Welcome to my RP! Please take the time to read everything I have written to understand everything about this RP. If you ask a question that could be answered in the post below, I will tell you to read the post again. Please keep in mind that I have things to do in real life and may not have time to answer questions if I know you can find the answer elsewhere.
I posted this thread and got my votes from these people (I have linked to their posts):

IamalphageekKyuuGenesis of the Rebellion V2~Plot~Exelixia is a wonderful city that uses the most advanced technology that the world has ever seen. The other locations of the world envy this wondrous place, and do what they can to avoid conflict. This place is practically untouchable... even if it was, no one would dare to threaten the city. At first, the city kept to itself, but as years passed, and a new ruler was crowned, their plans had changed and they used their advanced devices as a threat if they didn't surrender quietly to be used for whatever the new leader wanted. The civilians in the city thought nothing of it, and they too desired to follow their leader no matter what; they were practically brainwashed. As one city after another surrendered, there were those who wanted to rebel and hid away until one woman began an underground team. She slowly and quietly spread the word to those who wanted their city back to normal. Their goal was to 'free' the cities from the power-hungry city's clutches, and restore the peace the world once had, but it's easier said than done if this new underground faction wanted to stay as a secret. They were stuck, and continued to take in recruits as they began sorting out the perfect plan to bring back the city's independence.
This Underground Faction lives under the ground of the closest city to Exelixia, excluding a just recently discovered piece of land where no humans live on all for one reason. Unknown creatures that the world has never seen live on this continent, eating any intruders when they can, and never moved to another location. There was a story that six brave men and women went onto this piece of land to record data and bring it back to show the world. Out of the six who went, only two made it out in one piece, but within minutes they died from poison in their bodies. No one was able to fully retrieve the data brought back, but they did get information about the monsters that live there. After that, no one dared to dwell onto that land again.
If the Faction pass through the unknown land, they would have a clear ride to Exelixia where they can face their new ruler, and undergo tests- if needed- and fight for leadership. Every civilian in the controlled cities hope that the Faction will be able to win the fight, and give back what was taken from them: their independence.
~The Players A.K.A you~You are part of an elite team of fighters defending the side you trust in, whether it may be the wondrous city of Exelixia or the rebelling Underground Faction. Each soldier has been drafted to a strict military-like base and trained for the class you desired. Each class has their own special training to make you fit for that class. Transferring to another class may take several years for you to transition over, so they suggest you choose once and deal with it. They want you trained and ready to go out onto the field.
Each class are all unique in their own way, but there's one thing they all have in common, and that is their exterior clothing: A hooded, black cloak with a special colored trim according to alliance and class, and a dark-lens gas mask customized accordingly. The class, what their interior attire consists of, and the trim color will be explained below:
Classes and Attire~These listed classes are the ones that the special military bases have to offer.
Infiltrator: Also known as the assassins, or ninjas. This class specializes in attacking at night, so dark spells and speed enhancements are their main powers. They're naturally trained to be stealthy and quick, but the powers they have just make their assassinations more successful. They also were trained to hide their emotions in combat to keep people from knowing their weaknesses. Underneath their cloaks, they wear tight, leather clothing or light-platted mail in assorted dark colors to hide in the night. The mail that the infiltrator wears is tough, but it isn't as durable as a vanguard's. Their weapons are something small, portable, and something that they can throw. If they're looking for something a little different, bows and arrows work. This includes crossbows.
Vanguard: Also known as a guard. They're training has made them high in power and defense, but they lack in speed because of this. They fight to their full potential during every fight just like a berserker when in their strongest point. They may lack the capability to wield elemental magic, but their power can summon barriers to protect their allies in a close range and even raise their own defense. Thanks to their strength, they can wear light or heavy mail and wield swords along with a shield. Their clothing under the mail is anything that they choose.
Conjurer: Also known as the wizard. This class was to cover any other magics not mentioned, so this class was kept pretty open. Some have a tendency to chant in order to use their magic, but they normally don't need to do it. They don't normally fight with any weapons with blades so they use staffs and their own fists. Their clothing looks like normal street clothing, but they're made with special materials to be more durable and very light.
