Alrighty then! Glad to see you all here. I'll get started on an OOC within 24 hours. I'll tag you all in it.

Until then, think of some characters! Have fun, too!

Oh yeah... What do you guys think of a discord?

I'll probably post tonight

EDIT: Nah, I just realised that I posted before Sedj. I'll post after Lara's post comes along

The Great Utopia, Most Oppressive of Cities --- Casual "Fuck the System" roleplay. High Energy Parkour and/or chases!

Utopia. It's not meant to be ironic, is it? Well, it is anyway.

Twelve years ago, following several 'tragic' events, the city had a major crackdown on security. Citizens were forced to walk or drive certain routes, lockout and curfew laws were passed, and all citizens were required to carry cards that pinpoint their location. This is only the more extreme stuff, too. Increased amounts of street cameras. Streets that send out electric shocks. It crossed the line. We had no privacy as citizens.

With this came resistance, but the apathetic authority of the government won out over the stubborn citizenry. Over time, some began to accept it, and some just left. Sheep and cowards. We stayed. And if you hadn't already guessed, we were dissatisfied. At first we were just roaming where we could, amazed at how much empty city space there was. We found so many magical places. Places so full of emptiness we felt like intruders. I mean, we were. But these areas... they got us feeling desolate. An old rubbish bag. A twisted bone. Faces carved into the walls, staring at us with infinitely judging eyes. We made them ours, though taking things that belong to themselves is difficult. We're on the rise now. We've gathered over fifty followers, which is a good deal more than three. Everything we were we still are, just more of it. It's great.

What we do exactly? We run raids, thefts, propaganda, sabotage, anything that'll make it easier for us citizens to reclaim some control. You want in?

Hello potential player! Welcome to Utopia. Your players will take the role of discontented citizens, and at the start you will be going through recruitment. I'll have a double point stat system. This means you will get a certain number of stats to allocate at the start of the game. You'll gain more through play, of course. They're mostly guidelines, but the 'double' in 'double stat' makes it somewhat different to pure guideline. You may draw on one stat per post, meaning you gain a bonus for the amount of points in that stat. These mean business, and if you use it there's a good chance of success. Here's a rudimentary CS, which will serve for now. It definitely will be improved.

CS blank

Name: (well ain't this a difficult field to fill out)
Age: (17 - 40. PM for exceptions. If it's interesting, I'll accept)
Sex: (not how many times they've had sex.)
Height: (In whichever system you prefer. Keep it reasonable)
Build: (Short description will do)
Style: (Fashion)
Hair, face, other body things: (Any strange visible quirks. Scars, tats, piercings etc.)

Concept: (3 sentences max to build the rest of your character around.)
Disposition: (A few words to describe your character's... well... disposition.)
Fears: (Yep. I'll play with these.)
Morals: (Strongly preferred, but if nothing comes to mind, don't worry too much.)
History: (Just a few paragraphs is fine. Don't feel afraid to stray from what's obvious in the post.)
Sample Post: (To make sure you're committed. I'd really prefer it if people didn't drop out halfway through.)
Skills: (6 skill points. Assign them to whatever you want, and you can go up to 3 points in a skill.)
Stats: (4 stat points. I have Reflexes, Speed, Strength, Endurance, Perception, and Will. You can double up to 2.)
Resources: (Income, places to stay, transport, shit like this.)
Connections: (Name, occupation, and relationship to a few NPCs. They will be brought in later.)

Theme Song: (because who doesn't love choosing a theme for their char? Not required.)
Misc. Info: (favourite book? What kind of food do they like? How is their pet doing?)

So the rules are fairly common sense. No godmoding, GM has final say, you probably know the drill by now. A posting frame of one week would be ideal, but I'm lenient about this. If you have some serious shit going on, you won't be kicked out. You will have to explain where your character's been though...

I'm open to discuss most things, too. If you feel something's off, let me know and I'll figure something out.

STATS: Each stat has a 'twin', as you may have noticed. It's a simple, yet somewhat elegant system for determining interactions.

