WELCOME SUBJECT #937546-78 to Society's Database.
In the society before ours, everyone had technology, too much of it, and the consequences were disastrous. Now, we have the basic technology we need – ports, readers, scribes – and our information intake is much more specific. Nutrition specialists don’t need to know how to program air trains, and sorters don’t need to know how to research diseases. Such specialization keeps us from becoming overwhelmed. We don’t need to understand everything. And the Society reminds us, there’s a difference between knowledge and technology. Knowledge doesn’t fail us.
The Society chose to build itself on the motto that Perfection is the only thing that truly keeps you safe.

Modern Warfare was always a growing concern for the world back before Society existed. Nuclear weapons were owned and operated by almost every country in the world and could destroy land and families with a single push of a button. Though the world kept spinning and the world leaders maintained a peaceful composure a secret was with held from the public. That secret would later change the fate of the world. May 18th 2016, The day the world ended. It was on this very spring day that the first nuclear missile was fired. Though the country that fired first was never discovered, the first hit was Saratov, Russia. The Russian government returned fire on the United States blowing up Los Angeles, California. The United States was outraged and the world was sent into a state of panic when the two world super powers began to fire rapidly, each trying harder and harder to out do the other. The violence didn't end there and it spread to hitting Western Europe and Northern Asia before the entire world was brought into the matter. That secret from earlier? Was an underground bunker made specifically for protection from nuclear warfare. Several thousands of people were taken and safely transported to the underground bunkers and kept safe under the world for 2 years. When the last bomb exploded the group emerged from their underground bunkers to see a world that had been destroyed. Animals had gone extinct, radiation was heavy in the air, and the world seemed dark and bleak. This was when Society was born. The thousands of people used the technology they had left to re build and begin a new life, one with out war or nuclear weapons. This new world was built on the foundation that war was evil and perfection must be maintained at all costs. Feelings became 2nd to perfection and the world was rebuilt and renewed in the year 2024. -
Society today is a modern and sophisticated utopia based on perfection. It is in Society that people are safe, equality is always there. The government provides you with everything you need to live a perfect life. Everyone has the same house, which has a government installed video camera which monitors you at all times. It also allows you to be able to communicate with the government when needed. You no longer work for money, only to help further the community. Pets are allowed if you put in a request form. Allergies no longer exist and most medical diseases are treatable, if they are unknown they are killed off. Schools are controlled by the government and only teach children general knowledge. When they turn 16, Children are considered adults and are given a specific job and begin training for their job. When people reach the age of 17 they are matched with their spouse and are given a time of courtship, in which they are allowed to somewhat determine their spouse as acceptable or unacceptable. If acceptable they are married at the age of 21. If not they are re-matched and then married. You work. You raise a family. You die. But of course with every perfect society there will be rebels. These rebels call themselves, The Resistance. A petty group that tries to take Society down and "restore the world to its original graces" Society outlaws this and anyone caught in the Resistance will be treated as traitors.

::General Plot::
My Basic idea for this role-play is that 8 teenagers arrive at their matching banquet, a coming of age banquet in which the person, now aged 17, will be matched with their future spouse. (I will assign your match) Upon meeting your match you either take a liking to this person, or you don't. Perhaps your heart belongs to another, maybe you love your own gender, maybe you have no desire to even get matched. Of course your opinion doesn't matter, nor doess it even exist, in Society. You do as you're told and nothing more. But you can't help wondering that maybe, just maybe, there's more to life then just Society. What lays beyond the rules that bind you to your everyday life? Well you're about to find out. Resistance members have taken a stance against the corrupted Society government, and now you're a part of it. So, are you brave enough to fight for your own voice? Or will you fall to the perfection that Society demands of you.

My Rules and Expectations::
My Expectations for this Role-play are that we have 7 active members who can make 5 decently constructed sentences so that we can keep this role-play moving. I do not wish for this role-play to fail and die, which is why I would like to keep the group small and manageable. I promise to check this role-play daily and ask that you make an effort to check at least a few times a week. I want this role-play to be a fun experience for everyone involved and wish that we will all get along and maybe walk away from this role-play as friends. This being said I'll list the rules below. Please don't break the rules, they are there for a reason.

Please don't break the rules, they are there for a reason.
- No God modding or Controlling other's characters. NPC's are allowed to be controlled.
- Swearing is allowed as long as it's not intense. Using the F word every other sentence is a bit too much.

- I'm going to ask that you post at least 5 sentences, you may however post 3 sentences if you are having writers block or the likes.
- If you for any reason need to drop out, lose interest, or need to take a break. Please don't be afraid to contact me or post here about it.
- Fighting and violence will be a part of this role-play, this being said please don't be make it gory or over the top. {No blood battles}
- Romance is a major theme in this role-play, however if it gets to steamy please use the fade to black option.
- There is no posting order but please don't leave people behind.
- Please post the words 'Perfection is our down fall' somewhere in your CS so I know you read the rules!
- Please use good grammar and spelling. {I understand little mistakes here and there, we are all human}
- Please Don't be afraid to ask questions or make mistakes. We are all Human.
