Shadows in the Dread City


It is the year 2120. Humanity has terraformed Mars, and sprawling mega-cities sweep across the red planet’s once barren surface. The all-powerful industrial trade kings known as “Osi-Corp” hold dominion over virtually every aspect of day-to-day life, and technological synthesis has reached previously unseen levels.

Whilst these monumental advancements have ushered in a new age of development for mankind, they have also brought about innumerable horrors.

In Megacity Arcadia, one of Mars’ many immense settlements, crime and corruption run rampant. The Arcadian Peacekeepers have become nothing more than puppets of the city’s countless mob bosses, as gangsters and schemers govern from the shadows.

Growing up in Megacity Arcadia, all you have ever known is backstabbing and bloodshed. It was impossible to make it from one day to the next without getting your hands dirty, and the devil has been walking right alongside you, every step of the way.

But it's all about to get so much worse.

Aurora Baines, queen of the Black Brethren crime syndicate, has happened upon an item of incomparable worth: a map to Arcadia’s Golden Disk.

Thought lost at the birth of Arcadia, the golden disk is a data storage device which holds codes and ciphers that would supposedly grant one complete control of the Osi-Corp Network, or “Os-net”.

With the map in Baines’ possession, contenders from every corner of Arcadia have risen up against her; whilst a grisly all-out-war threatens to come exploding into being.

Whether you stand united or alone, time is of the essence, and the future of mankind itself may very well hang in the balance.


OOC


Shadows in the Dread City is a cyberpunk (the subgenre of science fiction, not the Mike Pondsmith rpg) rp, set in humanity’s dark future. I will include more information if the interest check is successful, but the bare-bones version is that this game plans to follow a war between rival futuristic gangs, with player’s taking on the role of different characters of their own creation, throughout the various levels of Arcadian society.

So, any takers?

I've got some competing interests on the table, but I'll still bite.

Thank you for your interest, all!

I'd say this warrants me pushing on with the game. I shall get more infomation up asap, so we can all start work on character sheets, and such.

And what if I beat you to the lore? :P

The character I would want to use has a fairly large amount of material integrated into her history to the point where its getting more and more difficult to actually adapt it. This is kinda my issue actually, since I'm basically caught between being able to have the setting/lore I want, and being able to tell the story that needs to be told.
