[OOC] Devils of the Slate, a Dyomi tale

[Jasper19]

Welcome To Dyomi

Welcome to the city of Dyomi! A city that greatly resembles 1840's Victorian era London. The city after realizing the use of steampower had a great industrial revolution and is now it's world's leading industrial superpower. With this great wealth comes corruption though, gangs and a drug named Parem dominate the streets of Dyomi and politicians aren't much help as the gangs have most of them tucked in their pocket. Poverty and addiction is high as merchants hoard all the money they make poverty ,addiction and crime is especially high in a area of the city named "The Slate" which is in fact where most of the gangs work out of. To combat the rising crime rates the King and the merchant council has issued a policy stating that weapons cannot be on one's person or out in the open. The gangs have found a way to combat this though through the use of cane swords, brass knuckles , chains, illegal prosthetic modifications etc, just the place for a young and upstart little bugger like you ehh?

But let's talk more about the city shall we? The city of Dyomi is the largest city of the country known as Dyaomesh a medium sized island in the eastern part of the Torenson sea. It's largest trade partners are counties named Zemeni(this world's version of america) , Zhu Han(essentially china) , and Mavika(essentially Russia ). The docks are on the west side of the city and the Dens of various thing on the east, with the Slate being the Southside of the city and the merchants houses and government buildings being on the north side. A river runs through the middle of the city and the most popular way to get around is by foot though the richer merchants and leaders of the gangs will take carriages.

The Gangs

The DimeLions

The DimeLions

The DimeLions are Dyomi's most prevalent and powerful gang. They have their "claws" in everything be it Gambling dens, brothels ,underground fightclubs and Parem dens to politics and shipments and they even have a few merchants in their pockets as well, their leader is named Jonathon Morris and is a cruel sadistic man who only accepts the "elite " of the street scum. Their symbol is a lion with a broken crown

The RazorGulls

The RazorGulls

The RazorGulls are the closet thing Dyomi has to pirates. They patrol the docks and harbors or Dyomi usually taking a "cut" of shipments from whoever is leaving or entering the harbor. They also harass dock workers to get a cut of their weekly salary. The RazorGulls are the gang with the most merchants in their pockets giving them an edge on knowing when shipments come out and come in. Their leader is Faris O'Donald and he is a slightly lazy man who has been known to make his lackies meet in his place. The RazorGulls symbol is a black Gull with white tipped wings.

The PitVipers

The PitVipers

The PitVipers are Dyomi's kings when it comes to addiction no matter the type. They own the most gambling dens ,brothels ,Parem dens , and underground fightclubs. They also have the most swindlers in the city usually taking advantage of the naive tourists and pick their pockets. Their leader is named Sebastion Rosalie, their symbol is a rattlesnake ready to strike.

@Jasper19
Could our gang's hideout be located under a pub or do you already have a different place in mind?

[Jasper19]

@rush99999 there are going to be based out of the Slate , but there are a bunch of pubs in the Slate and I like that idea of them being under a pub so yeah why not it will be a good hideout

[Jasper19]

Also if you guys are wondering if your characters may have been affiliated with the other gangs then yes they could have been

Redacted

[ningal700]

Potentially interested in role of the inventor, since that’s the only role left. Would you mind if I apply? I can’t get on a computer atm, but I may still try to create a bio from my phone. And if I post a CS should I do so here in OOC, or in the characters tab?

[Jasper19]

@ningal700 you can apply I do not mind and yes put it in the characters tab

[Jasper19]

@ningal700 alrighty it looks good , though does she live in the Slate or the upper part of Dyomi?

[Jasper19]

@ningal700 also the inventor will be the one who makes gadgets and such for the gang so I assume she does that by having a higher education from coming from a rich family ?

[ningal700]

Her parents will have lived in the upper part (assuming that would be a place of money and higher status), but she now resides in the Slate area, sort of street rat style. I will add this to the bio. And yes, to her parents’ dismay no doubt, she had plenty of time to read and create since she had so much free time left alone in her room or wandering the city, and also had access to disposable income when she was in her family’s good graces, so she took apart objects and invented gadgets for fun in her lonesome.

[Jasper19]

@ningal700 alrighty and yes the northern part is where the wealthier citizens reside , have you read the first post? If not it describes each gang and the city and such

[ningal700]

Ahhhh yes I read it (and now re-read it), my apologies I see what you mean as you have the upper part listed as the north side there. So yes her parents home was in the north side and now she has made her way more south side then, although I meant for her to be living more on outskirts of the slate, no distinct home. And I guess my question is, so I need to pick a specific gang for her to be affiliated with then if she is the inventor? Or is that going to be more making gadgets for just any character/gang member who needs them? Due to her field of work she was most likely going to be involved with the PitVipers but that’s out of necessity and not allegiance

[Jasper19]

@ningal700 well in my interest check I put the plot and what's going to happen is that our characters and up getting together to build their own gang which they will do through various heists and other things later in the story

[ningal700]

Okay thanks good to know haha. Yes I was definitely planning to have her use her skills to help the group so that sounds great. I didn’t see the interest check, to be honest I am an old role player and I don’t use this site much because it usually ends up taking weeks for the GMs to start, or there aren’t enough people, and I don’t like to jump into a story that’s already hundreds of posts in. But I’d love to roleplay more again and am really interested in the concept. Do you know when you’ll be making the first IC post?

[Jasper19]

@ningal700 once I get everyone's character sheets then I will make the first IC post and we will be good to start roleplaying

[Jasper19]

I only need like three more I need @KZOMBI3 ,@rush99999, and [@Entleins]

[Jasper19]

Also what do you guys think of a post order?

[ningal700]

I personally don’t like forced posting order, however I think it depends on how active everyone is and I am not a double poster IC. But obviously your thread, your rules lol just my 2 cents.

[Jasper19]

Hmm tbh I don't like posting orders either so as long as everyone let's each other post and such I think we should all be good

[Sharidi37495]

@Jasper19 Not a big fan, personally, except in group fights
