Court of Night OOC Fri Jun 29, 2012 7:37 am

~My name is James, and I go to Reith high school in New York City. I’m a seventeen year old male, and no one in school knows who I am. I am also a Baron Lord in the Court of Night. You DO know what the Court of Night is right? The underground masquerade game that started out a dice and maps rp game that quickly evolved into the biggest second life physical game in the world. The game has its own government system, enforcement system, laws, and hierarchy. Everyone, no matter their age starts out the same. A Human with an invite to the join the Court, everyone has to be invited or you can’t play. When I say this game is played by everyone, my school did a survey at the beginning of year. Sixty percent of the ENTIRE student body admitted to not just playing Court of Night, but living it every second of the day. Another Twenty percent said they got a test invite but not a full fledge invite and wanted one. Ten percent chose not to answer. Five percent said they didn’t for religion reasons, and the last five percent said they play part time. In the Court there are a few major rules, 1) Never cross reality with the Court. Meaning if you break a law and are punished for it in the Court, you don’t go the cops. And even if you do, you cannot press charges, because you signed a legal document of nonaggression and waving you rights to press charges against another member, that it must be handled in house. 2) Always take issues up with your head of your house; they have full legal authority to handle things. 3) Enjoy it.
Since the Court came to be, violent crime has become nonexistent, and even if it happens the Court handles it. Prisons are at an all-time low, streets are safer, and things that used to scare people are fading from memory. The economy is on the rise, and hostilities between nations have reached an all-time low. All because of a game invented for teenagers that as over then the world. The ultimate punishment for breaking the laws set by your Prince or Baron or Lord, or the Game Laws is being blacklisted. To be Blacklisted means no one associated with game will accept you as living person. Your name and character will be exposed and every Club, Bar, Party, Gathering, Group, Bloodline, Family, Pack, Royal Court, anything with the Court will reject you. In the history of the game, less than one hundred people have been blacklisted.
The Court is divided up by “Houses” each house is a Race. You can be anything, even founding your House. There are millions, the largest houses have a few hundred thousand people in them, but every City is divided out into regions, every region has a Baron Lord/Baroness Lady, who is the ultimate power within that section, every City is controlled by a Prince/Princess, and every State by a King/Queen. Some states like Texas, California, and Alaska have more than one King/Queen. New York has three, and New York City hosts two of them, as well as four Princes/Princesses. Everyone is their own being, however you must make sure your race can survive where you live, and that your House doesn’t have a blood feud. Kings/Queens pick Princes/Princess, and Princes/Princesses pick Baron Lords/Baroness Lady’s. From there, the structure is able to manipulation. Take Texas for example there, animalistic races are popular. I heard after the Barons they have Pack alphas, betas, enforces, members, and dirge. Every hierarchy has a role like the dirge. They are normally “humans” that join to become sex slaves. Advances in medical due to funding increase due to lack of military spend have cure most diseases. STDs, Cancers, viral infections, all things of past, Dirge is the only role you have to take willingly, because you have to sign a consent form saying that no matter what, you cannot cry rape. This has led to some issues, because a boy was beaten half to death by a man once for saying ‘no’ the man was found in the same condition only much worse. He didn’t survive. No charges were filed, and no one cared. The boy, is now a Baron Lord. With that being said, I extend to you, an invitation to join the Court of Night, become a member of my barony see what life is like, when you live at night. ~
This rp, will work on 12 hour sets, starting at 5am, ending at 5pm, then 5pm to 5am. 12 hours in the rp is 48 irl, you need to post as often as possible or have a valid excuse. School life is as much a part of this as the Court life, because the Court doesn’t start until 6pm and goes until 6 am. School starts at 7am, and lets outs at two thirty. In this world, everything expect places of the Court shut down at six or so, and no one works at a Court place unless they have a background to run it. The Court, is a worldwide organization, its technically woks as its own international country, the UN and every country in the world has accepted it as such, therefore, no one has jurisdiction over it anymore expect the High Kings/Queens, and the ones that govern countries, they handle things too big for the state leaders. This is not a playable role in the rp.
The template is for you have fun with; remember there wouldn’t be a set template for the game. However here, you much create one for both sides of your character. And keep in mind your “Character” will actually have to do things. I.e. a Vampire will have to feed. However, if you create a vampire that feeds on sexual energy, then you get off –in more ways than one- but a Lycan will have to eat raw meets during hunts, same with most animalistic characters, remember you can’t get illnesses anymore so everything is safe, drugs included.
The Rp will mostly take place in New York, and at Reith High school, the Court parts anywhere that is a Court place. I.e. Clubs Bars, etc. etc. etc Many, Many, many, people make more money for the court than there actual jobs. Because Barons take taxes from everyone in there baronies, Princes tax barons, Kings Tax princes. It’s not uncommon to see millionaire children. And almost everyone works in the Court, dirges get paid for their job –yes they are basically whores, but insanely respected ones- , and one that does an official job assigned by there baron gets paid a week salary. Everyone else does hunts, bounties, etc etc etc. This is an entire world beneath the normal one. One that fix the problems and effectively destroyed world poverty and war, eliminated middle and low class, and proved teens and children can lead as well as adults. Welcome to the Court of Night, ready to play?
