PLOT
Toronto. A huge city and Ontario's capital city. At most times it's very expensive, unless you live in the areas that are...not so nice. Life in Toronto is different for all. Some people are filthy rich and live in the best apartments possible, while others live in run down shacks that barely have room for a bathroom. A place where romance can bloom, enemies can hate and friends can hang out is what everyone wants, right? Not always. Toronto is different for all, for some a dream and others a nightmare. Is it your time to wake up, or is it your time to fall asleep?
NEWS CAST
"Oh no, breaking news! Another murder has taken place in Toronto, with a burglary right behind. We've determined that the name of the gang is The Échapper, or 'The Escape', but will they ever be caught? They start with a murder, then a smaller crime. No other trademark has been found yet, but lets hope these people are brought to Justice."
WHY I MADE THE SITE
I could have made a role playing site about anything. New york, Washington...anything! The thing is, I haven't been to any of those places! I have no clue what their special landmarks are, their shops, etcetera. Being a Canadian myself, and having gone to Toronto several times, I actually know what landmarks there are and the parks. I just wanted to do a forum that I knew something about, but could still enjoy. That's why I chose to do a Toronto based site.
TORONTO - INFORMATION
- Since it's in Canada, though I don't ask you generally spell things like 'Favorite, Colour, etc.', but when your character is typing in Twitter, facebook, whatever make sure that unless your character us from the US or something, spell things correctly. If you aren't sure about a word, PM myself.
- Toronto is NOT as dangerous as you may think. Yeah, the news shows how many burglaries or murders in Toronto? But that doesn't mean they happen all the time. Toronto can be a safe place to live.
- Sigh...let me put this simply...WE. DO. NOT. ALL. LIKE. BACON. AND. MAPLE. SYRUP. Sure, some people like it, but not everyone.
- People aren't always mean, and you won't get mugged every time you go out.
- The best way to get around? Subway and walking. Your character is driving to the other side of Toronto? Hah! Good luck. It is so, SO, SOO slow driving in Toronto. Put it this way: Lets say it normally takes 5 minutes to get to work with no stop lights, stop signs or traffic. It'll likely take you 10-15. Not all the time, but most of the time.
