Hello everyone this is Volkstaat (I go by Volk as well) and this is my first attempt at an RP and this one will focus on the daily lives of both foreigners and locals in the nations largest city Cape Town and how they interact with one another in this massive and diverse city.
City Life/General Information: Volkstaat is a majority white (Afrikaans) nation situated on the western portion of western half of the Cape of Good Hope. Cape Town is the nations largest city boasting almost 2.8 million in habitants of all ethnic, racial, national, and religious backgrounds. While Volkstaat is roughly 83% white and 17% black Cape Town is fare more diverse with a 60/40 population split between whites and blacks. As far as languages go it's easy to get around knowing English however knowing Afrikaans will help you out tremendously and the University of Cape Town as well as most secondary schools in the area offer great Afrikaans Emerson courses for non-native speakers.
A good portion of the city is fair peaceful however areas around the outskirts of the city are notoriously violent most notably the area of Delft. Although Cape Town is slightly below the national average in crime thanks to progressive polices but this really depends on where in the city you area with some areas more violent then others. In places like Oranjezicht (in which this RP will start and be based in) is relatively free from violent crime however vandalism is a new trend as well as drug use (mostly designer and party drugs like MDMA and other Hallucinogen's). The city's economy is based heavily on services with the computer industry taking off in the city as well as other more general service jobs like retail and customer service.
The city offered lots of areas to which one might be attractive to people including many parks, gyms, amusement parks, and the beach.
General RP Info: this RP will take place in the Suburb of Oranjezicht and depending on what you wish to do will depend on where you will stay. People who are not secondary or university students will stay in an apartment complex, Secondary Students will be located at the St. Cyprian's Private Boarding School, and University Students will take up residency at the newly built Heilige Oranje Privet University. Both schools are known for their diverted class set and great Afrikaans Language courses.
While at first I'll let this RP be built on general interaction later on I'll start to develop the story even further for all involved. I'll also allow you to have multiple characters (two at the most) however as OP I'll take on the role of multiple NCP's as well as three main characters in order to stir up activity between characters and to connect players that would other wise not meet in normal situations.
