periculum Town

0 INK

One hero time to stand against a series of villains. The people on the side all caught up in tales one could only dream of. The mad run around and the cunning are cutting up the biggest parts of the stake for themselves. All that stopping them is one man.

Introduction

The moon hung over this city like any other, casting a spectral gaze over the mortal plane as it dresses everything in a white, Ethereal light that washed all within the land with a slight shine that can only be compared to the glint with in the black eyes of a tiger or the shine of a striking blade. As that giant sphere of the void above set its gaze on those below a minor hum hit the air, The hum of running wires and working gadgets fueled with running electricity that pulsated in the body of the Town like that of blood pumping a human body.

It was a hum of life, a signal that the city still had its time to shine and it was going to keep kicking and if this town had anything, periculum city had life bursting in it. The busy claps of feet colliding with pavement stones, the chattering and chittering of folks in all sorts of all moods. all wearing all sorts of clothes and heading to all sorts of places. These sorts of places that were diverse and many, the kind of places sitting in the belly of this gloomy and still going old town. Casinos, shops, libraries, malls to strip clubs, schools and exhibits. Whatever a mind can hope to find this place had it, if you had the money And a map to find out where it may be to get it that is. Periculum was plagued with a large number of tall buildings and old designs from years ago. Statues perched upon the on the rims of flats and within the streets it wasn't totally un-heard of it to see a condemned warehouse or left over constructs still in need of attention from the government, the sight of Victorian middle class houses loomed with their pointed hats and stuck out like that of an old man out of the times inside a night club filled with a new generation, It wouldn't be totally un-true to say that the town needs to moved forward abit from its old views but none the less it gave the world it lived in a grimy but refined look at times when keeping a bit of the good and bad of the past. Crime here is strong but the police force has become just as cruel in return to the up rise over the years, the people are weary of them both as hasher and hasher actions have become routine for people that are suspected to cross either the two. Robberies, scams and murder are a news favorite and luckily for them there is no shortage of stories to tell both related to the cops and the criminals alike.

What this place needs is a hero....

Someone they know will be watching the dark alleys that littered the maze like layouts of the city streets. A hero they know that will be wandering about, a flash light to scare the rats away creeping in the dark and a figure to give the police a break and little more chance at mercy instead of steel fist tactics.

but are people prepared for the villains that will undoubtedly follow him into the world?





----------------------------------------------------------------


Jee, golly that was a basic and short intro. Well. Yeah. I know. This is all aimed at character themselves, The reason it so small and to some extent depart of lore is because that is going to be made by the players. I didn't include politics because this will be about your role in this and the villains past, which may include political figures or companies so I'm leaving most things vague. Plus, since it about the characters and not the world, I would be wasting your time making you read and in depth intro in which you could be spending making a character that will be making that world.



How will this work:



The RP will play like episodes. Each villain will be a main character, each with their own chapter devoted to his/her run in with the hero, how they became villains and how they get defeated and sent to the asylum or (if by accident) killed or hospitalized. If the villains fails to kill the other main(the hero) then it will be next players turn. I will personally over see everything and make sure that there is a fair chance for the hero and to keep the villains themselves balanced.

The villains who are not currently active(you can't be active as a bad guy in someone else episode, it about them and the hero development) you play as the supporting characters who can have an effect on the story. Such as doctors/professors/ cops/detectives/ loved ones of either of the main characters or a therapist ectr.

This is meant to follow the comic formula. We don't have a bunch of villains running about at the same time, all being introduced to one guy. They each get a chance for how they are made, why they are what they are. In this RP the focus will be on character development. thugs, gore, heavy detail in what kind of tech you have is all good but remember the main priority will ALWAYS be your relationships and how you're character feels and progresses with theirs life and issues. So, you can do a description on how you tore some guys head off and played basket ball with it but that shouldn't be the readers main hook, if you have an option to go on about your great machine or how your character is subtly feeling isolated due to not being able to see his wife again. Choose the wife issue for the sake of the story.


