Title: The Badlands - OOC and Signup (WIP?)
Post by: Monster Mash on December 10, 2010, 04:21:00 AM
"Dive into a seedy city filled with corruption and class where your only chance at survival is to watch your back around every turn and kill your enemies before they kill you. Gangsters and thugs run amuk in this crime-ridden setting similar to that of old school New York. Danger lurks around every turn and the choices you make can either grant you another day at life or leave you bleeding out on the sidewalk with no one around to save you. How long will you survive?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, so, first off this roleplay is supposed to be loosely based around the 1920's-1960's or so. And here are a few rules...

1. No modern clothing or weaponry. If your character has android/robotic parts I may consider letting you play if I feel that they won't be used as an advantage to godmod.

2. No godmodding. As in, no creating a 'God' character that has no weaknesses or can't be killed.

3. No powerplaying.
             Bad post:
                 Character A growls at Character B menacingly.
                     Character B shoots Character A and kills him instantly.
Why is that bad? The player of Character B controlled Character A to just stand there and get killed.
             Good post:
                  Character A growls at Character B menacingly.
                       Character B aims his gun at Character A and pulls the trigger, hoping to kill him.
Why is that good? Because now Character A has the chance to either attempt to dodge the bullet or get hit.

4. No dodging every attack. Let's say a player can dodge an attack a maximum of three times and then the fourth attack hits automatically, no exceptions.

5. This is a no consent roleplay to some degree. Which means your character could get engaged into a violent situation against their will.

6. Please type at least three or more sentences, I hate one liner posts.

7. You don't need to talk like a mafioso to roleplay but it might help if you at least know some of the terms. Here are some pages that can help:

Two (http://www.onewal.com/maf-glos.html)

Now, on to the sign-ups. I don't care if we used to be friends or enemies in the past, anyone can join. Just fill out this form to help us visualize your character a bit more! And you're more than welcome to add/change things, or even make your own form. I just got lazy so I may expand on this later. :P

     Bonus rule, in character you will not know that my character is corrupt right off the bat, i'll reveal that on my own through my posts with him.
Likes: Catching criminals, women, his job, money, power
Dislikes: Criminals
Personality: Gruff, always seems angry at something, harsh, cruel, 'cold-hearted', relentless. The type that 'always gets his man'. He gets angry if anyone accuses him or his father of being crooked.

At an early age he decided to follow in his father's footsteps and joined the force as soon as he was able to. Of course he also became an abuser, a drug addict, and a crooked cop.

OOC: I'm still up for ideas before I get this started. Are the rules too strict? Do you have an idea for a plot? Speak your mind, this is my first roleplay in a while. c:

Hmmm. Can someone be into the body trade? I have a character in mind, but he'd be working in the morgue, I'm not sure how he'd fit. I'm not sure if he'd be in the trade or not, but I'm sure someone could use an at home pathologist.

I'm up for just about any character, it doesn't have to be a gangster. I might even be willing to bring the setting up to modern times if people would be more interested? c:

Name: Jak 'Blood-Father' Skroll
Gender: Male
Species: German Shepard
Age: 27
Height: 6' 3''
Weight/build: 210, moderate muscle, sculped.
Fur/markings: normal coloring, three nicks on the right ear and two on the left.
Eyes: Peircing red eyes.
Occupation: Mafia Hitman
Likes: Chasing, Killing, Sofia, and his metal-back bible(http://www.bookclasp.com/blog/blogimages/numbers/numbers3.jpg).
Dislikes: Begging, Prostitutes, being decieved.
Personality: Borderline Sadistic but has the capacity to care for others.
Past: Jak was in an orphanage, the kind where the children did the majority of the cooking and cleaning while the caretaker only handles the legal documents and makes sure nobody tries to stay up past bed time. Jak only spent three weeks in the orphanage before a pastor came and adopted him. Sadly for the two of them, the pastor spent little time in actually raising Jak and then tried to molest him at the age of ten. This was the first time Jak killed someone, even though it was in self-defense. After that he kept killing to keep his other murders silent, and eventually started to enjoy the different ways he would make someone meet their demise. As word got around, Michael Bartolli had him brought over in a muzzle and chains for a two year contract only to realize that Jak wouldn't stop looking at Sofia.

