The Short of It…
Several years ago on the old site, myself and a group of dedicated rp members embarked on a fantastic journey to build our own universe. The result was A Town Called Justice, an epic crime drama with fantastic stories and incredible character depth. Now, I’m looking to bring it back.

Justice is a neo noir crime thriller, set in the fictional city of Justice, California. It is an ensemble tale, usually with a large cast of characters and it is about life in a town that has come to be known as “America’s Most Evil City”. Taking inspiration from everything from crime movies, graphic novels and even comics; the purpose of Justice is to build a world through deep inter-connecting storylines and character studies.

You would play any type of character you want, criminal, cop or civilian as they try to survive life in a city plagued with crime and urban decay. There is an overarching story to every season but in Justice, its the individual stories of your characters and they way they interconnect with other characters, no matter how small, that the true purpose of justice shines.

Gritty, real and dark, if you’re coming to Justice, prepare yourself because you might just not make it out alive.



Current Season Details: Season 6 (Punishment Waltz)
Its December of 2015 and Justice is blanketed by snow and ice. Beneath the cold veil of mist and holiday cheer, a war is brewing and the streets of white will soon run red with blood. The Chinese Triad, known on the streets as the Ravenglass Boys have been the power in Justice for just over a year. As their domination of the dark streets grows, a threat to their stranglehold is on the horizon; an old gang from Justice's sordid past is about to return; the Fortuna's. A bloody fight is about to happen once more in America's favourite battleground.

In Justice, there are good guys ans there are bad guys, sometimes it takes more than a badge to tell the difference...

Rules:
1. We're in the casual section, so no one-liners. I am aware life can affect writing ability and times so I am quite happy with a single paragraph as long as there is plenty of detail and it adds to the story, no posts for the sake of posting.
2. Respect each other and be adults. If you have any disagreements, please take them to PM as I do not want any conflict between players (conflict between characters is fine) if I see any stupidness or pettiness during this rp I will terminate your position immediately. If there is a problem between players the GM's will help solve it so that we can do what we came to do - have fun and write something riveting.
4. This RP although filled with violence, drug use and romance is still rated 15, if anything sexual is happening and you insist on playing it, take it to pm and fade to black here before anything serious happens. We’re are an all ages board.
5. If you don't post within a week we'll check in with you and if we don't get a response within a further week we'll remove your character IC in a manner most disturbing and highly entertaining.
6. We run a cast system on Justice. You are allowed two main characters with two to three recurring characters.
7. Have a good time with each other and let’s create something magic.

Appearance:

Full Name: Corey Moore
Nickname: 'Cutlass'
Age: 29
Place of Birth: Montgomery, England
Family: Estranged wife and 12 yr old daughter he hasn't seen since college
Occupation: (Ex Police Academy, Ex Air Force) Current 'Problem Fixer' and Private Eye
Profile: Henry Moore was the picture of the perfect American man, he was the son of a senator, a war hero, and well respected police Sargent in the midwestern town of Harmony, to the public he was absolutely flawless, handsome, witty, smart, and patriotic. His father, Senator Patrick Moore made sure his son had the best start in life and was prepped from a young age to say all the right things and appear exactly how he should to the public, and it showed. Henry went on to marry the beautiful actress Cathy McCallister and they had two children Corey and Maisy.

Cathy and Henry were both experts at being amazing to the public, but they were both very different outside of the public eye. Henry was a drug user and violent alcoholic, a nasty habit he picked up while experimenting with exotic substances in the army, he would frequently get into fights and threaten action from his senator daddy if he ever got into trouble, the drill sergeants hated him, but the influence from his family was too strong, so he was never formally punished. The violence came home as well, he would frequently beat both of his children in a rage after a night of drinking and losing money at the casino calling them both 'bad luck charms' as he hit them. Cathy was apathetic at the best of times, also a drug user, sucked into a vicious cocaine habit since the age of 16 in stage school, and having multiple affiars with various police officials and politicians, which Henry knew about but couldn't expose her for because of his own public image of the 'perfect marriage'.

