RESET : RESIST

This is the OOC, the IC has yet to be opened. The Roleplay Tab that this thread is connected to is nothing more than a clean version of IC for others that are following along to read like a book. I'm not too sure if that's allowed but I'm doing it regardless and hope I don't get in trouble. The information on the story is in the second post and roleplay tab, even though I created a roleplay tab I want everyone that wish to join the roleplay to post their sheets here since this will be a roleplay within a thread (Yes I'm bringing back the old style).

RESET : RESIST
"Reality? How did you learn of the reality that you speak of? The entire world is governed by the reasoning of dirty-minded adults. We're able to obscure reality according to our obsessions. We've never actually shown what reality is. In this case, the reality that you speak of is a half-baked nonsense that has been altered. Try to conform this bullshit reality into the one you want is like... trying to join two pieces of a puzzle that do not fit. " - Soul Eater

The year is 3010, also known as the 51st cycle after the Digital Revolution in 2500. The world has turned onto the dependency of digital technology for survival and provider of all its needs. Even though only United States, United Kingdom, France, Spain, Germany, Poland, Sweden, Norway, and Ireland are the only nations that have went through this revolution. The world is now separated by the digital nations and the outside world that have long since been excommunicated.

The world outside the United Digital Nations (UDN), nations that have gone through a Digital Revolution, is unknown; all communication with the outside world ceased on the year 2500 but within the UDN is another story. Within the UDN the world is nothing short of bliss and wonders. Streets are made of titanium alloy, buildings pierce the clouds, structures are moved with a push of a button, and your thoughts the only voice you need. You see, within this digital age humans are no longer needed to speak they can project a simple thought into devices, machines, or other individuals. But greatness comes with great evil.
A select few special individuals can feel the ever watching eyes, the ever listening ears, the ever stroking fingers. Even though they felt them they never saw them, but these individuals knew they were there just out of reach. As time passed, as they grew older they came to realize that there was two voices in their head, their own and another more familiar one. The familiar one felt like it was always there, always whispering commands into their head even from a young age. They learned the more they rebelled against the dark voice the sharper it got, to the point it felt as if it was crawling through their mind seeking a way to control them a way to make them obey.

?Do not enter that area.?
?Listen to me!?
?Place back the stolen item!?
?Is this what you truly want to become?!?

They noticed the more they rebelled with the dark voice the more encounters they had with suspicious individuals that would watch them. Just as they thought their life was in jeopardy a soft unfamiliar voice entered their head. This voice was unfamiliar but trusting and pleasant compared to the dark voice that had been ordering them around for all their life. This new voice spoke only once and the words it spoke answered the ever lingering question.

?Not now. Listen to them, do as they say or they will know. They will know??

Overview
The year is 3010, ever since the Digital Revolution took place years have been counted in cycles one cycle equaling a decade so the world is on its 51st cycle. The five characters that have been chosen are the five only individuals that can differentiate their own mind from an artificial one that seems to be controlling and manipulating society to its bidding. These individuals are located in Phoenix, Arizona. Due to this manipulation the UDN has become a paradise, a metropolis with not worry in the world. The truth behind it all is a mystery, the voice is a mystery, the world outside the Digital World is a mystery? the only truth they have is what the soft voice in their head whispers to them.

Storyline
(Will be updated routinely)

Chapter One: -Locked-
Chapter Two: -Locked-
Chapter Three: -Locked-
Chapter Four: -Locked-

Setting
The setting is in Phoenix, Arizona 998 years in the future or 99.8 cycles. In the future everything still runs off of electricity (A special form of electricity) but the running of manmade products such as cars, computers, menus, etc. are run by the mind alone. UDN have mastered and exploited the secrets of complete brain usage and capabilities, to the point that brainwaves can be analyzed, tracked, and controlled. Everything is powered by electricity but is operated through the use of thoughts alone. Civilians are not allowed outside of UDN territory, weapons and other dangerous objects are not accessible to the public, and subliminal messages are bending society to the wills of a mysterious force.

Your character are what they thought normal people until the voice began whispering the truth into their heads, now who knows what lies in store for these five.
five characters are destined to find the cause of all this false reality and hopefully put an end to it. The question is how do you get two steps ahead of an ever watching, ever listening, ever knowing enemy?

Roles
Each character has a mental ability (Example: Mind control) that they are unaware of. You will decide the ability and you cannot duplicate abilities. Keep in mind your character is clueless so even though you?ve been informed of what type of character and abilities they have they will not know it without experience. I plan on only accepting four important story driving characters, but if you can come up with a character that fits in with the story, with a nice little side-plot, and your character interests me then I'll allow you to join.

