I thought it would be a good idea if we had another sci fi roleplay, so I decided to make one. I would prefer it if this one happened more on the ground rather then in space, since they bore me after a while.
The world is set about a thousand years in the furture, its not a horrible place, the technology is more advanced and the people have different dress senses, plus there are aliens in the world. However it still has all the same problems that this world does.
The basic plot of the roleplay is that there's a crime lord dragging down what should be a nice city, he's hurt a few people and a lot of people are out to stop him.
There's some rules people in the world that the people have adhere to, only trained law enforcer are allowed weapons, if your a alien and have natural weapon then you have to register with the goverment. All crimes should be dealt with by a trained Law Enforcers (basically the name for cops)
However this doesn't work out as well as some people would like, since the Law Enforcer's are slightly useless, they always have to go through the propler procedures to take down someone and they can be bribed and manipulated.
So, just make a character (alien, human or cyborg) make up a reason he wants to go after the crime lord (I'm not naming him yet because I thought we could find out the name in the roleplay. At the beggining of the roleplay he should be a shadowy figure that not many people no much about)
Oh and a few more things, the drugs in that world are much worse then in are world, the make people go out of there heads and occasionaly mutate people. Plus the city should be a generally nice place, except the backsteets should be horrible and grimey. and the car's fly rather then go along the ground.
________________________________________________ Name: Scorpion
Age: 30
Appearence: Has a mechnical arm, his eyes are red and blood shot, his other hand has been mutated into a claw. He also has a large scorpion like tail, thats able to shoot out acid. His face is burnt and mangled. Scorpion's skinny yet muscular at the same time. He wears tight leather trousers and a ripped black t shirt, it had to be ripped so his tail could get of it.
Backstory: Has no memory of his family, he just remembers a period where he was high on drugs, fortunately he was a strong enough person to get of them, yet they left him mutated. After that he went searching for what happened to his parents, he kept on stumbling on files that said they were killed by a crime lord (his name was always erased) so now he's searching for the crime lord in order to find answeres.

Name: Anderaz ('Raz') Age: 27 Race: Alien Appearance: Looks more or less human-ish with electric-blue hair and pale skin. Seems to be used to a much warmer climate than earth as tends to dress warmly all year round and stay indoors in winter. Personality: Is a rather reclusive character who dislike being touched but can be sparked into insane, unchecked fury when provoked enough. Is, however, easily calmed down by music, and thus always carries with him a wind-up music-box locket. Backstory: His parents came to earth when he was a child, and while they were out doing business he entertained himself with music. On the day he finally accompanied them out of their house they were kidnapped, and he later learned, when he was resuced, that his parents had been killed by the Crime Lord. Is willing to join anyone who wants to see the Crime Lord destroyed, but is slightly afraid to leave his home.

Scorpion stroled down one of the more deserted streets, it was late at night and the cops seemed to fear going down this street at this time of night, Scorpion didn't have much to be scared of, unfortunately his recklessness in his pursuit to for answeres had earned him a reputation, and it wasn't a particuarly good one either.
His eyes flickered from side to side, the people on the street hushed and back away from him, some of there eyes widened in terror. Scorpion was trying to find out answeres about the crime lord, it was going slowly, he didn't have a name, a face, he just knew that people feared him.
The further he walked down the alley the less civiliased it became, the ground started to crack and it became almost impossible for a car to get down the road, the gangs became bigger and braver. Scorpion considred stopping, if he went much further his repuatation wouldn't be enough to keep him safe. "Why am I even out here, there's no point to it." Scorpion asked himself as he turned around, to go hom, The answer came to him immediately, he was out on the streets looking for an alley, he was wondering aimlessly because he didn't know where to look

