-This was originally meant to be a gang/faction roleplay, however the idea was scrapped when not enough joiners were available. So, now everyone has characters that are opposing the factions, getting away from them, creating their own factions, or whatever they choose to do. City Cordis is there for them to make it their own!


Backstory -


In the year 2034, something big hit. No, not nuclear war, like some thought. It was something only known as a "Supervolcano." Now, if you're wondering what that is, it operates like a volcano, hence the name. Magma from the Earth's core rises up through cracks and crevices of the Earth's crust, eventually making enough pressure to create the landform that takes on the shape that we now can easily distinguish as a volcano. Supervolcanoes are much larger hot-heads, which only fits the name. Supervolcanoes build up immense amounts of pressure and monolithic amounts of magma, making them incredibly dangerous and a disaster that could push many species, even humans, to extinction. This process takes time, however. Millions and millions of years, so everyone disregarded the thought of an eruption happening in their time.


Eruption -


It's a shame that we didn't foresee this, considering the technology and superiority over all other species we possessed. The eruption was in Yellowstone, a name known worldwide for it's popular park and wild-life reserve. Yellowstone held a dark, bubbling secret under it's crust, and it chose to reveal it in the year 2034. The damage was immense. Everything within 100km was showered with ash, debris, and magma within a matter of five minutes. Everything within 1,000km around it was obliterated in a matter of days, and everything else that was further out wasn't safe either. You see, within three days, the whole world was clouded with volcanic ash that blocked out the sun, eventually causing the world to become a giant icicle. Anyone who caught a even a whiff of the nuclear ash in the beginning of the eruption died from the intake of the thick ashes and the toxins the ash contained, making nobody safe but those who were underground. Now, eight years later, the ash is still blocking out the sun, making it sustain subzero temperatures daily. Going out without protective clothing will kill you in a matter of minutes, but in the town now known as Cordis, going out without a weapon will get you killed even faster.


City Cordis -


City Cordis is a large city that features low-topped buildings varying in the sizes of a single story to eight, and some that are even larger. The roads are permanently iced, the buildings have a permanent sheen of light blue on them, and common blizzards wear down the already-old-buildings even more. The city is roughly a bit more than a half a kilometer large


Major Locations -


Some major landmarks include The Bishop Hotel, which is a largest building in City Cordis, towering at twelve stories high. It's owned by the faction known as Hailstorm, considering it's far on their half of the turf. The hotel is only habitable on the second, fourth, and fifth floor. The other floors are degraded beyond repair. The Super Market is an area that both factions want, considering its surplus of canned goods, which is the only food that is good as of now. It's owned by the faction known as The Blood Circle. The Blood Circle heavily guard this area, as raids performed by the Hailstorm faction is now a common thing. "The String" is a group of low-topped building that is present in both territories. These low-topped buildings are easy, but also deadly to traverse and a few people have been fatally wounded from misjudging their obstacle, or being overconfident in a jump. Bloodbath Opera is a common name given to a small amphitheater that was once used for school performances, operas, and plays. Now, this useless piece of territory is a bloodbath where the two factions attempt to show their dominance over one another. Currently, The Blood Circle faction has handed the territory over to the Hailstorm faction due to recent battles that have been lost. The Military Bunker is where the Blood Circle faction resigns. It's a cement case that features a kitchen area that runs on propane, a sleeping quarters which features bunk-bed cots, a recreational room which is just an open room with some chairs and a couch for sitting and conversing with one another, and a metal door which can be locked with metal bars that will slide into place. The Hailstorm faction used to live in the Military Bunker, however a large group went out and settled The Bishop Hotel about two years ago. That was when there were no factions

---->>>>Your character, however, is not a part of either of these factions. They are the rogues of City Cordis that fight for their lives, attempting to survive from the frequent attacks that the Hailstormers and Blood Circle faction members impend on them. They're sick of it and they're fighting back, but they can't do it alone. So, they're either going to rise up to cleanse City Cordis of the faction and establish a new faction or group, or they will carve their own paths in the dense streets of the city, possibly making a bigger change than one could have ever imagined. It could all fail, it could be a turn for the worst, it could result in one person rising to the top to finally make things right, or make them turn for the worst. The choice is yours.
Rules -

Rules are listed for a reason, guys.

