This roleplay will exist in a world only slightly different from our own. On in which God and his Angels are not ideas, but figureheads and leaders.
The world is not a planet. Instead, it is an infinitely long, infinitely wide, flat surface of land and water.
- As of now, the world population is 4.5 million.
- Days and Nights work all the same as they do here, and with 365 day-long year intervals of time.
- The average life-span in this world is 120 years, but some people live to 150 -- and even 200 in very rare cases.
Parents do not name children at birth; children are born with their own names. Their names will always be located on a barcode on their collarbone, right above their chest. Everyone in a family has the same last three numbers in their barcode numbers It is possible for two people to have the same name, but not the same barcode number. Barcode numbers are 12-digits long. This was designed by Genesis and the Architects.
There is no outer-space and no stars, there is no sun. Instead, there is a light that appears during the day that illuminates the whole world. This light does not come from a single source. The nights are pitch black, as there is no moon. There are plenty of lights poles on the streets and roads of nearly every town.
- There are unlimited natural resources in this world, naturally, but these are limited over distance. While you can theoretically harvest an infinite amount of something in an infinite world, you would have to harvest it over an infinite amount of space.
- There are no different time zones. If it's day-time and the sun is out, then that's how it is everywhere.
- There are different seasons, just like here.
There is no outer-space; there is just limitless sky. There are clouds because there is rain. There are dark-blue pulses and streaks that zip across the sky. These are called "sky-streaks". They are usually only visible during the night.
- Landmasses are divided by oceans and seas, just like in our world.
- There are no police in this world, but there are jails. Guardians act as police and security in this world.
- There is also no disease and no sickness in this world.
- There is one currency in this world: credits. Credits can only be accessed and used via credit or debit cards.

Imagine! -- a world where life as you know it is nothing more than a virtual reality, a mere video game. Imagine living in a world that has tricked you into believing it to be authentic. Imagine living in a world where the truth has been concealed and you are expected to simply accept life as it is. Everyone around you is naive to the truth! -- they do not see what you see. They are unbeknownst to the fact that the very world they live in is not even real. They are unaware of the fact that they are not even real.
But what if they discovered the truth?
What if someone unearthed what has been kept hidden for centuries?
Imagine.
The year was 2185. World War 3 had been going on for 15 years straight. By this time, more than half of earth's population had died as a result of the world-wide war. The world was in shambles. Governments were being overthrown in various countries and nations were falling apart one by one. There was widespread fear, destruction, and chaos all throughout the world and it seemed as though there was nothing that could be done to stop it.
Realizing that humanity was on the brink of extinction, the President of the United States secretly called for a meeting to draw up a plan to preserve humanity. Prior to this, he had attempted to restore order and peace in the world through a one-world government, but his attempt was unsuccessful. Those present in the meeting were members of the President's administration, specifically members from the presidential cabinet and the executive office. The meeting took place on February 15, 2185.
The original plan formulated in this meeting was to create a virtual world that simulated real-life aspects, features, and qualities. After creating this world, they would have it programmed onto a server in a wireless piece of technology. Next, they would have programmers wirelessly connect the virtual world server to the brain-chips of everyone in America. Then the programmers would wirelessly reconfigure the brain-chips of everyone in America so that once they died, their consciousnesses would instantly enter the virtual world. Lastly, the wireless piece of technology containing the programmed virtual world server would be transported to a secure location on the moon via teleportation technology. The wireless piece of technology would be encased in an indestructible case of material.
The plan was initially brushed off by many people in the meeting as "foolish" and "absurd", but after hours of debating, everyone came to the same agreement that this was the best choice. It would be impossible for life to continue to thrive on earth given the current conditions of the planet. When the war was over, earth would be a desolate plain of destruction, inhabitable for humans -- everyone in the meeting understood this. The extinction of humanity was thus imminent.
However, creating a virtual world that replicated all of life's features and qualities would take years. And they certainly did not have that much time on their hands. Thus, instead of creating a virtual world, they resorted to using the virtual world in a certain fantasy virtual reality game designed by Japanese game-makers. To play the game, players wirelessly connected their brain-chips to the game device. Within minutes of doing this, the player would enter into an unconscious state. Then, the player would "wake up" in the game world. The virtual world in this game was extremely elaborate and highly-complex. Because of this game's virtual world, the game itself was widely considered as the greatest game of all time. People all across the world were addicted to this game; in fact, after playing this game, people were so immersed in the virtual world that they could not tell the difference between reality and the game's virtual reality. They no longer knew what was real and what was not.
The only problem with this idea was that the game was a fantasy game, therefore the virtual world in this game was a fantasy world; however, at the time, it was the only thing that would work with their plan. Therefore, everyone in the meeting agreed to using this virtual world for their plan. They decided that they would just have programmers re-configure the virtual world of this game so that all of its fantasy features would be gone, which was a possible feat. It was certainly not their intention to preserve humanity by having a population live in a fantasy world. If anything, they wanted this new world to be as close to real as possible.
