PLOT

100 years ago, during a war, a group of people got together and built an underground city, called Stone. They wanted to keep civilization going, knowing that the war might wipe out mankind for good. They left just enough supplies and resources to last 105 years, but forgot to leave instructions on how to get out of the city.
However, there is a group of people, called the Alliance, trying to get out. They know that the recourses are running low, and they know they need more. But, they don’t know how long they have until the city is supposed to run out. Now it’s their job to find a way out, or find more resources. The problem is, the government is after them and will stop at nothing to diminish this group.


DESCRIPTIONS

The Government:
They refuse to believe that there is anything wrong with the city of Stone. They keep denying the fact that the resources are running low, and constantly assure the citizens that everything is alright. Any disruption in the city or denying of the security is handled by them. The punishments they give out tend to be harsh. They have tabs on people who they suspect are in the Alliance.

The Alliance:
They know a lot more about the problems within Stone than the average citizen. They have spies sent to find out what’s happening. Gossip that travels, newspapers, messages, anything that could hold news are found and read, then reported back to the Alliance. Some of them are even spies who have entered the Government to get more information from the inside. The Alliance also knows a bit more about the boundaries of the city, and have been outside of their limits. They’ve seen and know more than a lot of people. They are on their way to figuring out how to exit the city and save the population. The Alliance tries to avoid meeting in public places, due to fear of being caught. They try to keep the other citizens out of trouble as well. (Note: They only go outside the boundaries, they haven’t been above ground at all, and that’s their main goal.)

The Average Citizen:
They are completely clueless about the problems within the city. They know about the minor problems. (Food shortages, power outages, etc.) They live their lives, raising kids and doing their jobs. They support the government, and try their best to stay out of trouble. They know of the Alliance, but don’t know what their goal is. The richer citizens tend to have better power and better/more food.

The City of Stone:
There is a fence surrounding the city. Although it is underground, there is still some extra space that no one can go into. There are greenhouses along some of these borders. There are no trees/plants as it is underground, except in the greenhouses. The majority of the city is buildings, which are generally connected. There is a town square, which is surrounded by shops and a few houses. The mayor’s office is also in the town square. There isn’t really a rich part of the city or a poor part, they’re kind of mixed in with each other. Closer to the borders, there is more dirt and open space. Outside of the borders, it’s generally a wasteland.

Rules and Forms

Postby SpreadingDread » Fri Mar 02, 2012 11:09 am

RP Rules:

-Follow Tess’ rules
-Keep the genders relatively even, one guy for every girl and vice versa
-There is no limit on characters, but make as many as you can handle. If you cant handle them, don’t make them.
-No power playing, god-modding, gary-sues, or mary-sues
-Don’t go more than 2 pages with only 2 people
-Don’t feel shy when it comes to asking for a recap, if you need one, I’ll give you one.
-Do not fall in love with your own characters, it detracts from the story
-This is semi-lit so post at least a few sentences per post, if you have writer’s block, it’s fine, but only every once in a while.
- Please fill out the entire form. I realize it may be a little lengthy, but at least try.
- Please use proper spelling/grammar/etc..
- No murdering someone's character unless you ask them first.
-Keep romance to a minimum, it doesn’t exactly fit in with the RP.
-If you do have romance, keep it realistic. Love takes time, keep it that way.
-If there are any ooc arguments, don’t post them on the forum, take it to PM.
