The news report today was boring as always, nothing but politics being talked about. The reporter then switched over to the sports topics, giving a small amount of interest to the skater. He shrugged, looking at it half asleep.
"In other news, the local skate park has been closed down. Mayor Gladys has proposed a new super mall to be built in place, along with a movie theater and gas station across the street where the baseball field is. He says that this mall will bring new job opportunities to hundreds of people and hopefully getting more people to move in. Vice Point is slowly but surely becoming a bigger city now."
The skater sat up in shock, angered at the news. He got up, grabbing his skateboard and heading out to the local skate park. When he arrived, it was already overrun by construction. He sighed and left, heartbroken and angered.

Skaters have been "outlawed" ever since the closing of Vice Point Skate Park. The city completely remodeled, attempting to make everything "skate proof". Viewed as criminals and punks, skaters and BMX riders seem to have no reason to be in the town by the mayor, who even has a special branch of police to arrest anyone who attempts to skate and ride their bikes on anything. The excuse the mayor gave for this aggressive action is "trespassing" and other unnecessary offenses. But this won't stop the skaters and riders who will fight to skate. They won't give up no matter. They'll go down fighting freedom to skate. And if they don't win, they'll go down swinging. These skaters will be pushed to their limits, facing jail time, fines, and even fights whether it be pedestrians, other skater and riders, or police. This won't be easy.
Story
In this roleplay, there will be a group of skaters and BMX riders getting together to try and get freedom for their passion. They will have to work together to get their message across to the public. Everyone will have to start small, getting enough attention to get a small fan base that'll support them. Gradually over time, they should earn more and more followers to help them earn their freedom.
To do this, they need to showcase their passion (whether it be doing tricks, making a documentary, or even art like painting). Posting their work will be a big part in this and will be the major way of gaining attention. Not all attention will be good, however, and will gain a bigger and bigger price on their head for the police to search for.
Character Sheet
The character sheet structure will go as follows:
- Name: Include the full name of your character. A nickname will be given to them as the story progresses.
- Age: Please have your character be between 16-25. No more, no less.
- Gender: Male, female, or whatever you identify as.
- Description: A picture of your character (please, no anime pics), a written description (be very detailed if only doing a description), or both.
- Personality: What is your character like? How do they act? (Please be detailed on this. Nothing is more annoying than a bland, boring personality)

- Affiliation: Do you skate or ride a bike? You cannot choose both.
- Strengths: The cool tricks, helpful skills, and other neat things your character can do. Anything goes, really.

- Other: Anything else about your character that's important.
- Theme Song: Completely optional, but it does give me a sense of what to play when your character talks (yeah, I do play their song when reading)
Rules
1) This roleplay will be long. Please note that we won't get to the freedom too quick.
2) Don't make your character the next Tony Hawk or Matt Hoffman. We aren't pros.
3) Although it isn't required, please know the names and terminology of skating and BMX. Please refer to these skating tricks and terms as well as BMX tricks and terms.
4) Note that there will be drama in this. This means someone will get arrested (make a back up/bait character if you want), the team will argue, and maybe someone snitches to save themselves.
5) Have fun with it!
More rules will be added where I see fit.
