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.
Paw You slowly come to. You're hazy, fading and thin field of vision is of people in blue doctor like clothes around you, scurrying about frantically. You black out again slowly...
You come to hazily, you see a man, looking very solemn and sad as if he's a failure. You feel extreme numbness in all your limbs and you can't move even youre eyelids. You fade in...and out...you come slowly to..but you're too weak... You fall into a hazy sleep...
You wake up, eyes wide and surprised. You sit up suddenly, but your whole body pains... You seem to be in a ward. Your clothes and possessions are next to your bed. You pick them up, put them on. You see an open window. Your only on the first floor so you hang off the windowsill. You swing a bit and get yourself into a slow downward run and land not too heavily on the floor. Energy: Refreshed. Hunger: Okay. Status: Healing
You notice you have no money on you, they'd taken it off. Refreshed and awake, you decide to... A) Go into the hospital and get any money off them. B) Mug a person coming out for money. C) Look for a place to eat. D) Practice: -Strength -Intelligence -Charisma -Acrobatics -Stealth
Max You go over to the Green Kicksslowly, head down. You then suddenly sprint for it and jump down the side of the building. You feel your feet absorb the pressure of hitting the side of the other building, and you push off to land down on the floor. +1 Strength You keep running and hear gunshots. You blend in with the crowd and you feel you've lost them. Half Rivals of Red Dragons, Metal Knives and Green Kicks. Now out in the streets again, you: A) Beg for money B) Mug someone C) ATM time D) Eat somewhere E) Practice [one of your attributes) F) Go to a social area and make some friends
Paw You head over to the library, where the nerds and geeks of town look at you in surprise. You uneasily sit into a chair and read a book on logical mind processes...
You are on page 150 out of 500. +1 intelligence You could develop your intelligence further but it's getting dark and they're starting to close down. A) Rent the book and 1) Sleep in an alleyway 2) Sleep in a doorway 3) Rent a small room for the night B) Steal the book and [any of the above choices] C) 1, 2 or 3 without taking the book
No worries Sonny! I'll make this thing grow! Also to combat the RPG Death Syndrome, I've decided that your character suceeds in life when he starts earning a salary of at least $50,000 a year. Or until you die xD
Paul You say you'll join the Red Dragons, which angers the other ambassadors. You start walking towards the end of the alleyway with the ambassador who's going to take you to their headquarters when you two hear a battle cry from behind you! You put your fists up, but the RD member just whistles out. The man and women from the GK and the MK wait and stare around. Two men on motorcycles come drifting round the street to stop and face the ambassadors. The RD ambassador quickly takes your hand and forces you to run as the motorcycles rev up. You hear a scream, huge engine noise and the sound of four Uzis, only for four seconds. Bloodied motorcycles come out and you two swing on to them. YOu drive off down the road...
You are at a seemingly normal butchers called the Meatery. You go in, the butcher gives a nod to the men around you and you go down from the backroom into the cellar. There they accept you into the gang. They give you a tatoo on your right arm before you can object. Add to Contacts: Red Dragons Add to Rivals: Green Kicks and Metal Knives They all have a good cheer and a laugh as you are inducted into the gang. A 8 year old, the son of the gang leader apparently, rushes in, and kneels down to you. In his hand is a smooth, metal box. "For you..." You take the box as silence overwhelms the room. You open it slowly, and you see a beautful dagger inside. The blade is of the best and sharpest steel and the handle's grip is made of 100% leather. You see on one side of the blade a Red Dragon and on the other an inscription in what seems to be Japanese. "It says Honour. It is the one thing we expect and want from our members. The Rules... 1) Never steal, hurt, kill or take advantage of another member. 2) Although we have rivals, never attack unless you have to. 3) Never injure the general public. Collect your royalties and go. Since you are a new, but promising member, we will give you $1000, to be spent on establishments and ownings only! We will also give you one bakers shop to collect royalties from every week, starting from today." Add below Hunger, Day: (which is Monday currently), add $1000 and add below Weapon(s), Properties: 1 Baker (+$15). Congratulations! Wel come, to the Red Dragons! A) Visit your bakers shop B) Go look for another property. C) Go look for weapons. D) Meet up with some Red Dragon friends. E) Other
@Mav, if you'd looked, I'd already updated yours...
Max YOu think it unsuitable to start heading about town head held up high so you head over to the supermarket. When there, you choose an innocent target, making sure no one sees you in the process. You're following a woman and her toddler child. You climb on top of the shelves, use other people and trolleys to your hiding advantage and even manage to sneakily snatch her wallet without her realising. After about five minutes you return the wallet, saying "Did you drop this ma'am?" "Oh why thank you! Phew thank gosh! I hadn't realised at all! Here, have $5 for being such a nice young lad" You pocket the money thankfully and leave. +2 Stealth
A) Make up your own choice, it's the streets and you have no parents to say what not to do.
Paw You flip the book when no ones looking and start tearing at the bar code. When it's compltely destroyed you put into your inside pocket and walk through the doors. You hear the alarm squeal and make a run for it! You turn right straight away. You jump over some bike racks and run across a raised grass platform. You jump off and as fast as you can run across the road. You use one hand to push yourself over a rail and you run down the handrail of a set of stairs. You jump over a few obstacles and you slow down to a stop-inside the subway. You take a quick breather, before you start running again. You go at more of a jog and you settle down by the butchers doorway. You set up your bed and you sleep... +1 Acrobatics You wake up refreshed. But then you look down at your leg and you realise its bleeding. You wait until mid-day for it to heal after yesterdays strenuous running.
Paw You stay a little bit to the right of the butchers. You put a small container you found in a bin next to you whilst you read the rest of the book. +2 Int You only make $1.05 as people think that you're well off since you're reading a laminated book! You head over to the bar to hang out with the locals. YOu don't get any girls (awww :P) but you find a fellow athlete from your time at school who's snuck in as well. You chat merrily to about 3:00 p.m. +1 charisma
Provisions=food. Basically, one provision=one days worth.
Paw You tell him to stay and talk a bit more but he says he needs to study for an upcoming exam. You say bye and stay. You try to train your charisma a bit more so you sit down on a table full of three young men. They look at you angrily. You ask whats wrong and then you see a metal knife tatoo on each of their left arms. You sit up and start backing up. They all take out small yet sharp knives. They angrily approach you and a bar fight starts up. Soon a crowd is all around you shouting FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT. Sweat is rolling down your neck as you continue to dodge their swipes.
A) Counterattack strategy B) Quick attack dash out strategy C) Strong attack strategy D) Run away E) Your choice
