Me? I blame everyone, Human nature is what got us here, we were never meant to last as a species and this is just the world's final way of reminding us. I have no more use for this world, Its done nothing for me, and ive done nothing back for it, my contribution? I helped fund the RISK RALLY GP, it wasn't even my idea, I just made it bigger, and now every poor bastard with a overpowered engine and a dream is killing themselves for the entertainment of their peers. Its disgusting, but I don't care. They are all disgusting anyway, if it wasn't this itd be some other twisted game show or competetion or 'challenge'.....I need to go now, this would be a suicide note, and I still plan to kill myself. But I've got one last thing to do....[/i] -Unknown, 11/4/2079 [hider=Risk Rally GP Title] [img]http://alliswall.com/file/3437/1920x1200/16:9/fantasy-racing-car-with-fire-on-wheel.jpg[/img] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgH8CHT5Sw8[/youtube] [/hider] [b]Welcome to my latest brain child, this is the RISK RALLY GP, semi-dystopian Racing RP where you take your pride and joy vehicle and tear up the track against other players to win the grand prize and become the RISK RALLY CHAMPION. This is a combat racing RP where your player's life is at stake the minute they get on the track. Hopefully your skills and your custom built car will see you through the amazing tracks we have built. You will interact with characters in between races and the stakes will get higher as the GP goes on. There will also be bonus challenges as a side quest outside of the main GP which takes place over one week. ARE YOU READYYYYY!?[/b] [hider=WORLD BRIEF] The year is 2080, the economy is in tatters. The world has been eaten alive by corruption and the poverty line has dropped to a terrifying level, 82% of the world are living in poverty and society has truly become a reflection of dystopia. BUT the rich still need to be entertained. And there are still those desperate enough to risk it all and earn great wealth as winner of the Risk Rally races, a hyper dangerous but massively televised racing league where gutsy drivers put their lives on the line to win massive cash prizes. The Prelims are taking place in europe, with semi finals in asia, and finally the showdown in the USA. Drivers come from all over the world to win the grand prize of [b]6 Million[/b] neo-credits (which works out to about [b]$20 Million[/b] Dollars Today) [/hider] [center][b]Vehicles Explained[/b] Each vehicle performs differently and for this game we have to keep it fair. So for your performance I'm giving you [b]100 points[/b] to spend however you wish on you vehicles stats. You can choose to be balanced or specialized....at your own risk. The Categories Are [b][color=ed1c24]Firepower:[/color][/b](the damage your weapons can do other vehicles.) [color=00a651][b]Frame:[/b][/color](The durability of your vehicle, also increases ramming damage) [b][color=0072bc]Grip:[/color][/b](The Handling and stability of your vehicle on the road) [color=fff200][b]Acceleration:[/b][/color] (How fast your vehicle gains speed.) [b][color=ec008c]Top Speed:[/color][/b](The maximum speed your vehicle can reach) So for example if a car with 34 firepower shoots a missile a car with 4 Frame, it will probably be obliterated on the spot. And if a car with 29 frame rams a care with only 9 grip, its probably going to send it spinning out of control. These are all things to take into account when building your vehicle.

