After watching some anime (don't ask), I've had this idea for an RP... The basic plotline is that it's (say,) the year 3188, and scientists have been working on DNA experiments, trying to create the perfect human. The experiments started centuries ago, and still they've had no luck. However, they DID get a bit sidetracked, and with the new knowledge and technology there's no need for love and the other thing (yes, THAT)... Humans now re.pr.od.uce from machines, through built-in DNA programs. So, any ideas? Anything? (Sorry if it's a bit unoriginal; I DID get the idea watching some anime.) How many other RP's had the DNA thing? (I'm pretty sure I'm not exactly the first.) |

Oh god, an anime rp, like we need that.
Anyhoo, the idea sounds interresting, but I am into space exploration threads, which we really need.
Theirs also steampunk, which I need that rp to put on me belt. |

| Any ideas? I was thinking that there's a strain of humanity created in lab's that has DNA as perfect as today's (or that day's) scientists could manage. That new strain believes that they're the best and are practically worshipped be some of the "regular" people. |

The "perfect" people get all high and mighty and start ordering the normal people around. This escalates. Some normal people can't take it and refuse to.
War.
Just what I thought should happen. |

The "regular" people (the unenhanced yet still born from DNA programs) end up with bad living conditions while the (let's call them) "Enhanced" get the first pick on everything. Some of the "Unenhanced" start rallying up to overthrow the "Enhanced" and the scientists. Opinions? |

| But then again the whole "perfect" human idea sort of invites people to make Mary Sue/Gary Stu's. Hm. I still want people to make "Enhanced" characters, so I figure that the character must have alot of flaws in their personality. (Take pride, for example.) |

Should there be an option to make a "Perfect" character or not? I'm thinking that while they may have a beautiful outer appearance (and some genetic add-on's), while their personality is arrogant, prideful, and corrupt.
The "regular" humans are mostly laborers, forced to do everything for the "Enhanced". ...Which gives them all the more reason to hate the "Enhanced". |

Let me pull up a few fatal flaws.
Rage (Volatile personality) Sloth (Lazy, slow) Hunger (Greedy, coward) Desire (Greedy, but cruel) Pride (Narcissistic, egomaniac) |

Thanks for the flaws list, NotOurFinest. We won't have to worry about Sues as long as someone uses the list. And I just noticed: wouldn't this mean absolutely no romance? (Unless you count "I think So-And-So should lead our revolution against the Enhanced because they're (insert traits here)." as romance.) |

| I was more leaning towards the fact that humanity is produced in machines, which makes the whole idea of "love" and that OTHER thing pretty useless. |
