  • Underneath the cover of the night, a group is gathered around a small camp fire. Glass is scattered around them, like their broken homes, heart and dreams.

    Smoke is disappearing up into the air, taking away any hopes of peace, safety and life.

    Bodies are littering the ground around them, white poppies growing from their corpses.

    Women. Children. Men.

    None are spared.

    No mercy is given.

    In this place where God has forsaken them, where no one else will help. . .

    They'll have to do it themselves.

    Over the fire their hands unite, covered in blood, bruises and dirt.

    Together they swore to do what no one else on this land had done.


    "We, risking everything that we have, solemnly swear that we will abide by everything said in this oath.

    First, filling up our empty hearts.

    Second, finding the right path and going on that path.

    Third, never leave anyone behind.

    We become as one, protecting the Tear Clan,"

  • The year is 2017.


    Once more the world has fallen into conflict. The "leaders" of the world have failed their people, and now they're sacrificing them like pawns in a game of chess. As if their lives are only resources that is used as payment for a potential future victory. A victory that earn more power, more conflict, more death.


    Remnants of life are hiding among the ruins left after the bombings that seemed endless at some point. Children's laughter that once filled the street has been replaced with their tears or corpses, mothers screaming for names that will never return. Fathers that disappear to lose their lives in a battle that shouldn't even be theirs, only to die surrounded by men that will not even know their names nor what they sacrificed for the home they deserved.


    Necessities like food and water are something few have and many fight over, as if there wasn't enough of that in the world already. Injured and sick are as good as dead, only a few hospitals are left to help them, but the necessary supplies barely exist.


    One would think that it would take more than fourteen days to destroy a whole nation, but those days were plenty of time to ruin what little had remained after the many attacks.


    First there were the public executions of all that had or were under suspicion of resisting the new reign. They were either hung or shot, some were publicly "interrogated" until they admitted to a "crime" they hadn't committed.


    Second were the loss of supplies. The nation needed to feed their own soldiers, their own people, so they took what they could from what they destroyed. What was left for those who lived there did not matter, they were none of their concerns.


    Third the people began fighting each other. What had been left was sacred, human acting like animals in order to get it. The act to "kill" was no longer foreign, it was daily practice that was needed in order to survive. Supplies are dropped every now and then, meant for the enemy, but survivors claw what they can from the crates.


    It is strange to think that now they are living in more "peaceful" times. Maybe because there's nothing more to steal, to kill or destroy.


    However in this time of need, where all hopes and dreams have been shattered and thrown into the void. One last attempt is made in order to take back what is theirs, because now they truly have nothing more to lose, but their lives.

  • - Basic Iwaku rules apply!

    - I'm pretty sure none of us are dicks/bitches, but let me remind you guys to treat each other nicely~ <3 If not, I'll boot your ass right out of this RP, no warning :x

    - Decisions throughout the RP will be made as a group. You do have a Leader in the group, but they have other responsibilities, group decisions are group decisions and therefore you should definitely be active in the OOC to get to vote where to go/what to do :D!

    - Please only use real face claims ^^!

    - It'll be nice if you'd be able to reply possibly once a week, maybe once every two weeks. . . just to keep it going ^^!

    - Do not kill off or injury another person's character without asking for permission!

    - During fight scene with someone else's character, write one big collaboration post, instead of going back and forth ^^! Do it in the PM, put it all together and then post! :D

    - This story will shape around the choices you guys make. That means. . . Whatever happens is in your hands :X

    - Your character might not like each other, but you will get along >: O! I'll put you both in time out and have you talk over it if I need to! >:T xD

    - Personal supplies can be either kept for oneself or shared, if your character finds something I'll PM it to them, and then you decide whether or not you want to share, and what you want to share ^^

    - I'll keep the supplies updated all the time new supplies are added! It may not be too much right now. . . But it'll grow ^^

    - Try to write a minimum of 2 paragraphs (6-8 lines, without dialogue) just to keep the RP going ^^ It's really hard to work with one liners/short replies (in my opinion) so don't be scared and be as detailed as possible, if you're stuck we're here to help! :D <3

