So, this is more of an interest gauge I guess. Basically, the short and skinny of the campaign is this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Four major crime families, and quite a few gangs have turned Manehatten into a cesspool of crime. Buckleggers illegally cart Hard Cider to Neigh-Easies, ran by the biggest mafia family in the city. Not just that, but strange foods keep finding their ways on the street, getting ponies addicted to their narcotic like effects. And lets not forget the smuggling that is as prevalent as ever, black market goods getting sold to the highest bidder.

The police do nothing, powerless to fight back.

But not everypony is gonna lay there and take it.

A few ponies stand up for themselves, trying to crack down on the crime by going vigilante.

Will you be one of the few?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few story aspects first, put into spoilers to keep this nice and clean.

Not exaclty PI. But I would like players to not be gang members. You can be a renegade cop, or a vigilante, or heck, just a citizen that gets pulled into a fight.

Just tell me what you want to do!

Any character restrictions, or will you take just about anything?

Restrictions? Well, no alicorns, obviously, and no being a member of one of the gangs, not actively a member at least.
Other than that? I mean, no, not really.
I will mention minotaurs are rare, as are diamond dogs, so no more diamond dogs currently since we have one already.

This campaign is starting at level 1, also... Im not digging the dark matter wntity angle on the character. Simply cause of how odd it is, i guess. Do you have any other cs' you want to toss at me to read?

Hm, I have some kind of interest... mostly because I already have a character who might fit: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U3s-zpzmW1rUBbEu6S60rwqI4WSZX2qssL0pULea27k/edit

He's a US Equestrian Marshall, tracks fugitives and assists local police. Just needs a tweak or two (and someone to verify if all of his mechanics are in order) to fit the setting. Tell me what you think.

A cop in this setting is... a bad idea.

And for the minotaur, tis fine, but how do your sense skills have 11, but your sense attribute is only 8?

Looking at his sheet, he's missing two ability points and two training indications. I would imagine Jag's taking Read A Lot twice and forgot to mark his training in his sense skills...

Good thing he's not a cop then. You can consider him the "vigilante" type for the purposes of this setting- say he's tired of the cops not pulling their weight and trying to end the violent crime, so he goes a bit off the books.

I was taking Read A Lot About It once, but misread it as applying to two skills instead of just one. Persuasion is supposed to be trained, but Perception is not. Already fixed it.

The spreadsheet I used to plan this out says the abilities on my sheet total up to 30 points exactly.

A1C, im sorry i misunderstood his concept. It seemed like he was a cop, though I was just skimming his backstory at the time, as I was in a rush. That is my issue. I was going to fast and misunderstood. He... should work?

Jag, if its fixed, den its fine. I was just wondering is all.

And is Paper Shadow joining or just lurking? Curiosity is killing me :3

I will concede, I am torn. I love film noir, I've done projects on it. I've even played a detective character here complete with lingo and internal monologues. But I'm a slow poster with the games I'm in as it is, I'd hate to slow this one down too...

So I thought about it, and I'm interested in joining, but I have little idea what everyone else is doing, both character-wise and build-wise. Could you update the first post with urls to the character sheets?
