Hiya!
This will be the first role play post that I have created, so I hope this doesn't die out too soon. Character sheets can be posted below, along with questions and whatnot.
Lore
The year is set in the late 2030's, when the government began experimenting on humans once more for military purposes. The previous attempts failed terribly. This time, however, they tried to mix the DNA of humans and animals to make the 'perfect' batch of soldiers. Did it work? Yes. They would be called triflepaws.
Anthropomorphic beings were ready for the front-lines, but they never made it. Many humans protested against the use of animals for the sake of their military, causing the government to shut down the whole program. The humanized animals were allowed by the government to live in regular human society, but at the expense of their reputation. They were thought of as beasts, and were constantly discriminated. In modern slang, they were referred to as 'furs'.
They had trouble finding jobs and good housing. There was a city, however, called The Shield-neck. It was in the northern part of the country. The South region of the area was where the most crime happened, usually between triflepaws. Because this area wasn't managed as better as the other regions were, triflepaws found it easy to find housing and jobs here. Poorly managed apartment buildings were what many triflepaws called home, despite the streets being littered with gangs.
Rules
1. You may only have one character, to keep the group small. About 8 applicants will be selected for the first chapter. NPC's may be controlled, within reason, but I may control some of the ones you interact with.
2. Be friendly, and do not godmod.
3. This post is strictly OOC only. All participants will be informed when the IC sheet is up.
Affiliations
Citizen- You live in The Shield-neck as a normal, law-abiding citizen. In the South or in a different region, you co-exist with the triflepaws. If you're a human, you live a much easier life. As a triflepaw, you face discrimination on a daily basis by humans, and should avoid joining or being near criminal activity...the government looks for any reason to lock you up and get rid of you.
Criminal- You live the life of a criminal. Crime is what you live for! You can either be involved in a gang, reside in prison, or look for trouble on a day to day basis, avoiding law enforcement. Some triflepaws in the South are involved in gangs, and usually look to bother humans that wander their way. Some reside in buildings that are poorly managed, sometimes reeking of drug labs. Usually gangs are filled with triflepaws and humans, but humans tend to be on lower ranks while triflepaws are on top.
The Law- You are the law. You patrol the streets looking to capture criminals that happen to come your way. As a human, the government has informed you that you will always have more control over triflepaws, no matter what rank you are. You are to keep them in check. As a triflepaw, you are treated lower than recruits, and are stuck with the lowest of tasks. This usually involves cleaning the toilets after lunch breaks. You have to work extra hard so you can have the privilege of patrol duty.
