OOC:
Cities aren't just places. They're people too. Only instead of cells and organs, they're composed of buildings and people. And just like people, they have a lot of problems.
This roleplay isn't meant to be conventional. There's no one questline or one unifying theme holding together all of the interactions between its players. It's almost completely freeform, except that all of the posts have to be set in the city at the prescribed time. And of course, no god-modding, and being total trolls to everyone.
Each post is supposed to add a bit of color to the city, which should remain perpetually unnamed and unplaced (that is, it's in planet earth, but it ain't in any specific country), until the city becomes alive, becomes maybe even truer than the people behind the posts. And each post, and the stories they add to, are supposed to highlight the different problems of the city. Problems that, if they were the problems of a person, would make a psychiatrist's career.
Hence the title, "The Psychosis of a City". Good luck, everyone.
Rules:
You must post stuff set only within the prescribed setting (unless they're flashbacks, or background-setting stuff). The setting is a city found in the planet earth of our universe in the year 2013 with roughly the same tech level, cultural level, land area, climate, official language, and population size as NYC.
You may not place the city anywhere specific. That is, it can't be in any specific state in the world, e.g. the US or the UK.
You may not name the city. This is to make direct mentions of it more interesting.
You may not god-mode, or control other people's characters without their permissions.
You may not completely isolate yourselves. That means that your character could never go completely alone, without even once being affected directly by other players' actions.
You must work with other players. What's first said, goes. So if someone says that this gang is so-and-so, then this gang is so-and-so.
You may not troll other players outside of the rp.
You must enjoy. ;)
I'll post something character-related when someone else has posted here. Again, good luck everyone, and I hope my first venture into hosting an rp doesn't overflow in failures...

Another dawn, another day. The city wakes up.
