"With lies and deceit, a new truth is born.".

Hello, everyone. I bid you all welcome to the latest installment in the A Game Of Chance RP series! Since Infinite Paragon's (semi-?) retirement, Crystal Glacia and I have been doing quite a bit of planning in regards to this RP alongside our very busy personal lives, and we can't wait to get this ball rolling!

Now, this installment is going to be much like the first of the series; a fresh start, a clean slate. In regards to continuity, this little puppy's going to be taking place long before the first two. Because of this, a little research into the period may be required when creating your character or interacting with the environs. However, the period chosen just seemed absolutely perfect for this game.

So, with that, let's get this show on the road! To get to a particular section, simply Ctrl+F or Command+F.

I. SYNOPSIS

It's June, 1926; The Roaring '20s, a time of changes, vice, gangsters, and jazz. Sure, there's Prohibition, but the speakeasies help you get around that. Point is, the economy and general quality of life have skyrocketed, life is good, and it ain't ever going to change!. However, is that really the truth?

You, along with twelve others, wake up in an abandoned speakeasy in the middle of Chicago with no memories of your pasts. In your pockets (or purse) are a few assorted items: a trinket that will become your namesake, a small notepad a wallet loaded to the brim with amounts of money not thought possible, two scraps of paper - one with the name of an Apostle of Jesus and another with an unknown phone number scrawled onto it in rather atrocious handwriting, and a beautifully ornate ring*

with an inscription and jewel on it. In addition, you find that you have what seems to be an unremovable collar around your neck.

Suddenly, the radio - formerly assumed broken - switches on, and a female voice rather smugly announces to you and your compatriots that you have 30 days to kill one other person in this room, your target, who is marked by the ring they bear. Fail to do so within the time limit, and the collar explodes. Try to leave the city, and your collar explodes. Try to acquire a firearm, your collar explodes. Really, your best chance of survival is to play her little game. And if you do, you'll certainly be rewarded, with both your memories. . . And another little surprise.

But are you willing to take that chance?

Your tormenter has given you some mercy. With each ring comes the power of one of Jesus's Apostales. With time, your powers will grow and develop, aiding you in your endeavors. However, it is impossible to survive if you're working alone. To survive, you'll need allies, friends, maybe even more. But of course, you never know who may be out for your blood. . .

With your powers, individual talents, and connections, you may just be able to get out of this alive. But can you truly cope with the consequences of your actions?

II. WHAT WE EXPECT

Now, for any newcomers out there, I wish to clarify one thing: despite the premise being death and killing, it is not what you'll be doing most of the time. A good majority of the time, you will be socializing with your fellow contestants. As stated, survival is impossible without allies, and you really don't want to piss everyone off. Twelve angry people with superpowers coming at you is generally a hindrance to your survival.

That said, we usually like full, thought-out posts. You don't have to write a novel, but we expect some meat, something to chew on. We like to see the thoughts of the character. We like to know what they're doing and how they're doing it. Course, there's no written rule against one-liners, but they don't give others much to play off of. However, as mentioned, we do not expect nor do we encourage "novels," also referred to as "HOLY BABY CHINCHILLAS THAT'S A LONG POST." Overly-long posts tend to fall victim to tl;dr, and from prior experience tends to grind the RP to a halt as players try to figure out how to respond to that mess. The one exception is if your character is alone and reflecting on his or herself and identity or something. I personally love reading long and thought-out personal reflections. But I do not like responding to 1000+ actions. And neither do other RPers. In regards to overall presentation, it should be clear that we expect legible grammar and spelling in your posts. If anything, think of this as more of a collaborative writing effort than your typical RP.

We expect people to be creative in what they do and how they do things. We really want this to be fun, not boring; hence why some of the powers are kind of oddball or nonspecific. We like to see players think outside the box with powers; in fact, the most seemingly useless powers are often the most versatile and the quirkiest and most original characters the most memorable.

Activity. We expect all of our players to be fairly active to keep this RP going. If you are going to be absent for an extended period of time, or are dropping out, for the love of kittens PLEASE let us know in the SERIES DISCUSSION THREAD. We've had a terrible time with this in the past, and it can seriously screw up both the players and the GMs. We don't like mass-PM'ing people to find out if they're still in, the players don't like waiting in limbo for a response, potential replacement players don't like to be kept in limbo as to whether they can now enter or not, and none of us like it when the RP dies. So do us all a favor and keep everyone informed. Be aware that this is a very writing-intensive RP that requires a lot of activity. If you think you may not be able to accommodate to that, think a little bit before joining.

