  • MARCH 2031


    Things.....have gone to shit.

    Like....absolute shit.

    Most of what was once lush forests sprawling with life are now barren ashen wastelands. The sun is too close, burning too hot down onto the scorched surface of the planet. Lakes are dry and yet the seas have somehow risen to new heights, swallowing the once known edges of prominent land masses. Once sprawling cities are barren and crumbling, nature struggling to recuperate from the drastic impact humans have had in their haste to conquer. Mother Nature began to bite back...

    It started in 2020....or so people assume. There really is no known start date really. But that year....there was a sickness that swept the globe. The story goes that it began with bats, someone eating them or something. The details are foggy. Though there are others, that believe something different. That it was a premeditated test of a new strain of viral infection. Years of study and research going into the release that quickly swept the globe just so they could time the speed with which the world would be impacted. Governments did their best to quell it, forcing people indoors and the world turned into a ghost world overnight. From there things only got worse.

    People were tired of quarantining, tired of watching and waiting for this invisible tyrant to dissipate. It began with protests, quickly falling to riots. Governments responded with militant force, sparking anger and violence. Pockets were quickly popping up around the world of violent disobedience. Stores were burns, car windows shattered, SWAT officers attacked and innocent civilians beaten. It was growing out of hand and fast. To save face, the world reopened, if only to calm its people down. That was...perhaps....their biggest mistake.

    With people out and about, the virus mutated, it turned from an airborn flu virus into something.....inhuman.







  • CHARACTER TYPES



    Scavengers (0/4)
    - Much as the name entails, these people tend to wander alone. They scavenge, living off of the land, at least from what little they can find. Some are searching for camaraderie, though most rather go it alone.

    Rogues (0/∞)
    - Small groups of people that have banded together. Similar to scavengers, they wander the surface, though they have purpose. They're looking for a place to rebuild, some wish to find a cure, some simply enjoy the company during their numbered days.

    Townies (0/10)
    - There are those that have been fortunate enough to establish a colony of sorts. High walled, tightly guarded, these makeshift communities have sprung up here and there throughout the US. Some are the vestiges of uninhabited housing, some are what remains of prisons and other secured facilities. Each have their own rules and way of life.







  • PLACES TO KNOW

    Major Cities:
    (NYC, LA, San Fran, Miami, etc)
    All major cities are uninhabitable. Still teaming with the last vestiges of the sick, the virus is still extremely contagious.

    The CDC:
    (located in Atlanta, GA)
    Some believe this is the source of the virus and, perhaps, even an anti-viral. Unfortunately, being located in a major city, is practically impenetrable.

    Towns:
    (Various Locations throughout the US)
    Scattered around the US, factions of people have taken over unfinished housing developments, empty prisons, etc to settle in for the long haul. They vary in their structure from pure communist ideals to dictatorship. Some do trade for a fee, others exchange goods in an equal barter and trade system.







  • DON'T FORGET TO DOUBLE TAP:



    What are they?
    Some call them zombies, walkers, deadites, flesh-eaters....the list goes on.

    What causes it?
    No one is sure, but they do know it's some form of mutated virus.

    How does it spread?
    Any bodily fluid: saliva, blood, semen, feces, urine.

    How long does it incubate?
    Once infected, the virus can incubate for up to 48 hours before symptoms begin to show.

    What are the symptoms?
    24-48 hours: None.
    48 hours - 72hours: coughing, congestion, fever, chills, body aches
    4-5 days: blisters, burst capillaries, loss of motor coordination
    1 week: full infection, loss of humanity, insatiable hunger, bloodlust

The Warden of Eastern State Penitentiary















  • PLOT
    Eastern State Penitentiary is infamous across the country. Built upon the remains of an early 1800’s military fortress, it is as impenetrable from the inside as it is from the outside. The guards might just be even more notorious than the prison itself. It’s said to be a graveyard rather than a prison; claiming more souls than the grim reaper himself…..or so the more superstitious inmates like to believe. One thing is for sure; ____ State Penitentiary drains the hope from the soul of even the most joyful spirit.