With all of the plan's details ready, the meeting was dismissed and the plan immediately went into action. The meeting was 15 hours long. The time-frame was quite short: the plan was expected to be accomplished in the next two days. This was due to recent reports concerning nuclear attacks that were expected to take place on American soil five days from then. At the time, America's military was severely undermanned and the government had lost control of the nation. The attacks were expected to result in millions of deaths and they were not prepared to properly defend against these oncoming attacks. Therefore, time was of the essence.
It was a rushed job, but the programmers managed to get the job done within the allotted time. They complained to the President and the others that they wanted more time to ensure that the virtual world was just right, but their complaints fell on deaf ears. As requested by the President, the programmers reconfigured the game so that everyone that was in the meeting would be "gods" in this new world. They would have the ability to do nearly anything they wished. They would be able to live forever and be the rulers of the new world, which they planned to establish a one-world government in. The President also requested that the programmers adjusted things in the virtual world so that the memories of everyone except himself and those that were in the meeting would be erased. No one except the President and the others that were in the meeting would be able to recall anything upon entering the new world. The memories of the entire American population would be completely erased as soon as they entered the virtual world. Only the President and those that were in the meeting would retain their memories. They would be the only ones to know the truth.
Once it was ensured that the virtual world was wirelessly linked to the brain-chips of everyone in America, including the President and everyone that was in the meeting, the wireless piece of technology containing the programmed virtual world server was transported to a secure location on the moon via teleportation technology. A few more tests were ran to ensure the virtual world's stability. After these tests proved that the world was indeed stable, there was one last thing left to do.
On February 20, 2185, the President as well as everyone who was in the meeting committed suicide. Their bodies were found in an underground bunker near Virginia, bullet-holes in each of their heads.
They became the firsts to enter the new world, the firsts to gaze upon the splendor and beauty of the world that life would restart in. It was a new beginning -- a new start. This world solved all of their problems and allowed them to continue with life. It gave them the opportunity to establish a perfect utopian society.
It gave them the opportunity to rule an entire world.

_________________________
The standard rules you see in most roleplays apply to this roleplay, such as no god-modding, auto-hitting, etc. No meta-gaming, either, which is basically the act of using information that is impossible to attain at the moment to your advantage. Trinity is not allowed here either, which is when you suddenly obtain something that is unobtainable at the moment on the spur of the moment. No cybering. Romance is fine with me. Please use third-person point of view when roleplaying; first-person point of view is not allowed. If you wish to leave, please PM me beforehand. Don't just drop out and not let anyone know. And that's about it.
I am very open to suggestions and ideas; furthermore, if you have any suggestions or ideas feel free to let me know.
Moderators are as follows: Romdeaux.
ACTIVITY
_________________________
First of all, if you know you're going to be occupied 24/7 and you'll have no time to really participate in this roleplay, do not bother joining. However, if you join, suddenly get real busy, and no longer have anytime for the roleplay, while I can understand it, it'd still be best for you to go ahead and dismiss yourself from the roleplay so that you're not holding up a spot that an active roleplayer can fill in. That would do us all a favor and I'd appreciate it very much. Now, if you are going to be away for awhile, please PM me and let me know ahead of time. I personally dislike having to boot people from my roleplays, regardless of the reason. But if you're inactive for a super long time without letting me know beforehand, I'll have to do so. Please don't force my hand. And please don't join and then don't post at all. I NEED DEDICATED, ACTIVE ROLEPLAYERS.Oh, and let's keep the OOC active! Roleplays usually last longer when the members of the roleplay are keeping the OOC alive and fun! Lastly, please be aware of your activity in this roleplay and try to keep the inactivity as low as possible.
PROFILES
_________________________
The joining process is quite simple. All you have to do is fill out an application form and send it to me in a message titled "RESERVE". If you are accepted, then you will proceed to filling out your profile. Send it to me along with three of your character's most dominant personality traits in a message titled "PROFILE". That's all. However, I ask that you send me your profile as soon as possible after being accepted. In other words, don't send me your profile like two weeks after I've accepted your application and reserved your spot. Please don't do that. It's frustrating. The profile form is extremely short -- in fact, it should only take you a few minutes to fill it out.
CHARACTERS
_________________________
I do not want dull, trite characters. Cliche characters are not allowed here. I want characters with intriguing personalities and background stories. Basically, each character should be unique in their own special way. EVERY CHARACTER MUST HAVE THEIR OWN PERSONAL AGENDA. No one does anything for no reason; therefore, your character has to have a reason behind their role in this roleplay. Please note that there is no "personality" or "biography" in the profile. The reason why it's like that is because your character's personality and background is to be revealed throughout the story in this roleplay. This will add a unique dynamic to this roleplay that will spice up the overall experience. It'll make things more interesting and fun. It will also make character development far more engaging. As far as character pics go, anything but real-life pics are acceptable. If you don't want to use pics, then you may write a description of your character in the profile. If you are having trouble finding anime pics, I recommend this website called zerochan.net; they have a bunch of good quality anime pics. Please use pictures that will fit this roleplay's genre. With that said, I do not want to see werewolves and vampires. No.
By the way, all characters in this roleplay will be knights.
AS OF NOW, I AM ALLOWING FOR TWO CHARACTERS PER PERSON.
If you have any questions regarding the rules, feel free to contact me.
