Plot

There is no plot. Whatever you decide to do makes the story.

Exclusivity of the Types of Characters

True this roleplay does revolve more around a cops and robbers genre but you'd be missing the bigger picture if you thought it was just exclusive to just gangsters and cops.


Realism

This RP is designed to be almost fully realistic. With that said not everyone is ******** Neo. You will miss a shot if you're not looking down the sights and shooting from 25 yards away. If you do something stupid you will die.
I will generally get on your a** for using Hollywood and videogames as a reference for your realism. Meaning the belief that Kevlar protects you from every single bullet, the Barrett is the best sniper rifle in the world and can pull off a mile off shot, that little box attached to a gun is a magic bullet factory and a normal bullet to a gas tank will explode a car.

It doesn't. Kevlar can be pierced by full sized rifle rounds, the Barrett M82/107 .50 BMG sniper series rifles can shoot past a mile but with extreme difficulty and has been superseded by a .338 Lapua which is responsible for a shot that killed someone over a mile and half away while being inferior in power to a .50BMG, those little boxes are called "magazines" and look up the gun they are attached to to figure out how much ammo they hold, and only tracers and certain explosive rounds can ignite gas fumes.

Just because some fellow pulled off a mile and a half shot with a .338 Lapua doesn't mean every character can.

With the entire idea of being realistic, players' characters can die if they do something stupid. Act like a god, rely on a 'no player death' rule, and you will be punished. Every character can die, from my own to a new arrival's but I will not kill someone for idiotic reasons. If your character does get killed, that doesn't mean that you are booted from the rp unless I say you are. Simply make a new character and the slate will be wiped clean.

Other Law Enforcement

Yes I understand the idea of vigilantes they would fit into the Civilian shade of characters. I also understand that the FBI, DEA, and the ATF come into play in certain scenarios. If someone wishes to create a skeleton of the ATF, DEA, and/or the FBI, please I invite this.

In my previous versions of this roleplay there has been destructive actions performed that incite martial law where military forces would get involved but I'm a little fuzzy on exactly who is deployed to deal certain situations that conventional law enforcement cannot handle but I can give examples of situations that would make it happen.

For instance terrorist acts like leveling a 72 story building, sinking a docked cargo freighter, or using artillery, anti aircraft guns, anti tank guns, tanks, assault aircraft, and other things of the like would institute martial law.

Vulgarity, Violence and Lewd acts

If you wish to describe a decapitation to the point where it makes someone vomit, go ahead. If you choose to make your character say "********" every other word in their sentence, go ahead. However describing nudity or cybering is not allowed. Take it somewhere else.

Posting

Please put a picture of your character, and where they are in the city in your posts. For example "Location: Club 13, Little Bay" would be somewhere in your post format. If you're moving put "En route to....". You get the idea.

Don't post in some annoying light color that's impossible to read without highlighting the text. Post at least 5 sentences in every post. Writer's block is understandable but don't have it at inopportune times. OOCs don't belong here unless it's at the bottom of an in character post.

Profiles and Acceptance

Please make a seperate thread with your username in the title for your characters and syndicates and wait for my approval before starting. Put every individual skeleton in a seperate post please and if you make changes to your skeletons please make a post stating the changes.