As he slowly turned on his heels two strong hands shot out and seized his collar, almost dragging him off his feet. Scorpion lashed out with his clawed hand to knock the person aside, and he heard them stagger into the wall. He looked up to find himself surrounded by men, humans, dressed in thick black clothing, dirty and ragged, each of them with some improvised weapon in their hands. "Look who it ain't," one said, giving Scorpion a shove. "Little insect." "Get out of my way," Scorpion said calmly, a hint of anger on his voice. The men laughed, though a few looked nervous. The man he'd pushed aside had returned, blood trickling down his forehead; dedicated drug use had mutated his torso, his shoulders broad and his shoulderblades morphed into thin spikes that curled to either side of his face. "Little Scorpion shouldn't be out at night," he mocked. "Might get hurt by big scary men." In a flash Scorpion's thick, blackened tail shot out and he spun around, knocking three of them men from their feet. Two others tried to grab him but he lashed at them with one mechanical arm and one claw until he was released. Kicking the large man aside he jumped away and ran back. Choosing swiftly he ran to a shambled building, its windows boarded and the paintwork flaking, smashed through the door and ran inside.

[glow=red,2,300]That may be a good idea[/glow] Scorpion stood silent, he was trying to stop from panting, he wondered if the men had followed him, for a while he didn't hear anything, then he started to realise the floor was shuddering slightly, they were coming near him...he was trapped.

Thinking fast, he bolted the remains of the door and shoved the broken dressing table against it, then ran down the corridor to the back of the house. He came out into what looked like an old living room, falling into disrepair; he was looking around for another exit when suddenly the light switched on. Scorpion froze, aware of being watched. His eyes darting around, he tried to see who was there. Slowly a figure rose from the corner of the room where someone had been crouched beside the window. As Scorpion's eyes adjusted to the light he saw a man with electric blue hair and a strangely pale face; he was dressed in a thick brownish-red hoodie and jeans and was holding a metal torch in one hand. For a moment neither of them spoke, staring at one another. Then a heavy cracking sound from the other room reminded Scorpion that they were being trapped. "They're coming," he said, turning back to the stranger. "We have to get out of here." The stranger followed him back into the corridor. "Who?" "One of the gangs. They're right outside. Where's another way out of this place?" "I'm not leaving," the man said. Scorpion stopped. "We have to!" The stranger looked down to where the gang members were forcing through the door. "Let them leave," he said. "I will not." "What, you want to fight them?" "If I must." Scorpion rolled his eyes. "Fine then. Do whatever you want." As he turned again the door exploded and the gang members flew into the building. The stranger dropped his torch and tugged a gun from his belt, firing down at the gang. [glow=red,2,300]EDIT:[/glow]

Scorpion went to leave, he started walking, but as he heard the cry's from the battle he realised he couldn't, he couldn't leave an innocent man...or alien to die. For a moment he whished that he had brought a weapon, or had a weapon, yet his tail would have to do. As fast he could he wrapped his tail round one of the members of the gang, the man started to choke and scream as Scorpion lifted him of the ground. The man turned red, purple, then pale. The other members of the gang were to busy firing at Raz to care about there friend, Scorpion tossed his limp body into them, they stumbled and fell to the floor.

Together with gun, tail and bear hands they killed four of the gang members and drove the others away. The stranger grabbed Scorpion's hand and led him to the stairs, and Scorpion obediently followed before the gang could return with more people.
Upstairs the stranger pushed Scorpion into a room and locked the door behind them. Scorpion noticed a fire escape at the back of the house. He turned to the stranger. "Who are you?" "Anderaz Captain," the stranger said, rearranging his headband while catching his breath. "And you?" "Scorpion," he said, eager to leave the house. "Come on, we should get out of here..." "I told you," the stranger said. "I'm not leaving." "Look, Anderaz--" "Raz." "Raz," he continued, "we're not safe here. Why do you want to stay?" "Because this is my home," Raz said quietly. Scorpion wasn't sure what to say. "This is where my parents brought me when we came to this planet," Raz continued. "They came and went but they never abandoned me. I always stayed here. Then I left with them, and...they never turned. I came back alone, and I've been here since." Scorpion hesitated, confused at the openness of the stranger and yet strangely curious. "Why...why did they not return?" Raz sniffed, sitting down on the table in the room. "The same reason most people in this place are homeless, parentless, childless," he said. "The Crime Lord."

