“Them” Act One: “Rebellion” Scene One
This roleplay is the premiere of the “Them” series, which will have groups of RP’s split into “Acts” with each RP being a “Scene”, every scene has its own full story. Please see our discord server for OOC talk and further info, (Please message my discord account “Sir Benedict Cucumberpatch” to get the link.)
Sign-ups will be open until Thursday, November 14th, and the RP will start the following Friday. All of Act one will be locked to only those who sign up before the closing date, although there will be smaller RP’s to participate in as well. Any reserved characters that do not have their application posted by the 14th will have their spots unreserved for others to take.
Premise
It would be a normal day for you all, whether you were fighting villains or managing an apple pie shop or just existing, everything was normal. Until something peculiar occurs, you would catch a glimpse of two people in suits out of the corner of your eye ...then darkness.
You wake up in a large, elaborate hotel room of sorts...your surroundings creating a strong essence of luxury, class, and style. The rooms all have a black and gold art deco design, with matching baroque themed furniture and a grand chandelier above the bed...what’s going on? Where are you? That’s for you to find out, maybe the card on the bed labeled "Them" might help.

8. Pay your taxes, don't die, and have fun!
Mechanics
This RP is going to have an RPG style but with its own, "Them" flare. Every character will have an "account" that will be monitored and updated by our Archive Department. If you have any questions at all about your accounts, please contact me or the Archive Department.
Part One: Archive Access
.Characters can use their phones to scan anything in their surroundings and learn more about it using the digital “Them” archives. You have unlimited scans except for when you scan “Something of Interest” You have three times to scan something of interest, (The Phone will ask you firsthand if you wish to scan said interesting item.) After you use all three interest scans you will have a cooldown period of three posts until they refill. And who knows, maybe the archives can help you learn something important...
Part Two: Bank System
.Manage your own little fortune that might give you advantages in certain situations!
Every Character gets a bank account that will have a starting amount of $1,000. They will be able to use their phones to deposit cash which will slowly grow over time. They may also take loans at any time, but the loans come with a price...the characters will get a call randomly to ask for the payment back. If the character doesn’t have the money an item will be taken out of their inventory.
Part Three: Company Upgrade Points
.Use to upgrade gear and unlock special items!
Depending on how well you perform in the RP, you will receive company upgrade points that you can use to get higher ranks in the RP, (One rank up costs 100 Upgrade Points) the better the rank, the better the stuff in the shop. You can also use the points to upgrade gear and items.
Part Four: Buy, Sell, and Upgrade!
.Characters will be able to buy and sell items at certain locations. These locations will be stationed across the RP in multiple little shops, there will also be a permanent shop at “Them” HQ, you will be able to use your money to buy weapons, armor, and other nifty things, you can also sell items to gain more funds! These shops are also where you can upgrade items.