    But that doesn’t mean everyone is just wiling to die here.

    A game of cat and mouse, whispered words and crafty minds, can you be the one to change it all? Penetrate the impenetrable?

  • GAMEPLAY & RULES
    Based on some pretty cool stories of great escapes from the highest security prisons, the premise of this roleplay is to see if you’ve got what it takes to break out before getting caught. Character slots are open to both guards and inmates alike; various jobs available to make this as diverse as possible.

    Secrets and lies are encouraged! Did your character simply make his bed and take extra care to tuck the corners tight? Or did he slip something between the sheets to be discovered later? Is it a frame job?

    Secret alliances are encouraged!

    Your characters secrets/lies do not have to be broadcast in the IC. For example: Character A works in the laundry room. He takes all but one bin to wash. Character B comes in for his shift and takes the last bin. Later on you find out Character A slipped B contraband despite not explicitly revealing it IC.

    To keep from Godmodding; you must inform the GM of any actions that are meant to be part of escape plans. This helps keep players from god-modding (accidentally or otherwise), keep track of timelines and help determine whether or not an escape attempt is successful.

    Not all inmates need to, nor should be, a part of the same escape attempt. There can be multiple at different times.

    All secrets can only be learned through the actions/words of PC players. Your character can not learn in-game secrets from npc’s.

    All iwaku rules apply.

    No characters under the age of 20.

    Although this will be listed in redstar for violence, language and character death -- and relationships certainly encouraged; this is NOT a romance rp. Sex is not the focus and will not be allowed IC. Please fade to black and keep overly intimate scenes to a minimum.

    This is set in the 1930’s please keep in mind what that means socially for your characters sexuality and race. The historical aspect of this roleplay does not equate to permission to use slurs. If you use them you will be kicked without warning and characters removed from the roleplay. This is non-negotiable.

    I do ask that you post at least one paragraph (5 sentences) per post. There will be no weekly/biweekly posting requirement. Post when you can. This is meant to be fast-paced and fun.














  • HOW TO JOIN
    Joining is super easy. All you have to do is show interest here and post a completed character sheet in the Character Index Thread linked HERE.

    Once your sheet is submitted, my co-gm and I will review it. If you receive a 'Nice Execution' react you're all set to jump into the roleplay. If any adjustments are requested, please complete them ASAP so we can accept you in and you can get to posting! :D

Welcome to Arcadia

a bustling metropolis built on what remains of Los Angeles. The top of the city is pristine, all fresh metal and clean lines. That high in the sky, bridges take the place of roads, air trams are the main source of transport and many have long forgotten what earth truly looks like. Much closer to the heavens than the ground, so much so that it feels as if, should one would reach out with enough heart, they can pluck the stars from the sky. The sun shines down during the day, glistening against the chrome steps and glass walls.

There's more to this city than just clean glass and pretty lines....

There is a dark underbelly to the glitz and glamour that shines from Arcadian skyscrapers. Buildings stacked vertically in obscenely high towers, houses sit on top of shops that sit on top of stores that sit on top of offices. Things are slotted where they can fit -- continuously growing in number -- haphazard in the way they place them. The closer to the ground one is, the more ramshackle and oblong the buildings become.

You see, Arcadia holds as many layers as it does buildings. As with most things, there is more than what appears on the surface. With each body that mills about the never ending crowds, from the highest penthouse to the lowest hovel tucked into the many dark corners of the Coms, each person has a story to tell. Each person has a heart, a dream, a pain, a path. They all weave in and out, passing by like a whisper on the wind, unaware of the life that flits by so easily at their side. Ignorant of the world around them, each soul is trapped in the drum of their day to day life, left drifting beside one another without every truly intersecting.

But that's all about to change.


A Look Beneath The Surface
From top to bottom, the differences in class and wealth is visible. The highest points of the city; shiny, metallic, telling of the wealth the affluent households hoard to themselves. Doused in modern technology, the latest in biomechanic advancements, boasting the brightest, the most educated.

