» Sat Jul 23, 2011 12:38 am Former members may reapply, but this RP is set several years before the original New Manhattan, so you may use your same character, but feel free to make a new one. If you would like to use your same character, feel free to change as much as you want. I have also changed several locations around.
Introduction: The year is 2277, two hundred years after the war. Its been 15 years since New Manhattan was created, and the city is thriving under lax rules and tight security. Under that facade however, is a high crime rate and tension that threatens to tear the city apart. Several high level factions have their eyes on the city and a huge conflict is about to unfold....
New Manhattan: New Manhattan is a thriving city of around 2000 people located in what used to be Central Park. The city is a 100% post war creation. Remnants of the city's former slave camp status are everywhere, but slowly, they are being built over by high level craftsmanship and glitzy buildings.
1. Cap Town: Cap Town is the red light and casino district of New Manhattan. Several large casinos are located here, and many more are under construction.
2. Central Square: Central Square is where the high towers that house the rich are located. Much of the commerce is located here as well, and as a result, this district sees the most foot traffic.
3. Reuters Way: Reuters Way is where the main entrance to the city is located. Much of the Industry is located here. The crime rate here is through the roof.
4. Balsley: Balsley is the slum of New Manhattan. The crime rate here is very high, and people due every day here from starvation and hunger. Expect to get mugged here.
5. Outer New Manhattan: Many have decided not to live inside the city but rather outside. Mostly located right outside of the western walls, farms, inns, and organized crime all make their homes there.
6. Harbor Town: Located outside of the Western Wall, the harbor houses the boats that take people to and from Manhattan. In order to more easily protect the city, the leaders blew up the bridges and instituted the ferry system.
OUTSIDE NEW MANHATTAN
1. Liberty Lost: After being forced out of their old slaver camp at Central Park, the slavers simply moved to the Island where the Statue of Liberty is located and took it over. The slavers run a huge operation here, and have outposts up and down the Eastern Seaboard, picking up slaves and bringing them to the Island. They want New Manhattan back under their control.
2. Mill Creek: Mill Creek is a semi large independent town located in the old town of Secaucus. Many people who want to enter New Manhattan pass through the town, filling the pockets of businessmen and criminals alike.
3. Mars Meadow: The institute also has their eyes on the city, so they sent 100 men and androids into the area. Those 100 created the town of Mars Meadow. Its looks like any old town, but under the facade, the institute is planning an attack.
4. Rabbithill: A small town located far to the west of New Manhattan on the ruins of Montclair Golf Club. Most of the people who live there make their living hunting and skinning animals.
5. Empire Radio: A small radio station located outside of Mill Creek, Fred Crosby entertains the Empire Wasteland with his smooth voice and great taste in music.

10. Backstory: Alexander Scalatti was born in Vault 110, which was located under Central Park. When he 14, his life shattered when super mutants found their way in and massacred almost everybody but him and one of his best friends Ann. Shortly after, he and Ann were captured by slavers and taken to Central Slavery, which was built on Central Park. After living there for only two days, a mutant, who Alex is still looking for to this day, broke the slaves out, who then overpowered their masters. They voted Larry Carter to be the mayor of the town.
In the years that followed, Alex was destitute, too young for any work. Alex managed to scraqe enough cash for a poor tenement in Balsley, working to provide for both himself and Ann. When Alex turned 20 however, everything changed. He was recruited into the mafia, and after preforming well, became an officer. Soon, Alex became fairly rich. He married Ann, and is now a happy man, but that could change at any time.
Rules:
1. NO UBERING! This rule is crucial. My rules follow hardcoe mode, so stimpacks do not heal in a second, but heal over time. You must eat, and sleep to survive. In addition, keep your character within human capababilities. No getting shot 30 times and still living.
In addition, people are allowed to head their own factions, but the faction must not be extremely large or uber in nature.
2. No flaming/trolling is allowed.
3. No real world political talk.
4. There is no set post limit, but we won't wait forever for you to post. IF you don't post in a while, your character will become an NPC, only becoming playable when you come back.
The RP will begin when there are enough people.
