The View


An Original Roleplay By

icmasticc



"Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent than the one derived from fear of punishment."

- Gandhi



"Do you wanna know the secret to our success? It's not like it's a fucking secret or anything, kid. It's real simple.

You know why I brought you to the top of Millennium Tower? Look out over the city. Everything you hear about is true. The politicians are dirty. The police pick and choose what they'll respond to and they're easy to play with otherwise. Money can get you just about anything you want as long as you got enough of it. Even with the corruption and the easy pickings, the crime rate is the lowest it's ever been. The citizens, for the most part anyway, are happier than they've ever been. And it's all cause of us. We pay the bills for this city. We keep the low tier fuckers in line when they've gone far enough. We give enough cash to charity to keep'em happy for years on end. And in return? We're allowed to do just about anything we want. We own businesses. We own people. Hell, we own this fucking city. Regalia is our turf and it always has been. And the secret to that success?

It's the people, kid. Never forget that. You gotta have the people on your side to maintain the control we've maintained for as long as we have. People ain't afraid of us. Hell, they call us when they need help instead of fucking cops. You gotta keep the people on your side. You do that and this little problem we got will solve itself. Mostly. That's the real reason I brought you out here. I'm leaving you and the rest of your crew in charge here. We took over this place years ago. Now it's your job to keep that crown. Don't let those other gangs move in. This is the beginning of a new branch for the Syndicate. I'm leaving it in your hands. Oh, one more thing.

The view is fucking magnificent isn't it? Remember this view, kid. This is what it's like to get to the top. Now you just gotta prove you can stay there."



Welcome to my thread! The premise of this roleplay is quite simple. You will play a member of a very successful crime syndicate in a fictional metropolis. This organization is currently setting up a new branch and the main cast of characters form the crew that is expected to keep control of everything. At the same time, a rival organization begins its move into the city and crime is beginning to inch its way back up. The roleplay takes place in the modern day and mirrors our world in terms of current technology and progression.

The story will be strongly character-driven with an overarching narrative to keep the forward momentum going at a good pace. This roleplay will also feature a sort of open world element in that characters don't always have to be in the same place at the same time. The players will be able to create their own sub-stories that will then be linked to the main narrative organically. In short, I want to create an RP that will have a story and mythology created by everyone involved.

Obviously this is an interest check so I will have more information in a potential OOC should enough interest be shown. Finally, if you have any questions, feel free to ask and I'll answer to the best of my ability. Who would be interested in participating in something like this?

Thanks for the showing of interest @corneredbliss and @Plank Sinatra. A few more people and I'll throw up an OOC thread. I did tag this "small group" for a reason, but I do not mind if a bunch of people become interested.

Thank you for your interest @CaughtInTheRiddle and @OneWayOut! I could also swear we did something together some years ago Caught, hmm... In any case however, I think 4 people is enough interest shown for an roleplay tagged "small group". That's not to say more people can't join of course, but I've already got one written up. You know, just in case this happened to garner enough interest and stuff ha.

Give me a second to check over it and I'll have it up momentarily. This thread is still open though so all you lurkers out there can still express your interest right here if you wish.

Probably, considering I haven't been on since the relaunch until now. In fact, I don't even know when the site relaunched like this lol.

Bumping this!

We are looking to add a few players to the roleplay if anyone is interested. Just follow this link and read over the OP. If you decide you want to join, shoot me a PM with your character sheet and I'll give you instructions on how to integrate yourself into the current IC. I've also got a section in the OP to see the story thus far. We haven't gotten all that far yet, but we could definitely use a few new additions to our small group. Thanks for your consideration!

EDIT - We are now closed to new players. Thanks for all the consideration from everyone who did so. I'll re-bump this again if we ever need players once more.
