Liber Sanctorum. A city. The world. Hell. They say it touches the sky. Everyone says it. Nearly nobody knows. 'Daylight'. Nobody knows how that is supposed to look. Everybody wants to see it, though. Same thing with fresh air. Everyone wants to breath it. Us lower class folks don't know what these things are. How they look, feel. Never seen 'em. Probably never will. Unless you get rich. Really, really rich. They say that in the uppermost levels of the city, where you can touch the sky, breathe fresh air, and bathe in sunlight, the most important folks reside. Nobles. 'Governors'. Whatever. Fancy folks with fancy names and titles. Well, me, I don't want to be no part of them. Me, well, I want to be rich. And powerful. Money only gets you so far in the lower levels. Power, and influence, though... Well, if you've got a group o' people that listen to you, you're the man. And real men go below.
Below. There where mutants and death lurk in the shadows, waiting to get you. And with them, fortune. Fortune, fame, power. Below, in the Underhive, where entire towns are built inside massive rooms, where ancient tech is waiting for us in the shadows. Below, where shit gets real. That's where you want to be. Or don't want to be. At all. Them funny mushrooms, though. Do get me some.
The RP
This RP will take place in a massive city. The higher, wealthier levels (the city is made of 'levels', so daylight is indeed pretty much non-existent) are inaccessible for now. Everyone will form his own gamg, do missions and, as the title says, Enter the Underworld, in a quest for power, wealth and funny mushrooms. While you are able to team up, mind that this is a free for all: you might just get betrayed! You're pretty much free to do what you want to do in this RP, as long as you stay in the Underworld, and Hope's Beacon, the last city level above the Underworld. Doing missions will allow you to upgrade your band of ne'er do wells, and even expand them. More on everything below!
The Authorities
The fancy folks from above see themselves as just that: they are above us. The government, or authorities, or the geezers upstairs... well, whatever you call them, they enforce the law. When it benefits them. They've got better armor than most. Better weapons, too. Shield generators, grenades. Fancy stuff. They say that sonewhere, deep underground, there lies something they want. And if it's true, well, they're close to finding it. Authority force activity has massively increased the last few days: there have already been seen seven men in their armor and colors. Something's happening below. And we don't know what, but they do. And they want it.
The Law
The Authorities will open fire on any that participate in illegal activities. These include:
- Carrying firearms in Hope's Beacon. Carrying firearms and using them in self defence against mutants is allowed in the Underworld.
- Dealing funny mushrooms
- Spreading anti-Authority propaganda
- Entering restricted areas.
Hope's Beacon
Hope's Beacon is the last level before the starts. Here there are apartment blocks, dining facilities, stores, and so forth. There's also several elevators to the Underworld, and a vacant Authority control post. It's probably here where all your characters live and meet. You'll also find people offering you jobs for when you go down to the Underworld - just don't ask them why they want certain things. It might not go that well..
Below
"the Underworld", "Below", whatever you call it, the lowest levels of the city are hell. Mutants and ruins are what you'll find there, along with the occasional gang - or, worse, Authority forces. However, you might find the most interesting things down there... Ancient technology - better than our current tech, so very valueble. Funny mushrooms only grow in the Underworld, and there's a big market for them in the city. They say they make you see funny things, and help you relax... Anyway, if you're planning on entering the Underworld, you'll better be prepared, and heavily armed. And definitely not alone.
Creating your gang.
In your app, you'll find out there's quite some stuff to fill in. To let everybody start out equally, and to give active players a reward, everything you have will be 'bought' with credits. Weapons, armor and gang memberd all require credits to be included. You can earn more credits by doing missions. Let's take a look at all the types of gang memberd, and their cost, plus the form you'll fill in for each one. You can find Bob's Store, where you'll buy your armo and weapons, in the next post. When making your app, you habe 500 credits to spend.
Gang leader
The gang leader is, well, the leader of your gang! There are no restrictions on the amount of stuff you can give him/her. You need one of these for your gang, and can only have one. A gang leader costs no creditd to include, huzzah! Equipment still costs credits, though..
