New game stuff. Making things. :D
Welcome to Impel Down;
You know what's happened to you; they've boiled you, told you that you've done heinous crimes against the World Government and you will either rot here or be executed. It all depends on your crimes and the sins you've committed in your lifetime. Thick bands of stone line your wrists and you are marched to one of the six levels of this hellish prison - all you can hear are the screams of tortured prisoners and the low growls of beasts out of your worst nightmares. But you've never been here before, have you? You don't even know what the hell the World Government is.
You soon will.
Premise;
impeldown is a survival horror based RPG set in the infamous prison of One Piece known as Impel Down. Whomever you choose to play here will retain their powers, but they will be zapped temporarily from the seastone shackles placed upon him or her on their arrival. Most people who come from different worlds won't know what they have done - some will. The choice is up to the player.
There are six levels to this hell hole, all with unique tortures for their prisoners. Most of the people here are pirates and convicts sentenced to life behind these bars. Dark creatures lurk in the shadows, ready to beat any and all obnoxious prisoners to death without a second thought.
But, unlike the series, there is no way out. The doors will open every night for any prisoners willing to take the plunge in this insane world. The cuffs will come off and maybe, just maybe, you'll find some sort of solace out there. But with everything, there is a price. Anyone who wanders off and causes trouble will have to face the wardens in this horrific prison. Problem is, they're just as mentally unstable as most of the prisoners that reside here.
Have fun.
Things to Know;
Each prisoner is given a live-channel feed to broadcast off of. Other prisoners can hack into this feed; sometimes, it's a private line. Other times, the wardens are watching. A small phone that resembles a snail is waiting in the cell your character is placed in; this line is your character's only communication with other prisoners on different floors. It can only transmit voice recordings.
The Den Den Mushi (the snail phone) will be labeled with your character's name and prison number, allowing for other people to make direct contact with it. You cannot post anything private until you get this information. Anything and everything will be open to the public until you get specific names and numbers from people. Oh, isn't Impel Down such a catering place?
Your character will also be stripped of their clothing and given the appropriate black and white prison attire that is so common in these kinds of establishments. However, all items they may have had before have been saved on one of the floors - this includes the usual clothing, jewelry and even weapons they may have had in their previous life. If you can find it, you can have it.
Until you get caught, that is.
Each player will be given a level for their character to be in, depending on how bad they actually are. Should you wish to choose your own level, since the moderators do not know every fandom out there, you may. Here are the choices;
[Taken from One Piece Wiki]
Level 1: Crimson Hell (紅蓮地獄, Guren Jigoku?) is the first level of Impel Down in which prisoners are kept. While the level relatively is used for less wanted criminals, it contains a large forest of red trees. The leaves of the trees, known as Kenju (剣樹, bladed tree?), are as sharp as blades while the grass on the floor, the Haribarisō (針々草, needle grass?), is as spiky as needles. Here prisoners are forced to run through the forest while being chased by poisonous spiders and guards to experience all the pain from being cut from all directions. As consequence of prisoners being forced through this forest, it is soaked in blood. Deep within the forest is a hole that leads to Level 2. For those who do not wish to live through the pain of being cut any longer, they were given the option of jumping down the hole to Level 2, which contains an even more terrifying hell that nobody is willing to risk. The security here seems to be somewhat lax, as a prisoner has managed to sneaked a Black Den Den Mushi into his cell, eavesdropping on what is happening around the fortress.
Buggy was kept here prior to his escape due to the guards not knowing he was a Devil Fruit user, much less one whose power rendered him completely impervious to this type of torture.
Level 2: Wild Beast Hell (猛獣地獄, Mōjū Jigoku?) is the second level of Impel Down in which prisoners are kept. Buggy commented that every prisoner from level 2 that escaped with him holds a bounty higher than his own[7] (15,000,000 Beli). It contains various wild beasts of sorts. The beasts kept here include Puzzle Scorpions and Manticores. Puzzle Scorpions are large poisonous insects that can join together to become giant centipedes. Manticores are man-eating human faced lions that will devour everything from their prey including the bones. Their human faces allow them to speak however they can only imitate what they hear like parrots as they don't understand what they're actually speaking. The words they speak are mostly things they heard from the prisoners so some of the things that they say are completely out of place. Among these regular-sized beasts kept here are also two gigantic beasts, the Basilisk and the Sphinx.
The Basilisk is a gigantic snake born from a chicken. It is a feathered mutant that possesses both snake and chicken traits. It is extremely strong that it gave Luffy and Buggy a good chase until it was downed with one blow of Gear Third from Luffy. Though formidable, the Basilisk is not the most powerful beast in the level. It is considered to be the "second-in-command".
The Sphinx is a gigantic human faced feathered lion. Significantly larger than the Basilisk and much more fearsome than the other beasts, it is considered the "boss" of the level and is charged with guarding the stairway that leads out of the level. It is so fearsome that the prisoners kept in the level, and even the other beasts hide from it. Like the Manticores, it is capable of imitated speech. It randomly says the names of types of noodles and apparently understands the concept of giving thanks before meals. It is such a strong beast that it is capable of breaking the floor beneath it if it hits it enough times.
With these various beasts, prisoners kept here are forced to be chased by them through the corridors of the level. Because of the fearsome danger, prisoners often either lose the will to go on, or refuse to escape even when their cells are unlocked.
