_ Banished _
Introduction Alrighty, as it is very obvious by my amount of posts I am a huge noob to the concept of role play. I’m actually nervous to upload this because of the fact most of the people in the RP forums don’t roleplay or are really advanced literate. I’m expecting a few trolls to jump in every now and then but it’ll be alright. I’m in the eastern time zone, might be 11:30 AM for you but it’s 4:30 Am for me. Agh, I guess I mentioned enough you don’t need my life story, do ya?
Plot Technology and waste have corrupted the Earth several decades in the future from the present day. In attempts to save the Earth, more technology was produced, even so, they only ########### it until Earth was uninhabitable. A variety of animals, now extinct along with many forests. Earth is dying, with random natural disasters occurring about once every week humans had to think fast. With the human race quickly falling, pods (mini spaceships which can hold up a maximum of two people) were selling quickly and raising in price rapidly. To choose from one of the three habitable planets was an easy task. Cartographer's worked quickly on their digital maps to show a pathway to the closest of the three planets, Pomia. The future dictator and the majority of humanity flew over to the planet in a hurry. However, sacrifices had to be made. Under the dictator's rule, juveniles, prisoners, elderly, the untreatable, and newborns were ditched behind to leave more room in the pods and spaceships. Hence, most of them would die in the travel anyways. Prison riots broke out, the crime rate increased drastically, and became complete chaos. While on Pomia new laws were made, everyone ate the same amount of calories, new species were discovered along with new diseases and illness. Skip ahead seven years, construction finally finished and society had been built.
Laws of Pomia 1. Always take your medication 2. By the age of 18, it’s required to select a job from the options you qualify for. Slacking off will result in the removal of your dinner for the remainder day. 3. Anyone that doesn’t pass the physical activity or knowledge exams will be considered weak and removed from society, resulting in banishment to Earth. 4. Being out between 11:59 and 4:59 will come with consequences unless given permission by the dictator or a council member. 5. Any person sick by any untreatable disease will be banished to Earth. 6. 18+ Citizens must always wear the armband that represents their career/faction. 7. The Dictator’s rule is law. Any punishment they find fit will be given without argument.
Factions/Careers [The Lightbulbs] A lightbulb is a person who has passed the knowledge exam with high scores or simply did better in knowledge than physical activity. Most light bulbs become teachers, doctors, or technicians. There are more jobs, however too many to state. Their armband consists of a blue background with a yellow symbolic light bulb.
[The Firebugs] Citizens who have passed the physical exam over the knowledge exam. They are the largest group and usually are in the military or police officers. A firebug wears an armband that consists of an orange background and a small fire.
[The Council] A select few of a maximum of ten people. They excel in knowledge and physical activity, they are very high ranking and close to the dictator. They give advice and are basically treated like royalty. However, they are given lots of dirty looks from citizens and unknown red-zoners. The council wears both lightbulb and firebug armbands, along with a white armband decorated with a simple black square.
[Red-Zoners] An unknown fleet known for their nicknames, graffiti, and vandalism. Some make attempts to help the banished and refuse to let anyone forget about those left behind on Earth. Rumors say one red-zoner is hidden within the council. It's unknown whether they have a base or not. No armband is given to this group.
[Banished] Self-explanatory judging by the textual hints given before hand. People left behind or sent to Earth to rot away and survive the disasters. At least, they should be down on Earth but there are several ways to sneak back onto Pomia.
[The Dictator] Also self-explanatory. I'm limited on information since the dictator is a playable character. Whoever plays the dictator is allowed to choose their own personal armband if wanted.
Locations I'll allow this to be made up as we go on. It's basically the same structure on how it is the present day except with years worth of advanced technology.
Rules 1. No godmod, use the "attempt method" e.g He attempts to attack the foe with an upper cut. 2. Avoid being Mary sueish. 3. Add drama! Not really a rule but still highly encouraged. 4. Be mad at the character not the person playing them. 5. Always feel free to ask me questions, I probably forgot something.
Skill points I'll hand you these after you're character is approved, everyone starts with 20 points minimimum but judging by what your characters age, career, and backstory I might give you a few extra points. So, it's kind of like a video game.
Character Sheet (You may add more but not subtract, this is just a standard template for this roleplay) Name: Age: Appearance: Backstory: Strength: Agility: Speed: Intelligence:
*Note: Agility, speed, strength, intelligence, will be where you use your skill points. Know that twenty is the TOTAL points for ALL sections combined. Meaning you can't have twenty points in every category if you get what I mean.*

[Sounds great, actually. But here is a question: would it be possible to RP as one stuck on earth?] |

