CANONS - CITIZENS

POLICE CHIEF -taken by asya- Face: Benedict Cumberbatch What is a world without law and order? Chaos — and that’s exactly what the Police Chief is intent on controlling. Or are they? The Police Chief’s true motives remain elusive to the general public, which is exactly what the Police Chief wants. Nobody’s quite sure what the Chief does with their time, and the few who do almost never speak of the horrors that awaited them at Induction or during Re-education, the two systems personally run and overseen by the Police Chief themselves. They’re the closest a citizen will ever come to being in direct communication with the Government, but even they have to go through the Mayor, a position they’ve watched be filled and refilled many times over. In person, they’re professional, if a bit distant, but behind closed doors — well, there’s a reason the Police Chief has kept their job for so long, and they intend to keep things just as they are. NOTE: Like all Police officers, this canon will have eyes that glow at night, and sharp teeth. RADIO STATION MANAGEMENT Suggested face: Morgan Freeman or Whoopi Goldberg (must be poc) Essentially, the voice’s handler. They are appointed by the Government (though notably, have only ever communicated with them via phone or letters) to keep watch over the voice of Ewing, and ensure that they stay on script. It is their job to report back to the Government with anything unusual said or done by the voice. The voice has no clue that they are doing this. As a side job with less importance, it is also up to them to ensure that the station is running efficiently. They also manage the extra stuff, such as interns, engineers or cleaners. They are a highly intimidating individual, but with a very well managed facade of compassion and understanding: There’s always an edge to it though. They’re the kind of person who can threaten your life and livelihood with a warm smile and a gentle hand on the shoulder. INDUCTION OFFICER #1 Suggested face: John Cho or Lee Si-young (must be of asian descent) When #1 was young, they thought that the Outsiders were aliens coming down from outer space, and was inherently distrustful of them. This hasn’t changed, though they’re a little quieter on the whole “they’re aliens!” thing. They do their job thoroughly and with great diligence, ensuring each outsider brought to them is well-suited for life in Ewing before releasing them. If they don’t pass the tests? Well, they have clearance from the Government and Chief of Police to dispose of anyone who doesn’t fit the bill… better safe than sorry, after all. NOTE: Like all Police officers, this canon will have eyes that glow at night, and sharp teeth. INDUCTION OFFICER #2 Suggested face: Mads Mikkelsen or Rachel McAdams #2 does not like outsiders. Not one bit. Their callous refusal to see them as on par with a Ewing native is exactly why they were chosen for the induction program. They will not give someone a pass due to a sob story or a pretty face; only once the outsider is fully ‘programmed’ to the ways of Ewing will they release them. Their methods are a little harsh, even #1 is sometimes taken aback… but the Chief of Police appreciates their thorough methods. #2 has a 90% success rate, with only 10% of their Outsiders being sent for termination. They turn out the most obedient new citizens. NOTE: Like all Police officers, this canon will have eyes that glow at night, and sharp teeth. RE-EDUCATION OFFICER #1 Suggested face: Naomie Harris or Will Smith (must be poc) A charming smile and an outstretched palm- this is how #1 brings in their 'patients’ most of the time. However, they’re not above chasing someone down and dragging them to the station by force if need be. They’re the the head officer (under the Chief of Police, of course)- and when they’re not re-educating errant citizens, they’re patrolling the streets. They prefer the more “elegant” forms of re-education, using the elements of water, air and of course electricity to get the required result. NOTE: Like all Police officers, this canon will have eyes that glow at night, and sharp teeth. RE-EDUCATION OFFICER #2 Suggested face: Daniel Craig or Romola Garai #2 is a little more brash than their counterpart, and prefer a more “hands on” approach to their work in the re-education department. They use a combination of brute force, neglect (starvation, days spent alone in the dark and the cold/heat) and the typical electricity to get through to their “patients”. They have little compassion when it comes to doing their work, but outside of the re-education room they’re perfectly genial. If anyone dared to speculate, they might wonder about the mental stability of #2. Nobody dares to speculate. NOTE: Like all Police officers, this canon will have eyes that glow at night, and sharp teeth. SINGER Suggested face: Carey Mulligan or Toby Maguire One of Ewing’s most prized celebrities. With a golden voice and a demure public persona; they won the hearts of the townsfolk fairly swiftly. Nobody can quite recall when the singer became so popular or, indeed, where they came from: all anyone knows for sure now is that they definitely own every album and single that the singer has put out. It might have something to do with the fact that they are the only musical artist that the Government fully backs. It’s rumoured (or it would be, if anyone dared) that their songs contain coded messages, or subliminal instructions to the citizens of Ewing. They frequently appear on Delaney’s radio program in person or via recorded media. PROSTITUTE Suggested face: Hannah Tointon or Tom Hiddleston Every town has a town hooker, right? I kid, this lovely creature is simply the Mayor’s favourite when it comes to casual, paid sex. Unbeknownst to the Mayor, however, this darling is not all they appear to be. While they do indeed make quite the healthy living through sleeping with not-so-strangers for cold hard cash, they also make a bit extra on the side by reporting back to the Police chief on the Mayor’s activities and thoughts. It’s going to get someone into a lot of trouble one day… but which of the three? Time will tell. RADIO INTERN Suggested face: Lisa Greenwood or Joshua Maguire The assistant to the voice. It is their job to do all the footwork- going out into the 'field’ and reporting back on what they have seen or heard (usually, all for nothing due to the clairvoyance of the voice themselves.) It is also their job to get the food and coffee and just… well, the grunt work basically. The most exciting (and secretive) part of their daily duties is the fact that they have to report back to the management anything that they have seen or heard with the voice that is out of the usual. Perhaps it feels like a bit of a betrayal, considering how fond of them the voice has become… but it’s a living. it’s for the greater good, after all.