Last but DEFINITELY not least, we expect EXCEPTIONAL behavior from all of those participating in this RP. One of the best things about my whole experience with this RP are the wonderful and creative people I've had the honor of meeting and writing with. We all like to be friends here, and I don't think any of us want one bad apple spoiling the bunch. If there is a dispute about whatever's going on in the RP, please settle it civilly in the Discussion Thread with the GMs and other players. There is no need for shouting, name-calling, vulgarity, or other such childish nonsense and such behavior will have you issued a warning. Personal*

disputes between players should be settled via PM, though if it escalates into threats or to the point where one player is beginning to feel overly uncomfortable or threatened by the situation, site mods should be notified and upon review of the conflict the GMs will decide whether to permanently blacklist the offending party. We don't expect you to act like you're at the Queen's home, but we expect general courtesy and respect for your fellow players.

III. MEET THE GMS

It should be rather obvious by this point, but I, Motree, am serving as primary GM this time around. I will be overseeing the RP and keep it going. In addition, I alone will possess knowledge of all identities and powers, and thus am probably the first person to go to if you're unsure about something. I am not the type to yell at or criticize another for lack of understanding or a simple mistake. In addition, my word is pretty much law, though I'm rather easygoing about this and will really only resort to supreme authority if someone is really pissing everyone else off. On that note, if you actually manage to tick everyone off enough or have activity issues so severe that they hinder other players, I have the right to kick you from the current RP or outright blacklist you from the series entirely. Generally, I don't mind wackiness, Rule of Funny, Rule of Cool or going slightly Off the Rails providing it amuses me. In the past, I've let people get away with some pretty outrageous stuff.

In addition to the above mentioned, I am also, at the moment, solely responsible for NPC's.

The second main GM is Crystal Glacia, who will also be playing as a contestant. Her main duties consist of being timekeeper for the RP and enforcing the rules. She does not know others' rings or targets, but can still help if you're having difficulty figuring something out. I've known her for around 11 years now, and I can tell you that most of the time she's a fair and reasonable person. She's also a lot more responsible than I am and will keep me reined in if I'm letting you guys get away with a little too much. In addition, I would like to mention she is a lot more blunt than I am, and while I'm likely to be very soft and "mom-like" when I'm telling you you're doing something wrong, she's more likely to just say it straight to your face. So, don't mistake her bluntness for meanness. Trust me, it's not.

Lastly, I would like to cover how things would boil down should one of us be unavailable for any reason, we will have substitute GMs to keep things under control.

Overall, treat us all with respect, and we will do the same for you. None of us are bad or mean people, and we all are here to help you all and provide you with a fun and unique RP experience. Our experience with this has been nothing but remarkable, and we hope to bring that same experience to all of you here.

IV. TIME

One of the major elements of the RP is the time limit the players have to meet their objective. One thing new players continually get confused about is the passage of time and how it is implemented, and so, I have created a section to address how it is maintained.

One thing I would like to clarify right off the bat is this: you have 30 in-game days to accomplish your task, not 30 days in real life. The in-game clock and calendar is maintained by Crystal Glacia, and her alone. If you are unsure about the time in the RP, confirm it with her. Do not guess, as that has a tendency to cause a lot of the confusion with the players, with one person claiming it's midday whilst another claims it is morning. Just let her handle time, and it keeps things running so much more smoothly.

On that note, I would also like to add that this RP does have a tendency towards pacing issues. While we had a 100 posts = 1 day formula in the original A Game Of Chance, it quickly became clear that wasn't sufficient. Last around, we were a little too lax on time, which ended up drawing out three days or so to about 200 pages. So this time, we're aiming for more of a "happy medium". In general, it would be a good idea to limit your character to one major event per day, so that things don't drag on forever. With luck, this will keep everything running smoothly and avoid falling into monotony.

As a final note, I would like to inform everyone that the passage of time is and will always relate to pacing, and will adjust accordingly. Likewise, depending on how things are going in the RP, the time limit may be shortened or extended to accommodate.

V. RINGS, TARGETS, AND POWERS

Unlike previous installments, which have featured tarot cards as the empowered artifacts and items branding the characters, this installment features rings, fitting in with the Gilded Age of the 20's. Each ring has the name of one of the Apostles of Jesus engraved onto it, and it is this item that will provide you with your powers, as well as mark you as the target of another. These are instrumental to your success.

