*IMPORTANT* Ryona City Beginnings (1 Viewer)

[TheQuietAuthor]

Imagine this scenario. It was 1st January 2016, Ryona City camapaign just started once more anew. Several players now finally begin the canon and RPing, pulling out their characters and groups for all to see... But what of the story? On the New Year in canon, many companies and group suddenly popped out and be active in engaging each other as well as the rest of the City.

With varying players, characters as well as motivation and goals; it would be safe to say its not only ridiculous but it wouldn't allow for much character development and story expansion for myself and everyone involved. So with this I would like to propose a simple solution.

In about one month, all the players will have an opportunity to establish their characters and story. I do not need to know everything about them personally, though that might help give me some DMing ideas. All I would want from any characters or groups who would like to be involved in Ryona City is for them to tell me how they were established, their reputation as well as relations with other players and the city itself. What are their influence on key figures and groups? Informants in the police? Having a multi-national corporation? Your own territories and areas? Being a well known philantrophist? Being a feared criminal eventhough you were framed? All this and more is possible, but all subjected to approval, but not impossible so long as it didn't have significant advantages over the other players.

Ryona City is a very dynamic and interrelated world right down to factors like political discourses, price of food, and even different NPC gang dominance and interactions...all laid down in tables and charts hidden away to avoid spoilers and predictions. Those and many other factors, human and environmental would change depending on what the players chose to do. By giving me the information that I requested would allow and help for all players alike, old and new alike, to be more engaged and interwoven into the stories and the city itself.

The Deadline would be 3rd of January. Please either in this thread or inform me on the chatroom if there is not enough time for that. Ryona City can start after this thread is done and the story as well as the city is tweaked to include the players' input. Not compulsory, but not doing so would start you off as a 'new' group/people who started from entirely scratch, having a completely blank slate and unknown status. No reputation nor influence of any kind.

She was an average student at best, with her grades fluctuating from something that’s marginally acceptable up to actually failing classes at rare times. Her classmates are distant from her at best due to her weird attitude and senseless love for gyoza. One thing that shines forth from Mana though is her strange and unique sense of investigation skills… where in as, for an unexplained reason—as long as she has enough details and evidence on a crime—she can immediately deduct who the culprit of a certain crime is—and this skill has been tested and verified by her helping the Japanese Police force solve 3 crimes, two of theft and one of murder. After learning of her skills—a black op deal happened between the police Superintendent of the Hokkaido Police department and the Ryona City Police Department—assumedly the latter giving Mana a full scholarship run with her Criminology college course in exchange of her assistance in Ryona City’s crime investigations in turn.

Kira has deemed it for herself to strike it out on her own and live independent of her family’s massive wealth and has done so on a good note, avoiding any sort of familial conflict due to her own decision. She is currently living in Ryona City and working as a part-time waitress in the Stray Sheep as well as moonlighting as a Student Photographer. It is undeniable that she still receives support from her overly protective older brother who currently runs their company’s Ryona City branch. Surrounded by her own circle of friends and co-workers, she deems to make her own mark upon the world and to live life at its fullest despite not swimming in cash and the luxuries of wealth.


-Rin Lazaro

Age:20

Nationality: Japanese

Occupation: Figure Sculptor

City Reputation: Good/Neutral

Affiliations: Iori Toy and Hobbies Shop. Most of Ryona City’s Otaku community, Kira Fateburn’s Group

Backgrounder: Migrating from Japan due to her parents urging her to take up a degree in America’s more prestigious universities, Rin found herself residing in one of the most dangerous cities in the country, Ryona City. But rather than hide and wallow in fear and despair, she rather chose to press on with her past-time back in Japan—making anime and game figures, custom making them (for a price) to tailor to her clients’ needs. She garnered a massive following and good reputation with the J-Culture starved denizens of the city and the country, creating income of her own. Though rumors has it that she has some hidden ties in Ryona City’s criminal underworld, this has yet to be confirmed and she’s currently living a normal and peaceful life within the city with her circle of friends.

-Stellar lähetti

Age: 16

Nationality: Finnish

Occupation: Not Employed

Affiliations: Arash

City Reputation: Good/Relatively Unknown

Backgrounder: An immigrant from Finland who intends to continue her studies in America, Stella came to the country with hopes that staying within Ryona City’s streets would mean a bright new beginning for her as compared to her less than joyful life back in Finland. As present, she’s merely an ordinary student studying in one of the schools in Ryona City, living her life completely unaware of the inner and more corrupt workings of the city around her. Also, the difficulty of seeing stars through Ryona City’s night sky is quite annoying for her.

-Arash Kamāngīr

Age: 20

Nationality: Persian/American

Occupation: Mechanic/Cook

Affiliations: Stellar. Jamal’s Scrap Shop and Mechanics. Jamal. The Boss (Due to his running tab in the Stray Sheep)

City Reputation: Good/Bad (Among the Stray Sheep.)

