The Resurrection of Tull. (S.K's The Dark Tower inspired RP)

The town is called Tull, it is a small town somewhere in the middle of a massive dry desert. This town is a shithole, probably the last remaining sign of human civilization in a world that has "moved on". Recently an incident happened where almost or all occupants of Tull got brutally murdered by the hands of a traveling "Gunslinger". The gunslinger has moved on out of town as well, however new individuals seem to take quite an interest in rebuilding Tull.

These individuals, some human, others humans with raven heads and beaks for lips, others demons or gypsy oracles, and some are miserable drunkards. They all have one thing in common, they have a mysterious drive to rebuild Tull, their Ka is to make sure Tull is on its feet for what comes next in the world. These individuals all came from different places, all seeking to rebuild Tull.

As the gunslinger makes his way to the Dark Tower, you make yours to Tull.

Anyone interested?

Post-Cataclysmic Earth

"It is a pleasure Mr. Williams to meet a respectable person of your decree in such a dire time. I am Nathan, Nathan Thumberstock."

Nathan slowly reached for the big man's hand, it felt hot and sweat. It felt like Russia and India, he shook it firmly nonetheless. Hector had managed to tidy up a gizmo, a basic sling, to hold his fracture arm in place. Nathan tried hard not spurt a twig from his nose or a bark from his chest, he tried hard to forget the talking creature. Forget his being as some sort of avatar for a goddess of vengeance, forget this so called Venora. In the company of Hector, it felt like normal times again, regardless of the shifted geography all around.

"I was at the charity alright, I don't make a habit of accepting Pierre's every invitation, but I decided Yellowstone was a good breather. I was shot off from here, in a manner that don't really needs explanation, into some god awful swamp. There seems to be a lot of deaths, I doubt there is a scarcity in survivors"

Nathan walked away, gestured Hector to follow him, he explained that he needed to reach a communication device. Perhaps there are still intact Helicopters left in one of his numerous oil rigs.

"I will see if I can't get a 'copter and just fly off from this mess, there is certainly a room for a respectable peer. Unless you are willing to stay here."

I like how Pierre's children are as disturbed as he is, my my @aladdin_sane good RP (and writing) skills you got there, I am impressed and amused.

I am writing up a post now.

And @Shoryu this RP turned out to be a fucking gold!

In The Shadows of Gotham

@Decker126 wekl everything about his looks fine, but the history needs a bit more content. Like who he was, more on that, and more on his motives to become a vigilante. His sudden decision to become a vigilante in the hospital isn't really effective, maybe a more tragic event Would cause him to take on the mantle of Hollow?

In The Shadows of Gotham

@Dirty Dan

I am extremely happy with what you have managed to create, his history sounds very Gotham and just natural. His skills and appearance all make sense, I really like him and can't wait to see him in action!

Accepted of course!

Do you still have a free spot? I have just finished reading Batwoman and (although pissed about the dreadful ending) I would be definitely up to some batman-ish action.

@Apothecary

Absolutely, it's a big city after all. I never really liked the reboot, except for the Court of Owls thing, that was some sick writing.

In The Shadows of Gotham

It has been 8 years since the Dark Knight was brutally murdered by the hands of Bane, Robin killed by the Joker. The allies of Batman all left the city in grief, some retired from their costumes and others searched the country for new purposes. Gotham has been ever since left alone to battle its own thugs, bank heists, and corruption in the political and police offices.

Ever since Batman was killed, the other villains seemed to disappear as well. It is only the usual thugs and mercenaries, kingpins or rapists terrorizing the streets of Gotham. The people noticed that Batman's demise caused the threatening villains to disappear, so they no longer welcomed smalltime vigilantes or 'heroes'.

A new threat is brewing however, and sightings of the Joker and other villains were reported in the outskirts of Gotham. A hidden community of rookie vigilantes and retired policemen with sense of justice decided it was time to finally come together and battle the upcoming threat. Powered by the inspiration created by the Dark Knight, these vigilantes would band together and bring a brighter future to the crumbling Gotham.

Status Quo

- Batman is dead. Robin is dead. All the other batfolks heroes and heroines have left Gotham.

- Gotham hates vigilantes, 'heroes' is even a forbidden name.

- Corrupt Police, politicians, and drug lords are populating the city.

- For the last 2 years a few vigilantes have appeared, but nothing too big to gather more than a block in the paper's entertainment page. More a ridiculous rant than honest reporting.

- All the other A list villains have disappeared with the Bat. However some of them are returning of recent.

- Arkham Asylum was shut down two years after the Batman was killed, and the Wayne Enterprise is no longer a thing.

- Commissioner Gordon is still around.

Character Creation

Characters created should be normal human beings, as in no magical or paranormal powers. Also extremely well trained or heavily gadgeted characters are discouraged. Keep them real in a sense, something lesser than Batman but with as much sense of justice. They should be flawed, they are striving to be better and make Gotham better.

Anything is accepted from guys in hockey pads, to old policemen coming out of retirement with a sense of old days justice. Take it easy on the costumes, this is Gotham.

Posting Expectations

We might have a few more players and characters around, so please be reasonable with the pace and magnitude of posts.

DON'T go on writing a three paragraph mini story, but don't dare drop a few sentences alone either. Be reasonable.

Please don't post something cliffhanger-y if you know you will not be posting for a long time. Also if you disappear for a few days without notice and it affects the flow of the RP, I will have to either kill off your character or retcon it out.

Also don't be unnecessarily wordy. If a few words get the meaning through, please do that.

Other than that just relax and have fun.
