I’ve worked min wage jobs and I’ve done the bare minimum and have still gotten the measly ten cent raises yearly and good references from them. There really is no point, bare minimum gets you by.
OOC is up, and since you were the first seven to post in here, You get a reserved slot. Just post within 3 days in the OOC so I know that you're still interested.
When the US announced in 2012 that supernatural creatures such vampires, werewolves, demons, and shapeshifters were real, it was first met with healthy skepticism. The evidence was doctored, some said. Others thought it was some poor sad excuse of an April Fool's Joke. But the New Year's Massacre quickly made the public realize that supernaturals were real, when a dozen werewolves decided to rampage through a celebrating crowd in bloodlust. The NYPD was ill prepared for this sort of threat, and as a result almost all of the first responders on the scene were maimed or simply killed. Lead bullets seemed to do nothing. Tear gas barely made them slow down. Tasers were laughably ineffective. It was not until the fifth hour of the massacre were they stopped, when the military simply decided to bring in several Apache helicopters to unload all of their munitions on the rampaging supernaturals. However, by then, hundreds had died.
Their motive was never discovered, nor was the common man too terribly interested on why it happened. No, they were more interested in defending their families from the "Supernatural" threat. The public demanded that these supernaturals be persecuted with extreme prejudice. Soon after the New Year's Massacre, several devices were created in order to detect any supernaturals hiding among the human population. If any supernaturals found, they were to be subdued and shipped to "internment camps", in order to figure out if each supernatural were a threat to the people. Heavily armed police and military personnel went door to door, searching for these supernaturals. Some came peacefully, other violently. Other countries quietly followed America's example, fearful of a similar massacre occurring in their borders. There was little success for advocacy for supernatural rights, as many in the public viewed them to be monsters.
Several years has passed since the "Supernatural Apartheid". You are one of the supernaturals unlucky to find themselves in an Internment camp built for supers. In reality, It is nothing more than an over glorified concentration camp, with supernaturals left to die. However, a representative of the government has approached you inside the camp, offering you a choice. Stay in the camp and rot to death, or come work for the government as part of a secret black ops team. Make no mistake, you are simply fodder for the government. They will send you on missions considered too high risk and profile to send their own human forces in, and if you are caught alive, you simply do not exist to them.
Congrats. You are now nothing but a pawn to your government, in some sort of suicide squad. For now at least, there is No Escape... Basically the premise of this rp is that you, the player, will be part of a Supernatural Black Ops team, with the promise that after four years of service, you will get your freedom. Every supernatural will be kept under a tight leash, and will be killing targets that the government can not usually touch. Targets will vary. Perhaps late into the rp you may plan to escape the government's control, but for now, it seems you are stuck killing whoever the government wishes to die for the foreseeable future. Or at least four years.
Please note that all of your characters agreed to be part of this team. You can hate it of course, but generally all characters have agreed to go along with the killings for now.
Rules: 1. Don’t be an asshole. I have to say it, someone will probably be one anyway. Treat everyone with respect.
2. If you have a problem with someone, PM them or PM me. Don’t air out your dirty laundry please, just causes unnecessary drama.
3.I don’t expect you to be Shakespeare, but casual standards still apply. At least a paragraph, and decent grammar.
4. No OOC talk in IC please. I will probably set up a skype chat or something so OOC isn’t too spammy. Maybe.
5. Please inform me if you believe you cannot post for a while. I know, life happens, but if I get a heads up it will make my job much much easier. Do note I do have power to move your character around though.
6. I would prefer everyone just used one character, but if you really want, you can try to convince me you can take two. Any more than that is a no no, and again, if you want two, you need to personally request it.
7. I reserve the right to refuse any character as I see fit, but I will give you the reason why and how I would like it changed. Please don’t fight me on this one. If you do I will simply reject your CS.
8. PLEASE do not post in the character tab until you are accepted. Post in the OOC first please.
9. If you want sexy time, keep it to PMs please. I don’t care if you’re like holding hands or kissing, but any further than that take it to PMs. I doubt this rule will ever come up, but hey, covering all bases.
10. No godmod, no autohit, no autododge. That just makes every fight bland. Sure you can dodge once in a while, but if you do that every fight, that's just boring.
