Byzantium City



Navigation
Byzantium's hexagonal points are used as directional references, going clockwise starting with The Beacon (the bright skyscrapers on the eastside). Each Point takes up a good radius of the outer rim. Downtown is considered the central area where all points converge.

Hello everyone thanks for showing interest in this RP! I put some information about the city up so you can get a sense of Byzantium. This RP will have elements of Sci Fi, Action, and Horror. The horror part will be a combination of survival and psychological.

Keep in mind that all of us were survivors once. We managed to escape the post-apocalyptic chaos on earth to live in what was supposed to be a safe haven. This will be geared toward a mature audience so cussing, sex, violence, drugs, and other dark themes will be used often in this RP.

I'll try and add more info throughout the week. I will also get an OOC up if we get a couple more interests.

Does this have any form of linear story line or plot? Or is it a sandbox RP in which we can do what we want throughout the city?

It will be sandbox for the most part. Everything is free to explore with the exception of certain parts of The Beacon. There is a central plot where RPers have the choice of coming together, but you are free to lone wolf it.

Interested. I have a few questions though:

1) Can you go more a little more in-depth regarding the Vaccination? As in, why is it a threat if it heals most of the people, only killing the few that reject it?

2) Since the characters are pre-judged by the AI or mainframe (whatever you wanna call it), does that mean if ones character has malicious intent, they will automatically be disposed of? Or exactly what? And if they have already committed, let's say - murder - will they be prosecuted fairly or does the criminal system change from what it was on Earth?

Be happy to answer them QT

1. The publicly stated answer is that the vaccination (the first one given on the 5th year) that was administered through the centralnet worked like a sweep and hard reboot to the entire population. Those that were healed were basically cleansed of any bugs or glitches that made them vulnerable to an infection from the virus that spread at the time. Those that survived of course retained their faculties. The official statement regarding the deaths that occurred was due to an aggressive reaction to those gravely infected. "In an attempt to eradicate all errors present in the victim's cyberized brain, the sweep protocol of the vaccination replicated exponentially in those who were in the worst stages of infection." It basically deleted their brains.

2. People have been known to fake the psych-tests and pass as good-natured citizens when they're really cold hearted bastards. The crime rate in the outward district is a testament to that. Byzantium's justice system is pretty straightforward. They'll attempt to rehabilitate you for soft crimes, but murder is handled immediately. An appointed judge from Beacon weighs in on the final verdict after all manners of evidence are presented to him by the BPF. You are clear of charges if there is concrete proof of self-defense, otherwise you're either executed and harvested for organs, shot out as space junk, or mindswept (basically a reprogramed shell of your former self).

Should also be noted that guns are illegal. Stun or concussive type weapons are the standard, and they're only issued to BP officers and citizens who have been screened for self-defense intent only. However, BPF is attempting to crackdown on gunsmiths popping up around the Outward District. They must be getting their parts from materials processed over at Crater Bay....

I'm interested and would probably join. Some character ideas:

  • An up and coming hologram artist from Greater Downtown who is a double agent for the BPF or some other organization.

  • A gunsmith/weapons smuggler for upper class society with a debt to settle/some kind of resistance fighter

  • A government scientist who worked on the first vaccination, has concerns over the new patch

  • A human trafficker who sneaks undesirables into Byzantium from Earth, based in the Outward Districts



Just what I could think of from the info given. This RP looks like fun.

Great to hear that this picked up some more interest. Rhymer, I love your ideas! Either one of those would be fantastic. I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with.

I should have the OOC up sometime later on. I want to add some more info before I do. I suppose in the meantime everyone can get started on creating your character. Also, the current year is 2114. I'll elaborate about the post-apocalyptic conditions on earth in the OOC (Think Fallout or Mad Max), but it was basically a lawless world where some communities did their best to preserve whatever goodness they had left in them. Everyone else went completely bat shit crazy.
