Summary: Set in the near year of 2021, our technology has drastically changed. Now no one gets by without a cell phone. It is their link to everything in their life. Everything is digital and writing by hand has been outdated. Everyone not only has a cell phone, but it's also linked to world wide wi-fi. People use their cell phones to pick outfits, purchase clothes, food, and the like. And with a touch of a button, they have anything they want. They also use their cell phones to communicate with friends, listen to music and find an escape. Those are things we're familiar with right now in 2014. The big difference between now and then is that without a cell phone, a person will die.
Think of the cell phone as a containment for your soul. It's charged by your own life force.
Another thing that is different about the cell phones of 2021 is that they play music but this music is different, it can take people into a digital realm called the DgtWld. (Short for Digital World) You can travel across the world and go shopping, or be taken to a sunset overlooking the Caribbean. The way this is done, is by extracting your mental awareness and relocating it elsewhere while still keeping your body bound to your current relation. Music plays a big part in everyone's life and almost everyone is immersed in it when not working or going to school.
Now with such technological advances, hackers have gotten more chances to attack people with everyone on one wi-fi. Because of this, the government has passed a secret underground project and has developed an application downloadable to certain people. This application allows the user to go completely into the DgtWld: mind, body and soul. These people are called Correctors who fend off the hackers and viruses that plague the DgtWld and threaten people's lives and well being. Correctors are hand selected by the government in the region, of course each country has only a select amount of Correctors who all fight for one cause and work together when necessary.
Correctors have an expiration date though. They are only used to help fight for about 8 years. Some are pulled off earlier. Correctors are recruited at age 17 usually for the sake of teens being young and tend to do well in physical situations. They are placed under the wing of Corrects who are at least 2 years their superior. Correctors are not allowed to tell normal civilians that they are Correctors as the general population does not know of the project that passed.
RP Starting Point and Closing Comments: We will be playing characters who are not 17, but around the age of 19 to 24 year olds. We will go to school, fight cyber crime and such. Consider this a mix of Code LYOKO, Corrector Yui, Madoka Magica and Sailor Moon, dot hack or something. You can be male or female. And a big focus will be your cell phone, music, character development and a darker plot which I have planned already. So any antagonists will be mine to play as GM. After a player has gone through a full "Chapter" of the RP, they have the option to add on other characters who may be antagonists or special.

RP Timeline:
2012 - Japanese scientists unveil a new model of cell phones which link to the user's life force via microchip implanted in the back of their neck. This begins the boom in new cell phone design and soon a world wide wi-fi network is put in place.
2014 - Over 40% of the entire population now are using the new cell phone models which are very affordable. New applications are being released and sold through Apple and other major companies around the world.
2016 - The US and the Japanese Governments are the first to pass a secret bill that would allow the country to hire select people to help defend people from the onslaught of recent cyber crimes.
2018 - Now everyone in the world is linked to the DgtWld and every major country is using secret Correctors to help protect their citizens.
2020 - Worldwide utopia seemed to have been reached. Life now centers around one's cell phone and music and most jobs cater to computers and security even though about 10 years ago the world was in chaos with war and economic strife.
2021 - A small sense of unrest rumbles across the world. What will 2021 bring humans now?
Corrector Info: Correctors are humans anywhere from age 17 to 25. They have been approached secretly by their Government usually by phone call, then an email. In the email, they are told to go to their local Gvn Office and once there, they are told of their new job. Refusal is not an option due to the perks that come along with being a Corrector. They are paid well for their services and are not allowed to tell anyone of what they do behind the scenes. They are given applications which cannot be duplicated (read: hacked) and are monitored by the Government.
These applications allow the user to transform into a digital being/avatar and enter the DgtWld fully. They give the Corrector powers to fend off warring viruses and hackers. These applications also give the Corrector tasks and other things to do. The powers Correctors are given can be downloaded by the application's store depending on their years in service. The Government wanted the Corrector to have limited yet customizable weapons in the beginning. The application is called Cnnt (Connect) and it is always scanning the DgtWld for any signs of dismay. Notifications are sent to the cell phone of the user and once they all respond, they must sync up to a computer or cell phone and get to work.
