set forth by His Royal Highness, King Henry the Tenth of England. I. It is forbidden to speak poorly off him. For he is your savior. II. It is Illegal to leave the bounds off settlements without a permit. III. Pounds are the currency of the Realm, unregulated trading is illegal. IV. Thievery, Rape, Murder are all intolerable sins. V. Every subject must work every day: No exceptions for elderly or infirm. VI. Devotion to the Church of England is not optional. VII. Every Woman by the age of 25 must bear at least one son - If unmarried a Lord will impregnate her. --- [b]Rules[/b] It is going to be a nitty gritty roleplay. However I still have rules. 1. I control the Roleplay, what I say goes. 2. You can [i]die[/i]. This is not a movie where you are the main character. Plot armor only exists on the King. 3. If you do something stupid and someone posts a response. You can only go back to change it if both players agree. 4. When it comes to sexual interactions (Willing or No) fade to black. If you wish to rape someone in the Roleplay PM the other player first. 5. Be realistic, you may be under oppression but you have no training and the Kings men have guns. You aren't just going to suddenly yell out "Viva la revolution." 6. Enjoy yourself. --- [b]Civilized Areas[/b] [u]This list is subject to change as the RP progresses.[/u] [/centre] [hider=Buckingham Palace] Buckingham palace is the only building recognizable compared to its old self. Upon the seizure of control on the surface out of the Vault it was the first building to see slaves put to work on it. It is patrolled 24/7 by Guards in Power Armour and the area inside the gate has been retrofitted with some of the nicest looking slums within the whole of the city. These are the peasants who are required to work in the Palace upon a daily basis however they are not high enough in the hierarchy to be allowed to say within the Palace when not performing their duties. No Ghoul can be found inside of the fence, as while the King sees that they can be useful he will not permit any to be too close to him as he sees them as an abomination off God.[/hider] [hider=Central Station] Central station or "Doggsville" as it is compassionately called by its inhabitants is where most of the slaves were put in order to be housed. No-one lives outside as to create dependency the Guards only protect the actual building and not a surrounding area. As such plumbing of water and waste is an issue, there is only electricity in important areas and slummed housing piles high in the main building, the slums themselves extend into the underground network however due to the need to the underground it does not go past the terminal.[/hider] [Hider=Battersea Power Station] This is an important part of the Monarchs infrastructure. Other than the Palace it is the most heavily guarded place in the city. It always has a patrol of ghouls and is always crewed so that the power is always flowing. However after some jerry rigging it only supplies power to selected parts of the city. One of the powered sections is the Underground system to allow functionality off that, which also allows power for Central Station. Another is Buckingham Palace and the last is London Bridge in order to ensure that it is still functional. [/hider] [hider=Tower of London] The Tower of London which had been retrofit largely for Tourism before the bombs fell has been changed back. Old Cells with barred doors, men patrolling the halls and sounds of torture come from the tower. Atop the heads of those who have opposed King Henry can be seen placed on pikes in a barbaric display of power, however something can be said for bluntness being effective. [/hider] [hider=London Bridge] London Bridge, by design, is the only way to cross what used to be the River Thames. As most of the other side is still a work in progress to be made habitable the bridge usually remains raised. It is only ever crewed by ghouls unless any member of the Royal Family is venturing across, if that happens the ghouls are moved temporarily and a human crew takes over the duties of the bridge until the Royals have finished crossing the bridge.[/hider] [centre] [i]While these are the civilized areas the entire district of the City of London is available to players, beyond that you will be sent back or shot by the guards for attempting to leave. You can live outwith these areas if you want however you have to watch out for bandits who will likely kill you, Kings Men who will kill you or send you to the tower for re-education or Slavers who will send you to the Kings Men.[/i] [i]The underground has not been completely purged of deadly wildlife. The guards prevent them from entering the settlements and protect anyone who is authorized to use the system however beyond that they are wild and dangerous.[/i] --- [b]Technology[/b] First and foremost, any computer technology is held within the Powerplant and Buckingham palace [i]only[/i]. It is held under such security that no-one else has any. So I won't detail it unless I have too. There are only rumors of robots existing in Buckingham Palaces vault, there are no confirmations. I won't be putting weapons here that are available to the resistance as the resistance either use stolen weapons, hand made weapons or older weapons such as a Lee Enfield. [u]This list is subject to change as the RP progresses.