Lockdown

Starting Gear

Items:
Basic Cell Phone: Your basic flip-phone that can only access the prison's prisoner network. While it cannot take photos or access the internet, it does allow for verbal conversation and voicemails. Sorry, no texting. (Leave messages by use of the message area on the forum)
Dwelling: Basic Cell - Each prisoner gets their own cell, furnished with a simple steel-slab bed which comes with a scratchy blanket, flat wannabe-pillow and flat mat that isn't even suitable for being on a gym floor. The cell also has a small end table made of a wooden crate and open closet for hanging clothing.
Clothing: Seven sets of bright orange stiff prison uniforms complete with scratchy underwear.
Keycard: This keycard allows you to lock and unlock your cell (unless locked by Lockdown or a Guard) as well as access public areas of the prison. This is also how your "credits" are kept track as digital credits, preventing them from being stolen. Each keycard requires the prisoner's thumb to be on the chip for it to function properly. Should another prisoner use someone's card, their print is recorded and Guards are notified.

Arm Band or Collar: Each prisoner is outfitted with a metal band that goes on the upper arm or a collar about the neck, made of a special alloy that melds/adjusts with those who can shift forms. This band helps track them as well as allows the prison to monitor their life signal. It can also release a nullification burst to temporarily render out-reaching powers disabled and a paralyzing burst to help bring down a prisoner and cease their activity.

Max stat: 10
Power Max Stat: 15
Health (LP or Life Points)
Human: 10LP
- Your regular powerless human. They get a hefty discount on buying certain items and are often favored over the monstrosities they're forced to live with.
Mutant: 15LP
- Maybe they once were human. Maybe they never were. These 'people' have been gifted or cursed with extraordinary abilities and powers.
Splice: 20LP
- Humans. Mutants. Whatever they once were, they are no longer. They have been experimented on, merged with animal DNA and altered into obvious beast-people driven with instinct and feral tendencies.
Variant: Doll: -6LP
These mutants seem for one reason or another to have taken a different evolutionary path, be it a change in their base genome sequence or some other random factor of the genetic changes that causes the mutations they are almost always stunted in growth, almost seeming at times to grow in reverse though this process does end at some point and to a varying degree of intensity they upon reaching adulthood may stand as small as a few feet to as much as maybe five. Theories abound as to what the cause of their mutations are but most simply point to the sewers as a convenient excuse and leave it at that. They are known to be fickle, easily distracted and can become dependent on others or each other with the larger variant of the strain seeming to exhibit the same level of intelligence and ability as any normal human or mutant, they are also unable to be spliced for the same genetic reasons that cause this odd but ultimately adorable mutation. Perhaps the last part is why a public outcry is never heard. This said, some children who have had this odd happenstance but get spliced before it becomes active, find themselves a true mess, a true torture between man and beast, driven by instinct and most often.. feral. (These characters simply stop aging upon reaching the age of 18 and are often short in stature.. Think halflings or hobbits, only regularly proportioned and usually no fuzzy feet, and much less cheery. Most often their smiles and desire to play leads down dark, horrific roads)
Variant: Chimera (Splice Variant) 30LP
These are a very rare breed and mostly unto their own, the process of splicing once is dangerous enough but some are brave or foolhardy enough to want more. The problem of course is that adding more DNA into a chain that's already been broken and reforged once can cause some, very, interesting, side effects. Most of the time those side-effects are lethal though no one has bothered to figure out why. And why bother when you've already been paid for the process anyways? This has increased the mythology around them to a point that they are nearly fantasized by some for one reason or another. Though ultimately they may make up about 5% of the entire splicer population those that do survive seem to almost have a celebrity status among their own kind. While tending to be a status symbol for the other races to remove from the equation. This may also be exacerbated by their natural rarity and some collectors have put up large sums to own even a piece of one of these rarities.

!r 1d20
1= fail
20 = botch, unless you're at full 10's, then double-bonus.
Max your number = roll your number for bonus damage.
Bonus Damage: You roll !r 1d# for either Strength or Power and get to add that to the damage you do.

Initiative: Intuition Roll
- Decides who goes first in combat or action. Basically means the ability to react to something.


Melee
Attack: Strength + Agility (You attack on your turn either with a weapon or your hands, no powers.)
Block: Strength + Agility (If your roll beats theirs, you can attack on your turn.)
Dodge: Agility + Intuition (If your roll beats theirs, you can run away or attack on your turn.)
Soak: Strength + Endurance (If your roll beats theirs, you only take damage if it's higher than your Endurance, and you can attack on your turn.)
Counter: Agility + Endurance (If your roll beats theirs, you get to roll damage and still attack on your turn.)
Weapons/Armor: Adds bonuses to rolls.
Damage: !damage (Your #) (Their #) ..example: !damage 13 6

Powers
Usage: Power (!r 1d20)
Attack: Power + Cunning
Block: Power + Agility
Dodge: Power + Intuition
Soak: Power + Strength
Counter: Power + Endurance
Weapons/Armor: Adds bonuses to rolls.
Damage: !r 1d #Power (If using melee rolls and power is only useful for added dmg)

Characters can have a max of three (3) powers. Each power needs at least one roleplay weakness (which is played out) and one mechanical weakness (which effects rolls). Each power has multiple roleplay effects and the mechanical effects are done in combat dice, as well as with a straight up stat roll for power, as indicated by !r 1d#Power

There are no auto-effects, such as mind-control. Everything is an attempt, and hit locations (while they can be aimed for) are decided on by the defender. So if you aim for their head and are attempting decapitation, and your attack is successful, they can still have their character raise an arm and take the hit there instead, but not lose their arm if they don't want to unless a tournament/event states otherwise.