Theme Song: (optional) [/hider][/center] [center][hider=Racing Mechanics & Rules] [b]1.[/b] The Risk Rally/DGP is a simple points based series of races. Each individual race will award points to the podium position racers (1st 2nd 3rd) and a few to the rest (4th etc) depending on how many are in the race (up to 10). For Example: 1st 12 points 2nd 9 points 3rd 7 points The actual GP comprises of multiple races and leagues. [b]2.[/b] I as the GM will be in control of the Non-Player Racers and the Commentators (Rob and Griff). The Commentators will be giving regular updates on who's in what position in the race, and any major occurrences (like a crash) as well as general color commentary. As a player you cannot decide when to overtake your opponent, you can simply drive, and based on your stats and how you describe yourself driving and navigating the course will you improve your position. If you are described as close or near to another opponent, you can take your chances with ramming them or attacking with you melee weapon. [b]3.[/b] There will be two images for each race track one will be the 'flavour' image which will give you a rough idea of what the track and its surroundings look like. And the other will be a circuit image, which will literally be the outline of the track. I will be adding comments if there are particular hazards, weather conditions or road types worth mentioning. But we will follow the circuit fairly closely and you will take your corners where appropriate on the map, here is an example. [hider=Flavor image] [img]http://cameleon-labs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/rascal_rider_track1_general_view.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=Circuit Image] [img]http://www.hoslotcarracing.com/layout/Circuit-4.gif[/img] [/hider] [b]4.[/b] Certain regular racing skills can be used, the first is [b]Drifting[/b], you can attempt a drift on any corner, while drifting you will lose very little speed when turning and be able to cancel a slipstream if an opponent is behind you. However, every drift is a risk, you can ATTEMPT a drift when ever you like, but depending on your grip, the road type, acceleration and general speed and weight (frame) of the vehicle going into the corner I will decide how well your drift actually goes. Now even clunky machines with poor grip can occasionally pull off a perfect drift but the chances are much lower than a light machine with excellent grip. Your drift will have varying levels of success from perfect, to good, to poor, to spin-out. Which may result in a crash. The other mechanic is the [b]Slipstream[/b]. You may increase your speed by driving directly behind an opponent to decrease the wind resistance in front of you. A common tactic is to ride an opponents slipstream all the way next to them and the hitting them in corner side with a vicious [url=http://i.makeagif.com/media/12-06-2013/TGqMzK.gif]PIT maneuver[/url]. Slipstreams are a lot harder to catch when turning corners and your slipstream wont be as effective if your catching one off a vehicle that is smaller than your own. [b]5.[/b] Combat is handled in the same way as all my other RPs its essentially arena rules (no auto-hitting) except the GM can declare a hit if I feel necessary. You can attempt to dodge but in your car every dodge is going to be a swerve which will effect you racing performance, (and you might just get hit anyway). If your car does take a hit, depending on your frame and the enemy firepower or frame. You will lose a percentage of your car's 'health. At the start of a race everyone starts with 100% (which will be monitored by the play-by-play commentary). If this health drops to 10% your car is in critical condition which you then can choose to bail, which will end the current race for you and you will take last place or you can continue to race, Meaning you can still win, but if your craft hits 0% your vehicle will be destroyed and your character may die. Even if they make it out alive somehow, they will miss the next race while their vehicle is reassembled.

His skills allowed him to successfully aquire a government job fixing fire trucks which he loved dearly as his late uncle was a fireman. But his criminal record kept him from ever being promoted to any sort of decent paying position which matched his massive potential. Out of fustration he asked for a transfer and was instead offered a higher paying job as freelance mechanic for the Risk Rally GP, which paid much more and he could work part time. He reluctantly took it when he found out his wife was pregnant, but hates the very idea of the desperate killing themselves on camera for money. He tried to do his job as ethically as he can. He still has his code of honor.

[/hider] [hider=Gear Gal] Name: Brigitte Pacelli Age: 18 Height: 5'5 Weight: 118 Nationality: Italian Appearance: [img]http://i.widelec.org/3g7h_s.jpg[/img] Bio: Young genius from a family of 4 older brothers and single father, Brigitte grew up in a rough home and rough neighborhood where being sweet and innocent would get you hurt or worse. At a young age of 10, Brigitte showed her skill of fixing things. First it was things around the home that was no longer working, to building or repairing gadgets early in her teens. Being thrown into the streets by her father and hustling to make money by fixing various things, an agent from the Risk Ralley GP came upon Brigitte from word of mouth to check out her skills as a mechanic which, with some lying and persuasion, hired Brigitte with the promise that not only will she get paid a lot and live better but also being promised to help her make her own robotics company, which is Brigitte's dream of being a robot creator. Unfortunately, this was another lie as the agent who hired her was assigned to keep her busy will repairing the rides of the participants and to have control of her money. [/hider]
