This is for recruitment for an RP called Breakout.
The premise is that your characters are prisoners being transported from jail to the state pen. You're each looking at hard time, and this is your last ride outside the gray walls of correctional facilities. Once you arrive, you're essentially going to be removed from the planet for anywhere from 10 years to possibly the rest of your life.
You're making the trip in a specially equipped van. There are two guards. One (male, balding, in his 40s) is driving. The second (female, 30-something, not bad looking) is standing watch as the van winds its way into the foothills of a mountain range. It's a routine trip, and just so there's no funny business, each of you is locked to a bar running along the bottom of the van with an 18" long chain and ankle bracelet. You can move at most a couple feet from your seat. The windows are bulletproof safety glass. The male guard is utterly humorless, devoid of personality. The female guard is named Erica, and has chatted with you some. She has a daughter in high school, and another in college, and is looking forward to going on a cruise next month.
Then the best-laid plans of mice and the State Board of Corrections went to shit.
As the van came around a corner, a rockslide came into view about fifty feet ahead. The driver cursed, slamming on the brakes, but the van was traveling too fast. It struck a few boulders ranging in size from softballs to beach balls, and two wheels lost traction. The van fishtailed, ending up ass-first, going off the road, onto a downwards slope, falling into its side and sliding before thunking into a tree.
And that is the point where the story begins...and your characters will have a chance at freedom on the lam.
A few things about this story:
* This is a GM-led story. Certainly I'll try and work in scenes and situations you would like to encounter, but this isn't an every-person-for-himself adventure. I control the world your characters adventure in.
* This will be a hardcore, gritty story. Each of your characters are a hardened criminal. Not nice people. The degree of evil will vary from person to person, but y'all didn't get where you are today helping old ladies carry their groceries or volunteering in homeless shelters. (N.B.: It's fine for your characters to have redeeming qualities and soft spots; when I say they're evil I don't mean cardboard, black-hat one-dimensional evil.)
* There will be all kinds of sexual situations. Any character of mine you encounter is ripe for the taking (though some can bite back; read more for that). Non-con sex scenes are expected. Violence is expected. That being said...
* Your characters are mortal. Moreover, they are engaged in the dangerous business of trying to stay on the run. I'll grant that they have anywhere from a couple to six or seven ranks in Badass, but they're not invulnerable comic-book villains. Do something stupid, and realistic consequences will follow. Even if you're not stupid, you could get unlucky. This isn't GTA.
* Your characters can make friends as well as enemies on the outside. And you'll need allies (willing or coerced). Shoot at everything that moves, and the story will be over quickly.
* Your immediate objective is survival. Of course, you want pleasure too. And other objectives will appear, as in any other adventure.
* I'm looking for at least mostly male characters as PCs. My characters will be a mix (as in the real world).