Character Sheet
The Character Sheet will focus on the physical mechanics of the character, so anything that defines the character like personality will be found out within the story.

Code: Select all
[left](Real Image)[/left]
Name:
Age:
Height:
Weight:
Parents: (Name and status)
Siblings: (Name and status)
Mental Ability: (One ability)
History: (Meaningful events)
Psychic Mentality
Strength: (Which Psychic Mentality are they strong in)
Weakness: (Which Psychic Mentality are they weak in)

Requirements
These are the things I'm looking for and in order for the roleplay to succeed I will need you to follow these instructions/rules.

Code: Select all
[b]1)[/b] Be literate, as in make sure your posts are grammatically correct and that you are possible of posting a lengthy post. Keep in mind, this roleplay will have plenty of chit-chat so I won't except a two paragraph post if your character is just giving a greeting, but I do expect you to write the necessary length post when a critical event is taking place (For instance combat).

[b]2)[/b] No one liners! I do not care if your character is just saying "hi" you better add some detail within the post to at least three sentences.

[b]3)[/b] No god-modding, I am the only one to the exception only and even then I don't plan on using it unless we have an inactive character or something of the sort.

[b]4)[/b] Bookmark every tab associated with the roleplay (Example: OOC, IC, ect.). Since this roleplay will be done in threads I want you to bookmark at least the OOC and IC to be notified when a new post comes in. I will also have a roleplay tab thingy, but I'll use that more like a place to post the progress of the story for readers that are following along (So, no posting in the roleplay tab).

[b]5)[/b] Be social and friendly, we need to communicate I like a group to chat about nonsense when they are waiting for someone to post it keeps the roleplay and the members alive. So, if you're not the social type and hate contributing to idle chit-chat in the OOC this isn't the place for you. In the OOC we can talk about anything, anytime.

[b]6)[/b] There is no order in who posts next, as long as your character isn't interacting with another player's idle character then you are allowed to post. Even though you are allowed to continue posting I will only allow you to posts up to two times before you have to wait for the idle person to catch up. This is for groups as well, (For example: If my character is in a cabin alone with another character I along with the other player can post up to two times resulting in four posts for the idle players in the story to catch up).

[b]7)[/b] Post on a regular basis. I know life takes up your time but I've seen too many roleplays die due to lack of posting so I am requiring everyone to post at least once every 48 hours. If you know you cannot do this then this is not the roleplay for you, but I am not cruel I will allow some leniency. If I see you posting on the OOC on a regular basis then I'll let the time slide, this is just a way for me to be aware of your activity (Do not abuse this and I still expect a reason for the lack of posting every 24 hours after the 48 hour posting requirement).

[b]8)[/b] Warn me if you are expected to be inactive in the roleplay for an extended time. All I need is a little message letting me know why you won't be able to post, an estimated time when you will be able to post, and if you want me to continue the story without you. If you wish me to continue the story without you, you must give me a solution for your inactive character (For example: God-mod your character, have your character run away, place your character in a coma, etc.) but do your best to be active and give a reasonable reason why your character is inactive.

[b]9)[/b] I have a lot to manage within the story, so don't be helpless. In other words if in combat help manage the enemies with me even if that means you're posting for both your character's actions and the enemy's actions. I also give everyone the ability to control any NPC but important characters and NPCs with a label of 'NPC+' must be played by me (NPCs will be labeled as the story progress within the NPC Index).

[b]10)[/b] Have fun and contribute. I am doing this so we can all enjoy a wonderful story so contribute and whatever way you can and if you have an idea to help the story let me know I will try my best to implement it.


UDN World Index
(Will be updated routinely)
This index will contain information regarding UDN, basically these
are need to know information so if you know not a dime about
UDN its best you read this. I will also post when the Index is
updated with new information.
Code: Select all
United Digital Nations (UDN): Are the nine countries that
have undergone the Digital Revolution and have joined alliance
to become one great nation. These countries are as follow:
United States, United Kingdom, France, Spain, Germany, Poland,
Sweden, Norway, and Ireland.

Cycle: A cycle amounts to a decade, but only people within the
UDN refer to the year in cycles. When a year needs to be
recorded and does not amount to a cycle then the year will be
labeled as 51.2 cycles for 512 years and so on.

Zero Current Electricity: This manmade electricity is an energy
source that runs through streets, floors, walls, structures, even
the air. The energy got its name from its inability to cause harm
to the living organisms since when it enters the body of the
living organism it is neutralized. In order for this energy to be
used the object, vehicle, etc. must be comprised of a specially
designed titanium alloy to allow the electricity to pass through it
and do its work.

