overview.
Who you truly are, and who you need to be to survive are two different things. This band of thieves knows that better than anyone. This ragtag group of young adults have been surviving together since a very young age. The leader founded this band of thieves to be a safe haven for orphans, criminals, and those on the run.
Years working as criminals for hire, they've lied, stolen, and killed to make enough money to survive. While they have each other to rely on, they are still barely making it by each month, and the war that's about to break out in their small country isn't helping. So, when a member of the royal family offers them a job to take out the rebellions leaders, the group is torn apart arguing over whether they should take the job or not.
The Leader and four others decide to make a move to secure their future by taking the job, taking the royal's promise of security and stability plus more money than they could ever imagine. The Lover and four others turn down the job, staying loyal to the rebellion against the oppressive government.
These childhood friends are now enemies, turned against each other in the heat of war. Will they reconcile, or tear each other to pieces?
~~~~~~~
Is this a rip off of Six of Crows? Absolutely. There are 10 roles listed, but I'm flexible on this number. None of the roles are locked, so please feel free to suggest your own role as long as you explain it. The roles aren't gender locked but I want to keep the cast mostly even in gender. I want to see interesting, diverse characters who can move the plot along.
The character relationships will be what drives the story, so think in depth about how your character would feel about the others and throw out some ideas for history between them. For now I will only accept one character per writer, but once the cast is selected I will allow you to make other side characters.
There is in universe magic, but nothing too crazy so please keep that in mind.
roles
roles.
the leader
open
The founder and "dad" of the friend group, he has switched sides because he thinks it's whats best for his family. Had a thing with the Lover until the split.
the lover
taken
The "mom" of the friend group, she was the first person the leader recruited to his band of thieves. She is fiercely protective of her found family and a stark loyalist who refuses to even consider changing sides. Had a thing with the Leader until the split, feels extremely betrayed.
the charmer
taken
The charmer knows exactly how to use her good looks to her advantage and can talk anyone into doing whatever she wants.
the brute
open
The muscle of the group, they may be a bit hard-headed but their heart is in the right place.
the strategist
open
They always have their head in a book and a backup plan for when the leader's plans go haywire. They act like they're only here for the money, but deep down they've come to care for this ridiculous group of criminals.
the new recruit
open
The newest member of their gang, they have not fully earned everyone's trust yet.
the inventor
open
Always tinkering with a new gadget, without them they wouldn't have the tools to pull off their heists.
the healer
open
Without them, the group would've all bled out by now. They are also the go to for poisons, gases, etc.
vegeance
open
They joined the group for the promise of revenge against someone who had wronged them, and sometimes their bloodlust gets the better of them.
the runaway
open
This runaway left their privileged past and ended up on the streets where the Leader noticed their potential and introduced them to the life of crime.
rules
rules.
rule one.
This roleplay is not first come first serve. This story will be entirely character based and all characters must be complex enough to move the story along.
rule two.
While the rp will be full of drama, the OOC will not be. No bigotry or intolerance will be tolerated. It is perfectly fine to have creative differences, but there should be no issues between roleplayers. If such drama arises, please bring it to my attention so we can try to work it out.
rule three.
This is an 18+ roleplay, due to mature themes.
rule four.
This is a semi-lit to literate roleplay, I expect proper grammar and a minimum of 250 words per post.
