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 Land of Oz is no more than a pile of rubble at this point, forcing Dorothy to work at the local corner store. The Hundred Acre Woods suffered a similar fate, relegating Pooh Bear, Tigger and all their friends to work at a run-down, mom-and-pop Toy Store under the guise of store mascots. Snow White fared much better in Dark City, eventually becoming the tenement slumlord and renting apartments sky-high-prices to the 7 Dwarves. The Big Bad Wolf prowls the city streets, searching for innocent young girls to victimize. The neighborhood, called Darktown by its residents, has only 1 Law which must be enforced every second of every day – the use of a temporary magick known as Glamour. The city itself is facing a multitude of other inconvenient issues including: gang warfare, a freak Summer heat-wave and, of course, the citizens of Darktown.

In order to conceal their otherworldly appearances from the wary and violent humans, the mystical migrants purchase highly-expensive Glamour spells to cloak themselves and their families. Only a select few witches & warlocks still remember the old magicks necessary to perform this spell and they charge ludicrous fees, knowing that Glamours, (like food, water, shelter and electricity,) are a necessary expense to living in Darktown.

In Dark City money buys information – and information is power.

Will you take control before control is taken from you?
Will you kill or be killed?
Will you steal or be stolen from?

Food/Hunger
All humans need to eat. Not considered an IC/in-character stat, but [Food] is something any community needs. Decisions you make in the RP have consequences, some of which have the potential to greatly cut off the amount of food Darktown is producing.

My Sheet for reference.
[Name:] Gaspard "Jiggy" Molyneux
[Age:] 26
[Gender:] Male
[Appearance:]
[Glamour Form]:
[Short Bio:] Gaspard was born in Darktown, shortly after the Exodus, has never left the city limits and will probably die in Dark City as well. Due to the timing of his birth, he has magical capability, but has no affection or nostalgia for the fairy-tale Homelands of his elders. 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.

[3 Strengths:]
-Patience, particularly in Team/Gang settings
-Sharpshooter
-Irrationally and disconcertingly determined to accomplish some higher, noble goal. "Noble" for Jiggy is different than noble for most people, though.
[3 Weaknesses:]
-Rude and crass
-Has faulty joints and tendons in his hand, occasionally interferes with his shooting. Requires medication in the form of Dark-City Herbs, a local plant that grows in Darktown.
-Unpredictable sociopath

[Magical Artifact:] Scorpion Ring (A steel ring that adorns Jiggy's finger, has a cameo of a scorpion.)

[Name:] Jacqueline "Jack" Gauner
[Age:] 20
[Gender:] Female
[Appearance:] Jack is a rather plain looking girl, to say the least. She has fair skin that can easily take a beating, and stands at about 5'4, weighing just over 120 lbs. Her black hair is short, hanging just below her shoulders, and is choppy and rough to the touch, and her eyes are narrow and blue in color. She has a fairly pretty face, with round cheeks and small lips, and looks more like a teenager than a twenty year old woman. Normally wears an old paperboy hat and sweatshirt, nothing too flashy. Her non-glamour form is similar to that of a siren, a vixen who captured the souls of men with their voice. This was inherited from her mother.

[Glamour Form]:


[Short Bio:] Born to a family composed of a mechanic and a musician, Jack grew up with a wrench in one hand and a flute in the other. She was often told to respect her fairytale elders, though eventually grew tired of hearing all the same stories all the time, instead finding her interests drawn to the sciences and Maths that were most definitely not part of a magical tale. She is currently the head mechanic at her father's shop, as her dad has grown old and wary, and her mother has long since vanishe from the household, probably off in some far of state singing heart wrenching songs at an old bar. Her views towards the dank city she resides in are apathetic at most, she certainty doesn't care enough to leave nor to make a change, and instead just goes with the flow.

[3 Strengths:]
+ Smarts; Wise
+ Lying; Acting
+ Mechanic; Knowledge on cars, guns, and other machinery.
[3 Weaknesses:]
- Weak; Lazy
- Unsociable; Introvert; Liar
- Cowardly; Easily frightened

[Magical Artifact:] Pendant Ocarina: Hangs around her neck on a leather strap. When played it produces a sweet, yet slightly off-key noise.

[Name:] Micah Villiados
[Age:] 21
[Gender:] Male

[Appearance:]

• 6'8, 265 lbs


• Muscle fat.

[Glamour Form:] None.

[Short Bio:] Micah was born into Polynesian royalty, but was outcast at the age of 3 to a Darktown orphanage after the fall of his country's imperial ways. He lived a miserable life, suffering beat-downs from the other orphans and abuse from the staff until his escape at age 7. He soon found himself on his own in the streets of Darktown, jumping between crews, scamming one after another, and killing members in an attempt to assert his dominance. He accumulated wealth from the dead, and consolidated it all into a bank account under his name. He leaves no paper trail of any of his activities, self-renovating broken down structures and converting them into his safe houses. He contracts work to various Darktown dealers, and often does the dirty work for Darktown's elite. He has been labeled as an "Enforcer", and conducts his personal life in the shadows of these broken streets.

[3 Strengths:]

• Wealthy: Large amount of money stored in both the bank and various safe houses.


• Influential: Micah's name is known, yet he prefers to be a relatively unknown character in Darktown. Those who know of him know him as a sort of authority and not much else.


• Strength: Possesses an almost unnatural strength, which he often uses to intimidate his enemies in mere physical stature.

[3 Weaknesses:]

• Irresponsible: Micah is not one to clean up after himself after doing his dirty work. He relies on his low-key status to shield him, and has become somewhat spoiled because of it.


• Anger Issues: Micah is very susceptible to anger, and often makes many irrational decisions because of it.


• Unambitious: Micah has no plans of achieving success, power, or fame. He's content in his current situation, preferring a slightly adventurous life that can continually feed his ego.

[Magical Artifact:] Silver Dragon pendant about the size of a thumb. It hangs off of Micah's neck from a thin silver chain, where links are seamless and comprise the entire chain with no fault.

Definitely accepted. I'll try to get IC post up ASAP, but it will obviously be based on the first Mission in the main OOC post.

Accepted. Welcome aboard!

First IC post is up.

Just as an fyi guys, as magical beings, you have access to the Darktown Gate teleportation system, so utilize it. Just make sure you have your Glamour on if your true form is not human-like. However, for areas not connected by Darktown Gates, you must physically walk, run, bike, or take the dreaded, human-constructed, Hell-approved, public transportation.

I will have a post up most likely this Saturay or Sunday since I'm still away from home. I wouldn't want to make a crappy mobile post for this kind of game. Sorry for the trouble.

No prob, I'm sure it'll turn out how you want it to.

This RP has no post limits/time requirements since I myself am quite busy IRL, I just like consistency and communication.
