The seaside city of Wormhold. The most wretched hive of scum and villainy in the Eldergloom empire. Home to the world-renowned guild of thieves called the Gloomhounds, and the Crime Syndicate that controls them, the Triumvirate of Wormlords. Ruled by crime and corruption, this city is not only the most corrupt city in the empire, but the most dangerous. On the surface, the city is a great monument to pleasure and sin, a prime destination for the rich and powerful to come and get whatever and whoever they want, in any manner they please. Under the surface, locals either live in fear or spread it, depending on their employment. Kidnapping, slavery, and murder are commonplace.
Alright, that was just a brief description of the city. NOW. This will be semi-free-form in that there's no set storyline or overall enemy or evil force. In essence, this is about your characters and how they go about their lives in the black paradise of Wormhold. Whether you're a powerful crime lord serving under the Triumvirate, or a slave sold to a lecherous old man to serve in his whorehouse, the roleplay is about you as much as it's about the city.
Also, i'm always open to suggestions/recommendations on things to add in.
There are three main areas in the city that i can recommend for roleplaying.
The DeClothed Queen's- A Tavern/Medieval Strip Club/Brothel in the central district of the city. Frequented by people from nearly every part of life- thieves, crime lords, politicians, and peasants, even. A grand, rich building, simultaneously classy and dirty.
Hangman's Point- A fortress on the highest cliff, overlooking both the city and the ocean. Formerly a military emplacement, now a luxuriant resort-like palace, fond of sex slaves and massive parties, often thrown by Theorid, Jarl of Wormhold(reference.)
The Under-City- Before Wormhold was a city, it was a massive mining operation that dug massive tunnel systems all around the city. Many years after the mine closed and the city'd begun, City planners found that between the sea and the mountains, space was limited. So, development of the undercity began. Home to commercial, residential, and criminal establishments, the Undercity is by far the most dangerous portion of the city- and the most profitable, if you know where to look.
Suggestions for more areas of the city will be taken into consideration, so please, make yourself heard!
Character Sheets should resemble the following. (If yours is different, it may still be accepted.)
Name: (Figure it out.)
Age: (ditto.)
Race: There are no limitations, but please, try to keep it within reason.
Occupation/Affiliation: This is optional, but it must be filled out if you intend to work at one of the places outlined above, or if you intend to belong to one of the criminal organizations or city guard.
Physical Description: Hmm. Think you can figure this'n out?
Psyche Prof: Just a brief description of their personality, if you please, so i know what i'm dealing with.
Equipment/Gear: Though your character doesn't necessarily have to participate in violence, there WILL be violence in this roleplay. Weapons and Armor here plz. this is a medieval roleplay. no lightsabers or assault rifles, plz.
Background: You can put just the basic information about their past, or you can put their life story here. I'll read it, but other roleplayers might not.
Post your character sheet, and any suggestions of any kind you might have, and i'll approve/disapprove of your character sheet and take into consideration your suggestion.
One last thing to this veritable wall of text- There will be a POST ORDER, that way we can maintain some semblance of order.
You only live once.
So tell everyone exactly what you think.
