Prologue

The Orphanage, late evening

The room was illuminated by a single candle, leaving most of it obscured by darkness. It didn't matter, though, because the most important part of it was clearly visible. The candle sat at the night table next to a bed on which laid the old man who, for years, has been the only parent you knew.

You always knew Fritz as a vigorous old timer, with his clearly defined muscles lying hidden under the layers of clothing as he played the part of a kindly grandfather trying his best to raise his numerous grandchildren. He only showed the extent of his power when someone endangered the Orphanage and in the recent years that has become extremely rare.

But now that strong body that you knew and that seemed so reliable has shrivelled up. There was no trace of muscles on old man’s body, just skin and bones. Fritz was so weakened by the illness he couldn’t even lift himself from the bed anymore. Even to eat, he needed the help of Mary, the oldest of the orphans.

Right now Mary sat right next to his bed, trying not to cry. You and the other children were standing around it. The entire population of the Orphanage was crammed in here. The old man asked everyone to gather because he had something to say, which was in itself a very ominous act.

“Children…” His eyes darted around the room as he began to speak – something told you he probably couldn’t even see who was in the room – and it seemed as if he had trouble breathing. “My time has come. I know that even without me saying, you rea-“ his speech was interrupted by a bout of coughing. It took a few moments for him to continue.”You realize that soon things will become very difficult for you. I tried to make some foundation for your future, but in this world nothing is certain.”

“That is why I wanted to tell you, as my last lesson, to remain united. You are all young, and although there is a lot of potential among you, none of you is strong enough yet to face the challenges of this world alone. So remain together, cooperate, compensate for each other’s weaknesses and you will be able to survive and even thrive in this city.”

With those words he had another coughing fit and this time it was relentless. It took several minutes before Fritz managed to push a few more words out.

“Be –cough, cough – be there for – cough, cough – each other…”

And then there was silence. No more words, no more coughs, no more ragged breathing. Fritz’s chest wasn’t moving. His eyes just stared blankly into the air.

The silence was broken by a piercing shriek from Mary who fell onto the old man’s chest and cried. Other children joined her soon. Very quickly the entire room was resonating with wallows of orphans, orphaned once again.

OOC

Just describe your reaction, your plans for the future, and try to get the things going with other players.

The Dirt Town Orphans - animeish, high fantasy gang RP [Always accepting]

The Dirt Town

The Dirt Town Orphans RP is inspired by Saints Row games in that it is about gangs vying for control over a city in an over the top fashion. It is also inspired by Dragon Age 2, in that it will follow PCs rise to power and wealth in the city over the course of many years. Final – and most important because it kickstarted the whole thing – inspiration comes from the story of Emperor Kellanved from the “Malazan: Book of the Fallen” novels and how he went from being a tavern owner to being the emperor of the world’s most powerful empire. I forgot to mention in the Interest Check, but The Warriors movie was big influence as well.

The main idea is for PCs to make their own story. I am not going to railroad you into fighting this boss then that boss then another boss. You pick your own fights and alliances. I also won’t create my own PC who will act as the leader of the Orphans – you players will have to sort that among yourselves. I will just provide you with the playground, the sandbox, and it is up to you to make something out of it. Whatever you choose, though, don't think I'll make it easy!

Premise

Once upon a time, in a universe far removed from our own, there was a land called Oblivion. In addition to its ominous name, the people of this land have a peculiar way of doing things. Namely, people of Oblivion believe that you only deserved as much freedom as you are capable of taking by your own hands. They called this the “Philosophy of Chaos”.

In this land of Oblivion, there is a city called Yire-Alba. It is one of the great cities of the land. Yire-Alba is a city divided into districts, each district ruled by a gang, each gang led by a person titled Archon. The Archons often fought between themselves in attempt to take control of the entire city, but at the beginning of this story they had been stuck in a stalemate for a decade.

In this Yire-Alba, there is a place which was not ruled by any of the Archons. It was called Dirt Town, and it was the largest slum in Oblivion. Surface-wise it was half the size of the rest of the districts combined but its population was twice as high. It was a terribly crowded place where all kinds of scum and lowlife made their dens.

In this Dirt Town, there is an orphanage. In this orphanage a strange, but powerful old man called Fritz gathered unfortunate children who were left without parents and protected them from the harshness of the world.

Alas, the old man Fritz is on his deathbed and the Dirt Town Orphans – which is the name given to them by the other denizens of the Dirt Town and which the old man Fritz adopted – are now left to fend for themselves.