Currently working in one of Ryona City’s less than reputable Scrap and Mechanic shops… one that’s all too often rumoured to have ties with the criminal elements of the city. One’s gotta have a place to stash and

-The Boss

Age: 56

Nationality: Unknown

Occupation: Bar Owner/Degree Holding Mixologist

City Reputation: Good/Excellent (To his patrons)

Affiliations: The Stray Sheep Bar and his clients. City drunkards and at least 90% of the gangs that prowl Ryona City. The Dog named Dog.

Backgrounder: The mysterious shades wearing proprietor of the Stray Sheep. The Boss is only known to his patrons by his nickname, taken from a famous video game character of great renown. Not much is known about the wise old man aside from his great love for his bar and his desire to make a place where all rival gangs and its members could all drink in peace without the fear of having to shoot one another in the skulls. Those who have broken the bar’s solid and fine rules of peace and neutrality has been known to disappear from the face of the Earth, never again to be heard of—no matter how strong nor Godlike their status is, thus most gangs and criminal groups tend to just groan and give each other intimidating looks when inside the bar and drinking.


-Dog

Age: 4

Nationality: Stray Sheepian

Occupation: Bar Bouncer

Affiliations: Stray Sheep. The Boss. Kira Fateburn’s left leg.

Backgrounder: Despite its name, the Stray Sheep’s mascot and bouncer is a dog named Dog, owned by the Boss himself. Most would take this as a coincidence that the aforementioned video game character of great renown that Boss based his name after from has a dog of his own—but that’s merely coincidence. Dog is a Labrador Retriever, so there. Dog often lurks around the Stray Sheep, mostly minding its own business and pestering one of its waitresses… usually showing its affection upon the girl’s left leg. Although when less than pleasing events caused by some patrons press on the bar… Dog will ensure that it stops immediately and messily, often leaving a large pool of blood as to where the trouble happened, much to the Boss’ dismay. Medical Bills are never cheap these days.
(Side Note: Yes, he's that badass that he has his own background)

Known Factions

City Reputation: Neutral (General Public)/Feared (Criminal Populace)

The long arm of Fenrir’s Justice reaches all over the world and is intent to crush all that opposes peace and deems for war.

Side Note: Despite Fenrir’s global influence—at present they do not have any direct influence over Ryona City specifically—although their reputation as a Peacekeeping force would still be known to its people… at least those who are aware of the news and current events.


Fateburn Pharmaceutical Institute

City Reputation: Neutral/Good (Especially when you need high quality medicine.)

Backgrounder: A large and well known company based from the United Kingdom and has also established a research and development branch in Ryona City due to the high amount of potential clients and customers within the region.

[thesteedman]

Kage
Real Name: Noriko Yashida
Age: 48 (looks to be early 20's)
Nationality: Japanese/British
Occupation: Private Investigator
Powers: Fast healing, Enhanced toughness
Skills: Master Detective, Small Firearms Training, MMA Style Training.

Bio:
Noriko is better known as her nickname Kage in Ryona City. Her early career was spent in the police force, famously becoming the youngest member of the "Magnificent 10". The M10 were a group of elite detectives that managed to make a difference against both criminal organisations and against corrupt members of the police force in R City. Eventually the 10 made too many enemies with their growing success, and most were killed during the "High State Shootout", a tragic event in which seven members will killed by corrupt police officials after a previous shootout the M10 had against drug dealing criminals. To this day, there are only 3 surviving members of the now deformed M10. Officially it has been claimed the drug members killed the majority of the M10 after a drug bust went wrong, but only the few that survived knew otherwise.

Noriko managed to escape the massacre, and managed to make a deal some time later to retire and keep quiet about what happened rather then risk her life further against corrupt officials that wanted her dead. When a deal was struck, Noriko was allowed to walk away so long as she didn't reveal the truth about what happened to her old team. Struck with survivors guilt, Noriko struggled to keep away from the life of an investigator, and so took up private work to help those in need.

Noriko has been active ever since. Though she often pokes her nose and disrupts various operations from criminal organisations, Kage has managed to survive thanks to her resources, intelligence and her special powers. Though pushing 50, her abilities have helped her to retain the appearance of a young lady in her early 20's. Kage has become a well known name within Ryona City thanks to her high success rate as a PI.