For a moment the reveal shocked Scorpion, he was taken back by the bluntless of Raz. He didn't know what to say or how to react. Then he realised that Raz had been open with him so the only thing he could do was return the favour. "Your not the only one, The Crime Lord killed my parents to, I think, I'm not sure. I can't remember. But I keep finding documents and statements that say he did." Said Scorpion finally, he went on to ask. "You don't happen to know anything about the man, do you?" "No, I'm sorry, but maybe we're not alone in this fight as we both thought." "Hmm, no, maybe not..."

Name: Yager Age: 34 Race: Human Appearance: Tall with rugged looks. He has straight long grey hair and deep blue eyes. He wears a black suit with black shirt and white tie, also wears small rectangle shaped blue sunglasses. Personality: Tends to not talk about his past or how he feels. He rarely shows any emotion and only does when its overwhelming. Backstory: He used to work for the crime lord however due to a series of unfortunate events a large shipment of illegal items was lost that cost the crime lord almost a third of his money. In revenge he killed everyone involved and their families. Yager lost his wife and two daughters and has been on the run trying to avoid any public places incase he gets spotted and killed however always leaps at the chance to kill any member of the gang when they are doing some sort of activity. This is why he has two silver pistols under his jacket.
[glow=red,2,300]This can turn out differnt if you want, meaning what I type after this[/glow]
Yager had watched the violence that had taken place before he was about to kill the gang members himself. He had spotted the the scorpion tailed man being pulled away by someone with blue hair. He thought for a moment and made up his mind. If they were killing members of the gang...maybe they would help me in my vengeance he thought.
He headed over to the stairs and climbed them slowly then he reached a door. He knocked slowly wondering what their immediate reaction might be to him.

Raz and Scorpion jumped at the sound of knocking; Scorpion's claw clenched and Raz went for his metal torch. Scorpion stood up and, edging forward, he slowly opened the door. Behind it was a tall, grey-haired stranger, eyes hidden by square-edged shades. "Who are you?" Scorpion asked sharply, as Raz stood up behind him. "What are you doing in my house?" Raz added, gripping his torch tightly. "I am an enemy of the gangs," the stranger said slowly, "and thus, it seems, a friend of yours. Will you let me through?"

"What? Why should we?" Raz objected "Can you even prove that your on our side?" Scorpion added "There would be no point in telling you a story because stories can just be lies, lets see something to prove it" He said with little emotion.
Someone downstairs who had only been unconcious and hadn't had the chance to run away stired. He got to his feet and grabbed his head and looked the stairs. The man cursed loudly and tried to run but with barely but a glance Yager pulled out his gun then pulled the trigger. The bullet flew out of the gun and into the back of the mans head, the body stumbled and fell over a chair. "Theres your proof" Yager said as he put his gun away.

Raz nervously looked from Scorpion to the newcomer, gripping his torch. "That doens't mean anything," he said. "Hundreds of people hate the gangs. That doesn't mean they're enemies of..." "The Crime Lord?" the stranger interrupted. "We aren't safe here to discuss this. Follow me and I'll explain." Scorpion didn't like the idea but he couldn't deny that they were still in danger. He began to follow the newcomer to the fire escape. "I'm not leav--" Raz began, but Scorpion grabbed his arm and dragged him after them.

For a while Raz protested but eventually let himself be lead along, he wondered where they were going and what was going on. Things didn't seem all that peaceful at the moment. Scorpion was weary of the knew comer, he was wary of Raz to for that matter, he didn't know either of these people, and they didn't seem normal. Even so, there was something sincere about both of them, so he willingly followed the man down the street.