    Why are you _____? (You're completely allowed to lie here xD This may have something to do with your secret, and it may not. You just need to explain where you got your exceptional skill within a certain area, the explanation that your character gave the rest of the group. The Leader was chosen between the group, so the Leader will not have to explain it ^^ They were the most reliable and responsible, most suited to be the Leader among the Tear Clan ^^)

    Appearance

    Distinguishing features

    (Like scars, tattoos, birthmarks. . .and so on ^^)

  • Throughout the RP there will be choices for the group/individual to take depending on the situations.

    It will look like this:


    "Situation A"

    → Option A

    → Option B


    Sometimes you will be given more than two options, and something you will be met by what looks like this:

    → . . .


    When you meet that, you are free to take whatever option you wish to take and can ignore the upper two. A and B will then be more like suggestions of what you can do, rather than options.


    Sometimes the entire group will meet a situation, other times it will only be half of the group and sometimes even just one person.


    I'll tag who the option is for, so don't you worry ^^


    Sometimes I will tag that the option is for "everyone", but it can be an individual option as well. For example:

    "You hear screaming coming from west"

    → Run to check it out

    → Ignore it


    If 3 runs for the scream and 3 doesn't, then that is completely fine ^^ Don't worry though, I'll state when it's not a group decision, but I'm sure that it will be somewhat obvious in those kinds of situations, but I'll write it anyway >: O!


    The post after making a decision, you sort of skip a little bit of time. Your characters will have discussed it in the RP, before coming to a group decision (again, unless it is individual, impulsive decision). Move naturally into it ^^! <3


    I simply wanted to tell you a little bit about how the choices you guys make will look ^^! :D


    Sometimes my posts won't meet the "requirements" of the posting length I posted in the rules. . . I'm the only exception to this, as I will narrator you guys through, and sometimes there's just not a lot of me to give you ^^;


    You will also encounter "traders" in this world, being able to trade what supplies you have for other supplies. This is also a group decision unless someone is trading alone. You will also be given the option to either steal or kill the trader for everything for free, but know that no choice comes without a consequence >: 3

  • Obviously I will post the very first post before you guys get to post, this is for your own sake xD I'll explain a little bit more about the state of the nation, give more detailed descriptions and give you guys a "mission" straight off the bat, but don't worry. . . "Side quests" can and might happen depending on your character's missions.


    At the beginning your character will be in their "home". If they live in an abandon building, if they have any sort of family left. . . you decide all of that, but I decide that they will be going to the the "meet up" place.


    The current Clan HQ is an abandon house. It is not big enough to house everyone, and not safe enough either. It has one floor, no water nor electricity and one bedroom. There's one bed and a couch available in the house, anyone else that wishes to stay in the house must find other sleeping arrangements.


    For the bed it will be first come first serve, for the couch the second person who wishes to live in the house will get it, and if more are interested in living in the house then I will tell them their character would have to sleep on the floor ^^


    In your first post, I want your character to go to the house. You will all have a meeting, discussing what your characters' first mission will be! :D Which will be at the bottom of the first post ^^

No, I'm being a jerk and forcing you guys to pick one or the other >: D

Because I like being a jerk at the beginning :X I did think about allowing the option to split up, but I will allow it later in the RP, for now I want you guys all huddled up together :D <3



You guys are so quick xD <3
Well, we have free time xD

Yeah I think we should stick together for now... lol. Get chars ideas of one another since right now Baby only knows Vinnie, Chencho (which @Pray4me when he makes Baby annoyed, I feel like Baby will start to call him Chicken XD, even though I know it isn't pronounced nearly the same but that's just Baby for you lol. Makes fun of ppl, his name is Baby so he thinks no one can make fun of him with that being his birth name lol). And Selene.

@MaryGold we are just excited for your rp lol. And free time like she said lol.