Squeezer
Real Name: Unknown
Age: Unknown
Nationality: Unknown
Occupation: Mercinary, Assassin
Powers: Shapeshifter, Fortitude, Super Strength
Skills: Stealth, Self Taught Master of Hand to Hand, Great speed & reflexes

Bio:
The myth of the Squeezer has existed in Ryona City for a long time. Of an unusual but stunning looking woman who came to steal the breath away from young beautiful women in the dead of night. There is indeed a truth within the myth, the Squeezer is real. She has served as an agent of the night for many untold decades, a merc for hire, available only to those few who know of her existence. Even said individuals have never met Squeezer in person, often having to deal with her "Squeeze Toys", agents who have been captured and mentally shattered before being mentally rebuilt to serve her. Only they have free contact with her.

Squeezer is often hired to kill, capture, injure or cripple or sometimes simply scare her victims. She only chooses female targets, and can often be sadistic and perverse with those she sets her eyes on. Squeezer is still largely a myth to Ryona City, but in a modern age, where a camera is in reach of virtually all people, remaining a secret is becoming slowly more difficult.

 

[TheQuietAuthor]

Thanks very much for all the entries, but it seemed that some actually isn't sure whether or not they are allowed to join.
You can. If you can read this, you can join this.
No need for anything too fancy or detailed...just ask me in Ryona City Discussion thread, or in the forum Private Message, or in the IRC, if you need assistance with character creation or have any other questions.
I also heard that some of the current players wishes to edit or add in to their post later on...

...with this I decided that as a Late Christmas gift as well as a grace period for the New Year Hangover, I will extend the date to the middle of the month. 16th of January is the absolutely last day, the cut off date...I hope this is enough for everyone to settle and think about it properly before the scene gets set.

Once again thanks for chipping in, I will see you all in Ryona City soon enough.

From her mother, Jenia, she learned a deep sense of compassion for those in need... and from her father, Razael, she learned that some don't deserve that compassion or pity. She also learned how to fight from him, and how to kill if she needed to. She killed for the first time at age 15 when she stumbled on a street gang relentlessly beating a young boy as a message to his father who owed them money. She put five people in the ground that day. After coming to terms with her guilt, she dedicated her life to protecting those who could not protect themselves.

Jenia Rowan

Nationality: American

Occupation: Doctor and medic for Serpentfang

Marital Status: Married

Reputation: Good

Affiliation: Serpentfang

Known skills: Jenia is a skilled physician and is also a skilled hand-to-hand combatant, but uses it solely for self defense. Also an exceptional cook.

Powers: Possesses a healing ability which she can use to heal wounds, but it comes at a heavy price to herself. Jenia's healing ability also slows her aging drastically, making her appear much younger than she is. (But don't say that within earshot of her.)

Bio: Very kind-hearted and compassionate, Jenia has a deep respect for life and refuses to kill under any circumstances, but she will still fight to defend herself and others. She possesses the power to heal wounds, but in so doing, she uses a part of her own life force to heal them and she feels the pain of their wounds. Though she can usually recover fully, if she expends too much of her power too quickly, she can fall into a coma and die. She discovered her power in her adolescence upon finding a young girl in the mountains, dying from her wounds. While attempting to bandage the girls wounds to prevent her from bleeding out, her hands began to shine with a golden glow and she felt intense pain in her abdomen. Though she knew she should move her hands away, she didn't, instead keeping them there and when the pain passed, the girls wounds were gone. Jenia passed out from exhaustion shortly thereafter. She can heal wounds with her power, but not diseases, so she became a doctor in order to help those whom she could not help with her power.

[MayaLazarus]

Maya Lazarus

Age: 19
Nationality: American/Japanese
Occupation: Student
Reputation: Neutral
Affiliation: Combat School
Skills: Studying many forms of hand-to-hand combat, quick reflexes, and has an enhanced combat suit for when the situation gets really bad.
Bio: Maya goes to school for fighting. You wouldn't really expect that kind of thing from a 19 yeard old school girl. She always appeared quite frail when she was little but she wouldn't turn away from a fight when the time came. She wanted to be able to protect her family with whatever she could after she found out she was going to have a little brother. Her older brother was off living on his own and so she took it upon herself to keep her family safe. They used to live in a bad neighborhood where crimes were pretty common. Burglary, home invasion, you name it and it was there. But Maya kept her family safe. She met with a strange woman who had given her an invitation specifically addressed to her. The invitation was some kind of miracle of gift from above because not only was it an invitation to a school where education was all about combat but the woman she met had promised to pay for her family's living expenses and move them out of the neighborhood right away. Maya agreed on the spot and has been at the school ever since. After a year, she developed all kinds of techniques and was given a combat exo-suit only supplied to students who had the potential to use them and she received special resources for anything she needed. Which was all possible from the request of that woman. Maya had wanted to know how this woman knew who she was and was to get all this for her. To do that, she would have to first find the woman again which is gonna be harder then she thought in a place like Ryona City. At heart she's kind and sweet like a golden flower who wants to do what's right for her family. But when the time comes the thorns rise out of the golden flower and the flower becomes a feral beast.
