The setting is modern day Tokyo; where during the day the city seems more or less peaceful, but during the night it's teeming with violence and crime, practically ruled by the Yakuza. To make matters worse: there are some among the ranks of the immense gang with special abilities who choose to abuse them for personal gain. Standard police forces are either incapable of capturing the gangsters, too afraid of them to make the attempt, or, in rare cases, some officials are bribed or personally threatened to back off. Many people aware of the danger are too fearful to go out after dark to even stop at a convenience store or vending machine, and those working at night fear for their lives and well-being. Despite all of this, there is still a select few people who feel incapable of idly watching the chaos. This is a story of one such person, a young man with special abilities of his own and a mastery of various styles of kung-fu, and the people he comes to meet and the trials he will face in the near future as he struggles to keep his true identity as a vigilante crime fighter secret.​

This is a small, anime-inspired group RP with a direct focus on a few major characters, my own being a direct center point. As described above, it is set in modern Tokyo, but in a somewhat alternate reality where the only major difference is that a select few people are born with special abilities and powers that no one else has. That being said, it's not exactly impossible for some people to be born with similar abilities to another (there are only so many different kinds), but typically, it should not be very common for a person to be born with such a gift. Within the setting of the RP there are many criminals, normal and super powered alike, committing crimes and the like against innocent people; happening more frequently at night but still occasionally during the day. The local police do their best, but due to the influence of the Yakuza as well as the ability of many of the gangsters themselves they have been having a hard time. This has led a very select few people of able body to take up becoming vigilante heroes during their spare time, the first one to appear having been my own character.

Considering the nature of this RP and the basic plans for it, it should have a maximum of 3-5 people; each controlling preferably 1 or 2 main characters, depending on the roles, and any number of side characters which can be created as needed. This is intended to be an RP where us members discuss among ourselves our desired direction or plan for the RP, how we want it to play out as we go along, and preferably keep it from being too random unless the situation calls for exactly that. Essentially I'd like to make sure everyone is on the same page as we go along, but also keep it open to creative ideas for events or situations to put the characters through if anyone should come up with any.

Currently we are recruiting members, as our original cast of members has had some disappearances. Current members are free to make new characters, but adding a couple more members would help to fill in our cast.There are plenty of potential characters that can be made, as well as some required roles that need to be filled. Some examples of characters we need or can have as sides that have yet to be taken include:
  1. The Heroine (our currently submitted one has left)
  2. Coworkers of An Ling
  3. Someone who is both the above and a vigilante hero(to add an interesting twist)
  4. Gang leader or member
  5. Known/named thug with special abilities (I'd like to use one that's already in the CS, but the user responsible for the character is missing)
  6. Anyone else who would be frequently involved with one of the 2 lead characters (accounting for the Heroine that we need replaced)

Just say it. These clues you are giving me aren't really pointing me to it.

Sorry about that ^^; I was trying to insinuate that Hien get in contact with Hino somehow and enlist her help in transporting him across town, then dealing with Enhance-O
 
okay... so since there's only a few days left before the IC gets automatically archived for inactivity and neither MetalNova or Shizuochan have made contact of any kind, coupled with the fact that Crow is only ever interested when there is a solid group, it appears we'll have to make a major overhaul of members and reboot this RP if it is to be continued. Without a main heroine to counter Hien the RP itself can't really progress on task, so we're just going to have to scrap the current IC and search for new members to fill in the holes before making another attempt at this. If this sounds like too much trouble to you guys don't be afraid to tell me; I won't mind dropping this if absolutely no one is devoted to it enough to stick around
 
Agreed.
However, they can't Graveyard an IC or OoC until both threads are dead for a month, last I checked.

So does that mean that even though the IC will hit a month of inactivity soon as long as there's activity in the connected OOC they won't scrap it?

Correct, unless you request it graveyarded.

awesome! Now here lies the question: SHOULD we request it get graveyarded and start a new one when we collect the appropriate members?
 
Hmm... Not sure.

I mean, I would like to make a new character...
 
hey guys, just wanted to apologize for the lack of activity; the last 2 weeks my laptop has been seriously bugging out and I've been trying to fix it, but it's constantly giving me trouble. Currently I'm trying to back up all my files to external drives so I can do a clean install of windows to reset my computer, but the process is taking a lot of time as there have been numerous setbacks. As soon as my laptop is up and running again I'll inform you guys and do my best to start reviving this RP. Thank you for your patience

I was unable to fix my laptop at all, so the other day I brought it in to a nearby PC repair shop and they got back to me telling me that my hard drive was shot... So I payed them a total of $164 and they replaced my hard drive! My laptop is now fixed and so far working properly, so now I just need to find some time after work that I'm not dog tired and get to work... on my schoolwork. I'll be honest guys, I'm 3 weeks behind on my 3D modeling class and need to catch up on it before even thinking about forums, so it'll likely be another week or so before I can make any more progress on Iwaku. I appreciate your patience m(v_v)m
