Aidan-
Mr. Kat Lover
The roleplay takes place sometime in the future and there are flying cars and such. Anyways, the gap between The rich and the poor have grown at an exponential rate and the rich now live in the "Above". The Above is a city that is extremely technologically advanced, unfortunately, the mayor of this town is extremely greedy and not willing to give money to the people of the "Below" and most of the towns people agree with him. The Below is, of course, the place where all of the poor people live. The lack of food and technology has made most of the people living down there extremely violent and willing to do anything to get back at the people who live in the Above, which obviously doesn't help the rich view them as human.
Name:
Sam Finley
Age:
20
Personality:
Sam is the sort of guy who has lost all hope in humanity. It's not that he started off cruel and full of hatred, but after living all of his life in the 'Below', he has had no choice but to bury the softer side of him somewhere deep inside. After years of pretending to be like everyone else, the line drawn pretend Sam and the real him became blurred and now he is not even sure if it is still there. His harsh, sarcastic remarks come naturally and anger constantly bubbles out of him towards those of the 'Above'. Sometimes though, he likes to think about what it would be like to let the more gentle side of him out, but of course he could never do that. It's kill or be killed down there.
Traits:
✔ Smart, Loyal (to those he cares about), Honest
✘ Egotistical, Arrogant, Selfish, Gullible
History:
Sam was born and raised in the 'Below'. He grew up witnessing all the terrible things the world had to offer and never quite understood why his life was like this. All to trusting, his gullibility lead him into more than one bad situation in his childhood, and nonetheless, at age 12 he got himself into a predicament that forever changed his life. A man had managed to convince him that he knew how to make some quick money, easy, and Sam truly believed this was his way out. So he unknowingly lead an enemy of his father's straight to their little dug out of a home, and before he knew what was going on, his parents were murdered right before his very own eyes. Sam was left with two scars: one on the left side of his abdomen, and one in his brain.
This was the end of Sam's blissfully unaware childhood, and the start of the new him, the one who Sam kept insisting was only there out of necessity. He spent the next four years searching for the man who ruined his life, and when he finally confronted him, he killed him before he could think twice. Stumbling out of the crumbling home where the man had been taking refuge, he wiped his bloodstained hands on his pants before noticing his hands were trembling, partly out of fear, and partly out of anger. His behavior could no longer be explained by his need to survive. He had killed a man on his own accord and the man had no intention on hurting him. Sam was lost..
The next four years up to date consisted of Sam wandering around hopelessly, not sure how his life became so crummy so quickly. He wanted answers, and he was no longer concerned how he received them. Blaming the 'Above' for his misfortunes seemed like the easiest way to get rid of the guilt, so that's exactly what he did. His time was used to cultivate his rather extreme hatred for the rich people and he is not the easy going kid he used to be. But he knows it's still in there somewhere.
Other:
He keeps a gun on his person at all times.
Name: Lorelai "Lorie" Selene Quartermaine
Age: 20
Personality: Lorelai is an optimistic and intelligient girl that has lived 'Above' for all of her life and has believed that it was paradise until recently. She is naïve as to what happens 'Below' but that is due to her parents sheltering her from the events. Her friends give her knowledge of 'Below' and she believes what they do, that they are people and they need help. She would never tell her parents in fear of ruining their seemingly perfect family.
Bio: Lorelai is an only child that was born to Senator Anders Quartermaine and designer Amelia Bowman-Quartermaine in 2030. Her father's job required him to interact with certain citizens 'Below' thus causing him to keep his daughters mind free from from the horrors she'd inevitably hear about. All in all, you could say her life was fairly easy. She was sent to a prepatory academy for middle and high school and now attends Hastings University, where her father went, as a pre-medical student. When she began her studies, she becane friends with nurses who moonlighted as medics for the people 'Below' and became immediately interested in what went on underneath of them
Sam wandered aimlessly down the busy sidewalk, once again finding himself void of something productive to do. The vicious growl in his stomach alerted him that he was hungry but there wasn't anything that could be done. He was poor, even more poor than the rest of the people who lived down here in the 'Below' with him. The last few meals, if they could even be called that, had been scavenged from the falling apart houses that anyone sane would have avoided because of the danger of falling ceilings. Not that Sam was beyond sane, he was in great mental health. Desperation just lead people to do crazy things. So, keeping his hunger in mind, he changed his route and began making his way back down the street that he had come.
Money and supplies, which had already been a rare commodity in the dark recesses of the 'Below', were running lower than ever before. People noticed too, and had no reaction to it other than the swift anger that quickly over took everyone. Even the closest families turned against each other, as they felt it were necessary in order to survive. It had been at least two years since Sam had been able sit down in his ramshackle home and have a sufficient meal substantial enough to hold him off until the next day. But now, even one meal a day was getting hard to find and this angered Sam more than he could even put into words.