[/u][/centre] [hider=Power Armour] [i]This armor is worn by the Elite Guards off the Royal Family, Knights wear a painted white version. It has all the same attributes as any other Power Armour however the version the Elite Guards wear scramble their voices so they all sound the same.[/i] [img]http://th03.deviantart.net/fs8/PRE/i/2005/277/1/1/Power_Armour_by_SimonPrime.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=Guard Armour] [i]While not really technology it is still better than what a lot of the resistance uses, unless they get a hand on some Guard Armour or even Power Armour. It is basic Kevlar and the shield is re-enforced. Normal people from the slums usually wear this armour with pride as becoming a member of the Police/Guards is the highest station they are likely to achieve.[/i] [img]http://images.theage.com.au/2011/06/09/2420039/fpp_SWAT_SQUAD-300x340.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=MKA1-53] [i]The MKA1-53 is the standard Assault Rifle given out to the Elite Guards and Knights. It is capable of Semi-Automatic and Automatic firing modes, and comes with a small grenade launcher capable of utilizing either smoke/gas or explosive rounds.[/i] [img]http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/6580/sideshot0124.jpg/img] [/hider] [hider=A-S12] [i]The A-S12 is the standard Assault Rifle given out to the Guards. It is capable of Semi-Automatic and Automatic firing modes and unlike the lethal weapons given to the Elite Guards and Knights it is built so that it can use non-lethal rounds.[/i] [img]http://videogame-art.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VideoGameArt_ScifiGun_Ely02_TorFrick.jpg[/img][/hider] [hider=LR-52] [i]The LR-52 is only used by Knights upon the perimeter of the Kings domain to limit the number of people necessary to ensure that no-one leaves the safety, security and the control off the King. It is high caliber capable of shooting through at least 3 walls of average thickness. It is also equipped with a thermal sight so that they can always keep track of their target.

While it usually fires slugs off metallic shrapnel it can also use beanbags in order to have a non-lethal alternative.[/i] [img]http://polygoblin.net/images/Shotgun_Beauty.jpg[/img][/hider] [hider=VF-24] [i]The VF-24 is kept in Knight hands only. Capable of penetrating walls and bulkheads with various explosive rounds it can also deploy gas and smoke. Only the most experienced of Knights are allowed these and if you see one in the hands of your enemy you know you have pissed them off.[/i] [img]http://th07.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2013/161/0/e/grenade_launcher_by_sobaku_chiuchiu-d68hnry.jpg[/img] [/hider] [centre] The "Royal" cart for the Underground is just a modern age train. Everyone else if needing to use the underground network sits on a rough cart which is controlled by pulleys operated by ghouls. --- [b]Creatures:[/b] [u]This list is subject to change as the RP progresses.[/u] I'm going to leave this list short as I fully expect people to create their own animals as things move along. As things are created I'll add them to the list. Mice and Rats are still around too, though they are largely unchanged. [/centre] [hider=Tunnel Spider] [img]http://images2.static-bluray.com/reviews/7842_1.jpg[/img] The Average Tunnel Spider is half the size of a man, over four times as strong and fast. Its web is as strong as steel and their poison can incapacitate someone in seconds, killing them in minutes. What is worse is that they are the plentiful and the males. The Females are twice as tall, over eight times as strong and fast and if you see one and it gets you there is no time at all. Luckily while the males can be seen scurrying around most of the underground system looking for food the Females are typically only found in stations or junctions where there is a lot of room. Despite this it is possible for them to move around the tunnel systems due to their ability to squeeze through small spaces however luckily they tend to not do that.[/hider] [hider=HumpBack] [img]http://digital-art-gallery.com/oid/3/1000x701_1626_Yak_2d_fantasy_creature_animal_concept_art_picture_image_digital_art.jpg[/img] While in America the Brahmin evolved over in the UK it was a lot colder, and the HumpBacks evolved. They tend to stay out of the cities however several of the parks have been turned into farming areas and herds of HumpBack have been brought in. They are strong and if trained correctly will carry packs however their best quality is their meat which is both filling and not overly disgusting. Their milk however is rarely used due to how hard it is to milk one. They are usually docile however the males can get rowdy during mating season and they can be dangerous if startled.[/hider] [centre] --- [b]Important Notes[/b] I would like to point out a couple of things: -This happens in the UK. Nothing that happens in the Fallout Series applies here, that was a world away. -Ghouls are looked down upon, lower than the lowest slave. When used for combat they are only ever allowed melee weapons. --- Questions? Post them below.[/centre]
