This rp will be losely based in its setting on the movie Hotel Artemis that I saw last Tuesday. If you have not seen the movie, go watch it. It is very good in my opinion. If you have seen the movie, good for you and I hope you enjoyed it. As for the rp, it won't matter whether you saw it or not. I used the title Hotel Artemis only for the interest check in the hope it would gain more interest that way, the actual rp will have a different Hotel name, namely Hotel Ares.


  • Rule One: While on the premises, no fighing with or killing other patients

    Rule Two: No disrespectful words or actions allowed against the Hotel staff

    Rule Three: No guns or any type of weapon permitted through the gate

    Rule Four: Membership must be paid for, full and in advance

    Rule Five: Prior but lapsed members will not be admitted

    Rule Six: No photography or video allowed

    Rule Seven: No outside food or drinks

    Rule Eight: Absolutely no visitors

    Rule Nine: If a member is found to have compromised, or led to comprise of the location of a Hotel, membership will be revoked

    Rule Ten: Hotel rules are final and non-negotiable


    Those are the rules of Hotel Ares and you better respect them or you are out of a membership and your arse is booted out onto the streets.

    Hotel Ares, like its sister hotels, is a hospital for criminals. Whether you are some hot shot hitman, a cunning mafia boss, a rich arms dealer or a sly drugslord, it doesn't matter. Within Hotel Ares the outside world stays outside. You come in to get your wounds fixed and you check out as soon as you are steady to go on the street again. The doctors and nurses may not be all gentle, sweet and friendly, but they are professionals, won't ask questions and won't call the cops...

  • Tokyo, 2048. Hotel Ares is thriving as always. It is one of the bigger Hotels with twelve rooms available. Membership is 1500 euros per month or 15.000 euros for a year, just like every other Hotel. Chips will be activated when a member has paid and deactivated when their membership has been cancelled by nonpayment or misbehaviour. At all Hotels, each room is the same in set up. It has a small lounge, a bedroom, bathroom and a medical chamber. Only the key holder and the medical staff has direct access to any of the Hotelrooms. The Hotel further has an entertain room that is available for everyone. It has a bar, tv, pool table and whatever else that is needed to be entertained. Furthermore the medical staff each have a tablet that tracks the movement of each member within the Hotel and outside of the Hotel (within a 5 mile radius) so they can prepare for emergencies. While there is an unwritten rule to stay for a maximum of five days at each Hotel, members are allowed to hop between Hotels, as long as they are wounded upon entering the Hotel and they pay membership to said Hotel. Around the world there are a total of twelve Hotels, with at the top Hotel Zeus in Rome, the first Hotel ever created.

    Hotel Zeus - Rome, Italy
    Hotel Hera - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emigrates
    Hotel Apollo - Delhi, India
    Hotel Ares - Tokyo, Japan
    Hotel Hermes - Sydney, Australia
    Hotel Dionysus - Wellington, New Zealand
    Hotel Hades - Adamstown, Pitcairn
    Hotel Artemis - Los Angeles, United States
    Hotel Demeter - San Francisco, Costa Rica
    Hotel Poseidon - Toronto, Canada
    Hotel Aphrodite - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
    Hotel Athena - Abidjan, Ivory Coast
    Technology wise, things will be slightly advanced from the current (2018) available technology. Most household devices are voice activated, mobile phones do still exist but they have hologram options and can be connected to lenses so vision can be shared. There are still not flying cars, all vehicles are however electronic. Medical wise there have been a lot advances as well. Organ transplants are no longer needed, since they can just be 3D printed. Medicins are far more effective and most surgeries are done by computer to eliminate human mistakes. Human supervision is however still needed.

  • The Asian underground has of course several subgroups, like the Yakuza in Japan, the Geondal in South-Korea, the Triads in China etc. All of these subgroups have their own groups and territories, but that all doesn't matter. Above them are the Big Five, who are completely untouchable. Or so people thought. The Asian Big Five member has died and that is all that is known for sure. It isn't certain whether he died before or at the Hotel. It isn't sure if his death was intentional, self-inflicted or accidental. There are rumors he was poisoned by his own son, there are rumors he couldn't live with all his own regrets, there are rumors he was the ultimate goal of an assassins, who was paid by his colleague Big Five members.

    The Big Five is a group of criminal overlords. They make the rules for the whole underworld worldwide. Everyone knows them, fears them and respects them. The Big Five come to action when international crimi al codes are broken or when trouble between gangs goes out of hand. They are more or less the kings and at the same time lawyers of the underworld.

    Big Five European member - TBA
    Big Five Asian member - TBA ~ dead
    Big Five African member - TBA
    Big Five America member - TBA
    Big Five Other member - TBA
    No matter what the truth is, it is only known by his doctor and the doctor will keep the secret to his grave. However this causes a huge shift of powers and possibilities for a lot of criminal organisations outside of the Hotel. Plus a great tension within the Hotel, for anyone and everyone could be his possible killer or have nothing to do at all with his death. The rules of the Hotel are clear... but will they be broken in a time of such great uncertainties?

