@kersel It’s been a considerable length of time. I didn’t give a year at first so I’ll say at least a century to 150 years since 2085 when the wars began.

@Zim0cron That sounds good to me! They could actually be the cell that built the Sk8teNet (Check Billy's page for context)

Pokémon: Rust

Just doing a quick bump to see how people are doing. Hopefully y'all are still interested in this story! Haha! Also, I'm trying to expand the character roster, but the people on the interest board don't seem to want to bite anymore despite bumping it. I know some of you are doing other Pokemon RPs here on the site so if you know anyone who'd be interested in an Overseer or Team Star role, lmk.

Sounds good to me. If you’ve been approved, just move your character over into the characters tab when it’s finished/finalized. You are still free to edit information after the fact since I’m still fleshing out Billy’s character bio. I just wanted a basic outline for people to follow at first.

All the characters looks great so far! My one suggestion would be to anyone playing Sk8te members, if you are introducing a new cell into the mix, try to include a short blurb about your character’s cell (I.e. the background, what they are known for, type of people in the cell). I don’t want to flood the forum so this way if people see a cell they like or identify with, they can have their character in that cell instead of making a whole new one.

@Lucky the cloak doesn’t sound like a problem to me. My thoughts there are maybe it’s a work in progress sort of thing? Like, Verse has a basic version at the start of the rp and it advances over the course of the story as it gets more high stakes?

Hello, RPG! Welcome to this crackpot idea I've had for over a year that I finally decided to throw out there! I'll spare you the long answer here and direct you to my original interest check post that has all the basic info about the setup and worldbuilding for this rp. You can find it here! -> https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/188436-sk8te-a-dystopian-cyberpunk-rp/ooc

Hey everyone. For your character sheet, just copy the basic from the example I posted below. If you aren't doing a member of Sk8te, then simply replace the "Tagsign" and "Cell" parts with your "Status" (Cred or Heir) and respective information.

FOR HEIRS: If doing an Heir, you are free to give a "Corporation" they have control over/their family controlled in the past (preferably fake).

FOR CREDS: If doing a Cred, make sure to include their "Occupation" in place of a cell.

FOR SK8TE: I addressed this in the OOC tab, but if you are doing a Sk8te Member please make sure to check the Characters tab before you make a new Cell. There's going to be overlap if everyone gets to make a new cell so make sure no one has already used your idea first. Also, you are welcome to join other players' cells.

Sk8te

Name: Billy Morgans
Tagsign: Blaze
Cell: Afterburn
Age: 29

Bio: Billy had been born into a Cred family and was raised on the streets of Delta City for much of his youth after his parents died in a factory fire. A natural runner, he quickly learned that stealing was a necessary evil in order to survive. Using his gift for speed, Billy would often run through smaller stores and grab items he needed off the shelves before the shop owners would even register anything had been taken. Eventually, Billy was contacted by a Sk8te cell that was impressed with his athletic ability. The cell took Billy in and he became a top courier and thief in a matter of months.

A year after his induction, the cell's hideout was raided by Delta City Police. Despite escaping, Billy decided to go back and save his crew. He fought the cops while the rest of the cell escaped, and was brutally beaten for it. Both Billy's legs and his right arm were left crippled as a result. However, A Sk8te-friendly Ripperdoc managed to replace his destroyed limbs with cybernetics, now granting him a grappling hook in his right arm, and a pair of afterburners in his legs, allowing him even faster movement than before, stronger kicks, and his trademark tagsign: Blaze.

With his former cell in ruins, Billy decided it was time to set out on his own. He ended up creating his own Sk8te cell: Afterburn. Seeking out the fastest runners he could find, Billy swore to ensure that no one could ever slow him or his crew down ever again.

Appearance: Billy has reddish-brown hair, a lean but muscular build, green eyes, and a cybernetic arm and legs. His typical attire consists of a fitted t-shirt, polyraydex pants (a material that is immune to his flames), and running shoes.

Afterburn: Afterburn is one of the more infamous Sk8te cells within Delta City. Members of Afterburn are known for being notoriously fast runners (many of which have mods to accomplish this), which makes them ideal for working as couriers and thieves within Delta City. It’s often said among Creds and a few Heir circles that, if you want something delivered discreetly or stolen quietly, seek out Afterburn. While their main skill is traversal, Afterburn is one of the only cells that employs Sk8teNet, a closed-circuit network that allows users to track safe routes through Delta City, Police Patrols, and even short range hacks to get into more restricted areas of the Megacity.
