Down to brass tacks! The All That Remains universe as we know is super-advanced. Technology has picked up at the point from where it was AFTER the bombs fell, but has not progressed, and in some places devolved i.e. heavy industrialism from the mega corporations. There are cybernetic augmentations (enhancements, prosthetic replacements, etc.) and thus cyborgs. There is also the ability to create replicants, fully mechanical sentient beings (i.e. androids) that look, feel, and taste human. They have greater intelligence, greater speed, greater strength than humans without cybernetics but at a severe cost:
A.) Their lifespans are non-existent. Most replicants break down after about 5-10 years, which was an intentional fault created by the mega corporations to prevent them from doing any serious harm for long. Publicly, there is no work-around for this fault. Publicly...
B.) None of them can experience emotion like a human can. No sadness, no joy, no anger. Nothing.
C.) Whatever "laws" exist inside a biodome, they don't apply to replicants just like they don't apply to the bottom-feeding street scum. It's perfectly legal to murder and chop up a replicant for its delicate electronics and not a single soul outside of the humans that wear their hearts on a sleeve will give a damn. Well, not unless you were property to high-ranking employees of a mega corporation.
And finally, D.) Let's face it, most of the time, you're property. Essentially a slave to whoever owns you. Unless you murder whoever owns you, and run far away, you'll be stuck that way. I'd intended for more people to have joined to the point where others would be playing mega corp. CEOs, etc. and owning other players' replicants, but since there's only 3 of us, that's obviously not going to happen on a large scale.
To break it down, there are only three classifications of player races: Humans, cyborgs, and replicants. If you play a cyborg (that is, a human with any amount of cybernetics), please try to keep it reasonable. Unless you decide to play private militia, or a high-ranker of a mega corp., your only likely enhancements will be for the eyes and critical limbs, or an organ replacement. As you likely couldn't afford aesthetics over prosthetic.
Character sheet:
Name
Age
Gender
Race
Personality
Occupation (What are you? A factory drone? A rebel? Private militia? etc.)
History (I don't expect you to put a lot here, but if you get inspired, by all means.)
Appearance (A few detailed paragraphs will suffice, or a picture with a supporting paragraph. Don't use "real" pictures if you can avoid it.)
Extra (Any more information you want to add here that doesn't fit in the other categories.)
You can create as many characters as you feel comfortable controlling. Be advised that if they have any serious degree of power they'll be expected to be posted for as often as possible, or I'll beat you with a stick!
If you want to play a character with any serious authority, please let me know. And if you have questions or suggestions, NOW would be an excellent time to voice them. If that's all you had in mind, fill out the character sheet to your heart's content and post it here. I'll add everybody's to the first post of the actual thread, then we can get to playing.
Remember, this is an open plot role-play. If you want it to develop a certain way, push it that way with your posts, or even submit your ideas to me individually (not here, we want to surprise the other player/s) and I'll find a way to implement it.
Finally, the rules are for any standard role-play. No godmodding, don't be a jerk, etc. I don't think I have to go into detail for you guys. Kudos!