CANONS - GOVERNMENT

LEADER Note: Possibility for dual face claims (suggested: meryl streep + peter capaldi) whereby they reserve one for their time in the government building, and wear the other face when out and about in Ewing. The leader of the Government is the individual with the deciding vote. While the title is never officially used, this person is essentially Ewing’s dictator. Once upon a time they had seemingly endless amounts of money, which they used to buy a plot of land. That plot of land is now Ewing, a hidden town that governs itself entirely independently of the American Government. They are highly secretive, keeping their identity as the leader hidden from the citizens of Ewing. Whatever their reasons are for keeping Ewing so isolated and trapped in the 20s… they’re not about to tell- and everyone who knows them is far too afraid to ask. After all, the last person to question them was never heard from again… CO-LEADER #1 Suggested: Marion Cotillard or Joel Egerton As a leader of Government, Co-Leader #1 lives a life of secrecy. They have no family, as is tradition (or it would be, if anyone before them had occupied their position) and their friends and neighbours have no idea that they are so close to a member of Government. Co-Leader #1 enjoys the finer points of the modern age, and indulges frequently when at work in the modern fashions and has grown quite fond of a few TV shows available on the updated technology in the Government building. In order to not appear complacent however, they have shown a great interest in the Induction program, and make it a point to observe almost all of the sessions when a new Outsider is brought in. When they’re out on the streets, they tend to hunt down these Outsiders themselves and force “accidental” interaction. CO-LEADER #2 Suggested: Idris Elba or Viola Davis (must be poc) As a leader of Government, Co-Leader #2 lives a life of secrecy. They have no family, as is tradition (or it would be, if anyone before them had occupied their position) and their friends and neighbours have no idea that they are so close to a member of Government. Co-Leader #2 distrusts the outside world. They don’t like the new technology and they don’t like the new cuisine. They stick firmly to the old ways, the true ways, and often can be found arguing with #1 over what’s right for Ewing. They’re arguably the closest to the Leader in terms of ‘friendship’ (or as close as they can get), and technically outrank #1 (though you’d never hear anyone saying such a thing… after all, all co-leaders are equal.). #2 has a particular interest in the re-education program, and observe quite a few sessions personally, posing as a guard usually. CO-LEADER #3 -reserved for Alex-

