The great, floating city of Levitos. The crown of the horizon, resting on naught but the flowing tapestries of the heavens. The pinnacle of civilization, the dawn of prosperity, the dusk of humanity. Alas, how terrible the decline, but how absurdly beautiful the fall. But you don't want to hear that story, do you? No, you'd rather hear about lush tropical rainforests, magnificent waterfalls, frolicking deer, and lies. Why would you want to hear the truth? Why would you want to be prepared to enter the world...? I'll tell you why: because the world is prepared for you. It is prepared to devour you as you walk blissfully down the path of ignorance, to tread on you along the road of disappointment and despair, to crush your fighting soul. Knowing what you face is freedom. Freedom to choose your path, freedom to fight for your beliefs. That's what you want, isn't it? Come, now, quickly, your names... (I'll start at 2 members)
No one wants to learn how this civilization was brought to its knees? Not even to spare yourself and your home from torment? And I thought you were loyal to the resistance. I ask you again, speak your names!
Confusing, you say? It's very simple, you are here to learn, it is only right that you be confused. (character info is coming up soon) Well, Atrex, Ellis, I commend you for stepping up and taking on this burden, for though liberating, the knowledge is weighty.
Of course you are welcome on this journey into the past. You may find it overly convenient, but your names once belonged to famous resistance members. You, Atrex, inherit your name from another Atrex, a ...(respond with what you'd like your character to play as. i will provide details on the setting in the next post). And you, Ellis, a noble title, which once belonged to .... Lastly, Noctus, yet another noteworthy soul shared your name. He was ....
(you are members of a fairly disorganized anti-government group, whose main agenda item is destroying the corrupted system. The group is mainly composed of civilians, so keep in mind that your character, while playing a leader, will initially be ignorant of militaristic operations; however, you may choose to place your character in the role of a member of the military/police; The setting has the technological level of about 2030, but there's also a freaking floating city, so there are things I won't tell you for the sake of keeping you in character) (Lastly, ASK QUESTIONS)
(eric, i'd rather you not play as anyone in a position of power, as the purpose of the rebellion is to fight the ruling classes; of course you can play knockout sloth, come up with a name and a description of who in the resistance you descended from; and remember, the more descriptive you are, the more I can adapt the story to fit your character)
(I'm sorry, I don't think I outlined this very well; you are playing a teenager who is in a group of resistance descendants, learning the history of the resistance; however, to learn, you will be assuming the role of a family member of yours who was an important member in the early days; I'm asking for a description of who you will be assuming the role of. I hope that helped to clarify the plot)
(I will be accepting a maximum of 7 entrants, so there are 3 slots still open. To those of you who are playing, or are thinking of playing, I was thinking of doing a couple of things to make this a bit more interesting, tell me if you'd like it and if it's worth the trouble: a map of the city; a few suggestions for occupations of players, as well as an outline of some traits and skills various types of members might start with; a character sheet [I'd like to avoid it, but it might be easier for those of you who are used to having them])
Kay, Noctus Night-runner was Known for his mastery of the ninja art, he would use his skills to assassinate key members of the government. He could move silently and always had tricks up his sleeve. He was a master at most major armed and unarmed combat styles. He got shot in the head by a comrade. I, Jericho Night-runner, have inherited all of his skills, and, due to a mysterious accident, chain markings running over his arms and torso.
Sorry for the delay, I'm working on drawing out a plan of part of the city, where you will begin operations, as well as deciding just how your character info is going to be set up. Ok, eric, yours is pretty good. Make sure you highlight what he was BEFORE joining the resistance. Knowing that you are going to be an assassin does me no good in determining what skills you have prior to entry. Here are 4 things to include: previous occupation; age/sex; additional skills (if they relate to your occupation, it is likely that I will let you exert your strengths more in those areas); and lastly, additional information that explains why you joined the resistance. You all seem to have that part down. if you'd like, just list your specifications on these topics
