Title: Real Life Rpg Not About Rich People?


Techberries - June 22, 2008 01:58 AM (GMT)
Genre: Real-life
Difficulty: Intermediate/Advanced
Type(s) of Creature(s): Humans
Preferred Rating: Anything below NC-17 is fine by me.
Preferred Number of Members/Activity: Active
Preferred Time where RPG is set in: Anything!

Other Notes: As long as it's not centered around the elite/rich and the stereotypical Beverly Hills/Upper East Side it's fine by me. I've been on so many of those already because of the popular CW shows and it's getting kind of tiring.

Take a look at LJ? We're a very active and friendly real life rpg being a town/hs rpg. We deal with real issues and not that silly hollywood/gossip girl storyline. We'd love to have you!





A small town with about 8,000 good hard working Southern folk in it. Football Nights are like a religious holiday here. The girls pretty themselves up for a wild night of partying and sex every Tuesday and Thursday. When Monday rolls around, the kids are caught skipping to hang out at Montana’s or City Limits. Sometimes, the braver ones dare to go to McDowell’s Hole.

Twenty years ago, a program was re-introduced into Little Jimmy's perfect world. Honky Tonk Angels. An association where they took young high school students who had found themselves in trouble with the law and the harsher ways of life out of NYC into the country. There the students were placed with foster families for the year as they worked with the kids to straighten out their lives. The program still thrives today with the children of the original lifers and angels. Unfortunately much like the Little Rock, Arkansas disaster some of the folks in Little Jimmy aren't so...

Welcoming. The older families in town aren’t so welcoming towards the newcomers as some nasty words have been flying back and forth. It seems the town’s secrets of racism and prejudice seem to be leaking out at every turn. A team of low-end FBI agents has come to Little Jimmy in hopes of keeping the peace. However, can years of hatred and prejudice slip away like the wind? Or will relationships be tested and lines crossed?

Maybe have a look at Gaimen City, link below in my banner. It's an adult, alternate-reality crime rpg, centered in a fictional city. No stereotypical Beverley Hills types!

How about hella-poor Bohemians? We got those. In abundance :) We started in Rent fandom, post canon, but in the past two years, we've developed into an RL game based in New York which happens to have the canons from that fandom running about. . . You don't need to know a thing about the musical or the movie, since the characters are just characters, nothing more. We're grown up, decent writers, and friendly as can be. Have a look. The banner in my sig's the link.

You're living in America at the end of the millennia. . . and you're not alone.
Alphabet City
We're in the year 1996 and the colorful residents of the East Village in Manhattan are facing the issues which challenge poor Bohemian artists in the mid-90s. Drug abuse, HIV, prostitution, starvation, death, life, and love. However, they find that they aren't alone, friends are all around, and there is always coffee to be drunk, issues to be discussed, and art to be created, good and otherwise. Come join our cast of canon and original characters, featuring a strong sense of community and creativity and find that you're not alone either.
Other notes:Based on the Broadway musical RENT, set post-canon, though slightly AU to keep Angel alive. We have evolved and changed over the past two years from a fandom RP to a RL RP with some fandom characters.  We are lucky to have a great group of OCs who are keeping the plot moving and changing quickly, and we always welcome new writers and OCs with open arms.   
We also have a brand new board!  It's pretty and blue and still has that new board smell!!  Come see.  It's pwetty!!!

At this very moment, there are nearly 7 billion lives being led today.
That is 7 billion lifestyles, thoughts, breaths, decisions, plans, mistakes, and hearts.
It is impossible to keep track of every second of every life and every death, but we can try.

toronto, canada.
The Church and Wellesley neighborhood is one of Canada’s most vibrant communities. Because of it's diverse atmosphere, the neighborhood draws in a fair share of activity and has a growing number of residents. As with any community, it is both a struggle and a pleasure to call it home. Though, the general message, one that you'll pick up on almost instantly, is no matter where you're from, or how you happened upon Church and Wellesley, you're welcomed. It's just that behavior, the indiscriminate kindness and underlying sense of safety, that has drew in so many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender residents. Needless to say, it's a welcomed place to just be yourself, despite sexuality, and never have to worry about what the next person has to say because, nine times out of ten, they're going through the exact same thing.