The further down you go, the more things begin to change.

Beautiful architecture grows lazy as you descended. The glowing glass and shining chrome grow dim and dull until, eventually, it fades into exposed brick and scuttling roaches. On the ground things are set in a completely different world; a world unwanted and unseen, swept beneath the rug and long forgotten. Here crime runs rampant, an afterthought to most as they go through their day's, nonethewiser to the debauchery below. It's dark down here, lit by the glowing neon lights; a pseudo-sunlight down in the Coms.

It's okay though, because for some, the darkness is an escape. It's a step away from the fabricated world above. Down here, anyone can shed their skin and dawn a new mask, a new name, a new life. One's man trash is another man's treasure after all.

People are going missing. Humans from the Terran district. No one is paying attention to it, no one really cares. They're humans after all. No one's looked into it....until now. It's not easy, investigating something no one thinks twice about, but there are secrets here.

Secrets about to be revealed.

Secrets people will do anything to hide.

Secrets that others will do anything to expose.

...

Secrets that will change everything





THE ZION DISTRICT

The Zion district, a sparkling city amongst the clouds. A picturesque scene of shining metal and glimmering glass, the upper echelon is everything that one could dream of. On top of everything, their large penthouses overlook the entirety of Arcadia and out onto the great expanse beyond the city limits. Housing the top 1% of the 1%, owners of business monopolies, the mayor of Arcadia and A-list celebrities fill the elevated streets of the city in the clouds. On overcast days, even the tallest of buildings from the lower district's are obscured. The lower caste's have taken to calling those from Zion, 'Privys' -- far from an endearing nickname.

Not many other cities in what was once known as America, have reached the affluence of those in Arcadian Zionites. It's a privilege few have and many covet. Most dream to be one of them, to have everything they could have ever wish for at the tips of their fingers. With access to all of the latest fashion and technology, there isn't much that Privys really have to want for. Houses are cleaned by mechanical maids and food is delivered quite literally on a silver platter. Their homes are lavish and large, the bridges and interconnected roadways that float high above the ground between them are pristine. It's almost like stepping into a different world. Everything is absolutely immaculate.

For many, it's a lifelong goal to climb into the clouds. The money is old, generations of developed wealth on the backs of others. Owners of Fortune 500's, Department heads and Government officials make up the people of the Zion District . Everyone knows everyone and secrets are often kept by a stack of cash -- and will be happily given for just the same price. Despite its pristine appearance and jaw dropping architecture.....all that glitters isn't gold....



THE MEZZANINE DISTRICT


Mezzos, as they like to call themselves, are -- as the name implies -- in the middle. They aren't the richest, but they certainly aren't the poorest. They range from B-list celebrities, small business owners and social media stars to the worker bees, the business women, the boys hunched over desks in the call centers - perhaps even a secretary, if they could find a position that wasn't already automated by some AI.

There are far more Mezzos than there are Privys, as is the way of things. How else can the 1% keep their fortunes if everyone has a slice? Most Mezzos are content with their placement in life, though many strive to reach the top, to climb higher on the social ladder in order to grab a taste of that high life -- even if only for a second. More often than not, however, they underestimate just how slippery a slope ascension is, and end up falling far more often than they fly.

Morning time is the busiest for Mezzos, when you see their world truly come to life. As everyone rushes to their jobs, to a friend's house, or just to say hello to the friendly shopkeeper, their walkways fill with buzzing sounds of commute and the trams hum with their departures and arrivals. A mix of old and new, stairs ascended, criss crossing among platforms to create streets that are traveled daily. At night, it is quiet, with only the occasional hum of a stereo able to be heard through someone's open window. Most often described as quaint, the Mezzos are almost in a world all their own. They don't go without, but there is always a yearning for more.


