Underworld (OOC) (Open!!)

[Heisenbeagle]

Ok, so I literally just joined this wonderful-looking community but all I know is that I need a furry crime RP in my life ASAP!

Scenario/Setting:
So I'm thinking something along the lines of Breaking Bad or Black Lagoon, but with furries! Normal people (er, animals) gradually getting wrapped up in the criminal underworld. Mafias, gangs, cartels, drug empires, all sorts of nasty rings. The setting would be urban. Maybe NYC, maybe Detroit, maybe a nondescript American town, maybe a fictional city, I don't really care but I'd love to discuss any ideas anyone has! I don't want any fantasy stuff though, outside of the talking animals of course. Let's keep it nice and gritty, like a noir.

Rules:
I'm sure you guys are mature, you know all the basics. Don't be a jerk, write as best you can, all of that jazz! Probably shouldn't join this if you've never been in an RP like this before.

My character bio:
Name: Jason
Age: 18
Sex/Gender: Male
Species: Mutt
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 110 lbs
Occupation: Waiter
Personality: Gentle, cute, sensitive, emotional, innocent (for now)
Attire: Black beanie, black headphones, navy sweatshirt, black sweatpants, black tennis shoes
Background: Jason is an unremarkable young man perfectly content with living the rest of his life on minimum wage, far too lazy and without any aspiration to go beyond dead-end service jobs. His obedience and vague extroversion contribute to this. Fortunately for him, his parents haven't been exasperated by his wasted potential yet, even though he's mere months from graduation and still with no future in sight.

How dark are you thinking?  Black Lagoon got PRETTY dark. 


Just need to know for how I'd be playing any character types if I join.  Don't want to accidentally drop a paragon in when it'd be more fun to play a no holds barred bad guy.

That's probably the most complex thing we could discuss. I'd like it to be dark but not gratuitous. Breaking Bad got gratuitous with its body disposal scene and Black Lagoon got gratuitous with the rape scene and Hensel and Gretal (in my opinion). I'd personally like to have little to no straight up shock value like that, but I wouldn't really care if someone did it. Hardcore baddies are always fun though. I definitely still want it to have a lot of levity also. Furries are naturally fun and sweet, it'd be jarring to have it be 100% grimdark.

[Aldrea945]

Yeah, know the feeling on the gratuity.  Plus, it'd push the rules pretty hard.

Name: Wiska Kerdy ("Whisker")

Age: 26

Sex/Gender: Female

Species: Maned Wolf

Height: 5'7"

Weight: 86 lb (Very slender, little muscle)

Occupation: Pickpocket, spy, hired hand, whatever suits her best for a situation.  Never works a job with ties.

Personality: Personable with a distance, cunning, quiet, runs solo.  Cruel, but not within sight and only when it won't come back to bite her. She likes the thrill of getting something illegal, but skirts the fight.  Works a scene like a car salesman - you'll never remember the face that sold that lemon, but you'll miss the money they took.  Might not even get the right name.


Attire: Black shirts, cargo pants, light but sturdy boots when she's working.  Short belted dresses and gladiator sandals when in leisure time.  Hats only when required.

Background: Whisker doesn't care to talk about the past, and when she does, the story might be a story to string a customer along - or string them up.  She works back alley deals for easy cash, and doesn't care much for territory.  She's not messy, though.  She'll do her business - trading knockoff watches, moving cargo from boss to boss, making someone disappear - and walk away without leaving prints.  Better hold that purse close.  You'll never see it disappear.

[Aldrea945]

I'd actually love to start this up and push some interest, if you are interested still.

[Wilco Whiteheart]

This seems quite cool, might join when able.

[Aldrea945]

So if no one minds, I'm gonna work up a starter post.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

This RP seems interesting. Never knew I wanted to participate in a noir RP until now.

Name: Shinzuu Katame
Age: 32
Sex/Gender: Male
Species: Wolf-tiger hybrid
Height: 6'11"
Weight: 250
Occupation: Unemployed
Personality: Not one to mince words and doesn't like wasting time with useless talk. Really doesn't care what people think and is always straight to the point and blunt. While he never shows it, he is a big softy, even when he is being an absolute asshole.

Attire:Black military BD's, a tank top and wears a brown, leather jacket if it's cold outside.

Background: A military veteran that was medically discharged after falling into a deep depression when his wife and child were murdered in their home while he was deployed overseas. Outside of daily visits to the firing range, he mainly sulks at home, either polishing his 9mm Beretta or lifting weights to push his thoughts out of his head. He sold his home after his discharge and lives in one of the inner-city apartments, getting regular checks from the government on a weekly basis.

THIS IS A PLACEHOLDER POST
WILL CREATE A SHEET WHEN POSSIBLE

[Nova Starpaws]

Since this is more criminal oriented, would it be okay if I was a cop?

Also when it said underworld, I thought it was the mythological underworld. =3

[Hunter568]

Hey, is this actually going to launch eventually? I see the first post was back in june. If it is happening, here's a character sheet because I'd love to join.

Name: Hunter Karloff
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Species: Red Wolf
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 200 lbs
Occupation: Paperboy
Personality: Withdrawn and quiet, somewhat introverted and prefers being alone.
Attire: Typically wears a faded green hoodie and jeans.
Background: Hunter once had a promising academic career and high hopes of attending university and studying law, but ended up dropping out of high school to work full time and take care of his sick uncle (who was his only guardian). He's highly motivated, but financially struggling and frustrated with his situation and his own wasted potential.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

I didn't even get a confirmation if we've been accepted into the RP or not.

[Hunter568]

Yeah, and it looks like Heisenbeagle hasn't been active since October. I don't know if they're coming back anytime soon.

Maybe we could make a new thread? I really like this RP idea.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Yeah, it's definitely a nice one. Give me a day or two. I'll create one, and I'll PM you the link.
