Ultimate

Ultimate

0 INK

After a drug turned a high percentage of the population into violent people, a large section of the UK was sectioned off with the hope of containing the drug and infected people. Not currently accepting character submissions, sorry!

1,490 readers have visited Ultimate since GoodGracious created it.

Introduction

If ya want to go outside, you better make sure you stick to the shadows. Otherwise, the gangs will be shootin' at ya, the sellers will be shoutin' at ya - buy some Calm, I can see you need it sweetheart - or the thieves will pull you down and strip ya of all ya've got.

Yeah, ya better be careful, darlin'. Inside The Wall, it's a mad place.


Image

Image

This is not post-apocalypse and this is not about zombies.

Everyone is living normal lives - enhanced by a wide range of harmless drugs - except for a small section of the UK enclosed by electric barriers, known to those inside as The Wall. In there, there are no laws and no systems. Unless you count the countless gangs fighting for power. That's the closest they have to a government.


Image

The population of the world are addicted to drugs. Most are harmless and widely accepted, designed to calm people or bring their mood up for example, but three years ago scientists introduced a new drug called Ultimate. It was designed to enhance senses and physical power. The government wanted to rush the trials, as the public were getting itchy to try Ultimate (as were the government officials), so human testing was cut down to just three months.

The first two months went fine. The drug worked as planned with no side effects, but during the third month of trials - a fortnight before the release date - the scientists noticed the chemical structure of the drug was changing. So sure that the drug would be successful, they’d already manufactured hundreds of boxes of the substance. They tested what had already been made and found the same problem: the chemical structure had evolved.

The original test subjects were fine (and the effects of the drug had long worn off), but the recent subjects and those that took the mutated drug, had heightened senses, heightened physical power, but also heightened personalities, particularly those with a tendency to be violent.

The scientists announced they’d no longer be releasing the drug and the public were furious. That night, hundreds of boxes of Ultimate were stolen from a warehouse. In an international panic, knowing that thousands of strong, violent people were about to spread into the public, they sectioned off a proportion of the United Kingdom.

The Inside – as it became known – was lost to chaos in the space of a few weeks. It was lawless, dangerous and just about destroyed.

Image

Three years later, there are thousands of people still living in The Inside, fighting for survival in a gang-ruled land. Beggars, prostitutes and shifty traders line the streets and frankly, it's not a great place to live.

People are still making all the drugs, including Ultimate, which are sold on street corners in stands that used to be burger vans or hot dog stands. There are rumours there's a new type of Ultimate being made, one that will last.

Image
Image
Ultimate was designed to enhance senses as well as physical power, but after all the batches mutated, it also enhanced the violent tendencies in a person. It makes the pupil very wide as well, but due to the drug, the person doesn't struggle to see.

It comes in a patch, similar to a nicotine patch, that sticks to the skin.

It lasts for a week, but over use of it can result in the effects being more long term. People that use Ultimate regularly can find the effects last for up to a fortnight. There's rumours that somewhere in the depths of the ruined city people are trying to create the ultimate Ultimate. Designed to last.

Image

These drugs are all harmless - for the most part - and people all over the world use them in everyday life. Like Ultimate, they're all a clear patch that sticks to the skin.

Image

I may add to these during the course of the RP, but I'll notify you to any additions


Image

The plot is very much down to the players and I'm really flexible on where to begin. This is my current plan:

A group of people are living in the city, trying to keep out of the way of the major gangs and basically trying to survive. They live in an overgrown park that, since the city was closed off, has become overrun with trees and nature, providing plenty of cover. They occasionally take people into their small community, but rarely. They make deals and trades with people, but try and stick together.

A few of the members are at the coast when they come across a guy (or girl) that claims to have come from the outside. Many people have tried to cross the ocean before, but there are electrical barriers in the sea too. The guy (or girl) is trying to get through the city. I was thinking maybe he/she could've been sent by an organisation (government, newspaper, whatever) to see what it's like in The Inside.

Like I said, this is just an idea to get the ball rolling. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I'm open to anything.

This is a small roleplay so there are only five character slots available and, as it's so small, I'm going to have to say everyone must be part of the small community. You can still be former gang members, wanna-be gang members, tough guys, soft guys whatever. I just think it's important everyone is (at least to start with) ready to interact with each other. You can choose everything about your character (though it'd be great to see a range of genders and personalities), including how long they've been at the community thing for.

However, I will allow one person to be the girl/guy that comes from outside the wall. You can decide on what your aim is (eg. why you're there.) If no one wants this character, then we'll have to edit the plot a little, or I'll play them.

I won't be choosing people by first come, first serve; once I have a few character sheets, I'll pick them by quality. Because of this, there's no set skelly, but there are a few essentials:

Name:
Age: (Between 16 and 20 please)
Gender:
How you got to the community thing or why you're there.
(You can include this in another section if you want, as long as it's there)

Use you common sense as to what other things go in. Have fun everyone!

Just a tip: If it looks nice, I will be more likely to pick you. It's judged on quality, but appearance is part of that.

Take any questions to the OOC and I'll be more than happy to answer them.

Matthew pursed his lips together, noting that the information was brushed off fairly quickly. Even though most gang members were nocturnal, they had been a bit erratic recently as more Ultimate had been passed around and had jacked up lots of the gangsters, although most of them stayed to their usual routine, keeping active at night. Although, that made it a bit dangerous as well - The ones being out during the day now probably hopped up on Ultimate. Matthew shuddered and he sighed. He needed to get some other patches, perhaps some Happy and Sleep for himself, but only if there was any they could spare - He wouldn't take what others needed. Matthew glanced head before gesturing.

