OCC: This is open to anyone

The Halloween Riots are one of the most defining moments in Kulikovian history. It was the spark that ignited the revolution. A bloody revolution that would see the fall of a brutal facist regime. This is a prelude to the revolution. For decades the facist regime oppressed the people. Silenced opponents, shut down newspapers, brainwashed citizens. It was a state of fear. Unions were violently crushed, their leaders rounded up. People would disappear in the night, never to be seen again. Protests, strikes, and demonstrations spread across the nation. Bloody confrontations with the special police and military occured. A general curfew was ordered in the capital of Jonensberg. The curfew began Halloween day and no one was permitted outside after dusk. Two innocent children wandered out onto the streets on Halloween night, in search of candy and fun. A policeman opened fire, killing both of them. A mob gathered and overpowered the guard. A full-scale riot followed which lasted over a week. What part will you play in the riots? Will you fight to free yourself of tyranical rule? Or will you violently suppress any opposition?

I'm going to be a working class man with a family.

Come on people. I know you've all been wondering how Kulikovo became the nation it is today.

I will Rp as some kind of S.W.A.T member....

Would tourists be welcome in the facist state?

I will be a member of an elite state security unit. Do you already have onenamed, or am I free to come up with one?

I'll join, as a student demonstrator/anarchist.

If you'll have me, I'll take the position of another anarchist, though you'll probably want to post alot of background information so we don't do anything totally out of line. Maybe the part of a firefighter? I have lots of experience with that kind of thing.

That sounds great. Thank you all for showing interest. Posting a little bit about your character would be nice.

I'd like to play a freedom fighter. Maybe part of an organization, if there is one. If not, just a lone voice crying out against the madness of the fascist state...

You can make your own. There will be a Socialist Liberation Front. Which is the main group. But, you can have your own.

Hmm.

Intelligence Report

Terrorist organization

Name: White Rose

White Rose is a terrorist organization, urging the destruction of the current government, and the installation of a democratically elected government.

Though they are suspected to be involved in a recent assassination attempt, the only action they are as of yet proven to have taken is the printing a distributing of pamphlets urging the people to rise up and overthrow the current regime.

Excerpt from a revolutionary pamphlet, believed to be printed and distributed by White Rose

Though they do not claim divine right, though they are not descended from a long line, though they do not wield power through the garnering of wealth, there can be no mistake, there is a ruling class in Kulikovo today.

From the same pamphlet

The ruling class provides an advantage only to its members. It is a parasetic organism, feeding off of the people. This parasite must be removed, by any means necessary.

White Rose's size and influence remain unknown.

Intelligence Report
Kulikovan Citizen
Name: Thomas Kain

Kain is a duality. On the surface, he is a perfectly normal citizen. He is a member of a local bowling club. He chats with his neighbors, and worries about his lawn.

However, any substantial digging will reveal a second Kain. He served in the millitary with such fervor that he gained several awards before being wounded and honorably discharged. He then attended college, where a discontent for the way the government operated seemed to grow. At current he is being monitored as a possible lead in an investigation of the terrorist group White Rose.

Hmm...

I'm not sure what I'll name my character, but I'll say he is a 30 year old Lieutenant in the Fire Department, with EMT training. As a fire fighter, he has leadership skills, knows how to operate a good deal of heavy and light machinery, is extremely strong, can probably kill a man with his bare hands, and would be more than good with heavy weapons (a hose provides a suprising amount of kick folks... think 3 men per hose up front... yea).

Bump

I will have the main thread up in a few minutes.

The main thread is now up.

Ok, looking now....

Name: Tristan Crahan
Gender: Male
Constitution: Average
Height Estimate: Average
Age: 19
Occupation: College Student
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Black
Race: Caucasion
Skills: Martial Arts/Stealth/Armed Combat
Appearence: Normally wears black clothing, rarely red, that he makes himself and collects chains, wristbands, and bracelets to wear. Long natural black hair.

Backround: Tristan is a student of one of the best colleges in Kulikovo, however, he is normally discriminated for how he chooses to dress by his classmates. But he obediently obeys all the rules of the school and laws of the country, therefore, he doesn't seem to be eligible for expulsion.
Tristan's parents were pro-democracy revolutionaries, after his father left the military and his mother retired from working as a national journalist. They passed their knowledge of anti-Fascism onto Tristan secretly at age 14. Because their parents seemed to expect that violence would occur as freedom fighters and Fascist forces tensions grew, Tristan's father trained him for combat with his military knowledge. His parents later worked in small businesses and for being underground journalists.
At age 18, Tristan parents were arrested for issuing anti-government phamplets and later arrested and executed. No evidence was taken against Tristan, so he could return to school. Yet, he continues to carry his parent's revolutionary blood and knowledge.
Now, Tristan studies hard and obeys all rules in the Fascist society, but with his absolute cunning, he secretly supports student demonstrations by attending secret meetings and help writes anti-government messages.

Good character description, should be interesting. The main thread is up so have fun!

I will go into this thread. I will make a character soon. I'm thinking of doing a younger version of Chester Martin.

I don't know, a couple years, possibly almost ten, I suppose.
