It's a brave new world. after the crash of WWiii a new, more perfect world has bloomed. Freedom is a thing of the past. Now your whole life is planned out for you, from the school you go to, to the food you eat. When you turn 13 you have a PIC implanted into your right eye. Between 16-18 you are told what job you will have and start training for it. By 27 you are given your spouse and is told how many children you may have. You are even told when your life must come to it's end. In exchange for your freedom, you are promised safety, and a better way of life. Medicine and technology are far advanced. People live longer, sickness is rare, and everyone is 'happy'. The world is split up into 9 districts each ruled by a monarchy with kings and queens; the most powerful being 'the city in the sky', District 1. But all is not well. Some districts are better off then others. And there is talk of corruption within the 'sky city'.





Some things you should know:

District 1: Also know as the sky city, sky kingdom, or upper lands, is a giant kingdom built on a hover plate about the size of England (50,346 sq miles). It hovers above north Atlantic Ocean near what use to be New York. District 1 is the riches district and has the most power (think of it like America).



The lower lands: Everything that is not District 1



The rich districts: 1,5,9



The poor districts: 2,8,3,6



districts in the middle: 7,4



The New World Order` this is a document similar to the constitution. It is strictly followed and has been signed by most Districts in the world. Districts that do not sigh this are shunned.



PIC` this stands for Personal Identification Code. It tells everything about you, from where you were bore, to what job you have. It's small and clear and pretty much looks lick a contact. It is scanned to get into some buildings and to see who you are.



d0t codes` a lot of things are made of d0t codes. Such as security, web programs, and more.



d0t hacks` these are used to hack d0t codes. They are illegal if you don't have a permit, which usually means you have a government job.



The Badlands` Places who do not agree with The New World Order are refereed to as The Badlands. This is because these places are usually unadvanced and a tough place to live. Some parts of The Badlands are also toxic. There are also territories that can be considered badlands.



Art art music` There are still singers, actors, movies, painters and such. But people are starting to get into the arts of the pre-crash. Things from that time are hard to get and if you want to listen to music or watch a movie from the pre-war days it coast a lot of money.



Med` Medicine has advances so much that people are rarely sick (Unless you are from the poor districts).



Tech`What you can expect to see is:

Hoverboards: They come in a couple different shapes and sizes. They are popular amoung children and young adults.



Hovercars: Flying cars. They are more popular amoung the older.



Hovercrafts: These are kind of like flying homes. They are huge and not cheap at all. These are reserved for the rich and powerful.

there are also holograms, but I can't really think up any other real cool tech. If you think you have something interesting to add just say something and I'll put it up. (most likely I will ^-^)



FlyBird` This is a government company that enforces The New World Order. It is very powerful.



xiii: A rebel group formed in District 2. The want nothing more then to see the sky city fall and gain freedom. District 1 nothing more then to see them all dead.

Bio: Aaly was born and raised on district 1, her family being pretty close to the royal one, she had even developed a crush on the prince who was pretty much around her age. She had everything she always wanted, she was spoiled and pampered, she had a perfect life. She was pretty much like any normal person who had lived out their lives on district 1, she was even a shallow young lady which had learnt that following an already planned path was the normal and right thing to do. However, as if punished by fate she lost everything at age of 13, her parents died and somehow she ended up living on district 2, all alone. She couldn’t bring herself to understand why all of that had happened, she had already been implanted the PIC and still her life had taken a turn that left her in misery, what had gone wrong?

From then on she learnt on a harsh way to take care of herself. When she thought she was gonna die from starvation she was saved by some people whom showed her kindness for the first time in months and from that point on her life totally changed. Those people were from xiii, a rebel group, and though she disagreed with them at the beginning she learnt how the life she was previously living was no life. Of course she could be provided with safety and such but not being able to decide your own destiny was degrading. Even her parent’s death had been already decided since before and so she focused her hatred on those who had decided it, taking them away from her. She even took out her own right eye which had been implanted with the PIC refusing to accept the fate they had planned for her and so starting her path as a rebel against the city and rules that once had been her all life. However, she was no fool and even if she understood that maybe they wouldn’t possibly be able to stand against the sky city she still would be able to decide her own death and it was something worth dying for, ain’t it?

Occupation: Rebel

District: 2

Bio: Nate was born on District 2 and was raised there. His family members were not rebels though and he led a pretty poor life when he was little. Soon he grew up to be full of hatred towards those who had made him and his family live that way just because of where they had been born without giving them any opportunity to change it: The New Order. Eventually he became a Rebel, determined to change everything with his bare own hands. He shares Trent's ruthless and extremist way of doing things and so he looks up at him. He's actually a pretty skilled Rebel, being a good shot and extremely good at close combat as well. At first he bullied Aaly because of where she came from, now he does it because he simply likes to do it.

Age: 32

Looks:

men-vin-diesel-bald-1711592293.jpg

Derrick also leads field missions and is not one to mess with.