Yager burst open the gate at the bottom of the fire escape and led Scorpion and Raz around the corner onto the street running behind the houses. Scorpion ran forward to catch up with Yager. "Where are you leading us?" "Away from here," he called back. "Somewhere where we can talk about this in safety." Scorpion tried to keep questioning but Yager ran on ahead. He checked behind to make sure that Raz was still there, a few meters behind, and carried on running.
Eventually Yager led Scorpion and Raz to what looked like an abandoned train station where a railway led into the distance. Yager led them around the station and they walked a few miles down the track, until they came to a bridge that led over an almost-completely dried up river. Yager led them down the muddy slope to where, beneath the bridge, a hidden doorway was set into the stone, almost covered by overgrowing vines and weeds. Scorpion helped Yager tear most of these away while Raz stood nervously nearby with his metal torch clutched tightly in his hands, until Yager was able to force the doorway open, revealing a dark tunnel.

They enetered the tunnel in single file, it was dark and musty, there was a strange splashing soound all the way round the tunnel. Raz felt something break underneath his foot, he looked down and to his horror he saw he had crushed a little rat, the blood was oozing out from his foot. Yager seemed a lot more accustiomed to the the tunnel, he was striding through it, occasinaly stopping to make sure he was going the right way.
Eventually the got to a heavy metal door, it was dented with bulltet marks, Yager fumbled around in his pocket and with drew a key, the door creaked open.

"I don't like this," Raz whispered to Scorpion. Scorpion could see his hands shaking around his torch. He wasn't sure what to say. "Just stay by me," he found himself reassuring him. "We'll be okay." Why was he reassuring him? Raz was no less of a stranger to him than Yager was. There was something in Raz's pathetic nervousness and childlike homesickness that made him seem trustworthy, and something in Yager's fearless confidence that made him weary of him. But both of them seemed eager to help him, and if he was going to fight the Crime Lord then he needed all the help he could get. Conscious of Raz trembling behind him he remained silent as Yager pushed the door open and led them inside.

The room was small, and number of odd machines swirled and clinked, towards the end was a old an worn looking couch with a table next to it, a number of books and papers were slung idily across the table, some of them had been drawn on. Water dripped from above the celing, it tapped gently on there heads. "I think we'll be able to talk safely here." Said Yager, casting a suspicious eye down the hall way, the closing the door.

"I suppose so but I'm more worried that we might catch a cold" Raz said as he sat down. "Hmph so Aliens do catch colds? One less thing for me to think about when I'm bored" Scorpion said as he brushed some dirt off his tail. "They're deadly to some Aliens though" "Now that we've been enlightened can we please move on to the whole point of me bringing you two here?" Yager interrupted and paused to see if they would be difficult "Good, If we are to outlive the crimelord we need to plan our moves carefully to live long enough to send our bullets into his head"

Raz sniffed, settling down in his chair. "We can't do anything by ourselves," he mumbled. "Not just three of us." "Just one of us would be enough to destroy him," Scorpion said. "The three of us can destroy him easily if we work together." "Exactly," Yager said. "What we need is a strategy. What do we already know about him, what do we need to find out?"

Post by Aulius on Dec 27, 2006 16:25:41 GMT
"What do we know already? Thats a stupid question" Scorpion snorted as he shifted trying to get comfortable on the couch. "Alright I'll rephrase that...What do we know about him apart from that he his cruel, intelligent, flanked by enough armed men it could be classed as several armies, he has excessive exotic tastes in food with an appetite to match and a waistline thats keeping up. That he will do anything to someone to get the information he wants even if it means that the persons brain is more or less become goo. He owns the tallest tower in this city and has a large penthouse on the top with its own anti air systems making it difficult for anyone to try and attack it. Apart from that what else do we know?" "Pure evil?" Raz added "I think that sums it up" Scorpion agreed "But just killing him won't be enough. He has two sons that are his accountants and hitmen who could easily succed his lordship if he were killed. They would make life difficult for all of us unless they fight over it then expect to see more bloodshed than before" "He also has a daughter. He would do anything for her if she asked him, she's mostly ignorant that her father is any sort of criminal but more of a 'Successful Buisnesman'" Yager added "I had to gaurd her a couple times, spoilt brat in short"

