    The Setting
    • Warwick is a city comparable to New York or London, with a thriving criminal underworld as well as the more honest folks.
    • Currently it is controlled primarily by the Aeys family (headed by Jet Aeys), but there are other families and gangs battling for control.
    • Your character may belong to one of the families (besides the Aeys family), a gang, or be an individual looking for power- or simply an everyday person trying to get by.

    General Rules
    • Death is allowed with the explicit consent of the player whose character it is.
    • You may introduce NPCs as frequently as is warranted, but any player can control any NPC.
    • Try to use good punctuation/grammar. Posts may be of a freeform length.
    • Cursing, violence, romance is allowed; anything more graphic than the standard PG-13 rating must be taken to PMs.
    • Fights are allowed but please see the rules for combat below.
    • Please feel free (and encouraged!) to create plots, relationships, etc; there's no set plot to follow.
    • Magic is allowed as long as your character isn't too overpowered; the moderators have the right to ask you to limit a character's power if they appear to be far more powerful than any (or most) other characters.
    • Be respectful to other players!! Remember that everyone is just here to have fun, and opinions expressed by characters may not be the opinions held by the player.
    • Although we've attempted to create as many areas as may be required, please feel free to create areas for your character's home or any hangout spots we might've missed. If we think there have been duplicates or unnecessary areas created we may delete them, but don't intend to!
    • Remember that OOC knowledge should be kept separate from IC knowledge; if there's no way your character could've known something, please avoid them making mention of it.
    • Please keep OOC chatter to the OOC forum (or PMs, for more private conversations), just to keep things neat!!
    • Feel free to play as multiple characters- just shoot another application in and, assuming the character's appropriate, we'll accept them. Original characters are far preferred over canon characters.
    • Although obviously we'd prefer for players to remain active, we're aware that sometimes RL gets in the way- and should take priority! If that happens, just drop a message in the OOC forum to let everyone know!

    Rules for Combat
    • Attacks must be attempted only (no auto-hits without the player of the receiving character's explicit consent).
    • Use common sense; if your character is very likely to be taking damage, have them take damage!
    • To keep things fair, in situations where a winner would not be clear (eg both participants are evenly matched), please roll a 1d20 dice to see whether a hit is landed and how powerfully it's delivered. As a general rule, a 11 or above is a successful hit (with the higher scores being better hits), 10 or below is a miss.
