Dark Obsidian: An Original Noir Game [26 May 2010|04:57am] You can't handle this place Welcome to Obsidian City where the sun never shines, the crime never sleeps and love never dies. A dark city in all sense of the word, Obsidian City is lucky to see one day of sunshine. If the city is dark at night, it isn't much better during the day. Too much smog and cloud blocks out the half decent light that struggles in between the skyscrapers. People make do though, possibly a little angrier than those who live under the undivided sun, a little more miserable, a little more hopeless. This is no city for the weak, and it certainly isn't a tourist hot-spot. Obsidian City was never a shining city on the hill, it was built and born as if already crumbling down. Beneath the heavy, dark clouds that rarely seem to let up, lies a sprawling mecca of theft, corruption and greed. It really is no wonder that in such sunlight starved streets, there is little light to be had in the city’s inhabitants. Each jewel-named district hardly lives up to its name: The Ruby District, a self-sufficient community of its own, ruled by whores, who are the law. The rich are safely tucked away in The Onyx Towers, far from their poorer brethren, the utterly impoverished who languish in the Ivory Narrows. Outside of The Ruby District, where the only laws are their laws, it is not the oft corrupt and always under funded police force that holds the most sway in the run of Obsidian City. No, the city is divided up and controlled by three major crime families, in close environs that seem to speak of a constant threat of war between two or more of the ruling families. The Russians led by the Petrovskii Family, from their base of operations, Duma, an upscale nightclub known for its beautiful women and for the illegal deals made in dark back rooms, lord over the Diamond District. The Irish led by the O'Donnell Family, from the Irish pub that the first O'Donnell to come to America founded, long ago, loud and busy and full of their history, control the Emerald District. The Italians led by the Pavoni Family, from their Italian family restaurant in the center of the Topaz district, and come with as much flourish and ceremony in both their illegal deeds and their lifestyle. The Families are not the only ones that the populace should fear, as there have been recent whispers that there is a serial killer preying upon the inhabitants of the city, lurking in the shadows and bringing death with them. As if the population of Obsidian City didn't have enough on their plate, they now need to look over their shoulder at every step. And so do you.

[26 May 2010|04:42pm] Ridgeway Resort PREMISE RULES FAQ TAKEN HELD APPLICATION Have you ever been sitting in front of your television, or in a movie theater, wondering what it would be like to meet the people flickering over the screen? In the lush surroundings Ridgeway valley we make your dreams come true! Come down to Ridgeway Resort, where you can see all your favorite characters in person! And go home feeling all warm and fuzzy inside with memories that will last a life time. -------------------------------------------- We're a asylum that brings original characters together with canon characters, this is a panfandom RP. The only restrictions on the 'OC' are the play bys. We can't have our canon characters running into themselves, it would be weird, and might send them to the medic because of a major freak out. We can't have that. Not that we don't welcome weird moments, we love those! But that would be just a little too much... If you enjoy the experience and want to become a permanent, you're welcome to apply for one of the canon characters that are not taken. Any Fandoms are welcome, we simply ask for a fleshy play by rather than a cartoony or 3dish sort, just to keep the players around you comfortable... I don't know about you but I think Jacob Black would feel weird about standing in front of a cartoon strawberry shortcake. post comment
