WELCOME
Well you made it here
Which means the button is working
I hate when things don't work
Well hate is a strong word
How about it upsets me?
This is the part where I try and explain myself and what I’m after
First off I am Rumi to those that don’t know me yet and this is another strange vision I’ve had which I call “Empty City” but then you already knew that.
It begins for each of us when we become a statistic, a missing person back on earth and suddenly find ourselves somewhere else; “In a City with no people”
An obvious thing is that none of us are older than 21 or younger than 16 (I don’t like little kids in my rp and don’t want old grizzled war vets with tons of combat skills) and there is a reason which might be obvious to all or something I can help you discover.
You came in with the clothes on your back and not much else
Now if I haven’t bored you already let me say thanks for sticking around
Now this RP takes place in a strange city which the players can and could live out their lives fat happy and anchored...maybe even making little fat ones to live on after you.
You could after you get ready for it go exploring where the Roads go but I think a Big question you might want to know the answer to is; ”Why the sun never seems to move?”
Sure there are other questions
1. Where does the food and clothes come from?
2. Who built all this?
3. What happened to them?
4. Why did I rate this 18+? Because I thought it might be nice to have some room to be yourself but warning all the stuff that could get me banned or the RP closed are not allowed unless you want to go PM
5. And so many more but to answer them might spoil a few things (If you buy a cheat book with your newest game then just stop playing)
Now onto the dull part; “Character Creation and the Complicated CS
Character Sheet
Picture Anime Acceptable if you like
Name
Age
Description, Write a Novel of your character’s daring deeds, flights of fancy if you like or a description of height or weight.
That’s it, sorry to be so demanding
(I don’t want to spoil my surprises so you too can have secrets...warning no hidden Tigers of the Red Temple Masters of Kung Fu or super geniuses..boring)
Set Up
The characters will begin spread out in a large city waking in their own beds, in their own bedrooms, in their house, apartment, or Cardboard box. The First thing people notice is that it is so quiet it’s creepy. Step outside and you notice the air even smells different; cleaner as in freaky clean.
There is no street traffic and if you have a car it smells new car clean when you open the door.
Move 3 blocks from your home and it all gets really strange; there are stores that were once several miles away and if you lived in the country then it noticeable right away because there are buildings across the forest or fields where there were none before.
Next are the streets and everywhere around you, they are clean of trash, the grass mowed, bushes trimmed, leaves raked, the landscaping is perfect everywhere and strangest of all perhaps are those areas near your home that had memorable Graffitti it is still there.
The buildings are empty of people, pets and even furniture; there aren’t even cars on the streets or in the parking spaces but look for a dealership and there it is and it even has a moderate number of cars waiting to be sold. The same can be said of a river that winds its way through the town where marina have only boats near the dealerships. (Nothing larger than a 60 footer)
Then there are the stores filled with food, clothing, furniture and electronics; and yes there is still an operating internet and that again is empty of activity. Goggle, Bing or what have you still gives the answers to questions like it did back home but no answers to what the hell or where the hell you are. I leave it up to the players to decide if they and another player meet in a chat, forum or other social site.
Then perhaps after a bit the clouds clear and you see what must be a mirage because instead of the horizon curving down and away it curve up giving you the sensation of being in a bowl; a huge bowl. Next is the sun; it's always high noon; the sun never moves the only thing dimming the sun is a regular passage of clouds thick enough to give the area a twilight quality and a soft rain. Don’t worry there are heavy thunderstorms every few days.
The Feeling
I named it this because that’s what it is a Feeling; a feeling like what one expects a migrating animal might have as the player gets the feeling there is something in a direction which they must go. What is in that direction are other people, the more people the stronger the Feeling.
I know strange power but how else would I get the people together, giggle.
Why all this?
[i]This is to give you answers as far as I may to what your character is going through. I know there seems to be a lack of monsters and danger but who knows what’s beyond your own little corner and lets not forget how freaking creepy it would be to be in an “Empty City”[i]
NEED INPUT
I’d love some story help or requests but must stress I am the Goddess here and mine is the final word...usually is anyway because I babble so much.
Well now to just see if I have screwed this up