Will they manage to carve out their place under the sun or will they be devoured by the cruel world of Oblivion? Well, that’s what this story will try to find out!

Common Sense

"You know the thing about chaos? It's fair." - Joker, The Dark Knight

Chaos – an ideology of “strong rule”. It can be summed up as “You are allowed to do anything you wish as long as you are able to defend yourself from those who you piss off in the process.” There are no taboos in Oblivion.

Magic – a supernatural force which exists everywhere in the world. Every living being has some magical potential within itself, but for most it is too weak to manifest. Those whose magic is strong enough are usually the ones who set the rules in Oblivion.

Tainted – people who have been physically influenced by magic. Usually this means they have an extra body part than average human (such as horns, tail, wings, talons, etc.), but it is not rare for their entire appearance to be inhuman. In Oblivion there is no discrimination and persecution against the tainted folk.

Spirits – magical entities which feed on people’s emotion. They exist everywhere and are a fact of life in Oblivion. Humans and spirits often cooperate to fulfil their goals. It is common knowledge that all Archons have at least one spirit ally.

Ad – spirit realm that exists parallel to our own. Normally, humans can’t enter Ad.

Great Cities – ancient cities, centres of population in Oblivion. Life in them is very tumultuous due to constant power struggles. Because it is very difficult for somebody to take control of one great city, it is extremely rare for one group or person to rule several of them.

Yire-Alba – a great city located in the north-east region of the Oblivion, most of it is located on an island close to the coast, with only the Outer District and Dirt Town being located on the mainland.

Gangs – groups formed out of ambition or necessity, gangs are fact of life in Yire-Alba and Oblivion. They are the law in the area which they control. Gangs are constantly in the state of alert against bigger gangs devouring them or gangs without territory usurping them. Most gangs usually have one leader called “boss”.

Archons – bosses of the big gangs which control the seven districts of Yire-Alba. They are all incredibly powerful individuals, which is why they have been in a deadlock for a decade with neither Archon being able to get advantage over the others and take the reins of the entire city.

Ikkitousen – In Oblivion there is a huge power discrepancy between average people and powerful warriors. The latter possess magical ability so great that they can easily face hundreds of lesser combatants and win. This is why average gang member in Oblivion (and Yire-Alba) is not meant to fight other gangsters but to keep the normal population in gang’s territory under control, while fighting in gang wars is left to the boss and lieutenants.

Yire-Alba Districts

Yire Forum – the centre if Yire Island, a 600m tall tower is located in the middle of the giant forum. It is the centre of learning in this part of Oblivion.

High Garden – the high-class area located on the slopes of small mountain of Kerna. Rich merchants make their home here.

Pale – the downtown of Yire-Alba, most business of the city operate here. It is also the location of the city’s port.

Tatalus – the entertainment district. It is the centre of arts and high culture. Anyone who wants to appear refined frequents Tatalus.

Nox – this district is the manufacturing centre of the city and home to most craftsmen. Products made here are sold all around Oblivion.

Alba Castle – a gigantic fortress located on a small island nestled between larger Yire Island and the mainland, it is the gateway to the city.

Outer District – a district dominated by the Boulevard of Respite where many inns and shops can be found. Outer District is home to those who weren’t rich enough to afford living on Yire Island but are not so poor to be forced into Dirt Town.

Dirt Town – a three dimensional maze of shacks and ruins, Dirt Town is horribly overpopulated and filled to the brim with misery. People who are left with nothing as well as people who want to escape something or someone come to live here. Dirt Town is separated in three areas: Northern, Western and Southern Dirt Town. Orphanage is located in the North Dirt Town.

Map of Yire-Alba

Dirt Town Orphanage

Located in an ancient but relatively well preserved temple dedicated to an unknown deity, Orphanage provides an incredibly good standard of living for a building located in the Dirt Town. Thanks to it having many rooms, children sleep in groups of 3 or 4 per room. There is also a large hall for dining located at the back of the temple. However, the building is dominated by the main hall where religious ceremonies used to be performed in the past. Nowadays, it is used by old man Fritz and big sister Mary to educate children or when a new member of the Orphanage has to be introduced.

Orphanage is nestled on a river island called the Asylum Island, so named because in the heyday of the temple it also served as a refuge for people with deadly and contagious diseases. The name still holds true today as well, though for a slightly different reason. Although a powerful man, Fritz knew he couldn’t defeat all surrounding gangs who wanted the island for themselves, so he struck a deal with the most powerful bosses to make the Asylum Island a neutral territory, used for negotiations, trade and other possible inter-gang business. This has resulted in the Asylum Island being somewhat sheltered compared to the rest of the Dirt Town and many people have flocked to it for safety.

