To Them These Streets Belong (M)

Welcome to Cranston City, a large city in New Hampshire.

The year is 1999. New years eve. The city is celebrating the new millennia. You? You’re just another lowlife stuck in the slums trying to scratch out a living in the big city. The streets are filthy. The air is worse. And the people? They come in three varieties. Those who have money--they’re far away, living the life you want to live. In fancy houses with fancy clothes and everything they could ever want. Those like you--working shit jobs for shit pay. Crappy apartments you can barely afford and living paycheck to paycheck. Then there’s those with nothing--the homeless, the vagabonds, the used-up-worn-out addicts. Literal scum of the earth. You’d almost feel sorry for them, if you weren’t wrapped up in your own bitter existence. The big city holds all kinds of thrills and temptations for the unwary soul. Gangs are rampant, drugs, alcohol, and sex are the leading money makers in your slice of the city. All too often they are the only things that provide some shred of relief from the horrors of everyday life. How you celebrate the new year is your choice…but the new day begins all too soon and you’ll be hauled back to your routine.


Rules:
My word is law
If you join this, commit. If you don’t commit, your character will be killed off
There’s no limit on characters
No characters under the age of 17.
This is a mature RP, as such I encourage you to not shy away from anything. However, due to the sensitivities of some of the members of this site I ask that anything of the graphic sexual nature you put in a spoiler tag. If you’re unsure if what you write is too graphic or not, just shoot me a pm and I’ll let ya know.
This will take place for the most part in one small unnamed section of New York. Feel free to take artistic liberty with this part of the city, as it’s not real anyways.
You’re all just ordinary people, there’s nothing special about any of you
Keep things realistic. This is meant to be an emulation of real life, so the laws of physics apply. So does common sense for that matter
Finally, this RP will have no set plot. As such, we’re all going to have to work together to keep it running. Out of ideas? Talk with other players and see what you can come up with.

Very interesting! I'd like to reserve a spot here. Will try to get a character sheet up later today, if possible!

Spot Reservation, If you would be so kind.
(Sorry if my account hasn't been on in a few months. I tend just to ghost about on here from day to day. I've been on, but have been committed to other groups until now. Hope we can pick traffic back up in here!)

I'll be getting some more work on this done tomorrow. Been a crazy week at work, so sorry for my absence.

Also, the second post here is the character section, where I'll list all the characters and who they belong to. My character can be found there. I'm hoping to start this around the middle of next week, seeing as I'll be out of town the 3rd and 4th. So, let's get those sheets done people! I'm looking forward to getting this thing rolling.
