Two conflicting sides -
In this world the most sentient creatures are divided into two classes, Human and Ghoul. Ghouls have been our mortal enemy ever since we diverged in evolution, and are monsters that only seek to kill us. All around us there are innocents being maimed and murdered in cold blood, only to fuel monsters in place of men. In what way are we supposed to coexist with another being who uses us as cattle? If they ever had the chance to overtake us in terms of power, we'd become nothing more than a beef cow to their masses. It is our goal as the CCG and the Doves to eradicate these monsters before us ourselves are eradicated. In terms of life, no ghouls can come before our species own. If we must eradicate their entire race in order to preserve ours, then that's exactly what we'll do.
The main issue regarding ghouls is the factor that they can disguise themselves near perfectly as our kind. If we are to eradicate them without harming innocents, there needs to be proper evidence in hand in order to commence a wiping operation. It is our sworn duty to protect the people, which makes those ghoulish bastards our sworn enemies.

Give their views of one another -
Our entire lives we live in the backbeat of society's drums. In terms of life, ours is far harsher than that of the picturesque ones of the human populous. Each day we go out into the world fearing we may one day not return to our children, or return back to see our children gone instead due to the goddamn CCG. Due to us living our lives being hunted like animals we don't think years at a time, rather what is happening at the current second. Why waste time on planning for the future if you may never even make it to mornings light?
It is true that we kill humans, but unlike the media makes it out to be we usually don't do it for fun. Most is the keyword here. We do it in order to survive, as without human flesh our bodies rot away with the going months. Have humans even felt how its like to have your insides being eaten by itself, because in our reality it is all too common. We don't have the luxury to go out and eat whatever we want, as human food does nothing besides weaken our bodies due to us not being able to digest it. If it is a crime to live the only lives we've been given, I honestly could care fucking less. In this world we are perceived as monsters, however all we want is to live. It just so happens we must kill in order for that to be done. If we have to kill a few in order to save our own kind from a bitter demise we must do it, for our own innocents are dying due to humanity's misconduct. Our numbers are faltering more by each passing night, so those among us must live to see another tomorrow.
Such is the fate of our cursed existence.

The Plot of the Roleplay -
This roleplay will be nurtured by the path our characters take in the story, much akin to the choices presented in TellTale Games or the Butterfly Effect principle. Despite the story being founded by open roots, I do have a plot in mind to help the roleplay progress along. This roleplay will be taking place in between the ending of Tokyo Ghoul and the beginning of :re onwards. I picked this time-period as it was often left uncovered in the manga, and felt it would lead to a major change in the story if acted upon properly. To those not accustomed to the manga, this factor won't matter all that much if you join. I have a handful of people who'd help explain some things that appear later down the line.
Now down to the actual plot.
This plot will be cannon to the first segment of the original Tokyo Ghoul storyline, with it changing paths as :re starts kicking in. The changes in action will be those of crucial events in the storyline (example: someone lives even though they were supposed to die/die when they were supposed to live.), and will be discussed with the active rper's before being acted upon. I actually plan on changing the outcome of some of the CCG's actions, such as the Auction raid taking a different turn, or maybe even allowing Tsukiyama's family to not be found out by the CCG. Even though these might only seem like slight changes, these will cause major ripples in the fabric of time.
This roleplay is not going to be a open world shit show, it will be following a plot with differing endings. If you aren't into character driven plots, this rp might not be for you.