TERRAN DISTRICT


Much different than those that float among the clouds; the Terran District is just as it's name alludes -- the earth. Terran, or what the locals call the Coms, is what's left of old Los Angeles. It's only part of Arcadia actually touching Earth's surface, sprawling the base of the city and even further outwards.

Terran is loud, bustling and dangerous. Bathed in the glow of neon lights, there is never a second in the day that light dies not shine, though the sun is hardly seen. The rushing footsteps, the honking of horns and the shouting of passerby create the symphony of life down here. Trapped in the ways of old, if you are born in the Coms there's no way out. Commies live in the old homes, the original stacks -- long forgotten by the Privy's that sat among the clouds in their cushy little homes with their automated maids and silver screens. In the Coms it’s real. Life is a gritty, rough and unforgiving thing. That isn’t to say it’s all hell. The locals look out for one another, the sense of community is strong among them. It takes a village to raise a child and a village the Coms has become.

Loyalty lay with the neighborhood, certain lines one just doesn’t cross. They know which streets to stop at, which corners to turn away from. These are the unspoken rules here. They don’t go up and the ones at the top don’t come down. They’re abandoned, left to their own devices; a completely different world to the one circulating above them. Sometimes it’s a wonder they’re even in the same city, let alone only a few stories above them. Resentment is brewing on the ground as ignorance swirls at the top.

Drugs and violence reign supreme here. The police are rarely called, most issues settled by trading blows or with the bang of gun. Almost completely self governed, it is best to associate yourself with a group and keep to them and them alone. The only one's 'safe' from it all are the elderly, the people there from the beginning who have earned their right to a peaceful existence. They have long since paid their dues.



RELIGION


Arcadia itself is an atheist, secular state. Religion does not exist to the vast majority and is not practiced in the average household. Focus is on the personal and practical. Logic holds more value than faith does and anything outside of proven medical practices of the reigning government are looked down upon. Everyone is a cog in the machine, expected to function perfectly in order to keep the whole of Arcadia running at its best. Profits are the way to succeed, money is the universal language.

That does not mean no one has delved into religious practices. If done so, it's a quiet, personal practice not shared to many. More easily accessed through the Terran District, one can find several occult shops tucked away in back corners and hidden alleys. The most widely practiced faith is Spiritualism -- harnessing the earth's energy to will change amongst one’s self. There is a reverence for the earth, for life and, in a city where there’s no way up, there is some solace in knowing that doesn’t mean there’s no way out.


Top Religions in Arcadia:

Vodun:
is Haitan-American folk magic. It consists mainly of African folkloric practices and beliefs with a significant blend of American Indian botanical knowledge and European folklore. Must be within a bloodline.

Hoodoo:
African herbalism, divination and spellwork; also known as rootwork, passed down the lineages of enslaved Africans in the Americas.

Ancestral Magic:
Magic passed down through bloodline/familial ties. ie. Santeria, Brujeria, various American Indigenous practices, various African traditions, and many many more.

Paganism:
Any polytheistic religion. There are various pagan practitioners in Arcadia ranging from ancient Celtic beliefs, to Hellenism, to Kemetic worship.



COURTHSIP INITIATIVE


Overseen by the Department of Families, the Courtship Initiative has been a long standing practice within Arcadia. Souls "destined" to be together, every December, all children born within city limits are required to go to a Marking Ceremony. This ceremony marks each up and coming Arcadian child with a unique soul marker on the back of their right ankle. This marker binds them to their destined partner -- a partner each Arcadian is expected to seek out and find at the age of eighteen. Of course the Department of Families is more than willing to assist in this endeavor, offering a myriad of services to seek out that one "destined soul".

THE SPINSTERS[/COLOR]


There are those that, unfortunately, slip through the cracks of a bustling city like Arcadia. From vagrants, to criminals to the innocent, the Spinsters come from all walks of life. They are the people that Arcadia is more than happy to forget about. Not everyone finds their soulmate, not everyone wants to. The Spinsters live on the outskirts of the Terran District, on the outskirts of the coms. In the streets of old LA, the buildings are far from what they used to be. Crumbling metal and rusting concrete, mother earth has already begun to take back what was once hers.

