Setting You're a 17 year old boy/girl, in modern 2009, who's been kicked out of your house by your cruel stepdad. You had a hobby of street running and now you have to use it to survive here in the cruel, harsh streets. You've got to avoid gangs, or join them. Get beaten up, or beat them. Get caught, or avoid them. You've got to do what it takes to keep on living; fight, steal and run.
Classes and Stats Stats govern how well you can do different things- -Strength shows how well you can lift objects, use weapons and other phsical related activities not covered by any other skills. -Intelligence shows how well you are when it comes to computers and logical choices. -Charisma shows how well you can get out of something by convincing other people. It shows how popular you can get. However, a high Charisma can also mean that you can't blend in with crowds as well. -Acrobatics shows how well you can run, wallrun, climb and other things of that sort. -Stealth is how well you can get around from one place to another without getting seen or heard.
Depending on which class you use, you must use the initial stats given below for your beginning character. Athlete Strength: 5 Intelligence: 2 Charisma: 2 Acrobatics: 4 Stealth: 3
The "Social Status Bar" measures how far you are up the social ladder. It goes like this: Outcast, Tramp, Looked down upon, Teachers pet, smart guy, average, Known, Well known, Popular, Very popular, Socialite
For now three people can join. Parsat has already reserved a space so it is not infact two. Please restrain from all choosing Athlete or something. Try something new like being a Hacker. However, there is no rule against it. First Come First Serve basis
One last thing. I want people who are going to be replying moderately-frequently. I can't handle someone who's just come back from page 1 when we're on page 10. So I'm also putting a three day time limit by in which if you don't reply you'll be kicked unless you give me a proper excuse. For example, you're going to your grandmas house for four days and she doesn't have internet there.
Yeah I've got them being planned. I'll put them up soon. Sorry but I'd also like to wait until one other person comes. I like to Batch Process (sorry-I've revised for like 100 hours for my IT GCSE)
Oops sorry everyone! I also forgot. Below "Class" add "Social Status". If you are an Athlete you are "Known". If you're a socialite, you're "Popular" and if you're a hacker, you're a "Smart Guy".
[b]Steven You shout at your stepdad one last time before you angrily close the door. The old door looks fragile so you give it one last kick. Dueing to your high strength, the door comes off one hinge. You hear the stepdad shout and swear and you run off. You hear one last colourful phrase before you go out of earshot. You hit the high street and are saddened by the sight of happy fathers and sons. You walk around and go in and out of shops. You want to hold onto your $20 for as long as you can. A) Look for a job B) Steal [provisions/mobile phone/money] C) Try to make friends down at the park D) Try some street running E) Go find a geek to pick on
Paw It's the middle of the night and you go downstairs. You pack some food into your bag, and take $20 from your stepdads wallet. He's been a real gi* lately and he was gonna kick you out any day. You also find his closet and take some scissors to it. You make some nice holes in the nicest of places just for him before you leave. You jump out of your bedroom balcony and land heavily on his car. The alarm goes off and you hear angry grumbling coming back from your house! Quick what do you do? A) Go back inside and look as if your sleeping. B) Wait for him, show off a bit, and then run. C) Run! D) Keep smashing up the car and then run.
Note to everyone else No more applications now except for Parsat who reserved a space.
Steven You look around for shops and after being rejected at most shops you go to a sports store. The fat manager there grumbles janitor for 1$ an hour. It's coming to close down time in three hours. How long do you want to work and then what do you want to do afterwards? (1 hour/two hours/three hours and one of the options gave you last time)
Paw You leg it and hear your stepdad shoutnig at you angrily. The last you hear is "I'll call the blo*** cops you dirty little pig!!!"
Sure enough after 20minutes you hear sirens behind you. Whilst this is happening you suddenly feel a strong presence in front of you holding your arms. "Slow down son! Your dad called us to pick you up!" "Get off me! He's a cruel harsh weirdo!!!" The policeman doesn't let go so you bring your leg up and leg it as he loosens his grip. You hear his partner fire two shots at you, one of which shaves your thigh. You keep on running and run into an alley. You rip off your left arm's shirt part and wrap the now bleeding wound. You can't run like that so you have to be wary... A) Head down to the highstreet and look for a doorway to sleep in. B) Sleep where you are. C) Empty a bin, clean it out nicely, eat, put a hazardous waste only on the front of the bin and sleep in it. D) Keep walkng-no tme for sleep and eat at the same time.
Subclasses are as follows. I'll give you the choice to choose which one you want throughout the game. Much thanks to Parsat for them

Sorry Bluydee but you can't join. The last space has been reserved for Parsat.
Paw You limp over to the highstreet, witnessing numerous fights, muggings, and gangs along the way. Finally you get to the high street. You look around for a suitable doorway and go up to the bank. You nestle down there and get what warmth you can before falling into a troubled sleep... You wake up next day refreshed and happy but then you realise what hapened yesterday... You look around and check your inventory to see you've got $5 missing!!! You look everywhere but find a note reading: "Sorry mate-I only took a bit. I haven't eaten for three days. If you want later I can make it up to you-meet me by the docks underneath the bridge thing leading out to the sea." A) Go there and kill him B) Go there, say it's okay, and become friends. C) Go there, mug the money back and tell him to stay away. D) Leave him alone and: 1) Look for work 2) Mug somebody. 3) Look for a gang to join 4) Go terrorize your stepdads house.
Steven After working for three hours, you get out of the shop. The crowds are thinning out, and the people left are either drunk, homeless or trying to find their way home. Do you: A) Mug a normal guy B) Mug a drunk C) Mug another homeless guy. D) Steal from an ATM.
