Ok so hi again, just had another idea, and depending on which one does better in terms of votes, that’s the one I will go with.
THE TRAIN
(based on the movie Snowpiercer, I hope that’s ok)
At the end of the word, the only survivors are on a huge, 2,000 carriage - long train, circling the world. It can never stop, less the few survivors on board all die.
After global warming got out of control, scientists grouped together in an attempt to cool it down. A mistake was made, and their error cooled it to it’s core instead.
Mr Harvey Weildson predicted this, and built a huge train to act as a Noah’s Ark - for those who could afford it. The richest people in the world fought for their tickets, leaving the middle and lower classes behind to freeze.
A group of people without tickets, now known as Tailies, ambushed the train just before it left, a bare few of them managing to clamber aboard, overwhelming the armed guards.
They were pushed into the last cart, and in a moment of compassion Mr Weildson decided to let them stay there, on limited rations and the bare necessities they needed to survive. The woman of course were sterilised, so as to halt their population, and over the years their rations have been halved, and then halved again. It is clear that Mr Weildson’s compassion was short lived, and now he simply wants rid of what he views as a drain of resources.
It has been 3 years, 2 weeks and 4 days since The Train’s departure. The Tailies are anxious that they may not survive much longer. The working class is set on controlling and exterminating them. First, Second and Third class live in peace, with almost every need attended to.
There are many issues, but one stand out above all.
A second dead body has appeared.
With the working class frantically trying to keep it quiet, anything is possible. A revolution? Further Murders?
Who is the killer here?
Is this the start of chaos?
In the roleplay there are four classes of people:
-
Tailies, a group of people who did not pay for tickets, crowded into the back of the trail and living in the same conditions you would expect a homeless person to.
-
Third Class, the working class. They each have jobs, as well as rooms, plenty of food and entertainment. Their children go to school, and they live in pretty much peace
-
Second Class, the millionares. These people are minted, and have every eed to attend to. While not quite as luxurious as first class, these guys have all they could ever want on the train.
-
First class, the billionaires. Every single worker onboard the train is dedicated to making life onboard as perfect as possible for these people. Should even one thing go awry, the perpetrator is likely t be sent straight to The Drawers, prison on board the train.
In this roleplay, you can create as many characters as you want, although I would like to keep the gender ratios fairly even. Any and all ages of characters are acceptable, and npcs will also be made to “fill in any gaps”.
The roleplay will have the first plot of mystery, but many other sub plots also, to keep it interesting. If this gets more votes than The Red Room, I will start it around June, depending on how fast I get work done :]
I’m open to constructive criticism and advice, and please let me know what you think!
Please vote so I know which one to continue planning (If you like both rps then just hit “I’m interested” on both)
