In a world so technologically advanced that it is no longer practical to use technology to fight against others, a rebellious group has emerged.
Calling themselves the Underground, this group of an unknown size has been stirring up trouble all around the world, seeming only to use what they were born with - their hands and feet - ; for no electronic signals have been traced around areas they have assaulted. One witness proclaims to have seen an Underground member shortly after an electricity generator exploded, and describes the member as 'a flying shadowy figure, jumping from rooftop to rooftop like a cat'.

Only special individuals are offered a place in the Underground; and these people are not necessarily geniuses, not necessarily trained weapons fighters, not necessarily those with a rebellious nature... but instead, those who are independent thinkers.
For the problem that civilization now faces is a Government who wants to standardize the population of the whole world's thinking with an obsession to make everything 'perfect'. With the world's population doing whatever the Government says blindly, thinking that it is for their benefit, they grow more single-minded everyday that passes.
The Underground is focused on countering this obsession, with the motto that not one human can be perfect; believing firmly that to make humans perfect is to kill all diversity in the world, which the Government has effectively started to do, and the humans of earth seem to accept it. Already, all travel between countries has been banned, and speaking languages other than English can result in serious penalty. In addition, all governments have been merged into one world-wide Government that controls all aspects of human life.
The Underground seek the individuals who have the courage to see through their own eyes, not the ones the Government wants them to, and these are the ones who are invited to join the rebellion.
______________________________________________
Training in secret underground locations, Underground members are hammered into agile fighting machines by the Government's multitude of ex-police, each choosing for themselves an alias that they will go by while working or associating with the Underground.
Agility is the group's most valued physical trait, speed being the second from the top; as the two combined make for a recruit who can both avoid detection and quickly get from place to place. In a fashion, the Underground strives to create and train a 'modern day ninja', which somehow seems fitting; because, after all, what goes around comes back around...
Fighting for the freedom of thought, the Underground stands for everything the world doesn't think it has lost.

And so, only one question remains to be asked.
Will you join the rebellion?
City of California, where the Underground's training program is based.
The Underground's training facility.
The Underground's headquarters.
1. Standard RPN rules apply.
2. All OCC chat should be either on the OCC thread, or in the little comments beneath posts.
3. Each person is allowed a maximum of two characters.
4. Please ask somebody before killing their character.
5. Romance and stuffs is allowed, but please fade to black.
6. Please keep in mind that in order to keep the roleplay going, I will have to intervene once in awhile to put something spontaneous in, so be prepared for it!
7. Try to be as active as possible, especially during fight episodes. It is hard to have a fight run (which can be the most exciting part, yes?) with users bobbing in and out. Character 'frozen' time would probably be long enough to get them killed, so let us try not to exaggerate the effect (if you plan to be an active member, please put 'my character/character name doesn't plan to die' in your post).
8. I'm probably going to keep character accepting open for the entire roleplay, unless this gets a really large amount of people joining, so if you want to hop in at any point after the beginning, please feel welcome! The Underground is always looking for new recruits, so it will be easy to incorporate your character(s) in.
9. Have fun. Or else.
9 1/2. This is the first roleplay that I've started, so please bear with me.
