$TREET LIFE

a s.o.l. roleplay

I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go

There's a dodgy neighborhood in downtown Los Angeles, overrun with gangs, thugs, crooks, and a staggering homeless population.

This is Skid Row.

A place where glitzy dreams of Hollywood go to die for those who couldn't hack it in show business. Then there are the folks who were born in this concrete jungle and lack the means to escape to greener pastures, instead just learning how to survive under the constant threat of violence, lure of addiction, and the exploitation that runs rampant in the area. And, of course, you have the more unscrupulous types who embrace this treacherous world and even manage to thrive in it, using their well-honed street smarts to make their way.

Wherever they come from, whatever they need to do to survive, the everyday heroes of Skid Row persevere. They seek solace in the glimmers of humanity that pierce through the bleakness, finding strength within themselves and their relationships.

the setting

This is a slice of life roleplay that will take place in a fictionalized version of Los Angeles, California. More specifically, a stretch of about 50 square blocks just east of Downtown LA called Central City East, otherwise known as Skid Row.

the cast

Characters can be any age, although 13+ would probably work best for most of the in-character action and general subject matter. As this is a crime-ridden area terrorized by gangs and a pesky Russian mafia presence, assorted criminals, hustlers, street walkers, and drug dealers are very much welcome! But we'd also love to see regular, law-abiding citizens just trying to get by and earn a buck at whatever profession you can come up with.

This is a predominantly low income community, and its residents should, for the most part, reflect that. However, there are plenty of more affluent areas (Hollywood, Santa Monica, Los Feliz, Beverly Hills, etc.) right around the corner, so middle class or wealthy characters are great too! Just as long as they find some reason to wander into the less gentrified part of town sometimes.

expectactions

We're going for a gritty SOL, sandbox style RP, and we need mature, active, and experienced writers to help us bring it to life!

rules ...

01

Your friendly neighborhood GMs are tamarapasek and qwertycakes - if you have any questions, please feel free to ask us!

02

Absolutely no bullying or bigotry will be tolerated. Diverse and LGBT characters are very much welcome!

03

If you prefer to avoid references to drug use, drinking, strong language, and other mature themes then this roleplay is not for you. Likewise, when dark topics inevitably arise, they are to be handled sensitively and appropriately. All RPN rules apply here.

04

This is a literary group, absolutely no one-liners in official posts. Please have at least 2-3 paragraphs, including decent grammar.

05

We ask that you comment on this thread to express your interest, and we'll send you a Discord link. Only join if you are comfortable with using Discord. The RP itself will be hosted here on RPN, but all of our community discussions, planning, and plotting will take place on Discord. For this reason, Discord is mandatory.

Realistic faceclaims or descriptions only, please.

Join us, we've got gangs, mafia, failed actors, sleazy producers, gutter kids, Hollywood party gatecrashers, and a hapless group of ghosthunters bumbling around rickety old buildings! Just to name a few--

 

[monxmiracle]

I am vaguely interested, have a couple of OCs that could fit in this setting

 

[Qwertycakes]

Could use a few more active writers! (Or at least fairly active--we're a chill group)
