Once upon a time, in a universe far removed from our own, there was a land called Oblivion. In addition to its ominous name, the people of this land have a peculiar way of doing things. Namely, people of Oblivion believe that you only deserved as much freedom as you are capable of taking by your own hands. They called this the “Philosophy of Chaos”.

In this land of Oblivion, there is a city called Yire-Alba. It is one of the great cities of the land. Yire-Alba is a city divided into districts, each district ruled by a gang, each gang led by a person titled Archon. The Archons often fought between themselves in attempt to take control of the entire city, but at the beginning of this story they had been stuck in a stalemate for a decade.

In this Yire-Alba, there is a place which was not ruled by any of the Archons. It was called Dirt Town, and it was the largest slum in Oblivion. Surface-wise it was half the size of the rest of the districts combined but its population was twice as high. It was a terribly crowded place where all kinds of scum and lowlife made their dens.

In this Dirt Town, there is an orphanage. In this orphanage a strange, but powerful old man called Fritz gathered unfortunate children who were left without parents and protected them from the harshness of the world.

Alas, the old man Fritz is on his deathbed and the Dirt Town Orphans – which is the name given to them by the other denizens of the Dirt Town and which the old man Fritz adopted – are now left to fend for themselves.

Will they manage to carve out their place under the sun or will they be devoured by the cruel world of Oblivion? Well, that’s what this story will try to find out!


The Dirt Town Orphans RP is inspired by Saints Row games in that it is about gangs vying for control over a city in an over the top fashion. It is also inspired by Dragon Age 2, in that it will follow PCs rise to power and wealth in the city over the course of many years. Final – and most important because it kickstarted the whole thing – inspiration comes from the story of Emperor Kellanved from the “Malazan: Book of the Fallen” novels and how he went from being a tavern owner to being the emperor of the world’s most powerful empire.

The main idea is for PCs to make their own story. I am not going to railroad you into fighting this boss then that boss then another boss. You pick your own fights and alliances. I also won’t create my own PC who will act as the leader of the Orphans – you players will have to sort that among yourselves. I will just provide you with the playground, the sandbox, and it is up to you to make something out of it. Whatever you choose, though, don't think I'll make it easy!

Name: Zahny (Z-on-e) Zahn is his last name (he thinks)

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Background: Zahn is very energetic and happy all the time, However he takes every bump in life as a challenge and when he fails he either he gets very pissed or super depressed. He thinks his name is Zahn because it is the only noise he could remember when he was rescued, thinking it must be his name some how it stuck. Zahn has been scraping by, by stealing food and the necessities for the longest time, fortunately being rescued by the orphanage. Since he has been at the orphanage he had worked a lot on his movement and agility keeping his thieving skills close at hand. When Fritz died Zahn went straight back to his thievery, providing for himself and others.

Equipment: A small dual bladed dagger that he stole as well as a stash of throwing knives and (throwing) nails. All of which is of course stollen

Level: 1

Attribute: Finesse

Skills: Acrobatics, sleight of hand, incredible vision

Affinity: Wind

Gift: He can manipulate his magic to help him jump and move faster or quieter even in mid air.

@Zi Can you expand it a bit? Like, why does he think that's his name, what was he doing before being found by Fritz, how does he feel about his life in the orphanage, etc. You don't have to go big as Rune_Alchemist, but a bit more info would be appreciated ^^"

@Rune_Alchemist Nope, not at all. It's great!

I should prolly make an OOC now...
