From the city's hierarchy's apparent need for heightened security, The Dark Side of Academy City arose. Officially, that city's defense is supplied by that of the volunteer police force, Anti-Skill, but, with the massive acceleration of technology within the city of science, and the ever increasing power of it's Esper population, they would soon prove to not be enough. The Dark Side of Academy City rose to fill the gap that they left. Or at least, that was how it started. Originally consisting of a variety of people being hired by the higher-ups and facilities of the city to provide additional security, this 'Dark Side' quickly spiraled into something completely different. People formed groups, groups formed goals, security evolved into private armies, what was orginally meant to defend the city soon turned into a hive of criminal activity. From individuals with esper powers and special abilities, to failed students or persons who are selected for a specific purpose, this darker half contained all the people that it was meant to hold back.
But, of course, that wasn't all there was to it.
Of the groups that rose amongst the Darkness, there were a rare few who took on a purpose similar to it's original intent. GROUP who existed in the underworld, working to defend the mainstream society, and ITEM who monitored the upper echelons of the Academy City. And, in their wake, yet another faction has arisen.
SERPENT.
To ensure the long life of the city. To crush anything that threatens it, whether it be external, or internal. Whether it be an invasive parasite, or a cancerous tumor. That, is the purpose of SERPENT. You, have been picked from that gutter that is the Dark Side of Academy City to take part in this group, serving as one of the core five members that it will be built around. Should you chose to accept, your life, of course, will be put at risk, in time you will even have a target painted on your back so large that you won't even be able to spend your hours off duty without fear of a bullet to your back. The work will be grueling, and we are sure that you will have to face opponents you would never expect to so much as meet, let alone pit yourself against in battle. But. Whether it's for the sake of protecting the city's people, it's scientific progress, or just fulfilling your own greed, SERPENT will meet your expectations.
So, will accept this invitation of ours?

So, WELCOME!
As you may have guessed this is going to be an RP based in the Raildex universe, and will follow a small group of SIX characters, working amongst the darkness of Academy City. As such, there will ONLY BE SIX CHARACTER SLOTS OPEN, at least initially, so even if I tagged you, I CAN NOT GUARANTEE YOUR ACCEPTANCE.
The RP will be of a sub-detailed level, requiring at least two four to five line paragraphs per post.
The RP will take place within the Light Novel Universe. The only difference between this and the Anime Universe is that the Silent Party Arc never took place.
As this takes place within the canon universe, and not an alternative one, YOU MAY NOT PLAY AS A LEVEL FIVE.
You will be able to play as a Magician, should you so desire. But, Magicians can not make up the majority of SERPENT.
If you have any questions, please ask below.
