Not too big on History, but will play a Fantasy History based RP if I have the time to do the research. At this point, I'm deeply into Japanese History based stories.
Not very good at Military genres and not strong in writing out fight scenes, but will jump in the center of the storm to better myself.
Dog Eat Dog Original RP: http://www.iwakuroleplay.com/showthread.php?t=14314
I'm reopening this RP for a new group. The original is linked at the top, if you wish to scan through the summary of the first RP (for the fun of it), or you want to scan over the few notes I did post on their that's important. Eventually, I'll get all of that information moved here, and have the old RP removed.
Anywho, this is a simple survival RP... Scavengers trying to survive living within the desolation of the USA after the government falls short of their expectations. Survivors are also trying to stay away from The Dogs, The Pit Territories, and The Trades.
But, the main people a Scavenger must protect themselves from, are other scavengers...
Act One: Gnawing at the Bone
2015 – The US has falling into corruption. Food is scare and the few who have survived the Government Crash of 2012 are now fighting for freedom from suffrage. Cops, who were meant to serve and protect, were now killing anyone for food themselves. No place, and no one, is safe anymore.
The Army and National Guard are still working to maintain some sort of order. Since the Presidential pyramid has been broken, the Secretary of Homeland Securityand the top Generals of the four major Armed Services are working together to building a new government format and strengthen the people's trust for it. But, it's a terrible challenge.
After three years, life has flipped back to something like The Great Depression of the 1930's. Everyone is protective of their own – what little they had for themselves. They've become scavengers, hunters, hoarders of whatever they could find or gain. The ole mighty dollar has lost its value in the US – but a few hold on to their money, faithful that things will return to normal. In the few major territories (former cities) that have survived this downfall, a system called bartering credits have become the new currency. If you have something the other wants, trade it for something they have that you favor, or for credits...
But, even if trades are done in good faith, there are many who feel that it's easier to just bully their ways, force their gain, and take what they want. They are called The Dogs… the Alphas of this new era. They are people who are use to getting their way, strong and forceful, attacking the little guy to self-appoint themselves as the new rulers of the lands.
There are several Pit Territories established now, with a leader, advisors, an army, citizens and slaves. They protest their territory, keeping their laws and abiding their rules. They allow new members to join their family, but under their conditions. If you deny this, then you're forced into slavery.
It's always best to avoid those areas… But, if you by chance step across their lines, expect to fight for your freedom.
A Brainstorm about Territories!
[SPOILI]
Basically, the typical Territories that have slowly been created are Free Territories. They are created by whoever just happens to be there who has the leadership to band a group together. They 'establish' themselves as a Territory. When others come their way, they let them know who they are and invite them to stay, if they so wish. Rules and laws are created, and eventually a Territory is born.
These Free Territories are open to all - a rough carcass of democracy is established in these areas. For the Military, who are working towards rebuilding the nation, this can become a problem. This is why the New Nation is attempting to break down these Free Territories and create Secured Camps for Survivors of the Government Fall. They can control the odd pimples of democracy and reestablish the type of layout they wish to instill. These Military Camps are shunned by Survivors, mainly because they run themselves like a Pit Territory; just another Big Dog taking advantage of and running over the little pups.
The Military fear the large growth of Free Territories, because there is a pending revolt coming about against the New Nation establishment and their poor efforts in rebuilding.
Pit Territoriesare created easily enough. Someone bullies their way into leadership in a Free Territory. The larger Pit Territories were once smaller Pit Territories that were, eventually, found by the Haven and built up for the growth of more devious schemes.
The Havenis a Free Territory that is protected by the Military. The reason for that is because they are ran by a very old, and highly established Catholic Church. Their members, most who are still alive, have high tides with the old government - way before the Fall took place. They've reconnected with the New Nation and finagled their way into the center of their activity. So, the Haven is considered like a Military Camp, in a way, without being certified as such. They receive government funds to rebuild, rations and several other things, like internet and such, that most other Free Territories have to struggle to get.
But, what the Military doesn't know is that the Haven is not the sweet little Territory it assumes it is. They are playing their cards and gaining protection, only to play a higher stakes game with thePit Territories in the Trades. Seeing more profit coming from human trafficking, organ sales, slavery, and child labor, the Haven has set itself up as the secret manager of the Trades.
Free labor for anything, to rebuild cities, to scavenge for usable items, to farm and garden for foods, to run still existing factories and such, or to tantalize pleasures; people are kidnapped and sold to the Trade. The Trades are contracted by the larger Pit Territories to find the labors or heads that they need for various things, which they pay either with animals, supplies, surplus, or bartering credits.
The Haven is the secret ring leader of the Trades, and after (I believe) 5 or so years after The Fall, they have created five large Pit Territories that are ran by Dogs - the Slavemasters. They've become mighty powerful in their own right, but the Haven is considered their gods.
As of right now, no one knows that the Trades and the Pit Territories are connected to the Haven.[/SPOILI]
Territories (You can add your own!)
[SPOILI]Free Territories: Freemont (Largest City Territory) Everyone is trying to get here!
These territories still are capable of running almost as if life has never changed. They still have the highest amount of workable technology, but not a lot of advanced technology. They also have a commerce - money is still used, but bartering credits are considered the new commerce even here.)
Yellows (Second Largest City Territory)
Home of the ISH - Information Super Highway, the spy network for relaying information about the Pits and other Territories actions within the Trade. A secret group aiming to abolish the Trades and the Dog Territories without the Military's aid.
