I feel like I started and encouraged a revolution proclaiming [@Gowi] as the leader of the 'resistance'. XD [quote=@Blue Demon] [@Natty]That's pretty much the only route open unless someone wants to read over 600+ posts. Lol. And to have a character be pre-established. Unless this RP doesn't care about retroactively changing things, then it's not an issue. [/quote] I would say it depends mostly on these: ~How deeply was your PC involved with the other heroes and do they know them? ~How long have they lived in Lost Haven? ~Where were they during the events? ~Were they affected by these events and how? Here's a summary of the key events that would have some effect on all residents living in Lost Haven: [quote=@Dedonus] [@Fallenreaper]: How many times will we have to go over this? :hehe So the time line is: - Demon Invasion (1 month ago) - Cowl's Riots ( 1 week + a couple days ago) - Umrbaxis Fight (2 days after Cowl's Riots) - Pax Metahumana kick off with tv announcements (~36-48 hours ago) - Pacis Metahumanae domes form in key cities (a couple hours - 4 max) And let me make this straight [b]again[/b]. There have been no explosions in the key cities, at least not as a result of the devices. Archangel has made surgical strikes against some of the devices after they had been activated. Sure, those devices destroyed by Archangel "exploded", but not as a result of the device itself. Honestly, I'm not quite sure what are the exact details of the "surgical strikes". [/quote] As far as I can tell, the actual abnormal stuff (from magic to meta humans) haven't cropped up until slowly over the last few months ICly. Other than that, it was a normal city so growing up there wouldn't be chaotic until lately. The demon invasion also didn't last that long and was isolated to one section, though [@Dedonus] or [@Hound55] can correct me, of Lost Haven known as Sherman Square. The Umbraxis had, before his official fight, been traveling through Maine toward Lost Haven and attacking police stations if I recall right. And the Pax Arc affects major cities with bombs that create domes which are turning normal people into Meta humans. Other ways to avoid reading the 666+ pages of IC are: ~arrive there recently (there's bomb threats, if your relations are too stubborn to move then more than likely you're going to go there to get their arses out or some other reason) ~Not have been around the areas of key timeline events at the time but heard about it and seen the aftermath ~Not have your PC directly tied with the heroes involved and the PC been dealing with another issue, an offshoot of that. Example with the demon invasion is that your PC's neighbor was attacked by a small army of Gremlins. No offense with blood thirsty beasts trying to nip off your arse, you're not really give a crap about what the main heroes or others are currently doing that point. XD [quote=@Lord Wraith] What is the policy on making cities, are new players allowed to do it or is it an earned privilege? [/quote] I'm not a GM, but one thing I think is worth mentioning is if you're making another city make sure to have some people coming with you to play within it. CAH (A Nickname I use for the rp's name) is a sandbox rp and like many rps of that nature, it can easily have players become isolated and feel like they are writing their own story instead of one with others. So to prevent this, I would suggest picking 2-3 (including Lost Haven) cities as main areas for stories and story focus rather than a whole bunch of unused or rarely mentioned cities. It was part of the reason I suggested Gowi's city for new and old players who want to make more than one PC. However, again, I'm not a GM and this is only my thoughts and in no way discouraging you from considering making another city. Though I can tell you it most likely needs approval by the GMS. Part of me sort of wishes for a CS format which would help in guide lines for making one and what is required information.
