Introduction
In 2019 North America put a fortress around itself to protect it from the outside world. Everything within the fortress became controlled by technology such as day, night, warmth, and rain. Everyone in America was tagged so the government could monitor them at all times. America became perfect for a short time.
Shortly after the perfection in 2025. It took a while for anyone to start noticing, but once they did it wasnβt good. People were dropping like flies once they hit the age 26. They were born so healthy, lived like anyone else, but 27 was such a tragic number for all. The best thing in the world had someway reacted with humans differently than what they'd tested and hypothesized. Bodies piled on the streets. The population was spiraling to a stop, and the government had to think fast.
Scientist began working quickly to find a cure, within 2037 no matter how they tried they couldn't find anything to permanently reverse the early dying, but prolong it for two years. The prolonging cure was made into a pill named: Venus. The pill cost a half a million dollars, leaving the poor and middle classes to die, while the rich could live a tad bit longer, but with all the dying America's population was decreasing at an alarming rate.
The government began to allow polygamous weddings to help populate. Men were allowed to take up to seven wives and women up to two husbands.
Schools opened up to train the lower classes how to become the perfect spouse, these schools attracted the attention of the rich, they would go to purchase who they thought would be best for them, but not all went to school were the ones picked. Some makes and females would be kidnapped and sold at cheaper prices to the rich.
Plot
In the future in order to keep track in America tags all humans, but in result makes all within the fortress die at 27, unless you have taken Venus, you must be rich to buy it so most lower classes are taught how to be the perfect spouse to have the change to not die (more die then live.) By the way, education is somewhat rare for lower class, the only education is how to be the perfect spouse. In this there will be three rich families, who ever makes them will pick their name of their family and will get to pick who they want as their spouse, out of these rich families there can be more getting married (they would be siblings), so another role-player could be a different rich sibling in the same family. If there is one sibling in a rich family they can pick three-seven different wives/husbands (another female can have a wife and a husband can have a husband if thatβs what the role-player would like, which is illegal, but allowed).

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 4 authors
One of the guards was going to shoo Didier off when he first saw him approaching, but his attitude quickly changed when he realized who it was. He recognized the young man from the campaign ads that the senior D'Toussaint had run in order to flaunt his 'family values.'
In the beginning of the two-minute television bit, Argent D'Toussaint had walked (addressing the audience all the while) through a quaint living room to a kitchen (neither were actually theirs). There a smiling wife & son happily prepared a family meal (as if they ever cooked meals for themselves, even then).
Didier had been the son in that scene, proudly wielding a chopping board full of diced vegetables. His siblings made their debut when Argent took the pot of food to a picnic table outside where the other D'Toussaints were seated.
The captor cleared his throat instead & straightened out his posture. "She's a dangerous radical extremist," he finally replied. "Responsible for the death of several innocent workers during their theft of a shipping truck."
"She'll be responsible for a lot more deaths when those pills don't get to their intended destination!" The second guard kicked Sara-Lin once more in the hip.
"Hey, watch it!" Didier accidentally let his facade of aloofness slip for split-second. He looked down at Sara-lin once more. He saw one of her hands weakly fumbling with a scrap of paper. He hastily added, "If she's unconscious she won't be able to name the other trash that helped her carry out her filthy crimes."
"That's what I've been tryin' to tell this knucklehead!" The first guard snarled and smacked the second guard on the back of his head.
"Well we had to make sure she was roughed up some! She's dangerous!"
Didier interrupted the two's bickering. "Here, let me help you lift her up." He bent down to lift Sara-Lin up & took the opportunity to snatch up the paper scrap as well. The first guard, still scolding the second, rushed over to help him lift her.
"Don't just stand there, you dolt! He's not going to help me carry her there the whole way, so hurry up & grab his end!" He tried to position Sara-Lin in a way that her weight was more so on him than on Didier.
The second guard grumbled but took over for Didier as he was ordered to.
Didier watched as the bizarre trio hobbled away. He wished there was more that he could do for the girl, but, given her committed crimes, there was nothing he could have done at the moment without seeming like a sympathizer. He reached into his pocket & felt the crumpled parchment he had taken from her.
The guards eventually reached a tall, fortified building. To Sara-Lin, it was just a big blur. One of the guards kicked her.
"Wake up already!" She weakly coughed up more blood onto her shirt. They dragged her inside and threw her in a cell. "Who wants to see her?"
"Suzuki, you idiot!"
Sara-Lin curled up in her cell.
He intended to read the note later when there was no one else around. If he was caught reading a message that a radical had written that could be the end of his free train ride. He could not risk it right now, not out here in the open. He had run over to Sara-Lin with the intention of helping her, maybe even offer to purchase her to take her off of their hands, but he had never expected her crimes to be so...extreme. She had seemed so small & fragile. Alas, it would take a different strategy to help that girl.
For now he had other matters to attend to though. He took his hand out of his pocket & started heading back towards the bench, wondering if Synclaire had stuck around or not. In spite of what she had said about herself Didier found her to be quite likable. & her flawless appearance did not hurt either, of course..
"What the-" She muttered. Meredith went to the front door and opened it quietly. She closed it behind her. She went in the direction where it seemed to be coming from. She came to a street littered with sticks, rocks pinecones, you name it. She walked over to a man stuffing something in his pocket. She held her head up high, trying to seem more upper class like.
"Excuse me, but what happened here?" She tried to show as little concern as possible.
Before he was even halfway there, he was interrupted by a small, curly haired, upper-class girl in a purple dress. The child bore a strange resemblance to a life-size Shirley Temple doll. Looking up at him with large, round eyes, she asked, Excuse me, but what happened here?
He glanced briefly at the trail of blood that the captive had left in her wake- which must have been what the girl was inquiring about. He shook his head sadly, reluctant to recap the events to someone so young.
"They caught a violent radical," he said hesitantly. He decided to leave out any mention of murder & bloodshed, which struck him as too graphic & intense for her. "They took her to the prisons..."
He gave the child a curious look. "Where are your parents? You really shouldn't be out here alone."

I see the IC posts have already started, but this RP is labeled as "Open" in the forums, so I'm double-checking. :)
