Hive Zephis (based on necromunda) OOC and sign ups

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Night Haunter on Sun Oct 11, 2009 3:31 am

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.
Sniper rifle- Pasically the same as a mordern day sniper

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, he has a boltpistol which he has cusomised to fire slightly quicker than most others, he also wields a truncheon which looks a bit like a metal piece of piping with a cylender on the end, used to stun and knock out gangers and with a setting that means it can kill as well. He wears a brown trench coat over his armour.

Name: Solem "Sultry" Stray (gang name, real name long forgotten)

Age: 23

Gender:Female

Appearence: While extremely pale and gritty, like most of the gang members trying to survive in the horrifying world, the woman has never the less is a wonder of beauty.

Long blond, almost silvery hair from the lack of light, combined with sharp "Cat-like" eyes of yellow, a trait that comes from excessive use of a certain drugs.

Her face is sharp, and long tattoos cover it as if forming stripes. It seems to give the woman a almost tiger-like appearance. Her body is equally as heavily marked, and if she were naked, one could probally assume she was a imitation of a animal.

She wears tight leathers of red, giving her a powerful passionate look.

Her body is extremely athletic, and one could probally assume that she constantly worked out, every part of her becoming one lithe work of art.

Bio: Born into the rough world, the womans knack for violence through carefully laid plans and seduction made her a top figure in the underworld.

She quickly made a gang from a few sisters of hers (deceased now) that looked to a animal that could still somehow survive.. the cat.

This creature became a symbol of ongoing life to them, beliving each member could be reincarnated 9 times, and this quickly allowed for many to flock towards her cause, which was simply survivial through worshipping this creature.

She had quickly became something of a symbol of hope, due to her relatively peaceful ways. However, many gangs consider her "Weak" and she is constantly on the verg of being attacked.

However, due to her gangs lack of fear of dying and ferciocity in close quarters, they have remained largely ignored.

Equipment: Long Wicked claws that are designed to be able to grab as well as slash, performing a style of chokes,grabs, and throws with violent slashes. They are actually rather "New" in tech, as the gang mostly relies on them.

Also uses smoke and flash bang grenades, those these aren't usually carried on them.

Gang: Strays, a group of cat-worshipping men and women. There is a variety of rituals about them, such as taking certain drugs to make themselves more cat-like. (such as seeing in the dark and developing very agile movements at the cost of painful addictions and rather uncontrollable sexual urges) The addiction to this chemical also makes many of its members long term, for its a hard substance to find without the group.

Their philosphy forces them to think of themselves as not human, but rather creatures of the night, giving them a "Edge" phychologically over others.

Their isolated attitude is a blessing mostly, as they rarely get involved in gang wars that they have to. Enforcers leave them alone mostly due to the fact that they only traffic their drugs and weapons, and rarely use them on anyone who didn't deserve it. They even own businesses (mostly red-light districts, filled with their own members)

Its members are extremely close to eachother, and betrayal is extremely dealt with, though with great sadness. Violence towards a member is also dealt with extremely, often with the gang violently assasinating the troublemaker.


Type: Leader
