If possible, could you explain the point of this RP? Is it some supernatural hospital? Or just crazy people?

Also...you might wanna do some research on amputees... I have quite a few friends that lost limbs in the war, none of them are crazy. If you try to make it look like people who are disfigured in war are all crazy and stuff..you WILL offend someone.

Well one, from what I read this is not a realistic role play. It's mixed with some fantasy and the fantasy part is that the doctors are giving the men and woman who suffer from the bombing the so called new limbs that have their own souls. So, if a new limbs, have souls of their own, messing with another person's soul, along with their mind, one would go crazy over that yes? The plot, is as said, you wake up, in said hospital, and you will first, overcome the horror of the soul limbs, then if you manage to keep your sanity, and your life, you will have a choice to go into the war to kill the people who made you suffer or do your own thing.

Example 1.) I'm gonna join the army and whip them people upside down!

Example 2.) I'm gonna find a new place to live. *Said place gets bombed again* Well shit!

See my point? So, it should not really offend anyone. It's more about the mystery of the war and why the limbs mess with the peoples minds, or worse... So, with that said...

I would like to join! :D

Noxize: Are you f-ing serious? If you read right, then you would find out that the prosthetic/mechanical limbs are making people crazy.

Scarlet Bullets: This is like the fifth time you complain that an rp of mine isnt realistic. Well duh. It is fiction. It is a mix of dieselpunk, fantasy, horror, thriller and mystery (can add drama if you have THAT type of character). By the way, you dont go back to war. The war came abruptly to an end. It is uncertain though if it is a ceasefire or an actual end to the war. The likeliness that war would come again is somewhere between 20% and 50%.
It is more like if you manage to stay sane with your environment bombarding you with creepy, freakish, horrifying or sometimes gory, grotesque stuff, then you have the choice between eliminating the doctor, nurse, scientists or whatever is responsible for the somehow insane, somewhat supernatural occurrences or killing another antagonist (such as my criminally insane character) or just committing suicide to escape the misery, if there seems like no other way.

And with Fallout, dieselpunk (20s, 30s, 40s, only conventional weaponry, no nuclear capability yet) is like retropunk (Fallout, 50s, nuclear capability) just set a bit earlier. Imagine, it is if WWII had more technological progress (minus nuclear warheads). Some examples for dieselpunk are FMA, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, Crimson Skies, Bioshock etc.

It depends on the authors perspective. Since my view on the entire world in this rp isnt 100%, it leaves room for roleplayers to add some content. Just I hope this one doesnt die after 60 posts like my other rps. My longest went up to like 600 or 700 posts (but therefore it went for about half a year with four posts a day or so).

Honestly, the only part that mentions the limbs MAY be the cause is this:
"Some say that the mechanical limbs have their own soul. Others are just screaming, trying to get them off."

Which could easily be read as 'The patients being crazy..and thinking the limbs are alive.' If it's true that the limbs ARE in fact the cause..you might wanna make it more clear.

I had a few simple questions...no need to get all hostile there.

[Aniihya]

It is supposed to come across as the most probable source of the insanity is the mechanical limb. It isnt certain but it is probable.

Oh. The verbal stabs... I can't take it. XD No, I did not mean to sound like I was complaining. I don't really remember the four other times either. I was simply defending your roleplay non hostile when Noxize said people will be offended. No one should be the bad guy, I just hate the fact that someone could come along and like Noxize point.

Random guy: Hey! I know someone who has that! That's not funny!!!

So they go raging at you. No, that would be awful. So, ya, sorry, about, all that your soaking in and thanks for explaining things to me and Noxize.

I hope it gets somewhere, though, the way things are, it sound like a rocky start. Bum Bum Bum....
