Introduction
A large company as taken control of all these trends. A new product called a Soulie that has captured the attention of every age group. The Soulie provides escape from reality, taking shape of a crystal, jem, stone, metal, pendent, anything as a Soulie Stone is as unique as it's wearer, transforming itself to satisfy it's master. This wonderful piece of jewelery can offer a sanctuary for any and all, bringing the soul of the wearer to it's own personal paradise; a world away from the world.
Nearly all in the world has a Soulie is some shape or form and it is in Danksion City from which this new technology was founded. In fact, so popular the Soulie has become in Danksion City, the city is often nicknamed 'The Soul City.'
From its automatic personalization, it's rather cheap pricing, and the great sanctuary it provides for resting the soul, there is not a single bad thought about the Soulies. Of course, that is what illusions do when reality is left behind for a paradise. A paradise where there is no one by yourself. A world devoid of love, or friendship; just yourself.
Several years after the initial release of the Soulies, after sales had sky rocketed, after nearly everyone had acquired a Soulie of their own, curious things happened; the soul no longer returned to the body. Deaths of this type were, in the beginning, ignored, but when more and more people died from use of a Soulie, reality had to take action against the illusion of a perfect sanctuary for the soul. Reality however, lost.
You, my friend, live in Danksion City, by the looks of your records. I cannot stress how glad I am to see someone like you so healthy, despite your Soulie. You see my friend, even all the warnings against the Soulie and it's use, no one could stop. It was an addiction like that to drugs expect, this war was impossible to fight. If I were to draw a chart out for you, the graph will show you that the majority of death's caused by Soulies has decreased to this point. Your confused? Well, you see, there are only so many left of the population that there isn't enough people to die like it did before. If I were to guess, there would only be around....2 million people left in this nation.
I wish you well my friend, as even though I am a doctor, I still use my Soulie...Haha, yes, I can't stop! No one can really... This will be my last time talking to you, my Soulie calls.
(I'm sorry if this intro isn't clear, please ask any questions in OOC)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
::Please attempt to keep this in Danksion City::
The nation of the US has a population now reduced to about 2 million after the mass death's caused by to much use of an individual's Soulie. All technologies are still running though, and those still living can live rather comfortably.
Danksion City itself is a large urban city , an equal to New York city.

The Soul Company: The company which first created the Soulies and grew very rich and powerful from it's sales. After the population took a nose dive, the company fell into ruin. It's buildings were business used to be conducted are now all boarded up.

Re: [OOC] Soulies
Try anything you would like. I've never really started any RP before so feel free as I try to get a feel for this all.
Re: [OOC] Soulies
Also I wanted to ask your permission for my character to have a child, and for me to controll it. Though it would only be a toddler? What do you think? Thankyou x
Re: [OOC] Soulies
When you use a soulie, you would look like your sleeping. Eyes closed an all.
Re: [OOC] Soulies
I do really like this plot though! I'm looking forwards to it and I'm going to start my character as soon as I can.
Re: [OOC] Soulies
Catherine: The time that people are in reality is dependent on how far their soul is already in their Soulie. Before becoming totally immersed into their Soulie, it could be said that they spend a relatively normal time doing things such as socializing and working. Jobs are rare with the dying population, but are still available in more crowded cities. As for the time, it is only a few years since they stopped production, but there are still plenty out and around as they were all produced in surplus. It is impossible to reuse a Soulie that had belonged to someone else.
Tigger: Soulies are, in a way, highly addictive. There is always a degree of resistance from everyone, but some are just born with more and some will fall to it's addictive nature quite quickly. The remaining population are only trying to use them less and hopefully break away from them. It would be alright if you were to create a character that had already broken away from his/her Soulie.
And thank you so much for the compliments guys. Again, I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry about not being active with this! If you have any other questions at all, just ask away.
Re: [OOC] Soulies
Thankyou, I am very excited about taking part!
Re: [OOC] Soulies
Is everyone addicted to the Soulies or can some resist them? (Not that I intend to have my character completely resisting in the slightest.)
Also, are people starting to attempt to create a resistance against the Soulies, or is the remaining population just trying to use them less than they were before?
Anyway, you can count on me being a part of this roleplay! :)