However, life isn't all rainbows, even though you my mistake it as so, considering the amount of rainbow flags, with pride, hanging up around town. There are some residents who are struggling to come to terms with who they are, and their life directions, in various ways, some which can go unnoticed without a closer look like, a person struggling with the loss of a lover after an emotionally defeating battle with a well-known illness, or a mother of a child turned down for parental rights, just because they aren't biologically related. There's even a person, one out of an overwhelming million, coming to terms with gender identity and how their outward appearance just doesn't seem to match.

Church and Wellesley is where people go to start anew and to forget old troubles. It is a community where pride is of the utmost importance, no matter what, who, or where you are. It is a community where hope springs eternal and dreams never die.

We just opened but I really believe you'd like it. it's set in Louisville Kentucky, which doesn't really have a lot of filthy rich people in it (trust me I know) and is divided slightly differently than other sites. I think it could be just what you're looking for.

CODE
[align=center][SIZE=15][b][url=http://z4.invisionfree.com/no_such_thing]no such thing as the real world[/url][/b][/SIZE]
[SIZE=7][i]its just a lie you have to rise above[/i][/SIZE][/align]

Welcome to Louisville, Kentucky; the sixteenth largest city in the United States. Located in the middle of the country, it doesn't seem to have a lot to offer. At least not in the way of beaches. However, it does have the Kentucky Derby, Thunder over Louisville (one of the largest fireworks displays in the world), a great night life, and a great variety of people.

It also has districts. The five main ones are Downtown, Old Louisville, University of Louisville, Bardstown Road, and the East End. Sure, there are others. But they don't have the je ne sais quoi the rest of the city seems to hold.

[SIZE=7][i]downtown louisville[/i][/SIZE]
Downtown Louisville is the stretch located just along the Ohio River. The skyline that you see from almost anywhere in town (except possibly the East End) is here, along with most of the best clubs. During the day, this section of town is filled with young professionals, all trying to make it in the world. Hospitals, night clubs, a nightly block party... Downtown has it all.

[SIZE=7][i]old louisville[/i][/SIZE]
Old Louisville is allegedly double the size of Monoco and it's the third largest collection of Victorian mansions in the nation. But don't let that fool you. Most of the mansions have been renovated to provide apartments for the citizens. There is no type of person you'll find here. Sure, there are a lot of college students due to it's close proximity to campus. But there are also people from every other walk of life. Entertainment wise, there are a few bars down here and a park. The eating here is pretty good though.

[SIZE=7][i]university district[/i][/SIZE]
Unfortunately, some people in Louisville are still in school. The University District not only houses the local university (University of Louisville) but the high school as well, if you happen to still be in that part of your life. Around the University is a lot of various fast food restaurants. The housing in this area is all on campus, only for college students. But that's okay, because the university district is mainly for the students of the two schools.

[SIZE=7][i]bardstown road[/i][/SIZE]
Bardstown Road is one of the most popular places in Louisville, at least for the younger set. On one very long road is pretty much anything you could imagine. There are clubs, a morgue, tons of restaurants, stores, tattoo parlors, and all the scene kids you could even dream of. While Old Louisville is like living in Greenwich Village, visiting Bardstown Road is like visiting Greenwich Village.

[SIZE=7][i]the east end[/i][/SIZE]
The East End of Louisville is pretty much the rich section of the town. The houses and apartments here cost a fair amount of money. In fact, an extravagant amount. This is one of the safest parts of Louisville, due to the fact that not that not everyone can afford to live in this area. The malls are all down here and everyone seems to be content in this area... unless you happen to want a good club night, then you're out of your element.

[SIZE=7][i]welcome to the real world[/i][/SIZE]
You've gotten a tour of the city. Now it's time to decide if you want to move to the Ville. Once you do, you'll find friends, enemies, lovers, and maybe even happiness. After all, isn't that what living is all about?