Berserker: Also known as the slayer. These people were trained in a much different way to contain their hatred and anger to create the signature 'berserker mode' that this class is known for. They may seem weak and vulnerable, but getting them to fight will be something to regret. They're fierce beings that fight to the death if needed. If they get too weak, or their anger is out of control, their 'berserker' mode kicks in and they go- almost literately- insane, boosting their power, defense, and speed. In this mode, they cant tell who's friend or foe, and they act on pure instinct only. Getting them to transition back into 'normal mode' would be hard, but it depends on the person. They're clothing can be anything, but they normally have blood stains and holes all over to show their 'rank' as a berserker. Their weapons would mainly be something long-bladed.
Summoner: Also known as the puppeteer. They have gained the ability to call upon a creature to aid them in combat. They can have up to 3 pets- which replace the 3 powers a different class has. They cannot, however, control another summoner's pet or tame a wild one. They normally wield staffs and pole-arm weapons (lances and scythes), and they wear similar attire to the conjurers.
**Note: If ya want to change the way that the cloaks fit the character, please describe that or show in the image**'Alliances' and Trim colors~These two 'sides' are explained here, and their trim colors are also shown. If you're confused with the color, please google search and you'll find it.
Exelixia~The city with the most advanced technology that geniuses created. Under new ruler-ship, this city has changed their views on each other city and began to conquer them one-by-one to use them for factories and offer better technology. Some people wished to have rebelled against them, but there wasn't much choice no matter what they did. This city has one saying, "If one city discovered something great, the rest of the world has a right to be able to use it too... within certain conditions..."
Trim Colors~Infiltrator: Emerald green
Vanguard: Silver
Conjurer: Sapphire blue
Berserker: Garnet red
Summoner: Brown
The Underground Faction~An unknown force that lies deep underground, right under their "enemies'" nose. This team is ran by one strong-willed woman named Victoria. Her goal is to "beat down" the power-hungry city and gain back the independence that the other cities had before the new ruler took over Exelixia. They might seem like an odd bunch, but they're strong and have their own motivations to fight.
Trim Colors~Infiltrator: Peridot green
Vanguard: White
Conjurer: Aquamarine blue
Berserker: Ruby red
Summoner: Orange
Paid Helpers~When times are tough, some people have gone through training to become one of the classes and offer their power to whoever 'side' that's willing to pay them. The reason why they do this mainly is to get money for their families. These people are usually neutral when it comes to their views on Exelixia's growing power and the secret underground faction. They also made a promise to not leak either 'side's' plans of action or their locations to the other. They do not wear a cloak or mask until they get to the side that's paying them. The 'sides' normally carry extra cloaks and masks in case of emergency.
~The NPC's~Throughout the course of the RP, these characters were made for some reason or another to move the plot along. I might ask some people to help me out with these, but other than that, I will be playing them. I will update as I make the plot.
Leader of the Faction: Victoria~ A woman who knows her place as a leader. She's strict at times to keep her team in check, and may change her attitude towards people when they learn to pretty much kiss her ass. She can be sweet and protective over her team, but at other times knows when they need their space. She has an interesting past that no one knows about, and some of her team wonder what secrets she's hiding. She's an infiltrator, but not everyone believes that... until she fights.
Ruler of Exelixia: Elliot~ The ruler of Exelixia who has just recently became power-hungry. On the outside is a kind-looking man who seems to have a soft side for women who he's had past relationships with, but no one other than him and the women he's been with know this to be true. On the inside is exactly what he acts like when taking control over the other towns: heartless, rude, and uncaring. Sometimes, people wonder which side is his true self.
Messenger for the Faction~ Claimed by Kyuu. She'll have a mini CS for them.
Messenger for Exelixia~ Claimed by Kyuu. She'll have a mini CS for them.
~The Bestiary~At the newly-discovered continent, the data of these monsters were recorded and revealed to the public once the two survivors got out. The descriptions are covering the deadliest of the species.
Leapers~ Grey-skinned creatures with leathery hides. They appear to be mutated wildlife of some kind, but their forms are too twisted to tell. Each leaper posses a strong muscular system and a keen intellect for an animal, though they are dangerous only in packs and are no real threat to a prepared operative. The stronger ones have deadlier animal combinations and even some can cast magic.