He now works as Sofia's personal hitman, with hopes of having a more personal relationship with his boss.

ummm...Mafia Leader, always has an advisor and a Underboss. the Underboss is, like I said, second in command, but he can stay as a personal hitman too

I wasn't really planning on bringing in a Mafia right now...Even though I don't seem to be getting much interest in this rp idea would you guys want to have the Mafia right away? I already have a feeling this won't get very far. :c

well, if you just give it a chance. Chrono and Mortis are excellent Role Players, I just thought since the wide rang of the 1920-1970's during that time range the Mafia was very popular (maybe not in the 50's-70's) but in the 20's-40's time range the mafia was always in the papers. I just thought it would be all the more interesting. also you have to be online allot, and if you can't do that them thats how it will fall apart, you have to be dedicated. I for one am a very dedicated Role player. and I thought that the Mafia would just make it more exciting, since your character does not like Criminals, I decided to make my character a 'Criminal'. don't give up just yet, you may have not very players many right now, but if you start it and get it going, you will get more people. Just give it a try  :) don't be discouraged just yet.

I think she also wanted to wait on more players. People may be hesitating because there's no distinct plot yet.

Name: Romei
Gender: Male
Species: Flap-Neck Chameleon
Age: Unknown
Height: 6'
Weight/build: 175lbs, seems somewhat scrawny but has "swimmer's muscles."
Fur/markings: Dark gray / black scales, yellow orange underbelly, fading to a pale yellow in the center, same with the palms and bottom of his feet. He has pale yellow streaks, one down each of his sides, and two rings around his wrists, ankles, and tail. Eyes are yellow orange with a pale yellow spiral that leads to his actual yellow green eyes.
Eyes: Yellow Green.
Appearance: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3843891/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3958773/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3975279/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4094650/
Occupation: At home pathologist / body snatcher, occasionally is found in the morgue working, but it is unclear who he is working for, if anyone at all. His clearance to be there seems mysterious.
Likes: The dead, his job, anatomy, cutting people open, a mysterious love whom he wants to cut into.
Dislikes: People in general, disrespect, crowded areas.
Personality: Romei is quiet and a loner. Other than the mysterious love of his, he has no connections to the outside world and only ventures outside to snatch bodies from fresh accidents or anything similar. He cannot function properly socially and has a very hard time expressing his emotions. He comes off to someone as having a few screws loose.
Past: His past isn't very well known, but he hails from Germany, indicated by his accent. He also claims to have several medical degrees, but there is no proof that it is actually valid. People consider him a foreigner because of his accent, but it is not known how long he has actually been around due to his ability to drop off the radar.

I'd like to hop in this too. I'll think of a character to use.

Jak is someone you want to get help from if you really want someone to suffer, he is learning how to do buisness, but his forte' is either as 'the hatchet man' or personal hitman  :S

The mafia could get introduced later, but all I can think of is a bartender that used to be an officer before getting framed for bootlegging and having to either 'retire' or go to jail :/

Name: Jack Ravage
Gender: Male
Species: Rabbit
Age: 27
Height: 5'9"
Weight/build: Average, but more on the skinny. Just not real skinny.
Fur/markings: All gray.
Eyes: Blue
Occupation: Bodyguard
Likes: Unknown
Dislikes: Unknown
Personality: Nice, to a point. He does what is asked of his boss, whomever it is at the time.
Past: Jack is a master of Nitōjutsu, the art of fighting with two katanas. He is also adept in Kyudo(Using a bow). He learn both from his master in the Dojo in Japan. One day when he was out doing his morning routines he came back to find the dojo in ruins and his master dead. He heard from a close friend, whoever did it fled to America. So he did too in pursuit of those responsible. He's been searching for three years, he learned English fairly quickly, it would be hard to tell now that he was Japanese at all. Still searching he made what money he could offering his skill to whoever needed a personal bodyguard. He never asked questions, he knew better and didn't care most of the time to get deeper involved into his client's business.

I left out my reasoning for leaving the Like and Dislike fields as "Unknown". But uh...It's a newer character, haven't built too much on him. Hopefully this will help a bit.

Count us in.  This looks veeeeeeeerrry promising.  I've made some changes to Nero and this is a perfect setting to test them out.

