I guess this is where "Interest Check"s go, so I'm putting this here.
I had the idea to do an RP for Hotline Miami, a game series by Dennaton and Devolver Digital. Now, I do a lot of Fan-fictiony RPs that really don't go anywhere, as, well, being honest, I don't want to put any of my original ideas into RP form, since we never finish RPs, and also when I start thinking about an original idea, I usually don't want other people messing with it. :P
Basic lore of the series:
Rather than calming down, the Cold War ramps up in the 80's, and the USSR invades Hawaii. America sends in troops, sparking the Hawaiin Wars, mainly in the region surrounding Honolulu. America takes back the state, but the USSR responds by nuking San Francisco in 1986.
This puts the two Super Powers at each others throats, but in the interest of avoiding mutually assured destruction, the RAC(Russo-American coalition) is formed. This keeps a full out nuclear war at bay, but the influence of the Russian Mafia in Miami increases, and hate against Russians among the American people reaches a boiling point.
In 1989, masked killers target Russian Mobsters and high ranking Russian officials between April and July. This later becomes known as the Hotline Murders, as the killers who are apprehended by the police all have the same story: They were forced to commit those crimes by messages left on their answering machines from "Hotline Miami", threatening their lives if they did not comply.
Tension rises, as "Fans" of the vigilantes protest their trials, and even try to follow in their footsteps, some of the Hotline Killers escape in the 1990 prison riots, and "patriot" organizations such as 50 Blessings rise in popularity.
By 1991, a gang war erupts between the Russian Mafia and Colombian Cartel, who rose to power after the heavy blow to the Russian Mob in '89, and protests of the vigilantes' trials are suspected to become full out riots. A meeting of the RAC is planned in Washington to deal with the situation before it becomes completely out of hand.
Now, I'm hesitant to give any more information to people who haven't played it and know nothing about it, because I like what Striker is doing with his RP, and thought that maybe, I could do something similar with this. If that was the case, I'd just include a basic timeline of events between 1985 to 1991(the setting of he second game, Wrong Number), but not include anything that the public wouldn't have any knowledge of.
The timelines thing would be tricky, as, in the game, it is constantly following multiple timelines, and also showing events that haven't actually happened in alternate timelines.
I've not really developed the idea of what I would do with this too far, but I figured I should at least make an interest check thread to start with.
