Northome



Welcome, one and all, to the city of Northome. This RP is a (mostly) open-world game where you play as criminals, law enforcement officers, or vigilantes in the crime-infested megacity of Northome, in the year 2092. The world of the near-future has seen quite a bit of advancement, in terms of technology, however, the people of tomorrow remain just as greedy, selfish, and closed-minded as those of today. Let's get started.

-----------------------------------------------


The City Itself


Northome is an artificial city, constructed off of the eastern coast of the United States, about 35 miles out of Boston, within spitting distance of Massachusetts Bay. It was originally built by the US government to deal with overpopulation along the west coast, but it quickly gained a reputation for its' thriving underworld. It has everything, from sprawling industrial sectors to modern business divisions, making it one of the largest cities on the face of the planet, only rivaled by Tokyo. It has several levels underwater, but they are usually reserved for city maintenance.

The Four Crime Groups


There are four major groups that control most of the underworld of crime, each holding dominance over their own sector of larceny.

The Trezza Family



The Denisovich Party




The Kaentora Kyōkai




The Consortium




Technology


The level of technology is quite advanced, with cybernetic augmentations to humans, flying cars, brain uploading, etc. However, the aforementioned brain uploading and direct access to the Net through your mind are relatively new, and cloning is nonexistent.

In regard to weapons technology, it's mostly ballistics and advanced explosives, but there is the odd laser-based weapon or two.

The cybernetic enhancements can do most anything, except grant psychic powers, telepathy, telekinesis, etc.

Otherwise, go nuts.

Character Sheet


Here's a character sheet for uniformity.



Rules


Oh boy, this bit.

1: Don't be a Fun Nazi; don't detract from each others' experiences.
2: Don't Godmod.
3: No Mary Sues/Gary Stues.

Pretty simple, right? Have fun!

Hey, this caught my eye over in the interest check, but I saw the OOC was up so I decided to come here instead. Looks really interesting, so I'll get working on a character sheet if that's alright?

You are welcome to! However, I'll be out of the country until the 5th of June, so I hope this RP will be worth the wait!

*wristflap* no bother at all. Happy to help out, in fact. Also, sakurasan has withdrawn her interest. Still waiting on the others, save for space here. XD

Looks like Prophecy also withdrew interest during the brief hiatus. @Sovi3t and @wxps350 haven't replied yet. *Shamelessly lures them back with tags*

wxps has decided to withdraw his own interest as well, it seems. But, we still have a handful of players here, and I can recruit some more if you like.
