You missed the rabbit hole and now you're now knee-deep in the rat hole. Maybe they told you that [color=Magenta][b]Neon Miami[/b][/color] is a great place to live, or you'll have [color=purple][b]fun[/b][/color] here. Yeah, you'll have lots of fun when a methhead is stabbing you in the kidney and takes what little money you have left. Neon-Miami is full of a bunch of freaks, desperation, and corporate lawyers and every day's a fight here. You? You're the little fish... in a big, big, pond. No offense but that applies to [color=purple][b]everyone[/b][/color] in [color=Magenta][b]Neon Miami[/b][/color]. The easiest solution? Become the big fish, but you ain't gonna do it alone. You know those freaks I mentioned? [color=Magenta][b]Neon Miami[/b][/color] is ruled by "colors" and by that I mean a bunch of colorful gangs has taken over the city. You rock the right colors and [color=purple][b]maybe[/b][/color] you'll stay out of harm's way and reap some rewards. Rock the wrong colors... and you'll wish that that methhead stabbed you in the kidneys. Fortunately, we're the right colors and we'll make sure that [b]nothing[/b] ever happens to you, kid. Ready to be a [color=purple][b]Royal[/b][/color], kid?[/i]"[/quote] Welcome to the [b][color=Magenta]Neon Rainbow: The Kings & Queens of Miami.[/color][/b] An RP that I wanted to do inspired by games such as Saint Rows (primarily), Sleeping Dogs, Grand Theft Auto, Watchdogs, and Party Hard. A low-key satire of those games that tell the tale of a hyper, overcommercialized, version of Miami that comes alive at the night time. This place is known as, and it's a place that's rife with crime, degenerates, greed, and corporate lawyers. [b][color=magenta]Neon-Miami[/color][/b] is ruled by different "colors", and that I mean each and every gang takes a color aesthetic and motif and run with it. And each gang has their own schtick and gimmick as well. This is the story of one particular gang that's considered in the "middle" of the food chain and their journey to crush all the other gangs. This gang is the one that took the purple color for themselves and aim to take over Miami. The only problem? So does everyone else.

OOC Rules][indent] [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 1 . 1 |[/sup][/color] Remember that everybody is here to have fun above all else. We may throw a few flowery jabs at each other, but remember it's all in good fun. The Golden rule is: don't be a dick. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 1 . 2 |[/sup][/color] That said, remember that I have the full right to deny anyone access to the RP, and I am willing to remove anyone from the RP should they get too unruly. I hope it doesn't come to that, but I'm just putting that out there. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 1 . 3 |[/sup][/color] I enforce a policy of not informing people of every time they should post (unless their character is in the middle of interactions). If you go inactive without a peep, I'm not going to babysit you. It's a player's responsibility to keep up with the RP. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 1 . 4 |[/sup][/color] Please be respectful towards all other players. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 1 . 5 |[/sup][/color] Please do not post a "wip" sheet in the thread. I find it very irritating when someone posts an incomplete character sheet. If you want me to read over what you have so far, just PM it to me. If you need a place to work on it just private message the sheet to yourself (or write it on one of many platforms). [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 1 . 6 |[/sup][/color] This RP will strictly be "first come, first serve." Meaning I will not reserve any powers/character roles/etc, and they will go to whoever finishes their character sheet first. If there's a conflict over it, I will decide the outcome. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 1 . 7 |[/sup][/color] Character applications will go into the OOC (where we can work things out) until they are accepted. In other words, the character tab is for [i]accepted[/i] characters only. Also, do not "reserve" a spot in the Character Tab unless you were given permission to by me. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 1 . 8 |[/sup][/color] Most of the discussion will take place over Discord and it's highly recommended that you do it. [/indent][/hider] [hider=2. IC Rules][indent] [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 2 . 1 |[/sup][/color] No Powergaming, God-Modding, Metagaming, etc, etc... You know, the "don't"s of Roleplaying. You know the dealio. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 2 . 2 |[/sup][/color] All I ask for is one post a week. If it's been a week since your last post, your character will be placed into the inactive section until they are written off (mostly by death). Once a character is inactive, however, they are officially an NPC and can be used freely by the GMs, or the players. Unless you give notice of your absence, then your character is off the table. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 2 . 3 |[/sup][/color] I am not a stickler for post length. I'd rather have a meaningful paragraph, over an essay full of filler. But, I request one paragraph. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 2 . 5 |[/sup][/color] This RP, at times, will get very dark. I plan for it to be a very mature, and down-to-earth Roleplay. There will be death, drinking, drugs, and tickle fingers. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 2 . 6 |[/sup][/color] Character death is a real possibility. By submitting a character, you understand that they have to take responsibility for their actions. They will not be bailed out by me and possibly get injured or die. I won't jeopardize the story for one character. They can also be killed by other characters. I won't go out of my way to kill off any character - that I like - but I may injure them for the sake of the story. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 2 . 7 |[/sup][/color] Romance/Sex/Whatever is allowed in the RP. "Fade to magenta" is so beaten into your heads by now that there's no point in even repeating it. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 2 . 8 |[/sup][/color] To keep things a bit more organized, please say where your post is taking place at the start of your post. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 2 . 9 |[/sup][/color] If you're also expecting me to hold your hand every step of the way, then you're going to be disappointed. This is going to be an RP that rewards taking initiative, and starting plotlines of your own. I'll provide a storyline, but I'm not going to be railroading everyone. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 2 . 10 |[/sup][/color] The tone of the RP will be moderately light-hearted. It's a satire of games and stuff that glorifies the criminal lifestyle, after all. [/indent][/hider] [hider=3. Character Creation Rules][indent] [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 3 . 1 |[/sup][/color] Everyone's going to be a member of the Royals and that's not under discussion. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 3 . 2 |[/sup][/color] I expect some moderate detail when writing your character sheet. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 3 . 3 |[/sup][/color] If your goal is to basically make the strongest/best character, and try to "win" the roleplay, let me stop you here and say you won't get far. This is a story, not a place for you to wank your OP self-insert. Nothing says "I'm a bad writer" to me than giving your character the strongest abilities (along with an ass-ton of skills). I will not hesitate to ask you to change whatever I dislike about your character sheet. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 3 . 4 |[/sup][/color] If your character is a sociopath/psychopath, complete badass, perfect character, edgelord, then they're likely not going to get accepted. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 3 . 5 |[/sup][/color] You can create a character of any ethnicity, gender, sexuality, background, etc, within the bounds of realism of course. You can definitely get creative here. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 3 . 6 |[/sup][/color] I'm not placing a hard character limit, but I'm going to recommend you have no more than three characters. Afterward, you better bring something new to the table. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 3 . 7 |[/sup][/color] We're using western art for this rp, no anime but any art style you can find. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 3 . 8 |[/sup][/color] When creating a character, try to be diverse. Look at the character sheets and try to fulfill a role that [i]no one[/i] has. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 3 . 9 |[/sup][/color] Please refrain from tacking skills onto characters. Try to make everything feel natural to your character. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 3 . 10 |[/sup][/color] The RP is not a cyberpunk RP (because I'm certain one of you didn't read a thing) and will be grounded as far as stuff like magic and technology goes. Which means normal, current era, weaponry and none of that ridiculousness. [color=magenta][sup]⋗ 3 . 12 |[/sup][/color] Remember the Neon Aesthetic! [/indent][/hider][/indent] [hr][/indent][/quote]