Name: Nero Goltbenz
Gender: Male
Species: Hyena
Age: 25
Height: 5' 3"
Weight/build: 140 lbs, effeminate (femboy)
Fur/markings: Mottled brown with random spots.
Eyes: Right eye is orange, the left is is glazed white (blind in that eye).
Occupation: Butcher
Likes: Meat, money, booze, recieving and inflicting pain, women, and dancing.
Dislikes: Men....especially drunks (self loathing for the win!)

Personality: Normally sarcastic and ill tempered unless around a woman, which causes him to become polite and very chivalarous.  Slightly unstable, Nero has been known for unprovoked fits of rage which often ends in a bloody mess.  Many people have gone missing around his shop but no investigations have been successful in convicting him.  Has severe "Daddy issues" and during more severe fits will undergo gender confusion.

Past: Saying Nero has had a rough childhood would be an understatement.  His drunken father abused him and his mother in more ways than one for as long as he could remember.  With his feminine figure, he was often the object of ridicule by fellow children which escalated during his teen years into similar abuses to the ones he endured at home.  When he was 15, his father accidently broke his mother's neck during one of his drunken rages, sending Nero completely over the edge.  He murdered his father, the whole time screaming "DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL IS A GOOD LITTLE GIRL!!!", skinned him and ate him.  He made the skin into a dress which he wore to school the next day claiming his name was 'Katelyn'.
Needless to say, he was institutionalized.  He was released a few years later when he seemed to get better and has since opened a strangely successful butcher shop.  Many of his customers are women who find him comforting and flirty.  On more than one occasion, these women have become widows after explaining their problems with their husbands to Nero.

A crooked cop that somehow aspires to be like his abusive father, A mafia leader that inherited the buisness through pure coincidence, a german shepard that has issues with all sins except for wrath, a mourge 'worker' whos buisness is almost as shady as his past, a rabbit from Japan out for vengence, and a gender-confused hyena thats half-blind and whom also has 'daddy issues'.

*takes off monocle, then takes a puff of his pipe before tossing it away*

In my summation, I have established that only in America, can these people seem remotely qualified to have the careers they have, and still be treated as remotely sane individuals...


If that was in too bad of taste, I'll delete it...  :(

I entirely agree with you Chrono.  Remember...this is a time when lobotomy was considered to be a good idea for re-education.  Sanity has nothing to do with it.

Well...It's int the 1920's-60's...I'd vote something with the prohibition, but that'd be too small likely... Maybe...Mafia families are beginning to arise and form, taking parts of the city for their own. The police try to nip several of the smaller ones in the bud before they got too serious but there was a few that got too powerful. Many of the police became on their payroll or shot. Though still many of them chose to serve and protect like they were supposed to. The few families that didn't get shut down in the early stages began to get more and more powerful, eventually fighting each for turf and property. They did what they could to get money, lots of it was based on the goods they could get there hands on to sell. Drugs, weapons, alcohol, women, all sorts of things. Though the families tended to specialize in the trade of various goods, some were better at getting guns, or drugs, etc. If one family had the same thing as another, they would kill each other to assure their families would be the best sellers.

Yeah, kinda a typical plot...But it could be fairly loose though. To leave people to stray off and kinda do their own thing, but there is a main focus to it. The families are trying to gain power over the city...Not the greatest...But I just woke up. Maybe someone can add on to it...I just didn't want to go off the deep end and say aliens were invading lol

Name: 'Nimble'
Gender: Male
Species: Human, Russian
Age: 27
Height: 65'9
Weight/build: 210kg, built to run
Occupation: Informant, Runner, Spy, Target practice (on occasion when the police are trying to kill him or people he's sold out)
Likes: Jokes about Vodka being made of Latvia's tears, Running, money, sarcasm, running (for mayor), Chocolate, American women who get enraptured by his accent and devilish personality, people who can take a joke
Dislikes: Running (for mayor), police, guns, angry people, spicy foods, Italians, American women who don't fall for his charm, super serious people,
Personality: He's a jokester who likes his job, but tends to be serious only when he has to be. He's also kind've cynical
Past: No one knows who 'Nimble' really is. He was your average Russian immigrant who didn't know the language at all and had no friends. The Italians didn't really like him, and liked to try and run protection rackets on him and the other immigrants. Naturally he ran, but he became so good at it he made it a profession. He runs illegal goods for the mob families under the nose of the police, or away from the police. You want something stolen and kept out of police hands, find Nimble. And when mob families don't give into his prices, he gets to inform on them to his rivals and get paid double and help get rid of crime.
