Slice of Ghetto

[Metronome]

A slice of life type RP, but with a group of people who live in the slums of the big city. Drug addicts, gang members, criminals, prostitutes, hobos, or just some guy trying to get by. They are brought together by the street they live on. Some live in the crappy apartments across the way, some live in one of the crack houses or shacks, or some even live in the gutter. They found a sort of common bound that helps them though the hardships of life.


Anyone interested?

Would there be a main plotline? We could go normal streets or full on dystopian, gang/warlord controlled streets like for example in Deus Ex.

[Metronome]

Let's get some more people and then see what they want to do first.

[Embrz]

Ooh, I like this idea. Definitely interested.

What does everyone want out of this? Do you guys like the idea of a slightly futuristic city that's divided between the upper and lower class? The lower class being somewhat suppressed?

Do you want a modern day RP?

Any other ideas?

[Crya]

Personally I feel it'd be just a bit insulting to try (and inevitably fail) to RP a modern day "ghetto" setting realistically. I'd prefer a futuristic setting.

[Embrz]

Futuristic class warfare is always fun, I think. I personally enjoy fighting the ~system~.

[Grothnor]

I vote Future, and agree with Crya. Best character I could see myself realistically playing was a Hobo.

[Metronome]

I like the idea of a future setting too, but I don't want that to consume the whole RP. The RP, for the most part, is about the day to day struggles of these lower class people, not fighting the government or whoever. I just don't want people to get that idea.

It wouldn't be a dystopian RP because for the upper class citizens, life would be perfectly fine. It really only sucks for the 'undesirables".

But yeah, a future setting could work.

[Amestris]

Definitely interested. I have a couple questions, though. Where would this take place, and where would it be going? (For example, are we going to just write about their everyday lives, or will they get into some trouble with a gang or something.)

So, yeah. Very interested.

[LetterA]

considering metro, she probably doesn't have any idea and its just gonna be a slice of life rp until ahem gets an idea

unless that's wrong

but i still wanna play a hooker or sm
maybe two

[Embrz]

All of this still sounds great to me. Count me in for sure!

[shivershiver]

Did somebody say hooker? Count me in.

[Metronome]

lolAisright

See, the great thing about a sandbox RP is that all that stuff can happen. One character might get in trouble with a gang, and the other have to bail him out. Another character might have trouble with an abusive spouse, and someone else lends them a hand. ect
