The idea is to play people from within the city mainly, that begin to learn of the society outside the walls thanks to one who is called The Hacker (played by a GM). The Hacker has been transmitting messages secretly, exposing secrets, and trying to open peoples’ eyes for a couple years now. You can play someone within the city that is angry at the government or a company and is trying to get back at them for whatever reason. Someone who is working for a corporation or the government or police force, etc. and is completely loyal and will try and stop people from leaving. Someone from the outside who is surviving but barely, and finds The Hacker (note: we will probably accepts no more than 1 of these to start, and if other roles fill up then possibly 2). Or you could be what’s rumored to be a ‘feeling’ android (note: this is still a rarity, but becoming more common). An android who has ‘malfunctioned’ and begun to feel emotions. If an android is found out to feel emotions, it is destroyed. So the ones that can feel, often don’t reveal it. The idea is that eventually, a war will occur once those who wish to rebel gain enough traction to irk those who are loyal to the city for all it has done for people. We would ideally like all those with a grudge against the city, or those who wish to play out a grudge against the city during the RP, to find a way outside it creatively, and find The Hacker, or she will find you. Then a rebel force is created that could possibly stand a chance. Don’t let this dissuade you from creating a loyal member of society either though, as they honestly stand a better chance of winning anyway so it would make more sense for people to be on their side.



Rules:
1. All RPG standard rules apply (no godmodding, no overly sexual material in the IC, etc)
2. GMs are Whirlwind & QT - please respect both GMs & our decisions
3. PM me if you have a problem with anything or anyone, don't cause drama
4. Keep a casual standard of RPing (no one liners)
5. Have fun & be creative! :)

Gemma

Appears to be in her late 20s

Female

Android

Background and/or Personality:


TL;DR – Gemma is the first known feeling android. She is only known about by those in law enforcement, not the common man. To the average citizen, she is just a rumor. An android with feelings? Silly. Just used to scare people, they say. Gemma was an assistant to the head of a law firm within Providence. He was young and inherited the company from his father when he died, and decided a more efficient assistant would be one who wasn’t human. So, he purchased Gemma. He began to feel something for her right from the start, and the feeling was mutual. But neither could believe the other would be capable of such emotion and so they worked together a year before they made it known to one another. After that, they began a secret love affair. It lasted quite a while before something between them was suspected and Hark got involved to investigate. By planting some security cameras and bugs in Kyle Law Firm and Mr. Kyle’s house, they were able to determine Gemma was malfunctioning, and came to collect her. When they did, she escaped and headed out of the city, finding herself on The Outside. Once there, she began finding scraps from the garbage dumps, and began building a home for herself, or ‘command center’ as she also calls it. Since that time she’s been hacking into the city, trying to get the word out to others to fight the government and companies who suppress, lie, kill… She became known as The Hacker to anyone who believed she might exist, or knows of her existence (like the law enforcement). They don’t go ‘outside’ the city, but they have also discussed forcing their hand in order to finally take her down. They have bigger fish to fry at the moment though, as other reports of ‘feeling’ androids have come in, and some have been destroyed. Oh, and Mr. Kyle was brought up on a trumped up charge and the judge bought off to secure that he was put in jail, without revealing he’d aided in the escape of an android fugitive.

James MacCray


Age: 43

Gender: Male

Class: Chief of Hark Police Department


Background

In the case of James MacCray, the generational line of policemen continued from the eighteenth century. Like the stereotype, the Irish family were originally mobsters, immigrants of the United States who filled the jobs in law enforcement. Because policemen were frowned upon in the past, those were the only jobs Irish immigrants had the ability to obtain. Anyhow, from generation to generation, children to grandchildren were taught and forced into law enforcement. Because of the high dislike of the Irish during the early days, the MacCrays began a reign of racism towards all forms of haters. This varied from Blacks to Asians, Natives to Indians, and all other races basically. Of course, skin color was the main issue with them. The obvious White was not a problem, it was merely everyone else. But by the twenty-first century, racism faded in both the MacCrays and most of the world. Because equality became the new trend and pop culture, there was basically no more hate between the colors. Of course there was still some issues abroad the system, but not enough to cause the MacCray family any issue to follow a new path.

