So I'm back and starting from scratch. With a little bit of interest shown in Lily's Lounge I thought I'd go ahead and set up this thread to see where everyone's ideas lay.
Soru brought up some good points in how to get this thing going or at least a general plot. I'd like to expand on his idea a little while everyone who's interested brings a little more to the pot.
So before we get started below are a list of the main characters who are no longer with us and therefore unplayable:
DECEASED
=========
Marv - was put on death row and killed by electrocution (the second time "those pansies")
Goldie - killed after a one night stand with Marv.
Lucille - gun downed by police when trying to protect Marv.
Kevin - killed by Marv.
Cardinal Roark - also killed by Marv.
Jackie Boy - killed by the Miho.
Manute - gunned down by the Old Town Girls???
John Hartigan - he commits suicide to protect Nancy.
Roark Jr. /Yellow Bastard - Hartigan did him dirty (Shit yeah).
And on this note the following are characters that either are unknown or alive an kicking, therefore playable:
PLAYABLE / UNKNOWN STATUS
===========================
The Salesman - anyone is welcome to take him on as a character, give him an actual identity outside of his being a hit-man.
Becky (unknown) - they never really tell us what happened to her so, if you want to make up a story and keep her alive I'm game. Just know the Salesman will still be after her.
Wendy - her whereabouts are unknown (I assume) but she was never claimed dead.
Dwight McCarty (playable) - last known info on him is driving off into the night, that leaves room for him to return if need be.
Gail (playable) - current leader of the Old Town Girls in Wendy's absence.
Miho (playable) - the silent enforcer of Old Town, Miho remains unscathed by the violence of Basin City.
Shellie (playable) - still alive and willing to be abused (I assume).
Nancy Callahan (playable) - she's still dancing at Kadie's bar.
Senator Roark (playable) - with his family line severed he's sure to be a pain in everyone's ass.
And just so we don't weed out the other threads of Sin City continuity, I'm well aware of the character Wallace and his yarn of the Sin City world "hell and back", we can easily add him to the roaster along with Esther and Jerry who I've found are the most notable living characters from that plot. You'll have to read up on it yourselves in that aspect. This goes for any other characters not mentioned in the above listings.
Now to move on to the setting we'll cheat this one with a Wiki-link <--- (yeah click that).
This should give you all the information on the various locations of Basin City. As for adding to the city we can do that as we please but I would prefer to leave what is a good thing as is. So elaborating on what's already there is fine but trying to add something unlikely to it, is taboo.
(i.e. the tar pits are part of an abandoned amusement park it's likely there are more places to explore in that park but if there's suddenly a sleeping crime syndicate that arises from some hidden underground facility, I'm not going to buy that... it's a bit moot for me. Lets keep it simply, a small time gang can easily live in the abandoned park, carving out a safe haven for themselves but no underground facilities please... and thank you.)
Alright I should have bored you sufficiently enough with this less then proficient opening but as I stated this is for everyone so ideas are always welcomed.
