New GTARPG Ideas and Info

[copyKatt]

Welcome to the begining thread to the Grand Theft Auto Role Playing Game (GTARPG).

I'm fully aware that we already have a running RPG. If you don't feel you can activly participate in two RPG's at once, simply don't post in this one. I know I will have no problem being a character in both RPGs.

This RPG is going to be almost completly open- There will be a city, us, and the rest is up to you. What will you be? A cop? A criminal? A member of another player's gang? An everyday citizen? It's up to you. Storylines will write themselves- You may find yourself fightning another player for terf and power... or maybe you will be fighting an NPC gang? Or maybe you will be a thief, a catburgler, going from rich house to musem to warehouse, eveading defenses and finding the ultimate catch. Or will you be a hitman? Perhaps another player will hire you, if not, you can be hired by an NPC. It's all up to you.

Basically, there is a city: Willsville. It has slums, a dock, a comercial district, an industrial district, an airport, a river, a park, and everything else a normal citiy has. It's also a beach city, bordering somewhere on the Antlantic ocean.

If a person dies, they will be revived. Even if you were shot in the head, or crushed by a car, Or eaten by a lion, or anything, you can say that you were braught back to life at the Hospital. Or you could die. Up to you. Of course, a hospital visit costs money.

If you get arested, perhaps you could escape from jail. Or another person could bust you out. Or perhaps you know some of the cops...


There's a small amount of text along the left side. Ignore it...

Only 'important' buildings are shown. I can add more, and make any other changes that I need to. Add your house, your gang HQ, or anything else you want me to add. I'll slap it right on. That's how I designed the image, so I could change it fast and easy.

Here is a map of the city. The Buildings with Red Dots are Ammunation, Military-surplus gun stores. They sell any weapon (or weapon releated item) that you could need, as long as it is legal.

Don't like the word 'legal'? Looking for something maybe, a little more powerful? Head down to "Titan Co." To the cops, Titan Co. Is your normal, everyday heavy manufacturing factory, making car bodies, steal beams, and other heavy metal things.

To the criminals, it is the center of the Black Market. If you can't buy or sell it anywhere else, you can here.

Ford already planned out his character. He runs his own gang in the slums by the dock. So I've added Matt's HQ. I'll add yours too, if you want to run your own gang.

Now, this is set in present day. I could talk forever, but now I'm gonna open the stage for input.

Name is obvious, along with nickname. You don't need a nickname if you don't want one. Age, hight, and all of that isn't required. Weapons arn't required, but recomended . Ocupation could be either your Legal job, or you illegal job, or both. Vehicles are any vehicles that you own, they could be real ones or just 'generic' ones (Real car: Ford '69 Boss mustang. Generic car: Muscle car.) Other equipment is anything that's not a weapon or vehicle. Money could be either a actual number, or it could just be 'Lots' or 'usualy poor' or anything like that.

center of operations: If someone needs to find you, where would you be? Where do you keep your guns and cars? Where do you crash at night? You know, where do you operate out of.

Bio: A description of your character. Isn't required, but it's fun.

Ok, now I'll do my guy, so you guys have an example.

[copyKatt]

Name: Will
Nickname: "The Cobra"

Age: Late teens/Early 20's
Hight: Normal
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Blue or Grey

Ocupation: Mercenary/Hired
Weapons:
- Schweigtepräzisionsscharfschützengewehr-Eins Precision Sniper Rifle (Silenced PSG1)
- Very big combat Knife
- M82A1 Berrett "Light Fifty" .50cal Heavy Sniper Rifle
- Steyr Tactical Machine Pistol (STMP) (x2)
- Frag Grenades
Vehicles:
- High speed japanese-style Motorcycle
Other Equipment:
- Trenchcoat conceles weapons, and kevlar bodyarmor.
Money: Fluctuates- He charges a lot, but he spends a lot.

Center of operations: His hideout is in an abandoned building, south of the park, by the river.

Bio: Will takes guns seriously. Very seriously. Show him a gun, he'll tell you it's maker, it's name, how to make it, where to get one, and more importantly, how to use it. He is trained with any weapon, and is very deadly unarmed as well (Think Jackie Chan style fighting ;D).

He's the perfect killer, stealthy, efficiant, and near perfect aim. His pricetag reflects this.

His weakness is the fact that he's overly specilized. All he can really do is Kill perfectly. He can't drive a car very well, and has never driven a truck in his life, although he is the most familier with his bike. He dosn't ave any afiliation so he dosn't have anyone to turn to if he ever needs help (But so far that hasn't been a problem). He's horable at interigation adn robery, although he's a reasonably good theif.

His past is a mystery to others, however, he knows how to pilot helicopters and other aircraft, so some suspect he may have a military backround. He has a hideout in an abandoned apartment building near Liverty River.

On Missions, he brings his PSG1 (silenced sniper rifle), 4 grenades, and his two STMPs (Like UZIs but better, military grade), and his knife. If the mission is really tough, or if it involves taking out a car or other vehicle, he'll bring his Light Fifty instead.