Because of this, I won't demand massive detail in things. It won't hurt but all your main detail/schemes/attention should be on expanding your character or if its a support character, in helping to expand the main twos character(don't get me wrong, your character can have lives of their own, just try to keep it getting in the way of the main two time to shine)


I will allow side kicks if If you can get a player to be one and I believe that it fits the villain or not over power his side. Even if you are a side kick, you still have to double a support.


NOTE: That I am Doctor Theodore. When your chapter ends I will be doing interviews with your villain and performing a psychological evaluation. So when making your profile, you can act it out as a psychiatric profile but you'll getting a double review from my character too(as an added bonus chance for you to build your character)



List-A list of current major groups and companies-

Vencorp-A massive, Multimillion dollar research company that primarily focuses on robotics and computers.

Lux and Lurry-A financial company that spread its root in all forms of banking/insurance/loans and the stock trade although its main base of operations was its insurance operations before reaching out to different projects.


Merry More asylum-A heavily funded mental asylum combined with the extreme security of a top of the line prison. Routinely housing criminals that are deemed to be border line mentally ill or too crazy to be locked up in a prison but too dangerous for even maximum security asylums. Rumor has it that Vencorp donates prototype equipment and funds to the asylum.

Tabitha Lounge-A respected and very high price hotel with casino compartments. It high living standards and luxury comforts have made it one of the most desired places to stay in all the city although the owner (Mark Mortan) Has been accused of multiple crimes, some of a serious nature although he has proved himself innocent in a court of law...well..reportedly proved, many still believe that he used loop holes and bribes to get out of danger.

Fornloom Facilities- A company that aims at medical practice which include the testing of and researching of chemicals and possible treatments and ideas that can aid humanity in any way.

(Just a small list of basic places people could use. However because I said this city is totally flexible, you are all totally welcome to make up places and people. If you do I will add it to the list as an actual place(consider these, Prototype fillers)the reason they will be added is so plots involving the same companies can transpire instead of having five different big companies in the same field in each new chapter)

-------------

Toggle Rules

1: No autohitting or god moding. Let the fight span out and don't rush it. Unless you believe for whatever reason that a quicker end to a fight-by your side-will help the story of the chapter somehow.

2: If you bail after your villain had its turn or because you had to play a support then you name will be written and banned from any future RPs(this obviously doesn't count actual RL problems. Like your granny been kidnap by king kong and you have to save her or something)

3: No sex. Hint, suggestion and heck ever actual stating that gore or such things had happen I may slip but the core focus should be your characters.

4: Gore, once again I will allow gore to even a high extent but only if it actually is done tastefully and for the purpose of building your character. I don't want to read about some kids brain shooting out his nose when that space could be used for your character development .Strong suggestion, hint at it being done and out right statement are good. Gore is even good itself if it main purpose is your character growth-like how they shot their bullying brother in a origin introduction-

5: 3-5 paragraphs standard. I will be lenient but you don't consistently put in the standard then I will may issue warnings.

Re: periculum Town

Hm...it sucks. I thought this would of really been fun for everybody and was kind of planning to have a lot of members to rotate support to side kicks/main roles. Even if I took a position as a hero this would be a very empty RP.

Its a real shame..but...I think this may be a card we will have to flip upside down and forget about. It doesn't seem like it going to live.

If I happen to do anything else I think you guys would like. I'll message you.

Re: periculum Town

Hmmmm so are we going to kick off this thread soon or shall we wait a little bit more? Super sorry you have been under the weather Special.

Re: periculum Town

I understand what you are saying. Even great ideas fail to get enough members to make it worth doing. Just let us know, if your time is better spent with something that has more of a base for success, I wouldn't blame you for going with that.

Re: periculum Town

Sorry guys. I've been a little ill and handling a different set up somewhere. I was kind of letting this sleep for a little while to see if we got any new members. But I think that isn't happening. I don't know if we really have enough members, I was hoping for at least for five people-with me included-

Great, I'll take a look.

Its all good, I've been ghostly for your RP last couple of days and we haven't got a hero yet so we can start up anytime soon yet anyway. It might come to me having to be him if we get deseperate.