Mr. 3 was kept here prior to being set free by Luffy and Buggy. After both the Basilisk and the Sphinx were defeated, and along with all the prison doors being unlocked, there was a mass riot in the level caused by Luffy and his companions. The riot however was quelled down by Saldeath and his Blue Gorillas. There was recently another riot that occured shortly after the previous riot but has since been quelled after Magellan apparently decimated almost all the prisoners on the level and blocked all the entrances and exits. However, as Magellan is now occupied with Luffy's breakout army, the rioters of Level 2 is once again active.
Level 3: Starvation Hell (飢餓地獄, Kiga Jigoku?) is the third level of Impel Down in which prisoners are kept. Most of the prisoners kept here are pirates who have a bounty of 50,000,000 or higher. On this level, prisoners feel the heat rising up from Level 4 and are given precious little food and water to keep them in a near death state. They are reduced to the point where merely looking at them cannot tell that they were anywhere near once frightening criminals. And while the temperature here is nothing compared to the following level below, it is intense enough to cause overwhelming dryness, resulting in Level 3's somewhat desert-like terrain. Mr. 2 Bon Kurei was kept here, despite his bounty being only 32,000,000.
In the middle of the level is a large hole going directly to Level 4 down below. This combined with a gigantic fan directly above the hole, serves as the main ventilation system to redirect the smoke produced from below. Level 4 can be reached through this hole, however, to travel down it holds a risk of death or scalding by the fire and heat of the floor below.
Level 4: Blazing Hell (焦熱地獄, Shōnetsu Jigoku?) is the fourth level of Impel Down in which prisoners are kept. At this level, a pool lies filled with boiling blood heated by a raging fire making it extremely hot. The heat caused by this is so intense that it also heats up the level directly above it. If one tries to jump down to this level from Level 3 using the large hole used for ventilation above but don't land on a safe place, then they're dead.
Prisoners from other levels are regularly tortured here. The most prevalent form of torture here however is being thrown into the gigantic pot of boiling blood in the middle of the level.
Mr. 1 was kept here, though he was shown to be unfazed by the heat of this level while being placed in hard labor. He also saw Luffy and Magellan's battle while in his cell.
Magellan the warden of Impel Down stays here. His office contains a lift, which can take several people to all the Levels throughout the fortress, bypassing the stairs. This is also where the kitchen of the prison is located next to Magellan's office. Luffy's battle with Magellan was fought here prior to him being completely poisoned and captured.
Level 5: Freezing Hell (極寒地獄, Gokkan Jigoku?) is the fifth level of Impel Down in which prisoners are kept in. This is the level where criminals with bounties of 100,000,000 and over are kept. In stark contrast to the level above it, the entire level here is a giant freezer. The level is so cold that not only do the prisoners kept here either freeze to death or lose pieces of their flesh from severe frostbite, but the food given to them is frozen to the level of being virtually inedible. Due to the extreme cold, Den Den Mushi don't function in this Level, thus cutting off both contact and surveillance, except on the locations localized around the entrances that connects Level 5 to the previous and next levels. Along with the severe cold, the level is inhabited by wolves. These wolves roam around the level like the beasts of Level 2, where they were originally stationed at. However, they proved to be too brutal to be in Level 2 as they also hunted the other beasts as well, including the Basilisk and the Sphinx.
Along with the bitter cold of the level, there seems to be a occurrence of prisoners mysteriously disappearing as well. Prisoners who are incapable of moving by themselves have been disappearing without a trace. Because of this, the Impel Down staff and the prisoners call this phenomenon, the "demoning away". The superstition is that the missing prisoners have been actually pulled away by demons to the Gates of Hell itself. The belief of this superstition has been carefully kept within level 5 so that no inmates from the upper levels were aware about it prior Bon Kurei (disguised as Hannyabal), Buggy, and Mr. 3 descending down to it where they were informed by the guards. Among these missing prisoners is Emporio Ivankov, the queen of the okama. He was imprisoned here until he mysteriously disappeared from his cell. Since then he was rumored to be living in an abandoned guard's office deep within a forest situated in the level.
Luffy was transferred into the central tower of this floor after his loss against Magellan, until released by Bon, hoping to find a cure.
Level 6: Eternal Hell (無限地獄, Mugen Jigoku?) is the lowest level of Impel Down. It is where prisoners who are insanely powerful, have caused crimes extremely atrocious, or whose mere existences have become a major threat to the World Government itself are kept. The prisoners on this level have been given either the death penalty or a life sentence. They are basically "erased" from history.
Ace was kept here on death row, awaiting his execution. Because most people dismiss Level 6 as just a rumor (until its actual discovery) Ace was believed to be on Level 5 by other prisoners. Jinbei was also placed on this floor, and was being kept in the same cell as Ace. Though the prisoners on this floor are either jailed for the rest of their lives or until their execution day arrives, Jinbei was only given a temporary sentence for refusing to fight against Whitebeard. Crocodile is also being kept here in a cell next to theirs. Near them are various other legendary pirates who hold deep grudges against Whitebeard, some of which are several imprisoned Giants.
Kept alongside the prisoners is the former Chief Guard Shiryuu. Because he constantly massacred prisoners, he was deemed to be a menace even within Impel Down, and became too dangerous to be kept anywhere else in the prison. For abusing his powers, he was sentenced to Level 6.
Prison Wardens; While there are canon guards, someone from somewhere else has brought you here. They are the one that releases prisoners at night; they are also the one that will send mysterious feeds over the network. Whoever it is, it will be obvious that helping the prisoners is not what they're after. This is all a game to them.
Each night, there will be messages on the feed when the prisoners escape. Sometimes, there will be clues to getting some freedom or even finding old trinkets of your character's old life. Follow them and you may find treasure. Or death. It depends on the mood of this mysterious individual.
