Well, on one hand Isla’s heart absolutely melted at watching the little Pokémon with its absolutely wide eyes. The lil guy was just adorable, with his…well, the tail looked like a broom, sure, and the way the fox wolfed down the jerky just struck her the wrong way, but then again she’d seen some that’d looked weirder and far, far more hungry Pokémon in how they ate. Isla tried to listen out and away about the forest in general, everything around her, but she very well couldn’t just…turn her head out and about. There was a Pokémon right in front of her, and really looking away struck the young girl as a bad idea. Rocking back and forth on the balls of her feet, she watched the little fox get closer and closer.

Dancing, though, had grown well awake at the new smells and such. He regarded the one right before them for a moment, noting that they were getting the jerky too. Snorting, he made the decision that he’d want something a bit more next time if some random fox got it; there wasn’t much more to be said on that matter, so he got up while on her shoulder, patting feet around to let the great bushy tail smack Isla right in the back of the face as the Eevee looked about.

“Hey, what the-” she giggled, head coming low for a moment as it lightly smacked. Dancing had paused, though, locking eyes with the second one who had been stealthily padding up from behind. He stared, too, giving off something between a cough and a bark at the fox, throaty and roughshorn.

Well, that’s not a normal noise. Isla slowly rose back up just enough to swivel, swaying slight at the weight on her shoulder as she took a look at whatever it was Dancing had spotted, keeping in mind that she still had the one right in front of her to watch. He’d gotten close enough that, in all likelihood, it’d be just a few more steps before she could pet the guy; comfortable, aren’t they? Had others fed them? Was it a natural tendency? Then Isla spotted the other one. Ah. There had been a plan there. Smart little guys.

She tossed a piece of jerky to him as well, a good deal less careful now, turning her head just a little to consider the first. Taking a smaller piece from her bag, since honestly she’d started running out from this one, Isla leaned down, almost offering it to the fox.

CITY IN FLAMES
A NIGHT CITY STORY

Discord

Night City, 2080.

Wasn't too long ago that Arasaka got wiped across the board. Some gonk solo'ed a facility in the distance and suddenly you had corporats flatlining left and right, AVs falling out of the sky, suits getting fried right there with Ziggy. It was Christmas come early, really a beautiful time if ever there was one. That makes me feel alive, a real tear-jerker of a memory. Hell, even a bunch of their big-wigs got fried, kiddies of old Saburo, and Arasaka pulled right out from Night City within weeks.

Militech rolled in soon after, camouflaged boys who started recruiting 6th Street pukes like they were their very own, pulling the same sorta crap like Arasaka had except with cheaper suits and more chrome. The Tyger Claws that were left must've felt slighted that sugerdaddy 'Saka didn't stick to back em, or some gonk back in Japan pulled their strings, because they started a gang war across Kabuki and into Japantown. Kang Tao made good then, too, pushed themselves into the city center like a tick that just won't go away, though they steered clear of the chest thumping, kept to their own affairs. Lead flying left and right, it was real good time. Watson blew up too, amid all that, and Pacifica…well, it kept on being Pacifica. VBDs carving out an empire in secret and Animals in the gym, a tale as old as that hole. Dogtown shut its doors with everything once a Militech gunboat perched off of the coast, threatening to turn the place into real rubble if they tried fucking things up by getting involved. Rumor had it Hansen got zero'ed too, though who the hell knows with that place.

Yeah, it's a real good time for business. Solos, crews, corpos with an axe to grind, corporats with a conscience to ignore, gangers to make a mark on the city…whoever you are, there's always a way for you to make an eddy for yourself and steal one from your neighbor. So really, choom, there's just one question I've got for you.

Who the hell are you?



DESCRIPTION

Welcome to City In Flames, a Night City roleplay.

As a free roam, open game, ultimately you have the creative choice on where you start out and where you go. Between playing a solo, a small crew, a corpo, or a ganger, as well as being able to lead a small faction, options on how to change the face of Night City are wide and varied. Amid a new flare-up in the gang wars that have consumed the city streets, players will get their chance at stardom and maybe, just maybe, a new addition to that list of legends.

The game essentially is born from my own minor frustrations with Cyberpunk 2077 and a desire to do more there, to be in that sort of setting from even more angles. By and large, major narrative decisions and gigs will be more of a cooperative venture between proposing players and myself, in part because players have the best idea of what is fun to them, in part because I don't have the time or creativity to make every single gig in Night City.



RULES
  • Abide by all on-site rules.
  • A minimum of one post, two paragraphs, a month is expected. If real life situations prevent such, by all means that is alright, please just let myself and other members be aware.
  • Factions are limited to a maximum of thirty members. Factions will be treated as an extension of the character in regards to permissions for interactions and interactions between a player character and another’s faction members should be cooperative, with outcomes of such agreed upon by both parties. Faction members should individually be considered weaker than a player character unless specifically stated or within certain circumstances such as VBDs attacking a netrunner.
  • Joining the Discord is not mandatory, but is highly encouraged to facilitate good, quick communication between myself and to other players for cooperative interactions. If such interactions are agreed upon via on site PMs, either player should let me know in the OOC. If the other player disputes this in any way, they will be assumed right and the interaction will be considered godmodding.
  • After all that legalese, by all means have fun!


