this feels like the end
Nothing But Thieves
overview.
Ordinary life for seven college students was obliterated the moment a mysterious holoscreen prompt asked: Which class will offer you the best chance of survival in an apocalyptic world?
With only seconds to decide their fate, these seven strangers are forced to unwittingly join forces and compete for the ultimate prize where the winner gets to remake the world in their image.
With the outside world on the brink of collapse, these [un]lucky souls must use their newfound powers to fight against fearsome monsters, complete quests, and satisfy the only clear condition of this fucked up game: surivive.

Warrior
open
Generally, the Warrior is somebody who knows how to use their fists and melee weapons well. They know combat drills, are good soldiers and are a cut above the typical conscript; they are also formidable on their own or when supporting a larger force. They do not (usually) lust for combat, but are not cowards when it finds them.
Subclasses include: Fighter, Berserker, Paladin, Barbarian
Rogue
open
Rogues rely on skill, stealth, and their foes’ vulnerabilities to get the upper hand in any situation. They have a knack for finding the solution to just about any problem. They demonstrate a resourcefulness and versatility that is the cornerstone of any successful party. Rogues have many features in common, including their emphasis on perfecting their skills, their precise and deadly approach to combat, and their increasingly quick reflexes. But different rogues steer those talents in varying directions. Your choice of subclass is a reflection of your focus and your preferred techniques.
Subclasses include: Thief, Assassin, Ninja
Gunslinger
closed
Gunslingers can handle long range weapons better than any other class type. They have unusually good eyesight and as such are keen lookouts and snipers. But they are dogshit in close quarters hand-to-hand combat. It is important to note that as the game progresses finding ammo and working guns will become more difficult. It’s in the Gunslinger’s best interest to choose their shots wisely. Of course, guns are not the only long range weapons and bows or throwing objects work just as well.
Gunslingers can share attributes/skills from the Warrior Class or Rogue Class.
1 person only
Magician
closed
Magicians are wielders of magic and come in various forms. No wielder has the same mastery over different types of magic, which forces the Magician Class to focus on one or two magic niches. Spells are volatile and require great concentration to cast. Spells that backfire can be deadly to the wielder and/or those around them.
Subclasses include: Wizard, Cleric, Druid
Alchemist
closed
Alchemists take the magic out of ‘magician’, their entire skillset is based on chemistry, biology, and botany. They are experts at combining reagents to produce mystical effects. Alchemists use their creations to give life and to leech it away. They are powerful healers and their potions can apply buffs as well as debuffs. At low levels, 9/10 times they have no idea what effects their experimental elixirs will have until someone drinks it. If given enough time to analyze a potion, however, the alchemist can recreate it and deduce its purpose.
Alchemists can share attributes/skills with Rogue Class or Magician Class.
1 person
Beastmaster
closed
Has a unique affinity for animals, and other beast type monsters, and can communicate with them as well as command them depending on skill level and type of beast. Typically they work alongside an animal companion and are fearsome fighters. Beastmasters have a medium resistance to magic and are not known for their charisma amongst people.
Beastmasters can share skills/attributes with the Warrior Class and Rogue Class.
1 person
Necromancer
closed
Necromancers explore the cosmic forces of life, death, and undeath. They can command the dead and raise them in the form of skeletons. The number of minions they can have under their control depends on the Necromancer’s level and skillset. On their own, they are relatively useless in combat and as such, depend on their minions for protection and to deal major damage.
Necromancers can share skills/attributes with the Magician Class.

activity and hiatus.
Ideally, I’d like for members to be as active as possible. Of course life tends to get in the way and things happen. That being said, a post once a week is all that’s required. After a week of inactivity a warning will be sent, and the player will have 72hrs to make an IC post. Failure to notify the GM of departure from the rp or inability to post will require the player to reapply with a new character.
If you know that you’re going to be absent for a length of time, please let me know, and your absence will be excused for however long you need. If you have to step away for longer than two months I cannot and will not guarantee your character's well-being.
application and character limits.
You can only make one character at a time. This is non-negotiable*. However, you have free reign and creativity over NPCs so long as the reality of the game isn't broken. If you decide to do this please read the Lore and ask questions if you aren't sure of something. The RP can start with four(4) player characters but a full cast would require seven(7). Quality is valued more than quantity. If you get bored with a character you can always kill them off. Please make sure your characters are diverse. Real life is multifaceted and everyone is completely different from one another.
I would prefer characters sheets to contain realistic photos or concept art, if you can find a little pixel character to match--bonus!--but it's not required. If you don't want to include an image and would prefer to write your character description that's okay too as long as it's detailed. Gifs are not necessary, but they are encouraged. The gifs must be of your character’s face claim or a faceless gif.
You are not required to use BBCode for your character applications as long as it contains the necessary information. If you want to use the same one as me, the spoiler with the code will be in the Character Sheet thread.
*If all classes are not filled within two weeks, you may request to make another character. I might also be convinced to allow someone to play a character who hasn't chosen a class card during the first round, but you will have to eventually pick a class though it could be one not listed here.*
content.
This is a mature, literate rp. Cussing and mature content (graphic murder scenes or anything of the like that doesn’t go against rpn rules) is allowed. For that reason, only members who are 18+ are eligible to participate. Sorry, but not sorry. On that note, if your post contains references or depictions of self-harm, sexual violence, or anything else that could be triggering please include a warning at the top.
One-liners are prohibited, as are two and three liners (unless writing for an NPC). I’m not asking for you to write a novella, though that is certainly welcome, just give your fellow role-players something that they can respond to. Don't be afraid to advance the story!!
Grammar/spelling/punctuation/capitalization/etc. needs to be legible and easy to understand. If you’re new to writing English please don’t feel intimidated by that last sentence, you are welcome to join.
interactions and posts.
Be inclusive and make sure to interact with everyone at some point. No one likes to feel left out. OOC drama or harassment is not allowed. If someone has issues with someone else, deal with it on your own time and keep it out of the rp. If need be, ask me for assistance and I will handle it. IC drama is, however, allowed and encouraged. Just make sure to be respectful of each other out of character.
Additionally I would prefer to have our OOC chatter in discord. The server link should be in this post, but please let me know if it doesn't work. There will be some 'administrator' announcements, a Player Guidebook, and the item shop/roulette wheel in the server.
Although I did not tag it as a subgenre, for folks like me who are hopeless romantics, Romance between characters is allowed and enouraged. But please do not make it the whole point of your character's existence. I don't want it to saturate the plot entirely.
You are not required to use BBCode to make your posts pretty. If you want to but don't know how I have a couple basic layouts I made that I can share, or you can check the BBCode Center for freebies.
I haven't decided if we should use dice or not for combat. I really like the idea of keeping to the spirit of a DnD campiagn and the dice would add an element of randomness to it. For that reason I know for a fact that I would like us to use dice rolls for the roulette wheel in the item shops. What do you guys think?
things to keep in mind.
This is a high stakes roleplay.
RNG for item drops and roulette spins will not always be good.
Characters can and will die.
Sometimes the best option for survival might be to run...or hide.
When submitting your application, please include your character's favorite song to prove you have read and understood the rules.