Post by Ceri on Dec 27, 2006 22:49:32 GMT
"So what do you suggest we do?" Scorpion asked. "We can't just assassinate him, because then his sons will be onto us, not to mention taking over from him. The crime would simply go on and we'd be hunted till we were dead." "I admit, an assassination was my best idea," Yager said. "But it won't be enough." "We should just lock them in a cupboard and blow them up," Raz mumbled. He didn't look as though he wanted to be there at all. Yager looked at him for a moment. "In principle, that could work," he said. "If the entire corporation was sealed in somewhere they could all be destroyed at once. The problem would be getting them all to the same place at the same time, and installing explosives or some other method of mass destruction without being seen or blown to pieces." "I wouldn't mind being blown to pieces," Raz said. "If they were as well." "Don't get your hopes up," Scorpion said warningly. "So is that what we'll do?"

Post by Aulius on Dec 28, 2006 0:30:08 GMT
"Blowing them up would be difficult. How would we plant the explosives without getting spotted?" Yager said "We could get someone to do it for us?" Raz asked "No chance, no one is that crazy...unless you can find at least 20 suicidal people who are willing to put off killing themselves for a little while?" Yager asked sarcastically, which was hard to tell as there was little change in the he spoke. After a long pause he finally said "You know...his daughter goes out alot, so she's exposed most the time. If we could kidnap her lets say when she's on her way to the toilet"

"You have a delightful way of thinking about things," Raz imitated his sarcastic voice. "I suppose kidnap could work," Scorpion said slowly. "But does the Crime Lord care enough about her to submit to demand?" "Her brothers do," Yager said. "I know that for a fact. Even if he doesn't care, they will do something about it."

While this conversation was going on, a small weedy man had his face pressed against the door, in his hear was a small device, it seemed to be enhancing the mumbles, an odd fear passed over him, he felt sorry for the men trying to take down the crimelord. He run off into the distance, ready to relay the news.

Yager took off his blue glasses and rubbed his eyes. He sat down in a chair next to an old desk and put his feet up on it. "Don't make to much noise I need to sleep" He yawned and closed his eyes. "Yager..." Raz asked. Yager grunted in reply. "Do you have anywhere better to sleep?"Raz continued. Yager opened an eye and looked at him then slowly closed it again without saying a word.

Raz sighed and turned back to Scorpion. Scorpion watched him silently. He looked as though he was about to cry, he thought solemnly. "Even if we do kidnap her," Raz said finally, his voice trembling. "What good will it do?" "It exposes her brothers," Scorpion said thoughtfully, "and taking them out is one more step to taking him out, I suppose."

A Tall weedy man stepped out of the gold elevator and walked nervously as he headed to the large double doors at the end of the corridor. The corridor had numerous places that were in shadow and the man had long since learned he could still be attacked by his own team. He stopped at the doors and took a deep breath then pushed them both open and walked in.
He entered a large room with a gigantic bath which was more like a swimming pool. It had various small islands with palm trees and other tropical plants growing on them. The man headed over to one of the corners where a man reclined in the bath while being fed grapes by numerous women. The man in the bath glanced up at the weedy man and went back to grinning lecherously at the women.
"So Smiler what was so important that you thought you could distrub me breaking another of the deadly sins?" The man in the bath asked. "I'm sorry Lucius, sir, but this couldn't wait. I have just learnt of a plot to kidnap your sister" Smiler said in a depressing tone. Lucius stopped and looked back up at Smiler with much more seriousness. "Do you know of their plan?" "No, they have yet to work out the details. I know where they are staying and they would probably easily dispatched, although I am not certain of it but one of them maybe Yager. His voice...sounded different but I believe it was him" "I see...Take twenty men and one of the Numbers" "One of the numbers? Do you really think we need to use those assassins?" "If Yager is there then yes. He has a knack of surviving. Take number 7, she hasn't been out in awhile. Now go before you can ruin my bath even more"
Smiler scuttled away to carry out his orders.
