A Tempting Proposal...
Maybe it was a stray flyer drifting in the wind, a letter stuffed into your mailbox, or perhaps a paper hand-delivered by a man wearing a suit at the public shuttle-stop. No matter the form of messenger, the contents were the same; a vaguely suspicious yet highly promising opportunity. It carried the logo of all 7 Pillars of The City, a rare sight to see. If that didn't immediately capture one's attention, then the message within did;

Hello friends and foes. This rp is a secret lab/experiment RP that takes place in a corporate-run dystopian future Earth. It follows a group of test subjects as they are forced into a mysterious research initiative called Project Ex. After being given an experimental drug, these test subjects will develop strange and otherworldly powers known as an Archetype.
- Quick Roleplay Info
Plot Summary
At its core, this is a laboratory/experiment rp. The central plot will revolve around the mysterious and unethical research of Project Ex, a human experiment that your character unknowingly signed up for.
There are many reasons why your character was roped into this project; promises of a tempting paycheck, free boarding, or even the alleged moral benefits. Maybe they used it to escape debt sharks, prison, or a death sentence since every citizen, no matter their criminal record or status, were eligible to participate. No matter why they joined, all characters are now trapped in the project until its completion, whatever or whenever that might be.
In exchange for their freedom, autonomy and wellbeing, these "Assets"—as they are aptly called by the lab—develop strange and supernatural abilities as a result of the trial drug, Inoculus. They are forced to participate in dangerous trials all for the sake of improving their 'Archetype', the name given to their supernatural powers. The reasoning for why they must do this is shrouded in mystery.
This story is focused on character development, growth and interaction. Each asset will handle the trials and their conditions differently. While some assets may rightfully detest their new position and seek a way to escape, others may find the lab to be a better alternative to their life outside it.
Setting
The outside world is a dystopian, capitalistic hell. Long ago a war ravaged Earth, causing global ecological collapse and a mass extinction event. The remnants of humanity were forced into what is known as The City, an enormous mega-metropolis that easily takes up the space of what would be considered a country or state in the pre-war world. It has now become the only inhabitable place for humans.
Nobody knows exactly how many years have passed since the war, namely because of censorship and apathy. All the veterans and survivors of said war have long since died of sickness or age, so only the unreliable history published by The Pillars remain. The City is surrounded by a dome that protects the people from the fall-out of the war, with a sky dome that imitates weather and day/night cycles. While its nearly impossible to find anyone who has actually seen it, the public knowledge is that the world beyond the dome is a dull, barren wasteland. Only high ranking officials or families of the pillars have managed to glimpse the outside.
The City was founded by The Pillars, a collection of 7 corporations that each hold an absolute monopoly over the key resources needed for humanity's survival (more on the lore page). Each Pillar rules over a district of The City, though their influence is city-wide. Together, The Pillars work as the governing system of The City, running commerce and industry like a well-oiled machine while competing against each other for influence over the people...often at the expense of the people.
Money (called Credits) makes The City go round, and beneath the neon signs and flashy technology lies a gritty world of exploitation and hardship. The wealthy live in luxury while most others fight for survival. Criminal organizations run rampant in the underbelly of The City and are constantly at odds with each other and The Pillars.
