This police unit specializes in covert ops and was originally formed as an anti-terrorist team. However with the terrorist threat currently at a low status the team has been reassigned to political and high level industrial espionage cases.<br/><br/><strong>#5) School of Shadows</strong> <br/><br/>The school though has a mysterious past and secret which will gradually be revealed as the story goes on. The setting needs to be Japanese because of the unusual events surrounding the school. Some of the characters will need to be primed by the GMs to have certain things happen to them, so a fair bit of information would be handed out via PMs. All the characters are students; the classes are just background setting, a couple of teachers will be NPC'd by the GMs.<br/><br/>I see this as a <em>really</em> long term game, with a lot of investment in character development and relationships. In the original game the kids are in the first year of high school so aged 15 and while there is romance, and some kissing and cuddling there is no sex.<br/><br/>We could focus on the strange story behind the school and play this in the non-adult section. I think too much sexual activity could detract from the story a little.<br/><br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I love all of these ideas to be perfectly honest, and would be overjoyed to take part in any one of them!  I must admit that I'm especially partial to<strong>Section 9</strong>, if only due to my fascination with Shirow's universe.  I actually got the second season of the show in the mail just the other day, and will probably be browsing through it over the next week or two.  I think there's a lot of potential for some really heavy, interesting material there, and it would certainly satisfy just about any player that errs on the action side of things.<br/><br/>I also really like the<strong>School of Shadows</strong>plot, because it looks as though it's already a proven success of a group roleplay done<em>right</em>.  I think the lack of smut might have actually helped it in the long run.  And I'm not afraid to admit that I'm a fan of soft lovey-dovey stuff instead of full on sex scenes, and I see plenty of room for absolutely adorable scenes in between high school sleuthing and mysterious antics.  Even if no one else here seems enthralled by it, if you ever think about starting the game up again on Elliquiy you shouldn't hesitate to ask me to help out!<br/><br/>NORT is a clever way of reconciling the contemporary setting with our (read: my!) love of more science fiction and fantasy elements.  Though it sounds like more of a smut-based game, the premise is intriguing enough to get me hooked.
