A CITY ON FIRE

Deep in the heart of the United States of America, there exists a metropolis by the name of Match City. Years ago, the city was dying, drowning in its filth and crime. The area was unsafe, people who lived there were always attempting to move out and nobody wanted to move in. The police were close to useless, understaffed and inexperienced with absolutely no control over their city. People lived in fear.

Then, things began to change. Crime levels began to lower in every aspect except for one. There were no more bodies being discovered than there had always been, but they were now of a different sort, the criminals and offenders that plagued the city. Crooks began to back off, shrinking into the shadows and whole neighborhoods shaped up. People were living more comfortably than they ever had before in certain areas of the city. While in other sectors, those who had never known fear began to sweat in the dark. Many people were unaware of what had caused such a change, but a select few knew fully well.

Over the course of a few years, five different assassin groups had taken over the five sectors of the city, laying their claim. These groups harbored incredibly different methods and beliefs, their influence over each sector drastically varied. Whether people come to revere you as heroes, or hate you with a bitter passion, it all depends on which name you belong to. The poisonous Belladonna, the intrepid Avia, the opulent Royals, the defending Familia or the scheming Black Cats.




So that is the general premise of the world of Match City! This rp will be taking place within the five assassin groups that occupy the city: Belladonna, Avia, Royals, Familia or Black Cats. There will be a quick bio on the beliefs of each one down below in a hider. Each group is ruled by a leader and my current thinking is that I will be playing one of the leaders (specifically for Avia) and that other players can fill in for the other groups as long as they command within the goals and beliefs of that group. And beyond that they can be pretty self-sufficient However, if it turns out to be better that I take command of all, I'm willing to go down that path as well.

It's meant to be kinda geeky and fun as well as dark and violent. Each assassin group has their own theme for code names and taking on their assignments. Romance is 100% okay with me as long as everyone involved is of course okay with it as well! But of course recognize that dark themes will come into play because... well it's an assassin au. Let's just have fun with it!

I'm rather inexperienced on this cite and especially in starting my own rp (this is my first), so I hope you can help me through the process just a little bit and I promise it'll be a fun and exciting adventure for everyone. I can't really think of anything else to say, so I'll just pop the bios down and wait to see if there are any further questions, suggestions or concerns~

First things first, welcome to the site. Secondly, this is probably the most detailed first-time gm rp I've ever seen. I'm impressed. I'd be interested in being a part of Familia. I would offer to lead but I'm not good at playing females.

Familia sounds really cool, I'd love to be a member if nobody will give me diss for playing as one of the arbitrary "good guys" group.
Got two character ideas, one being the biggest and baddest, if not very mentally acute warrior of the group by the name of Chariot, the typical dangerous-looking giant with a heart of gold. Second is a kindly, gentle and graceful yet mischievous and suggestive Empress of the Familia - but I'll only use this one after I learn whether or not the codenames are unisex or if a person must follow the pronoun of the card.

Definetly throwing my interest into this one. Probably going to go with Belladonna, might try for the leader if allowed, but have a few ideas kicking around nonetheless!

I am aware now that the links for the images don't appear to be functioning properly, I'll try to fix that tomorrow if I can. Also, I'll maybe put out a character sheet, or is it better to wait for the OOC? Haha, like I said this is my first time ^^"

@Kronshi
Thank you so much! I've spent a lot of time working on this universe and am really passionate about it!

@FantasyChic
Thanks for the interest! Either of those two would be lucky to have you!

@Keksalot
Codenames have absolutely no influence over the gender of the character. Empress (or any other traditionally gendered card) can totally be male, female, ace or what have you! It's the same in royals with the chess pieces, King or Queen does not imply the gender of the assassin ^.^

@urukhai
Excellent! Belladonna is such a wonderful group, promise!

I really don't need another RP.

But

I'm interested in playing someone from Avia. Not too keen on playing the leader, but I might give it a shot if I can come up with something when it's not twelve at night

The leader for Avia is actually reserved already (sorry, Avia is a baby of mine I'm not willing to relinquish control of), but I am wholeheartedly willing to welcome you into the nest!

...I recall reading that, now that you mentioned it.

Ignore me, I am going to bed now before I do something else silly~ xD

But yes. Interest, have it.

Aight, got some stuff figured out.

Empress as i imagine them will be a person that stuck around for as long as Familia exists and probably even for some time before that, but doesn't seem to get older - probably due to the sheer amount of makeup worn - or lose the edge needed to keep up with the eager newcomers thinking they are hot shit who know how things should be done better than everyone else. Empress'd be kind, caring for her gang of rowdy murderers in an almost parental sort of way, yet steer them in a needed direction forcefully whenever really needed - overall a sort of a beggar queen archetype, being renown in the city and having a wide net of contacts and informants everywhere despite holding no official power anywhere in Match and living on barely enough funds to allow tap water and electricity for her manor, not for luxury but for memory's sake because it is a place where untold generations of her family lived even before it was transported to America from the old world brick by brick. Her important trait would be that she does not suffer any "stupid gimmicky bullshit" in her Familia - they are stone cold fucking killers and not performance artists. Of course, train as hard as possible with all weapons at your disposal just in case, but if you need a person dead then don't risk your stupid head jumping them in a dark alley or sneaking into their home and lacing their favorite teaspoons with poison, just bring a couple of friends and blast the fool into the kingdom come from where he couldn't see you with a big gun - if you try to stage an ironic or painful demise for a rapist in order to make an example then you are no better than the degenerates you kill anyway.

Sounds good for the most part! Once the actual OOC gets made, I'm going to be gathering up every person in the different groups into a PM and I'll be giving a much more detailed report of what each assassin group is and their motivation and their base of operations and all that so then hopefully it can help you with more details (not too much though, still want you to have choices and control of course!)

Interested, I'm leaning towards Belladonna. I wouldn't mind leading either, though if someone else wants to I'll back down.

Decided on going the Royal route. I could lead also, if no one else wants it

I do believe that @urukhai may have had their sights on being the leader of Belladonna first, unless their thoughts have changed.

@FantasyChic
Prepare for the high life!

@NerdyFox
Of course! Welcome to the flock!

On a separate note, I think I'll wait until we have at least one person interested in Black Cats and then go ahead and make that OOC, that way all our bases are filled.

EDIT: But at the same time, if no one's interested that's totally fine, I have a metric crapton of NPCs stowed away for this very purpose.

I'm actually thinking I'll go a Royals member, perhaps leader if @FantasyChic doesn't mind.

@KiwiBaer Actually, I think I'd rather be a part of the Black Cats instead. I may decide later to lead it. I'll have to see how things develop.