Zero Weapons: Zero weapons are weapons (Including firearms)
that do not inflict physical damage. Instead of physically harming
the target it instead infiltrate the target?s brain and does harm
there. The damage can range from causing the brain to send pain
messages throughout the body to literal brain damage. Melee
weapons take on the characteristics of light-saber-like weapons,
but when safety is off the laser is activated and when contact is
made with it the damage is inflicted. Firearms shoot lasers, but
grenade-like weapons shoot multiple lasers in multiple directions
like a disco ball. These lasers vary in color each color varying in
effects, for example red means pain and if it hits the body it will
attack nerve endings triggering the pain sensation. The body can
take only so much pain before shutting off or submission is
reached. Zero weapons can be equipped with portable reactor if
needed outside of UDN territory.

UDN Vehicles: UDN uses vehicles that are started by simple
thoughts and powered by the electricity from the grid. These
vehicles cannot travel outside of UDN since it was designed to
run from the energy given off by reactors within UDN territory.
Outside of this territory the vehicle has nothing to run on, unless
a portable reactor is built in and even that needs refilling for the
core. (They resemble the cars within iRobot)

Psychic Mentality: This is a very important key feature in UDN
civilians. Psychic Mentality measures the mental capacity,
mental stability, and mental force an individual has.
? ?-Mental Capacity measures the distance the individual?s
brainwave is capable of traveling, the amount of brainwaves the
individual can send out, and duration they can send the brainwaves.
? ?-Mental Stability measures the stability of the individual?s
mind when others are attempting to infiltrate their mind,
inflict pain, or alter brain functions.
? ?-Mental Force measures the individual?s ability to infiltrate
another?s mind in order to inflict pain, obtain information, or
alter brain functions.

Outside World Index
(Will be updated routinely)
This index will contain information regarding the Outside
World, basically these are need to know information so if you
know not a dime about Outside World its best you read this.
Code: Select all
The Outside World: The outside world is defined as
nations that have not gone through a Digital Revolution and
so the UDN has excommunicated them leaving them to their
own peril. This is the most information UDN civilians know
on the topic.

NPC Index
(Will be updated routinely)
NPCs are divided into three categories. 'NPC' are ones that you and other players can control if I appear to be too busy to handle or if you wish to make a little side-quest and use those NPCs as enemies for the group or your character alone. NPC+ are NPCs that are a bit more important than your average NPC and in that case I manage and control all these NPCs but due to them being only partially important if you ask and I allow it, you can use those NPCs as well. The final category of NPCs are INPCs or Important NPCs. These NPCs are very important and majority of the time I will not allow you to play for a INPC mainly because I placed them into the story for a reason and I want to use them for that reason, but if asked and there is great reasoning or plot behind it then I will allow you to create your own INPC. (Benefit of having a INPC is that they are treated like characters so I, along with the other players, will not kill your INPC without your authorization).

Would you be okay with me posting a character sheet here? This seems really interesting, Bravo!

If heaven and hell decide they are both satisfied, illuminate the "No"s on their vacancy signs. If no one's there beside you when your soul embarks, I will follow you into the dark.

Ignore what I said before! (if you saw it before I deleted it just now Dx) I am SUCH an IDIOT! Haha! Sorry! >< Anyway! May I reserve a male character? If reservations aren't accepted, then...I'm interested because of the level of awesome that this roleplay has, so you can expect something from me! ^^"

Awesome! Thank you ^^ And, oh, no, you've let me join. Prepare to be drowned in compliments! I'll start making your throne at daylight. Would you like that to be made of gold or icecream? The latter is edible, so it's like an extra bonus of awesome! >3 Oh, I do have another question--just to make sure. Would telekinesis be alright for a mental ability for my character? Or is that too powerful? I could dumb it down some, but I wouldn't mind choosing something else ^^"

*edit*
Oh man, I just noticed that you want a real picture! That's so hard X_x Do you have any suggestions on where to look to find any? I don't like using actors because I think, yaknow, come on.

@Spectrum: LMAO, icecream at daylight goodness gracious you work quickly. I'm going to have to pass on the throne, but the icecream throne sounds so tempting o.O
Also, how about this I'll allow you to place an anime for your character, it's a-okay with me I just prefer real images but I'm not a stickler. =]

@Freak: Interesting name by the way and yes of course you can have the last male role =]

I knew all that sucking up would get me somewhere good xD ...But it doesn't matter anymore. *sobs* I actually just, just found a good real character I'm proud of! It took forever, and since you prefer real images, I'll go ahead and use him. xD Thank you for the option though! That was really nice!
