I was thinking about a role-play about Hatfields and McCoys.
Agree? |

My definition:
It is a perfect world. No crime, no pain, no anything. Black and white, almost everything dangerous is outlawed. You cannot commit suicide, and it is a simple life. One day is always the same, compared to the next. The whole place is just a simple life style, having one family, and when the kids grow, they completely forget about their parents and their sibilings. There is no personal touch, as the birthmothers (self explan.) birth the babies, not the 'moms'. There is no personal attachment to anything, nor is there really any purpose to living. Then, there's the outside. Teaming with animals, color, and everything one could possibly want to get away from the desperate life cycle they are in. However, nobody truely cares. It is a brainwashing society, you never quite know what you are missing, until you do know. There is also a person called the giver, who controls all the previous memories, books, and everything which could hurt a person. Usually the giver wants to change it, but its almost impossible to do, as face it. They are basically the queen of modern day England. Just the face, no power. The age range would be 12, as that is the selection year. Basically, its everyone trying to dully live through their life, until the giver slowly starts working on a way to shake the foundations of this life.
Wiki Definition:
The Giver is a dystopian children's novel by Lois Lowry. It is set in a society which is at first presented as a utopian society and gradually appears more and more dystopian. The novel follows a boy named Jonas through the twelfth year of his life. The society has eliminated pain and strife by converting to "Sameness," a plan that has also eradicated emotional depth from their lives. Jonas is selected to inherit the position of "Receiver of Memory," the person who stores all the past memories of the time before Sameness, in case they are ever needed to aid in decisions that others lack the experience to make. When Jonas meets the previous receiver—The "Giver"—he is confused in many ways. The Giver is also able to break some rules, such as turning off the speaker and lying to people of the community. As Jonas receives the memories from the Giver, he discovers the power of knowledge. The people in his community are happy because they do not know of a better life, but the knowledge of what they are missing out on could create major chaos. He faces a dilemma: Should he stay with the community, his family living a shallow life without love, color, choices, and knowledge, or should he run away to where he can live a full life? |

not really a diary think about it this way:
a oerfect world all past memories of things are gone,WWI, WWII veiatnam, iraq, black ages, the plague all lost to time except for one person that when they trun 12 gets chosen to keep theese memories from the "utopian" city so he has to basically experience all theese horrible things that have happened, he isnt alowwed to talk of it, he must be completely alone, the only person that he can have contact with it the old giver and that is only for a little while, allthough revered they go through a life of aloneness. it sad but wonderfull and moving and horrifying, |

| Reading's boring. I'm down for anything videogame/manga/anime related thought. Hell, I'll roleplay on almost anything that has thought and skill behind it. |