Face: Dominic West

As a leader of Government, Co-Leader #3 lives a life of secrecy. They have no family, as is tradition (or it would be, if anyone before them had occupied their position) and their friends and neighbours have no idea that they are so close to a member of Government. Co-Leader #3 is as close to the “fun” member of Government that you’re going to get. They’re the one most in contact with the Mayor, and the one who technically organises all of the major events and benefits (through sending strong hints and suggestions to the Mayor, who then does all of the actual work). #3 is also a severe alcoholic, though somehow this vice has yet to affect their efficiency at work. The last person to suggest that they get help found themselves going through a particularly nasty course of re-education therapies. CO-LEADER #4 Suggested: Samuel L Jackson or Angela Bassett (must be poc) As a leader of Government, Co-Leader #4 lives a life of secrecy. They have no family, as is tradition (or it would be, if anyone before them had occupied their position) and their friends and neighbours have no idea that they are so close to a member of Government. Co-Leader #4 is a very difficult person to understand. They keep everything so close to their chest that it’s arguable only the Leader truly knows them. After all, nobody can hide anything from the Leader. #4 takes a particular interest in the Radio Station, and listens to every single broadcast either live, or through recordings later on. It is they that usually drafts and sends the scripts through to the Management of the station, and they that get the angriest when said script is deviated from. THE VOICE -taken by Toby- Face: Ben Whishaw The voice of Ewing, and the only radio host it has; Quentin Delaney serves as the voice of the Government. While he himself has absolutely no say, nor swing in the politics of the town- he is the one who tells the news, who gives updates on law and policy… who tells things as they are (or rather, how he’s told they are). It doesn’t always go to plan, his innate curiosity combined with the gift of the third eye mean that sometimes he goes a little off script… THE MAYOR

Suggested Face: Hugh Jackman or Scarlett Johansson The face of Ewing. The Mayor actually has no political power whatsoever. Much like the voice, they’re simply there to further disguise the true rulers of Ewing from the public eye. They’re the one who take press conferences, throw benefits and parties… and the one who resides over any public trials. Their job is not an easy one, for the turnover of Mayoral candidates is quite high… they only got the job a year ago, after their predecessor went mysteriously missing one afternoon.

CHARACTER SPOTLIGHT

Fintan Travers - Chief of Police - Benedict Cumberbatch

Played by Asya Not much is known about Ewing’s Chief of Police. He seems to have his own agenda, though of course- has loyalty to the Government. As with all members of the Police force, his eyes glow at night, and his teeth are seemingly filed to sharp points. Fashion choice, or born with it?

There is a possibility for there to be a “soft opening” for our followers here! The skin is not yet done and the templates (apart from the application) will not be final. What do you guys think of this? Message me if you’re keen on this idea!

THE RULES

Going to keep this short and sweet, we all know the generic rules of a rpg by now. 1. Please treat everyone (members and staff alike) with respect and compassion. If you act like a dick, you'll be kicked out. Simple as that. 2. There is no set word count, but we'd like you to try and post at least 100 words per post, and try to match your thread partner if possible. 3. We have a -5/+5 rule on ages for face claims, but special circumstances can and will be taken into consideration if you message an admin (toby or asya). 4. Avatars are ____ and we do not allow signatures. 5. There is no real rule on activity but we expect at least a post a week, especially if you have more than one character. You will need at least 1 post per month to pass the activity checks. 6. All we ask between making characters is 5 decent-length (not rapid fire) IC posts with your previous character. 7. Tag mature threads. We're not premium yet, so don't get too gritty.

#skin isn't done yet so we don't know how big the avatars will be #siteinfo #rules
