Dalmaska
In the lands of Easn lay a castle so magnificent that from afar, it seems like a fort of heaven. The grasslands around it are so green that it seemed surreal. The lakes and hills around are so picturesque that it is impossible to not be awed by them.
This is Dalmaska, a dream city and a city of dreams.
You are a citizen of this bizarrely marvellous city, and you are not happy at all.
Why?
At the head of the political hierarchy is a tyrant. This is one tyrant unrivalled in terms of tyranny. He rules over Dalmaska and he rules over you.
You are not happy – at all.
What will you do then?
Will you resist, or will you desist?
Reality is a prison…
…
There you have it. There are many role plays running, but most of them appear to already be quite deep in already… Kinda leaves me with lesser choice than I’d like to have…
Thus this role-play; variety’s the word.
Dalmaska is a modern city that mirrors our own. However, people seemed to have grasped the importance of environmental friendliness, and have created technology that leaves behind little to no carbon footprint. All this, on top of the fact that everything looks otherwise similar to existing technology of today; and also the existence of laser as a weapon, as well as satellite lasers as the new ‘nuke’ of the day.
By ‘tyrant’, I mean that he literally bosses everyone around him, and he explicitly uses his money, which came from taxes that your character pays, to fund his life. He is also renowned for his rather underhanded actions during the presidential elections. Consequently, there are few political parties, or independent politicians, that exist in the political sphere.
There is, however, the ‘Resistance’, which is essentially an underground society against this tyrant. Do note that the Resistance does engage in terrorist tactics like blowing up subways or basically blowing things up - though at least they don’t use ‘suicide’ bombing.
Please notice also that their bombings, somehow, has never hurt a single person in Dalmaska.
Please also note that security in Dalmaska is not tight at all.
Your characters should be against the tyrant and either:
- In the Resistance
- Related to the Resistance
- Not against the Resistance
A rough skeleton of the character bio here for your convenience:
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Occupation: (Students acceptable)
Family size: (Please… No orphans. Your character’s family should play a role in this role play)
Skills: (From the mundane to the paranormal – like telekinesis and the like. I may or may not accept them depending on the turn out. Avoid the latter though, I’d recommend.)
History: (Story time)
Likes:
Dislikes:
Alignment: (For the Resistance? In the Resistance? Or a Neutral with no ill feelings for the Resistance?)
…
I probably won’t need a lot of players for this one, maybe a maximum of five. However, participating players should be literate. I won’t stand for too many generic grammatical errors or spelling errors.
Hopefully, as detailed as possible. Be like a novelist!
Also, all your characters will inevitably die at the end of this role play. Be warned.
EDITED (9/4/11):
That, and I'll so love to have more players... You're free to express interest and put a character bio up for consideration. At the moment, there are only three characters: one from me, and two from Tipsy.

It’s all a conundrum.
Bear that in mind.
