All in (dis)Order

IC & Character applications--> "All in (dis)Order"



In the city of Serroc, order is everything.
Governed and run by a formidable woman known only by her title - The Grand Sensibility, and her cruel, unforgiving reputation, the citizens of Serroc know their place, and the consequences of stepping out of it.

Serroc is divided into 5 regions, separated by a long, winding river which springs from somewhere beneath the center of the city and has been made to run in four circular moats. This centrepoint island is home to Sensibility, most of the island taken up with a large, menacing tower that at least gives the impression that the Sensibility has eyes everywhere, overlooking all. None enter here save the highest ranking of her Orderlies, the 'peace-keepers' of the city, or so named by Sensibility (and few others.) It is accessible only by one large bridge which runs between it and the second region, guarded day and night by Orderlies. Sensibility herself seldom leaves here, preferring to govern the city from a distance, through her minions.
The second region, circling the first, is where these Orderlies dwell and work in their Courts of Order. Citizens visit this region only to report chaotic activity, or, more frequently, to be judged and punished for some disorderly activity they are said to have been involved in. The disappearance of a family member or friend in the dead of night is not an uncommon occurrence, and questions about it can lead to the same fate for the asker. Few who are dragged to the courts of order return. Of the punishments themselves little is known, save vicious and vile rumours and the occasional screaming through the darkness.
The third, middle region is given to the upper-class citizens of Serroc, judged to be strict followers of order, or born into a family judged so. Fraternization between these and the lower-class is discouraged, though not strictly prohibited, and may cast doubt on an otherwise clean record.
The business district lies snugly around the third, frequented by all citizens and even the civilised fey, if they have significant reason to do so. Behavior is guarded here, however, for the orderlies patrol everywhere.
Travel between these three is easier, with a number of ferries travelling back and forth through the day as well as private boats and rafts. Only one ferry is available for passage between the business district and the last region, a community scattered around the outskirts of the city, bordered on almost all edges by Hyde Woods, a forbidden place that houses all manner of fey creatures.
The shambles community is home to the lower-class citizens of Serroc, placed there for being fey sympathisers or simply too poor to move to the more respectable third region, and a number of 'civilised fey,' creatures who have agreed to live by the rules of The Grand Sensibility to live in the city, albeit on the limits of it, with very little freedom to travel around, for leaving the city shows a chaotic spirit and no fey creature is permitted any deeper into the city than the business district, with the exception of those who have been hobbled so as to render them unable to use their abilities and serve as servants for the Orderlies, Upper-class citizens and, it is rumoured, Sensibility herself. Slaves would probably be a more appropriate, if unspoken term for it is not necessary to pay the creatures for their services, save providing them enough food that they do not starve and are able to do their duties.

For far longer than anyone can remember, the city has been run this way, and none have questioned it, or those who did were dragged to the Courts of Order before their question could be voiced.
But a number of citizens, fey and human alike, growing weary of the oppression, have come together in secret, the beginnings of a rebellion.
For too long, anything 'disorderly' has been judged with fear or violence, and the people are stirring.
A change is beginning to occur....

This looks quite interesting, although I do have a few questions.

First things first: exactly what literacy level would you consider this roleplay being?

Also, I know you said there wasn't a real plot line but is there a path (even in its smallest measurement) you wish for our characters to take for both the 'good' (whichever that may be) and 'evil' characters?

And lastly, for the written introduction do you want that to be a description like introduction (I know obviously there needs to be some) or an interaction like introduction....

ok I know I said lastly but...I swear this is my last question: Are their limitations on technology and occupations, ex. could characters range from an alchemist to a genetisists or from medieval knights to modern day snipers.

sorry for the inconvenience.

As I wrote in the rules, which for some reason didn't come through, I would prefer semi lit+ but it's more important to me that you bring a creative and imaginative mind than that your spelling and grammar is correct. With the intro I was meaning I just don't really want to see
Name;
Age;
Likes;
Hair;
Eyes;....

sort of thing but the context your intro comes in is up to you, it gives me an example of the style you write in etc.
The only pathway I've created with the intro is that there is some kind of resistance group forming, as for the ''bad'' side of things I'd be interested to see other motives for evil people can construct, but basically they serve Sensibility in her mission to keep magic and ''chaos'' out of the city.
Technologically the city would be more sided to medieval ages and Sensibility wouldn't want the citizens becoming too advanced, but who knows what level of knowledge she and her followers have reached in the secrecy of their parts of the city.
Haha that's still a little vague, isn't it? It wouldn't be up to modern day level, especially amongst the citizens and creatures, but you would have a little more freedom as one of the evil forces.

