Futuristic Cyberpunk

[Atlas Marvel]

Can someone please make a simple cyberpunk RP with an actual plot and story to follow? I just wanna make a team and fuck shit up without some crazy complicated nonsense on the side. I haven't seen a proper futuristic or cyberpunk RP in years.

I HAVE SOME IDEAS, OKAY.

• The Missing Dead: The after-life is made real in the form of a virtual reality heaven. People pay to have their minds stored on computer and are allowed to continue living in a virtual world of their choosing. But when their money runs out, users are downgraded to the basic free package, which takes the form of a virtual slum. When several of heaven’s residents are reported missing, a detective enters the virtual world to investigate. There he discovers the shocking truth; non-paying users are being deleted to free up server space.
• World 1.0: Two teenagers build an entire holographic world from the ground up. When the program is stolen by an entertainment company, they attempt to sabotage it from within. They use their knowledge of the virtual world to gain control of its characters, preventing the company from making a profit.
• Linked-In-Mates: The inmates of a high-tech prison have their brains linked to a computer network to provide extra processing power. The prisoners use this to plan their escape.
• The New You: In the distant future, scientists have found a way to transfer thought and memory into the minds of robots. Humanity has been all but wiped out by a century of plague. There are less than 1,000 living humans left, but thousands more continue in near-immortal robot bodies. The robot-humans know that the biological population is too small to repopulate the Earth, so they search for a way to create new robot minds, using their own thought patterns and the thought patterns of the last surviving biological humans as a template. They create hybrid personalities, combining different character traits to increase diversity. The minds of the living/biological humans are more capable of growth and development than the robot minds, and so the last remaining humans are vital to the future diversity of robo-mankind. The robots subject them to a battery of tests, challenges and new experiences (some traumatic and some pleasant) to encourage their personalities to change. After each new experience, their minds are scanned, copied and uploaded into a new robot. Living as lab rats, the biologicals are desperate to escape their torturous existence. Maybe their robotic counterparts can help, but will they?
• Johnny-5, Dead: A strange, futuristic cult begins using replicants/clones/androids as suicide bombers. They are created specifically for the purpose, can be made to look like any person, and they have no fear of death. The source of their manufacture must be located and destroyed.
• Trash: A group of troublesome children are abandoned on a huge trash heap. They have all committed crimes – some serious, some not-so serious – and this is their punishment. The trash heap stretches out for miles in each direction and the children are alone. They arrive by teleporter, and each week they receive a food parcel by teleportation, but they must otherwise fend for themselves. They pull together as a group, with the eldest children as their leaders. They share their different stories, their troubled pasts, and become close friends. Two of the children begin building their own teleportation device using scrap parts so that they can all escape. But when the device is finished they all decide to stay. They’ve found what they always wanted – freedom, responsibility, people who care about them, and they don’t want to leave that behind. Unfortunately, this is all a simulation – a virtual reality. The experience was designed to punish the children and build character. They awake from VR and are sent back to their homes.

Hit me up if this gets off the ground, all these ideas seem super cool.

 

[Sludgemouth]

I'd like to pitch a kind of abstract setting involving cyberspace getting a little too realistic and literally merging with reality.
If that seems at all cool let me know and I'll expound upon that further

i'll put together a well thought out world and setting together once i get off of work (i'm in on guam time so my schedule is literally 14 hours into the future from GMT 0

I would be interested in this if there is still room

 

[Vudukudu]

I'll keep an eye on this. Was personally itching for some sort of private investigator / police deal, myself.

I'm interested in the first two.

That "New You" idea is fresh off the shelves. Not to say the other ones aren't.

Somebody tag me when this launches, otherwise I might have to steal aengers and start this myself.

all of those sound awesome, if you ask me

Well, now we know where the traumas come from!

These ideas all seem pretty neat. I've been craving for a cyberpunk rp for a looong time and still havent come across one yet. Are any of you willing to create one in the future?
