[color=848482]We've lived under their heels for generations. Those in the Undercity spend their days struggling to survive and remaining ever-passive under the watchful gaze of the Imperials. The few that dare step out of line are gunned down on backwater streets and alleys, and others-- if they're "lucky" enough -- are recruited into the Imperial forces to serve the Exalted. There, in the so-called gold-pathed streets of Eros, they may have a chance of a new life. This is the story of us-- a merc group called ARIES. Most of the time, we take on menial tasks, such as purging the rabid beasts beyond the safe walls of Eros. We call ourselves an organization, but we're more-so a family-- one with dreams, aspirations, and ambitions. We have each other to lean on when times get tough, but recently, times have been getting [i]too[/i] tough. The world is changing, and not for the best; food is running scarce and disease is running rampant. And yet, with all of our distaste for the Imperials, they have extended a hand out toward us. They say they have an offer we can't refuse. They have chosen ARIES as the next handful to join them, and in exchange, we shall live a life of comfort and free of pain. It seems like our prayers have been answered... or have they? [hr] 1) [b]First and foremost, do not ghost.[/b] If you need to step away from the roleplay for one reason or another, let us know. 2) [b]You must be active both in the IC and OOC.[/b] I enjoy banter with my roleplayers, along with plotting ships, silly escapades, and so forth. I don't like it when people are silent; if they are, I get the sense that they either don't care about the roleplay or aren't having fun. Posting frequencies should also be once to twice a week. 3) [b]I prefer high-quality roleplayers with high-quality characters.[/b] I'm not asking for novels for posts or wonderful literary prowess, though I don't want to have an aneurysm when I read your replies. Please, take your time in crafting good characters and decent posts. 4) [b]I would appreciate it if you discussed characters as you craft them.[/b] Each character must have a certain combative theme around them, similar to jobs. For instance, you can't have an extreme amount of prowess with lances, guns, and swords all at the same time. 5) [b]You may only begin with one character.[/b] These characters must also be part of ARIES and have known each other for a few years. 6) [b]Characters are expected to be around eighteen to twenty five years old.[/b] 7) [b]We will only be RPing as humans.[/b] No elves, etc. 8) [b]Most importantly, have fun![/b] I prefer if my fellow roleplayers were having an equal amount of fun all across the board. If you're bored or want to move on, please let us know. Communication is key. [/color]