Personality wise, he is a total loner. He lothes other people. he views the entierty of the human race as pests and vermin, total wastes of his time. Talking to him for extended periods of time is never enjoyable. Most of his employers refuse to communicate directly.

The only people he ever is really nice to are Tass, his arms supplier, and Katt, owner of the only place he hangs out. He dosn't hate them... and that's saying a lot for him.

Strengths:
- This guy is really armed
- Trained and perfect killer
- Will work for almost anyone
Weakneses:
- Not a team player
- No affiliation
- High Pricetag
- Poor adn homeless

[copyKatt]

Name: Cassidy
Nickname: (can you guess?) "Katt"

Age: early 20's
Hight: 5'4"
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Blue

Ocupation: Bar tender at "the Bullet"

Weapons:
- 17L 9 mm Glock (kept uder the bar for serious business)
- 12 gauge shotgun (also kept under the bar, but rarely used. just pulled out every once and a while to scare off hoodlums)
- Smith & Wesson Model 686
- butterfly knife

Vehicles:


Other Equipment:
- lock picks, personal possesions, the arsenal of drinks found at the Bullet

Money: Reasonable, not too rich, not too poor. most of the money comes from her bar, which is pretty successful.

Center of operations: self owned bar "The Bullet." on the north side of the Liverty river to the east.
personal aparment two blocks from the Bullet.
a small beach house on Sandy Hook, not many people know about it, great place to hide away

Bio: Grew up and lived all her life in the city and moved away from her family as soon as she could. She picked up the ability to pick locks from sneaking out of the house, and sneaking back in all the time. then she started a small business by herself, proving to anyone who bothered to care that she is independant. usually a loner, and barey gets any trouble from the "locals" due to her letting them use her bar for secret meetings and the like.

Strengths:
- doesnt rely on many people
- has no arch-enemies and no one out to kill her (as far as she knows)
- Not a lock out there that can stop her
- Knows alot of the gangs/gang leaders
- Good source of gossip and info (people tend to talk alot after a couple drinks )
- precision shot with hand guns

Weakneses:
- has no real good freinds (yet?)
- can barely use any gun besides hand guns
- hates to see people die
- would never be able to kill anybody.

[copyKatt]

Ok, if anyone here can't think of a character, here are a few ideas:

A member of an NPC Mafia, crime family, or gang.
A member of Matt's gang.
A leader of a mafia, crime family, or gang.
A cop. (You'll probably fight us, though)
A crooked Cop. (A cop on the criminals side)
A Mercenary (someone who takes jobs from gangs)
An assasin.
A black market salesperson.
A smuggler
A car theif (Think gone in 60 sec)
A street racer
A drunken, homeless, hobo
A normal citizen who witnesses a crime scene and goes on the run from the mafia
A teenager who is a member of a neiborhood gang, who dreams of joining a big mafia
A super rich buisiness person who owns their own massive, worldwide company and got rich by enlisting the help of criminals. (think Donald Love)

Those are just some ideas for characters. Now, if you don't know anything about guns, here is a list of guns that are easy to find. This is not every gun you are alowed to use, just some suggestions if you have no ideas.


UZI. Who dosn't know what this is? A fast fireing, low acuracy, easily obtaind on the black market, machine pistol


MP5. Hard to obtain through the black market, but extremly powerful submachine gun. High rate of fire, acuracy, and power. It can also be silenced. Used by SWAT and other police/military forces.


M16 A2. Very dificult to obtain, but you won't find anything much more powerful. Has 3-round burst mode, large clip, almost perfect acuracy, and high rate of fire. Can have an attached scope.


M4 A1. This gun is a weakened verson of the M16. Very powerful, and it is also very easy to obtain (it can even be manufactured by almost all legal parts)


AK47. Very, very easy and cheap to obtain. Has full auto, high power, but little acuracy.


Desert Eagle. This is the size of a pistol, yet it fires .50 cal bullets. Super high powered, but expensive to find.


Generic Pistol. Pistols are so easy to obtain it's legal. Low power, accuracy, and cost. Large clip. Very very common.


Generic Shotgun. Fires shotgun shells. Super deadly in close range, but you have to reaload one shell at a time, and the gun fires slow. However, it is legal, so it's very easy to obtain.


Spas-12. Full auto shotgun. No more needs to be said.


Knifes. cheap.

You can, of course, use any real life gun you want. If it's a very rare gun, or a military-only gun, try to think of a way how your character got it, becuse military weapons only show up on the black market very rarely.

Alias: Tass
Age: 27
Hair: Black with with streaks

Not long after, he was approached by a executive of Titan, Inc.

But after awhile he got tired of all the senseless killings that were in the name of greed. He left that profession and has since been trying to repent. He gets by with what he can and wanders the city helping those in need that come his way.

