Premise
Psychopath - that's the word used to describe them all. Just who exactly is "them"? Anybody... Humanity, you could say.
Psychopathy is described as an aspect of personality or an outright personality disorder. Whatever the case, the word has become associated with most negative of connotations. The world has become an eerily peaceful place in the year 2265. Crime is almost non-existent and while technology has progressed accordingly, almost none of this technological evolution has been applied to weapons of any kind. It's almost a strange thing to ask how the world is so peaceful in this era. Most won't answer that question or they'll give you a hateful look before scurrying away to finish their errands. For as peaceful as the world is, most consider even the topic of psychopaths a taboo, something that should never be brought up in any conversation. It only ever leads to negative feelings, arguments, and volatile emotions. And when that happens, like some giant circle, it leads back to the label of Psychopath.
That's the word used to describe them all. Those that the ones at the top feel are deserving of that label and, thus, the procedures that follow it.
In these times, it has become possible to pinpoint the origin of any given psychosis. Better said, technology has enabled the government to pinpoint individuals they feel may pose a problem to the general population of society. When an individual like such has been pinpointed, they are captured and subjected to the Erasure process. Erasure involves infiltrating the consciousness of a target individual and stamping out the roots of their impending psychosis... No matter the cost or outcome. In this way, the tendencies that usually develop into outward criminal behavior are subdued long before they even fully form - if they are ever going to form, that is - and society gets to continue to enjoy a world where people don't have any urge to commit crime.
The problem begins after the process however. Those that are subjected to Erasure don't wake up quite the same. A number of negative effects can spring up after the process ranging from mental disorder to even death. While public opinion of this practice is very negative, no one dares speak out against it out loud. Rumors flutter around, saying things like the government doesn't just take people who may be dangerous, they'll take anyone who they deem a personal threat. Others say that it's just a new way for those in power to remain in such status and continue to look down on those under them. Thus, the question arises;
At what point does peace become a silent chaos? At what point have those in power begun to abuse their authority? Who has the right to determine the fate of another?

Welcome to my RP! After you've read the premise, you may be wondering what this is about. I shall tell you.
This RP centers around a team of Erasure agents whose only goal is the continued peace the world has enjoyed for quite some team. To achieve this, they are instructed to stop "Psychopaths" before their volatile tendencies manifest. This involves capturing whoever they are ordered to capture and entering that person's subconscious physically. Once within their target's mental sanctum, the job is the take out the roots of any forming psychosis. The problem is, how do you define a true psychopath? In fact, how can anyone justify action against a person who is literally innocent? The narrative will follow these characters as they perform their duties before eventually beginning to question the nature of what they're doing. When one of their own becomes the subject of an Erasure, they resolve to find out the origins and the truth behind the Erasure program and the lasting world peace.
This is a strongly character-driven RP with a plot that moves with the actions the main cast choose to take. I classify this as a modern story with some sci-fi elements because while there will be advanced technology present, the tech will not be the focus of the RP. I listed "Mature" also because this will deal with some heavy themes at times. While the overall narrative has been outlined in a very basic sense, there will be subplots littered throughout the RP. These subplots will deal with things I haven't made any mention of as of yet except to say that they will be of a mature nature. The tone throughout will be serious, but this RP will deal with the lives of each character as much as the job they perform. Romances may spark, unexpected betrayals may occur, and this RP also has a feature that allows non-GM players to create NPCs for the world and plot.
As a side note, I do plan to cap players at a maximum number. I haven't decided on that number yet though, so don't hesitate to show interest if you want!
Now, this is only an interest check so I won't go into super detail as that will be saved for the OOC. However, I will answer questions or concerns anyone may have if I know I'm not going to go extensively into it in the OOC(and most people ask really good questions anyway haha).
So then, who would be interested in this?
