Story
Casino Tycoon James Carson owns Stoneport City. His casinos all ready steal from the poor and feed the rich by preying on the hope of the starving to win big, but the games are rigged. To make matters worse, the real crimes take place behind the scenes. His nightclubs and V.I.P. rooms of the casinos are littered with drugs, whores, and the occasional murder. Money knows no laws. Cops, politicians, doctors, even teenagers have access to these 'special' services. The poverty doesn't end there.

Stoneport City has an obvious economic gap. The rich live in massive hotels in elegant penthouses and party their money away. The poor suffer in slums. A new section of the city has been designated as the Quarantine Zone. Here poverty is so bad that none can afford housing, medical care, and even food. The conditions are so unsanitary that a deadly virus as created an epidemic and forced Carson and the City Council to wall off the infected area to stop it from spreading, nobody in or out. At least, that is the 'official' story, and good and honorable people left in the city can see the bullshit in that. The city has suffered enough, and there are some in the streets that have rallied together to topple the corrupt government and companies to try and free Stoneport and its people, before total anarchy burns the city down.

Should be enough to start sign-up. I'll add more to the information as our characters learn about it.

A non-fantasy roleplay. That's a pleasant surprise.

Name: Connor Smith
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Spoiler:
Occupation: None
Allegiance: Carson, High Rollers
Personality: He's generally not liked by anyone. His parents bought his way into the High Rollers, and even there, his snooty, irresponsible, cocky attitude has turned him into the water boy of the group. Little does he know it, but Conner has no real value to the High Rollers. With a fifth grade education, he's not the brightest of the bunch, either.
History: Conner's entire life has been supported by his parents: rich, famous, and whom he wants absolutely nothing do with. All he cares about is the money, because money bought him his way into the High Rollers, and without money he'd be nothing.
School, education, college, jobs...no need for any of that stuff, he tells himself, when he can buy his way into fame and publicity. In his dreams, he'll be the owner of Stoneport City some day. Because money buys power, and power means happiness, right?
Equipment: A gun and knife. He's got a pretty poor aim, though.
Other: Connor may be 18, but he's often mistaken for a 15- or 16-year-old. This bugs him sufficiently.

I'll join, but I'm not sure whom to use yet. It seems like the kind of environment that Senthose would thrive in, but I always have such a difficult time portraying a "modern" Senthose.

Just give him shades and a leather jacket and you're good to go.

Also, I'll be signing up for this. Eventually. I promise.

I think Nero would fit better honestly. He's pretty much a sterotypical emo in everything but personality.

Which in no way makes him a good choice for this RP.

The best thing about Senthose is that his ruthlessness makes him good on any side.

Name: Noctis Talea.

Age: 22.

Gender: Female.

Appearance: Noctis.

Occupation: Private Equity CEO.

Allegiance: Independent.

Personality: Introverted, distant, often coming off as cold and apathetic. Has a love of sarcasm, and a penchant for subtle manipulation. Her humor can seem, and, indeed, often is biting, but odds are she means nothing by it. Also prone to extended fits of laziness, and lethargy.

History: Noctis, Noct for short, was born and raised in Stoneport. Noct was raised by her single, work-aholic mother. She never knew her father, though it didn't matter much to her. She didn't have time to feel unwanted and unloved by him with her mother more than picking up the slack.
Raised by textbooks, video games, movies, and the internet, Noct quickly learned to fend for herself in a big empty apartment. When it came to schooling Noctis excelled, but this served only to get her kicked out of her home sooner than she should have. While away at boarding school somewhere in Rich Kid, Connecticut, she got word that her mother died. Since she didn't have a will written, everything went to next of kin, Noctis. Had her mother expected her death Noctis doubted she would have found a penny. Then again, who expects to get hit by a bus?
Noct, now recently graduated from business school, heads up her mother's business in private equity. Once named after her mother, Noct rebranded the company as Night Capital. Private equity has the written goal to help keep failing businesses afloat by purchasing them, and helping them succeed, thus making everyone profit. Noct found she could quintuple profits for her business' end by buying a failing company, sucking it dry of all assets; selling off parts, closing factories, cutting wages, firing workers. While the other company would undoubtedly go bankrupt, it left Night with quite a lot more than a pretty penny.
Noct whittles away her free time by going to parties held at the casinos. She doesn't ally herself with Carson, or anyone really, but he knows how to throw a good party.