[Mm, I'll whip up a sheet... one moment...]
Name: Magnus T. Jynx II
Gender: M
Age: "I mighta forgot... but I 'ssume I'm nineteen."
Faction/Planet: "Earth."
Appearance: He stands at, roughly, 5'8.3, with a rather youthful appearance as if he was still in his teens. He has windswept auburn hair, followed by a pale face and skin due to his lack-of-light environment. The most noticeable scars and markings upon his body would be upon his palm and his lower lip, along with a burn mark on his ankle. His eye colour is a tad... mingled, but one could identify a mossy green and his pupils are considerably dilated. It's also worth mentioning that he is quite lightweight for his age, perhaps from starvation.
He doesn't change clothes very often, so he would mainly be found in a simple, worn, white t-shirt and beaten-up crimson jacket. He wears almost tight jeans, just loose enough for him to run, that are cut up near the ankle and knees. For shoes, he simply wears an old pair of sneakers.
Backstory: His father and mother lived happily for quite some time, despite their harsh environments. The father looked out in concern at the deteriorating cities, dying along side nature. With the remaining amount of money, he bought an Escape Pod while Magnus was still young. He tried to take his "honey" with him, but Magnus was still young and was unable to come. So she stayed, and the father was forced to leave his family behind.
Survival became increasingly hard in the state of the city in which the mother and son resided. Magnus was taught almost everything that his mother knew, and she took care of him as best she could. Magnus learned quite quickly, especially how to scavenge. He was able to find and fix discarded technology and scavenge for meals. He had some understanding of what was edible, and what was not.
But good things never last... the mother soon grew ill. Magnus stayed more often in the hectic place he could call home, trying to help her. But there was nothing to prevent her death. She passed away when he was only fourteen... a sad time for him.
Strength: 6, [on a scale from 1 to 10 since I'm unaware of specifics.] Agility: 8 Speed: 6 1/2 Intelligence: 9
[Will this do?] |

(( Perfect! Except, I think you were confused on the skill points. You were only supposed to have a max of twenty but adding the total of yours went nine and a half points over it. An example would be, Agil: five, Speed: Five, Strength: Five, Intelligence: five. See how it all adds up to 20? However, if I read your backstory and feel like your character probably developed a few extra points in a section I might say something like;
"Oh wow, they lived in some mighty harsh conditions and seem like you're smartie, so I'll let you add 3 points in intel or strength,"
But, I'll let you have five extra points adding to the 20. So you'll have to remove four. IF you don't understand, tell me but I don't know how other to explain it. )) |

(Will join. Though I have two questions: 1: Do I have permission to roleplay as the Red-Zoner spy within the council? 2: How many characters are you allowed to create?)

(Okay, that's great! I was just making sure that if I can be the spy, I wouldn't be the only person on Pomia incase there weren't many people onboard for this roleplay.
Expect my character sheet(s) either tonight (currently 10:50ish PM for me here in the UK) or sometime in the afternoon of tomorrow.) |

Name: ####### ###### Age: 20 Appearance: Anthony is an average built Caucasian who stands at 5'10". He has greasy and unkempt but still short brown hair, with large blue eyes and a fair complexion. For clothes, he wears a messy green T-shirt, torn jeans, and worn sneakers. Covering his body are numerous wounds and mud, showcasing just how difficult this new Earth is to live on. Backstory: Anthony grew up just like any other normal kid. His parents were doing their jobs and following the rules of Pomia perfectly, and they made sure Anthony would do the same. However, the stress was obviously showing on them, and Anthony could easily tell why. As a matter of fact, the society of Pomia made Anthony dangerously curious about everything, constantly reading what people thought and listening in to their conversations. Somehow, he managed to get away with all this, but it still left a mark on him that would later result in his intentional banishment to Earth. Pressed with the tests, Anthony figured he wouldn't want to live in such an environment, instead opting for the hardships faced on Earth, a reason that he now justifies by saying "It's better than whatever they were doing up there." He failed on both the physical activity and knowledge exams on purpose, removing him from Pomia entirely. He's somehow stayed alive on Earth for two full years, but he hasn't escaped without sickness and injury. Strength: 5 (Anthony used to be quite strong, but the wounds he's sustained has weakened him quite a bit. Nonetheless, he's powered through.) Agility: 5 (He's average. Not too graceful and has the standard reflexes, but he isn't particularly sloppy or slow, either.) Speed: 3 (Well, maybe slow in speed terms. He does limp from time to time, kind of destroying his ability to run well.) Intelligence: 7 (Despite all this, Anthony's greatest power is his ability to read people. Gained from his curiosity on Pomia, he can distinguish lies and catch on to what others are thinking faster than others.) |