You will not know the actual identity of your target, only their Apostle. Once you kill them, you can take their ring and gain a slightly weaker version of their power, but only when they are dead. Successfully eliminating your hunter will yield the same effect. But remember: You never know who they may be.

Powers between the characters will vary, and are really the only weapons you will need in the RP. When using powers, the overall strength runs inverse to the amount of control the individual has over it, though these ratios will even out as the character practices using them. However, the true strength of there powers depends on how they're used, or what other powers they're used with. Even the weakest or most seemingly-useless ability can become deceptively deadly when the user thinks outside the box. For example, someone with aquakineses that's had a lot of practice could craft makeshift shrapnel grenades using their water and bottles, or use their powers to dehydrate opponents. Someone with the ability to summon knives could work in tandem with someone with telekinesis to launch the knives as high-speed projectiles. Overall, the trick to success is ingenuity and teamwork.

Before the start of the RP, I will individually PM each player with his/her Apostle, power, and their target. Your Apostle and target are to be kept secret from other players. However, there will become a time where you need need or to share your information with another. It's inevitable; at some point, it will become open knowledge. We have some regulations on this. Information between a few select people is to be done via PM, and NOT to be done OOC - there needs to be some indication in your actual post that your characters are sharing information. This helps me keep tabs on who knows what, and who's working together, and helps to discourage cheating. Note that any information your character gives to another can be shared with anyone else they choose. They're not at fault if you decided to trust them. However, cheaters - people using information they know or obtained OOC to further their own ends - will be treated with either a warning or a kick depending on the severity.

VI. RULES

Kay, down to the dirty business.

  • General forum rules apply
  • Apostles and targets are not to be shared OOC
  • Keep most OOC discussion to the Discussion Thread
  • No godmodding or autohitting
  • Do not try to control another person's character. Do not assume. The only person who knows what the character will do is their player.
  • The Discussion Thread can be used for casual conversation, but not for malicious gossip or inappropriate subjects. If a player feels uncomfortable about a discussion topic, stop.
  • Time and day transitions are to be maintained by Crystal Glacia only.
  • Be kind to fellow players.
  • Romantic and sexual relationships are allowed between characters. However, vivid descriptions of graphic, sexual scenes will result in an automatic kick, as well as a report to the mods. Though this RP is far from being safe for minors, we like to maintain at least some level of class and some players may not be comfortable with such material. Use a Sexy Discretion Shot instead. Please.
  • Generally, we don't mind things getting outrageous or going into awkward territory. However, before you do something off the wall, ask yourself whether the GMs or players might have a qualm with it. If so, either ask or don't do it.

VII. WARNINGS, DROPPING, KICKING, AND BLACKLISTING

I feel it is necessary to explain discipline guidelines this time around. As the series grows, so does the pool of people playing. While we have generally not had any problems with this sort of thing before, it never hurts to be safe just in case something pops up. In addition, I'd like to cover how things will go should someone drop.

First of all , the subject of dropping. Unfortunately, chances are someone's going to drop out somewhere down the line. Should this happen, their character will be killed off Behind the Black and someone else from the waiting list's character will replace them. However, should you wish to drop, you must put up some form of notification on the Discussion Thread, and the GMs will handle everything from there.

As for discipline, it's rather simple. While minor infractions of the rules or small goof-ups will usually only yield correction from the GMs, repeated or semi-severe offenses will have an official warning issued to the offending player. Three warnings will result in the player being kicked from the current RP and replaced. Severe offenses may result in an automatic kick. Extended inactivity without notification will result in a kick. Multiple kicks or very severe infractions will lead to a player being Blacklisted. Blacklisted players will no longer be permitted to participate in any RP related to the A Game Of Chance series, unless their status is repealed by a GM. Blacklisting is generally reserved for either the most severe of infractions, such as repeated player harassment, or other special cases. We currently have only one Blacklisted player, thankfully due to more of an activity-related issue, and we sincerely hope that the list doesn't expand.

In the event that you receive a warning, kick, or are Blacklisted, you are free to plead your case to myself or Crystal Glacia. Depending on how you testify, the severity of the offense, and whether or not we believe you're being earnest, we may revoke any negative status tied to you.