Welcome to Louisville. Welcome to real life.

down, down, down
pick me up, i'm falling...
    Detroit. Already one of the most infamous and dangerous cities in the world. One wouldn't think that it would be possible for this city to become even more so, but it has.

    For years, the Colombians, Italians, and Russians had all held a shaky truce while they attempted to take their control over the city. Each 'gang' had their own specialty and each one was trying to rub out the other in subtle ways. The Colombian Cartel ran the best drugs, the Russian Mob had the best weapons and the Italian Mafia held great power in the city government. Unfortunately, they were always at war. One man, a great and respected leader from the old days, stepped up to bring peace to the city and offered a way to make the best of their strengths and weaknesses. Together, the three leaders from the three families and the revered leader were going to turn things around at a summit meeting in downtown Detroit. What happened then, no one can honestly tell you.

    Dead.

    It was all over the news for weeks. The one that they called the Don was found dead in his hotel room the day before the meeting when all of the families and their people were in town and on edge. With such a loss to their last hope, it seems that everyone is pointing the finger at the other. The police just blamed the families and their war but the families are blaming one another. Who could have done this? The Colombians? Well, of course they want to own the drug world but what would they do with the whole city? The Russians? Americans still like democracy, thank you. The Italians? Those pasta loving morons would turn the city into some backwards third world village! So then... who?

    If you listen very carefully, you can hear it.

Las Vegas is where anything goes, and everything stays. All the secret affairs, gambling, it's where people go for time to just have 'fun'. But then, there's always cheaters to this system and sometimes, it's not always fun for everyone else.

Casino: Fatale is a Literate To Advanced roleplay forum about transparant societies underneath all the lights, and the fancy colors that Las Vegas holds. Two teams, FALCON, and RAVEN, oppose each other in pure hatred for one another, or at least, their leaders due to beliefs about the way things should be run. Main mission? To destroy one's organization before the other destroys yours. Some may think it's simple, and each group puts the main goal as 'Protecting Vegas'.

But there's more to the story than a simple fight and protect scenario. It goes into a deep history between the leaders of each team, and the original goal that both teams shared. Differences create enemies, and now you must decide on where your loyalties lie. And is what you're fighting for truely noble?

Welcome to the very lofty and prestigious Northstar Academy.

Located in the mountainous terrain of Alaska, it’s definitely far from average. After all, how many small towns have moose that get the right of way or deer eating your garden. The ever wonderful warnings of bears and how you’re not supposed to feed Romeo the wolf, though everyone does. It’s nice, peaceful town that makes going to the wondrous institute that is Northstar, a little better.

Like any other boarding school there is the problem of students discovering just how free they are around here. Sure they probably won’t go running off to some other city since they’re kind of far away, but no one ever seems ready for their first encounter with the wild. Not to mention, there’s the nasty little habit of kids sneaking off to the club and getting plastered. Missing curfew like bad little children, but that’s still rather nice compared to what goes on in the school.

Inside the sacred halls of Northstar everything is a battle. Ever since the need to divide the students up by names and place them into different houses, there have been massive problems. Perhaps it’s a nice thing that these kids show loyalty for their houses, but it’s not always so sweet and wholesome. In fact, during spirit weeks it’s sheer hell for most. Horribly into their fractions, each one seems to have this superiority complex over the other three. And most teachers look the other way being former students as well. Even still, each house has their own distinct attitude if you will.

No one seems to make as much noise as Grizzly house, though they do seem to get a certain kick out of leaving messes in Eagle house late in the night. Not that Ptarmigan and Wolf don’t help out there as well. But Ptarmigan is also fairly nice, allowing anyone into their halls for a fee. They swear it‘s to keep the vending machine they managed to obtain, well stocked. But compared to the ‘No Outsiders Allowed’ rule of Wolf, they’re down right charming. And Eagle, well, they don’t really do much although some of their students are the prime suspect for the vandalism that tends to occur in other houses.

And while not all of the students of Northstar are so attached to their houses, the other’s are what’s gained the school it’s reputation. After all, no one wants to be dumber then the idiots in Wolf House or worse at sports than those Grizzly slobs. Some say that such need to be better builds character, other’s just think it draws away from what the school should be, a school. But change doesn’t seem to be on the horizon as much as all out war between houses.

