Hello! Mind if I jump in? :)

Bitter City (Icepick & Fiendfyre)

“Cities were always like people, showing their varying personalities to the traveller. Depending on the city and on the traveller, there might begin a mutual love, or dislike, friendship, or enmity. Where one city will rise a certain individual to glory, or destroy another who is not suited to its personality, however this isn't any normal city; The city of Destin.. Will consume you whole, no-matter who you are and how long you've been there, it will strike you down where you feel most safe and take all that you hold dear, like the person it truly represents, only time will tell whether the city or the person will strike first."

Welcome to Destin, the Bitter City.



THE CITY

Destin city, the place where the gleam of headlights shine through the flood of rain at night, a city of opportunists and a place where a man can call home and also his grave, a city of dreamers and fiends, but not everything is as it seems in this city of dreams, the dark paradise which has no boundaries to be seen.

Located within the American state of Massachusetts, Destin finds itself as a dark calculative city with a waterfront view. The city is described as being dark and usually overcast, plagued by lightning storms and strong winds, especially within the winter months. This is a result of cold winds being blown in from the east, bringing lot's of rain with it. Due to the usual overcast weather, the city is known to be dark, illuminated by nothing but street lights and the bright gleam of car headlights.

The city is divided into four separate districts, each district totalling up a total area of around 230 km in diameter, the city is close to the size of Boston, it's nearest neighbour on the east coast. These districts range between upper class and lower class housing locations.

- Pierson: Known as the upper class location of the city, filled with the majority of stores and shopping districts, this location also holds many landmarks and tourist destinations as well as many high-rise buildings and public parks, this location is usually incredibly busy and congested and although the winter weather is cold and rainy, the people of the city don't appear to be scared about exploring this district at any time during the day; crime is also very low in this location due to a high police presence but it's still a possibility.

- Wallace: Middle class homes can be found here, featuring streets of small businesses and cafe's. The location is usually rather pleasant but troublemakers are not uncommon, police are seen patrolling regularly and they ensure that this location of the city is mostly safe, although several murders and assaults have occurred here in the past. The location has direct access to the main freeway of the city as well as entry to the other districts. It's guaranteed that you will pass through here to get anywhere else.

- Old Town - Jefferson: The original Industrial centre of the city; filled with many industrial businesses and warehouses. A thick smog fills the location and is not pleasant to behold although some tourist locations are found here for those that wish to view the original steal work factories that the city was originally built around. Crime activity here is fairly high as many gangs use the warehouses as locations to carry out drug deals and carry out business, assaults are also common.

- Greirson Mile: The most dangerous part of the city, tourists are advised not to visit here as it is considered the worst place to live on the east coast of the united states. Crime is through the roof, there is weekly assault charges and a high increase of murders committed here, homes are usually slums and unpleasant to look at. The police generally avoid this area unless completely necessary. The location is also built into a lowering slope so the area is incredibly wet and tends to flood during rainfall.

WALLACE AVENUE POLICE DEPARTMENT



“People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men and women stand ready to do violence on their behalf.”

Wallace Avenue Police Station is the largest in the city and is situated within the centre of the city, It's incredibly busy and deals with all forms of law reinforcement from domestic deputes to grand theft auto. There is several level to the station, each with varying forms of detective cases for different forms of desks ranging through homicide, arson, vice and traffic disputes. Each division has a large office space staffed by a selection of detectives and administration staff, may of them are new to the job while several others have lived through the worst of what the city has had to offer.

Police Chief Inspector O'Donnell

officially a captain within formal police rankings, O'Donnell has been in police work for the past thirty-five years as a homicide detective. He now runs and operates the homicide division within Wallace Avenue Police Station; he is known to have a firm nature around him, a grizzled and strong edge which is something that is required of an individual that must live within a city such as Destin. He is strict and harsh on his fellow detectives, he expects the best and he expects results, especially when he has to report to the district attorney regularly with status updates. Most of the time he can be found in his office but in rare occasions he will attend crime scenes when required.

Doctor Samuel Hertzin

Dr Hertzin is a professional in his field. He assists at crime scenes and gives medical advice and observations to the detectives; this man has seen a lot of death, many blank white faces with emotionless expressions yet he doesn't appear to be fazed by it. Serving the police as a coroner for the past thirty years he has worked tirelessly to find relevant evidence found within the bodies of victims, making him a professional at autopsy and analysis, if anything needs checked or investigated further within the medical field, Samuel is the person to go too.

CASES

Okay boys and girls, here are some reports that have come in this week, they all have to be covered so get too it, I expect results.

---

THE BLOODY BUSINESS CASE

Dispatch received a call this morning about a deceased white male, believed to be in his late thirties, formal attire, appears to be a business man; He has been found by a hotel maid at around 6PM today at the Reenoa Hotel, down at 372 Rendis avenue which has a history of being run by the mob; Classy place. Police and the coroner are already there, as well as the female maid who is a witness to the possible murder is also on site and will meet you there, get to it and see what you can find.