VIII. CHARACTER CREATION GUIDE

This section is meant to help any non-author RPers, newbies, or anyone that needs help creating a character that fits with the setting. As the setting for this RP is Chicago in the 1920's, the characters you create need to be made with this in mind, particularly in their clothes and appearance. In addition, the rest of the world was in a very different state than America, so foreign characters need to be created with this in mind as well. Crystal Glacia has been kind enough to provide an ongoing list of things people did and did not have, wear, or do in 1926.

As for the actual character: though they are amnesiac, they still have a past. Even a very vague idea as to what their past was like can help with determining their personalities, skills, trinket, or actions. Oftentimes, it helps to base their personalities on someone you know.

IX. CHARACTER SHEET TEMPLATE

  • Trinket: (A random trinket your character has with them. Can be anything non-lethal that can fit in their pocket or hand.)
  • Nickname: (The name they will be known by, derived from their trinket)
  • Appearance: (Doesn't have to be too elaborate; you can just provide the basics.)
  • Apparent Age: (How old do they look?)
  • Gender: (I hope this is self-explanatory)
  • Personality: (What are they like? How do they act?)
  • Other: (Skills/habits/health concerns/whatever else feels needs mentioning)

For reference, here's my signup. I'll post up a separate discussion thread for AGoL later, because I intended the other thread to be for general, non-specific things.

  • Trinket: An intricately engraved antique pocketknife.
  • Nickname: Asimi Translation
  • Appearance: A dark-haired young man with a Greek-sounding accent and Perma-Stubble. He dresses in black, form-covering clothes and gloves- even though it's summer -to hide the unreadable, tattooed script that covers and wraps around his body. Has a slightly muscular build and tanned, rough skin, and wears a trench watch. You know, for my own timekeeping purposes.
  • Apparent Age: Late twenties/early thirties
  • Gender: Male
  • Personality: Drinks, smokes, and is good at hiding from the police, but otherwise keeps to himself. Cynical and generally apathetic, but if given an objective and convinced to care about it, he'll follow it to a tee. Due to those traits and his extensive tattoos, he gets hassled by police frequently. Takes a while for him to warm up to those he considers friends. Is far friendlier and more talkative when intoxicated.
  • Other: Hates children; finds them whiny and blindly manipulative. Has a phobia of cars because he's afraid that their use of gasoline will cause them to explode. Also a bit of a gourmet and will usually put any spending money he has towards a nice meal.

  • Trinket: A switchblade (Which I won't use in combat; it's merely something that fits his traitor nature. If it's not okay, I'll find something else. Hell, I'll propably will in order to make his hidden personality less obvious.)
  • Nickname: Flick
  • Appearance: Flick is a caucasian man well in his thirties. He has blonde hair, blue eyes and is about six ft. (1.82 m.) tall. He likes to dress in standard clothing in order to seem more "normal", and per extension easier to trust.
  • Apparent Age: Somewhere around 34-36 years old.
  • Gender: Male
  • Personality: Very manipulative and completely untrustworthy, although you wouldn't say this from his appearance and act. He's able to play just about any act neccesary to get what he wants and get on people's good side, just to stab them in the back later when this would promote his own position. He's not Chaotic Stupid * though, and won't betray someone when there's a good chance that it'll backfire on him. (Note that said "good chance" is calculated based on Flick's knowledge, not the actual facts.)
  • Other: (May add some later when I have more time/inspiration)

Don't worry about his backstabbing/acting; I won't use any Oo C knowledge.

On a related note: Are you allowed to use knowledge your character didn't hear first-hand if you can get to said information with logic? For example: Alice is talking to Bob and reveals a big secret. Sometime after, Bob takes off and reveals said info to Claire, who then goes after Alice. Though Alice never actually saw Bob's traitorous actions, it speaks for itself that he must've told Claire, since nobody else could.

KSPAM and Stratofarius have been listed as "pending". If several others are interested and have signups prepared and ready before you do, I may end up accepting them should I feel you are taking too long.

CG (obviously) and neobullseye accepted.

@ neobullseye: So long as we see the character in question's thoughts in the narration, and see how they logically reached that conclusion, then yes. That's fine.

@neopie: So long as we get a general idea, we're good. "Typical" is fine, though you should describe their physical features.