Fighting: I am leaving this a bit open in some manners. I do not intend this to be a fighting roleplay nor do I want us to be going into battle every other page. Weapons and abilities will be up to the user. As stated above, different skills can be downloaded to one's user if you're a Corrector. However what you can do is limited upon how long you've been a Corrector and how well you do your job. Most skills come from their weapon of choice. For example, choosing a katana would grant the user excellent speed and agility with their weapon which would allow them to be very offensive. But then their defense and endurance may then suffer. If a Corrector choose a bow and arrow as a prominent weapon, they would have nice long range attacks. It is possible to have no weapon and to use your fists. Your weapons are digital and can be reproduced within your body's limits. For example you could wield two katana at once but you couldn't use more than one bow and arrow. And if you're injured, regenerating a weapon is harder to do, due to mental or physical strain. But if your weapon breaks or falls into the abyss, you can easily conjure up another weapon with your mind. Your weapons are can be enhanced with elemental powers and may reflect a futuristic feel or something harkening back to fantasy fiction. It's up to you. Keep it within reason though.
Microchips: Also known as MChips. Everyone has a MChip in the back of their neck. These are linked and synced up to your cell phone, laptop etc. Without a MChip present, you die. The MChip helps regulate your body and health. It helps you connect directly to the internet. It is your lifeline. MChips are implanted right at birth. They store everyone, they're your personal backup. It keeps track of passwords, information, etc. It's your memory bank for everything. Should you wish to listen to music, it allows you to do so without even needing headphones, transmitting music directly to your brain without disturbing anyone around it. It allows you to close your eyes and connect to a new destination across the ocean when you're stuck at the office. Your MChip is your link to living.
Threats: Pretty self explanatory but why not? Threats of 2021 are much more serious. The stealing of one's identity and chip are much more of a concern than ever. Hackers are making more tough digital threats known as Vs (viruses) that take the form of monsters in the DgtWld which seek out people and can kill them if they're linked by sending them corrupt information which could reach their Mchip and end their life undetected. People do have personal security (like Norton Anti-Virus) but hackers are finding ways to get around it and steal information and even blackmail people. If you can think of a crime, it's happening. Even deaths.
The DgtWld: The Digital World is the world wide wi-fi network that was first established in late 2012. Users log in with their cell phone and microchip. They use music and can take their minds to other areas of the world. Humans cannot pull their real bodies into the DgtWld unless they have some sort of virus that is endangering them. The DgtWld is where you access the internet with your phone or laptop's web browser. There are virtual goggles and headphones made for people who want a more personalized experience when using the DgtWld. Normal people (non Correctors) cannot customize any sort of avatar in the DgtWld clearly since their real body remains in their world. Like in the office or at home for example. Also, Correctors give themselves an alias to go by so that hackers won't know their name, though if hackers wanted to, they could try to break into the Gvm (Government) computers and find out Correctors' identities. The point of the alias is to just not use real names. Consider it a username.
Phones and Music: Your cell phone is your link to your life. Your music sets the tone of your life. You can listen to pretty much anything for free in the year 2021 since you pay a music tax yearly that covers the cost already. Your phone texts, browses the web on the go, calls people, records video, and does much more. Without your phone, you cannot access your MChip, phones are replaceable while MChips aren't but the phones are not cheap by any means.
Closing Comments: It is possible for a Corrector to appear as one gender but be the opposite. Below is the CS, please follow it to a t. This is about character development and having fun as well as exploring technology. I will be playing two to three, one or two will be the antagonists of our first large plot. And we will be roleplaying in chapters. Chapter One will be our characters meeting up and facing a new danger. Now whether our characters are friends or are being joined together from around Japan (or other countries?) is up to you guys. I can go either way. I'd ask for a writing sample but since this site is fresh, I don't expect anyone would have one to show. So to determine the expected posting range (amount of paragraphs) and frequency of posts in the IC/OOC, we'll need to begin discussing expectations, confusion etc. The CS itself is short so feel free to throw something up and edit when necessary. I will be looking them over to ensure everything alright.