---

THE DROWNED PLAYGROUND CASE - CURRENT CHOSEN CASE

Last week the local precinct received a missing person report, Twelve year old white male, the boy's name is believed to be Bradley Miles; Black hair, green eyes and has a small birth mark on his cheek, he went missing on his way back from school. This morning a construction worker down by the city freeway underpass at 61 Rellis street found a diseased victim that appears to match our missing child report, it's a troubling case but we have to do it, it may not even be a murder as suicide is also on the table. Police are already there as well and the coroner, and remember your raincoat, it's horrible out there today.

---

THE DRUGGED BUTTERFLY CASE

Young white female victim, believe to be in her early twenties was found overdosed in her home this morning by her partner at around 8am. The substance in which she overdosed on is still unknown but the coroner will give more details after the autopsy. The thing which brings our attention to this case is the fact that she appears to have severe bruising and signs of strangulation around her neck, lack of a rope also indicates that this was not suicide. She is also naked so rape is also possible. Police and coroner are on site and the area is taped off; and be careful about this one, it's a rough neighborhood, down at 87 Gernit avenue, good luck.

---

The rain continues to pour in the cold unforgiving city; for two detectives, one more experienced than the other a new partnership is to be born within the abyss of the city, working together to uncover the mysteries of evil and bring justice to those who have been lost, however this is a difficult business and outside of the work of policing the two detectives both hold private lives, their own problems and ideals and thoughts that they must live with for the rest of their days; only time will tell where they will end up in the city, but for now it's a mystery flooded in the rain.

This is their story.

1x1 - Bitter City - FxM Crime scene investigation - Detective Roleplay - Looking For Males!

“It had always been a part of their job which they in turn found difficult, the total lack of privacy for the victim. Murder stripped away more than life itself. The body was parcelled, labelled, dissected; address books, diaries, confidential letters, every part of the victim's life was sought out and scrutinised. Alien hands moved among the clothes, picked up and examined the small possessions, recorded and labelled for public view the sad detritus of sometimes pathetic lives.”

“The victims of homicide are the only ones who carry the true secrets of humanity to the grave. The ones only God knows”

Destin, a city not unfamiliar to the plague of crime, drugs, homicide - A place where the gleam of headlights shine through the flood of rain at night, a city of opportunists and a place where a man can call home and also his grave, a city of dreamers and fiends, but not everything is as it seems in this city of dreams, the dark paradise which has no boundaries to be seen.

Hello everyone! So I thought that it would be interesting to set up a dark and fairly emotional RP based upon the life of two crime scene detectives, throughout the role-play they will be given multiple cases that they can choose from, they will both be newly introduced to each-other and learning more about each-other as the RP develops, this RP will be a M x F paring where I will be the Female characters.

If you have a problem with gore, mature themes and swearing, this is not the roleplay for you! You must also be dedicated to this RP and post regularily!

More Lore and understanding will be given when we start out pairing, let me know if you have any questions or suggestions! And please sent me a PM if you are interested! :)

“Which is the true nightmare, the horrific dream that you have in your sleep or the dissatisfied reality that awaits you when you awake?” - Justin Alcala

---

Darkness – Nothingness – Oblivion

There was nothing; neither to be seen, heard, nor smelled amongst the abyss; not even time had a meaning, an understanding a reality nor a purpose. Nothing existed nothing had been, no indication of a past, present, future- Something difficult to understand nor comprehend to the inhabitants of a world not yet born.

A world, not yet born... or in this story, worlds.

------

A blue orb of light pierced through the nothingness, a reality born yet reborn; a nothingness now something within the void of existence. The orb, a rune of stone and iron illuminated through the void like a brilliant comet of blue, paving a way for reality and existence in a world once cold and dark. A thunderous sound erupted from the object, the first thing to ever be played, yet unheard to ears. Stretching into the darkness, the rune imprinted a blueprint of rock and stone before itself, generating a vast terrain, a foundation to lay itself upon within the darkness.

The rune relaxed, laying stationary within the confines of a mighty chasm or mountainous rock and confined steel, the rune displayed signatures of ancient markings and glyphs, a mystery which would possibly never been discovered nor understood.

As the newly generated construct of time panned onward, the rune brought shape to gravity as several towering rocks and began to spiral and rotate around a newly erupting blue beam of energy, so brilliant and bright yet blue like a sapphire.

Within this beam, a new reality was taking form, a reality built by two fundamental factors, shared between each half of the rune stone. These factors were the brilliance of science and the wonders of magic, two equally powerful elements that would soon take form to create a reality, a world in which both strived and lived together in equal harmony.