Still, there are those that thrive here. Finding home where they had nothing before, the Spinsters live in close-knit communities spread out through the coms. Uncles, aunts, teachers, nurses; communities thrive in these crumbling buildings. Mostly self-sufficient, trade and barter between each of the Spinster colonies keeps them growing. They are a sanctuary to those that have nowhere else to go, to those that Arcadia would rather turn their backs upon than to show even the smallest of graces.



THE ARTS


The arts are a frivolous practice in most people's eyes. Media is heavily monitored as to keep the ideals that the government wishes alive. Most 'celebrities' pay their way into their position and the movies, television shows and music that comes from them are heavily edited and overseen by a council before publishing. The arts are not entirely pushed out of common practice, however, having a passion for such things is not common, nor cultivated. The fine arts have all nearly died out, lest you can find a rogue painter somewhere in the fray of Terran. Reading and writing are practically obsolete. No new books have been published in years and having a love of words on paper will have you stared at quite openly. Everything is digitized and various authors have long since faded from human memory.


THE REVOLT OF DEMONIO

For centuries, they've had to hide in the shadows, lurking in the dark. It was safer that way, the elders determined to uphold the ways of old. It's not that they were weaker, or more vulnerable than the humans that roamed the earth. It was the opposite in fact. It was almost too easy to take over. The element of surprise was to be savored. The less the humans new, the better, the easier it was to feed. But as time passed, those born into darkness wanted a taste of the light. They wanted a taste and they were intent on taking it.

This led to the Demon Revolt -- oh so kindly titled by their human adversaries. Creatures of all walks of life were tired of hiding. They wanted to exist as they were, no fear of repercussions -- from the outside world or otherwise. They were slow to out themselves at first, but one by one the movement picked up force. With change came fear and with fear came anger. The ruling government called for a mobilization of humans, to take up arms and 'beat back these demons'. The violence was swift to wash over the world; protests in America inspiring uprisings in other countries.

It's been nearly two centuries since then. Cities were rebuilt and systems reformed and humans were no longer at the top. It's time for the monsters to walk in the light. From this Arcadia was born, a major city post-war that now boasts some of the most affluent in the world. Similar cities like this exist across the world now, over taking their predecessors.

There's a new hierarchy now, one where the humans sit (in their rightful place) at the bottom.





HOW TO JOIN:
If you are interested in this rp just comment here. I am looking for about 8-10 players and I will be checking out writing styles to make sure everyone gels together nicely. Once accepted, you will be given the discord link where the ooc discussion will be held and all other links for the character index and ic thread will be shared.

POSTING LENGTH AND SPEED:
I ask for at least one paragraph every other week per interaction. I.E. Player A posts interacting with player B. Player B has 2 weeks from that interaction to post. If at any time you're falling behind, its okay, just communicate that and we can either wait for you or skip your turn -- all to be discussed what works best for the players if this ever occurs.

We all have lies, its no pressure guys <3


WHO CAN I PLAY:
You can play anyone from a Zionite to a Spinster. Just keep in mind the main plot of this will be in Terran, specifically in the Coms. There will be heavy focus on the inhabitants of Terran, secrets hidden by the government and investigating missing citizens that the government overlooks.

FACECLAIMS:

Real face claims only please. All face claims must match the culture of the species. For example, Djinn are from Arabic culture/mythos. Therefore, the faceclaim should, at least, appear part Arab.

MATURE CONTENT:

All mature content should be hidden under a spoiler tab IC. It can be a back and forth IC under spoilers with a NSFW warning or played privately if you so choose. The choice is yours between you and your partner(s) and whether or not you want others to be able to read it.

Due to the mature of this rp, no characters under the age of 20 will be accepted as main characters. They can be npc's and recurring characters to round out your char's life/interactions, but no underage main chars, please and thank you.