11. Just be chill, and I will be chill as well.
Character Slots: 7/7 Taken, Full Unfortunately, this rp will have limited spots, and many slots have been taken from the interest check, but check back just in case anyone doesn’t claim their reserved spot within three days, which then their reserved spot will be open for grabs. Will be updating these slots daily.

Remember to put the appearance in the CS. Name:(Self Explanatory) Age:(Self Explanatory) Gender:(If applicable) Species:(What sort of supernatural are you?) Abilities/Powers:(List your abilities and powers and why the govt would see it useful.) Weakness/Control:(List how the government is able to control you. I would like this to be a PHYSICAL way of control. For example, a vampire could have a irremovable collar that would pump liquid silver into their bloodstream, killing/crippling them immediately.) Personality: (If you wish, you can say TBA. I know a lot of people don't necessarily stick to the personality they list in their CS anyway.) History: (Were they born in the camp? Caught? What did they do before they were approached? How did they react to being approached?) Relationships/Opinions: (optional, but if you really wish to do this go ahead. It adds some more flavor to the CS.)
Hhhhh, multiple post per week and with a large group at that. It's going to be a mess. You would actually spend a lot more time reading than writing and that's a lot more time wasting than writing a simple post.
*Shrug* There is going to be a cut off point. I only put large group because I want at least 5 players. I'm not completely sure at where the cut off will be if I have to, but I will turn people down if it gets crowded.
Edit: I will prob cut off at 7 players max after some thought.

I really want this rp to thrive, as it's an idea I've been toying with for ages, so yes, I will be looking for frequent posts. No, I'm not asking you to post everyday, but I would want you to post a few times a week. Sorry, it's just that I find most rps die when people stop posting for a while. That being said, I am usually lenient and if you are truly busy, I will control your character somewhat so other players can still advance in the plot. I won't bug you to post everyday, but I will probably be trying advancing the plot at least once a week, so keep that in mind. I will be attempting to be a decent gm, but if players don't post I can't do much.
If this rp gets enough interest, I will post a thread further detailing CS application, rules, and more plot. Feel free to ask me any questions.
Anyway, the point I was trying to make is that not all opinions need to be respected.
Like a lot of the ones in here.
Not mine, though. Mine are good.
Yes, it is within your right to not respect any opinion you like, you have the freedom to do so at will.
I don't think there is a point, however to go in threads like these and try to say you're wrong.
What did you expect to accomplish? It would be like going to a Trump rally or Hillary rally and saying "lol yur candidate suks" and expecting them to get down on their knees, crying that they have seen the way and that their candidate actually sucks. No. All you will get are angry people, and it would be justified too.
If you don't like these opinions or think they're fucking retarded, you're not going convince anyone that they are wrong in here. You'd do the opposite actually.
I believe the point of this thread was to let people air out ideas that may seem shocking to the general population, not to debate whether these ideas are bigoted, horrible, or reasonable.
TL;DR: Yes, you have the right to say their opinions are stupid, but there's no point. That's not what this thread is for. Yes, the opinions stated may seem bigoted or narrow minded, or ignorant, but the whole thread is about ideas like that. If you don't like it, simply don't go here.
>Be a black man in 1960s Alabama >Accidentally look at a white woman >Gets snatched late at night >Klansmen about to lynch you >Some guy comes up >"Gotta respect their opinions, man."
I don't agree with most of the opinions in this thread, but did you really equate a lynching to someone saying they don't believe in gender politics or think that the nazis weren't war criminals?
Shit, I'd say the nazi were war criminals, and it's stupid to think otherwise, but I'm not going to spam a thread and PRETEND PEOPLE EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH ARE LIKE THE KKK LYNCHING AN AFRICAN AMERICAN.
Yeah some of the things said in here are probably not... decent at all IMO, but it's not my place or yours to become the MORALITY POLIS. I'm not going to go apeshit and start harassing anyone with an opinion other than mine.
Jesus. I suppose we better figure out who everyone in this thread lives, since they are lynching people with their words mayne. THEY LYNCHING PEOPLE WITH WORDS MAN WORDS!!! GAME OVERRRR!!!!
THEY HAVE TRANSCENDED THE MORTAL REALM, AS THEY ARE ABLE TO SMITE ANYONE BY TYPING SOME WORDS IN AN ONLINE FORUM! THEY ARE TRULY VENGEFUL GODS, HERE TO STRIKE FEAR IN US MERE MORTALS!
Quite possibly the stupidest false equivalence I have heard in a while.
