Branded-
In a world consumed by fear and a sick sense of justice, we "criminals" aren't thrown in jail anymore. No. We are pushed outside the walls of our communities and shunned by most societies that still exist. Why you may ask. They can't be bothered to "waste" their resources taking care of us "Filth". We are branded so that our perceived infractions are on display if we try to enter any middle or high class town, so they can keep us out. Even most lower class slums will keep us from entering us, some even targeting us because we're no longer protected by law. But recently there have been rumours of a haven for people like us, Us Branded. However it's also said to be across the endless plains. And on foot it'll certainly seem like it is endless, but we aren't going to be allowed to just march into any old town or city and buy a car or anything. Will you take advantage of your new status as Branded and just take from those who have done you wrong? Or perhaps you will begin the long journey to this supposed Safe Haven for people like us?

While there is no true plot yet, I wanted to at least get the idea out there. Get some feedback, possibly gets some people who are willing to help me flesh this out some more.

Ooh, this looks interesting. Although there's no similarity this kinda reminds me of the movie Lockout

Questions: is it fair to assume that this would take place in a sort of dystopic, futuristic setting? Also, do criminals get different brands depending on what they're convicted of or is it all the same thing?

Dystopian, certainly, Futuristic, Slightly. Personally I'm imagining tech for approximately 2038 - 2058 can be found. I also imagined an Alt Earth so different landscapes, but that's not a sticking point for me. And certainly, the Brands are determined by the crime. The city my character will come from has a high population of Religious Zealots, and are probably more reclusive, so for example my character would definitely have a Traitor brand and a Heretic brand.

Dayum boi, count me in!

Yeah, you know what? This could be fun. I'll take a slice of the pie too.

I'd like at least two more people before I actually start up the thread, but I'll get it ready for tonight at the earliest.

I'll be your huckleberry!

Just gonna put this here... {x}

Seems real interesting. I'm in.