With the old man at his deathbed, there’s no telling if gangs will continue respecting the island’s neutrality.

Northern Dirt Town Bosses

Boss (Gang): Those not described are too far away from the Orphanage for Orphans to be familiar with them.

0 - Dirt Town Orphans

1 – Mr. Shiro (White Blade): The most immediate threat. It took a defeat of Mr.Shiro at the hands of old man Fritz for him to accept the Asylum Island’s neutrality. Of all the gangs surrounding the Asylum Island, the White Blade is the most disciplined and methodical. Mr.Shiro has slowly expanded his influence, making sure he consolidates his hold on his gains before moving on to take new territories.

2 – Stalwart (Vengeance): Stalwart isn’t officially part of Fritz’s original agreement because she wasn’t a boss at the time it was made but a right-hand woman to Mr.Shiro. However, after a recent disagreement, Stalwart went to form her own gang and usurp a White Blade territory on the other side of Mudstream.

3 – Momo (Nyanjin): Probably the friendliest gang around the Orphanage, and maybe the whole Yire-Alba. Momo doesn’t appear to be very ambitious and is more concerned with keeping what she has and enjoying the finer things in life.

4 – Shogun (Streetwise Samurai): The Streetwise Samurai where only a fledgling gang when the agreement was made, but Shogun was still invited to it. The gang has since expanded tremendously and Shogun doesn’t show any desire to stop.

5 – Veyles (Soul Reapers): Veyles is the person who has been a gang boss the longest in the Northern Dirt Town, and that’s saying something. However, rather than owing this to his own strength and intelligence, it is thanks to his friendship with the Archon of the Outer District that he remained in power for so long. He was the first boss to accept Fritz’s proposal to make the Asylum Island a neutral territory.

6 – Gengxin (Destroyers)
7 – Isgran Fyur (Wolf Pack)
8 – Joy (Furious Force)
9 – Sweet Tooth (Candymen)
10 – Lady Spider (Lady’s Brood)
11 – The King (Kingdom)
12 – Kaiser (Legion)
13 – Alchemist (Dirt Town Research Institute)
14 – Reverend Goldmane (Followers of Zig)
15 – Captain Hellen (Azure Sails)
16 – Uwa (-no gang-)

CS

Appearance picture or description goes first (use this formating). In the land of Oblivion a lot of people are born tainted by magic, which results in them having parts of the body average humans don't have, such as tails, claws, wings, horns, etc. Some are almost completely inhuman in appearance.

Name: Only first names or nicknames.
Age:10 to 15.
Gender: Male / Female.
Background: Describe your characters personality and history. One paragraph is enough.
Equipment: Your weapons and other tools. Nothing too amazing, please.
Level: You start at level 1. The level shows your character's growth and experience.
Attribute: Force / Finesse / Focus / Fluid
Skills: List 3 non-combat, non-magical skills you have.
Affinity: Dark / Water / Wind / Earth / Fire / Light
Gift: Make a magic ability based on your elemental affinity (see hider below). As your level rises your gift grows stronger and you can add more abilities to it.

Attribute Explanation

Attribute is a descriptor which represents the preferred fighting style of your character. It refers to both their magical and their physical combat ability.

Force – You prefer to overpower your enemies. Your punches may be slow but each of them hits hard. You can also take more punishment than others.
Finesse – You prefer speed. You can use many attacks while others use one, so who cares if they barely leave a scratch of half of them miss. You are also hard to hit.
Focus – You are the precise sort. Your aim your attacks at enemy weakness. You position yourself in an advantageous spot before engaging.
Fluid – You are jack of all trades, but master of none. Other attributes are superior to you in their respective specializations, but you are superior to them in everything else.

Gift and Affinity Explanation

Gift is a blanket term for inborn or instinctively developed powers due to high affinity of the individual towards a certain element. What abilities a Gift bestows upon a person depends on the element he has affinity for. Although every living being, and especially every living human, has some degree of affinity for an element – which element it is usually depends on the affinity of parents – less than half of them are capable of displaying Gifts. Even rarer is for the Gifts to be sufficiently powerful to influence that person’s life significantly.