No Garry-sues or Marry-sues.

Romance is allowed, but don't go overboard for Christ's sake.

Guns are incredibly rare, meaning your character won't have one.

No unrealistic or highly advanced weapons. Ex. - "Geoffrey carries a Katana." That doesn't fit at all.

No godmodding, metagaming, spotlighting, or powerplaying.

Not being affiliated with any faction is allowed, but if you want a rogue character, you must have at least one character in each faction.

Having more that one character is ENCOURAGED!

I want some gender neutrality, meaning that there has to be a balanced male/female ratio.

Literacy is a must.

Your enemies are generally going to be the Hailstorm Faction and the Bloodstorm Faction.

Killing enemies and such will be based by you. No dice. Conflict between RPers will be settled by them, and I will step in if needed.

-----------

My word is law, and rules may be added at all times.

(MCB we can start. Changed Bernard's clothing so I accounted for it in the post.)

Bernard strolled through the tightly packed streets of the district often referred to as "The String," in City Cordis. The roofs were low-lying and dangerous to be on if you didn't know what you were doing. Bernard, a seasoned dweller in City Cordis, knew his way around the close alleyways and dangerous roof tops like the back of his hand. He made his way along in a brown trench-coat along with a pair of black skiing breeches that kept him warm for a good duration of time. He wore a pair of hiking boots that had worn cleats from how long he had used to decent pair of boots. Atop his head, he had a fur hunter cap on that drew down and covered his ears. He also had a pair of snow goggles for when the weather got rough, but for now, it wasn't, so they were left dangling around his neck.



He was looking around in the packed streets for a place to stay, predicting that the city was in for another blizzard any time soon when he could have sworn that he had heard something...

Carson.

I stood with my gasmask on, the edges around the lenses snowy white. I look at a tattered blueprint with some other people, hoping we could build up a guard tower somewhere.

Just Blaze It Up.

(Gonna try two different narrative structures, see which one works better.)
Solomon & Haruhi

"And here I was, stuck out in the snow that chilled to the bone, narrating my life in my head. Saying things over in my head always helped me make sense of a situation, no matter how bad it really was. I knew my way around this place fairly well, though most of that could be attributed to my beautiful companion's sense of direction. My hood was pulled up, and Haruhi had her mouth buried in her scarf. Today was colder than most days. I had stopped in my tracks and turned to the girl with me."

" 'Do you know where we're going?' I asked, none too sure about what we were doing with our boring and haphazard ambling through the snowy wasteland."

Haruhi (? that's her name, right?)

Haruhi was shivering from the cold in her thin clothing. She was too cold to speak so she simply shook her head, her teeth chattering audibly. She tried to keep the cold at bay by thinking of some of the more joyful things she had experienced in life; like stealing computers. That was a good time. No, that didn't help though. She was still freezing, her whole body was experiencing uncontrollable tremors. She wasn't going to last long in this state.

(yeah yeah)
Solomon & Haruhi

"I knew from that we really did have to keep moving, either because I was cold as well, or because I was so taken aback by Haruhi's inability to speak as she usually did. Must've really been freezing for her. It seemed Haruhi had forgotten her more substantial clothes in that makeshift shelter and she was going to freeze to death, or attract attention from approximately everyone in a five-mile radius from her teeth chattering."

" 'Let's find a place to rest then,' I said, as we continued our aimless wandering, though I was on the lookout for some sort of hearth or oasis of heat in the city, hoping to soon find one and be able to curl up and rest."

Haruhi

Her teeth kept chattering but she nodded, being quite fond of the idea. The hypothermia was starting to disorient her and she leaned on Solomon for support.

Solomon & Haruhi

"As we walked, I was almost certain I heard some sort of crunching in the snow. Looking back on it now, we probably should've drawn weapons and loudly proclaimed the fact that we were armed and able to strike. Then again, Haruhi was freezing to death and probably wasn't actually able to strike. Thus, we didn't ready our arms and yell out about our willingness to assault someone."

