[color=2E8B57][h3][b][u][center]Maps[/center][/u][/b][/h3][/color] [hider=The City of No Names] [img]https://image.ibb.co/cGq7YG/No_Names_City2.png[/img] [/hider] The City of No Name is an uncharted map that is never owned by any countries around the world. The size and exact location of the city is currently unknown. People who have heard rumors about the city may access it by booking an entry ticket from certain sources. [color=DAA520][b]Dock[/b][/color] Place where (rarely) outsiders and citizens come into contact. This is the place to book a ticket off hell; though for some reason it is really hard to find boats willing to bring passengers away from the city. Also, this is the only main route citizens of the city get things that they cannot manufacture themselves such as medical supplies [color=DAA520][b]Lower & Upper Districts[/b][/color] These are the only places where inhabitants get to buy their own houses and not be worried (although not guaranteed at all) that someone would take ownership of their homes; as military forces will (supposedly) patrol the districts and secure their safety... or that is what claimed by our new Mayor Jess. The houses in the lower district are just like the ones at the slums; while the upper district offers more luxurious houses and places to go for the rich and powerful. As to how to access the districts... Mayor Jess personally handpicks people who are qualified. [color=DAA520][b]Market District[/b][/color] The busiest and most lively place in the city. People of all walks gather here to trade and sell/buy services. You can buy just about anything here as long as you have the money... [color=DAA520][b]The Slums[/b][/color] This is where most citizens of No Names city live. Crimes and deaths occur on a daily basis; and houses have to be fully barricaded and guarded heavily before they are considered (slightly) safe to live in. This is also the place where the legendary mission board is said to inhabitat. [color=DAA520][b]Military area[/b][/color] Our Mayor Jess owns a military force and it is located right north of the upper district. She personally commands the army (they have tanks, ships, and highly trained infantries) and has the power to annihilate the whole city anytime she wants. So this is absolutely a place to avoid. [color=DAA520][b]Industrial Complex[/b][/color] A place where manufacturing of goods from canned food to military weapons are done here. Controlled heavily by the military. A secret subway entrance can be found here. [color=DAA520][b]The Abandoned[/b][/color] People who are too poor or sick are often left there to die. It is a very remote place with minimum amount of survival supplies. [hr] [color=2E8B57][h3][center][u][b]Tradings[/b][/u][/center][/h3][/color] The City of No Names has three circulating currencies: the [color=Green]Euro[/color], the [color=DAA520]gold[/color] and the [color=FF00FF]Js[/color]. As you can guess, the Euro comes from the real world - Europe's currency. The gold stands for gold bars. People melts them down into smaller weights (like coins) and use them as currencies. The Js is the city's local bill created and circulated by the Mayor Jess... It has her face on it. For now 100 Euro = 1kg gold = 10Js. [hider=Purchasable Goods] [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4511040]Apartment Units[/url] [/hider] [color=2E8B57][h3][center][u][b]Technology Level[/b][/u][/center][/h3][/color] The year is 2017 and technology advancement in this universe will be similar to the one our current world is in. However, because of the poverty and crime rate of No Names City, local technology seems 20 years behind. Laptops, smart phones, or the internet (Yes, no wifi) are not a common knowledge to the local inhabitants. You may have brought in modern items (electronic devices) on your own if you were from the outside world, or if you are rich and have the connections. [color=2E8B57][h3][center][u][b]Politics/Law Enforcement[/b][/u][/center][/h3][/color] No countries have ever tried to claim the city. Whether or not the world leaders know about the city's existence is still a mystery. The city was fundamentally lawless; until the day self-proclaimed Mayor Jess took over the city by military force two years ago. No one knew her origin, or why she would want to take over a city like this; but everyone knows she is not mayor material - she is a nutjob. [hr] [color=2E8B57][h3][b][u][center]Role-Players' Guide[/center][/u][/b][/h3][/color] [color=DAA520][b]General rules[/b][/color] Don't be scared by the wall of words, but at least skim through most of them to get the general theme before posting. Although I really like to read elaborated stories, you don't have to feel obliged to post as many paragraphs or keep up with any grammar standards (as long as everything is readable). Also feel free to ask questions and make suggestions on anything. I am open to ideas. :) [color=DAA520][b]Role-play characters[/b][/color] You can be any roles you want as long as they fit the universe and they are humans. Sorry but no abominations/creatures up for role-play in chapter 1 yet. [hider=Character Sheet] Style the sheet with your own creativity if you want. :) [color=DAA520]Name:[/color] Anything you want to be called. Can have a real and a fake one. [color=DAA520]Appearance:[/color] Describe or photo. [color=DAA520]Age:[/color] As long as it makes sense. [color=DAA520]Birth Country:[/color] You can be a local or lived somewhere in the real world (USA, India, etc.) [color=DAA520]Family members:[/color] you may have side characters and you can include them into the role-play as well. [color=DAA520]Role/Occupation:[/color] What you do everyday. [color=DAA520]Starting Fortune:[/color] how much money you have. What equipment did you bring with you. Do you own a house in No Names City? If so how does it look like? [color=DAA520]Strengths:[/color] What you are good at that help you survive till now. Make sure that your strengths and weaknesses balance out. [color=DAA520]Weaknesses:[/color] What traits you have that might one day get you killed [color=DAA520]Greatest Fear:[/color] What do you absolutely hate to have under your bed when you sleep at night [color=DAA520]Background/History:[/color] Where were you from; why are you here; what do you want to achieve; and anything you want us to know. *[color=DAA520]Hidden background:[/color] If you have something you only want to reveal at the end, and you want other RPers to try figure out, PM me to make sure it is lore friendly. We can also lay out clues to make things more fun. ;) [/hider] This is essentially a survival mystery game. You will explore the city in your own way, and gather information about mysteries over time to better help you survive. For [color=ec008c]Killers[/color]: Several contracts will be posted on the mission board per week, and you get to pick whichever you like on a first come first serve basis. Contracts will have information on the background of your victims (or even posters so you can track them down for reasons ;3), and you will have to use them and do your own information gathering before you make a perfect kill (you may choose to poison, shoot, stab, burn, eat, etc. your victims) For [color=8dc73f]Contract-Posters[/color]: Get an additional role as well (maybe someone living in the upper district, or a mercenary serving under the mayor); because posting too much is bad for your health for reasons. You may either send me contracts in PM (and wait for the killers/detectives to track you down), or post it yourself. Anyone including a killer can post. For [color=00aeef]Detectives[/color]: Depending on your goal, you may track down killers or contract-posters or investigate the secret nature of the city. I'll give corresponding clues on areas you investigate. Also, I didn't plan to use any dice-rolling mechanism for now, but you can make further suggestions as to how this game can be carried out.
