Several hundred years ago, our ancestors participated in the last great war. World War 3, they called it. It was massive and devastating, destroying most of civilization. The remainder of human kind knew they could not survive alone, and thus went about building a new race to coexist alongside them. These new creations were metal automatons, looking exactly like intricate metallic versions of humans. At first they were treated like equals, holding jobs, inventing, even having relationships with the humans. However, as time went on the human/automaton relationship devolved. The automatons are now mass produced solely to be servants, nannies, caretakers, and factory workers. They are programmed to have a one-track, work driven mind. Yet every now and then, one is made with a defect. Humans don't know why but some of the automatons come out of creation with the ability to think for themselves. They are quickly sent away to a place with unknown whereabouts. It is called The Asylum and the automatons are sent to be crushed and refashioned into something new. Everyone knows about The Asylum. But not much is known about where it lies or even exactly what they do. They only know that The Asylum is responsible for most of mankind's advancements in the last century. For mankind never has stopped in it's quest to engineer, modify, and control the next new thing.
The Asylum dwells somewhere in a large city-state called Trehpsacore. It is shaped in a gigantic, walled egg, divided into two sections. The outside of the two sections, the closest to the outer wall, "Trehps", is the extremely rich section. The people there work in lavish offices, have large parties and satiate their fleshly desires as they wish. Prostitution, gambling, and drugs are big businesses and considered commonplace in Trehps. Parties are thrown nightly and the fashion is ostentatious and vital to the inner circles. Trehps people do anything to be popular and look fashionable. It is considered fashionable to have an automaton servant, worker, or concubine. In contrast, "The Core" is extremely poor. The people there work in the factories alongside the automaton race, making nice things for Trehps in terrible conditions. Starving to death in Core is extremely common. The few who can afford houses are lucky. There is an abundance of homeless people in Core. Trehps and The Core are separated by a series of inner walls and gates. You don't just leave Trehps to go to The Core or vice versa. The communities are vastly different and there is much animosity from people on both sides, as has always been the case. They even have little slur nicknames for each other. The Core people are called Slum Slugs to those on the lavish side of the wall and the Trehps people have been dubbed Elitists by those under their feet. This is simply every day life for them.
However, something fishy is afoot. Researchers from The Asylum have been "borrowing" orphans, street rats, and anyone else who looks like a good candidate from both areas of Trehpsacore under the guise of training them to be Researchers one day. Of course, no one even bats an eye. But for the candidates? Their life has now vastly changed. They awake in a huge high- tech house together, filled with rooms for each orphan and every invention and want anyone could have. However, this combination of kids can be disastrous. When the Slum Slugs and Elitists mix, people have been known to be killed. But this strange new "Orphanage", although a blessing to The Core kids who are used to terrible conditions, is frightening. The Researchers talk about making their new "experiments" into the perfect life form for every Trehps house. "The next big thing". The candidates are subjected to all sorts of experiments and tests to give them strange supernatural powers. The children are all groomed and conditioned to be the most fashionable creatures in Trehpsacore. The doors are locked to keep the kids from ever trying to escape. And what's worse? No one can even remember their own name. When they wake up they only remember the name bestowed upon them by the Researchers.

The rules here are pretty simple.
1: No Godmodding/Metagaming. You would think this is common sense but I still see it all the time.
2: No Gary Stus/Mary Sues. Romance is permitted, however, it is not the main point. Flowing off of that:
3: This is not a Libertine Roleplay. If your characters start getting all hot and heavy I will kill them off.
4: I'm in charge here. If I ask you to change your character or an action or something please comply.
I'm not a bad lady, I promise. As long as you follow these rules we will be the best of friends. I don't bite.
I would like to try and keep a balanced gender ratio, please.
