I liked this idea, but it died very fast, so I’mma bring it back.

Street fighting in Constance City is very common. There are so many people who participate that the authorities can't do anything about it, and have given up trying. Street fighting has grown, and now people are fighting in groups of three, the supposed magical number. Most of the groups aren't very harmful, but the really good ones own entire sections of the city, and rule their domains with angry vengeance.

The Iron Guard is probably the most powerful of the street fighting groups in the history of the city. Powerful, ruthless and cunning, they beat every foe with a brutal ease. There are many who want to take down the Guard… but for one problem.

No one knows who the members are. They are always masked, and disguise their voices. So no one knows who they are. Any of them.

It's become quite a problem, as the Iron Guard now owns most of the city. And many people, powerful people, want the name and the fame. They are willing to do anything to get the Guard… anything.

But first, they have to find out who they are.

And it won't be easy.

• andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)’s rules apply.
• I do not give a single fuck what you say in terms of language. Except that you can’t say racial slurs.

• Put! Effort! In! Be active! I’m really rooting for this RP to not die.
• Got ideas? Put ‘em in. You can clear them with me if they’re brutal, but otherwise? Just try to worm them in.
• I’d prefer to avoid anything explicitly sexual, sorry.
• Shipping is absolutely allowed. In fact, I welcome it with open arms.

May I?

Also, I have choir in a minute so I'll have to post my sample later (if you'll allow me!)

(TW for almost hypothermia, death mention, the indifference of nature)

The climber was stuck, stuck at the top of a mountain that didn't care whether he lived or died. There were friendlier mountains, less rough on you and certainly less of a struggle but he had chosen this one. He had to climb this one, or else he would never prove to his parents anything.

Halfway up, the chill had set in. Two thirds the way, he was shivering. And now, so close to the top, he was freezing up.

But then… a door opened. There was a door. In a mountain. It was enough to let him ignore the chill, but now he was curious. Curious was a dangerous thing to be, on mountains. Lightning lapped at the tops of the mountains like an old man trying to get some green bits out of his dentures. The climber didn't particularly like the idea of lightning, and so he went into the mountain, and into the warmth of the hill.

(Is this good?)

AGE: 19
SEXUALITY: Bisexual
OCCUPATION: Street fighter and dance instructor at a nearby dance studio, as well as a temporary actor and a college student
CODE NAME: Dancer
GROUP AFFILIATION: Iron Guard

APPEARANCE:

• General face claim: Seph 1, Seph 2, Seph 3, Seph 4
• Height/Weight: 5'3'', a source of pain for her, as she can rarely reach anything, and about 98lb
• Build: She is curvy and beautiful, slender, and muscular, because of all of her dancing she does. She moves with grace and poise and purpose, but can also look meek and mild and innocent.
• Skin tone: Beautiful skin, pale and yet sun-tanned enough to look good
• Face shape: Kind of heart-shaped
• Hair color: Kind of a red-auburn color, with streaks of brown in it
• Eye color: A bright, dancing green eyes with gold flecks in them
• Hair texture: Softish, although it can be rough because she doesn't wash it as often as she should
• Hairstyle/cut: A braid, although she'd cut it if she could, and she always has those strands of hair that just won't stay in the braid
• Facial Hair: N/A
• Noticeable marks: N/A
• Piercings(?): Just one on each ear
• Clothing style: The Dancer's Clothes. A long sleeve gray shirt and black leggings. The shirt has the crest of her dance studio on it. She also always wears a hoodless jacket, of a dark gray, with lots of colorful patches on it. She wears her dancing shoes everywhere, so that she can dance whenever she wants. She always has her bag with her, as well.
• Preferred weapons(?): Her dancing baton, a long metal rod that can fold into itself, and acts as a staff.

PERSONALITY:

• Traits: Seph is fiercely independent. She has lots of ideas that could be considered dangerous to the society. She has a wild imagination, and loves to weave stories in her head. She is sarcastic and funny, and loves to be around people, most of the time. She is confident, and usually the first one to step up and do something new. She has a fiery temper, and is easily riled, but she doesn't often show it. She gives off an aura of warmth and welcome, and is a very good actress. She can often be seen talking to one of the anyone, and they will be talking and laughing with her. She is good at making anyone open up to her, and everyone instinctively likes her. She is a rebel, through and through, and hates injustice with a burning passion, which can sometimes be the only thing that gets her up in the mornings. She loves to challenge things, especially authority. She has a quick, clever mind, and is incredibly smart.
• Fears: Enclosed spaces, spiders, losing the people she loves, being betrayed
• Likes: Her friends and family, the color of the sky when the sun is rising, dancing, listening to music, being a dork, talking with people, fighting
• Dislikes: Idiots, government officials, overenthusiastic fans, super bright colors, brussel sprouts and broccoli
• Strengths: She is very good at learning new dances, and dancing in general. She is very quick and agile, and with her light stature can often climb trees and balance on wires with no problem. She is good at making friends, and keeping officials from hurting her friends and family. She is a beautiful singer, but singing is the only thing she's too shy to do in public, but she sounds like a songbird. She can make people follow her, and love her, easily. She's a pretty good fighter, slightly above average.
• Weaknesses: She can't control her temper very well. If she ever sees a government official, she will hurry the other way, because otherwise she will burst. She loses herself in crowds, and often forgets who she really is. She doesn't have very good upper body strength - most of her strength is on her legs.
• Hobbies: She loves dancing, obviously. It's her happy place. She listens to music when she dances, too. She likes to carve little sculptures out of wood, although that's also something she never shows anyone. She sings in the shower, too… if that counts.
• Talents: She's pretty good at fighting, and keeping her head about her when there's a fight in front of her. She's good at making people like her, and pretty good at singing. She's fantastic at dancing, and climbing, too.

BACKGROUND:

• Family: Her little brother Clarence, her mom, her dad, her older brother Jeremiah, and her little sister Ruby Ruth
• Pets?:
• Social Class: Upper middle class
• Country of Origin: … I dunno. Wherever Constance City is, ig. I haven't figured out the country structures yet.
• Other: None
