Thread theme.
Sleeping in your one room apartment, you began to hear a noise ticking away in your ears. Well, ears were the wrong term for it; it felt like your ears, but it was really the copper in your brain. A voice was echoing through you, it spoke of the end of the city. Far above you it was known by many that the city never ended, but rumors had long circulated of the tower that reached above it all. Images were transmitted into your brain through the receivers behind your eyes: a prize beyond your wildest dreams, a promise of godlike power, or a cure to all illnesses. Your greatest desire, at the end of the city.

Welcome to the City of Dark Rain, the never ending megapolis.
You are one of many who has received a signal from the end of the city. As the rain pounds down against your cheap glass windows, you must now ponder what you desire and if it is worth finding.
This is an RP focused around individual characters and their exploration of an infinite city. I will act as a GM and provide obstacles/updates for each character or group as they wander the city in search of the signal.
Combat is a focus of the story but not the only one and only if it is something two characters would organically engage in. I want to see different pairings of characters and interpersonal relations leading to different outcomes. I want mystique, romance, noire, and drama with an edge of action and slice of life in the city.
There will be elements of a battle royale at play, with a combat system focusing on clever writing and environmental awareness.
The signal itself has come with coordinates and, as such, each player will be expected to be on the path of finding the unending treasures at the "end of the city". This means players will be routed into eachother frequently and expected to speak, ally, or combat.
There is no real limit as to what you can play and what your end goal is here. Players are encouraged to diversify their goals, ranging anywhere from a doctor hoping to cure disease to an android girl wanting to cause the end times.
Fighting is allowed and encouraged. This is an exodus to the furthest reaches of a technological wonder and the winner takes all.
More music for character creation/writing fun.
Please show interest here if you wish to see this grow into a thread, I am new to the site so I am actually uncertain if this is the right place to post this (though not new to RP by any stretch).
We will be accepting somewhere around six to ten characters, though the story will be very NPC heavy due to its nature.
Character death will be a possibility, and if your character dies having a second one ready to roll is a good idea.
Any combat will be done post by post with me, as GM, deciding what happens next depending on character actions. This alleviates complications involved with dice rolling or autohitting. Following player posts I will create an update documenting what happened between each player as well as their current statuses and location.
As of now we are still accepting characters up to an arbitrary limit. Please post your characters in this thread using the template below.