Banshee~ Twisted and blackened humanoid forms that stumble around blindly in search of prey. Banshees are unremarkable except in their ability to project an agonizingly high-pitched "scream" that stuns its prey while having no noticeable effects on any nearby mutants. Stronger ones have special liquids in their system to release into the air or in their victim’s prey to paralyze or poison them.
Possessed Centaur Puppet~ Half torso of a manikin and body of a horse. They’re harder to defeat then the average centaur because the manikin doesn’t feel pain so they act purely on instinct. They are fast runners, but they can gain more abilities when fused with additional monsters like snakes and birds.
Twisted Malphas~ It was said that these malphas were kicked out of heaven for its dark deeds. Once back on earth, they made a deal with the devil, and are now a tormented and twisted soul from their dark magic. Twisted Malphas has Razor sharp talons on both its feet and hands. It's most commonly used attack is to summon black crows, whose feathers could cut through steel. The Faceless, evil look of Malphas will strike fear into the toughest of warriors. What makes them worse is what else they are capable of summoning…
Fleshleechers~ Small mosquito-like insects that fly in swarms most of the time. These little critters do more than just fly around and keep you from seeing what's in front of you. They have the capability to be like leechers, crawling under someone's skin by an open wound or any natural holes that humans have (i.e nose, ears, and sometimes the eyes). They crawl under until they hit your vital organs, lay eggs (the larvae are born within a few minutes), and begin to eat your insides. It will take about 2 hours to cause some damage to that human to the point of killing them. They can be extracted when seen as a bump on the victim's skin when moving about.
Shadows~ These creatures are the only one's that have the largest brain out of all the other creatures, slightly smaller than a human's. These things look similar to a banshee (black-skinned humanoid that stumble when walking), but they have the ability to shape-shift into any living thing it wishes from one of the team members to the other beasts in order for the people to be mislead. The two downfalls when it's transformed is that they have a scar on their skin naturally (the scar on their true form is a bright purple. This color cannot be changed when morphed) and that they don't know how to speak English. These creatures normally fight alone.
~Rules~During the course of this RP, I am hoping that everyone who joins this will have read (or known) the rules I lay down here. Please read this before posting a CS!
1~ I do not tolerate God-modding! Yes, I know I write it all the time, but I need to make my point across. For those who are new, I MIGHT give you a warning. For those who know what's right from wrong, try everything in your power to avoid doing this. I can understand mistakes as long as you calmly explain it to me in a nice way. Otherwise, I will not hesitate to kick you.
2~ Kindness goes a long way! You might have some thoughts about a person who joined, but I don't wanna see you posting it all over the OOC or IC. Keep these to yourself, and if something is wrong, talk in PM's. If it's getting bad, notify me through PM immediately. I also expect to be respected as well, so be patient with me if I'm slow or having personal issues.
3~ Be prepared for anything!! When I say this, I want you all to know that I might toss something your way and expect you all to be ready to sacrifice. If you know you can't keep up and plan to leave, please let me know so your character can die in some way so they just don't disappear. That would replace a character's death or injury! Please keep this in mind.
4~ Keep up with the RP! If you join the RP, and you know that your schedule won't allow you enough time to post, please don't join. I know that something comes up and I can understand if I'm notified one way or another. If you need to contact me away from snafu in any way, please PM me and we can figure something out ASAP. I can also accept exchanging phone numbers, but that's only if you absolutely need it.
5~ Equality is what I want to see. In other words, I want people to see each character equivalent to another. I have had stats in the previous 2 RP's but I took that away. Each human has the same speed, senses (unless they have a disorder), and so on. Some things are different according to class, but other than strength and defense, everything's practically the same.
6~ There's no sides in this RP! The alliance that you choose are both good people. Neither want to destroy the world, one's just power hungry and the other are a rebellion. Nothing more, nothing less. Moving on. Oh, and I'll have a special section dedicated to 'paid helpers', who are explained above and I have limited spots.
7~ I'm looking for good posts! In my previous RP's, there have been people who lack to post something huge. I can understand at some times, but I want to see AT LEAST 3 lines in the finished post. Failure to comply and I will say something about it the first time, second time... I just might kick you.
8~ I will not allow any guns in this RP! I want to keep this fairly simple and kick that out. I will allow lasers to some degree, but you need to talk to me and explain it so I know that it isn't going to cause issues.