  • 0. Above all of my rules and expectations, of course the Iwaku rules stand. These shall not be broken in my rp or I will have little mercy and report you immediately.
    1. I will allow a maximum of 18 characters and max three characters per player.
    2. I expect all of you to be respectful towards me and each other and to be open minded.
    3. All races, sexualities, and what all not is allowed.
    4. Killing or instant hitting or god moding or powerplaying is not allowed, unless you have the explicit consent.
    5. I am the GM and I make the rules. If there is a problem, you come to me. If you have a question, you come to me. I have the last word on everything.
    6. I expect some quality. So that means at least two paragraphs post, with decent (and proofread) content. I expect you to do some background research on whatever criminal organisation your character is a member from and I expect things to be kept somewhat realistic. Posting frequency that is expected is once per two weeks at least.
    7. I expect people to communicate with each other and with me, about their availability, their characters, expectations and what all not.
    8. Just like the Rooms of the Hotel can not be booked, spots to this rp can NOT be reserved. First come, first serve.
    9. Unless your character is familiar with another character, your character will be known as miss/mister Room name.
    10. Despite the dark and heavy theme this will not be a red hearted rp, so keep that in mind. Also romance and sex is NOT the objective of this rp. If it happens, good, but keep the Iwaku rules in mind.
    11. The Big Five members will be NPCs. However if anyone has some ideas on them, feel free to discuss things with me. If I really really love your idea, you may claim that Big Five member as your personal NPC. If you want to play a direct family member of a Big Five member, you have to discuss the idea with me first. I will NOT accept this in anyway afterwards.

  • Medical Personnel
    I will allow a maximum of two doctors and four nurses. All with their all specialities and backgrounds.

    Room 3 Tiger
    Room 4 Rabbit

I don't know if it is out already! I saw it during a sneak preview. But yes. YES! You should totally go see it.

And I understand. No hard feeling! I hope we get to rp together soon at some point!
 
@DarkiusHeavenstein Thank you very much for the mention, this looks pretty damn cool. I actually have a connection to the Los Angeles Crime Family in my mother's side. It would be cool to make a mobster...

Let me think about it! :3

I'm in- mostly because I feel appreciated but that isn't it!
Anyways, it seems we're not reserving yet but I have to settle a few things first,

So the maximum stay is 5 days for a criminal? How will the role play go exactly if the criminals are on limited time and are in and out? Is this an exception because of the death of the Big Five Asian Member? Or maybe I'm delirious and reading it wrong.

You are very appreciated! So welcome.

Yes. The unwritten rule is that a criminal doesn't stay longer than necessary / 5 days. However after the BFAM death, I couls imagine things going haywire and the hotel going on a full lock down. So that is how I wanted to tackle that problem xD

Wahhh, Thanks for the mention! I have to say that the premise seems interesting. But I'm having trouble grasping what the actual plot would entail? So, the rp would be centered around a hotel? Is is just one hotel or does it involved all the mentioned hotels? I get that the Asian big five has been killed or whatever and it rocks the underground but does that mean there's rising tensions within the gangs? Or is it a mystery kind of thing where they're all trying to figure how the Asian big five died? And that's why they're infiltrating the hotels?

You are welcome!

The plot would be our characters being at Hotel Ares for whatever reasons. And indeed the tensions rising between them for possible both personal reasons, as well as reasons involving the gang they are part of. Also due to the Big Five members death the Hotel will be locked down. So our characters will be stuck there and the tension will probably keep on rising.

It will not be a murder mystery kind of thing. Yes, characters may try to find out what happened exactly, but I was not planning on making that the high point of the rp.

I hope this answers your questions? I suck at explaining stuff xD
 
I had planned on setting up the character index and discord yesterday, but sadly due to Iwaku being down I was unable to do so. Today I had to work all day, so now I am too brain dead to do anything.

However tomorrow I only have a morning shift at work. So I will make sure to set up the discord and character index, and give you guys a Character Sheet to fill out!

Thank you for not turning this into a murder mystery. I get too attached to my characters to simply just allow them to perish because a murderer is after them and by the end of the day I'm too brain dead to figure out the culprit eventually leading to the character's inevitable death.

Same.

Plus I dislike murder mystery games so much. I never understand them. So I also have no clue on how to set them even up. So yeah, it will basically be about the characters and the tension and whatever shit is going on. XD
 
For those who were, are and will be interested: I have set up the discord. Use this link Discord - Free voice and text chat for gamers to join the channel. I am still setting it up, so feel free to brainstorm with me on what else I need to include

Link is also in the first post of this thread
