"Come, gather around! I shall tell you all the story of our people, as it was told to me, and to my father before me, and so on since the dawn of all things.

In a time lost to our people, long ago, Exis Basy was created by the Light Givers. It was given to our people, that we might exist on this realm bathed in the constant glow of our creators. We were given this at a cost, however; they gave us only the foundations we needed to become a thriving civilization.

They had given us metals, cut from the sun itself and used to forge strong housing. They gave us a dome of both impenetrable glass and a powerful forcefield around that. They gave us knowledge, of how to craft and how to raise beasts and crops for food. But most importantly, though we did not wish it, they gave us freedom.

For after gifting us with all they had to give, the Light Givers departed, never to be seen again. At the last, they had left us a name; the Exis. In those early days of our people, the great woods around our city glowed with unholy purpose, but no foul light could penetrate the Dome.

Of course, as time went on, our people grew. Families expanded, and so to did our city. We exhausted the supplies of strange metal that we had been given, and so we went forth to take wood from the woods, using technology that the Director and his council had long studied to bring to use.

But, that was long ago. These days, everyone is on about finding things out in the woods, but if you ask me, we should stay here- here, where we have been safe in the light, for over a thousand years!"



-----------------



The Dome, Exis Basy. A city of perpetual, if artificial light. Built on a foundation of strange technology, the people within have grown up protected from the harsh climate outside. Unwilling to withstand darkness for any length of time, exploration has been an affair of hours, but there are strange things to be found deep in the woods surrounding the Dome that can't be reached in such short a time.

Using what technology they have, the scientists of Exis Basy have designed what they call a Light Suit. True to its name, it is a suit made of extremely light ferro fibers, designed to be skin tight and comfortable.

You, one of the many young Exis have been chosen by the current Director to take part in the first true exploration mission; a two week long excursion into the wilds. There are untold amounts of information to be found, and perhaps even the origins of Exis Basy, and the disappearance of the Light Bringers can be learned.



------------------



Exis Basy is, more or less, something of a utopia. Everyone does some work, but the load is distributed amongst everyone. While the Director has, over time, had to remove some small freedoms, it has ensured that the population is low maintenance and capable of adapting.

Most of the Exis are active anywhere between twelve to twenty hours every day, sleeping an average of four to six. The high energy is due in large part to the state of constant light within the Dome, generated by the forcefield, as well as the Director's tower in the center of town.

Aside from work, there are a few things people can do in town to keep themselves busy; there is a game hall, several public pools, and an arena for various kinds of sports, ranging from Magbow competitions to track running. Additionally one can expect to find a lot of different clubs for various, more intellectual pursuits.

Food, while not incredibly varied, is both healthy and tasty in most of its forms. For the most part the Exis society is completely vegetarian. There is livestock in the form of goats and chickens, however they are rarely butchered for food, generally only receiving such treatment on special occasions when they can be spared.

Medically speaking, there is little need in Exis Basy due to their largely secure society. The rare sickness is taken care of one of the few doctors, however the isolation has also lowered their immune systems, and means that returning workers and scouts have to be completely purged of exterior traces before being allowed back into the city.

There are roughly five thousand families inside Exis Basy, all of which are required to have at least one child, but are allowed no more than two. It has kept the population relatively in check, and minimizes the dangers of inbreeding and overpopulation.



(Note, this is largely optional for character building purposes. Any questions can be directed towards me.)
(Additionally, I plan on keeping this RP small; don't be offended if I do not accept you yet. Later on, I may open up more slots.)
Character Sheet:
Name:

Gender:

Age:

Former Occupation (If Any): - Due to the wonders of the Exis society, a job isn't entirely mandatory. If you had one, list it here, and pay mind to what a previous job might have granted you, skill-wise.

Social Class: - This coincides heavily with the above field, and determines what areas of expertise you are familiar with.

Physical Description: - Fairly self explanatory, more detail is best.

Psychological Description: - This includes, but is not limited to; Personality, hobbies, prominent feelings and emotions, psychological strengths and weaknesses, general attitude, philosophies, and goals.

Background: - Not demanding a whole lot here, but go for it if you want to- Something basic at least.


Traits: - Good (or bad) traits that the character exhibits.

Skills: - Natural skills and abilities that affect day to day life.


Equipment: - Where you will list your desired equipment. Starting kit is rather low, but later on more variety will be opened up. You can use all of the available options, or choose to specialize; just remember, as more equipment becomes unlocked, you'll have to mind your encumbrance.

Light Suit: The Light suit is a completely body-hugging mesh of ferro fibrous material that is both comfortable and functional in keeping out the undesired elements of a hostile world. While hardly to be considered armor, it keeps one safe from the elements in conjunction with the helmet and backpack. Usually worn under regular clothing. - MANDATORY
Light Suit Helmet: A Helmet that completes the Light Suit, it contains a varied suite of sensors and visual modes, perfect for a scouting expedition into an unknown world. When worn, it makes the Light Suit completely airtight, and attaches to the Light Suit Pack for oxygen supply. - MANDATORY
Light Suit Pack: The Light Suit Pack contains all of the oxygen for the Light Suit's user, as well as a self contained power supply for the Helmet's head lamps, sensors, and sustenance deposits. It also contains a Body-Waste elimination device. - MANDATORY

MagBow: A Bo-staff that has two magnetic ends, a quiver of bolts, and a thumb-piece. The thumb-piece allows the bolts to be notched into it, at which point the user can aim, centered by the Bo, and activate the inert thumb-piece. When activated, it too becomes magnetic, drawing itself to the rod, and launching the bolt as a projectile. Highly accurate and used as a defensive weapon by the explorers and loggers.

Laxe: A Laser Axe. Similar to the MagBow, appears to be a long metal rod. Two focusing points on the end can be activated to form a slightly bowed laser point, which can be used as a chopping axe. The focusing points can be adjusted anywhere from two inches in width- providing a high-powered laser point that is capable of melting many metals- to a three foot long stream that can be used as a wood cutting saw, if little else.

H.A.R.D: The Hack/Acquire Resource Device, H.A.R.D is a five by seven by two inch device that can be linked up with any technology within Exis Basy. Creation of new H.A.R.D devices is nearly impossible, but those that are around are extremely valuable. It is theorized that they may even be used to link with technology outside Exis Basy, if it was made by the Creators.
