IC Thread: Here.



The world, in it's fragile state, has come to desperate measures to save itself. Global Warming has ravaged the lands, commerce, politics and controversy have overflowed. Civillians are traumatised, crime and terrorism have almost overrun the world.

But there is a group; a group that has uncanny knowledge, the power to play with the world like a marionette.
This group is known as the 'Rapturists'. The Rapturists have eyes and ears everywhere, in the streets, in the forests, in people's own homes. Nothing is unknown to them; no secret is safe from their ears, no action unseen by their prowling eyes.

This knowledge is useful; useful in sick and twisted ways. The Rapturists use it to rope people into corners and commands, and herding them into their many followers.
The people of Governments, the runners of the countries have come to a decision. Rather than feebly trying to destroy these all knowing people, they want to work with them.

The countries are being twisted into order, person by person, secret by secret.

But did you expect the Civillians to let themselves be bent quietly? No. There are cults of rebellion, groups of those who will not be thrown. These people are automatically registered as enemies by the Rapturists, and now the Government. They fight for their own lives, and run from the rest of the world's.

Will you fight for what's right? Or fight for what's left?


-------------------------------

S U M M A R Y

Okay, let's take a breath here.

In this Roleplay, you can play as either a Rapturist, a bent civillian, or a Rebel.

By being a Rapturist, your aim is to pry information from as many civillians as you can and get as many as possible to join the Rapturists. You also are prompted to take no mercy on Rebels, as all Rapturists who converse and let free Rebels are automatically considered Rebels. And they are always seen.
Rapturists specialise in more Sniper-Style fighting if so needed, but rather verbal fighting rather than physical.


By being a Bent Civillian, you have no aim in particular. You will be often interrogated by Rapturists and Rebels alike, and both will try to get you to join their order. Rapturists will often abuse Civillians in interrogations, if required.
Civillians don't often fight, as most are then accidentally mistaken to be a Rebel or a Rapturist.

By being a Rebel, your aim is to run, hide and survive. The Rapturists will stop at nothing to abuse and destroy you, and they're just about everywhere. You suspect everyone.
If you help a Rapturist in any way, you are considered a Rapturist, and will be terminated as soon as word gets out.
If word gets out.
Rebels specialise more in physical fighting style if needed, but will rather run and hide (very athletic/acrobatic).

R U L E S

1. Keep it clean. Blood is allowed, and a little romance. Don't force anyone into a relationship, or you will be shot by just about every Rapturist, Rebel and Civillian. Immediately. In fact, if I see anybody pressuring anybody into a relationship, I will get Chuck Norris to come and kick you.

2. If you are a Rapturist, you are not as lithe and agile as a Rebel will be. If you are a Rebel, you wont be as good and accurate a shot as a Rapturist. If your a Civillian, your not either. You still have to choose.

3. No. You are not special. You are not drastically different. You are equal, you are a fighter, you are you.


4. No major NPC's. You may not have a Romance or anything like that with an NPC. All major NPC's will be immediately killed on sight. And you will be evicted.

5. No, you are not the best of the best. You can't be the leader of the Rapturists, or the Rebels.


If you break any of those, I will automatically go into T-Rex mode and eat you.




Also, one last thing to mention.

No, you cannot ride in the pouch of a Kangaroo. I tried when I was little. Didn't end well.
Also, they don't like it when you sit on their backs. So no daring Kangaroo riding, okay?

Example using my Character:

Jack is a rather impulsive person, with a touch of notable sentimentality.
He's protective, and has a strong sense of civil good and honour. Jack will often do some stupid things.
Jack feels strongly towards the safety of children, and will often go to ridiculous lengths to save them. Little girls trigger an extreme soft spot for him.

Name: Charlotte
Gender: female
Age:18
Class:Rebel
Nationality: French
:Appearance

Spoiler:

Personality:Charlotte is rather smug and sometimes even sadstic. she will fight without showing any mercy and has great athletic abilities. She is a rather sarcastic and at times mean seance of humor. But despite all this, she cares deeply for her friends and will give up her life for them.

She moved to Australia when she married her husband at the age of 20. Due to the loss of her husband she is very protective of her daughter. She is untrusting and quite hard to get along with at first, but all she really is a dotting mother who loves her daughter very much.

Accepted, and accepted. You may both go and Roleplay in the IC section, here. ^.^

Have fun! ^.^

Any questions, go ahead and ask. :B

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Personality: Madison is sweet but she isn't easily fooled. She will help anyone who is injured. Wisdom from her grandfather gave her the talent of mixing herbs to heal. Madison is a bit clumsy and tends to get shy. She tries not to hold a grudge against someone.

Midnight Wolf: Accepted! ^.^

Go RP in the IC section now. :O

It has also come to my attention that the Rebels need a safety house of some sort. We can probably just hide in a basement and stuff, but we'd most likely move often. Rapturists on our tail, and stuff like that. ;D

Name:
Daelyn Ari

Gender:
Female

Age:
20

Class:
Rapturist

Nationality:
Austria

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Personality:
Although she appears cheerful and energetic, she is not afraid to use her unthreatening, meek appearance to her advantage. She will often flirt her way to domination, and doesn't have any qualms about harming another human being. She is ruthless and manipulative when fighting, but her personality makes a 360 degree turn when she is trying to get her way. She is gullible, and tries to be more grown-up than she really is. Daelyn is a child at heart, and tries to prove herself with merciless fighting tactics.

Approved! ^.^

YAAAAY, A RAPTURIST~ :'D
Go Roleplay now. :3

Name: Ivan Braginsky
Gender: Male
Age: Twenty-five
Class: Rapturist

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Personality: Ivan is a complete mood swinger. One moment, he may show the tiniest bit of kindness and the next; BOOM, he's a total merciless assassin who will enjoy to kill you in the slowest, painful way possible. So one should definitely be on the watch for this bad boy. He is an alcoholic; he will, maybe, be a little gracious, if you give him a bottle of the finest vodka. He is plenty assertive; in more ways than one.

I have to say, I like that idea. ;D

That'd be interesting... The Rebels however, wouldn't stand a chance. XD


You know what I just realised? Most of my RPs have something to do with either the fall of society, the rising of something, or some petty bad thing. XD
How un-original. XD

Bad double post is bad but neccessary. :'D

I will be attempting to revive the Roleplay 'Dancers on a String'.
Those who want to be part of this Roleplay, create a character, or if you already have one, please say you would like to remain in the Roleplay so I can evict any 'dead' characters.

If there are not enough participants, this Roleplay will be slated for termination.

i wanna stay in!

I'M IN. 8D

I'll be in. ^^

Hmmm, okay, that should be enough to get us started. ;D
You may wish to check if your profile is still up to par, because the picture may be missing from Photobucket.

Hopefully, we can get even more people in this time.

I'm still in. ^^
