Obligatory mood beatsies.

In order to get into the Naranja Grande Private Experimental Facility, you have to be either an unlucky villain, or a very unlucky prison guard. No one visits Naranja Grande, no one gets off on good behaviour from Naranja Grande. No one's scheduled for parole for years. The employees live there in year-long shifts with breaks for major holidays if they're lucky... The only contacts Naranja Grande has with the outside world are HAM radio, Landlines, and the US Postal Service. Occasionally, investors and Federal Wardens will drop by for a tour, but only for decidedly special occasions.

Not a single inmate has ever stayed their full sentence. Maybe they've appealed to the courts for some reason or another and were transferred, pardoned, or found to be not guilty. A few smartasses have managed to skid by on the fact that some of their restraints could be considered cruel and unusual. The biggest smartasses escape, of course. And sometimes, friends of escapees get "Kidnapped" out.

Here, you will play as a super-powered (Or perhaps just an especially dangerous normal) convict, or specially qualified member of prison personnel in a maximum security correctional facility. The Naranja Grande is a trailblazing, highly experimental facility run by a government Think Tank in southern Nevada. Things are done with dubious legality and good intentions, usually in the interest of humane discipline and rehabilitation... But, make no mistake, the think-tank has its share of hardasses who will waste no time in cracking down whenever they can find a reason.

A Supervillain can manipulate their way out, or just get ahead, perhaps by corrupting or coercing guards and officials. They can build prison gangs and contraband rings, perhaps... Even find proteges, if they choose. After all, who isn't just one bad day away from ending up here? Or, y'know, you could do what you're supposed to do and try to emulate an upstanding member of society. If not for keeps, at least until you're deemed safe enough to be transferred somewhere nicer. Hell, you might even be an unlicensed Superhero in here for vigilantism.

An employee is generally in charge of their work tasks. While supers are generally hired into law enforcement branches, no doubt a few of them are held in emergency supply in prisons. Particularly Superhuman-specialized Prisons like this one.

Hold parties, commit conspiracies, engage in debaucheries, and maybe start a good old-fashioned riot... Anything's possible in a comic-book prison. How else would people get out of it all the damn time?

Not sure I'm fully aware of which things you're referring to, but it sounds awesome. Blackgate is the visual novel, right?

Blackgate is/was the prison in the DC universe when arkham isn't an option because they are just evil, not insane.

Oz was a tv series on HBO from 97 to 03 and really 'harsh' look at the prison system.

Definitely going in that direction. I mean, after a cursory youtube search, I'm not sure it's going to be quite as dark as Oz, but... The prisoners start out with a fair degree of freedom, your average guard is under orders not to get involved in violent conflicts unless they're part of the Riot Unit, and things can genuinely get really shit. The hero willing to sacrifice his time fighting crime on the outside by getting into trouble could actually start doing the traditional superhero vs. villain thing in the prison. A lot of people can and will die, like in the show, if we're going to get all medieval on the side of prison crime/stopping prison crime.

That's plenty for an OOC, I'd say!

Just a daily bump. Assuming everyone who posted in the OOC joined, we still have 1 or 2 spots left.
