ooc Undercity: A Tale of Heroes

[DarkHaert 277]

RP: https://mlpforums.com/topic/149526-undercity/

 

Undercity, a project set up by the "old ones" all we know, is that they had no magic, and that the place they left... is an underground city torn by crime and "war". Forever night, light is a precious thing, and it only exists within the Inner City. The Military Police Agency (MPA) is fighting a war to quell all the gangs in the outer ring of the city. It is nearly death out there. In the inner city, the lower upper class exist, and live in fear that the gangs of the outer city will one day rise up and kill them all.

 

And the innermost city? Nobody knows what's there except that the most rich people in Undercity live there. But the MPA needs to protect those within the Inner City, and to do so means new recruits. You. Will you save the people of the Inner City, or rise up with the lower class? Your choice. You're the hero.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

The cast is Anthro Animals, this extends to the all the ponies from MLP. If you want to be human, you can. Alicorns are not allowed. Standard Rules apply.

 

This is a dystopian universe, and loosely based on Canterlot. The Princesses are not present in this city. You begin as a recruit of the Military Police Agency, why is up to you. What happens later... You'll have to see.

@@DarkHaert,

 

Name: McNair

 

Class: McNair is a tank, through and through. He hits hard, and he can take a lot of punishment too. He's not very agile though.

Age: 34

 

Race: McNair is human.

 

Weapon of choice: McNair has a specialized energy rifle with two firing modes. The first acts as a machine gun, quickly spraying lots of fire. The second is a railgun, which fires slow, very high damage shots. McNair also tends to carry a machete.

 

Background: McNair grew up in the poor parts of the city. When he was young, he was swept up into the crime of the slums, and lived that way for a long time. After getting shot and nearly dying, McNair renounced his life of crime. In an attempt to go straight, he joined the MPA.

 

Personality: McNair is a go getter. He believes in carving his own destiny, and hates stagnation. McNair always has to be doing something, or else he goes crazy. McNair can also be a bit of an oaf, but he can handle himself in serious situations. If need be, he'll sacrifice himself for his beliefs, and always goes down fighting.

- Name: Damien

- Rogue-like. Night vision. Hunting instincts.

- Age: 27

- Race: Fox. Red fox.

- Weapon of Choice: A small revolver-gunblade. Altogether it's slightly longer than dagger. Proficient with light weapons ( knives, throwables. Bows., etc ). Some come with varying enchantments.

- Background: Damien was McNair's 'partner in crime'. He's a con artist, thief and a part time mercenary among other lesser things. He grew up in a town in the outer near the border between the inner and outer city. While poor, due to his location, he often catches glimpses of the luxuries those living in the inner city enjoyed. He began to despise those who lived in the inner city: how they kept their rockers to themselves while ignoring the slums and suffering of those living in the outer city. At first starting out his life of crime in the outer city, stealing things to get by, he occasionally ventured into the inner city, obtaining more expensive valuables.

- Personality: A personality fitting of a fox, he's a sly guy with a wide sense of humour. He's a realist, seeing the world as what it is, but does not believe that he has the power to change it and makes no effort to. He's a smooth guy when it comes to talking, a silver tongue weaseling him out of most situations. Also a smartass. However, he's rather pessimistic, and Is also rather narcissistic.

- Other: usually moves around with a brownish green cloak.

In case there's any concern about it, it's cool that has a character whose backstory is related to mine.

Sadly, I have to decline you're application.

[Guest]

How many more people are we going to wait for? I have observed that story driven RPs run best with 2-4 RPers, unless it gets a specific set of members

[DarkHaert 277]

I shall be launching the RP soon.

I'll be watching~

@@DarkHaert, 

 

Now that i think of it, would it be possible for Damien to NOT be a member of the police, but instead a criminal hunted down by the police? He will attempt to influence members of the police to take the side of the lower class when confronted

[DarkHaert 277]

This is the character I will be using for the RP:

 

- Name: Krittius Von Istari

- "Class": Cleric, Soldier trained in martial arts and weaponry.

- Age: 32

- Race: Appears as a Burmese Cat, except more silver than brown

- Weapon of Choice: Shotgun, Claw-Blades, Swords

- Background: As a young child, Krittius Von Istari was raised by the Monks of the Cleric sect, given that they are militant, Krittius seems laid back. A jack of all trades by nature, the only things Krittius has mastered is a form of "martial arts" known a Gun Kata, and he was trained as a diplomat for a short while to negotiate the Monastery's (where he was raised) charter, which then was used as the MPA's base of operations.

- Personality: Seemingly laid back, Krittius can easily see the best of people, however he has a darker attitude towards that which he considers corrupt, and while destroy whatever that is without hesitation. Krittius also is a killer by trade, so he is more used to bloodshed then most.