Reflexes determines how good you'll be at resisting things via speed. Also determines acting speed in combat/racing
Speed determines how good you'll be at influencing things via quickness. Also determines how fast you move... obviously
Endurance determines how good you'll be at resisting things via power. Also determines how long you can run/fight etc for
Strength determines how good you'll be at influencing things via power. Also determines how much you can carry and how hard you hit in melee
Will determines how good you'll be at resisting things via the mind. Also determines productivity and resistance under stress
Intelligence determines how good you'll be at influencing things via the mind. Also determines persuasion

SKILLS: Players will come up with skills, as you can probably think of a much wider variety than I could, especially as tired as I am. Skills will be a make them up style. When you make them assign them an attribute that makes sense. If nothing really fits, ask me and I'll deal with it.

If you want any more info, leave a comment!

Three absorbed what the others had to say. Apparently his hunch was right, and discussing their deaths in front of them wouldn't be taken kindly. It never really is, but that goes without saying. Or, it should. The lack of a vehicle was troubling, but fortunately he'd heard Nine say something about mechanics. Maybe she'd be able to fix something up. Who knows. Probably not her, that's for sure.

"I say Jakob lives too. He could know something valuable.", he agreed. In a hushed tone, because that's what everyone else was doing. He heard Two's suggestion, and his eyes widened. He simply didn't understand. He tapped Two's shoulder as she went to kick the locks off the remaining chests to get her attention, before whispering, "Sorry? Leave them here to starve to death? How is that better than killing them ourselves? Fuck, I'd even say it's bloody worse! Not only are we pissing them off, leaving them with all the more reason to kill us, we're also potentially subjecting them to a slow and painful death. Either fucking kill them now or let them out. Don't let them starve."

He felt the tension build within him as he said this, but made sure he kept his voice down. He let himself cool off, rubbing his eyes as he did so. "Look. The only thing we have control over is ourselves in the present. If we tie them up, there's no telling what could happen by the hands of others in the future.", and with that he had whispered all he had wanted to whisper.

He gave the room a hunched gaze, attempting to spot another door. He didn't like the idea of a gunfight if he didn't have any guns. Especially if his bow was unstrung.

Possible Group Idea

@ShwiggityShwah

Not really. In the time I've been here it's gathered maybe... five posts?

Hi there. :)

Hello! Always good to see new people! Welcome, and have fun! (You have no choice. You have to have fun)

Your intro post was good, by the way. It did the job :D

Post a random fact about yourself.

I can't put on more weight than 67 kilos

Ceiran Strivelyn

Ceiran studied his surroundings while the others chatted. Only, he didn't study them with his eyes. He breathed in, and felt his energy rise from its dormancy. He held his hands about 15 centimeters apart, and allows his energy to flow from his gut into this empty space. To the others it would look like a marbled grey plasma, shifting in the air to form a sphere. He poured his desires into it, giving it purpose, and it began to float gently up, before rapidly expanding. It covers everything, filling all orifices with its chilling dominion.

As it swelled Ceiran felt his perception expanding. He could feel the surrounding area very similarly to how you feel what is in your personal space. In an instant, Ceiran felt everything he'd expected to. The others, the surrounding buildings, myriad insects. He felt something strange too. It was coming from a nearby building, and felt like a looming danger. His concentration broke, and his sensory bubble popped, leaving no trace. "Uh, guys? There's someth--"

CLANG

It seems he didn't have to finish his sentence, so he started a new one, "Yeah, it's in there. I really don't think that going in through the front door is a good idea. We don't know what we're up against." He looks to Roland, then to Circe, and continues with slightly more careful words, "Maybe Circe can find out? Shift into some kind of mouse or something?"

He strongly disliked endangering one of their lives like that, but it was all he felt he could contribute at the moment. Apart from burning the warehouse down, but he doubted that anyone else would be in favour of such a drastic action. Ceiran felt that in this case the ends did justify the means though.

The cold air began to chisel at his fingertips, so he buttoned his coat up in a mildly effective ploy to warm himself up. The desolate surroundings were the kind of places he loved. He reached into his bag and pulled out a muesli bar, eating out of habit. Also it'd be rather unfortunate to Twitch uncontrollably in a fight. He could manage himself if he initiated the Twitching, but it was much less easy to control if he'd forgotten to eat. He mentally poked the Demon, asking for information but only receiving chuckles. Of course it wouldn't give something for nothing, but Ceiran continues to give nothing.

I don't really want to be making 2 NRP sheets at once, so I'll just stick with TFUC for now

Fuck it, I'm down for that. If anyone wants to join in again, they'd be welcome though, I reckon.
