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?

This is a Dystopian Post Apocalyptic world set in 2062, even though progress has stagnated since 2048 when Society as we know it broke down and reorganised into City States which worked together despite being independent, not unlike Ancient Greece. Each has their own laws, most have very similar laws. But with supplies and resources as low as they are, they can't simply contain prisoners and so Criminals are branded based on the crime(s) committed. They are forced out of their homes and jobs for their alleged crimes, whether or not they actually committed them. This means you're character could be branded for a crime and be innocent of it.

Examples of some common brands would be Thief and Murderer. If your character is from an overly religious city state they may even have a Heretic brand.

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.

A character sheet will be up in the next few hours.

Over here now.

Defiantly interested.

This actually sounds really good! I'll be keeping an eye on it! C:

Definitely interested in this game.

Name: (Self Explanatory)

Age: (Try to stick between 14 and 64)

Gender: (Male or Female)

Personality: (What is he/she like? What makes him/her tick. Things like that.)

Appearance: (what does your character look like? Pictures would be preferred, but descriptions are also acceptable.)

Brand: (What is Branded on your character and where? What crime did they commit or were accused of?)

Backstory: (Where is your Character from? Doesn't have to be a current city. What did your character do before being Branded? Friends, Family, Home life? Do you have any Skills? How long have you been Branded?)

Equipment: (Weapons, Armor if any, General supplies. Don't go over the top.)

Goal: (What do you or your character want out of this? Simply survive? Do you want to chance it and go searching for the "Branded Haven"? Or perhaps you want to take revenge on those who cast you out?)

This is Roughly what the Character sheet will look like if any of you would like to get started.

I like the concept. I love to jump in.

Ok Well I'd move everything to an actual thread, but I have to get ready for work. I'll get everything moved over later to it later. In the mean time everyone, please at least start forming ideas for your character.

I have ideas! I have so many ideas, I have the BEST ideas! A friend of mine, let me tell you he's a good, GOOD friend of mine, he'll tell you.
My ideas are the best.

Oh I wouldn't mind joining this, will be watching :)
