Introduction

We don’t exist. Never have and never will. That is to the normal population. To you however we seem very real. We are located in a rather secluded area. Not that our location matters so much to you, it is not like you are going anywhere. Welcome to the Department of Genetic Modifications, or what we nicknamed it; the DOG Mountain. Enjoy your stay.

You are all different; That’s the problem. All been brought here for different reasons. Some needed to be silenced. You typed our name into an internet search program, we were alerted. No need to share your knowledge with the rest of the world, but you are normal. We will just make sure you stay silent. Others, they are more problematic. You are deformed, we are only trying to fix you. Of course there are always a few errors, but all for the greater good. Certainly the facility is not overly comfortable, but when your fixed you can move up…maybe.



The Plot:
People have been taken from their homes in order to be re-located to the Department of Genetic Modifications. Some have attempted to research about the department and have ended up with a visit and more or less detainment in the top cells. These are like normal rooms, and corridors. You are all treated nicely, but are forbidden from leaving the area. To enforce this there have been guards posted at all possible exits along with metal doors, which are obviously locked. While most are treated nicely, others are a little…rebellious they have prison cells just below the apartments of the norms as the department has nicknamed them. Even so, you are treated fairly…as criminals are.
Below this level are the mutations. People who have been born deformed or had incidents that have caused them to somehow change. They insist they simply have abilities, but the department believes them to be causes of danger to the normal populace, and therefore must be detained and “fixed”. They are treated as less than animals in order to make sure they maintain a weak stance and no threat. Those that know of other people similar to themselves are interrogated for information. Each stay in cells which are uniquely built to adjust to each mutations limits.
Rumour has it that the mutations are getting restless and a certain one is stirring desperate to get out. You have a choice- Will you join her and be free or die trying? Or will you remain?

Setting:
The facility is located underground in America. Near New York City. The only way out of the facility is through the top floor and past the guards. Also note, they are meant to escape, though I will make this difficult and may take a while. Once they are out I am planning for them to split into two groups. Those that want to do good and attempt to use their abilities for the population and those that want revenge and power. Obviously this is not set (don’t worry, I do have a plot, just having it a little mysterious for now), and up for discussion in OOC.

Character Slots:

Supreme Director- In charge of the Facility.
Amaro De'or played by Shané

Assassins- These are basically the guards and torturers of those beneath. Respectful to the commoners at the top of the department and less the cordial to those marked as “Human Criminals”. As for the mutations, they can do what they like to them. They are entrusted with three main goals:
A). To collect those located that are either interested in the facility or show “differences”
B). To maintain control and weaken those in the bottom cells to ensure escape is improbable and also to acquire information needed from those detained.
C). To assist in controlling those the Scientist’s need and also to work under the Supreme Director.
They are broken into groups. The Second (basically second to the Supreme Director) is the one that has the most privileges as well as being skilled in his/her field. The Higher Order works beneath the Second and also have a lot of privileges and freedom in their work. The Agents are just your average guards. These can be used by all role-players.

Slots:
Second in Command- Either Male or Female
The Higher Order-
1. Male Slot
2. Female Slot
3. Male Slot


Common Norms- Average people found searching or gaining information about the department. Cared for well, only lack freedom. These people are not needed to commence the roleplay, they are only if someone is interested.
Slots:
1. Female Slot
2. Male Slot

Human Criminals- Normal people who were originally Common Norms, but became rebellious in the want for freedom. Now they are kept in cells, though are usually kept fairly well. There are occasions however when the Agents decide to mess with them.

Slots:
1. Male Slot
2. Female Slot
3. Male/Female Slot

Mutations- These people have special abilities and are kept in cells specifically designed to hold them despite their talents. Please be creative with these, and I ask that we have no demonic powers just to keep it somewhat realistic (This includes ghosts, vampires, future telling etc. Just doesn't appeal to me, sorry). More focusing on mind powers, elemental and animal powers.

Slots:
1. Raven Umbra played by Shané
2. Male Slot
3. Female Slot
4. Male Slot
5. Male/Female Slot



Character Skeleton:
Name: (Would really like each person to come up with a fancy name style to use at the top of each of your posts. Look at both my characters sheets and at the top there will be there “Name Titles”.)
Sex:
Age: (This can be literally anything within a normal human lifetime. Feel free to have older and younger people. Don’t need to have all in their late teens.)
Role: (High Order, Second, Mutants etc...)
Physical Description: (Please have a picture, no anime/cartoon. Thanks. Also please add clothing styles etc.)
Supernatural Talents: (Please be creative, and try to avoid double ups. If there is already a character with you power, please change it. Note that this section is only for mutants).

Personality Traits: (In depth)
Vices:
Strengths:
Fears: (Just wanted to say, I really don’t want everyone putting “death” here. If you put it down, try to think of something else as well.)
Likes/Dislikes:

History: (In depth)



Floor Maps:

Here is the basic layout for each floor. Each floor is to scale. The lift is actually very large (due to government funding, money was not an issue) and about the size of a small room. This should give you an idea about the sizes of the cells and the massive offices.

1st Floor:
Image


2nd Floor:
Image

All the apartments contain the basics of a bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom.


3rd Floor:
Image

Cells contain a small fold out bed and toilet, nothing else. Shackles are provided on the wall for the guards to restrain those causing problems.


4th Floor:
Image

These cells have no beds, but a small toilet. Each one is designed to contain the mutant and suppress their powers to minimise escape. Shackles and shock collars are also available.