OOC Rules
1) At any time, an OP can request you roll for something your character is doing or attempting to do.
2) If starting a fight, it is the defender who gets to pick if dice are used or not. This stops powerful bully-type characters from automatically ransacking the weaker ones.
3) An OP can override ANY rule at any time for any situation they deem fit.
4) Don't ask, don't tell. This IS an 18+ room for violence, possible gore, adult situations and sexual concepts. If you are thought to be under 18 due to your lack of maturity, you will be questioned on it and possibly removed. While some people may be mature enough to handle these concepts despite their age, this is to protect our room and our players from the issues that can arise from an underage being in our group with this sort of content. If you ARE under 18, please do not join us. Even the characters here cannot be under 18yrs of age.
5) Stalking, obsessive behavior, immaturity, emotional abuse, manipulation and in general being a creep are ways that can get you kicked out. We encourage players to go to an OP with logs about such things.
6) Politics, religion and spoilers are not allowed in the OOC room. These things can cause issue when discussed, so please take it to PM or another room.
7) If a player finds the OOC topic to be displeasing and asks for a change of topic, please do change it. If an OP says change the topic, do it.
8) IC coups, groups, clans, gangs and such are allowed and encouraged. Keep in mind, there is always someone stronger than you.


Gaining Credits (XP)
Monthly each character gets 2-20 credits based on play.
Hosting an Event: Hosting an event can earn a player 50 credits to be split between their characters if they wish.
Winning a fight: 10 credits (You may also gamble for the chance of gaining more)
Modding, Guarding, Shopkeeping: You gain +10 credits based on work monthly.
Failure: Either recorded by a mod, OP or through screen capture presented to an OP. Gives you 1 credit.
Botch: Either recorded by a mod, OP or through screen capture presented to an OP. Gives you 2 credits.
Jobs: occasionally you can gain credits for doing your jobs, though most jobs are just busy-work for play and keep the prison functioning.

Guards are also able to give out a select number of special items time to time, allowing them to play favorites or be bribed.
Hamper: You retrieve and do the laundry of the prisoners and make sure they get returned to their proper owners as indicated by their tags.
Nurse/Doctor/Extractor: You work in the "infirmary" where besides experimentation duties, you help wrap broken bones and mend owies. In some cases, you're even one to make owies by being an Extractor in shows.

Areas of Note
Traversing the Prison is done through stairs, vents, and elevators, as well as the fact that the underground prison has a spiral ramp walkway that goes through each area, blending seamlessly with each floor and space.
"Infirmary"
- Called such with quotes because most folk DREAD going there. It can be a place of healing, depending on who you get.. or a place of pain, misery and experimentation. Only those with proper knowledge and/or abilities are permitted to work there among the sterile cold steel and tools. It's on the same floor as the Arena, but has direct drainage to the sewer and access from everywhere else.
Atrium
- This is the outdoors, inside. This room takes up an expanded whole floor because it's so vast. The elevator opens near the center, inside a barn where there are livestock for ranching and culling, surrounded by immense farm land for crops, which is further surrounded by an encircling ten acres of trees and woodland, with a few small ponds and creeks throughout. Should one reach the walls, they would find them projecting the imagery of woods, though some speculate they are more like a two-way mirror and they're being watched. The ceiling spans a good mile up, hinting at the depths of the prison. The ceiling itself is comprised of shifting panels that not only simulate a sky with rolling clouds, but also gives off artificial sunlight. There are even sprinklers that can simulate rain. While no actual animals are naturally present in the Atrium, wildlife recordings and forest ambience is projected throughout via speakers.
Arena
- Located above the Cellblock but below the Atrium. Some call it a Danger Room of sorts, and they'd be right. Here, the terrain and layout shifts at the beck and call of hidden spectators thought to be investors in the prison, who use the prisoners as entertainment. Here, events and fights happens, obstacle courses are created, and shows of Extraction are put on as grand displays of a finale. Arena Officiates have the ability to alter the room and oversee fights, to make them sanctioned.
Cellblock
- This unique encircling layout seems endless with its numerous doors to Cell Dwellings and lengthy hallways. Here, prisoners wander the halls and spend most of their time, as the halls are lined with TVs that broadcast present and past Arena Events, Extractions and the occasional prisoner interview, as well as friendly happy messages from people who are glad that these criminals are off the streets. Oh, and puppy and kitty videos. Because the statistics show that puppy and kitty videos bring smiles and a happy prisoner is a productive visitor!
Cafeteria
- Located to the left of the Cellblock, this is a large room that is divided by a long serving counter. This keeps the kitchen separated from the tables, allowing the Chefs/Cooks to work and prisoners to eat at tables that are reminiscent of kiddie school. There is an enclosed area separated by the freezer where the Butchers work.
Market Hall
- Located to the right of the Cellblock, this hall is where the various shops are. They are protected by thick nullifying bullet proof glass and have special slots for the exchange of credits for goods. Workers get in through a set of proofed double-fortified layered doors that will not open until the other has closed, and the system detects only the lifeform with proper keycard. (OOCly speaking, you can't steal from the shops until we have a system for it.)
Vents
- The vents are of note because the ventilation system is not only used to deliver oxygen, special gases and more, but some mutants and splices like to use them as a traveling network instead of stairs or the elevators. The vents give access everywhere.. even to the dwellings of others...
Sewer
- The lowest level of the prison. Here is where raw sewage is processed and converted to water and fertilizer that is pumped through the atrium pipes, among other things. This watery, stinky network of large pipes and narrow walkways is where some mutants and splices choose to dwell, rather than their cells and thus become known as The Lost because of their feral tendencies and being so outcast from prison society. They can access the above floor by climbing up ladders and lifting the manholes. Some do traverse between the two easily, including keeping their own Dwelling.