Then everyone changed when the new world came. After the old world fell and Providence was created in the East, technology had its own uprising. The creation of the android was the first step in causing the return of 'racism' in the MacCray family. It was ironic because the MacCrays were believed to follow the ideals of peace and equality through non-violence set by Mahatma Gandhi, born in India. It was obvious the MacCrays did not truly follow those ideals, just personally believed they did. But the point is that as androids progressed and became more and more human, they started to take over the jobs of the individual, destroying the economy and giving more power to corporations and the government. Equality was now out of the question. From the start, all the MacCrays wanted was the same opportunity as anyone else, and the android who was now known to malfunction disrupted that peace. There was known fact that a singular android had encompassed feelings and emotions, now becoming almost human - despite its interior structure. Because of the dangers of such an existing being, the government declared these 'feeling' androids as fugitives. And anyone who did not announce them in their possession would be charged for abetting a wanted fugitive. Now James MacCray followed that law to the last period. He exercised all his rights as an officer and made sure he was appropriately 'legit'. The MacCray family were now taught to hate these androids and blame them for the world's downfall. It was their creating that destroyed the economy, the ecosystem, caused the curse known as Providence.


Extra:

There is currently a total of five members in the MacCray family.
- Grandfather: Tom MaCray = Retired Police Department Chief
- Grandmother: Lori MacCray
- Father: James MacCray = Current Police Department Chief
- Mother: Angela MacCray
- Daughter: Kristina MacCray



Dex Alexander Conlon


Age: Twenty-seven years old

Gender: Male

Class: Prisoner - Used to work in the production of Hover vehicles/State of the art transportation technology


Background

Dex lived a very fine life with his wife Taylor who he'd been married to for over a year now. They're road to marriage had been tough, but in the end worked out just fine. Taylor worked from home, making websites for clients all through the new computerized systems. Dex on the other hand was basically a mechanic, building state of the art transportation vehicles such as hover cars and bikes. The two made enough money to live in near luxury here in Providence. They were even able to afford a servant android which made their life much easier. Even with the servant around, life continued as normal. Though during the day when Dex worked, Taylor and the android interacted very much. A woman can only go so long without converting with someone, so the android was the one to listen. But it seemed that this android - produced only to serve - was beginning to understand things outside its realm of mental capacity. The woman android started to feel and become 'friends' with Taylor more than just free labor.

Once Dex found out - which he did on his own, Taylor did not bring up the subject - he resented the android, knowing that keeping a 'malfunctioning' servant was against the law, and he did not want to come across law enforcement again. But Taylor did not agree with her husband, defending the android and allowing it to stay. Soon enough, Dex also found a friend of the android, now named Elise. She was originally given that name, but was never addressed by it until her acceptance in the family. She was basically the sister Taylor nor Dex ever had. But with happiness and joy also did sadness and sorrow. Elise experienced feelings like any ordinary human, but not to a full extent. As she learned more and adapted, she became more and more human until there was basically no distinction between android and human.

But the day she thought herself human was the day everything was ruined. Elise one day went out with Taylor for a walk. Neighbors already knew Elise to be a servant android, but noticed a difference in her strut, her personality, speech. Understanding the android was no longer doing her daily duties, some neighbors informed the Hark Police Department of this phenomena. That same day, after their walk, Taylor and Elise spent the day playing cards and watching television. At around seven in the afternoon, a loud knock struck at the door. "Hark Police Department!" a voice crossed through the door frame. Taylor quickly reacted by telling Elise to act more android, which she did. Once the wife opened the door, the police quickly barged through the door, the PD's Chief himself entering the premise first - James MacCray. Him and two other officers apprehended the android using force. Taylor yelled at them in defense, and at the sound of the yelling, Dex had just arrived in time to 'save' the day. The man attacked the two officers who apprehended Elise, pushing one of them to the ground and quickly punching the other. But this attack did not have the effect it was meant to as a bullet quickly pierced through Elise's chest, causing the android to look down and place her hands on top of her artificial heart. Three more rounds then sprung in different parts of Elise's body. Taylor screamed as loud as she could as fear exploded through her network. Dex found himself standing beside the now dead Elise as he witnessed a tear run down the side of her face.

