Welcome to my Signs Up || Character Sheet || OOC Thread. Please review the information below before creating a character. Click on the Character Sheet tab for the information required.

The roleplay follows the history of the United States, with a few deviations. The great depression of 1929 resulted in complete economic collapse in the United States. As a result, many citizens of the U.S. turned to anarchy, leading to a rise in gangs and a decline in government protection. Without a central and government backed currency, chaos ensued in the states. Those who wanted to survive either joined gangs, headed to the borders, or fled underground; hoping to find a place of refuge.
The second difference is that John W. Davis won both the 1924 and 1928 elections; integrating socialist policies and intense regulation of businesses borrowing some inspirations from Karl Marx's communist manifesto. This led to many corporations being owned by government officials, provoking business leaders to demand for government reform, or the impeachment of John W. Davis. However, some business tycoons simply disappeared, and many people believed the government secretly eliminated those individuals.
During Calvin Coolidge's temporary presidency after the death of Warren G. Harding in 1923, he engaged in a multitude of scandals that benefited the Ford family's financial endeavors and hindered labor unions to the Ford business. As the Ford scandal surfaced, many turned to demanding policies in the regulation of companies and the investigation of private government ventures. Only one candidate, John W. Davis fit the bill.
One final note, after the scandals surfaced, the Ford company disappeared completely, and the projects that Coolidge funded were never released to the public.

The setting will take place in the underground city of Fervor, which uses Art Deco architecture, similar to the buildings of Rapture, but with underground themes, such as caravans, caves, lakes, lava, mines, and much, much more. For genres, expect horror, ribofunk (basically bio-engineering and DNA splicing), and dark humor. You can also include other themes and genres depending on how your character interacts with others, as the genres I've listed are just the basic premise, tone, and setting for the roleplay.

All roleplayers will create one main character, a passenger on the train. As the roleplay progresses, I'll allow roleplayers to create other characters, if they can handle the workload. For now, all NPCs will be played by the GM.
For the roleplayers' main character, they'll be able to flesh out anything about their history and personality as long as it makes sense in the 1900s America setting. The minimum age is 20 and the oldest age is 50 for characters. More details will be given, when I flesh out the character sheet. Do note, that your characters will obtain Plasmids (essentially biological spells) and Gene Tonics (Passive spells) early on in the roleplay, but not at the start of the roleplay.
Please leave the Genes section blank in your character sheet.

1. Follow the Iwakuroleplay guidelines.
2. Post at least once a week.
3. Please write at least two paragraphs and no more than five paragraphs, so there's some substance, but it's not overbearing.
4. Be respectful towards others and remember to include others in the RP.
5. When coding, please make sure the text isn't too small, and the background doesn't distract from the post. Just show me a preview of your coded post, or feel free to not use codes at all.

A small disclaimer, this RP isn't for the faint of heart, as there'll be heavy, intense scenes of horror and gore. You might not initially feel terrified due to the RP's start; however, I'm still placing this warning, since it'll get dark at some point. If you have questions, concerns, or comments about the roleplay, please list them down here. I've chosen to hide a majority of the plot, mainly to keep the story a secret, leaving it up to the characters to locate the pieces in the RP that make up the story.

You do not need previous knowledge of Bioshock games/lore/books to roleplay. If this RP interests you, would you kindly create a character.
I'm only accepting up to seven roleplayers for this roleplay. Currently, we've room for three more.
Thank you for reading my Sign Ups || Character Sheets || OOC thread. [/hr][/hr][/hr]