  • Trinket: A valuable-looking yellow gemstone
  • Nickname: Rock
  • Appearance: Tall and gangly, giving an almost 'stretched out' appearance. Caucasian with black hair. Wears a business suit with a hat.
  • Apparent Age: Late 20's
  • Gender: Male
  • Personality: Cheerful and friendly and all times, often to the point to dissonance. Has a near-premenant smile that tends to make those around him uncomfortable. Appears to be taking the idea of the situation being a game a tad too much to heart, as he doesn't seem to be taking it as seriously as he probably should be. However, there is clearly a sly mind lurking underneath his too-happy exterior.

That's a compliment, by the way. Me gusta.

  • Trinket: A Lincoln Park Police Badge; it has a pin in back to attach through a shirt, but it's too dull to, like, stab anyone.
  • Nickname: Sheriff
  • Appearance: A large man approaching middle age, with prominent laugh lines; the wrinkles on his forehead are horizontal, not vertical. His eyes are big and blue and honest-looking. Sheriff has a rather prominent nose and a thick, bushy brown moustache to match his thinning hair. He stands a few inches over six feet, and is very thickset and muscled. He at least starts the game in a big thick grey coat over a comfortable pinstriped suit with loafers.
  • Apparent Age: 35
  • Gender: M
  • Personality: Okay, I'll be frank: Sheriff is the Anti-Dean. He enjoys cuteness and innocence of all kinds, with a very low resistance to Cuteness Proximity, and respects women as paragons of virtue. He's pretty confident, both of himself and others. He trusts people, and is completely genre blind. He takes everything at face value, trusting that his openly declared trust in others will make them either trust him or feel guilty as hell for lying to him. He views himself as being a good guy, that moral high ground is prized above all.

  • Nickname: Ace
  • Appearance: Short, tan skin. Hair's a little long, dark and wavy. She's got a cute little babyface, which she hates. Just starting to grow into her body. Firm legs. She likes to wear sweaters and skirts, with nice running sneakers.
  • Apparent Age: 15-16
  • Gender: Female
  • Personality: Ace was a newsgirl before, and as such, is a girl raised on the streets. She's crude, immature, and picky. She can be loud and annoying too. She likes to have fun and spend her time doing things girls her age really shouldn't be doing. She understands the kind of power that comes from being a girl, but gets annoyed when she can't abuse it because of her age. She loves to take risks and gamble. Money is one of her few loves, along with good times and close friends.
  • Other: Good at assessing risks, and projecting her voice. Also a good runner and climber. Parkour stuff.

  • Appearance: About six feet, with an average frame yet generally good-looking features. His accent is typical of the Mid-west, but he can otherwise blend in with the local Chicago Outfit. Not that he wants to.
  • Apparent Age: 16
  • Gender: Male
  • Personality: One thing he wants is control. Not the "take-over-the-world" control. Just "I-want-everything-under-control" control. He wants to know what's going on, and he wants to make sure everything goes in the direction that doesn't lead to chaos or stupidity. He steps back if the situation isn't worth spilling milk over, but he doesn't like being the follower.
    As a result, he tends to be critical and even a bit cold. Despite his behavior, he passionately cares for whoever he's trying to help. People close to him tend to see the warmer part of him that wiling to have fun. However there's a point when it becomes like babysitting and he can't take any more of it, but without his memories, he doesn't know that threshold—yet. All he knows that a plucky girl will most likely lead him over it, and then some.
    Oh, and while he considers himself a rational person, he relies more on his gut. Even if that gut points him to what looks suicidal. But in a lot of cases, he trusts it—even if it does lead to a suicidal situation.
  • Other: Has decent knowledge in woodworking, and a couple of sports.

EDIT: Is it me, or our the contestants older this time around?

[up][up]I totally forgot to add something about that! Added a single sentence in his personality to accommodate such a thing.

[up][up][up] Hmm. . . Accepted, though I would like it if you could explain the nickname to me a bit.

[up][up] Accepted, though i now have the sudden urge to see Redd and Blue go at it in a fistfight.

[up] Ffffffyes. I will proceed to bust a gut if he's Dean's great-great-grandpa or something.

Eh, changed to Ace.

Also, I have a book of slang categorized by the era. I will be using every term in the book before this is over :3

[up] Noted and changed. And while the dictionary of 1920's slang isn't required, it definitely made a part of me go "Hellyeah!"

[up][up][up][up] I think in general, yeah. Though Saturn and CG's are actually younger.

Would a child of about ten be acceptable?
