Well, first off I want to say sorry for my long absence. Apparently I was in a coma >.>
Yeah...I dont even know what happened...
Oh well, I wanted to start one of these. This might be more of a story than a rp, but hey, I think it's a good idea.
___________________________________________
The nobles call it The Slums. The crown calls it an unfortunate part of society. We call it home. It is Kantun, the outskirts of the royal city, Kanvranth. Where the below-nobles suffer. Of course, to us it isn't suffering. It's merely life. We have to fight to survive, or steal, or plunder, or cheat, or lie. That's the philosophy we Kannies live by.
However, not many others see the necessity.
*******
THE ROYAL COUNCIL
"It needs to be destroyed, burned for all I care."
"The inhabitants are all criminals. They degrade Our Magesty's...magesty!"
"It's a necessary part of life. Without the lower class, we would not survive..."
*******
With the last note being the wisest, the King allowed Kantun to continue. He placed "schools" where childern under 12 were required to attend. They were held in the humble temples on the outskirts of the lowest nobles and the highest Kannies. They had a free breakfast, mandatory, and warm in the winter. Sadly, that was the only food that some of the kids saw all day.
The teenagers that are clever, leave their homes where their mothers either sell their bodies for money intentionally or are forced too, and their fathers usually don't exist. They run the streets. Some find reasonable jobs and live like the rest of the normal Kannies; from payday to payday. Others however...
We are the true Kannies. We use deceit and theft to get what we want. However, we don't do it out of greed, only necessity. We feel we deserve a day off once in a while. We dare to dream of something better than a life of hard labor, sacrifice and no break. We live where we want, survive how we chose. We are the people who walk by you that you don't see.
There are:
Assassins: This is the organized guild. They are skillfully trained by the secret organization. They are regularly imployed by angry, jealous, vindictive, or politcally drunk nobles wanting the get rid of a rival or ex-lovers quietly or (if they pay extra) painfully.
*There are a few rogue asassins but they rarely ever survive because the guild hunts them down and rids Kantun of them quickly.
**The Asassins Lord is getting old, and looking for a sucessor to take his place as overlord of all asassins.
Thieves This group of people usually consists of younger Kannies. They are very skillful at the "lift-n-lay" which is a difficult form of pick-pocketing.
*There are a very few thieves who are called "roof walkers." They are usually richer because they walk the roofs of the wealthy stealing jewelery and other pleasantries that can be melted down or changed until they are unrecognizable. However, this field is far more risky.
**There use to be a theives guild but the members were so cunning and untrusting it soon fell apart.
Other: Anything else can be here, commoner, farmer, mercenary, etc.
Okay guys, nothing to serious.
Rules:
1. Start off with a character bio. Just start off how I do.
2. No super powers. No powers at all in fact.
3. I want this to be as true as it can, so it may be a graphic, but nothing out of control.
4. I want there to be some kind of turn order, so the order will be decided by who adds the bio first, second, and so forth.
