[i]New York City, center of the universe.[/i] The year is 1990; the place, the East Village of Manhattan, NY. The AIDS epidemic is at its peak. Homosexuality is seen as a death sentence. Drug addiction festers. The “cyber age” threatens the classic arts. Poverty is rampant, and a tent city has sprung up in an empty lot. The housing for those who can afford it is industrial, decrepit, and has few utilities. And yet, here a community of painters, writers, performers, musicians, and dreamers thrives. In a once lovely studio building is where some of our characters find themselves, struggling with the lack of heat and electricity, and living their decrepit lives the only way they know how; without regret. --- (I'd have written more, but mobile isn't exactly the nicest keyboard on the planet) Hi! Ever see the musical/movie RENT? Well, if you're interested in a dark, sarcastic sandbox type-game and or in love with rock music and theater, then I'm sure you'll be happily inspired. This will be largely character driven, and I may require a co-GM, seeing as I've just nailed a part in my school's own play and I'll be rather busy these up coming months. If anyone is interested, I'll post the CS, and then the OOC, and we'll see how it carries from there. If there are any questions feel free to ask. --- [center]|C|H|A|R|A|C|T|E|R| |S|H|E|E|T| (Picture/Description Here) Name: Age: Gender: Sexuality: Illnesses: (if healthy then ignore) Skills: Job: Personality: Brief Bio: (can be withheld to show in the game)[/center]
