You first glimpse the city through the window of the train.
What is the best part of you? What is the worst you can offer? As soon as you enter the Victorian-style city, the figurative powers that be know just what to expect from you. Your desires, your fears, your past and even your future are an open book from which the threads of dozens of stories can be brought forth and used to draw others in.
Nested near the centre of a large island, surrounded by an unnamed sea and ceilinged by an unfamiliar but star-filled sky, Ruby City is a place of constant change. From the moment they arrive, the residents influence the ebb and flow with their words and deeds, turning their new home into a mirror of themselves and the actions that they choose to take. Be it for better or worse, the vices and virtues displayed by every individual will impact upon the world around them, affecting the daily lives of everyone else who lives there.
Seven powerful beings hold sway over the city, though they too hail from a realm beyond that of the city itself. Their own pasts largely a mystery, they are tied heavily into the mechanics of their current world and are driven to test the residents of it for their own particular, enigmatic benefits. Yet, as they bicker between themselves, the world around them shifts.
In a place where a good deed means more than a smile in return, and an ill one can cost a life.. what will you become?
✧Basics
✧ Ruby City is a friendly, community based game with most communications occurring on the network and many interactions occurring in the log community. Players also have the option of setting up IC inboxes to more easily start and track private network communications, and these can be used towards your activity as 'booster' threads.
✧ We are a 16+ community and use a G through NC-17 rating system for logs.
✧ We are slow-moderate pace with a quicker pace common during events. Our OOC community is friendly and eager to get new applicants involved.
✧ Applications are processed on a weekly basis, usually on Sunday afternoon GMT. We welcome all canon characters, canon OCs, and characters who are completely original.
✧ Activity Check is easy to manage at Ruby City; with just two short proofs necessary in multiple combination possibilities.
✧ Events occur each month and are often run by the mod team. However, game-wide events run and managed by players are allowed and encouraged as well. Players and their characters can have a very real influence on Ruby City's setting and level of danger.
✧ Ruby City is eager to encourage its players to have a hand in shaping the game. From the locations that exist to potential events, players have the ability to shape the city. Characters themselves can influence the world around them with their actions, through a recently developed system attached to the monthly activity check.
✧New and Upcoming
✧ We have put forward a new system which will allow character actions to have more of an impact on the game direction in terms of event themes, environmental factors and how the city and surrounding areas react to them.
✧ We have increased the size of our mod team, allowing us to more quickly respond to issues and problems arising in the game, and to ensure that we get everything done on time.
✧ A more cohesive metaplot based on the game's past history is being looked at and developed in order to give the game more cohesion overall.
✧ The mod team is always working on improving the game, welcoming input from our players as we do so!
