Premise: Our story begins in the most derelict neighborhood, in the the Darkest part of the city, where a community of occult, mystical weirdos resides. After a mass Exodus from their fairy-tale homelands, all manner of magical creatures, princesses and monsters all moved into the Dark City, hiding from whatever catastrophe befell their world. This saga began in the year 2001 and certainly did not bode well for the humans or the fables. The city itself is facing a multitude of other inconvenient issues including: economic corruption, gang warfare, a freak Summer heat-wave and, of course, the citizens.

Will you take control before control is taken from you?

This RP is a NRP-version or spin-off of another RP I'm trying to host in Casual, which is set in the same universe.

You, the RPer, will take control of a Neighborhood within Dark City. The citizens of Dark City have formed into violently-loyal gangs who compete for territory, resources and Magical Artifacts.

-This RP will use basic Dice Rolls and Addition/Subtractions for calculations and Battle Outcomes.
-The technology level is limited to what you would find in a modern city - power generators, handguns, electric drills, lawnmowers, cars, etc.
-There will be optional Story missions which you can complete for extra Resources and to possibly build stronger alliances with the other players.
-Territories and all major events will be marked on the City Map. The Map will be updated frequently, so keep checking on it for recent developments.

My Nation Sheet as an example:

Main Character's/General's Name: Gaspard "Jiggy" Molyneux
-Age: 26
-Gender: Male
-Bio: Gaspard was born in Dark City, has never left the city limits and will probably die in Dark City as well. He is an eccentric character, but fiercely loyal to the city and can't stand anyone that aims to stop his good time. Jiggy walks around with an air of superiority, believing that his gang, the Cannabins, own the entire city and must take it back from unwelcome hands. As long as your goals are the same as Jiggy's, Jiggy is an easy person to work with.


Neighborhood Name: Sunrise Heights, Southwest "West Side"
Gang/Family Name: "The Cannabins"
Specialized Units: [Grunt]
Location Preference: West Side: Southwest

Notable People:
-Gertrude "Rude Girl" Molyneux: Jiggy's Sister and top Combat Adviser

Hmm, interesting, but can you expand on the system that you plan to use?

When OOC goes up, every player will pick several items from a list of Traits. There will be Combat Traits, Neighborhood Traits and Resource Traits.

These Traits will positively/negatively impact things like Resource Gathering, Combat Stats, Weapon Acquisition, Morale and general dice rolls. The Traits are meant to limit our Gangs from overtaking the entire map in a few posts as well as to ensure a diverse combat culture and economy in the city.

I like it. Stay tuned for OOC.

Btw, I have no issue with Eisenhans going into Iron-Mode, just know that this "perk" will be mostly aesthetic and Eisenhans WILL be bound to the limitations that iron has (i.e., melting temperature of ~1500 degrees C, which means 1 simple propane tank at ~2000 degrees Celcius will melt him into a puddle.)

No issues with that here.

Is this a modern fantasy setting then?

And if so what are the limits when it comes to the specialised units?

You're limited by technology and magical ability (magic will be further explained in OOC, but you will have access to generic elemental spells.)

Stick to 1 Item/Industry each for the Primary Imports & Exports.

Does the fairytale that we base our gang on have to be one of the European/Grimm's fairytales? Or could I use a Japanese one?

Edited

Huh? You don't have to base your gang on any fairytale unless you want to. If you know any Japanese fairytales you'd like to base your gang on, by all means, go for it.

I'll look at this, although I'm pretty sure I'm too busy as is.
