conversations.value: The year is 2045, in the not-so-distant future. As the world screams into it's Third Industrial Revolution, it leaves behind a trail of devastation. The resource wars have come and gone, with nuclear scars in the middle east, North Korea and South America. The European Union has become a single political entity, encompassing every state from Portugal to Poland. Russia reabsorbed the Ukraine and it's other western neighbors, then fractured, becoming the Republic of Northern Socialist States. Corruption still rules Central America. And the African countries have become united under a dictator, taking on the name of the United African Union, and ruled under an iron fist.
  
  Amidst the chaos of an evolving society, and from the ashes of a once-great empire, a new city was formed on the east coast of the U.S. Your city. Hades City.
  
  An independent entity, it's purpose was as a haven, for refugees of all kinds, from those fleeing dictators and drug lords to those running from a more... economic persecution. Unfortunately, some things are inescapable; as these extremes washed onto Hades City's shores, their crime, poverty and injustice followed.
  
  To an outsider, the city's gleaming skyscrapers and new-paved streets promise a better life for those able to make the trip. But to those trapped in it's embrace, the name proves all too apt - for as Hades was the god of wealth, he was also the god of greed - and of death.

  This is a heist roleplay in a colorful, dystopian city. It is inspired by films such as those in the Mission Impossible, Oceans, Matrix, and the Need for Speed franchises, as well as the worlds of John Wick and Looper. In other media, a good example of the type of world I've tried to build would be that of the game Mirror's Edge, with elements of Cyberpunk 2077. If you've ever enjoyed playing or watching any of these franchises, this roleplay is for you.
  
  An emphasis was placed on setting during creation, and I'd like to exploit this by introducing lots of moving parts as we go along. Not all parts of the story will be explored, and minor characters will come and go.
  
  I'm looking for 4 characters in total, and will be functioning solely as a GM. I have roles in mind, but leave individual traits to your imagination. The simple setup: you live in this world, and are staying in Hades. Whether down on your luck, exceptionally skilled or paying off an old debt, you've been hired for the heist of a lifetime - the type that, if you succeed, can make all your old problems disappear.

conversations.value: Hades City: A city of science, progress, and like the rest of it's time, corruption. Gangs rule the poorest streets, and the dollar rules the rest. It's a refugee haven and a business opportunity, but make no mistake; the streets and jobs here are as dangerous as they are in the rest of the world.

