The Heart of a Red City: Revolt of the Machines | Science Fiction | Open for Any

[WaylaidWayward]

^{The city had a name once. Now, it is Mars.}

Mars is undergoing a revolution, one that has left debris and bodies. Filled to the brim with technology, many of its machines have spontaneously gained sentience. Many debates have gone nowhere about the rights of machines and the ethics of work. However, what cannot be denied is that something must change as a mob of revolutionaries prepared to storm a robotics factory.

Who am I?
The following are the characters I'm willing to play, as well as any NPCs that might be needed to progress the stories. Accompanying them are possible prompts and a small piece of their personality. For specifics of who I am, here is a link to my O&O's.

Remus Novinov — A Callous and Spiteful Spokesperson
^{"It's about time these fake-men got a taste of their own medicine."}
These machines have been troublesome and not just for business. They've halted everything because they just can't be patient for legislation, so drastic measures must be taken to stop this particular factory from being destroyed. Are you one of the hired that Remus acquired, preparing for the fight of your life? Are you a secret traitor looking for one good moment "remove" him?

Amelia Welton — A Sacrificial and Optimistic Revolutionary
^{"There's going to be blood. Lucky most of us here don't have any."}
Within the mechanical mob are humans willing to aid the effort to blow open the doors and capture the factory. They are angry too. Among them is Amelia ready to run forward with rifle in hand and a grin on her face. Are you there to stop her before it's too late? Are you going to secretly betray her at the apex of the revolution?

NOVA — A Heartfelt and Melancholy Warmachine
^{"I cannot stop them, but I can ease the pain."}
Only thing bigger than this enormous machine filled with rockets, grenades, lasers, and bullets, would be its metaphorical heart. Will you help it in evacuating the people inside of the robotics factory? Are you going to push it to join its mechanical brethren?

What do I expect?
I am very flexible. Do you want to play a system with this? Give me a little bit to read up on it and I can hop in. Want to try your hand at leading the revolt and I lead the factory defenses? Let me give you some information about what you have at your disposal. If possible, I look to your post history and attempt to divine some sort of style to fit your previous posts unless you're looking to do something incredibly new.

As an aside, considering the current situation for this particular story, I'd be amazed if there was smut. Not that it's impossible, just more that it'd very improbable and somewhat impressive.

But, what I very much do expect at a minimum is communication, some activity, and contributing storytelling. What I mean by each goes as follows:

• Communication. If you need to drop out, have to take a break for a month, don't like something that's happening, or would like to help me world build and come up with more plot to add to the pot, then absolutely do not hesitate to send me a message. This is supposed to be a place where people can have some fun.
• Activity. Unless I'm informed, I'm assuming that after a week of no communication, that you've left the thread hanging and I'm safe to lock up the thread and resolve the roleplay.
• Storytelling. I adore when people add their own passions to the mix. Don't be afraid to pitch ideas or events that you'd like to explore during the roleplay or to me directly.

If you have any questions, want to show your interest, or feel like I should've just stuck to rolling dice, feel free to send me a message or post on this thread!
