The General shape of the roleplay so far

The Grey Faction is the smallest of all the factions within the legion ( Your Faction ). They reside in a small building several leagues away from the Heart District. Far enough away to not bring shame to the magistrate, but close enough to be held on a tight leash. Those who work in the Grey live close by or in their building with a total of twenty members who come and go as they wish. Every day the notice board in the main hall is updated with bounties, assassinations or intrigue missions. They aren’t usually worth much because of the lack of honor detailed in the mission. Often times its only enough to support their meager living expenses.

As of late in the Empire there has been an increase in corruption a Ink born illness. Almost doubling since the last century. The Grey Faction had been tasked with its investigation. Every trail or clue found lead them to a dead end. A suspect had risen up through the various lines of search. Their pseudo name was “The Broken King.” They hadn’t been able to track them down or their hideout. But almost a quarter of all corruption cases lead them to “The Broken King.”

This RP centers around “The Grey Faction” where you are a disgraced legionnaire. Your job is to do the dark bidding of the magistrate. Often working in teams or groups. Other than the various odd jobs the main task for the Grey Faction is in the investigation as to why the Corruption cases have been increasing and to figure out how the “Broken King” is involved.

This will be somewhat Adventure and Slice of life. Where as we live out the lives of our character and also investigate the Broken King. I sort of want this RP to have several Arcs the first one will be the Broken King, and from there more will be planned hopefully with a Co-GM eventually. I want the Tone of the RP to be set by the players. I want cliques to try and be avoided but if your set on it I’ll take it into consideration. Your character should be someone unique to you or your style of general character. Something you can roleplay with ease and feel good with.

If there is enough interest ( 4-5 people ) I'll get to making the Story Thus Far. In Reality, I had a dream last night and this is pretty much what it was about and I thought it would be a great RP.

If there are any questions please feel free to ask me or PM me. I'm going to continue working on this maybe flushing out some details. If something doesn't make sense please let me know.

Super interested. Just a couple questions; Do we have to be a creation or can we be a normal person? Whats the lifespan of a creation? Is there any ranks inside the the faction? (i.e. captain, lieutenant etc.)

Incredibly interested in this. Kind of confused on the 3D 2D character thing though...

Don't necessarily understand the 2D and 3D characters as well. If you could explain, that would be nice. Otherwise, it's an interesting premise.

So Champion, basically it's an alternate world where everyone's drawings and stories have come alive. We would be unaware of the creators. So the Creations can be a normal person. I used creation in an attempt not to confuse people with the real world. If that makes any sense.
There would be ranks among the factions just like a normal military I'm actually flushing them out as we speak so great question. Basically, I'm struggling with names for the ranks. I was thinking about using normal Legion ranks but I can't find one for anything for the common foot soldier.

And basically, creations are immortal, or so we'd be led to believe. They have an incredibly long lifespan but there are suspicions that if a person gets too old they would start to corrupt and eventually have to be put down or even die.

Legatus,Kaz So basically in the Mirror Worlds We would see each other as we do in Real life. That's the 3D aspect, but because we would be drawings or characters from stories. We actually also have a 2D image that's hidden by our 3D image. The 2D image would be like a rough sketch of what we look like, and it would be how we're healed(Fixing creation lines) or we could be modified by adding new ink to it. It is also what can take damage if getting attacked ect, ect. If that makes sense? If not I'll try and explain it a little more.

Also if the whole 2D 3D doesn't make sense, I'll totally change it. I mean its sorta like a side thing in here anyway.

@KazAlkemi Honestly it mostly came from a dream I had. But I had to expand on it a ton.

Ya I read that, if you dreamed that 3D 2D thing that's a very active sub-conscious but if not it's still really creative/outside the box.

Yeah, I second Kaz in saying that that is a creative concept. No need to remove it, really. @TheHeretic, as for the ranks for the regulars who actually fought in formation during the Roman period, I believe that the lowest rank available in a Roman Legion is the Decanus, which is a commander of an 10-man unit, two of whom are helpers, the other eight are foot soldiers. The next lowest would be the Optio, who command 60-man units, so essentially similar to a Lieutenant or Captain in the modern era. Then, of course, there's the more popular Centurion, who command 100 men each (but there are different types of Centurions in the Roman Legions), 20 of whom are helpers, and the remaining eighty are foot soldiers. The most popular subtype of Centurion is the Primus Pilus, who commands a double-strength cohort instead of a single century, which is 800 soldiers and 200 helpers. I hope that helped at least a bit.

@LegatusAugustus Yea that helps a lot actually. I'm in the process of building the Introduction/Story Thus far. And then I'm going to tweak a few details. If you all are interested you can go ahead and submit a character, I think by tomorrow I'll have everything better organized and ready for RP. And of course, anyone after can always jump in if they wish.

Name:
Sorscha
Age:
Ninteen
Character Description:
Sorscha has shoulder length brown hair with a golden shine to it when caught in the morning light. Her hair as a natural wave in it after being washed but it is often found to be pulled back tightly in a high ponytail or clean bun to reveal her sharp cheek bones and strong jaw. Her sea green eyes are matched with the gold flakes found in her hair and are often found searching the others around her for answers. She isn't exactly tall but she isn't short either coming in at a round 5'6" and weighs around 140lbs. She has some weight to her but the majority of it is toned muscle which seems to shine more against her olive complexion. During the summer months freckles can been seen starting to show along the mask of her face, although she detests these it gives her a younger look, perfect for lying low or undercover missions. Sorscha wears a size seven shoe and her hands are average inside but have a hidden strength beneath the callouses and odd smoothness.
Personality: Quiet, protective, loyal. Sometimes loyalty can get you in more trouble than telling the person to get bent. And with Sorscha's history you would think she wouldn't show loyalty to anyone. Sorscha is fiercely loyal but that loyalty is not easily earned; however, once it is earned you will forever have someone on your side. Her quietness can be seen as distance or introverted but in all reality she is listening, she is gathering information to be used at a later date. This way of blending into backgrounds helps her to discover information on people she is searching for for the Magistrate and information on who she is working with; who she can trust, who she can be loyal to. The protective nature she has can be found in almost everyone working for the Magistrate, they are all here to protect something. When you get on Sorscha's good side you get to see a calculated side, a side that is constantly asking questions with brief glimpses of a more feminine smile rather than her constant impish one. Needless to say, you want Sorscha on your side. Who knows what she can tell others about you.
Origin: (What was your Authors intended Origin)
History: (How you came to the Grand Magistrate, or where your homeland was and other information)
Grey Order: (Reason your character was forced into the Grey order)
Place of Residence:
Her room is simply, organized chaos. Depending on what she is sent out to do will depend on the condition of her room and whether she had to leave in a hurry, leaving her room in upheaval or left in a timely manner; therefore able to clean as she gathers. She has a small desk set beside her bed and on the desk always contains a notebook with an assortment of coloured markers for her writing. In one corner a book shelf sits and you can find anything from poetry to history texts on the ever changing lands. Her walls are covered with either landscape or architecture photos and drawings. It is Sorscha's escape, a small place allotted to her and only for her use so it is her sanctuary.
