Introduction

Welcome to Minipolis! We are a city that welcomes all creatures. We're located in the East-West direction of the North in the fifty-third state of America! Don't know where that is? Neither do we...

Okay, we'll get this out of the way...
Rules:
  • PM Character Sheet to me. I will decide what rank/group you are in.
  • No Godmodding, Mary-sueing , etc. I am God in this RP, and I will make very bad things happen.
  • Please be 'Literate'. This means using proper spelling and grammar. Typos happen. tlk liek dis n ur out
  • PLEASE, please stick with the city format. There isn't an expensive shopping mall in Urbania, and the Flea Market is in the Quarter, not in Glasstown.
  • Adding to the God-Mod rule, no time skipping. TIme Skip, and I shall kick your tiny little self out of the city, and you shall be eaten by a Venus Fly Trap.
  • Insult me or anyone else OOC, or the IC without reason, you're also going to be fed to the Venus Fly Trap.
  • Read other people's posts, even if they are in Glasstown, and you might be in Urbania. They might be going from Glasstown into Urbania, and encounter your character eating burnt fish on a moldy park bench, trying to figure your way into the Club Xizzle. You don't want that to happen, do you?

Played The Urbz on Handheld?
You'll know the layout of the city. Skip this and go straight onto Characters. I was a bit stuck with creativity tonight. =/

My own profile will be up very soon. Even if I am offline, please submit your forms, I will accept as soon as possible!

It's Friday Night, 9pm. Most people are in Urbania, as it's Open Night in the Pizza Joint, and you can fire rotten tomatoes at the rubbish acts. The Show doesn't start until 10, so there's plenty of time to mingle.

I shall give a rough outline of the plot before we start. If you have some ideas, it would be wonderful.

The 'whole' picture is to appear as a 'normal' city. Normal here meaning filled to the top with super-natural creatures, but still a Realistic enough setting. People living out their various lives, developing friendships, maybe even finding romance. The Group concept means that we don't end up with an 'everyone is friends' role play. Roxie, Artsie Leader, isn't going to be talking nice to a Nerdie, even though she might never have met them before.

The Villian, which is open for development, is going to come in slightly later. We've got our People, doing what they're doing, eating Pizza, dancing, picking a fight or just hurling a tomato at someone they don't like. The next morning they hear that King Tower Hotel, a famous historical landmark, has been bought by the same man/woman who has bought the Glasstown Mall, Ephram Museum in the Quarter, and who attempted to buy out Roxanna Moxie's Carnival Ground and the Cinema, both in Glasstown.
One of the Group Leaders get wind that the owner of the Tower, on holiday on Paradise Island, has disappeared, and nothing has been heard from since. Someone else, not particularly a Leader, but most likely a Streetie, hears that a Richie was on the Island the day the owner went missing. They share it with their fellow Streeties, who pass it onto the Roxanna and the Artsies, and the Nerdie Leader.

This strains relations between Richies and the rest of the Groups.
Most of the Richies are pretty concerned about the King Tower's owner as well, it mightn't even be a Richie behind it all...