Welcome to Northstar Academy, kids. Enjoy your stay.

cape coral, florida.

and i think you need to stop following misery's lead
isn't it time you got over how fragile you are?


where white picket fences and big houses hide the real story and where you
can escape from your future, but not from your past. where the parent's
drama almost surpasses their children's, where everything looks like a dream,
but where dreamland can't exist. where the sun sparkles and the ocean
dazzles, where illusions seem like reality, and where nothing is as it seems.
this is cape coral, florida. welcome home.

we're all waiting, waiting on your supernova
cause that's who you are and you've only begun to shine.

CAN I BELIEVE WHEN I DON’T TRUST
all your theories turn to dust

    The mentally insane.

    Treated like lepers by those who claim to love them, the ones who beg them to receive treatment to correct their “bent” mental state. These so-called insane persons were, at one point of their lives, average human beings and by the standards of today’s society, considered to be sane. Then something happened. Something that caused the fine structures they built their lives around, the very foundation on which they had built their lives upon, to come crashing down around their ears with a deafening noise. Suddenly, they were no longer sane; they were a danger to society and must be treated, perhaps even cured, of their “ailments”, of their insanity - to have their sanity restored.

    But what is sanity? Is it a picture that’s been painted by the higher authorities, drilled into our heads over the last thousand years by those with careful hands and strategic minds? Or is it the way that everyone wishes the world to be? What if the insane are really the only sane beings on the planet and the ones who claim to be in the right mental state are truly lost, enveloped so deeply into the illusion cast around them that there is no way to draw them out? Is it possible that the ones who have escaped the clutches of sanity are on the right side of the line, the ones who have seen the light and tasted the glory of the real world? Or are they truly as crazy as society paints them to be? Are the insane really insane or have they just come to their true senses?

    Welcome to City of Delusion, otherwise known as Deliramenti Asylum for the Mentally Insane. Not only is it the most prestigious mental hospital in the state of Washington, but it is quickly becoming the most popular asylum in the United States, nonetheless the Western Hemisphere. Before the fire that spread throughout the hospital, claiming two of the wings and the maximum security cells, the institution was already well known. Established in 1966 by Dr. Reginald Davenport just outside the city of Seattle, Washington, the Deliramenti Asylum for the Mentally Insane started off as a rather small hospital, consisting of only twelve patients. But as the success stories of his patients grew to be known by the public, more started to pour in through the doors. Soon, grants were received and put to good use. The asylum’s fame, as well as Dr. Davenport’s, skyrocketed and continued onward until the hospital became the place it is today, consisting of three floors and an innumerable amount of wings, wards, and rooms. It was a prestigious place, having a lovely reputation for the honest and hardworking psychologists who connected with their patients, made it their life to make sure that everyone in Deliramenti received the same treatment.

    The hospital was well on its way to becoming the most recommended asylum in the United States when disaster struck. A horrible fire consumed two of the wings as well as the maximum security unit. The fire was so large, so out of control, that the entire hospital was forced to evacuate the building until the blazing fire could be extinguished. However, when the nurses and doctors were checking the roster, they noticed one very alarming thing: a good lot of the patients were missing; some of them were obviously killed in the fire, as nothing could have saved them, even if they tried, but most of the inmates managed to escape. As if the fire wasn’t the worst of their problems, it was soon discovered that almost all of the escapees were the residents of the maximum security ring, the truly twisted and deliciously insane persons who had a thirst for blood and a penchance for evil in the eyes of society.

    Only a few days after the fire, Dr. Davenport dropped dead. It seemed that his death was from the forces of nature, but the fire? Oh no, the police hired to investigate the scene soon learned that the fire was intentionally set, that it was arson. But who was the arsonist and why hadn’t the information been leaked to the press? The news of the escapees already had and panic was consuming the city of Seattle; it was no wonder why the police didn’t want that sort of information available for public knowledge - imagine the effect it would have upon the city at large! Soon, Deliramenti Asylum was back in order. Though it was chaotic, all the patients had rooms to stay in and the hospital was running as smoothly as ever. Leadership of Deliramenti passed into the experienced hands of one Dr. William Korsakov, a famed Russian psychologist who could do no wrong. He seemed like the perfect fit for the Head of the Asylum. Things continued normally: patients were admitted, treated and released like clockwork. The asylum was constantly in the headlines, which only caused their fame and their fortune to skyrocket, just as it had in the early days of the establishment.

