Recruiting: Down in the Gutter - Second Phase, Life in Redmond's Newest Street Gang Options

[Vegas]

Welcome to the Second Phase Recruitment Thread for Down in the Gutter (DITG), a long term gang campaign using SR 4 rules, set in 2070.

Recruiting is now CLOSED - As of 4/3/08.

DITG will chronicle the establishment, rise, and quite possibly fall of one of the countless third-tier gangs that come and go in the Redmond Barrens. The game will open to the new characters approximately one to two days after the conclusion of a spectacular gang war that rocked the Kingsgate Area of the Redmond Barrens and drastically altered the balance of power.

You will play one of the survivors of this gang warfare, now in need of a new gang to call home in order to survive to see tomorrow. You will participate in the rebuilding of the new PC gang; the October Ravens, solidify it as a presence in the Kingsgate Area, and be a part of its attempt to carve out a place to call home in one of the worst slums in Seattle.

The game will focus on life in a Barrens street gang, and everything that entails. Simple survival is a daunting task, let alone climbing up the shadow food chain. This is not a street level runner campaign. This is a story of living hand-to-mouth, trying to get by each day by taking what you need from others to survive and trying to stop them from doing the same to you. If you can not handle the very real prospect that your character may die during this campaign, this is NOT the game for you.

Our current roster of players includes 1 GM on staff (with assistants) and approximately 13 Active PCs.

Since our current roster already has one adept we will consider accepting up to 2 additional adept submissions. Our current roster also technically has two magicians, but since one of them is extremely new (i.e. he Awakened one hour before game start), we will consider accepting another magician character or mystic adept if the concept and supporting background story is sufficiently impressive. There will be NO Technomancers accepted, none at all.

We will note there are plenty of mundane character concepts available that have not been taken yet; additionally, we want to emphasize that as a gang, character creation should be less about finding a ‘niche’ that has not been taken and more about building a person that will be fun and interesting to play in a gang environment. Look over the Gang Roster on the Wiki and get a feel for your fellow gangers and where they came from as well as the major power player gangs still left in Kingsgate.

If you are interested, post your character concept only here. Once you have been given you the ‘ok’, apply for membership to the wiki and post your character in the Character Generation section for review. If you are not wiki-proficient, you can ask one of our talented wiki GMs, ES Sparky or Vegas, if they would kindly do so for you.

Since there is plenty of information available on the wiki and in the Down in the Gutter Planning Thread, we will not be recapping it all here, but if you have any questions, please post them here and we will be happy to answer them for you. We hope to see you in the game with us!