Yet, something was awry, the towering mountain in which the stone, the keeper had called home began to quake violently with violent force. The rune itself then began to tremor, the rock and metal within the very object would begin to rip itself apart with each passing moment. Eventually the rune could no longer take the pressure, cracking into two individual halves bringing an immediate imbalance to the generation of the new reality.

Both Science and Magic had been split, pathing way into two similar realities, alternative dimensions each with the same building blocks of life which are completely mirrored to each other besides the difference in governing rules that had created them.

In view from the Keeper, two colossal portals could be observed from the distance, a gateway to each universe, a look into a similar yet vastly different world.

As the light begun to fade from the centre of the stone, a mysterious figure passed towards it on foot, observing it with translucent eyes – a figure not yet known nor understood but with a motivation soon to be made clear.

The figure watched timelessly through the portals of each reality, it's eyes focused upon two sisters, living within either reality. Each the same as their alternative selves yet also different in certain aspects, each identical couple being split by reality and time, living in similar circumstances. Violet and Viola the same essence of a singular girl split between realities while her sister shared the same fate, split in similar circumstances as Addison and Adelaide.

In the days of present vivid dreams, dreams of each-other begun to plague the minds of both Violet and Viola, dreams of viewing into each of their realities which felt far too real to be a dream.

Besides their own vastly different worlds, they both dreamed about the mysterious reality, the keeper, the vortex of existence yet somehow they could communicate within this space... It was truly a mystery to them, something they couldn't comprehend but somehow, they were connected.. and yet unknown to their sisters, so were they.

An event was coming, something unexpected, and awakening as the rune within the realm of the keeper, as the beings eyes focused in and the rune began to tremble once again.

The reality of science

---

A world formed by science and industrial might, the people of Cyris embraced the wonders of knowledge and understanding; giving them the will and power to construct wondrous cities, advances in transportation, robotics and extremely advanced power sources; with such unbelievable levels of technological prowess, city 24, one of the leading and largest cities within Cyris to be born, build and designed by some of the greatest minds that humanity had to offer. Instead of countries, cities took their place, some so large that they span thousands of miles in all directions, City 24 being no exception in this matter.

Like all cities and places with a large populace, there are several district that accommodate those dependant on their importance and personal wealth, however city 24 expresses this with the closer you are to the sky, the higher of importance and personal status you are amongst the other cities inhabitants and the lower you are to the surface, the less desirable you are, a place populated by the poorest of civilians.

The city is split into five separate districts:

Sky District – The sky district is home to city 24’s trillionares, the CEO’s families of several super corporations which now rule the planet, holding more power now that governments ever had done in the past. The district is filled with breath-taking views of the skyline, lush gardens and lakes, simply a utopia of unfathomable beauty, giant glass towers rise up into the sky from the highest platform of the city where the richest people call home. The district is filled with the most luxurious stores, restaurants and public locations, and everybody within this location is of a high social status, district passes are required to access such area’s to keep out undesirables.

Tower District – Although not as beautiful and luxurious as the sky district, the tower district is home to many of the cities millionaires and billionaires, still featuring a view of the sky and beautiful leisure locations, the homes and apartments here are incredibly luxurious, the Tower district is sometimes preferred due to its high quality nightlife and less posh environments when compared to the sky district, although at a lower level from the top, may people would still consider this district ridiculously expensive and unreachable, meanwhile the sky district is the land of gods and queens.

China District – The Upper/Middle ground of the city, unique in styling with an Asian theme featured throughout the dark city streets, famous for its fresh food markets and noodle bars, the majority of highly skilled workers and upper class families live here. The streets are complete with large arrays of neon signs yet with a slightly stronger security presence as climbing higher than this district requires a certain social status, income and permit, meaning many people will never see the light of day.

Industrial District – Home to the lower working class of city 24’s inhabitants. Home to 80% of the cities factories and warehouses, considered to be fairly undesirable, dark and unsuitable for family visitation, although not the worst of all the districts it’s home to many strip clubs, bars and dance clubs, the black market can also be found here as well as a large police presence keeping the peace.

Zero District – Considered as one of the worst possible places to live in the entire city. Located at the surface of the planet itself, a concrete ruin of rock and metal plagued in eternal darkness, a lawless zone with no police presence due to how dangerous and unpredictable the area is. 90% of the city’s crime and homicide cases occur here as well as illegal drug dealing. Its in-fact so dangerous that people born and living above this district level aren’t allowed access as the location is efficiently quarantined, although people do sometimes find ways to slip in and out of this dark forsaken place.

Within the city, the Deveraux twins live within the highest level of the Tower district due to their father’s personal social status and the occupations that they hold, living within a huge apartment complete with five individual floors, the lower three floors making up the bedrooms and living areas for the sisters and their parents, meanwhile the floor above them is the general living area complete with a home cinema, kitchen dining area, above this is the pool and balcony deck with amazing views of the tower district and sky district above.