    It has been a year since the fire tore through Deliramenti Asylum. There are still escapees on the run, using their clever albeit detached minds to evade capture. A task force has been established to help bring in the criminals. And it seems that the press and police force are just one step away from working together to solve the mystery of Deliramenti Asylum: everyone who is anyone knows that the fire was not an accident and that something needed to be done to round up all the escapees, who were continuously reeking havoc on Seattle, causing an inflation in crime. The only question that remains is how far are those of the press and police force willing to go to unlock the secrets behind the infamous Deliramenti Asylum for the Mentally Insane. Are they willing to risk their lives, their reputations, their sanity? One taste of delusion and you come back for more. Just take one step over the line, break the boundaries of sanity and cross into the CITY OF DELUSION. One taste of delusion and you come back for more.

DESTROY THIS CITY OF DELUSION
break these walls down, i will avenge.

2013.
What an unlucky number.

    "My name? Oh... it's not really safe to say now, is it? Sorry. But it's best to stay anonymous
    when you're talking about things like this; particularly as my house was broken into last week.
    I'm not feeling sorry for myself, not by far; it happened to my friend too. The crime rate started
    to shoot up here in London in about 2010 and it just kept going. The authorities can't really
    handle it. Why don't we move? Because it's the same everywhere else; London just happens to
    be where I stay. So many people are mugged near me now and there was even a murder only
    five minutes from where I stay. It's unsafe and I can't even let my kids out of the house. I mean,
    there was once a time where I could stroll down the street without clutching my kids' hands and
    holding my handbag tight to my chest in case someone should try and grab it."
Welcome to London.
Your own personal hell.
Everyone's own personal hell.

    Imagine crime shooting up to a ridiculous level. Imagine being
    afraid to walk down the street. Imagine the breaking of the law
    around you every day. Imagine the authorities losing control.
    Imagine the punk movement's utter dream and your worst nightmare.
    You my friend, are imagining 2013.
Watch out or you may end up with
BULLETS IN THE BACK.


Bullets In The Back is a hopefully successful attempt at a crime RPG
where crime actually does happen and the events actually are realistic
for the future but pretty horrific. The roleplay is advanced and we are
an originals only roleplay, believing in true freedom with characters.
We are R-rated so be sure you can handle violence. Hope to see you there!

Victoria is for the normal (well if you can call society normal) people. It's a highschool based in Victoria, CA. But you can play characters that aren't students. Like teachers or just regular members of society.

It can be active when it wants to be. It was on a short break for abit so Im about to send out an email to members telling them it's back up.

It might seem empty but that's because I cleared everything yesterday/

Interested? Intermediate/Advanced RPG, PG-13 (R with tags).

Welcome to St. Tristan's School for Girls. EXCEPT it's not just for girls anymore.
St. Tristan's has been forced to merge with a nearby all boy school Karl Emery's
Academy for Young Men. Karl Emery's hasn't been doing too well do to low
enrollment. They were forced to fire all their staff and now only the Headmaster
follows the boys to St. Tristans. St. Tristan's isn't your ordinary school for girls.
There are many quirks about this school from the girls to the Headmaster. The
girls are all very different from one another and there are many cliques, but they
all get along. The older girls might look crazy, but you haven't met the first, second
and third years yet. These girls don't want Karl Emery's to merge with them. They
want their school to stay the way it is. Karl Emery's boys aren't all different like the
girls are. They're stuck up and annoying to these girls. The only boys they really
want around are their Headmaster, Science teacher and two townies that come in
once in a while. These kids are learning some academics, but mostly they're learning
about life. That is what these teacher are there for.