Equipment: A revolver. Stoneport isn't exactly a safe place to live, so Noct got herself lessons in self defense, with a focus in CQC, and small arms.

Other: N/A

I went out of town for the holiday weekend, but I'm back now. Noct, accepted. So here's my app and that will be 3 to start at least.


Name: Ryder Montierro
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Spoiler:
Occupation: Detective
Allegiance: Independent/Justice/Monroe

Personality:
Dedicated; Virtuous; Street-Smart
Dedicated -- His history has fueled his drive to end corruption at all cost. Surrounded by it everywhere he turns in the city, Ryder must stay constantly vigilant and keep his goals in mind. The dark side of Stoneport is tempting and will take everything he has to not fall prey to it.
Virtuous -- Never able to turn a blind eye to injustice, Ryder will go out of his way to help those that he can. As long as it doesn't counter his own goals.
Street-Smarts -- Ryder spent a lot of time as a child exploring the lesser known sides of Stoneport and as he got older he got involved in more darker elements. He's well aware of corruption in Stoneport and knows his way around it all.

History:
Shortly after Ryder was born, his mother ran off and left his father to raise him alone. His father, Frank Montierro, was on the Stoneport Police force and worked a lot. This gave Ryder all the time he needed to go out and just explore. Spending most of his time on the rooftops, he often eavesdropped on late night crimes. This set him up for a future in the business. When money got tight at home, he did what any street-smart ten year old would do.

Ryder approached a well-known drug dealer in the area and convinced him to let Ryder make runs across town. Even with how messed up Stoneport was, nobody would suspect the young son of a diligent cop to be running cocaine. Karma, is not with out a sense of humor. When a drug run went extremely wrong, Ryder's drug dealer took it out on him the clearest way he could. Ryder returned from school one day to find his father murdered, stabbed multiple times on the couch, and all the money he had earned was gone.

It was the push that got him rolling. From then on, Ryder dedicated his life to his father's legacy. He spent the next few years studying law enforcement and joined the police force as soon as he got out of school. As much as he wanted to do what was right, Ryder knew the only way to really clean up this city was to play their game, which led him to do some things he deeply regrets. Now, as a detective, he has the freedom he needs to run his own investigations and bring down Carson and every criminal in this fucked up city. Whether Chief Monroe likes it or not. He loosely works with Justice and his group, mostly because their goals often cross paths.

Equipment: SPF Badge, Beretta 9mm (Holster concealed inside coat)

Wow, I missed that little fact. It is very possible. It would be interesting since he planned on knocking on her door at some point during his investigation against Carson, since she associates with him.

Yeah, I like fantasy better. I immediately dropped Max Payne 3 when Dragon's Dogma arrived and have been playing DD pretty much nonstop for 72 hours.

But, I thought this would be an interesting change from all the fantasy we have.

God I want Dragon's Dogma. I went over a friends house because I knew he had it. I got there at 9 in the morning, popped in the game, started a new file, ignored him entirely (though I took some time to play Uno with his sister), and left at 10pm. I really love the game...

Started a new file? Doesn't the game only allow one file? Starting a new game should delete the other (Atleast on PS3).

I have my PSN info on his PS3, and he has his on mine. It is a way to share PSN purchases. I can download whatever he buys, and vice versa. It is how I get most of my DLC and shit.

No, my save is on his PS3, so I'd have to actually get a thumb drive and take the save file back home, that said, I do, in fact, get the trophies for playing the game.

PSN+ is supposed to have cloud saving, so, theoretically I could play on his, then continue on mine, but I'm not sure if that is how it works exactly, and I don't have PSN+.

Also, sure. Script_Z

Yeah it does. I have PSN+. you upload to an online storage and can download anywhere. Catch is you can only have one of the same file name...so like Skyrim saves are all saved as the same name, with sub info giving the details to figure out which is which, but since they're all the same name, the cloud wants you overwrite the other save and I don't think you can just ignore it and save it as a "duplicate".