APPLICATIONS


Update for all and a bump for anyone who missed it!
Opening post for this will be posted sometime in the next two days or so, just need to edit a few images for the OP and make my own character.
For all interested, please join the Discord so we can talk through character ideas and potential lines of the story.

EDIT: It turns out that was a friggin lie. We're live here!
@Letter Bee @The Incredible John @maribell

Interest check for a Cyberpunk 2080 (or so) game set in Night City, free-roam form for a lot of it. Players could control Solos, form their small merc groups for jobs here and there (which I suppose would be a collaborative effort between the prospective players who want to do the thing and me, just so jobs aren't too wacky and I'm not making all the jobs myself), or be in one of the gangs of Night City from Maelstromers to VDBs. Would generally be looking at a minimum post a week, though that can always be stretched out.

If anyone's interested in this, have ideas on how to make it better, or questions to better refine the idea, feel free to let me know / ask here!

She was frozen, still as can be, watching the fox Pokémon make his quick approach on the jerky to nibble here and there. It wasn’t anything she actually recognized, with a little body and a big head, darker colorations and a great splayed-out tail, but…well something about the little guy was just heartwarming in a strange little way. Maybe it was the white markings about his face? She really wasn’t sure. Swallowing, Isla considered what to do next, altogether wanting to maybe…maybe befriend the little guy? A pang in her stomach came with that thought. Somehow that felt wrong, too. Is that how trainers just were, that they could just pick out a Pokémon and say ‘this is mine’, and that was that? Well, that was the same with Dancing, though, and…well, if things weren’t how this one liked them, then she could set him free and that would be that…or send him back to the lab, for the professor to contemplate and settle, so on and so forth. Besides, it was technically her job, Pokémon studies, and catching them was one of the quicker ways to go about doing that.

Isla swallowed, carefully drawing out another piece of jerky to lightly toss closer to her. If the method worked again, tried and true, then…well, maybe that could just be the method. She threw it in an arc, the piece lightly landing in the grass a bit closer to her. The little Pokémon’s head snapped over to it, ears perking up, before it snapped onto her.

Whoops. Stock still again, her eyes unconsciously wide at the stare of the other, she waited to see what the wild Pokémon would do.

Isla stopped along the path, taking a few steps off to one side as leaves crunched under her shoes. She could hear the whole of the forest, it seemed, the birds in the distance, the wind through the branches, the movement of everything green and moving and just alive in that distance. All the sounds of the city had faded far, far away with only a few noises of people able to be picked away. The squeal of fishing with lines being drawn back in, the whip of rods as lines were cast, chatter of people snuck out between the whistle of wind here and there. It was…nice. It was so different compared to home, the hot wind off the sea wasn't there, but it was nice.

She breathed in and out, nice and deep, before finally looking about. The sign there was interesting; clearly there had been issues in the past with new trainers getting lost deeper in the forest, though whether that was due to them actually getting lost or Pokémon attacks she was unsure. Isla's eyes rested On the bike for a spell, the…newness of it, how many little details screamed out how it hadn’t been bought in its present state. Someone had definitely wanted a bike that went off road and worked to make it work. Interesting.

Crouching down, Isla drew out her sketchbook and quickly set to work. It was rough, true, but then again it was just a sketch. Little things to remind and maybe make into something more, that's all there was to it, though…the bike was a nice little challenge out of the norm. Pencil flew across the page at the movement of it, quick and simple and easy. Closing it and putting the little tome away, Isla considered what she might want to do next.

She could keep on into the Winding Wood, and to that dig site, but…well, there was something just nice about the path and area. It wasn't something Isla wanted to leave so quickly to be put simply. Breathing deep and enjoying the clean air, she fished out that small bag of jerky, kept crouched, and tossed a piece further into the grass. Eyes peeled and ears open for anything new and strange there, Isla waited, stock-still.

Isla desperately tapped on the Pokédex as it began to speak up, looking over the Growlithe with the overmuch fur with about as much gusto as she simply did not want. Bringing the volume down to a whisper and listening halfway to the prattle of the virtual Professor, the young girl was quick to weigh her options. Of course the group of kids wasn't all that mischievous, she hadn't expected them to be, and yet…some part of her still said that they might find some amount of trouble in the city, or might miss their bus. Well…maybe. Maybe, maybe. Surely they knew their schedule better than she did?

Although…they seemed eager to go to places that there'd already be adults at. If they got into trouble there, there'd be people to step in or help or…something. Isla's imagination struggled at the prospect, all things considered. She wasn't used to the bustling city and…no, she checked, still wasn't intending on getting used to that. All things considered…Isla weighed it again. Maybe they'd be fine. It couldn't be any worse than what her parents had done, in retrospect.

She backed away and out of the alley, mind made up that they couldn't be in too much danger. After all they seemed comfortable enough, confident enough. That was the sort of thing you had with some level of knowledge. Coming back onto the street from that little incursion, and pausing for a moment to frown at all the dang noise, Isla made her way to Route 1 and Winding Wood.