No probs on the questions, if you don't ask you can't know =]

bleedingcrimson, nice character, you've been accepted. Waiting for a few more to join before we begin.

[Machubi-Uniki]

O.K. thanks a million.

I will be getting to work on the character now. Sorry I couldn't start sooner. With Thanksgiving and all the family I really had zero computer access. ;)

I also have one more question though that wouldn't effect my intro at all...at least not the one I am working on. =.= I was just wondering if there was a character limit. This is of course for future creation and such because for now I really only feel like rping one, but hey you never know, things change and such.

Thanks again and I am sooo sorry for asking more Y-Y,

-M

***P.S.
The secod character I would be making would be this (though I don't know for sure if I will make him):
A male character that works for the ruler and such. I have and idea for motives but that is subject to change and probably will be so I won't bother posting it yet. Plus, I need to sleep. C-ya. Also, I posted my character Sae hope you enjoy her. ;)

Last but not least concerning Sae's ability to see into the future. If I write it of my own free will it will only effect my characters. The only time I will use it to effect others will be when you decide to give her a vision. That is my rule in all rps where I may have a character who can experience premonitions. Otherwise they will be small things like seeing a fruit drop from someone's hand. Or something that only effects my character. ;)

Adios

*chu* -if you have ever read a manga you may recognize that as a kissing noise. <.< >.>

******Edit: ok, sooo, due to the unnoying lack of male characters I am feeling the need to create my second character, soooooo I will get to work on it AND with your permission I will submit it. ;) Plus, I have just practically fallen in love with the character in my head *-*

[mindless_invalid]

Sounds great I really like Sae.
The only time I will place a character limit is if it seems you're getting in over your head, if you can handle playing twenty people I have no problem with it =]

With the foresight thing, if you do want to involve someone else just throw them a line here and get permission, if I have any interesting ideas for her I'll let you know,..

A darker charrie will work great as I said I'll also play Sensibility to begin with.

also...
muchly appreciate how much attention you paid to the intro (:

I'm gonna throw a post in the ic now guys so feel free to whenever you like...
I go to uni so may not be straight on to replying but I check in everyday or two.

[mindless_invalid]

ooh, wow.
Erm, please ignore the two blank posts in the IC board people, I'm not sure how or why that happened.
I'm way tired haha.

[Machubi-Uniki]

Glad you like her :D

Also, no problem with the IC thing, can't even count the number of times I've done something, or rather the computer, has done something wierd. XD

[BleedingCrimson]

I'm so glad we've started! I'll post asap, hopefully it will be up to par!

[mindless_invalid]

Sorry about the delay in posting guys, Laptop crashed with two uni assignments saved on it so I've been stuck doing a lot of entirely unenjoyable writing.
BleedingCrimson where is your character? From your post I'd guess in the outskirts of the city or the woods?

[mindless_invalid]

Haha the time difference is ridiculous. Before I changed it to australian time (where I'm from) all my posts were at like four or five in the morning default time...

[mindless_invalid]

Onemi is great, he's accepted.
He'll make for an excellent and interesting member of the rp I think..

[Machubi-Uniki]

thank you much

I still can't believe i spelled his name wrong. I don't think I have ever done that before, you can imagine my shock i am sure. I was positive that v was an m. My computer is messing with my head i think... >.> <.<

can't wait to see yours.

-M

[mindless_invalid]

I've put her up! Man I have the biggest hatred for that little reset button on the character sheet, that I pressed accidentally instead of Submit.
WHY WHY would they put a button at the bottom that irretrievably deletes your whole character? WHAT IS THAT?????

[Machubi-Uniki]

tell me about it. I did it once with a character I literally spent two days and seven hours working on, if you were to put it on a word document it would be about ten pages long and then accidently...reset. I was pissed no doubt.

Anyhoo, super excited to write about the card game...and its outcome. nya nya.

Onemi and Calamity could have an interesting relationship, i don't know, they just both seem like they need a close friend that won't get whipped to death if they were to be befriended.*blink blink* Someone he could talk to other than the orderlies that actually know his real name ---which by the way he hates with a passion--- nya nya nya.

[mindless_invalid]

Yay! Friends! Sinething Cal definitely lacks haha. I posted.

[Machubi-Uniki]

I am working on one.

I will have it up as soon as possible. Sorry for and delays.

*chu*
-M

[mindless_invalid]

No problem =]

and *chu* to you also =D

[mindless_invalid]

@ValaunDae'Voth and Reaperz, you've both been accepted. Feel free to post when you think it's appropriate.

[mindless_invalid]

Anyone still here? =( Hope this one hasn't died on me ...
