So, awhile back I created this roleplay and have now decided to try and resurrect it. I'll leave out the last thread and link to how it went before been as I'm thinking of running it slightly different this time but here is the general scene...

Throughout time, man has been at war and each time, we have survived though many men have died. But, everyone knew that it would not always go that way. Also, in medicine, doctors and scientists have strived to create cures to everything, but how far would that go? Viruses adapted and gained resistance after a while, and man strived to find a new cure/vaccine. Again, that had a downfall, just like war did. Man continued to fight, using bigger, better machines and getting more advanced in technology before finally it just went all too far. In 2100, the third World War crippled humanity, bringing them to the verge of extinction along with many animals and plants. Man practically destroyed the planet. Despite having got vaccines and cures for a lot of diseases and viruses, with the outbreak of the third World War, and the advance in nuclear weapons, radiation caused mutations and mutations caused new variants of old viruses. Today, in the year 2200, with adults dying out at the age of 25 from this new virus called ADV423 (Adenovirus) which attacks the respiratory system. It is unknown what causes it to activate but people up until 21 aren't affected. The life expectancy of people in this day and age is now between 23-25. The people around today are trying to find a cure, but its a race against time for some. Cure's take time, and time is something a lot of people don't have.

So, in the old roleplay I then added a twist and had a legend and a girl that was a key to the cure, but a lot of people got confused and I don't know if that was the reason the roleplay died, or if it was for a completely different reason, so in the interest check, your thoughts on this idea would be good, stay or go, why and any other ideas.

Moving onto the sectors....

The roleplay will focus on a large city (like NY or something), somewhere that has been totally destroyed and in ruins due to the war, but has a surviving population of people. Over the years, the place has been split into four sectors. North, East, South and West, each becoming there own gang and fighting for survival and to find a cure. In each sector there will be the gang leader then between 2-4 other members, bearing in mind that you can have 2 or more characters as long as you can handle them and they can each be in a different gang.

What I need really are four people willing to show interest in gang leaders, and then others willing to be the players in the gang. I also need name suggestions for each of the gangs which I will take in, and either I will pick the four that I like the best, or I'll put it to the vote either in this link, or an OOC link, if one is up by then. I also want to create a little back story to each gang, having each one as a unique one, so suggestions for that will be awesome to.

So, that's it for now, I guess. I'll just see how this goes.

I so call gang leader sis. I remember the first one so I'll do it again.

Okies ^^

Another thing I forgot to add was that it is possible not to be in a gang at the start and join/be recruited by one later. Hopefully, even though it's Easter Sunday, people will still be around to notice this ^^.

Oh well, I'll just have to wait and see.

I don't mind being a gang member ^_^

I'd like to reserve a spot as a Gang Leader!

I, too, would like to reserve a spot as gang leader. I'm happy this is coming back. I loved it the last time. I'm no good with names, so I'm not going to attempt naming a gang until I can think better. If I think of anything, though, I'll either edit my post and make it obvious that I did or else I will make a new post. For now, though, I shall just be inwardly celebrating that I can use Ezra again.

DatGuy: Gang Leader
Wizard_and_Glass: Gang Leader
Stro (aka Near): Make up your mind but gang leader is reserved for now.
Juicebox: Gang Leader
eNzeru: Gang member.
Me: Gang Member.

I've decided now that the legend and the key will be in it as it gives structure to the roleplay and a place to start as well as a place to finish, so I am working on that information now ^^.

As for names, suggestions so far are

1. Bronze Wolves
2. Bear Calvary
3. Legion of the Iron Hand
4. Ambsace
5. Internecine
6. Dread Monkeys
7. The Death Parachutes

Keep the ideas coming in. I'm currently thinking up more of my own now. Hopefully, enough interest will be around by tomorrow evening as well as me having written everything up to get this off of the ground and into an OOC topic for you all.

EDIT!!! Here is the title picture I have created for the roleplay. Feedback please ^^.

If Stro doesn't make it I'll take gang leader,otherwise I'm wondering if I could be a rouge of sorts

Yea, that's fine ^_^. I'll try and get him to make a decision but a rogue sounds cool. A lot could happen being a rouge and not in the gangs which could take things in all directions. I'm hoping to get a bit more interest while I'm writing things up, but an OOC should be up hopefully tomorrow some time.

