This is sort of an old RP from another forum; I wanted to test it out again since it never really lived that long despite the amount of interesting there, so I've decided to try and see how many people are interested on this forum--
~*~*~
Welcome to the city of Connero! A city in Japan blocked off from the rest of the world, without the law or politics. However, there is something else here. A game called 'Death Game'. The city strives on this game, every participant wearing at least one dog tag, where it's visible to everyone else. This is a place where people end up for many different reasons, being it that they're convincts, trying to make cash, have a lust for blood or are even just... bored. You see, the winner of this game gets a grand prize in cash, or whatever else they desire, but it's not as simple as it sounds. The participants must fight each other, in a duel to the death and collect each others dog tags. Anything goes, as long as no firearms are involved. There are rules you see, and if you do not follow the rules, men called Executioners will find you, and do as their name implies...
Executioners are also in charge or clean up, and patroling.
There are safe zones. Places like bars or restaurants, for shop and drinks. In these places, fighting is prohibited and if you are caught you will be executed.
Each participant is given 11 dog tags from the start. Let me brief you on this.
There are 3 types of tags.
1. Is a silver dog tag, of no specific design. These are called, kill tags. Players start with one of these.
2. There are smaller, golden tags. These are used for currency. You can buy many things.... food, water, medical suppies, or even a safe place to rest. They are called shop tags. Players start with ten of these. Things can be pricy however.
And the third and final, is a rare tag. It is a mix of both silver and gold, and has an intricate design on the front. There is only one that exists, but you need it to reach the top.... and at least 50 kill tags.
Rules on the fights!If you take someones tag without killing them under almost any circumstances, you will be executed. The only exception to this rule is if someone lets their back fully touch the ground, they lose and you may take the tags. Just remember, they may come to find you.
Do NOT take tags off of bodies that someone else killed. This is considered cheating, and if you are caught you will be executed.
Executioners are free from the rules, and are on constant patrol. They generally do as they please.
Some info on the Shop tags? You start out with ten of these. The only ways to get them is to take them from another person, or to exchange them for real money, however it is pricey. It's 3 dollars, for one shop tag, but in a place like this, it is safe to assume that only the tags will be accepted as currency for anything else. While it is possible to find a safe place to rest with shop tags, it might not be entirely safe. However, rest spots, at LEAST tend to be around 100 shop tags, or more, depending who you are buying from. Most people will tell you that NO WHERE is safe, not even the safe zones themselves.
Once you reach the top, having 50 kill tags, and the rare tag, you may fight number one... and if you beat number one, you win whatever you desire. In order to do this, you have to go to the registration building and talk to the receptionist. Be warned of the security, as well as the executioners as this same building is also 'home' to many of them.
The man who created the game, is number one... but only the people that work for him know this, and he is quite the skilled fighter despite his appearance. One might even call him immortal.

Okay, so? Confused? If you are, I'll do my best to try to explain it better? Got questions? Ask away.

-Not up yet-
Basically this rp is just as it says.
Now for the rp rules.
1. No godmodding!
2. Do not kill someone elses character without
permission! I understand killing is the point of this, but you still have to stick to the rules.
3. Which leads me to the next very important rule. Keep it turn based and also do not make assumed hits. In turn, also do not avoid every attack. Constant dodging is also a form of godmodding, and our characters are
not gods.
4. Violence is most likely going to be heavy, and romance IS allowed (most would think it wouldn't suit in this situation, but you'd be surprised) but if the romance gets too much take it to PM.
5. Remember that the rules in the rp are not nessecarily the rp rules, meaning they can be broken... just remember that you have to deal with the consequences.
6. If you stop posting for 2 weeks, and don't respond to pms, your character will be killed off or taken. All you have to do is post your absence here in the planning thread or OOC! Or even if you're stuck and can't figure out a post, TELL US here! (In turn, if I need to post or if you have posted feel free to speak to me)
7. All characters human please (I may make a few exceptions), with the exception of the Executioners (though I still encourage humans) and Number One (who should be generally stronger then ordinary people anyway)
8. Three or four sentences in a post! No one liners! I will make an exception every once in a while if someone is having a hard time or something, but I won't make too many exceptions....
And lastly, this isn't really a rule but I encourage everyone to make more then one character (though you don't have to), having at least one you'd be willing to maybe sacrifice. It could be more fun this way considering the nature of this rp, however things still need to be turn based, and people still need permission. If you like, plan things out through PM.
Also, anyone may make NPCs to kill off, or to have others killed off. Just don't jump to 50 kill tags instantly.
