Hive Zephis (based on necromunda)

Hive Zephis (based on necromunda)

Gralliz, a frozen world filled with glaciers, ice lakes and vast tundras. The world is virtually uninhabitable, but for a few places.
The hive cities, huge structures of metal that make up extensive cities. Walkways and streets connect the huge buildings that infest
these areas. At the top of the city is were the aristocrats and elite live, making their home in huge luxurious palaces.
However most of the pupulation live in the dank, dirty squalor of the underhive, here the weak die and the strong survive. Gangs rule
the streets, vieing for territory and equipment. In the underhive your only friend is your laspistol and the only thing you can trust
is your combat weapon.
The hive is a dark place, most areas completely devoid of light save the wavering street lamps and occasion fire that breaks out among
the packed areas of the streets, as such many inhabitants have never left the hive, this is their world, their home and they know nothing of
trees or wildlife save the viscious attack dogs kept by the enforcers. The enforcers, ruthless police vowing only to get rid of the gangs of
scum that infest the city. Armed with shotguns, boltguns and powered truncheons they enforce the law brutally, but they fight an unwinnable
battle.

This roleplay is about gangwarfare, betrayal, death and murder. The only race is human but this should not stop you from being creative with your looks, gangers of all different types fight in the murky depths of the underhive. From the dead marsh defilers who use scaly mutants and the undead to the Goliaths who use incredibly strong heavies.

I will play as the game master, and an enforcer. I will look at fights and see if they are fair and enforce the rules both through the ingame laws of the hive city and my own rules here.
Gangs.
On gangs, you have power here to create your own and join anothers, I will write down a list of gangs and members here, to start with there will be a limit of six gangs. Come up with orginal and cool names and backgrounds. As the rp progresses I will increase the limit on gangs to represent the fight reaching to other parts of the city. Remeber Hive Zephis is huge so there will be many more gangs than the six in the territory here.

The territory: at the moment the six gangs are fighting it our for territory in the ironyard.
The ironyard is a reasonaly large old scrapyard and slum. The streets are winding and full of debris used by gangs to enhance their homebases. The area is constantly fought over and the scrap found here is much sought after.

Character ssheet
Name:
Gender:
Age: (not too old as the life expectancy in the underhive is unsurprisingly low)
Appearance: (Try to stay away from anime style drawings as these guys are way too clean and well groomed for the underhive, I much prefer a written description)
Bio:
Equipment: Combat weapons- these are powered daggers, swords and maces.
Guns-
Laspistols and guns- shoot lasers
Boltpistols,guns and heavy bloters- Incredibly rare, these shoot explosive shells capable of ripping apart concrete, and they're automatic. However the recoil is such that they can break a man's arm easily. This means that only the strongest humans can wield them. Heavy bolters are very very very rare, and can only be used as turrets.
Shotguns
Heavy stubbers- a lot like a minigun but less heavy and powerful. Only heavies can wield these.
stubber- just a pistol or machinegun, you can specify
plasmagun and pistol- shoot plasma, which is very hot and they are rapidfire. Howevery they have a tendency to overheat and can really hurt the wielder.
Flamer- just a flamethrower
Meltagun- can melt metal with ease but require a time to charge up
Assault cannon- a minigun but a lot heavier and can only be used as a turret.
Las cannon- a very powerful laser turret.

Gang: if you are making one please offer a history.
Type: This is what type of Ganger you are-
Ganger- this are your typical gang fighters
Juve- every ganger was once a juve, these are the inexperianced young members of the gang, they have a very very low life expectancy and are generally used for scouting and as human shields. You start out as a juve unless you are the leader or a heavy (wich you can be if you made the gang or no-one else has claimed leader)
Heavy- only allowed two per gang, these guys can wield boltguns and heavy stubbers with ease. It is rumoured that some Heavies have been seen carrying heavy bolters, but this is impossible....
Leader- only one per gang, these are gangers who have eliminated all opposition and risen to be the leader of their gang. Heavies and Juves cannot go on to be a leader, Juves because they are too inexperianced and Heavies because they are too stupid and are only there to enforce the leader's will.
A note on juves- after a few posts a juve can ask me to be a gangaer, if they are worthy then their leader can promote them, but it's up to a leader. However if the juve is very good then he can become a ganger without any formal promotion.

Here is my enforcer- if others want to be an enforcer then ask me.
Name: Sergeant Valrian Rassa
Gender: male
Age: 42 (he's an enforcer so has a much higher life expectancy than your average ganger, of course the fact that he's a sergeant helps too)
Appearence: He is tall, about six foot and is very well built. He has very short brown hair and a week's worht of stubble on his chin. He has piercing grey eyes and his skin is pale because of the long hours he has spent the dark of the underhive.
Bio- Little is know on of Varian's past save the fact that he was born in the underhive, rare for an enforcer. he somehow made is way out of the slums and joned the enforcers, he did this by single handedly apprehending a gang leader in front of the eyes of one of the top officials of Hive Zephis. he was instantly offered a place and has since pushed his past far behind him, covering it up. Occasionally when angry his new cultured accent is replaced by the drawl of the underhive, most believe this is because of the ammount of Ganger's he has interrogated but the denisons of the underhive remain unconvinced.
Equipment: Varian wears black carapace armour, offering a lot of protection, he wears no helmet and he carries a combat shield on his back, reminiscent of the riot shields modern police use. It is black.
The armour looks exactly like this but without the helmet (that's official gw enforcer armour)
Image
The pistol is a boltpistol which he has cusomised to fire slightly quicker than most others, he also wields a truncheon exactly like the one in the picture, used to stun and knock out gangersm and with a setting that means it can kill as well.
