Minion search is over. Stay tuned for the announcement of the winner(s) and the answer sheet, just so you all can feel stupid for not picking the right answers.
If you're going to join, or just want a general idea of what this forum is about, this board should be your first stop. Inside is everything you need to get started: the rules and any plots that arise, as well as the announcements. Check back often to see new announcements, as well as rule changes.
When there's an event, this is how you'll know, besides the fact that there will probably be an image up stating something to that effect. But this board will contain what the event is in more detail, so if you want to know what's going on, check it out here.
Join here. Plain and simple. The character sheet is pinned. Do NOT make any changes to it when you post. Make sure you post in the appropriate sub-board, and as always, wait to be accepted before RPing.
Canons are characters made by one person, for another. They will not have a complete profile. Some things will be given, others will not. It is up to whomever claims a certain canon to fill in the blanks. If you wish to play a canon, be sure to stay true to what the profile says. If the creator says that the character is quiet and shy, do not have them become a stripper and throw a huge party for everyone. Also, use the correct forms and follow the rules.
Admit it- you read it. It's human nature to want to know everything that's going on, right? With a little help from anonymous contributions, an equally anonymous entity regularly compiles a good summary of the juiciest things going on in Detroit.
Oh, what fun! It's nice to have a general idea of what you would like to happen to your character in their future. Come here to ask for plots, share your ideas, or offer your character to be involved in someone else's plot. They can be short plots that last one or two posts, or plots that span the rest of the characters' lives.
The sub-boards within this board serve a variety of purposes. One is for RPing out or just writing about an event in your character's past; and the second is for people who have open posts they would like replied to.
People have various means of communication, whether it be through texting, phone calls, instant messaging, or something else; because we can't always be face-to-face when we want to convey a message, right?
This is where the Little Black Books for male characters go. Inside them, anything character-related, including cell phones, photo albums, plot charts, journals, and mp3 playlists.

There are numerous places to eat and drink in the city, ranging from bars to little cafe`s to Starbucks and ethnic foods. No matter what your tastes in food, you're sure to find something you'll like amongst the numerous places to eat in Detroit.
After the hustle and bustle of living in Detroit, everyone needs a place to just chill and hang out with friends. There are plenty of places around the city to do that, including (but not limited to) a mall and night club.
When an emergency happens, someone will be there to help. The Fire Station, Police Station, and Hospital are situated in the center of the city, ten minutes, tops, from any point in the city. Staff of all three buildings are ready to handle anything that comes their way.
Whether or not your job requires physical fitness, keeping active and participating in sports activities is a big part of life. Inside are just a few of the many ways for people to get active, including paintball, swimming, and more.
Every city has a few places that are shadier than the rest of the city- places where crime is more common, or that just have a thicker air of general evil surrounding them. These places typically repel law-abiding citizens, and attract their polar opposites.
These are just some other interesting places and things to do for people- including an amusement park, a museum, and an aquarium. They're places for extra activities and things, so have fun around here.
Anywhere else. If there is somewhere you want to RP that doesn’t have its own board, post here. But make sure you say where it is, so people don’t get confused. It can be in or out of town, somewhere more or less populated. It doesn’t even have to be in the same country. Anywhere, really.
Located in the hospital's rather large multi-purpose room, this ball is an annual event for the hospital to raise money for research, and also for community outreach. Anyone, whether they work at the hospital or not, is invited to come. There are tables and chairs set up for people to sit at, and waitstaff will serve a meal before the auctioning off of hospital staff for dates. There is also a dance floor in the middle of the room, for anyone so inclined. Music will be playing. And remember this is formal.
This can be any apartment- big or small- anywhere in the city. They very greatly from one building to the other, with some being giant and others impossibly tiny. Some have one bedroom, others three, some have a balcony, others don’t. It all depends on what building you live in.
For those with more normal incomes, or that have not won the lottery or come across a large inheritance, there are the various communities. They are normal urban neighborhoods, with the typical homes; two or (sometimes) three floors, maybe a basement and attic as well, with small-to-medium-sized yards. They vary in color, but are all pretty close in size.
This small motel is “home” to both tourists who don’t want to stay at a resort, and locals who don’t want a house or regular apartment- or can't afford one. The rooms are either one or two beds, with bathrooms that have barely enough room to move, with a toilet, small shower/bathtub combo, and sink. It isn't the best place to live, especially if you don't live alone.
New here? Come say hi, tell us who you are and get to know others. You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to, but we’d love to get to know our members. Also, if you’re leaving on vacation, have been grounded, or are outright quitting, post here so we don’t think you’ve dropped off the face of the Earth.
Admit it- RPGs aren't all about the characters. In the OOC area, there are plenty of things for the members to do while waiting for acceptance, or in-between RP posts. Come in here to request custom character pics, participate in a forum game or contest, or just chat with other members.
Here are our forum games and contests. Check back every once in a while for games such as "count to 1000", or contests with prizes. Anyone can start a game, but only staff may start contests. Contests will have prizes of varying degrees, from either a specially-formatted display name or something to that effect.
