Children rushed through the streets, their ashen, bare feet maneuvered over the crooked, filthy brick pavement as they shrieked with glee, gathering to the Center, as they watched the explorers wave goodbye to the citizens. This is the city of Novium, one of the three Major Cities on Earth, along with Salvidum and Elpidess. 200 years ago, civilization began anew, the world was a flat wasteland, either freezing or blazing, with the occasional refugee camps, these cities are regarded as "the hope for civilization". And now, Novium has sent out its annual exploration team. Each year, it sends this team out to aid the refugee camps and explore.
This year, the exploration team did quite well aiding the poor and sick, but on their way back, they found a diary and began to read. It was ancient, centuries old, so many pages were missing and their were big holes in the story, but they began to learn more about the "Olden society". People in this world had little education and technology, so the olden days were soon behind them within a few generations. However, this book talked about it, making it sound like...like a golden era, mobiles that needed only a black substance to keep them speeding over the land for miles, devices that could help you speak to someone from countries away it was...magnificent, splendor and riches to them. But then came the blaring obvious question...why end it...? They returned, the citizens of Novium welcomed them with open arms, and offered them luxuries like wines and bread. But as they ate and drank, they realized what they really lived in. The drinks were tasteless, the bread dull, the roads were vile and the houses were just rusty shacks, there was no order, no systems of water, and not even a single outlet to plug things in, like the olden days. After their "banquet", they met up with the city council and told them what they'd found. Though they tried to keep the information contained, it leaked, and people started to ask questions.
After a few months, Novium, as well as the other cities decided to get together and send out a search team, but bigger, with better funding, to find out more about olden society. They named the project "Persephone's Explorers". Nobody really knows why, or who or what Persephone is for that matter, but they went along with the plan. Today, the explorers have finally set off for their quest, to unveil the mysteries from 200 years ago.
Finally, it's interview day. A young woman with black hair pulled back and scrappy wire glasses sits at the shaky table with you, holding one of Novium's rare clipboards. (basically your CS).
"Alright, I'll need your full name."
"Please specify your a.g.e (18-50)"
"I'll need you to tell your gender...for the interview"
"Please step forward so we can photograph you"
"Any inventory you're bringing?"
"I need your personality. Dislikes, likes, tendencies, etc."
"We'll need a backstory, please tell me your history"
"Were you in the last Novium exploration team?"
"Where do you come from?"
"Anything else to add?"
She is silent for a moment, then excuses you. "Your expedition team leaves tomorrow, thank you for joining the Persephone Search."
Rules
Rules Godmod and I'll shut you down. Please be patient, PM me ideas. I'll reveal more and more of the world as we go, don't worry. There will be so little romance in a dystopian exploration team. So little. Trolls, restrain yourselves. Have the willpower to ignore Trolls. We're trying a different kind of dystopian, I want complex characters who don't just carry a load of weapons and nothing else. Don't start until I or a Admin accepts you. We do have a reason for what happened, but it's a mystery RP as well, kekekeh~ I don't want a whole crew of people with weapons and violent tendencies, AGAIN. This is my first dystopian RP, I'm sorry if you don't like it. Grammar. Just. Grammar. Finally, we can never speak of the atrocities that took place on the collaboration.
Admins are
Scorspi Shadowi83 GIGI777 Thebusdriveman and finally... EvilNorton |

"Alright, I'll need your full name." William Fischer.
"Please specify your a.g.e (18-50)" 30
"I'll need you to tell your gender...for the interview" Male.
"Please step forward so we can photograph you" He steps up to be photographed. He has a dusty, black fedora, probably the only nice article of clothing he owns. He wears a rather ragged old shirt with a logo on it, but it's hard to tell what it says from all the rips and dust. He wears old jeans, also slashed, and he has cuts on his left leg. He wears no shoes. He has hazel eyes and brown hair. He stands at 5'8, and weighs around 140 lbs.
"Any inventory you're bringing?" I've got a Swiss Army Knife(Do we still call it that? If not, just a pocket knife.)
"I need your personality. Dislikes, likes, tendencies, etc.": Likes water, dislikes people joking about his height, and has a tendency to doze off.
"We'll need a backstory, please tell me your history": I had a rather happy childhood in a city with my sister and parents.
"Were you in the last Novium exploration team?" No, I just got around here, really.
"Where do you come from?" A refugee camp in a place I was told was once called "Vienna, Austria."
"Anything else to add?" Not at all.

"Alright, I'll need your full name."
"If you must, woman. My full name is Edric Hakaar Fouldin. You might as well forget the middle and last."
"Please specify your a.g.e (18-50)"
"I really don't care anymore, but I believe I'm currently forty yeerz of aje."
"I'll need you to tell your gender...for the interview"
"Wait, what?" *grumble* "I'm obviously a male. What did you expect?"
"Please step forward so we can photograph you"
The photograph reveals Edric to be quite tall, over six feet. He is a broad-shouldered man, though he appears very old. He has a thick stubble and combed over brown hair that are both heavily streaked with gray. His eyes are a deep green color, and his skin is pale and weathered. There is a small scar on the left side of his jaw. He has a most wonderful tendency to scowl in disapproval at things.
"Any inventory you're bringing?"
"Muh. A leather hiking pack, supplies, a cleaning rag, a bedroll, a length of rope, and, of course, my axe." Edric lifts a weighted, angular black tomahawk.
"I need your personality. Dislikes, likes, tendencies, etc."
"Most just regard me as a crabby, disagreeable old man. And I say, 'What's not to like?', eh?"
"We'll need a backstory, please tell me your history"
"Born awhile back, you might notice. Parents are gone by this day and age. Only living family member I have left is my sister. Silly girl, hear she's started a family now. Anyway, I worked chopping lumber for most of my earlier years. That's why I like using an axe. Then, I joined the exploration teams. I've been exploring for quite awhile, you see."
"Were you in the last Novium exploration team?"
"Why do you even need to ask after that last question? Of course I was!"
"Where do you come from?"
"Right here in Novium."
"Anything else to add?"
"No. Get out of my face and let me go back to bed." |
