The Yard [A Brawler's Paradise, A GM Thread] O/A

[Better than Worst]

+++The Yard is a roleplay that brings out the worse in the characters. This place is about true freedom. Freedom away from all the rules, cultures, and niceties that the average Gaian has come to expect from their fellow residents. Here? There's nothing of the sorts. If someone pisses you off you go ahead and punch them in the face. Threats are like water. Fights are like the air. It doesn't matter who you are or what you are. Here you are fair game. We've earned our freedom. We are who we truly want to be an allow no one to take that from us. No one to tell us what to do and no one expects us to do anything. We are the ones that make our own rules, and for the most of us? There are no rules other than eat or be eaten. We welcome you in evolving to the next step. Becoming truly free from the shackles society has placed on you. We welcome you to...

The Yard.

The Yard

+++Located on the outskirts of Durem, a hub of major activity, is a relatively peaceful surroundings. Well, that is, until you stumble upon the junkyard that runs amok on acres upon acres of land. This junkyard has been taken over by the Front of the Armament for their own use. Everywhere is the dead carcasses of old cars and motorcycles, trains and airplanes, and all manner of other random junk you'd find in a junkyard. Of course due to the arrangements that brought about it's previous destruction there are still massive holes from the hellfire rain and melted car parts everywhere. Though, the one thing missing is the junkyard "pitbull", but this may be the fact that The Armament have taken over the land for their own nefarious schemes. The front gate now bearing a sign that says "A Brawler's Paradise: All welcomed!". What does this mean?

+++Within the middle of this giant junkyard is a group of trailers all together. Multitudes of them surround a huge fire hole, that on which they, quite often, start bonfires in. From there you can see the multiple collers that will be filled with ice and have their beer and alcohol in. Hell, some of these are even overturned refrigerators. This is the main staging point for TFOA, and it is in this location that they accept the new bloods and visitors. Beer and alcohol readily available.

+++That is, indeed, where The Front hangs out, but they have recently opened up the yard for the rest of Gaia Primus. Since then there's more beer and alcohol available, more drugs available. Since the yard is now open for the public. There won't be no dirty looks. No wondering why the frag a stranger showed up. They're all congregating for the same reason. To show what they're made of and to get rid of that gentlemanly appearance and demeanor. To let the true beast forth in a good old fist fight. Powers are even welcome amongst it. Just make sure blood is spilled.

+++Where do these fights take place one would say? It's a paradise for brawling. Everything is to be used as a fighting ground from the top of the car stacks to the firepit itself. To the trailers that house some of the more ruthless and dangerous fighters. Everything is a weapon and everything is fair game. That's why this place has become a Brawler's Paradise.

The Front of Armament

+++Welcome to T.F.O.A, or in other words The Front of Armament. We are an organization that brings violence to a whole new level. Yes, we are a gang, and yes, we are all troublemakers, but we hold our own and have a good time while doing it. The first generation was founded by the infamous Dzan Strea who thought it was time for a change, and he'd bring that to the fore.

+++However, early in his endeavors the Gaian Gods saw to unjustly rain down hellfire upon the gang's turf leaving no trace behind. Not one to be thwarted by the Gods, Dzan simply picked up the pieces and started anew with the Second Generation.

+++Generations have died and come back. Dzan leaving and returning anew. Yet, there was one thing that never beat the test of time. The Front of Armament's members left and new recruits dwindled. Though, Dzan, refusing to allow the TFOA to fade into legend would open the yard to all. No one is barred, powers or not, into that of a brawler's haven. Fighting is welcomed at all times and dying even more welcomed. Just remember, you're still on The Front's turf.

Clarifications
These are subject to alteration at any moment needed.

1. We do not hate you. We do not hate your place. We are playing our characters and our characters love to destroy the place. If you want to talk something over do not flip your s**t. PM Ebag the II for clarifications. If he is not on resort to the next leader. Or the one leading the raid.

2. No. We do not need your consent to kill of your character. You want to fight you take the chances of dying. We are not people who will coddle you. We will accept death if it happens to even our own characters. Though, this rule is subject to change depending on what thread we are in due to the thread creator's own rules.

3. No, we are not bad guys in real life. Like #1 says, we are playing our characters. Do not mix the two.

4. We will continue to do hits. If you consider it harassment or abuse resort to PMing Ebag the II or the leader that is currently on(resort to LTs). If you are indeed feeling taken advantage of we will call off the hit and leave you alone.

5. No, we do not "cheat". What ******** THE RULES! means is that we will use weapons, we will gang up on you, we will kick you on the ground, and we will maim you until you beg for mercy. We do not break the basic tenets of "no godmodding" and the likes.

Gaia Mainstream Short Description and Affiliates

+++Gaia Mainstream is an idea created by opaj. What is Gaia Mainstream you may ask? It's the continuum between threads when one character goes from thread to thread. It's the "world" these threads create outside of their own little bubbles. Gaia Mainstream is an idea that is to combine threads so each can throw off their little bubbles and collaborate with the world at a large. No more romance in one thread only to not exist in another. No more death in one thread to not exist in another. Or any other thoughts and experiences that could cross the boundaries of threads. This is to combine the threads at large and create an expansive roleplay world and environment.

+++I, Ebag the II, pledge to support the rules of Gaia Mainstream and leave this thread open for attacks, events, storylines, and the likes that will and can come through the Yard and involve it's occupants. In fact, I pledge to not only support but to contribute in any way I can to evolve the roleplay experience of not only the writers but the readers that keep track of the roleplays and the storylines that can cross into my thread.