I approved your character. I would like it if you could have a final read through. There one spelling error and that it-modified-and if you change up the sentence starters a little It would be a good profile.

Re: periculum Town

I see, will look at Mr.Goody right now.

SilverInk wrote:Ok question time for me ^ ^

1. Who is going to be your main character Special? Like can you give us backround info on him?

2. How many more people do we need before we can start the rp?



If another villain joins which means we have another support cast member as well then all we need is a hero and we can start.

My main Is Thane mostly. I don't want to take up the villain/hero spots from the RP'ers while I'm GM'ing. I'll most likely handle various support cast to help out. Although I might make a main later after a few episodes if there a few spots open as a villain.

Thane in the profile section now. Hes pretty much a goody two shoes researcher of the mind. Spurred on by general interest, sibling rivalry and his father decreasing health.

Re: periculum Town

Ok question time for me ^ ^

1. Who is going to be your main character Special? Like can you give us backround info on him?

2. How many more people do we need before we can start the rp?

Re: periculum Town

Alright. I added Thane. I'm going to proof read him once more. Then I'm going to set up a RP'ers wanted thread.

If anyone has any question feel free to post.

Your totally welcome to join. We won't be starting though until we have a hero.

Re: periculum Town

This seems interesting. Is this active? If so, I may want to make a villain.

Re: periculum Town

Sounds good.

There not been many others joining this RP so far. A little worrying. I might set up a role players wanted soon.

Sorry, If It sounded like I placed you under the assumption that you may do that. I assure you that I do have rather good impressions of you so far.

Now, I did read this draft. I won't lie...it did take me aback a little at first to be frank. I was leaning heavily to a "No" but as I read on and thought about it I think that I would have to reconsider that stance. On his own, his was a character I would not accept but when coupled with his history and the fact hes been alive so long I think that this character actually has a lot of potential for growth and perhaps some moral questions for everyone. Its risky though, This kind of format could become preachy but I like the show of ambition from your side.

I don' think I will be against this plot idea. However, I would like you to keep your character past vague and perhaps some of it kept out of the light even OOCly. Because your character been alive so long I think his past can flexible and have a lot going on with it and I don't it to be cemented totally as in "this happened" and "this did not happen" in his world.I think what I am trying to say is I think he should be explored like a ruin himself which would fit his supernatural existence and his almost ancient level of experience. In his change from the indoctrinated childhood he had to exist in a world that pretty much go against ideals and has worked rather well opposing his beliefs I consider to be a very good line for character growth.


Because your characters very extreme views though and obvious capabilities I think it will make sense to have possible police support cast in this too. Even if it just a single detective or a normal cop possibly one who has heavily studied or was very close to his grandfather that was in the war.

Besides that, I would like it if you could give me a little bit more of a description on his looks.


I won't force you to do anything. If you want to make your characters past detailed and very solid to as where has been, who has meet and what he has done(so far we only really know his more nazi based endeavors)then I won't stop you. My input is merely a suggestion. I am also open to any disagreement about my support cast input.


I was laughing when I read it took you aback, I could see that response for sure, definitely an out there character. The thought for it just struck me. Sure, there is a certain part of him (his past role) that is a bit of a fad in movies/video games these days, but the horror take on him I like to think of as more original.

I wanted to keep my past vague and not on the page, so I am on the same page with you there. That was why I had the original comment of what should be kept confidential and what should not be kept confidential. Police would be welcome (my life experience actually involves being a police officer).

To do:
-Better physical description (I was tying to have him be an 'everyman' type of look with a bit of eeriness to him.)
-Actually write out supporting cast desc.
-Edit out most of his history so it is vague, replace it with a history of current criminal activity.

My thought is that my villain branches out to whatever city the hero is in, originating in a different part of the country with his organization. This way if my villain plays out in the RP as one of the later ones, I don't have to worry about an explanation of what he has been up to in the city the whole time. If this were the case, even in the future the supporting cast could be edited for any criminal/law enforcement characters introduced in other supporting cast listings.