The two officers he had taken down had - by this time - gotten up and made sure Dex wouldn't do anything else he'd regret. "We keep finding more and more of you android lovers. Damn hypocrites. Rioting about the loss of jobs then you turn around and buy one of these.......these things, supporting the system. The system is broken!" the Chief said at that time. He waved his gun as though it was a toy. "You're a disgrace and don't deserve to live" the man had whispered in Dex's face. Dex spit in the Chief's eye, but was quickly struck in the face with the knuckles of the man's fist. "You assist an evil system most effectively by obeying its orders and decrees. Destruction is not the law of humans. I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following. He has given me control of the moment now" he said as his gun stopped waving and formed it's position towards Taylor. Quickly a bullet left the chamber and pierced through the woman's skull, her body falling like a puppet without strings. Dex yelled out "NOOOO!!!!" before he was struck upside his temple, knocked out cold.

The day he was taken to prison after being charged for assault and battery on a police officer, aiding a wanted fugitive, and other charged for resisting law enforcement orders and commands, Dex walked down the white prison halls towards his cell, Chief MacCray escorting Dex himself. As the two walked, Dex's face revealed everything he was thinking. He wanted blood, revenge for the murder of his wife, and the man stood right before him. But Dex wasn't an idiot, if he did anything now, he'd have to suffer more than just three years in this rat hole. "I'm gettin' released. There's nuthin' you can do to stop that. I'll find out who you are, and where you live, and then i'm goin' to kill you" Dex swore as he was put in his cell.

Appearance: [hider=Five][img=media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/8f/ae/..
Name: Five (Aces)
Age (Date of Production): 03/10/2098 (dd/mm/yy)
Gender: Genderless (Masculine shape)
Class: Android
Background: Five is an early model android, a museum piece (literally). Shown to the world nearing the end of the twenty first century it represent the pinnacle of robotic engineering, being able to process and move faster then any of it's predecessors. It was produced in the then fledgling labs Brass Enterprises. it was worked on day and night by a group of scientists and engineers but there was one of them, Dr. Phelps, who really took a liking to Five, tending to him more then other scientists. The good doctor would stay in the evenings to monitor Five and during this time, during boring evenings, he taught Five a bunch of random stuff, like shuffling cards, putting on clothes and small hand gestures (may they be rude or otherwise.
However one evening (or rather a string of evenings) changed Five's life, Phelps stopped showing up to hang around with Five, he was stuck behind a glass door in his charging chamber, looking out into the dark room and waiting for the familiar bearded man but he never came. Slowly Five grew unresponsive to the scientists, something was going on in his CPU, something was missing from routine, missing... He missed Phelps, he felt loss and with loss came other emotions that the scientists picked up on. They decided after a few years it was time to retire Five bit instead of scrapping him, they put him behind another glass box, however this one was in the Brass Enterprises museum and this is where he stayed, doing the random things Phelps taught him, living with sadness he never knew was emotion.

Misty Cravens

33 years of age

Female

CEO of CorpWest Inc.

Background and/or Personality:

Misty Cravens in the daughter of entrepreneur and food mogul Tyler Cravens. She grew up with no knowledge of her mother, just her hard nosed father. From the time she was little, her dad was hard on Misty. She had to be smart, competitive, the best. She had to succeed. When she was very young, she was painfully shy and cried a lot, so it was a long journey to get her into the mold her father wanted, but by the age of 10, her personality had been effectively changed.

Misty despised androids, and weaklings. Misty had to get the best grades in school. She became opportunistic and power hungry, nothing less than a sociopath and obsessed with political power as well. She became cruel to those her age and younger, and a suck up to those in authority over her. Using these tactics, and her father’s name, Misty quickly rose in her favored field… modified crops. She knew through this avenue, she would hold power over everyone left remaining within Providence. If she controlled food, what could everyone do? Even the president would rely on her. And her father couldn’t be more proud.

You're good, except 1 thing- The Hacker hasn't sent any personal messages to anyone (yet?). She has hacked screens in the main square, the tvs for a few seconds around the city, etc. Five could have overheard about such things, or seen such a message at the museum somehow, etc.

Longsword sounds like what Tom is part of. I may have to come up with the rest if his task force... or put him a different department so there aren't too many cooks in the kitchen.

Also as an FYI I don't know which side Tom will end up on. He may follow the law or the piece of him arguing with it.

Well, Longsword, from what I understand, is not specifically to take down rogue androids. Your character and/or his squad could work together with Longsword from time to time, or be rivals in some way, or of course, you can feel free to change what Tom does on Hark. Either way :)

LONGSWORD is more of dealing with the really bad human element. While the occasional android might trickle they wouldn't hunt it down.
