BATTLE ANGEL

“BLOOD BOUNTIES”

This game will take place in a highly futuristic and dystopian city known to all syply as Scrapyard City.  A world which exists below the floating city of Tiphares.  Thisfloating city is anchored to the ground by huge cables, which also serve as supply tubes. These tubes are extremely durable and have security measures to keep people from climbing up.  No one from the scrapyard is allowd access to the point that all aircraft are banned.  Tiphares is a city of mystery.  No one knows what lays up in the floating city because they are denied access

Scrapyard City is a sprawling expanse of buildings and other structures centered around a massive scrap heap directly below Tiphares. The mountain of garbage lies below a hole in the center of Tiphares where the city dumps thier trash, causing it to rain down on what once was the tower that originally connected to Tiphares.   {Just imagine the 7th level below Midgar in FF7 and you've pretty much got the picture.}

Now, the heap consisting of garbage and broken machinery get ejected from the floating city of Tiphares which are reused by the citizens of Scapyard City to build everything from homes to vehicles.  The people of Tiphares make sure that no one from the scrapyard ever has a chance to enter the floating city.  For example, air travel within close proximity to Tiphares (this includes both man made objects and animal life) is prohibited. Anything that breaches this particular law is shot down by the city's defense system. For this reason, there are no birds in the Scrapyard. 

In scrapyard City they're are two major power holders. One is 'The Factory' which rules to protect the intrests and needs of Tipharas which range from basic comodities such as food that are supplied from the factories below, all the way to unamed items only found on the black market.  Many citizens choose to work for The Factory in the hopes of one day going to Tipharas, because any attempt to reach the floating city is met with extreem consiquences.    Many citizens make an effort to stay as far away from 'The Factory' as possible because no-one really knows it's true objectives. 

The second Power holders are the Hunter Warriors.  Symply put they are bounty hunters who protect the citizens from the evils of the city, and make decent money off it at the same time.

The Scrapyard reflects the cyberpunk ethos, as well as Kishiro's portrayal of a society without values. Many inhabitants became cyborgs working for the factories, some are victims of organ theft which brings good money on the black market.  Especially spineal chords which is the one bodypart cybernetic docters cannotbuild mechanical replacements for.  Ironically though, technology has come so far that a human can be brought back to life even if all that remains of him is his brain which can be transfered...for a fee of course.  While others use cybernetics to enhance their physical abilities whether it be for fighting at the colliseum, playing motor ball, or for hunting down humans to steal thier organs, or to get a the high that comes from eating a human brain.   

Fights erupt spontaneously on the streets. Violent criminals lurk in shadowy alleyways and through the tremendous extent of the sewers. Public entertainment is of a violent nature; Motorball's fusion of racing gladiatorial combat is a prime example. These are condoned by the factory to pacify and distract the denizens of the Scrapyard. Interestingly, these are broadcast to Tiphares as well suggesting a darker nature to the Tiphareans.


You will play a character who is looking to become a Hunter Warrior.  Hunter-warriors are the enforcers of Factory Law in the Scrapyard, since there is no actual police force. These mercenaries respond to "wanted" notices posted by the Factory via netmen.  Factory forces will sometimes assist Hunter-Warriors, although this only when a class A offense has been committed.

Battle Angel - Full Movie - English Dubbed


To make a character include the following.

Name:

Age:  Must be older than 18 and under 80 unless you are an automiton......life expectancy is 160

physiology: 

choose from

"Normal human"


"bio-mechanical human"' A heavily mechanized human with so many mechanical augmentations they only seem half human.


"Augmented human" Lightly mechanised human. 'arm leg' 



"Cyborgs" A human brain which controlls a purely mechanical body.


"Automaton"  Mechanised body with an AI computerised brain. 


Concerning cyborgs an automitons there are sub catagories

Battle Borg:  A cyborg built for pure combat with heavy and ridgid machinery, this would make  the character look inhuman.


Replicant:  An automiton brain chip placed into a human type mechanical form.


Synthetics:  An Automiton or human that has lost his or her original body that exists in a artificially created body made of synthetic living tissue.  Synthetic organic bodies are often more powerful than a normal human body with all the perks of being human


Appearence:
'Please include a image.  id perfer something more than a simple tek tek avatar but if that all you can find its ok.'

Main physical trait:  strength, stealth, social..ect

Knowedge trait:  Computers, blades, guns, vehicles...ect  I will inform you of the benifits privatly once chosen

Personality:

Hunting syle:  Holy fighter 'non-lethal' Compassionate fighter "kills only when nessisary" The ripper 'all will die, including any civilian that gets in your way.   and the list goes on.  Also include fighting style.

History: 
'only one character can be from the floating city if they want but his character will have amneisia and have to write thier history after they fell to the scrapyard.  write why they became a hunter, what drives them...money, fame? adventure?

Hunter Equipment:  Misc tools that aid in hunting.  Ex: vial of healing nanites, glider wings, cameleon cloak, piston boost legs, circuitry tatoos for boosted attributes 'very popular'

Weoponry: 
'projectile weopons are illegal and rare.  Each character may have one general pistol, lazer, shotgun...but nothing fancy unless it is thier only weapon.  but you can have a simple projectile weopon and still have normal weopons

If you choose a gun and a blade keep in mind NOTHING is mass produced.  blade users guns are basic and can only fire simple bullets that have to be hand made after finding or buying thhe proper material. all guns are costly and these basic ones come with a kit to make the bullets you use. 

HOWEVER, if the characters weopon is only a gun, then things are different.  Thier pistols were custom made by mecanics who specialise in projectile weopon making specially calibrated to the players movements and reations.  Inside these pistols is a smart chip that cyborgs, automitons can access using a data plug.  This will double your acuract and reaction time but also double the cost.  these players can also have various special features including ammo which is made by your dealer and sold to you.
"All items you choose willl be totaled up and be deducted from your starting chips  "Money...164 C= $164' which will be given later.  taking a social phisical trait will always help lower prices through charm, intimidation or negotiation

For the most part only melee weopons are used in the scrap yard as well as specific forms of hand to hand combat using.   Explosives are also a no no, unless they are not explosive.  For instansive smoke bombs, sonic bombs, flash bombs, adhesive bombs would be ok.
also be creative. for example, a character in the movie has a hammer with a rocket booster on the back that he activates for extra thrust and power.

your armor can also have special features.

Nice to meet you, Chainsaw. 

All my slots for freeform are filled right now, but I wanted to say that you've chosen an excellent topic and I highly recommend this manga and anime. 

[ChainsawAdams]

Curious, do you think James Camerons "Dark Angel" was inspired by this manga?  After all he did buy the rights to making this into a movie in the future
