We have a 18+ server on Discord where a group of us are RPing in the campy classic Kurt Russell fandom of Escape from NY/Escape from LA. Prior knowledge of the movies is hardly necessary to join in this group rp. We are a chill and all inclusive community where fun is to be had and creativity is the name of the game. And where we hope you’ll find a home and safe space to just hang out and write. Please check out the lore below. If interested, please contact me via discord at AngelWithAShotgun#5084 and we’ll see if we’re a fit for you! Hope to hear from you soon!
BACKSTORY
Anyone familiar with 'Escape From New York' and 'Escape From L.A.' is very familiar with Snake Plissken and how the future of the US has become a crime ridden dystopia. However, the view of 'crime' is in the eye of the beholder to an extent. The US is governed by a president whose term is permanent. His views are radical, putting it mildly. Such things as consuming alcohol, smoking, being an atheist (or any non-Christian religion), eating red meat, etc etc etc get you a one way ticket to prison. However, prison isn't typical any longer. It's not a building with cell blocks or detention halls. It's no longer a facility where criminals are placed depending on the crime. Instead, criminals are placed on one big island surrounded by a containment wall where there is only an entrance, no exit. Police and special forces do not enter the island of criminals. Instead, they surround the perimeter on the other side of the containment wall. Inside the walls, the criminals are allowed free reign to do what they will and thus allowed to make the place their own. Inside it's the rules of the criminals and the criminals vary from what we would deem a true innocent to the truly criminally insane.
The primary setting takes place inside the containment wall where the criminals reign and it'll take place approximately a generation or so AFTER 'Escape from L.A.'. Characters can vary from the innocent to the twisted; they can vie for power over the island of criminals to wanting to just survive to wanting justice for others, to planning to escape, etc.
Additional information: After escaping LA, Snake Plissken shut down the Earth. During the time it takes for the Earth to get back 'up', he goes off the grid and is eventually thought to be dead. Again. Thinking him dead and gone, they build yet another containment wall around another area--the once peninsula, but now island (due to floods from hurricanes) that is part of the city of Miami, FL (extends from Bal Harbor down to Flamingo Lummus). This new jail rivals the ones that still exist in both Manhattan and Los Angeles. Once again, criminals only reside on the island where their rules are the way of life. Police and special forces only patrol the wall that surrounds it and never enter inside. And criminals only go in, they never come out.
Escape from New York is a 1981 American dystopian science fiction action film co-written, co-scored and directed by John Carpenter. It stars Kurt Russell, Lee Van Cleef, Donald Pleasence, Ernest Borgnine, Isaac Hayes, Adrienne Barbeau, and Harry Dean Stanton.
