The crickets chirp happily as the yellow burning sun sets in the distance. The sky looks like a summer-time punch, streaked with bright orange and pink. The colorful light reflects off the spotless windows of the grey scale houses at the end of a cul de sac. This somehow makes everything look even more alike. Children play in the distance, getting stains on their best pants and creating a lull of laughter that can be heard from every porch. Men in khaki pants and loosened ties gather around a low fire pit with beers in their hands. Their husky voices add a rumbling texture to the neighborhood symphony. Women gossip about each other in small groups, creating well manicured pods of elegant fashion along the street. An adulterous romp happens quickly and quietly behind closed shudders. Plush green grass frames the 'little boxes' that scatter the rounded bulb at the end of the road. Stark white doors give the illusion of purity and perfection.
This is the all American dream.
Until you get to know your neighbor.
Behind those white doors lie some of the most notorious characters in the nation. Some houses hold innocent bystanders, brought here by the witness protection program. Others have specific missions and goals. Whether they be skilled, ordinary, meek, or wild, no one in this neighborhood is who they seem.
After years of preparation, several parts of the government have created 5 undercover households. The CIA Agents, the Mercenaries, the Dealers, the Retired Agents, and the Protected Witnesses. This neighborhood wasn't designed to be the hub of one of biggest federal missions, but it just so happens that everyone staying in these dull colored houses are intertwined in some colorful way. Each household has a mission, but not everyone is loyal to their party. With personal drama, and an unlucky amount of coincidence, we find ourselves in The Neighborhood.
- Semi-literate to Literate RPers, please. I expect a couple of hearty paragraphs, if not more. However, I understand the need for shorter posts to progress story line or engage in quicker dialogue.
- Quality > Quantity
- Creativity. I expect individual creativity and effort in these posts. Please bring your own ideas, plots, and IC drama to this RP. I want collaboration!
- Character development should be hearty and honest. I expect flaws, boundaries, secrets, and hopes. Side missions and personal goals should be developed. I will assign some side missions as characters discover information or meet new people.
- Commitment. I want this RP to flow. If you can't post at least once a week please step away. I'll also be making a Discord for continued shenanigans. :}
- Communication is key. Firstly, letting me know when issues arise. Secondly, communicate with each other. This RP is to become a community of writers. Thirdly, don't be afraid to ask questions and bring new ideas to the plate.
- Keep it real. Peace up.

CHARACTER SUBMISSIONS HERE
Here are some outlined characters for the neighborhood. The personalities and some information can be tweaked, but please work with the important background provided.
Note: I have two other couples to add the mix if enough interest is developed. I'm also open to other characters being created and thrown into the mix.
THE CIA
Agents X and Y have only just begun their first mission together. Both of strong will and sharp minds, they bicker more than they converse. Two of the governments best agents, they struggle to find balance between following and leading. If they don't shape up soon, it's only a matter time before someone gets hurt.

Collect enough data to freeze THE DEALERS accounts.

As powerful business partners, these weapons dealers make quite the pair. Though they've strictly been business, a fickle love connection has brought them together over and over again.

Get intel on THE RETIRED AGENTS, perhaps they'll get back into the business for the right amount of cash.

The retired agents wanted to settle down and raise a family. They actually moved to this neighborhood so their young son could have a yard to play in. Leaving the service was the most difficult decision of their marriage. Maybe it's coincidence what's happening in the neighborhood, but maybe it's a sign. Mission: Create a normal family. Get a normal, safe job.

Just a heads up, I'm new here.
I'm not used to BBcode so it might take me a bit longer to make a CS once there's enough interest/reservations.
Excited to work with some awesome new people though!