conversations.value: The East Blocks: Bordering the commercial district , stretching across the Hades River and hemmed in by the Fringe and Dis, the East Blocks represent the working class of Hades City. Small businesses dot it's streets, with suburbs and condos housing the city's millions of residents.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Central Commercial District: Making up the east side of the city is the Hades Commercial District. Rivaled only by New York, Hong Kong and Beijing, the skyscrapers of this district touch the clouds, with sky-trams and skywalks running in a maze between the buildings and above the avenues. Many of the world's largest corporations call this district home.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The West Blocks: The West Blocks are separated from the rest of Hades by an artificial split in the Hades River, the huge island packed with skyscrapers and villas straight out of the 22nd century. Here are the homes of the world's super-wealthy and famous.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Slums, Dis: Situated in a band on the north end of the city, the lights and sounds of the East and West Blocks are daydreams to Dis. Hundreds of thousands of poor refugees flood the streets of this slum, syndicates around the world compete for business here, and a military police force patrols the street in armored trucks.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The Fringe: Technically within the legal limits of Hades City is the outer band of the Fringe. Acres of wild forest insulate the city from the rest of the U.S., stocked with exotic game by the rich and dotted by their futuristic mansions.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Brain: You are the brain. When it comes to knowing what's what and how to do it, you're the person to ask. As such, like it or not, you're probably the first person who's blamed when something goes wrong.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The Muscle: You are the muscle. When something needs hit, you're the one that punches it. You may like this job or you may hate it, but the fact is, you're damn good at it.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Specialist: You are the specialist. Talented and efficient. Where the Muscle is the sledgehammer, you are the scalpel. When the situation requires finesse, or when something goes wrong, the team turns to you.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The Expert: You are the expert. You know everything there is to know about computers and the human psyche. You can assemble and disassemble an engine block in the space of an hour, and memorize maps at a glance.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Leader: You are the leader. You're the one who's gotten this team together, and the one who organizes the jobs. Whether you're new or a veteran, you're large and in charge.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The Infiltrator: You are the infiltrator. You're here because you know people, and places. Information is valuable, and you're this team's rat. You know what's going on, and you know how to get in and out. Without you, the plan falls apart.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Go-Getter: Money doesn't buy happiness, so you'll just have to rent it. You're in this for the big bucks, and are ready to do whatever it takes to never worry about money again.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Ambitious: It's a long way to the top, and you're already climbing. You're trying to be the best in your field, tired of admiring the high life from outside, or maybe you want to run things. This heist is just another step.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Strict: Discipline is what separates humans from animals. Whether you were raised in a military life or just don't see the need for unnecessary chatter, you're not one for lenience.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Cautious: If one step forward means taking two steps back, it's better to go slow than to have your foot caught in a trap.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Experienced: You bear the scars of a world in turmoil. No matter if you're just plying your expertise or trying to escape your past ghosts, you're a veteran.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Athletic: You're strong and athletic, with a powerful physique capable of scaling a building or maybe knocking out some guards.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Intelligent: You're smart enough to think your way out of most situations. Your GPA might be high or you might just be going off of gut instinct, but either way, your brain hasn't failed you yet.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Charismatic: When you talk, people listen. You might be wooing an attractive opposite at a bar or talking your way past a receptionist - words are some of your best weapons.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Lucky: You might seem to wander into and out of precarious situations like it's nothing, but a real soldier of fortune knows how to make their own luck.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Perceptive: You have the eyes and ears of a hawk - and more importantly, know when things are about to go bad.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Confident: You know how to fake it 'til you make it. Studies show that people won't question your presence if you look like you're supposed to be there. And you should believe me, because I told you that.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Lazy: Just let someone else do it.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Dishonest: Lying isn't always a bad thing, but being inherently dishonest can get you into some pretty bad situations.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Cowardly: You're not here to fight. Or to be anywhere near the fight. Or to talk about the fight. Or to think about fighting.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Rude: Just because you're holding someone hostage doesn't mean you have to be an ass about it. That said, you're still kinda being an ass about it.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Impulsive: Ooh, shiny.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Conceited: It's like being rude, but it's being rude while secure in the knowledge that you're also a certified wine taster.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Rookie: You're new at this. You don't really want that to define who you are on this job, but there are some things that research and gear might not be able to bring.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Meeting Point: You were given an address and a time, and not much else. Arriving, you find an enormous warehouse dropped into the center of the Fringe, empty and quiet in the midnight air.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The Contact: He's deliberately hiding his face behind a synthetic, generic mask. He speaks with an accent you can't place, but definitely isn't from North America.  You know he's from a syndicate called The Eastern Kings, and that he's the only one who knows what's going on.

conversations.from: human
conversations.value: This Place Is Huge!: And dark. Pallets stacked with sheet metal, unmarked canisters and cabling line enormous shelves that stretch to the ceiling. Boxes sit around them, filled with everything from scrap metal to children's toys. You need to figure out where you are.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Check In: You apparently came in the right entrance, and find yourself in a meeting office. The wooden walls, floors and table are probably worth more than your car. Your contact sits at the other end of the table, shrouded, surrounded by private security.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Job: You open the envelopes to reveal details - plans, summaries, maps, blueprints, and, most importantly, a large wad of cold, hard cash.
  (Infer from documents)
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Cash: Cold, hard, untraceable, mostly in hundreds. All in all, about $10,000 in cash.
  
  (If you "spend" less than the total denomination, I will give you a new item with a general remainder.)

conversations.value: Empire Coffee, Tea and Spritzes: A modern, perhaps-too-expensive coffee shop in West Hades. Serving only the finest in synthetic coffees, imported teas and booster-drinks!
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The First Plan: With just under 36 hours left until your window of opportunity, now's the time to figure out where you're going first. Whatever you decide on, it'll likely take all day.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Get to know each other: When you're going to risk life and limb with someone, it's probably a good idea that you get to know them first.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Dis Police Chief: You're the head of the law enforcement regiment in the slums. The streets are hard and the criminals harder, and you're effectively the leader of a private army.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Professional Athlete: You came to the city for the games, and ended up sticking around. If there's one thing Hades is good for, it's luxury for those who can afford it.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Charming: You keep it cool, calm, collected, and most of all, friendly. You can get on the good side of just about anyone, and that makes you a hard read.

conversations.value: Reckless: When you've burned through your nine lives and then some, confidence tends to become overconfidence.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Be Prepared: You believe in doing your homework, but no plan survives first contact with the enemy.

conversations.value: Navigational Skills: Part of being a spy is knowing how to get to where you want to go.

conversations.value: Coward: That's why you went into espionage instead of combat!