"I wasn't at all too sure where we were, though that ignorance was quickly washed away by the sight of the Bishop Hotel. It was against all common-sense to actually enter in when you weren't part of the Hailstorm. No sane, rational person with even a modicum of respect for their own life would walk in there with no affiliations or connections to the Hailstorm. Then again, no person fitting that description would end up as a career criminal. I heaved a sigh and looked over at my dear companion."

" 'That place looks warm. Dangerous too, probably. Try to be diplomatic though, we don't need to get bludgeoned immediately upon entry,' I said to her as I began leading the way into Hell on Earth. For us, at least."

Haruhi

Haruhi followed, still chattering on. Her eyes were closer, her lashes flaked with ice. She was unresponsive and she was only being kept up by Solomon. She followed blindly and she didn't even hear what Solomon had even said.

Solomon & Haruhi

"I pushed open the doors of the Bishop Hotel. Now that I really think about it, that was probably one of the stupider actions I'd taken. Maybe I wouldn't be where I am right now, going through what had happened to bring me where I am if I hadn't opened that door. Oh, but I digress. I opened the doors and walked in, pulling Haruhi in with me, before closing the means of egress behind us. I sat down at the door and motioned for Haruhi to do the same, before just waiting and hoping for the cold to leave our bodies."

Haruhi -

Haruhi sat down, already feeling a bit warmer. The interior of the hotel was warmed by a few barrel fires from what she could see. She opened her eyes partially, still dazed. She closer them again, not moving.

A younger woman rounded the corner in a hunter's drab, her blonde hair hanging out the back of her cap. She had a hatchet at her belt which she quickly drew, taking a step back from Haruhi and Solomon.

She seemed to be waiting for one of the two to act first.

Solomon & Haruhi

"I couldn't recall what exactly I was thinking when I first spotted the hatchet-wielder. Though, I do recall deciding that it was necessary to not start a fight immediately. Scaring her off would've been a better move. So, pushing up my glasses, I stood up and moved to be in front of Haruhi, who was still recovering from the vertiginous effects of the cold. Vertiginous. I like that word."

Solomon stops his story-telling for a moment, trying to recall exactly what he said, scratching the back of his head as he did so. Then, with an audible "ah," he continues on.

" 'If you're going to go the route of cutting us up,' I started, glaring at the hatchet, 'you're going to need a sharper blade.' "

(Yay! Finally!)
(Just gonna jump in with Todd)

He peeked out the window of his crappy house to see a few gang members on both sides fighting for a bit of territory "Their at it again..." he sighs "Damn them. Their so loud..." he turns and looks at the gun on his wall "If only I had some ammo, I could end this argument right quick"

"I'll go the route of beheading you with my friends if you want to talk with a mouthful like that," the young girl said, looking to be about 16.

Solomon & Haruhi

"I distinctly recall making some kind of dismissive shrug. The kind of gesture that could be well regarded as a taunt, a beckoning, a dare for any foe to step forward with a rancorous intent. After that gesture, I slipped my hand into my pocket and extended my baton, before lightly tapping Haruhi on the shoulder with it, a signal that horrible things were about to happen."

Solomon & Haruhi

"If I actually were dumb and went on stupid Internet websites all day, I'd probably have decided that 'stupid' is one of my trigger words, which would bring my blood to a boil and result in some nuclear calamity, with my reasoning for having said trigger word being the bullying as a child. Of course, I'm not one of those people who make up trigger words or medical conditions. I calmly sat next to Haruhi, with my weapon in my lap."

" 'She's run off,' I reported to Haruhi, 'feeling better yet?' I proceeded to ask, with a degree of concern in my voice."

Haruhi

She shook her head. "No, not much better," she said meekly. They had only been in there for a few minutes. She was able to respond and could hear Solomon which was an improvement, however. She wasn't ready to go but it seemed that if they didn't they'd be dead in a few minutes.
