Introduction
ExLine:HERO, the much anticipated sequel to the groundbreaking virtual reality game ExLine, promised a game so realistic that players would never be able to distinguish it from reality. However, upon it's release avid players were disappointed by the game. Although the game was free of cost to anyone that wanted a copy, it was heralded as a waste of the money buyers spent to go to the store to buy it.
Rather than the immersive fighting game with a plot that rivaled any other seen prior that the first Exline was known for, HERO lacked even an opening scene. Starting with the player sitting in front of a strange looking puzzle, the only text that appeared at the bottom of the screen stated simply 'level one'. Upon seeing this, most dropped the game to never so much as glance at it again. Others attempted to solve the puzzle, and three days later a post on 2Can announced that they had solved the first puzzle only to be confronted with a large hedge maze labeled 'level two'.
Few made it past the first level, even less made it past the second. By the time the final level was reached, only four of the millions of players remained.
Upon completing the 99th level, a game of nearly impossible chess starring you as the King piece, your headset began to spark, bursting into flames as you threw it into the trash. Disappointed in the game you had invested hours in destroying the expensive piece of technology before you could see the ending of the game, you barely noticed the knock on the door. The sound of the door creaking open. The quiet footsteps in the hall outside your bedroom. All went unnoticed until a silver-haired man who had appeared in the doorway spoke.
"Congragulations, player, and welcome to project Iris."

EXLINE.EXECUTIVES
RULES
β£ Please be able to make at least one format 1 (texting app style) post a week, and one format 2 (standard 300+ word third person style) post every fortnight. It's not overly demanding, but do make sure you can commit to that.
β£ Be respectful of your fellow roleplayers in the OOC, keep in game rivalries in game!
β£ Make your intent to apply for a role known in the reservation thread. Applications are just a way to get a feel for your writing style, so if I've roleplayed with you in the past and nobody is competing for the role I'll likely just give the spot to you. :)
β£ NO GODMODDING, there will be combat in this roleplay (though mostly with NPCs) so make sure your character's skills are balnced out by their weaknesses.
β£ Take sexually explicit scenes to the PMs, nobody else wants to read that.
β£ Should all the hero roles be filled and you really want a spot, feel free to message @Elision and she will see if you can be fit in somewhere. You may be allowed to take on one of the ExLine Executives or play a part as an antagonist in the first arc who joins the team.
β£ Have fun! Is that not what we're all here for?

The room smelt like butane even after the windows were opened. On the third floor of a small, single motel room, the sour stench continued to spread and the culprit continued to toy with a palm sized torch, half tempted to forgo safety and burn the grimy, STD-infested Hellhole down.
"Fuck," He cursed loud, free, and angry. He curled his bottom lip with his teeth and winced when the dry, dehydrated skin burned on contact."Fuck!" Kyoya, writhing with anger, curled his hands into fists and pounded on the keyboard, breaking the plastic and sending white keys flying to his feet. Naturally, when a separate party lowers their guard - even just the slightest amount - he attacks. Trust reveals vulnerabilities, and he planned on sinking his teeth into this with intentions of gutting the organization from the inside out, if only to sooth his capricious curiosity. The volcanic energy of his heart kept his life in motion, but it could also torment him. That was his current reality now that he was realizing how in the dark the keepers of Project Iris kept him.
The so-called 'project' presented him and five others with a pitch that sounded like a premise for a light novel or anime series, but the suits in charge weren't idiots and they definitely weren't stupid enough to leave their networks unprotected, to his chagrin. He took the keyboard in his hands, lifted it above his hands and slammed it down into the desk's corner, pushing all of his wrath into the the violent motion so when the plastic would hit, it would break. It shattered instead: noise, and then silence. Kyoya dropped the keyboard and reached back to his open laptop, where he only went through the motions of erasing his web and digital presence before shoving it into his backpack. Time was running out and he'd have to reserve hacking into the mysterious organization another day because for now, he was strictly I-R-L.
He stared at his phone in the elevator and left the rest of his usually on-hand electronics in the motel room, kept locked beneath the queen sized bed. The message, which included a seemingly non-threatening location, didn't waver or disappear and by the time he had returned to the ground he came to accept the reality of his situation; he was going to walk a few blocks and enter an ambiguous situation that wasn't guaranteed to not kill him. It was far from the sketchiest situation he had been in and it definitely didn't seem like the strangest (that went to the furry genocide cult for now), but for some reason he felt calm, like he knew that no one would be waiting to kill him or worse, arrest him.
Is this what they call trust? Oh, gross. On second thought, just let him die now.
