Setting
The majority of this story will take place in London, England, 1857 AD. You live in one of the shadiest parts of the city. Robberies, murders, and crime are not at all foreign to you. You must guard your interests fiercely, or you will have them taken from you. Law enforcement is virtually non-existent here. If the police do come into the picture, they usually do more harm than good. They are a corrupt and misinformed force.
Your Role
You are London's lowest. You are the criminals and rogues that lie in the gutters of the city, waiting for your prey. And, for one reason or another, the law is after you. You've had a hard life. Every day you have to compete in the daily struggle to survive. Some of you may be honorable than others, but you all have resorted to crime to make a living. This life is all you've ever known, but all is about to change for you...
The Plot
Richard Roland. You've never heard his name before. But, one way or another, you come across this very odd man. Roland saves you. He lets you into his home, feeds you, gives you warm clothes. But all is not free. Roland requires service in exchange for his generosity. Roland gives you very little choice in the matter. You have been enlisted into the Roland Acting Troupe.
What happens from here on out is up to you.
Rules
No God-Modding, please. It isn't fun for anyone.
Romance is fine (and encouraged) as long as it stays PG-13. No descriptive sex.
Swearing is allowed, considering your characters background. But keep it reasonable.
KEEP THE GENDER RATIO EQUAL.
Posts need to be reasonable length. I don't want any 2-3 sentence posts.
If you have any questions, PM me.
