Second Sunrise Over Lost Vegas

This is an RP that I've tried to get off the ground on several sites but the one time it's ever worked it ground to a halt about 10 posts in.

Second Sunrise over Lost Vegas

“Welcome to hell. Or, at least, the closest you can get without taking a dirt nap.” Reads the sign that used to say “Welcome to Las Vegas.” Graffiti covered that over ages ago, back before the crime lords took over the city and bought the entire west coast, from Texas up to Montana and everything west of there. They ruled the city, not doing anything about the rampant crime and murder, for about the first 50 years. But eventually a few people stepped up: The Street Samurai. A group of warriors who still lived by the code of bushido even though it was the 20th century, they started to police the streets. These sword wielding agents of justice eventually took over the upper levels of the city, driving crime back underground and providing the city with a relative amount of peace. For the next few years business started moving back in, and the upper half started to build back up. One of these businesses was Vash Industries, a major technology conglomerate with fingers in everything, from gaming to politics to military tech. Eventually they got one of their politicians into office, and ushered in a new age of peace for the upper tiers. Skyscrapers went up, more business moved in, and technology developed. The Street Samurai were no longer needed for the upper tiers, so, they were ordered to go belowground and start establishing order. They did okay, but it’s still a dangerous place if you aren’t watching out.

The Undercity is full of gangs, freaks, the whole lot of them. First off you have the Juicers, junkies who use their prized drugs to greatly enhance their own abilities, but only temporarily. Then you have the Cyber Ninjas, a group of cybernetically enhanced spies and thieves that are mainly employed aboveground by Vash Industries and their rivals to gain information and assassinate those that are deemed too dangerous to let live. The last of the gangs may just be the worst one. They call themselves the Splicers, and they got their hands on genetic splicing equipment and every last one of them is half animal, half human.

Those are the small fish, and in the Undercity they’re the least of your problems. The Undercity is ruled by the Four Horsemen, the worst crime lords the city has ever seen. Plague, Famine, War, and Pestilence, little is known of them except that they’re all highly dangerous and highly rich. Under the Horsemen are the Seven Deadlies: Greed, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride. They’re less dangerous than the horseman, but still not people to be messed with. They all command their own gangs and their own sections of the Undercity, except for Sloth, who just lives in the Horseman’s Complex and funds everything. The Undercity is collectively ruled by the Horsemen.

Greed – A slick businessman, and, like his name, EXTREMELY greedy. He owns the Casino District.

Lust – Androgynous by anybodies standards, Lust owns the city’s Red Light District and has control of the prostitution industry.

Gluttony – A wobbling mound of flesh who can and will eat anything, he owns a huge scrapyard in the Undercity, where people bring him rare delicacies or vast sums of money to pick from his massive collection of parts

Wrath – The vengeful master of Abattoir Alley, the slaughterhouse of the Undercity that produces most of the meat, which could be of any origin, but mostly those too stupid not to cross one of the Seven Deadlies.

Envy and Pride – Fraternal twins who own the Fashion District of the Undercity, the glitz and the glamour that provides Entertainment for anybody, regardless of vice.

You can play as one of the following:

Street Samurai - Honor bound Police of the Upper and Undercity. Use katanas mainly, but guns not unheard of. Completely sworn off of cybernetics because they see it as "unhonorable".

Juicer - Drug addicted gang members who use their various stimulants to enhance their abilities.

Cyber Ninja - Spies and assasins for Vash Industries, or anybody rich enough to pay better. Unfortunately those few tend to vanish mysteriously.

Splicer - Genetically spliced gang members who tend to split into groups based on species. Big Cats in one group, Sharks and other aquatics in another, etc.

Vash Headhunter - Legally sanctioned bounty hunters who are sent after the more dangerous criminals, well funded but with limited membership and range.

Okay folks, this is the OOC you've all been waiting for. Character sheets don't have to be super long but I would like a pic or extremely detailed description. As far as power levels go you guys will need to be pretty strong, but definately not indestructable.

Spot reserved for tomorrow when I get some time to think about it.

Name: Adalyn "Addy" Claisa

Age: 20

Faction: Juicers

Appearance: Standing a curvaceous 5'7, Addy is what many would call a naturally beautiful young woman. With honey colored waves and lightly tanned skin alongside her body frame and feminine nature, she is quite attractive. But otherwise, she has soft eyes that depict a frightened woman, regardless of their smooth color of a cool tropical aqua-green. She is usually found in fitting clothes beneath a jacket and hood, hiding her identity to the others on the streets.

Personality: Quiet and calm, Addy is very unsocial. She always seems to step back from people, and avoids physical contact by all means. Such behavior seems to advise that she might've once been abused to some extent. As well, she seems to have some deal of compassion for others- but either doesn't show it, or shows it incorrectly. She tries otherwise to act as though she is unaware of emotions.

Abilities:
-The ability to change the color of her appearance to blend in. Camouflage in other words.
-Night vision.

Possessions:
Drugs
-Street Skin: allows her the ability to blend into her environment, but only if she is flat against some surface and still.
-Night Walker: allows her night vision, or sight in darkness.
---
-Amphetamines:: Crank (form of Meth):: A toxic drug that is addictive, and keeps Adalyn on the streets regardless of her own desires.
-------
Weapons
-Freya: A slender blade that is just longer than a dagger. It starts out somewhat thin but widens out and then tapers down to an abstract edge at the end. Somewhat jagged, it is a vicious weapon that's good at ripping flesh from bone.
-Small pocket knife: as just said, it is about seven inches in length when extended. Folds shut and clips to the inside of the pocket.
-------
Other
-A sleek little cell phone of sorts. It keeps her in contact with her dealer.
-A tube of black cherry chapstick.
-A wad of cash.

Other:
-Addicted to crank
-Phobia of being raped
-Paranoid of being watched

I suppose I'll put up an OOC. This is still open folks! Another person would be just awesome!

Reserving this for a sign-up. Should be done in an hour or so.

The ooc is up guys

No, actually she's a french model named Laetitia Casta, who's quite pretty and facially expressed the appearance of my character.

Of course I can't. I have a girl fetish. I'm a recovering addict.

We need to stop defiling Elric's interest check now XD

The only way to defile this thread any further would be to merge it with the flirtation thread.
