This RP draws from a whole lot of different anime and game series I've come to love over the years. I won't list them for the purpose of "you don't actually have to know what they are to get this," but I felt it should have been noted. I just sorta splurged while waiting on a download for an episode of Kill La Kill (one of the big inspirations to this, by the way) so it's kinda long ^_^;

Welcome to the world where the rich rule over the poor with an iron fist, where the cities are built vertically with the rich literally living above the poor. If the elites of society are out to ruin the day of the countless impoverished, you'd better hope you're not among them. If they're feeling abnormally merciful, the sprawling slums at the bottom of every city's food chain and layout may actually have a pretty good day ahead of them. Where you live - and by effect, how well you live - is determined by the top of the top; the Chair of each different city. Why not rebel, right? Why not just round everybody up, since the rich would be easily outnumbered? Well, they've got something the poor don't, besides money. A neat little piece of technology called a Battle Chip.

What does a Battle Chip do? You see, these were weapons developed so that humans could wage war without countless casualties every single time. Different Chips are built on different Levels, rising from F all the way to S. Typically, only Chairs have S-Level Battle Chips. "But, you still didn't say what they did," you might be thinking. That's because different Chips do different things, depending on the specific model. Some Chips just enhance a person's abilities, or grant them entirely new ones that would otherwise be deemed impossible. Some Chips summon a monster to aid the user in battle. But without a Battle Deck - the thing you install your Chip in - there's no way to use it. Effectively, the owner of an S-Level Chip would be incapable of even fighting an F-Level without his Battle Deck.

How are Battle Decks distributed? At the Chair's discretion, of course. The Chair controls who gets a Battle Deck, what Level and type of Battle Chip they'll get, and this often leads to an elite few getting A or S-Level Chips who devote themselves to enforcing the local Chair's nigh-tyranny. So what about the people who don't have Battle Decks, or Battle Chips for that matter? Naturally, these are the ones put in the lowest stages of the cities, and they pretty much have no real choice but to put up with it.

That's not to say this is an invincible rule, of course. Sometimes, a person with a Battle Deck might go rogue, or lose it just for somebody on a lower stage of society to find it. There have been uprisings before, but they always go down pretty quickly. Sometimes somebody from the slums of the city can rise up through the ranks in town - typically through the local academy - and go from having no Battle Chip to being the owner of an A-Level Chip. They typically lose themselves to their newfound lives of luxury, however, and often forget about the poor they left behind. But whether you own an A-Level Chip, have no Battle Chip whatsoever, or are a personal friend of the Chair him/herself, you're a resident of this city, and a student at the local academy.

I'm pretty sure that's the most I've ever written for an RP premise o.o
So if you're interested, don't hesitate to say so ^_^ I'd hate for this hard work to be for nothing after all.

All I really needed to see was "based partially on Kill La Kill" to be interested, but it sounds pretty fun so...

...Hopefully I will have something more constructive to add later, but interest at least. ^^;

A first interest is all the constructive I could ask :)

Aiming to get three or four more.

Premises sounds fun, is there any specific group that's going to be focused on, or play whatever class you want to?

Extremely. Go watch it. Right now. Right fucking now.

Zombehs said Premises sounds fun, is there any specific group that's going to be focused on, or play whatever class you want to?

I'd like to focus in on students who either have F-Level Chips or none at all; I'm still puzzling that out with myself.
EDIT: For the KLK fans (and TMCAN if he follows my advice) I'd like to explain how stuff is divided up, both in power and lifestyle. I'll put a more general description in the official OOC so that we can get people in here without them having to watch KLK (which they should anyway; it's a really good show)

No Chip - F-Level: About equal to No-Star students in KLK.
D-Level - C-Level: About equal to One-Star.
B-Level - A-Level: Two-Star
S-Level: Three-Star

Seconding this. Anyone who does not follow this advice will be punched into a mountain so hard it explodes.

Can we call the genre the "studio trigger" genre? Also, I'm interested.

Would be more accurate to say Gainax, really, since Kill La Kill is the first full length series Trigger have actually done since splitting from them. XD And, well... FLCL and Gurren Lagann and PSG and all...

...Also Gunbuster/Diebuster which everyone should watch because I am a raving 'buster fangirl but that's beside the point so uh yeah. >.> <.<

Let's call it the badass genre, cuz KLK is badass, Custom Robo (another big inspiring source for this) is badass, and Pokemon (the third big one) is badass.

I count six in total. That's sufficient for an OOC, so I'll get to work immediately.

I believe you did.

Also, we now have an OOC. Make sure to read the rules before submitting a CS, guys :)