Name: Lila

Age: 24

000000350947-ondria_hardin-fullsize.jpg

Occupation:Rebel

District:2

Bio:Lila was born in District 3 but sold as a servant when she was 10 by her father for some extra cash. Three years later she killed her master and was on her own. When she was 15 she proved herself worthy of a place in xiii as the youngest member to have the rank she does. Lila doesn't talk much but when she does she does it quietly. She looks like a child despite her age and is often mistaken for one. Lila is skilled in both weapons and combat and she taught Shotgun everything he knows about a gun. Lila doesn't hate District 1 and the other districts in the New Order like the other rebels. She pities them, and wants to set them free.

@Mapo, I love your character ^-^


@Storm, that's fine I just wanted to know. But just so you know Jonathan is an asshole to his servants. :P
 
Name: Kaida Shun Akane


Age: 16


gender: female


Looks: Kaida is a rather short girl for her age, she's at least a head shorter than the average teenager. She has long, curly golden-blonde hair that flows down to her lower back. She'll often wear it down or tired up in a long braid. Her long bangs almost cober up her large chocolate brown eyes. Because of her small size and figure, Kaida kinda looks like a little doll.


Occupation: Prince Jonathon's personal servant


District: (where do the personal servants live? Not sure if they go with the middle class or if they live with the higher districts because of their job)


Bio: Kaida has been a servant basically all of her life. At least as far back as her memories jog. She was trained by her mother who was once the head-maid of the royals. She taught her everything she knew. When Kaida was little, she'd tell her fantastic stories about her late father. He was a great knight, but died tragically in a fierce fight. Once she turned the age of 10 her mother passed away from sickness. Being left behind alone to take care of the young prince. She has served him ever since.
 
Name: Kennedy King


Age: 17


Looks:
2vwedlc.jpg



Occupation: Princess


District: 5


Bio: Kennedy was born and raised into the royal family that watched over district five. Also known as one of the royal districts. It was boring at times, as she was never allowed out of the house. She only ever got waited on hand and foot, and whenever she wanted to cook herself or clean herself, it was put to a stop immediately. As if... As if her parents were afraid that if she opened up or something that she'd want to run and join down in the districts. But why would she do that? Her parents also are choosing her husband for her like any other 25 year old and she dreads the day of doom (As which she calls it).. Kennedy loves listening to music, or watching movies. A few times she has even managed to convince her parents to let her get singers to perform a private concert for her!
 
(I'll start now and when the others make their characters they can jump in)


"Uck, finally!" Crisis huffed hopping off the stoop which led to her apartment. Everyone on this side of District 5 lived in an apartment. "Are you ever on time for anything?"


Halo grinned down at his best friend Crisis. She was never late for anything and liked everyone to be the same way, so sometimes Halo would purposely be late to meet her just to get her worked up.


"Being on time is overrated," Halo joked. He was dressed in his yellow worker's jumpsuit, but Halo, being who he was, had his pulled down and tied around his waist, reveling his black undershirt. Halo would wear his jumpsuit like this all the way to work, and when his supervisor cited him for his inappropriate work uniform, Halo would just grin and say he was in too much of a hurry to fully zip up his suit. This is how Halo would go into work most mornings. So far Halo had gotten himself cited 12 times this month, one more and he'd get himself a detention. Halo sighed at the thought.


"So what did you want to tell me?"