Though trust me, I will give you the option of when you guys can split up, and then it's your job to split up the group too! >: D

I'm being good and not forcing you all together, but this one is no-no on splitting up, I'm sooooorry~ <3

No it's perfect, you read my post^ XD need to stick together for now.

Yeah you see. . . I wasn't the brightest when I decided a 6 group (even number) so . . . If it does come to a tiebreaker, I'm literally just randomly picking one for you :X (flipping a coin) XD <3
 
Boooooo~

Call me greedy if I want both choices~ But alright! Just repeating my choice is the motel. Give him any nickname you like. Chicken, Asshole, anything XD As long as no one figures out his real name Chencho doesn't really care what he's called.

He'll just think the nickname came from the heart~

You'll be allowed to split up later I promise Q~Q <3

But sometimes I am just going to be the inner jerk I sometimes need to be, and force you guys to pick >: 3

I also put up your vote as the motel! :D <3

2v2 guys!

@Leucothea and @MST3K 4ever you guys are left to vote! :D
 
Motel. Better for us, safer.

@MST3K 4ever @Leucothea @Jai @MaryGold @Pray4me @Luxii

THIS MEANS THE CLAN IS GOING TO THE MOTEL WITH 4-2 VOTES! :D <3

For your intros, you guys can start off your post with getting to the house (if you're already there, you're free to do whatever :P)
And then end it with after the meeting! Like when people are getting ready to leave and such! :D

Whatever happens in between is what you want to do! :D <3


ALSO! Second announcement! XD

This does not affect how you guys will play out the RP, but I decided to tell you guys this mechanic just so you know. It will be completely controlled by me, but this gives a random aspect of the RP, does not force me to make any really jerky decisions and does not involve something complicated like stats :X

So every time it comes to combat, I will punch the number 1-100 in a random number generator and make it pick a number in between.

Depending on what the number is (the higher it is) the better outcome for the Clan during combat, sneaking past someone or scavenging the area ^^!

Again, this will be my responsibility and I won't force stats upon your characters ^^ But I wanted to tell you guys this before you kill me for doing something really really mean, and if that happens more often than not xD But this gives a good random aspect to the RP I was unsure of how to bring into it in the first place! :D

So basically what I will do when combat comes is: (this is a super simplified version of what I'll write, I promise xD)

"Soldiers came up from around the corner and began shooting"

Let's say we get 54 (which is a pretty good outcome) on the random number generator.

"Oliver gets shot in the shoulder"

So to make it even more simple:
I write the beginning of the combat and then "fade to black" and then I will tell you guys the outcome of the fights.

You guys are the ones writing out the fight scene, but this way we won't need to split it up in 100+, instead in one big one :D <3

The random number generator will also be used for stuff like trying to sneak past bandits/soldiers without getting caught, scavenging areas for rare items (don't worry again, I got this all covered xD) and for who gets injured! I still got the numbers I used for who got what role in the RP! :D >:D

Based on your roles I'll give you guys some advantages on the random number generator and stuff, but again this is something I'll keep track of, so don't worry your little heads about it <3 I really just wanted to explain the mechanic here, so I know you guys are okay with it or not ^^!

Does this sound okay? I'm trying my best to explain it and not make it too complicated, I really don't feel like I'm a good person for explaining things xD
 
Working on Baby's intro but there is a snow storm happening. If my internet goes out... you know why.
 
@CrystalTears do you want posts to end with people leaving? Or... because might be weird if every intro ended with everyone leaving, when not knowing what could happen in-between lol. Working on getting Baby's intro done now, just wanna know before I finish it.

@CrystalTears oh nevermind... realized we voted in here so Baby will just react to it and protest but then eventually go with the flow and head to the motel, or outside of the house.

I'm glad you figured it out, because my parent's cat decided my lap was the best thing in the world to plop her fat butt on, so I was stuck without my laptop and cellphone for 4 hours xD
I'll post either Sunday or Monday with Vince.
And yaaaay~! :D
 
I am really blessed as a GM for getting such a good group T^T *touched*

What did I do to deserve you guys? <3
 
@Pray4me Oh Chicken is already picking on Baby? XD