- Other: Krittius wears a black short-sleeve t-shirt, tan cargo pants, and has a mechanical right hand. He wears sunglasses that have strange LEDs on them, and has two small scabbards on his back.

He'll be a thief that has infiltrated the police force

[Colenso Rivers 85]

Name- Sevelance Ahkliaka A.K.A. Severe.

Race- Salvencier

Sex- Male

Racial description- A Salvencier is a chimeric predatory race from the deep south that relies on its many natural defenses than weapons, however they have been known to be proficient if trained in polearms and can use forearm mounted guns if a tad innacurately. They are a naga like race, however while their torsos are structured like that of mankind's, that's the only similarity. They are covered in not scales, but armored plating similar to that found on the heads of placyderms. Their arms are long and thin, like their almost grossly lengthy and slim claws. They possess eight spider leg like appendages that they keep folded up against their backs and can excrete a silver thread of great value for its fine, flexible and serrated nature that allows it to slice through softer materials effortlessly. It can also use these appendages to weave, climb, investigate, and even impale opposition. The end of their tailed bottom half fade to black, which is an ice cold portion that is made of a solid, noN living crystal material. Their armored heads resemble that of the armor of dragons. They horns, a sharp edged mouth plate also remeniscent of placyderms, retractable blade like fangs, six eyes, and even a mane, but their overall effect, body and facial structure suggest more snake influences than anything else, their mercury like poison that they can secrete from the edge of their claws attests to a massive stroke of difference between them and any similar ancestors. All in all, averages put them at about 20-25 feet long, mostly due to their bottom half. They are gold mines on the black market, and therefore are extremely hostile to any foreign creature.

Individual appearance- Sevelance is about twenty four feet long, and was born a Dread weaver. His bodily color varies but has a primarily gunmetal grey plating with black edges and hide. His serpent eyes are a deep blood red and tribal carvings on his head plate are a dark violet. His mane is also black, with silver striations.

Skills and equipment- Stealth, unarmed combat, fear induction, polearms, assassination, great bows. Dual edge scythes (sythe like long swords) and a great bow. Waiting on approval for arm mounted lmgs.

History- Born as a Dreadweaver, or a darkly colored Salvencier, he had to leave his Arctic homeland for the safety of the home tribes and himself. This meant he had to travel to the swamps of the east, with the rest of the Dreadweaver tribes. Since the Dreadweavers not only had to deal with exhausting higher temperatures, but also close proximity to civilization, they are often much more territorial and hostile than their Palefade cousins. The traps in their territories are many and gruesome. They do all in their power to strike fear into the hearts of invaders, even wielding scythes for they know the fear they bring, so much that travelling into their swamps is considered taboo.

However, large gun wielding parties have been known to wipe out entire tribes. Like Severe's. He was taken alive to be an exotic pet, but since his kind are so monstrous, most don't recognize their high levels of intelligence. Within a month of quietly scheming, he pulled of his escape, as well as killing every being at the lucrative mansion. But being as lost as he was, he was quickly captured by another force. This time a law enforcement agency. He'd been caged for years, expressing no desire to escape, but only learn.

Eventually he was able to mutter the words, "I want to help." He felt that if he could stop crime, he could weed out those actively contributing to the black market, therefore stopping the killing of his race.

Has no magical capabilities. He may have the capacity for intelligence, but is often found lacking in his knowledge. He will often rely on others telling him what to do, lest he mess everything up. He is extremely weak to high temperatures and poor air circulation. And guns. Cannot detect any shade of green.

 

I know it's strange. But hey, go hard or go home.

Alrighty, first thing I want to tell you. Wow. That's pretty good, and I think that it could work well with what I have planned for this. However, since the RP is still in the very beginning, you can easily enter it. You are our last application.

You wanna tell me in which method I am released from captivity and taken to the headquarters. Or am I just released on the streets as is and left to find my way there?

It's a little early for judgement don't you think?

Eeyup, just curious if you had any.

 

@@Colenso Rivers,

 

I think that you hearing about headquarters or being taken there could work so everybody gets acquainted, but however you want to do it, it is your character. (Also a couple side notes, the arm mounted weapons are a go, but I would suspect that you having been removed of it by that point. Also, if you need extra cops to be talking about headquarters, you or I can play them for that moment.)

Figured something out that works.

Good, this works well. Krittius gets to hate somebody.

Sorry Watcher. Unfortunately I cant draw well, and there is nothing similar to him on the interweb. Give a naga a snake head, six eyes, super lanky arms, super long fingers, spider legs on his back and cover him with natural sections of plate armor, and that's what you got. Or thats the closest you can get. Sorry again.

....he walks on normal legs right?

No, his bottom half is snake like, if you've ever seen a naga or a lamia, that's what the jist of him is.

So quick question, as I understand it, Severance has language of his own? And if so, What language would it be based on if you could choose?
