THE MAIN FORUM

It was 2016 when President Harrow was elected to office, having promised to bring unity to the citizens of America. He said that before tackling other issues, he would solve the problem that plauged the American People. It was never exactly clear what that was, so people just assumed.

It is now 2034 and the people finally know what he was going to use to unite the citizens of the United States.

Fear.

President Harrow has stayed in office past the two allotted terms and absorbed the powers of the entire government and now has total control of America and power is growing. He now is deep into taking over Mexico and is weaving his way into Canada. And there is no one to stop him.

Anyone that opposes the President faces severe consequences; including enslavement, torture, and sometimes death. And even when only one person opposes him, their entire family is blacklisted and put into danger.

And those who show support? Well, they are rewarded greatly. Riches and a blind eye from the government. Sometimes. However, if you slip up and show yourself as a liar to anyone… well, you’re dead before you know it. No escaping when caught in a lie.

In eighteen years, people have gotten good at lying. But some got sick of it. A rebel army is growing just under President Harrow’s feet. The growing number of missing persons has the President preparing for an attack at any moment. The underground rebellion force, or Pylae (Latin for hope), works day in and day out. Their forces grow in number as well as the advancements in technology and weaponry.

There are four main subcategories in the Pylae Army.

The first is a Tinker. A Tinker is a scientist, working with the information they are given about Harrow’s world and trying to keep up with their advancement and even surpass. They are on the brink of being able to inject their solders with certain DNA reconfigurations to give them an edge in the upcoming war.

The second is a Tailor. Tailors are manufacturers. They produce anything and everything the Pylae needs from guns to clothing to food. They have found ways to farm and produce everything with the supplies that are given to them.

The third the Soldiers. These are not men and women who are forced to fight. They want to fight against President Harrow and his troops. They train day in and day out and are prepared at any second to attack to defend. Some of the sharpest and quickest minds are soldiers when they could be tinkers or spies. But most had their parents killed by the enemy. And they want revenge.

The final category is Spies. Spies are the quickest, silent, and most deadly of any group in the Pylae. And they are put in the most danger. They are sent above ground once every two weeks in groups to retrieve information on the progressing science and must take prisoners for interrogation, along with remembering everything they saw while above ground. Survival rate is thirty-seven percent.

A war is coming and the rebellion is prepared. Are you?

United, they stand.
Divided, they fall.

Well, well, well.

I figured I would officially make one of these for everyone.
Seemed like a good idea.
I'm hoping we can start soon. We currently have three characters, and I was hoping for five to begin..

We won't be cluttering up the IC thread with OOC at least.

Hopefully two more will come along soon. If not, what's ze plan?

Start without five people, if need be.
If you have any friends, feel free to be like -hey, this is something you should join-

Here's hoping for more people...I'll change my signature to help out

It sucks that a lot of my friends on here are hiatus(ed/ing).

I know so many people who would enjoy this, but they aren't here.

I just sent in my application! Can't wait to play you all!

Thank you for your application. The result is posted in a reply to your mail box.

we're almost there...

We're getting there.

One more person!

I'm hoping for an Ana X, but I'd be okay with anyone, really.

Yeah, I wish I knew someone who could rp with us, but my wife likes another site more than this one. :sigh:

My boyfriend isn't into roleplaying. It's unfortunate.
He's such a good writer too!

Oh well. Tell your friends/advertise a bit, everyone, please?

I haven't the slightest clue who would be interested... tis sad.

I don't even have any friends... sorry.

We could always start with what, four players? It might attract a few more.

Also, someone could take the challenge of posting as a second character. Just a thought, what does everyone else think?

that sounds like a good idea, how bout that dmitri?

Sorry, was away for the weekend. Some family emergencies..

We can start with four instead of five, hoping to attract more. I would prefer each person sticks to one for now, at least until we get rolling so that we can let others have more opportunity to choose the characters.

UNLESS, of course, someone wants to take an OC from the other side, not the rebellion side. Because that option is there.

I agree with just starting and keeping our options open. Quite frankly, I am involved in some other RPs, but this one interests me the most by a long shot. I may come up with an OC for the other side; I just haven't got any great ideas yet. We will see what happens though. I am ready to start any day. Quick question, are we starting with our powers, or are we going to recieve them later in the scenario?

Just has an idea for an evil OC. Drafting him up tonight, will submit to Dmitri tomorrow or next day.

As far as the abilities go, I'm decided on receiving them after. I'm really hoping for Ana X, because
she;s the first test subject and I would like to keep it that way.

Also, I'll be posting your mini-IC profiles to the first post soon with the genetic mutation your character will receive once those are underway.

I may or may not have time tonight to write the first post, but expect it by tomorrow. My mother is really ill, so I'm tending to her for a bit.

A special thank you to keysburger for making an OC on the President's side. This totals us to five characters in play.

WE ARE NOW OPEN!

I'm currently writing the opening post! Exciting~

Looking forward to meeting you all in the rp soon.

Also, for your first post, please put your character's name and title.

We only need it for the first, then we can scrap it.

Hey, everyone. Just a reminder that we're now open, and everyone may post their starting bits. I know that keysburger and I already have.
