In an America ravaged by crime and overcrowded prisons, the government sanctions an annual 12-hour period during which all criminal activity -- including murder -- is legal. Will you survive The Purge?
This purge focuses around a group of strangers, all of which find themselves stuck in the city for this years purge. They all take refuge for the night in the Hotel Noir which proudly boasts itself as a purge proof sanctuary. Unfortunately, nothing is entirely safe. The hotel is broken into by a group who collects people to sell at auction. The strangers must work together to try to survive the assault and each other.
In order to join, choose one of the available roles below and fill out an application. Roles and spots in the rp are first come/first serve, with no reservations. The cap on players is 4 (excluding myself).
The Resistance Hacker:
You're part of the anti-purge resistance. You're trying to hack into the broadcast message to send out a message of your own.
The main cable to the broadcast building runs right under the Hotel Noir. By hacking into it directly, you can make sure your line is secure and nearly impossible to override externally.
The Former Military:
You're former military. You were discharged honorably after physical or mental damage occurred overseas.
Your former squad mate's father owns the hotel and offered you a room free of charge this year.
The Rich Kid:
You're a trust fund brat.
You're avoiding your families annual purge auction event this year by staying in the suite at the Hotel Noir.
The Criminal:
You need some quick cash to pay off some debts.
What better place to rob than a fancy hotel on The Purge. Make sure you hide before lock down starts.
The Staff:
You work at the Hotel Noir
As perk, all staff that work during The Purge get to stay inside during lock down.
The Parent:
You're a mom or dad.
Your car broke down. You won't make it home for the purge tonight so you shell out money for a room at the hotel.
The Healer:
You're a doctor or nurse.
The hotel you normally stay at was overbooked so they sent you down the street to the Hotel Noir.
Applications don't have to be terribly long. Just cover the basics so I can get a feel for your character.

I wrote a quick CS, hopefully, it is OK. Then again it is nearly 3am where I am so my judgement may be affected somewhat.
Name:
Erika Green
Age:
28
Role:
The Criminal
Personality:
Erika is a daredevil and likes to live on the edge, things have to happen now and fast. She believes she has to live as much as she can before she dies which could happen at any time. She is also rather sneaky and so uses that trait on a daily basis in many criminal ways though mostly lifting cash, credit cards and jewellery. She does not need these things, she needs the thrill of being caught and having someone chase her if she is caught out. She is a decent person just a little misguided in what she is doing, her best skills are skills criminals have. She does not tend to hurt people unless they get physical and so she carries a knife and gun at all times. However, has yet to actually use her gun on people, it is more to scare them though she knows how to use it at the same time. She is easy to get on with, fun and has a mild addiction to various kinds of soda such as coke, Fanta, Spirit, etc. She is quite alternative as well and does modelling jobs time to time but does not get the rush like she does when doing criminal activity.
Background:
She has a sister and a younger brother who unlike her actually obey the law and somewhat frown at Erika's way of life, yet they still love her. Her life is fairly normal, none of at her parents did not love her or died when she was young. She was a bright and smart girl but somewhat lazy during her school days which resulted in her getting mostly C's and the odd B after finishing school. After school, she went from job to job unsure what she wanted to do with her life. She had worked at a pet shop, two offices, a movie theatre, and a few other places. In-between her working days she would model for various magazines and internet sites. She liked modelling but it did not excite her, she needed something to get her heart racing. She tried various extreme sports which worked somewhat but something was still missing.
On a random whim one night she tried robbing someone, this person was a selected target. Someone who had made other people's life unbearable and so she would rob him to make him see the errors of his ways. The first time was easy yet it gave Erika what she craved a strange sensation which she had not felt until now. Her parents were none criminal just as they parents were and so they have no idea where this side comes from. They don't like it but they deal with it in strides. After that night Erika began to find ways of doing criminal things in everyday life and over time found herself getting better and better at it. She had never done a home invasion or a physical attack on someone. It was not her thing, however, she could do them if she wanted to but stealing and taking things was more than enough unless they were complete assholes. She usually picked her targets, normally well off people or those who made life hard for others.
She has been caught a few times, learning the game meant she would be found out time to time. Luckily she did not get any prison time she did, however, get several fines and a criminal record. This did not stop her modelling/criminal career, her appearance made it easier to do things as most people let their guard down. People did look at her like she was a weirdo but she got that like most alternative people did. All the credit cards she managed to steal were never used, she was smart enough to know she would be caught red handed is she used them and so always burned them or shredded them. She does not know much other than steal things and model for the camera, the purge is a night she is well prepared for. The annual purge had more risks but had better rewards for those who dared, Erika had only done her first one two years ago before that always stayed locked up in her home in NY. Time to time would fly out of the country with her family to avoid the chaos and death.
The trips would usually take them to London [UK], Rome, Paris or London [Canada]. Though not normally violent the purge brings out another side of her where she will kill if she needs to. She is not the best at it but she is clever about it and a very good improviser. She has killed about nine people so far, five rich assholes who were on the prowl for poor people. Four people who thought they could take her because she looked weak. Something about the purge changes her though this year she wants to just take what she can and get out, but will it really be that easy? She owes someone money and what better way to get it then on the night of the purge. She only owes 2K, an easy target as she already had $500 at home. Money is no real object as she models and takes it from people but time to time does borrow it from people. She borrows from some people who are considered dangerous, however, she always gets it back to them on time or somewhat early.
