This RP looks amazing. I really want to have a Protector, I'll come up with a cool, but lore-friendly character. This almost reminds me of a mix of Fallout and Half-Life, both great stories, but I feel this is going to be better. Hope I get accepted!!!

Welcome to the RP!

Thanks, I'm glad that you like the idea. I can certainly see some of the similarities with Fallout, though I actually only got into that series after I worked on Alas. It takes a bit of inspiration from 1984, and Brave New World as well. I'll put you down for one of the Protector roles. If there are any questions regarding lore that your have, I'll be only to happy to answer them.

Only two, actually: First, can the protectors wear whatever they want, and is their boss literally only the Citizen head. Second, where about's is this city, in terms of Great Britain, and where is the beautiful green land in the west??

[VitaminHeart]

Protectors are allowed a small degree of variation on what they wear, Delta for example tends to have gloves and heavy boots due to what her job involves, though the Protectors all the to wear long black coats marked with the symbol that represents their name. The coats themselves are stab-resistant and so act as protection of a sort.


As for location, MK-2, as close to the site of where the town of Milton Keynes stands today, hence the name. The Western Land's location is around Wales and Herefordshire, roughly.

Ok! I'll get to work! I'm thinking Omicron...... or Theta....

Why isn't your roleplay listed in the directory forum? Furthermore Why aren't any of the newer roleplays listed for that matter? Did RoleplayGateway recently do something with it's listing function I don't know about.

[VitaminHeart]

It's showing up in the 'Newest RPs List' as far as I can see, I'm not sure about elsewhere. While as a Scholar I'm on the staff, I don't really know much about all the inner workings of the site or whether they're currently tinkering with things under RPG's hood, as it were.

I just realized I was lurking. Hiya all! I'm introducing myself so I don't seem like such a ghost. o.o'

[VitaminHeart]

Welcome aboard!

I did see and accept your application, character looks good!


I've got a couple of other RPers who might be interested in this from an interest check thread I made a little while ago, so we may get some more joiners from that, and I'm going to be putting up an 'RPers Wanted' thread too in due course.

Hey! I have submitted a character.
I could not find a nice picture.
I also could not write much about the character because I made a civilian and I cannot find information about the classes of citizen or how a normal citizen lives.

Hello, I love the look of this rp. My laptop is out of commission at the moment but I will get a character sheet in as soon as I can - a citizen.

Is this still on? I was looking forward to it.

[VitaminHeart]

It is still on and I'll be posting the first post over the weekend. Sorry for the delay folks.

EDIT: I see an IC post. My eyes confuse me.