"The street here to the left is a bit of an erratic area, just as fair warning. There may be a couple daywalkers out here." he said, before falling silent. He got the impression that the less he spoke, the better - Which was usual. Despite the information he had to offer, they probably didn't need it after all. Matthew looked about uncertainly before continuing to silently follow.

Rita glanced at Ash, but didn't respond, hoping that perhaps if they didn't admit they were in danger, danger wouldn't find them. Not that it had ever made a difference before, but maybe this time. She swallowed and led them forward, her ears straining to hear any sign of people around. Gang members weren't exactly common, but they weren't the only threat. There were dangerous people that worked alone, or in twos or threes, that would be just as much a threat to them. She rounded the corner and paused, scanning the area for danger. The mangy animals wondering around were no threat, at least not these ones and not while they were in a group. Wolves had been known to drag people - especially smaller girls or children - into alleys or the petty woods at the edge of the city. They hadn't even known there were wolves on the Inside at all to start with, but it didn't take long for their population to increase.

Other than the smashed bottles and rubbish, there was no obvious sign of human life. There was blood on the pavement. It was a good few hours old, but that didn't mean whoever the victim (or attacker) was had gone. Rita glanced at Ash and Zero, checking they hadn't spotted anything she'd missed and when they looked unconcerned (at least, as unconcerned as they could do) she moved forward, careful to keep her steps utterly silent, but with all the broken glass, it wasn't the easiest thing.

Re: Ultimate

I need to apologize- I have been out of the country for the last week, so I am just NOW able to get into the swing of things. I should have said something sooner, but I figured things would be fine...my dude needed some time to pass before jumpin into things anyway.

I'll have a post up tomorrow, I just need to sleep now...4:08 AM here...and I need to reprogram my sleep time back from Africa.

Again, sorry.

Re: Ultimate

Yeah, I'm not sure what happened to her. I sent her a PM but never had a reply. I think we're going to have to assume she's not playing anymore. Of course, HeavenAndHell, if you end up reading than and want to join in then just post a message here and we'll work out a way to fit you in. I've posted by the way and sorry for the absence. My life is so hectic at the minute and I'm afraid I'll only be able to post a few times a week. I hope this isn't a problem with anyone!

Re: Ultimate

I was somewhat hoping that Heaven would have posted by now, but whatever... I'll be posting Ash in just a moment.

Re: Ultimate

I just posted so you guys can post now assuming you don't want to wait for a reply from Heaven first. If you do want to wait you should at least read it, I think it may give you something to think about.

Re: Ultimate

Yeah, that's true. I've sent her a PM as well now so hopefully she'll get it soon.

Re: Ultimate

I sent her a PM yesterday and I haven't had a reply. Although she did like she wanted to be involved since she did post about adding history which suggests that she still wanted in. Perhaps she thought it wasn't starting because she hasn't been checking the OOC and didn't see any posts for a few days since she was picked?

See Arha I can be a detective too.

Re: Ultimate

Don't worry, I figured you were just waiting. I don't know if HeavenAndHell still wants to be involved as I haven't heard anything from her, but I'll send her a PM and find out.

Re: Ultimate

I'll make a post soon, just waiting for the right spot to drop in.

No worries, I havn't forgotten.

Re: Ultimate

Yeah, that's cool :)

Re: Ultimate

Sounds right, I'm gonna go read it now and make my post. I'm not sure how/why John would go but I'm sure something will pop up.

Also can I just make sure that you all know that John hasn't spoken to anybody but Joe yet? He would of just sat around for a few hours last night looking creepy. Also I don't think he would of told Joe that much about him either probably just that he is looking for a home.

Re: Ultimate

Okay everyone, I've made the first post! Everyone is in the dining room and it's breakfast time. I figured that at some point Joe could come in and ask Rita (as she'd been as the Base for a few years, so Joe knows her well) to go down to the beach and make a trade of some kind. She goes with the others and they meet Samuel there.

I've assumed that Cassandra and John are both new (and this is the first breakfast they've had at the Base), but Matthew has been there a few months. I hope this is okay with everyone. So go ahead and post people!

Re: Ultimate

I believe GG said that they could not start until the day after tomorrow as they are busy tomorrow.

Re: Ultimate

Awesome. Got the job. Now, when were you thinkin of starting this? I know you said in PM....but my tablet is being a dick.

Re: Ultimate

Checking this during Chinese III class probably wasn't the best idea.

I think i terrified my teacher and classmate with that scream. XD

Re: Ultimate

I feel so stupid...
I literally just danced around in the top floor of my house. Good job no ones in!

Re: Ultimate

I've chosen the characters! Sorry for those that didn't get in, but I could only pick five and yours were lacking the detail some of the others had. Sorry!

To everyone else, well done on your characters sheets. I won't be able to start tomorrow, as I have a busy day, but we'll start the day after. If anyone has any ideas on plot etc, just leave a note here. See you soon!

Re: Ultimate

Okay cool. I'm fine with people editing their characters as much as they want (well, until tomorrow) because I'll look through them all tomorrow afternoon again anyway.

Re: Ultimate

I have edited Zer0's sheet to include equipment.

Re: Ultimate

Hey everyone! I'll be picking characters tomorrow afternoon, so if anyone still wants to submit one, there's time!

The way things are at the minute I'm going to have to reject a few people, but it's going to be hard to decide! If you want a tip, just remember to add detail.

Thanks for all the brilliant submissions. :)
