Hiyaa, This soryline does sound awesome. I am just wandering, how oftern are people in the reality world? Do people still have jobs, houses, keep up family relationships etc? Obviously if they havent been killed...

I think the plot to this is absolutely brilliant! Just a few questions on my part, in addition to those that Catherine has already asked.
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! :)

Another thing that has occured to me is time scale? How long has it been since the Soulies started killing people? If you are born after the company shut down can you still aquire a Soulie? Pehaps from a family member?
Thankyou, I am very excited about taking part!

[chinaji]

I am so sorry about this guys. Please forgive me!

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.

[KrazyTigger]

It's ok! Ok, I think I understnad all of that now. Just one more question from me, not sure if Catherine has some more, but when they're in their own paradise, how much time will have passed in the reality world? Because surely if they're stood in the reality world, staring into space for hours, it might be a bit odd. Just a thought! :)
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.

Alright, your free to start whenever it suits you. I'll jump in to GM anything when it seems like the right time.

When you use a soulie, you would look like your sleeping. Eyes closed an all.

[catherinebutcher]

I just wandered - and its upto as your the boss =D - what if ... Like the People just sort of day dreamed or, you know just slept like you said... But only seconds or whatever pass in the real world but you could of been in paradise for a week? Its just an idea :)

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

[chinaji]

That, Catherine, is an excellent idea. It would be as simple seconds would be quite the effect on the mind of the human's reality though, if you know what I'm trying to say.

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.

Hey, you might count me in too. this roleplay sounds quite interesting, and I'm anxious to get in to a good one that doesn't die off after a couple posts. this sounds like it might keep up for a little bit. but yeah, count me in, if you're going through with it.

This sound really cool and interesting, but I'm wondering if it's still going to happen. I'm sure it's not too late, it's generated some interest. If you're continuing this, Chinaji, I will most certainly join!