Corey saw all of this, the lies, the fake smiles, the evil. His father sent him off to both the police academy as a teen and later the air force in his early 20s in some home that he would follow in his footsteps as the 'perfect heir' but Corey rebelled, he hated the Police Force, The Army, The Congress, and Showbiz, this all reminded him of what his terrible parents represented. Although he was born and privately educated in England he could never escape the jingoistic american patriotism of his home life. So he ran away at the age of 21, to the US city of Justice, where the evils of the world were not hidden, but in plain sight, spending the next 8 years immersing himself in crime, vigilantism, escapism and self realization. The world was sick, people were flawed, Corey knew he was no exception but he was going to be honest about it.

Cast Status: Main character

Extra: Corey has various skills he picked up from the police academy and the air force which make him a very competent 'problem fixer' and investigator. He keeps himself in somewhat fighting shape (although he drinks a quite a bit). He is a skilled detective, hand to hand combatant (Boxing and Judo), driver, pilot, and knows quite a lot about criminal activity and street smarts due to his time in the city. A dangerous individual with no clear goal.

Nowhere near finished, or formatted, or anything, really. Just needed to post something concrete.

A Town Called Justice RP? OH yeah like I'm not gonna get in on this one.

Expect a CS in the next 24-48 hours.

MST MST MST MST!!!!! <3

@Dynamo FrokaneLooks good but we do like to use real pics for this, so please change the image, then you can post it in the character thread!

Be interesting to have a PI character. Don't think we've had that yet in any iteration of the rp.

@MST3K 4everMy man! Good to have you back for another go round MST!

@Xtreme Aight changed the picture, I'll put him in the tab now?

Full Name: Nathaniel Davis Mach

Nickname: Nathan, Nate, or “Nate the Great” to those who know him well.

Age: 43

Place of Birth: Baltimore, MD.

Family: Rhonda Spencer-Mach (Ex-Wife, Nurse, lives in Pittsburgh)
Sean (Son 12 years old lives with his mom)
Robert (Father, lives in Baltimore. Medically retired due to a stroke)
Holly (Mother, lives in Baltimore. Still working will be retiring soon)
2 Brothers and 2 Sisters (Not worth getting into detail over)

Occupation: Commander of the Major Crimes Unit.

Profile: Nathan was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. to a working class family. Dad was a construction worker and his mom was a bank teller. While they didn’t have as much as they would like they had enough to get by on. One of the goals of Nathan’s parents was for the children to surpass them, but with 5 kids that was easier said than done. So scholarships or other ways were needed for them to go to college. Nathan opted for the Marines where straight out of High School at the age of 18, and he excelled at being an M-P. Eventually he worked his way up into the Criminal Investigations Division where he showed tremendous skill at going undercover and conducting an investigation. During his time in the Military Nathan went to college and eventually earned a Bachelor’s Degree majoring in Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology.

Nathan stayed in the Military for 10 years and when he got out he applied at few of the Police Academies. Pittsburgh was the first to respond and Nathan moved there. While there he met a young lady named Rhonda Spencer. The two fell in love and got married shortly after Nathan graduated from the Academy. Nathan proved to be an excellent police officer and quickly worked his way up the ranks to Detective. At the age of 39 he was the youngest Homicide Captain in the history of the Pittsburgh Police Department. While Nathan excelled at the Department his home life took several hits because of his obsession with his carrer.

Everywhere Nathan went he saw reminders of his life with Rhonda and it caused him great pain. Nathan decided he needed a change of scenery so the Commissioner said he would help him. He told him about Justice, California where a friend of his was serving and needed. That the Police Department there was getting ready to start up a new division called the Major Crimes Unit. They would specialize in high profile crimes and taking down those who thought they were above the law. Nathan expressed his interest in the position and was brought in almost immediately as the C-O of the MCU. He handpicked each of the detectives under his command, and other than the standard rules of conduct Nathan has one rule that he wrote himself. None of the Detectives under his command are to have any sort of local family commitments outside of MCU. No spouses, significant others, or children because of the kind of crimes they deal with Nathan doesn’t want to take any chances that they could be compromised.

Nathan’s personality is that of a man who says what he means and means what he says. Nathan sees things in black and white to him there are very few gray areas, and doesn’t suffer fools easily. He is loyal to those under his command and expects the same loyalty from them.
Cast Status: Main

Extra: Extremely devoted to his son, and though he doesn’t say it he still loves his ex-wife.