5th Floor:
Image



Image
Note: Blank rooms contain shackles on wall and also a rack, thanks to Amaro's taste for the medieval. Just thought that should help you picture it and also allow the Higher Order and Second to know what tools are available. As for what is stored in the two storage areas, you can use your imagination.

Rules

Rules:
1. This is an ADVANCED roleplay. I want people who know how to construct art with words, and people who have experience. This also means LITERATE. I will not accept two paragraghs or less. There are so many things to write about, even in a lull such as feelings, description of location, character plotting etc. I want people to join who know what they are doing.
2. I also want commitment. If you submit a character, I expect you to actually want to post. I would like everyone to post every day, if not every second day. If you can’t do this, please don’t join.
3. Characters- I want each character to be developed and thought through. I also would like to have people think outside the box and not have your average character. Try to come up with back plots for your character such as a want for revenge, a secret romance, a broken past etc. Back plots add to the main plot.
4. While this is an advanced roleplay, this does not mean I want it to be vulgar. Please keep swearing to a minimum and out of courtesy to other players, block them out. Also keep sexual references out, it’s not necessary in this rp.
5. If you join, be ready to work as a team. I would like everyone to be active in the OOC, giving suggestions to the plot and really working together. I don’t want to be a dictator, I prefer a democracy, working as a team will also ensure everyone gets to have their character in the lime light.
6. Obvious one such as no Godmod, killing characters without permission etc. If you don’t understand, obviously you are not advanced enough for the rp.
7. Enjoy it. If you don’t like the plot line, don’t join. I want this to be enjoyable and help extend us as writers. Be prepared to get sucked into the story ;)

Re: [OOC] Normality

Final called me In. When he is back I'm sure he can vouch for me.


Re: [OOC] Normality

Just to let you all know that I have re-made "Normality" and I have named it "Genetic Modifications". This is to draw more people and also to remove the OOC topics. All of you are welcome to re-join if you want to. Every single one will be accepted if you re-enter your characters, I will simply add more slots for newcomers.

Hope you care to join me ;) (and that we get some high orders!!!!)


Re: [OOC] Normality

Got bad news...Safton is no longer joining us. I have just messaged the Illusionist to see where his character is at...sorry for the delay. If anyone has anyone they think might possibly join, please ask them. I really need these characters for future plot ideas.


Re: [OOC] Normality

:O *blows up into a million pieces, flinging chopped up and burnt appendage bits all over the walls and ceilings* :O Can't wait!! *explodes again*


Re: [OOC] Normality

Depend on how fast The Illusionist and Safton get in their character profiles.


Re: [OOC] Normality

So, will it be possible that we may start tommoroooooow? :o I'm so pumped for this rp, I'm gonna explode!


Re: [OOC] Normality

Yesh! I love that part!


Re: [OOC] Normality

Awesome, Ican't wait to start (:


Re: [OOC] Normality

Yes, Desire you were right. The Citilife Centre is found in New York City. This is going to be a little strange for me as I live down under, so warn me if I make any obvious mistakes ;)

As for starting and our lack of male contributors, I have found two poeple willing to join us and therefore all the spots are filled! Yay! Once there character sheets are up I will start the posting ( they are already written up to lessen delays, plus me being excited and wanting to write).

Perhaps our first few posts could involve him interrogating her/something and having her sent to the 3rd floor? I was going to just have her piss off an NPC and get moved... but this could be more fun AND provide a good bit of plotline.


Re: [OOC] Normality

I think it's in New York, am I right ?


Re: [OOC] Normality

And now I curse double posts for all eternity!!!


Re: [OOC] Normality

We still need more MAAAAAAAAALES. *continues to rock back and forth in masculine corner*

Woops, by the way, outside of the DOG Mountian's "Citigroup" building, what city is it located in? I would think that most or all of our characters came from the states, right?


Re: [OOC] Normality

No problem Shane, I am willing to do anything to make this the best role play. I find things like this a lot easier with perfectionists. With "I don't care" attitudes, nothing gets done right and people get mad. Hehe, but then, you have to have members like us who do care to make it work too. Can't wait to start posting!


Re: [OOC] Normality

FinalHope- Know what you mean...Will have the remaining "High Order" be males to keep it at a 5:7 ratio, which isn't too bad...

Desire- I like Sasha, hence the acception lol. She is a good addition to the roleplay.

Aphrimus- Strong character, really like her. Definately will add something exciting to the rp. It will be interesting to see how Raven will respond to the other strong willed characters. Also, I think Amarus will have something to say about the hacking. Not so much the pizza, but someone who gained internet? Not on. ;)

Terrorer- Thanks lots. Just wanted to let you know that I do really like Wymarc, and am not trying to pick on you or anything with all the charrie changes...just a bit of a perfectionist ;P


Re: [OOC] Normality

Ok Shane. I will do that now. Lol sorry for a bit of a wait.


Re: [OOC] Normality

Looked at the characters...and DAMN, there are alot of girls! Only three actual guys in this role play. I shall now go to my masculine corner of the forum! *heads to corner to commence fetal position*


Re: [OOC] Normality

Ight, Second in command is up (: Hope you like Sasha, lemme know if i needa change anythingg.


Re: [OOC] Normality

She can only see peoples fate as far as the choices they make. It's always changing and no answer is certain. She has to touch the person to see it and it will always change based on their choices and she can't see her own fate. And it doesn't happen every time she touches someone. its random and rare.


Re: [OOC] Normality

Alright I got one of my girls up and I'm working on my second :P
