 This is the real world.

 Your characters no longer inhabit Nirn, but modern-day Earth as we know it.

 This change of setting has altered them to fit this revised reality. Not only are they of the human race and no longer have access to real magic, but their professions and backstories have been radically changed as well.

 How they have adapted to the real world and the new dangers it contains is up to you.

 This world will be largely open to you, free for any plotlines that you wish to follow. However, there is an overarching plot that you can choose whether or not to take part in.

 Your characters inhabit a city known as 'Imperial City.' Unless given special permission, most of the action will be confined to there.

 The co-GM is Laz

 Have fun! :D



Rules to Follow!

1. Use only characters that are from previous RPs, such as a character from the Burned-Mane RPs.

2. Please, keep the TES stuff to a minimum. For example, Dunmer and Argonians and all those other races don't exist here. Convert them to their real-world counterparts, if you could, like how Dunmer are meant to be vaguely 'Oriental-inspired.' Similarly, take magic out of the equation.

3. Unless given special permission, avoid leaving the city. Thanks babes.

4. Laz and I are GMs, so if we give a decision on something, our word is law.

5. Avoid the use of meta-gaming, such as having your character know something that they should have no knowledge of. You have been warned...

6. You cannot kill or maim another player's characters unless they agree to it or have been absent for a great period of time.

7. Please, give your character a backstory that makes sense in the context of our world. For example, no ridiculous stories like 'she was born out of an experiment by a mad genius and has superpowers.'

8. Your character can be from anywhere in the world, just give them a valid reason to be in the city at this time.

9. You can take control of any NPC (and create your own) so long as no one else is using them at the time.

10. Make a character card each time you introduce a main character you'll be using.

11. You can have any profession, except for the position of Mayor or Deputy Mayor. Similarly, if someone has already taken a position that there is only one of (ex: Police Chief), you cannot have that profession.

12. Have fun! :D

Description of the City

The Imperial City is built around a river, the Little Tiber, in one of the more temperate areas of the United States. The fact that it is bordered on one side by mountains (from which the river springs) and the ocean on the other makes it a highly sought-after tourist spot, especially given the fact that the Summerset Islands, a luxury resort, lies just off the coast. It is one of the largest cities around, boasting a many large skyscrapers.

The residential areas of the city are split into four sections, inside one of which your character will live:

The Neighborhood: The most poor section of the city, the Neighborhood is akin to the slums of any other large city. It boasts a high amount of gang activity, andits residents are in constant fear of being murdered or robbed.

Septim Square: The largest residential area in the entire city, Septim Square is inhabited by many of the middle-class people. There are a few houses, but it is mostly comprised of aparments and condo-buildings. Most of the workers in the city live there. The Mob controls most of the Square.

Black Falls: Black Falls is the largest and most prominent of the Imperial City suburban areas. It is entirely self-sufficient, with its own police force, own parks and water sources. It is, however, protected by the police force of Imperial City. Unfortunately for the 'perfect picture' it tries to present to everyone, Black Falls has the highest number of drug-related deaths of any of the residential areas.

Uptown: Settled in the midst of all of the skyscrapers and tall towers is Uptown. It is comprised entirely of penthouses and high rises, and is thus known as the 'playland of the rich.'

There are a few important places to remember, should you have need of them.

Summerset Coffee: The most popular coffee chain in the city was developed specifically for Imperial City by the Summerset Company, which produces many of the luxury goods found in the city. Summerset Coffees can be found all over, even in Black Falls.

Summerset Tower: The tallest skyscraper in the city is the headquarters of the Summerset Company, and it employs nearly 20% of the city in all of its endeavors. It is located in the center of Uptown.

Washington Park: The largest park around is built on the banks of the Little Tiber river, complete with a wooded area, a duck pond, and a zoo all in the center of the city. If you need to hide a body, you know where to go!

The Twist: The Twist is the most popular club and bar in the entire city, complete with open mic nights, raves, and many other events that the citizens enjoy. Unfortunately, however, the Police are frequently being called down there, due to shootings, rapes, and other crimes of that nature. Still, it remains a hot spot.

St. Barbara's: The largest Religious building in the whole city possesses a soup kitchen, health-care facility, and orphanage

Imperial City Docks: The docks of the Imperial City are frequented by luxury yachts, shipping boats, and other such vehicles of the water. The Docks are completely under the control of the Mob, and its workers refuse to talk to the police regarding any crime.

Imperial City Police Station: With the exception of a few crooked cops, the ICPD is one of the most highly-regarded in the country. It has a rather up-to-date facility, that helps the cops to solve many crimes, from cyber attacks to homicides.

Highland Mall: The largest shopping complex in the city is located on the center street of the city, only a few blocks down from City Hall.