Crisis's face lit up. "This is so cool," she said, her eyes flicking to the clock tower that stood taller then any of the other buildings for all to see. Being late was frowned upon. "But I'll tell you once we get to the station. If we miss this train we'll be late."


~~~


Jonathan was not happy. His parents were keeping something from him, again, and he was not happy about it. Jonathan sat in the royal hovercraft, his seat faced his parents. Beside him sat his older brother Lux who quietly looked out the window. They were on their way to the lower lands, District 5 to be exact. Districts 1, 5, and 9 were meeting up to sign a treaty along with District 6. Jonathan's parents told him, and the reporter, that it was to make the world a better place, bring it closer. But Jonathan couldn't shake the feeling that the was something else going on.
 
(Cool!)


Aaly was walking down an empty street with her right hand on her pocket and the hood over her head. Her short white spiky hair peeped out from the hood as she just seemed to walk aimlessly while eating an apple with her left hand. She had decided to go for a short walk that day to clear her mind, it was her parent's death anniversary and during those days she just preferred to be left alone. She could achieve that in that place, a miserable dessert like dump where no one had lived for years, she let out a snort as she thought of the 'safety and the better way of life' that was supposedly provided. They were just hypocrites that lived out their lives in a tiny little bubble the ones who actually believed on that. When she finished with her apple she just threw the leftovers to the ground, hopefully though quite improbable a plant would be able to sprout.


She then blinked when something caught her attention and made her look up at the sky. There, a big hovercraft plough through the sky, and she could recognize it as the royal one. She frowned, imagining that the royal family all 'High and mighty' and even her past 'beloved' could be there in that moment. She then mimicked a huge weapon as if she was holding it in her arms and then shot the hovercraft with it, smiling with satisfaction as she imagined the scene "How nice it would be.." She said out loud as she slowly lowered her hands.
 
"I can't hold it in anymore!" Crisis said happily. They were walking to the train station.


"What?" Halo said turning to Crisis. She was dressed in her school uniform. Halo remembered the days when he got to go to school with her. He missed it, it was much more fun then his boring government job.


"I got assigned!" she practically squealed this as she reached into her bag, pulling out her cell.


"So, they finally gave you a job huh?"


Crisis smiled as she opened the message from the government and within seconds a 3d message appeared from her cell.


Halo frowned. "A neuroscientist?" he asked. Neuroscientists were very respected and a hard job to get, so it didn't surprise Halo that Crisis was assigned to it. But Crisis's love was computers and codes and Halo knew that the job she dreamed of was a programer. "Are you happy with your job?" he asked.


"Yeah. Why wouldn't you? Everyone wants this job." Crisis rolled her eyes when she saw Halo's look. "Okay, so it wouldn't have been the job I'd pick... but it's still a good one."


"Better then a food handler," Halo said out loud what Crisis was thinking.


"You know what I mean," Crisis said.


Halo just chuckled. "As long as your happy."


As they walked the two friends passed a girl. Halo noticed that she had a eye patch covering her right eye. Halo raised a brow, you didn't see that everyday. Halo watched the girl raised her arm and followed it to the royal hovercraft that floated in the sky. That's right, it was the treaty signing today. How could he forget, it was all over the new feeds. Halo's eyes fell back on the girl and he smiled when she 'shot' at the craft. "Bold move," he muttered to himself.


"What?" Crisis asked.


Halo shook his head. "Hurry up, the train's almost here.


(Your character could already be in District 5. Ready to serve the prince when he lands)
 
Aaly blinked when she saw two other people there with her, she thought she was all alone. She was not afraid though, she didn't really care if anyone watched what she had just done, she was at least sure there were no 'guards' near and normal people would just look at her with a reprochable look on their face, which either way didn't bother her on the slightest. She glanced at them from her corner of her eye as she caught what the guy said by reading his lips 'Bold move', huh? Funny, he had not look her with that usual look. Then a quite strong breeze blew, taking off her hood from over her head, letting all her face in plain sight and making her blink, surprised, diverting her attention from that girl and guy.
 
(Alright)


Kaida sat nervously on old wooden bench as she awaited her new master's arrival. Her short legs swayed back and forth, unable to reach all the way down to the ground. She twirled a lock of her golden hair. She was anxious to meet the person who she would serve for basically the rest of her life. Letting in and out a few breaths, she tried to calm herself down. "Calm down, calm down. This happens all the time."
 
Kennedy sighed as she looked in the vanity mirror. She was dressed up in a long purple dress that reached the ground. Her hair done up in an updo with beads strung in her hair. She rested her chin on her hand. The reason for this sudden appearance is that other nobles will be coming to sign some sort or treaty. Her parents just keep smiling creepily towards her and she does not like it one bit.


"Kennedy dear?" Her mother's voice called up the stairs.


"Yes?" She called back, taking one last glance in the vanity mirror before heading down the stairs slowly to greet her mother at the bottom of the stairs.


"Remember to be on your best behavior-"


Kennedy cut her mother off quickly. "I get it mother." She huffed in exaggeration before stalking off to go to the kitchen for a little snack that she never is actually allowed to have.
 
The hover train had arrived, the wind from the stop causing Crisis's uniform skirt to fly upwards and her hair to fly out of place. You'd think she'd learn. Quickly, Crisis pulled out her cell. A hologram appeared from it and then reflected. Crisis looked into her reflection, running her hand through her hair to put it back into place. 17 years of living in District 5 had taught her to accept nothing less then perfect.


The wind had also caused the hood to fly off the girls head. Halo tilted his head as he took in the girl's full face. The girl had that look. Growing up in the poorest part of Neo Tokyo had taught him to recognize that look anywhere. In fact, he got the same look sometimes when he forgot to hide it behind his smile. It was the look of someone who had grown up in one of the lower districts, someone who knew the world for what it really was. Halo narrowed his eyes. But what was someone like that doing here? And without a work uniform no less. She looked old enough to work.


The government made sure that the kids from lower districts who transferred to higher ones get placed in a job as soon as possible. But not just any job, a lowly job, just like him. It was so you never forgot where you came from, and how grateful you should be that the government would save you from a life in a lower district.


"Earth to Halo," Crisis huffed bring his attention back to her.


"Hmm?" he asked following her onto the train.


Crisis's eyes flicked to the direction in which he stared and then back to him. "I said, I found a new song."


~~~


The royal craft had finally landed in District 5. A servant quickly opened the door of the craft and out stepped the royal family of District 1. They were greeted by reporters and cameras, but they knew not to get to close. Jonathan's parents automatically pasted their fake smiles onto their perfect faces, something they had perfected over the years. Their two sons followed suit.


Once the family stepped into the meeting hall where the treaty was to be signed and the doors closed separating them from the rest of the world, Jonathan let his smile fade. Quickly, the royals were swamped by servants.
