Introduction
Rules of the City:
1. Chicago ain't no place for kids. This is a 17+ roleplay based in a town given over to criminal elements. Expect cursing, violence, and other potentially offensive material.
2. Show some respect. Don't start fights in the OOC. Pick fights IC, and it's your funeral.
3. Nobody lives forever. Speaking of which, Chicago's a dangerous place. Characters can be killed, and some definitely will.
4. Don't get too fulla yourself. Godmodding is strictly forbidden. One warning, and then the Don puts a price on your head.
5. Keep your feet on the ground. Remember, it's a realistic roleplay. This may be the future, but guns still shoot bullets and cars still need roads.
Capiche?

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 2 authors
Setting
0.00 INK
"Good afternoon, Mr. Catania. May I offer you a drink?"
"No, not today. I'm here on business, get me a tonic with lime."
As the waiter hurried off, he sat back and reflected on the business he was there to discuss. Namely, getting someone to clean up the street drug dealers in the area. After the Delegalization Act, every user in the city was looking for a cheap fix. And Catania took the opportunity to give it to them, using his drugstore as a front to sell them high-quality drugs, just like a friendly bartender. But now the street dealers were making a comeback, selling cheap versions with much worse effects. People were getting horribly sick off these alternatives, and it was making his business look bad. He'd spent his last five years in Chicago building influence and stores, and now it was on the edge of crashing down.
"Waiter?"
"Yes, Mr. Catania?"
"Changed my mind. Make it a gin and tonic instead."
He sipped his drink and glanced at his watch. Sokolov had better be here soon.

After being served his burbon, Alanovski clasped the cup in one hand, ice clinking against the ice; and held out a box of cigars in the other. "Please, have one." He insisted. Cigars had always been a good deal-starter. If they thought you were willing to share evenly, even if you weren't, they usually opened more. "So," He began, leaning back and tenting his fingers. "the street dealers..."
(sorry it's been so long. I was more waiting to see who else joined/posted, but then my computer went down.)

EDIT: And, it's off! Post in whatever place is applicable, my character's in The Full House to start. Feel free to make up your own plots for your characters!

Re: [OOC] Mob City, IL
I see how creating one more mob leader would bring some variety to this game, but I think I'd rather create an independent character...
I might change my mind though. The problem is I've no idea how the game will be playing out? Will all gang leaders be antagonists? If so, how will conflicts be resolved? Oh well, I'm joining anyway.

I'll begin the 1st rival gang myself, since it appears nobody else is joining. Feel free to make a second character, but any secondaries have to work for a different gang. I also won't be playing two leaders, so that spot is open.

And bless you, for bringing some gritty realism to this otherwise silly place.

Just in addition to the original rules, I'd like to ask that everyone please be literate when posting, and try to be original with your characters. Also, anyone who leaves without explanation will be killed off (or just leave town) if gone too long, so please let everyone know if you'll be AFK for more than a day or so.
