Here's the IC:
Unsettling CircumstancesIn a universe resembling Earth's, human beings have progressed significantly. They have colonized several planets and with the advance of technology, crime has almost disappeared. Almost. Rather than the petty crimes of the past, criminal activity has been contained to organized crime, and within a few decades it became obvious that the police force of centuries past had become dependent upon a specialized task force called SOOC, Specialists on Organized Crime (creative, I know.) Slowly, SOOC became the dominant authority figure and over the years, all but a few criminal organizations were taken down. Now, SOOC has sent a squad of it's best to taken down one of the few remaining organizations. However, the surprise attack turned into an ambush and the squad was taken down. Now, those who were captured find themselves chained to the floor in a huge warehouse with guards, other prisoners, and their remaining comrades.
There are five worlds under human control and we have no alien contact.
Thea: Resembles Earth. Homeworld.
Heaghen: Least habitable of all the planets. Desert world with limited water and lots of solar energy. Most buildings are underground.
Yueda: Water planet with one, South America-sized continent. Humans started building on land and slowly branched out over the sea. Floating colonies with little sun.
Karnae: Closet planet to the sun and years that are equal to about five on Thea. Seasons last a little over a year. Other than that, resembles Thea. People hereappear to live longer, but they have the same mortality rate. A woman looking about fifty will pass in her sleep because she's really over 80.
It's also possible to have been born on a space station, but that's a new development and you would have to be 17 or younger.

RULES:
1. I'm going to refrain from putting the normal roleplaying rules, cause I expect anyone who joins to have the common sense as to know what those are.
2. You break my rules more than twice, you're out. Hell, if you break my rules more than once, I probably won't like ya much and will be staring at your posts like a hawk. But I don't expect to have any of those problems.
3. Be literate, please. Correct grammar, good punctuation, and a decent sized post. That's all I ask. Please keep it above 200 words per post.
4. Romance is fine. Hell, it's encouraged. But if it escalates past PG-13, take it out of the forums and into PMs, please.
5. This is a futuristic roleplay, and with futuristic roleplays come pretty new toys. However, please ask me before implementing your ideas of what would fit into the roleplay. Laser guns, yes. Lightsabers, you're dreaming.
6. This is sort of contained within the first post, but I wanted to make this clear;
NOT OK: Tanya jumped on Joshua, twisting his arm back and slamming him to the floor.OK: Tanya jumped at Joshua, reaching for his arm as she attempted to put him into a hold and get him on the ground.After thought: Killing NPCs under your own control, be my guest. If you bowl over players, the result will be a rather unhappy Nyki.
7. There can be violence, but please limit the gorey details. You slashed him across the stomach, got it. I don't want to know what came out, thanks.
-----------------------
Just a heads up, there will be a plot-ish line to this RP. It's mostly character driven, but my character, Kenyon's character, and whoever plays the leader of those who captured the squad members will be moving the plot along and only we will have even an inkling as to what will be happening in the future. *cue maniacal laughter*
By the way, I DO need someone to play the leader. And there WILL be competition for roles. If you submit a profile for the captain and I accept, but someone else submits another profile for the same character, I WILL choose whichever character I think fits the roleplay best.
Playable characters are squad members, other prisoners (could be captured for future selling, some being held for ransom, unfortunate bystander the group picked up, etc. Be creative), the leader of the criminal organization, guards. You CAN make a character that doesn't fit those roles, but be aware I might reject it if I don't think it fits the roleplay.
Last, but not least,
this roleplay is flexible. If you have an idea about how we should go about this or something extra about the world/technology/etc., tell me. I love new ideas. :)