Dark – The primary type of Gifts developed from the affinity for Dark is creation of darkness and shadow manipulation. However, there are also cases of people developing ability to instantly teleport from one spot to another nearby, step between shadows or create extra-dimensional pockets of space. There are also Gifts which allow the user to summon creatures out of their imagination.
Earth – Earth is the element of change, adjustment and shaping, and as such its Gifts are primarily focused on allowing the user to shape their surroundings. The most blatant example of this is manipulating earth around oneself, but also to create chemical and physical processes. Some Earth Gifts make the user able to pile up raw materials and immediately turn them into the final product.
Fire – Gifts of Fire are categorized as either self-empowering or destructive. The former type increases abilities of the user and usually follows it up with physical alterations to the person’s appearance - they can grow new extremities, increase in size, gain bestial visage or radiate a fiery aura. The latter is pure usage of fire in all its destructive glory. There is also an extreme rare Gift of Fire which allows user to manipulate emotions of the people around him.
Light – Being able to cast lightning is the most basic form of Light Gifts, but usage of Light to heighten one’s senses is also quite common. It also not rare to see Light users develop Gifts which allow them to make themselves invisible, but full on illusions are much rarer. There is also Gift to send messages at long distances or know the state of someone or something from far away. The rarest Gift of them all, however, is ability to see past and future.
Wind – Probably the most peculiar affinity one may have, Gifts of this element most of the time grant the user the ability of telekinesis, aka moving stuff around by just willing it, and those with very high affinity can even make themselves fly. The less common type of Gifts is manipulating intensity and distribution of sound waves. The rarest, and it is indeed extremely rare, to the point of only 1% of those with Wind affinity having it, is the ability to manipulate time.
Water – Those with affinity for this element have the most straightforward Gifts. Aside from the quite common ability to manipulate water and other liquids, there are also those able of healing other organic beings or creating various types of barriers. Water users may also develop the Gift to create water out of nowhere, and some attain a rare Gift of creating ice.

The Fall of Scorn [A Fantasy Tale and Always Open!]

Name – Beselot Berhe

Gender – Male

Age – 24

Race – Human

Personality – Beselot is a gentle and friendly person. Although somewhat introverted, he is still easy to talk to and he will never rebuke someone’s desire for conversation. He is easy to make laugh and once he does it is void of any restriction. He rarely gets angry and when he does it is not a destructive rage but a subdued desire to right a wrong or find a solution that would benefit everyone.

Backstory - Although born into a minor family of nobles, Beselot has spent most of his early life in the ascetic lifestyle of a monastery. Originally, he was just given to education, monasteries being a cheaper option than great universities, but his aptitude for holy magic was quickly discovered and it has determined his future ever since. As he was growing up in the monastery of Sol, Beselot has learned the magic of the Father of Creation. He refused to rest on the laurels of his natural talent and applied himself diligently to study and training. His goal was to become a paladin of the Sun God, to help and protect the weak. That is why beside his study of magic he trained his body for battle.

After spending nearly 10 years of his life in the monastery, Beselot passed the test for becoming a paladin. He then left the monastery and began wandering the Empire, helping people in need. He fought bandits, monsters, crime lords and many others, but the biggest impression was left to him by what he experienced in a small town called Luge. There, a plague wrought havoc on the populace and in a month two thirds of the townsfolk were dead. The only reason why the spread of the plague to other regions of the empire was prevented was due to the swift reaction by the local lord who quarantined the area. Unfortunately this didn’t help the inhabitants of Luge at all and they were left to their suffering.

Beselot was initially disgusted by the lord’s actions and tried to help the people, but he soon found that his healing magic was not sufficient for the task and without an actual enemy for him to confront his combat skills were useless. He was helpless as he watched the townsfolk wither before his eyes. By the time the plague has run its course only Beselot and a dozen other people remained (Beselot thanks Sol’s divine protection for his survival). This experience was humbling and it made Beselot realize that there are misfortunes in the world that had no easy solution.

Motive – It is only natural that a paladin of Sol would answer the Emperor’s call to fight the Scorn.

Magic Abilities:

Blessings of Sol – Beselot is capable of using magic which heals cuts, bruises and broken bonus - the greater the injury, the longer time it takes. This ability is always active for Beselot. He is also able to create shields for protection. His only offensive magic is a ray of blazing fire. Beselot's sickle is also coated in the flames of the Father of Creation which makes it more harmful to the unnatural creatures, such as the undead and demons.

Combat Abilities:

Dervish’s Dance – This martial art is developed to fight against numerous opponents at once with emphasis on speed and precision.
