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 tried this somewhere around a year ago, sadly it never really took off. I am now trying again, as it is a setting i burn for and really feel has the potential for longivety. Its a very light hearted take, and I plan on having fun with the common fantasy tropes and hope you will join me in playing as dysfunctional guards in a massive fantasy city.
The premise is simple. The City of Kings Knell is one of the greatest cities in the world. The kind of massive sprawling city you see in movies and books with its spires, alleys and exotic shops. Home for over a million denizens, not all of them human and a quite few less then savory. While it is predominetly a human city, it has entire neigbourhoods full of dwarves, goblins, orcs and other non-human races. Many of said races have at one point invaded the city and briefly ruled as its ruling class. Leading to a constant squabble about who should be the leaders of the city.
You play as part of the the City Guard. The people keeping peace in the city. There is a caveat. You are all a bunch of runaways, lowlives and others who joined the Guard because it can serve as a pardon. And because 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.
