HALT! The not so glorius life of the City Guard.

[Hellis]

They say the City Guard accepts anyone who sign the paper. But I wasn't even given a paper. They just looked at me and went "You'll have to do lad".

Hello! Hellis here. I've been reading a whole bunch of humerous fantasy and Discworld among that. It gave me inspiration for a rp that I think could be extremely fun nad kind of lax in tone. That of playing cityguards in a massive sprawling fantasy city state. This has obviusly drawn inspiration from the Watch story arc of discworld. But no actual knowledge from that is needed as I aim to put it in a world of our own.

The premise is simple. The City of Kings Knell is one of the greatest cities in the world. Over a million people call it their home. While it is predominetly a human city, it has entire neigbourhoods full of dwarves, goblins nad orcs and other non-human races. Sadly, humans are human and discrimination is not uncommon.

You play as part of the the City Guard. The people keeping peace in the city. Only. YOu are all a bunch of runaways, lowlives and others who joined the Guard becouse it can serve as a pardon. And becouse the guard accepts people of ANY race. Even the scarier ones. This rp will be rather light in tone, with focus on character banter and actions. some light story archs will provide direction, but in general, it won't follow a strict path.

Interested sir

[VitriolicQuill]

Who goes there!?
Mirror salesmen.
I don't see anything I like.
That's no reflection on us sir. We don't handle self-esteem issues.

<Hire me?>

[Heyitsjiwon]

Interested as well

[Chromane]

Sounds fun, would certainly be interested!

[Hellis]

I ma happy to see this is gaining some traction

[Deserted]

Great Scott! A game I actually want to join! I am very interested in joining this game.

[Jb]

Interested, but I'll check my schedule to see if I'll get on board. So count this as a 'maybe'. :)

[Bourgeoisie]

interesting.

[HeySeuss]

I feel like I need to think very hard about what sort of being to play. A sentient boar came to mind. Orcs, doing a Jabba Palace Guard getup, limping ex-adventurers. Annoyingly good and gallingly dumb paladin type. You get the idea.

[An Outsider]

Very interested.

[Hellis]

"Annoyingly good and gallingly dumb paladin type."

Carrot? is that you?

[Deserted]

I was thinking of a glory hungry young man that is only good at getting his butt kicked.

[An Outsider]

I have plans to make a chronically lazy shyster who'd rather spend his time doing much more productive things like drinking, whoring and gambling, than he would actually enforcing the law.

Imagine a young, novice magician straight out of the Grand Library who one day saw a fine-looking woman getting her jewels stolen from her neck. In an impulse to impress the lass and be the hero of the day (and possibly the hero of that night too, if you get what I mean ;)) he cast a Sleeping spell aimed at the miscreant.

...But it hit the guard chasing the thief. Not only that, the guard was the guard captain. Not only that, the guard captain fell asleep in the middle of the road. Then got hit by a wagon. That wagon toppled over his sleeping victim and spilled two hundred gold pieces worth of fine dwarven brew. That dwarven brew splashed unto a nearby barbershop's candle and sent a cascade of fire rolling down the streets. Many things were set on fire, but sadly, not the guard captian. The guard captain remained alive to tell the tale, albeit with 33 stitches, 2 healing sessions- to trace it back to the young magician who now ...has to make ammends by spending time in jail or doing the job he hates most, a guard.

Will this work? :))).

Btw: also ...the thief got away.

[Hellis]

@potatochipgolem that is pretty damn hilarius

[Deserted]

I will not be joining any of you. Enjoy your game.

[Hellis]

Still looking for a few more players!
