A City in Ruins
A part of history
The StoryHighler Ridge, a city that was meant to be a test for future living conditions. It became something much more than that, a city full of crime and murder, chaos. The project was abandoned when a criminal organization took out most of the police force, after that, all the heads of the project just... gave up. People slowly left, and once the city looked empty, time took it's course. The city lost it's color, slowly everything faded to grey. Stuff fell apart, machines stopped working, until after many years it looked like an apocalypse rolled through. The city was discovered by an organization called "RESTORATION", a group that works to recover the Earth's beauty. While setting up small camps throughout the city, the group discovered people still living in the rubble of what Highler Ridge once was. They were living like bums, but they were living. Some were taken prisoner, and some were shot and murdered. Word of these new violent individuals got out almost instantly, and all the remaining individuals of Highler Ridge were ready to defend themselves. They may try to stay out of RESTORATION's way, but eventually, most, if not all of them, would be gone, along with the stories of Highler Ridge's past.
The CityHighler Ridge--
Once a large, beautiful city, now a large, ugly, grey city. Everything you would find in a normal city would be located here, but it'd probably be broken. The metro is the preferred travel method, but some of the tunnels are blocked off by rocks and none of the trains work anymore. Most, if not all of the streets are clear, and most, if not all of the buildings are still accessible.
Financial Zone--
Bigger buildings, bigger area. Malls, hospitals, and just general business can be located here. Most of the products out of shops have been cleared out, but you might stumble upon a can of beans now and again. Has more RESTORATION camps than the rest of the city, aside from the parts bordering the sea.
Industrial Zone--
Empty most of the time. Warehouses and broken machines galore. It has a docking area, considering it borders the sea, but RESTORATION doesn't use it, so it's probably the safest place to be for everyone else.
'Rural' Zone--
The ghetto. Apartments, dark alleys, dumpsters and shady family owned stores. Near the industrial zone, to signify that all who live here are filth, but if you live here you get products before anyone else does. Has probably two RESTORATION camps.
Metro--
An underground train system that was the best way to get around undetected. The 'behind the scenes' areas further down the tracks are filled with graffiti, hobo huts and filth.
The Port--
Boats go here, people get off, boats leave.
The 'Factions'Bums - Those who once lived in Highler Ridge. They're poorly armed but have the environmental advantage. They also try to avoid fights at all costs, but aren't afraid to get their hands dirty.
RESTORATION - The group of soldiers that want to restore Earth's beauty. They're armored and have big guns, big numbers, and like to murder bums/take bums prisoner. More arrive via boat when needed.
Innocent - Just want the bad people to go away. They will more than likely never fight back, and spend most of their time running.

Rules1. No godmodding. Just no.

3. I decide whether or not an action is possible, along with whatever mods I might've had come along.
4. Above rule's ruling is decided by others in the RP.
5. Don't be an ass, if you find a loophole, don't exploit it.
6. Don't be stupid, and claim you have a million bullets, or something along those lines.
7. Dramatically changing the environment to your gain is considered godmodding.
8. You may not force a player into a drastic action, unless it's something obvious like them falling if you tackle them. If they suddenly stop posting, you can carry them around and stuff, but other than that, you can't control them. You can't kill them either, unless specified by the person getting killed in a post.
9. Break these rules and you get removed from the RP. How many times I give you another chance depends on who you are and how bad you screwed things up.