Another idea I had also was to bring in a smaller, fifth gang that is out to also destroy the key as they want power. I know Juicebox has a gang with the same power hungry attitude, but an outsider gang of some sort was another idea I had.

^^

Also, a couple of other things.

The gangs are:

North
South
East - Wizard
West - DatGuy

Each taking a province of the city, which we also need a name for. And, thinking of it the fouth goals that could be gotten out of the Key were :

1. Destroy it - Juicebox's gang
2. Protection - Wizard's gang
3. Find a cure - DatGuy's gang
4. Experimentation/any other ideas? - The last gang.

*loads customary rogue shotgun and tilts standard rouge fedora*

I'm ready and the last gang could be for......Controlling and using it as leverage to take over the city.

Hallo, just thought I'd post before going off to my homework. CM and I already talked about some stuffz, which she might talk about after this post. Anyway, hasta luego!

Actually, Emptor that is ... as some British people would say (me)... Bloody brilliant. I never thought of that. And, thinking about it, the gang finding the cure would be experimenting anyway.

Also, other names possibly for DatGuys gang - Thanatos Instinct. Ironic been as DatGuy's gang are out to prolong life and Thanato's was the Norse God of Death (I think that's correct).

For Juice's gang possibly - Loki's Kin as Loki is a trickster...

Those are two more ideas anyway along with The Order of Obsidian Knights and Soldiers of Dusk.

^^

How about the Pretty Pink Ponies?

>.>

<.<

*Cough* I didn't say that...

*Looks at the guy behind him.*

Lol Kaedai! ^^

Anyway, a couple of things I forgot to mention. Kaedai is going to do the map, so people let him know on the thread, or let me know so I can relay it to him, what you want your area to look like.

There will be a no man's land as well, thinking on the outskirts of the city, behind each province and also in the centre to.

All your ideas would be good to ^^.

lmfao um.......the crimson stallions

Trixst has offered to be a Doctor/Scientist in DatGuys gang and we could do with a couple more, either the leaders themselves, the rogues or eNzeru or any new people wanting to join. I'll sort post order out when the OOC is up and everything is sorted there ^^. The key to this been successful is to use the OOC often either this interest check (for now) or the OOC when that is posted up.

I'll be living in the no man's land

I expressed interest in this idea last night in the RPG Chat and that interest still holds, hell, I'd say that I'm totally on board now (great picture btw). I would like to join Wizard's gang in the protection of the people, ideally being in charge of the gathering and preservation of technology. In all truth, I would rather have my own pseudo-gang that was devoted exclusively to that goal, therefore working in tandem with the "Protection" and "Find a cure" theme gangs. That being said, what is the technological level of the world? 2100 is a long ways off after all. I hope that this is a satisfactory request, and I look forward to seeing more of this RP develop.

Cheers,

TheWal

I'd like to join either as a free agent or as a gang member for any gang..that'll have me.

Other than that, the idea's great Crim!

*Inches away from person who said "Pretty Pink Ponies"*

Now, all I need is where the city is going to be or do we just rename one of today's places with a name, or make up one of our own.

I have the name Alena for the name of the place, but to continue in the OOC I need the place name and where it is. >_<

I was thinking either in the middle of America, or the middle of Europe being as they are both big places.

Any thoughts...

Also, Edit. I didn't see TheWalrus' post here so editing this post now ^^.

That sounds like a great idea actually and I think it would work well altogether and it also means a lot of contact between those two gangs. So, I'll allow you to do that. As for technical knowledge. I was thinking that of the survivors from the war, some of them were knowledgeable in that area and able to pass things on to the next generation and so forth. Also, books could have been preserved and hidden by people when the war started. After the war, a lot of technology was destroyed so its more a case of rebuilding it. Have electricity. Computers... Some could work or people could be working to fix them... Anything that would seem realistic, but just throw any ideas you have and I'm sure I'll like them and most likely agree ^^. That is, unless it is wacky.

Glad you still have the interest TheWalrus. Nice to have you on board.
