Board Thread:Role Plays (AU)/@comment-24711632-20141111073035

So, I was looking at some of the rpgs coming out off japan for the PS Vita today, and this one stuck out to me(literally, it was hanging off the shelf precariously). Background goes as follows:

The events of this world take place on earth, in the year 102014. The planet's surface is no longer capable of supporting life. As such, humans live in underground cities called "Panopticons", where they struggle to research how to be able to live on the surface once more. A Panopticon functions as an artificial nation in the form of a city state that provides security for its inhabitants, in exchange for contributions each inhabitant is obligated to make towards the state.

Overpopulation has become such an issue that the Panopticons have implemented a drastic measure: anyone arrested for any crime is found guilty, regardless of whether or not they actually are. Based on the philosophy that newborns waste resources, the very existence of a person is a crime; more than 100 million people serve as criminals throughout the world. Criminals serving sentences are forced into providing labor for the state, in the form of participation in war as "volunteers", in order to regain their freedom.

Criminals are forced to battle giant monsters called "Abductors" as punishment. Defeating the Abductors, which are known to capture civilians, reduces the Criminals' sentences, which start at 1,000,000 years. Criminals are placed under constant surveillance and have their rights stripped; personal rights can only be gradually regained through labor. Surveillance of criminals occurs in the form of dual-purpose androids known as Accessories, which watch over criminals whilst serving as partners to them during combat. Prisoners also wield thorns, grappling whips, which give the user additional mobility, as well as granting them one special ability, such as trap creation, shielding, and healing, among others.

This role play would come in portions, involving multiple missions(or following particular groups of characters, if enough people join. Just add your character, along with these important pieces of information.

Name: Nuf' Said

Panopticon: Choose a real world state, or come up with one just for the rp.

Weapons: Sorry to say, no RWBY weapons here. The weapons in this world fall into six categories, and you can carry two, while your Accessories can carry one.


 * Small Melee
 * Large Melee
 * Polearm
 * Personal Firearm
 * Multipurpose Firearm
 * Squad-Support Firearm

Thorn Color(and ability, when applicable): It isn't necessary to provide an ability, as they will be made available in the future.

Finally, just provide some backstory for the character. Please note that in order for your character to be on the battlefield, they must be a prisoner.
