(This is an updated version of an old RP I made)

The world has been reduced to a desert. Not much of humanity survives. All that's left of the human race lives in the supercity Epsilon, built to shelter up to 100 million people from the numerous catastrophes that could strike it.

However, even though the city is a safe haven, and citizens enjoy adequate liberty and freedom, the city is still heavily divided, separated into three districts:

The Elysium District is by all means a utopia, where its inhabitants live like kings, crime is nonexistent, and there isn't a single citizen who hasn't died of a cause other than old age. However, Elysium is only for the highest class, those the all-powerful governing body known as The Council has deemed useful to society. People such as master artists, top level scientists, philosophers and the incredibly wealthy.

The Polaris District is home to the middle and high class citizens and three quarters of the city's citizens. This district is very much like normal big cities of the present day, such as New York City and Tokyo. The citizens enjoy a comfortable, if not luxurious life with low crime rates and adequate health care and education.

The Solaris District is the largest district in terms of land size, but also one of the least populated, second to only Elysium. This is the location of the city's farms and utilities, such as water and energy.

The Terra District is home to a quarter of the city's citizens and is the poorest district in the city. Police in this section of the city struggles against the crime syndicates that dominate, and most of its citizens struggle to survive.

These four districts are arranged in a torus pattern with the Elysium District in the center and the other three districts wrapped around it. These districts are further separated by massive walls 200 meters high and 20 meters thick. The only way to get past the wall is through a checkpoint, where a special passport that only government-approved citizens can carry.

Rules:
No Ubering
God-modding is allowed as long as it doesn't affect another RPer

Did you, by any chance, get this idea from the movie "Elysium?"

@WiFi

Honestly, when I wrote this RP a while ago, I didn't notice the unintentional similarity to that movie until after I made the original post.

Actually, I was inspired by the real world project that is Masdar City, while the layout was inspired by Ba Sing Se from Avatar.

Some Extra Information:

The technology level of Epsilon is about 40 years ahead of our modern day technology. This means basic (But not complex) artificial intelligence, driverless vehicles, holograms, and amazing medical technology.

Same couple, same criminal mastermind

Name: Kenji Ikezawa
Age: 25
Gen: M
Appearance: See my Avatar for reference
Kenji sports spiked midnight-black hair which has an odd habit of standing up even in the absence of wind. His skin is a light beige, but his face is a slightly lighter tone, due to its lack of exposure to sunlight. His face is almost always obscured by a mask, with a signature Rising-Sun on it. He is rarely seen wearing anything besides a professional-looking suit and tie, albeit with body armor underneath. From years of practicing Parkour and Krav Maga, his body demonstrates a reasonable amount of fitness. A military wristwatch is seen on his left arm.
District: All (has safehouses in all the districts, though mostly stays in the Polaris district with his girlfriend.)
Occupation: Criminal Mastermind
Tools: Various kinds of weapons
Personality: Extremely methodical and analytical at whatever he does, from assassination to sabotage. Essentially a chess-master on the urban battlefield, being able to constantly second-guess his opponents moves, and where they might be going to try to kill him. When with other members of his gang or even his girlfriend, he is very introverted and withdrawn, even occasionally preferring to "speak" in a sign-language system created and used by others in his organization. You can try to coax personal information from him if you try very hard, but when you're done, watch your back.
Bio: Born in Polaris, he was a law-abiding citizen for most of his 27 years of life. He studied hard as a teen, and was an attractive target for many universities across the world. When he graduated from his university with a major in Economics, he began a business that went well at first. However, after a rival monopoly from Elysium began competing with Kenji, sustaining a successful business became out of the question and he lost customers. After his final client pulled out and his company was declared "Bankrupt", he had a mental breakdown. He was forced to leave his hometown and relocate to Terra where at first he was promised a home by the government in Elysium, but he was actually just left on his own. He turned to dr/ugs and alco/hol, and was homeless on the streets of the Terra district.
On the streets of Terra, he observed a massive amount of economic disparity between those living in Epsilon, and he decided that he wanted to make a difference. He was tired of the wealthy living lavishly and ignoring the needs of those suffering around him. He spent time training Parkour and Krav Maga, in order to help him survive on the streets. He wrote short manifestos about taking down the rich and distributing wealth to the poor -- many of his original messages can still be seen in the form of graffiti in Terra.
Suddenly, he changed his habits when he realized that his girlfriend from college, Janice, had an apartment in Epsilon. He got off all dr/ugs and alco/hol, and began to live in his girlfriend's apartment for a while. He spent his time watching action flicks as an inspiration, but also spent time researching espionage and terrorism. This resulted him in spending every last bit of money on weapons, and a new persona, at the age of 23. He emerged as a thief, and a terrorist.
Fueled by a deep hatred of the wealthy and those who perpetuated misery and poverty in Epsilon, he constantly harassed local establishments within the Elysium district, donating that money to those in the Terra district and making a name for himself. Along with a few other men like him, he formed an urban-guerrilla terrorist organization aiming to take down the wealthy and give to the poor: The The Known Brotherhood. Hiding his identity behind a mask he created himself (the Rising Star mask), he embarked on a life of stealing goods from the vaults of government official and sabotaging factories with others in his gang to end the blatant economic disparity in Epsilon.

