Immortals of Cacia


Year 2124.
The City of Cacia - Comprised of districts of ‘Under’ and ‘Over’. Previously known as ‘New York’.
The Great American Empire.



The year’s 2124, the height of humankind’s technological advancements. The world has forgotten the sight of tree’s, of grass, of fresh waters – now consumed with the inescapable sight of glowing skyscrapers, concrete, metal, and factories. The world’s largest city, Cacia, occupying the entirety of the ancient ex-state New York, is the greatest hive of human activity. Construction beginning in the latter half of the 21st century, progress fueled by America’s devastating victory after victory in their global conquest to unite the Earth under one flag; resources from all over the world were pressed into this one location to make it the international capital. And that’s not the half of it (literally). Beneath the earth’s crust, another layer of humanity: an equally large city beneath the ground that the richer surface-dwellers dare not touch – this is where poverty is compressed into a violent, uncontrollable yet contained bubble, out of the minds of the rich and powerful. To merely observe the sky is a privilege dictated by money. This is the Under District, the city under the Over District, both a part of Cacia. In the slums of the Under District, crime and gang warfare wage endlessly, fear and panic rife like disease – it is here that the biggest unspoken conflict of the world is being hosted.

No one knows where they came from. No one knows why they can do what they can, if they are ever left alive after witnessing them. But the fact remains they are there. The five near-immortal factions: The Ghosts, The Bloodless, The Witch-Cats, Parasites, and The Endless. Each comprised of beings with undocumented powers which extend their longevity. Born with it, and undetectable unless provoked in unlikely circumstances; they spend their days recruiting and fighting over the territory they need to free themselves from the hell-hole of Under... to escape into the lights of Over. Each of their numbers are very low, perhaps they could be far more if only they had a way of discovering more of their kin? Invisible to the naked eye, the possessors of these powers walk unnoticed amongst the common people.

This is where our story begins, in this underground slum. What will you fight for?
_______________________________________________________

The lore is not completely fleshed out because I think it's important in this kind of roleplay to have some creative freedom with the plot and plot mechanics amongst all players involved, so that it becomes just as much your world as mine. As long as we discuss as a group, we can flesh out new concepts and detail existing ones.
_______________________________________________________

Roleplay Rules:
1) No unchallenged actions. Eg. "And then I punched (so-and-so's character) in the face."
2) Discuss in the OOC about lore you want to alter / expand on before doing so in the IC.
3) Everyone posts one introductory post and does not post after until everyone has.
4) You have sovereign control over the actions of the NPC's you create. As GM, my only authority lies in lore-shaping: I will be playing alongside as a character too.
5) You may post as many times as you like except you cannot post twice in a row, only post if the last post wasn't yours. However, and it must be done swiftly, you must alter your posts (like in events in which two people post simultaneously) to make sure it does not contradict other posts.
6) Submit your character for approval in the OOC - Do not post either in the IC or Character Page until confirmed