RAPE/NONCON/DUBCON IS NOT PERMITTED IN THIS RP

Keep your rape fantasies to yourself. I do not care about your opinion on this. If I see it you will be removed without warning.

NO GODMODDING:

This really shouldn't need an explanation but I digress. Do NOT under any circumstance, move, control, or otherwise manipulate another players character without their consent. It's not cool.


PLOT CANDIES/IDEAS:

If you have an idea that you'd like to contribute to steer the rp as a whole PLEASE share. I love plotting and I'm sure all of you do too, but if it's something that's going to affect the group as a whole I do ask to be made aware. Smaller plot candies b/t your individual characters should be discussed amongst those involved and don't need to involve me at all. Go wild with that shit.

DIVERSITY:

This roleplay encompasses an entire city, one known to be extremely diverse. LA has a lot of different cultures and people so, when creating characters please keep this in mind. I always encourage, and strongly suggest, that all players explore racial, gender, sexual and romantic diversity amongst their characters.

IF you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

It was after her nineteenth birthday that she met the duo, Tulio and Miguel. Her attraction to Tulio was, at first, overplayed -- attempting to get what she needed out of the men and move on. Surprisingly, to even herself, Chel began to fall for both men. The more time she spent with both of them, Chel realized that their world -- their adventures -- was something she desperately wanted to be a part of.

    BRIEF BACKGROUND:
    Ever since Yasmeen figured out Aladdin isn't some prince from a far off land, and is in fact, just a poor homeless kid in her country, their relationship was actually good. The Sultan even changed the laws so they could be together -- talk about an ego boost. Sadly, Aladdin's old life couldn't let go quite as quickly as his new life settled in. He did his best to keep it under wraps and tie up loose ends. Unfortunately for Aladdin, he isn't as hard to read as he originally thought.

    He moved to Glasswick not too long ago, hoping that it would separate him from the life he used to lead. He's been working on gaining Yasmeen's trust back ever since.​

    Austism Spectrum Disorder is a range of neuro-developmental disorders predominantly characterized by impaired social functioning and communication disturbances. Symptoms can include intense focus on one item, unresponsiveness, lack of understanding social cues (like tone of voice or body language), repetitive movements, or self-abusive behavior like head-banging. Not everyone diagnosed with this disorder shows the same symptoms, nor the same severity of symptoms.

    BRIEF BACKGROUND:
    Rumpelstiltskin was once a small time healer in his village. His mother was a healer and her mother before her. At the age of
    15, Rumpel met Soo-Hyun, a farmer's daughter with a sweet disposition. Their affair began as most do -- innocent glances and shy smiles. Soon they were sneaking off to late night picnics and midday rendezvous in the stables. It was the hidden stable visits that started it all. Rumpel, in his young naivety, would change straw into gold. Soo-Hyun would claim it as her own -- the reason she would hole herself up in the stables at odd times of day.

    Of course, this wouldn't just stay within the small village. The king heard of Soo-Hyun's otherworldly ability and, in the swiftness of the night, took her. For days she was holed up in a tower, forced to turn straw into gold. Rumpel, loving as he was, would visit her at night and change the straw to gold. Each night she would promise that they would be together once she was free. Little did he know, Soo-Hyun had promised herself to the King.

    That was his first lesson in betrayal.

    As penance, Rumpel -- in disguise, got the King to sign away his first born son in exchange for riches. A year later, Rumpel came. Soo-Hyun and the King both attempted to sway him with money and promises. None of which he wanted. Since then, Rumpel has traveled the world, tricking the people of the world to sign away their most beloved things for arbitrary materialism. As of last month, Rumpel has become a resident of Glasswick.​

    EXTRAS:
    - Has a beautiful 2 year old son, Lee-Hyun
    - Jae-Min hasn't told anyone in Glasswick his real name
    - The only way out of a contract is to discover his real name and say it backwards 3 times at midnight before your contract is up.
    - Protection sigil tattooed to his left peck over the heart