Name: Janice Li
Age: 24
Gen: F
Appearance: Janice is a young Asian woman, standing at about 5' 7". Her eyes are active and are usually consistent with her emotions, especially when she is a state of questioning or excitement. She is slender with an hourglass body that hides a great deal of strength that she actually possesses. Her black hair extends to her shoulders like silk, but few can even dare to ask her for the right to touch it.
District: Polaris
Occupation: Hired Assassin, member of the Known Brotherhood
Tools: Anything, if it can kill someone.
Personality: A very intelligent but also very excitable young woman. She is very good at talking to people, but most people are oblivious to the fact that she rarely finds people worth talking to, and is highly selective of who she befriends. Even so, when she gets in a conversation with anyone, she can go on and on about her thoughts which always makes for a nice conversation, and her intelligent sense of humor brings a lot of geeks close to her. Despite her qualities as a very smart and upbeat young woman with a knack for conversation, she is quite far from being a "popular" girl (she usually stays away from the public anyways, due to her nature as a covert assassin). But rest assured, she has quite the group of people admiring her behind closed doors.
Bio: Born in the Polaris district to two wealthy scientists, Janice, like Kenji, had academics very heavily imposed on her as a child. She was an only child, so she learned to withstand being alone for long periods of time and spend whole days and nights studying in her room. As a result, when she entered the public school system, she went right through it like a knife through butter. She competed in city-wide competitions for mathematics and sciences (in which she met many friends and became quite the extrovert), and received a full scholarship to the local university. As a freshman, she met Kenji in an Economics class, and has been friends with him ever since.
Strongly influenced by Kenji's manifestos, and wanting to help her friends in the Terra district, she became an assassin and joined the Known Brotherhood. She trained herself to be an expert in Parkour, Eskrima, Krav Maga, Sambo and Tae Kwon Do. Alongside Kenji, she studied espionage and quickly rose up to become the top assassin both in the Known Brotherhood and all of Epsilon

(Yes, the RP can now begin)

Some Extra Information:

With the exception of Elysium, each ring of the city is further divided into Quarters, each quarter is governed as a city in its own right. Of course, all the quarter governments correspond directly to The Council, which rules over Elysium and the city as a whole.

I sat at my desk doing a little side along research, waiting for the chief to give me a new assignment or for quitting time.

Leon

Locked out again....My tenth attempt at hacking the elysium servers was once again a failure, I quickly purged my remote system of the tracker files injected, deleting the data and crashing the remote mainframe, I then switched over to my basic system, checking to see if I had any jobs or emails.

(Here we go again... Should I play the inventor, the revolutionary, or the half crazed 'prophet'... Nah, I'm going to choose someone who isn't a cynical sociopath.)

Name: Leon Hytiosv, often known as 'Mr. H' by coworkers.
Age: 53
Gen: Male
Appearance: A medium height but skinny man, most people would consider the almost elder looking Leon to be a old shopkeeper or a retiree. But with his neatly trimmed beard and round glasses, he becomes more of a mysterious doctor. Almost always he wears a simple dull violet jacket with black pants, for no reason anyone can figure out.

District: Polaris

Occupation: Police Psychologist.

Tools: Pen, notepad, and a old Swiss army knife.

Personality: Calm, even considered emotionless, Leon cares less for emotions and even less for jokes. The only things that seem to interest him are puzzles and different ways of thinking.

Kenji Ikezawa

"Many of the citizens in the Elysium district have never seen a crime occur in their lives -- for them, the idea of crime is alien. When everything is handed to them on a silver plate, they can never quite understand why someone will need to take something by force. For others in Terra, however, crime is a reality that will never go away -- crime is everything over in Terra. It's too bad that the people of Elysium are too blinded by their lifestyles to see what's happening outside of their mansions..."

From the exterior, the safehouse simply appears to be a large cooling unit on the roof of a building in Polaris -- it is a nice hiding place and is just large enough for me and two other members of the Brotherhood to hide inside.

I could hear a helicopter nearing the roof of my building. I opened the door to see a feminine figure abseiling from the that said helicopter, carrying a heavy duffel bag. From the helicopter, a man in a balaclava threw down several more similar duffel bags.

"These bags are all cold hard cash. EPD won't be able to trace 'em either."

The woman removed her mask. Of course, Janice Li. The Epsilon Reaper. The worst mass murderer that Epsilon has ever known.

"Good work, Janice. Let's get these bags inside."

Occupation:Doctor-in-training
Personality: He is incredibly intelligent and rather talkative. When at work he shows great concentration and ambition. He has empathy to those in the Terra District.

Because of hard work, he was able to top his other classmates, which brought jealousy and competition.

Some Extra Information:

The main currency in Epsilon is the Centurion, also known as the Cent. One Centurion equals approximately two USD. In order to get out of Terra, you must have a clean criminal record and be worth at least 200 Centurions. To get into Elysium without being deemed useful to society by the Council or being born there, you must have a clean criminal record and a minimum value of 5 million Centurions.
