A Metro RP sounds kind of interesting in my opinion, although it really depends on what the plot is. Would it be based after the 2 games? An Alternate Universe where the events didn't happen? A prequel?
Got an answer for you. ;D
BURDEN
GMed by Watchdog, Kikpanther, Vintage Arachnid
Ten years ago marked the fall of Astrova's President Ivan Sokolsky and the end of a tyrannical government. With the protection of the Astrovian special police, the country has remained strongly independent and peaceful. However, every great nation has an enemy and in recent years they've become bolder in their attempts to destroy Astrova. The anti-Astrovian rebel group (often referred to as the AAs) is lead by the escaped criminal Ethan Sherbert, nicknamed The Catalyst. The AAs are adamant in their attempts to usurp the Astrovian government and have demonstrated their ideals with raiding, assassinations, and mass shootings. Under their new president Shaye Maclomhair the Astrovian government has made attempts to negotiate with the AAs, but have so far had no luck. The rebel group is unwilling to find compromise and thus all negotiations are at a standstill.
You are a new member of the Astrovian special police force, more specifically you are one of the few who guards President Maclomhair. You have only recently left The Academy, a training facility for young girls and boys who are to enlist in the military and protect Astrova. Like your classmates, you were enrolled by your parents into Academy around the age of five to seven and have trained since the fall of President Sokolsky's tyranny. You have not seen your parents since you enrolled and, as unfortunate as it is, it is a necessity in order maintain the integrity of the government and the Astrovian people. Per the Academy's system, you have been training with the same classmates since enrollment and each of you have elevated to proud, graduated member. Some of your teammates may be siblings, best friends, or long-time rivals, but above all they are your greatest allies. Though you are full members of the special police, your senior members will be acting as your mentors for the time being, so pay close attention to what they say! Volunteers, the Astrovian people thank you!
For the most part, Burden is an RP designed to focus on the characters, settings, and nuances of the Burden world rather than the plot itself. While the plot is still important, its main purpose is to push the characters to discover its many secrets and mysteries that pop-up within the Burden world. With so many Easter eggs (if you will) within the plot, there's a chance not everything will be discovered, but it certainly is possible! Think of it like a video game with multiple endings, whatever path you take can alter the ending entirely. Discovery is encouraged in the RP, so the real question is, what path will you take?

So as the ad says Burden will be GMed by me, Retro Bug, and Kiklion. We've been working on this for a couple of months and will hopefully be able to release somewhere from mid to late summer. We just thought we'd drop this in an attempt to find some interest. We're excited for it and we hope you will be too!
So what do you guys think?