- However, leaving the Yakuza made him a few enemies.
- Got the name "The Blade" from his ability with his kitana sword

[Deimos]

Took me a while, but here it is:
Deimos’ GTA Character-
Name: his birth name was Taisho Kiba, only his closest friends (all of 2) still call him that
Nickname: asks people to call him ‘Sho’
Age: early 20’s, most likely 21
Height: 5’11” - 6’
Hair: jet black
Eyes: black
Occupation: drifter
Weapon(s):
-Colt .45 revolver: 7.5 inch barrel, double-action. Nickel plated, with ivory grips and silver name plate on the butt. Matching oriental serpent dragon carvings on both grips has golden horns and claws (very, very small details) with inlaid rubies for eyes.
-sawed off double-barrel shotgun: simple, no extras

Vehicle(s):
a modified 1939 Brough Superior: a final gift from Taisho’s father- a well worn old motorcycle that he used himself. Of course to compete with today’s bikes- Billy, Taisho’s uncle (who also kept the two guns)- had it restored: with a new engine and all the works. Yet to keep with the old look- everything was constructed to appear as it was. Now, it’s an antique that runs with the best of the new.

here’s a pic: (sorry, I needed to use a link- couldn’t post it directly for a few reasons)
www.autogallery.org.ru/k/b/39broughsuperiorSS-80DeLuxe_CCT.jpg

Other Equipment:
-silver angel pendant- when the wings are held down, a key slides out from a slot on the bottom of the pendant, which becomes the handle for the key.

Money: usually has a medium amount (which for him is around $300, he withdraws from banks using his father’s name and account)- enough to spend on a cheap hotel and food

Center of Operations: wanderer, when in town he makes use of the cheapest hotels around, in this case- a gaudy hotel in the upper commercial district of Willsville.

Bio:
Taisho was born a city-boy, raised like any other city-boy. The only real difference was that his parents were divorced. Yet despite that, his actual childhood up to around 18 yrs was fine- his father (whom he had never truly known) provided a great deal of child support. Upon leaving for new ground at 18, Taisho received a letter from his long-lost father...He was dying, and with that- Taisho went to his father’s current location. He may not have known him very well- but being his father was reason enough to go.
Upon getting there- he learned that his father was a freelance hitman- and had just failed a job...the gang that hired him was now out to kill him. The bait the gang used- his younger sister, one he never knew he had...from his father’s second marriage. His father urged him to save his sister- she was all that mattered. With that in mind- Sho’s father gave him the two guns he uses now- a custom revolver, and a sawed off double-barrel shotgun- and taught him how to use them with a deadly proficiency in all of three days...After which, his father died from blood loss. Sho then went for his sister...but the gang had laid out a trap...she was gunned down in front of him, and he was shot afterwards...Unbeknownst to the gang, Sho lived...and in a year, reaped his vengeance...or so he thought.
Since then, he had not killed another soul- and his father’s guns were entrusted a close friend...that is, until now...word had it that the gang leader he killed was only a body double...
In the three years that passed, Sho has drifted from town to town- his father’s killer instinct flowing through him- which he hides well. Not to mention, despite those skills that he inherited, he refuses to put them to use- even if for good- Taisho is one is prone to saying, “I’m no hero, sorry- go help yourself” although, if you are one of his very few close friends, he will help.
Finally, he has two personas: the first is a carefree one that uses to get by- the second is one of a shadowy trickster’s... This persona is sarcastic, cold, and calculating- but at the same time always up for “shoot first, ask later.” This side of him is also won’t to stick to any ‘rules’ in battle- he’ll stoop to low levels to get where he needs to. BUT- that side of him only comes out when he’s angered or severely, severely annoyed. Not to mention...he is also officially recorded as ‘deceased’, thusly- Taisho really no longer exists.

Strengths:
+has a professional killer’s instincts
+very strong and durable
+no fear- at all (literally)
+the status of “deceased” comes in handy now and then, allows him to use his father’s account and name to access large stores of cash (they looked exactly alike, and he knows everything necessary about his father to commit a perfect forgery)

Weaknesses:
-Has no real martial arts skill- should his guns become unable to help- a simple brawling describes his style
-Very few allies
-You never know who’s side he’s on...until it’s too late- for better or worse
-Can get distracted by memories easily

[catarax2000]

im thinkin sence the gta rpg died down fast that we should have somone play a god role and throw new situations into the mix.like a weapons shipment or somone gets his friend killed and new vigilante's like wanna be punisher pedestrians.electioon rigging and cpu players also would be great to.anyways if stuff like that were to happen that would liven up the rpg.jut my opinion that i think my work out a bit better.

[Tassatul]

Whoa cool, that sounds like a neat idea. Someone plays a 'god' role, and while everyone else is RPing, they can throw in obstacles and random happenings to make everything more interesting and more random. It would have to be somebody imaginative though.

[catarax2000]

well sence we seem to be the only people on u get to pick u or me.lol.i dont have much better to do so ica n but if u want it sure and if u want somone else then pcik cause im new so i might now be the best choice
