A Faded Ghost
It's 2021. The world is fucked up. It has been for a while. Everyone is obsessed with celebrities, fashion, the latest trends, whilst ignoring all the shit that happens in the real world. Murder. Drugs. Suicide. Few people seem to notice the real world. That's because they hide it so well. They do their best to not let it affect them. Those who can't help but let it affect them, they're labeled as "emo", freaks, and get told that everything will be fine once they shove some pills down their throats.
Lately, more and more people see how fucked up the world is, and just want to get away from it. They choose to leave this world. And the rest of the people just bury their heads deeper in the sand that is the media. Ignoring the fact that people are dying all around them.
A few years ago, a team made up of programmers, scientists, and tech geniuses came up with what they thought to be the perfect solution to the problem. Introducing: the Simulation. Well, its full name is the Alternate Reality Simulation Experience, but... Well, the team didn't really want people to know it as the ARSE. Besides, if everything went to plan, this wouldn't just be an experience; it would become a part of everyday life.
Fast forward to 2020. The team behind the Simulation finally gave the public an idea of what they were working on.
The Simulation was designed to resemble this world. But without all the disaster. Stuff like that would be detected right away, and stopped right away. Sounds perfect, right?
It is exactly what it's called. A simulation. The end goal is for the entire world to be "logged in" to the Simulation. Jobs? Deal with it in the Simulation. Food? Deal with it in the Simulation. Heck, even stuff like pregnancies and funerals would be dealt with in the Simulation, with robots in the real world to take care of the physical stuff.
A few months later. April 2021. The team working on the Simulation put out an announcement asking for beta testers. About six teenagers, aged between 14 and 18. That was the age range the scientists said would be able to handle the Simulation best if anything went wrong.
Of course something went wrong. See, the team didn't exactly give out all the information about the Simulation. It needs to be directly plugged into your brain. The team had the teens all set up. They had been knocked out, plugged in, and were set to wake up in the Simulation any minute. But there was a glitch in the system. The team lost any and all control they had over the thing. And without control over the system, they couldn't even get the teens out of there without killing them.
The glitch in the system affected not just the Simulation, but it appeared to have gotten into nearly every other computer system on the planet, connecting all of them. And you know what that means? The Simulation could change at any time without warning, and anything could pop up. Something like that is extremely wild. And unpredictable. And dangerous.
You wake up in the Simulation. Around you are other people. You vaguely recognize them as the other beta testers. You remember going into a room, seeing the hardware of the Simulation, and then... Nothing. You remember nothing after that. You do know why you're here though.
You are a beta tester. You know your job is to check out the Simulation, look for bugs, that sort of thing. Of course, you have no clue about the system glitch, but how could you? Anyway, you'll find out soon enough.

Rules
- Breaking these rules too many times will result in you being kicked out of the RP
- If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
- Keep to site rules.
- Swearing is allowed
- Violence is allowed, as long as it keeps within the site rules.
- Romance between characters isn't outlawed. Just remember to keep it clean.
- Grammar and spelling, people: they're there for a reason. Use them. The occasional mistake is okay, I don't mind, but your posts do still need to be readable.
- Characters go here. If they are accepted, I'll put them in the CS thread.
- Out of character chatter goes in the OOC thread.
- If you have any major ideas (scene changes, big enemies, etc.), message me before implementing them in the story. That way, we can work it out properly, and it won't turn into a chaotic mess.
- That being said, don't leave everything up to me. I want this to be fun for everyone, but I don't want it to turn into a chore.
- Even if you think I'm a huge ass, remember, I'm the ones who made this.
- Have fun, but take it seriously. Fucking about can ruin the experience for everyone else, so don't be a selfish pratt.
