Backstory:
It is America in the future, the year 2134. All Americans live in 156 super-cities, miles and miles of concrete jungles. In the biggest (such as New York, Washington D.C., etc.), it would take over a week to drive from side to side at the thinnest points. In this future society, the American government is... broke. It doesn't have the money to have enough machines/robots built to work in factories, build things, etc. So someone in the government comes up with an evil plan...
Everyone in America has a chip in the back of their neck, connected to their nervous system/brain. Everyone, that is, except certain bands of "revolutionaries", if you will, people who have invented clever ways to trick the system into believing they still have their chips. These revolutionaries are very clever and hard to track. The chips are installed at age 1 1/2 and kept until you pass away at exactly age 85. Completely painless, don't worry. The revolutionaries have secret locations, secretly trained surgeons that will remove the chip from people ages 5 to, well, 84. These chips are used for paying for things, personal identification, etc. All good things, I assure you. But they can also be used to track people, and for... personal identification. You can keep no secrets from the government.
The "evil plan" that I mentioned earlier is this: In America, the military will use special guns that send electrical bolts into the chips at the base of the peoples' necks, knocking them unconscious. They then will enter houses in one out of every twenty neighborhoods and take the unconscious children with them. The parents will wake up not remembering that they ever had children and will continue life as normal. No one will ask questions; just remember, it is far too easy to make people forget. The children will be transported to special facilities where they will... forget about their previous lives. There will also be a little brainwashing involved. All these children will know is their first names, their ages, and that they have a serious disease. If any sunlight touches their skin, they will get horrible rashes, EXTREMELY high grade fevers, and they will die. No doctors can save them. But the government has decided to help them, and now they live in ENORMOUS industrial warehouses in every city. But they have to work to earn their keep. This is America's new workforce.
Don't forget, though, that the Revolutionaries don't have chips.
Terms, Ranks and Details:
Revolutionaries: People who don't agree with the control and power of the Elder. They don't have chips.
The Elder: The "king," essentially, of America. (One place open, PM me with charrie.)
The Guardian: The military leader of America. (One place open, PM me with charrie.)
The Pupils: Advisers to the Elder. (Five places open, PM me with charrie.)
The Guides: Local leaders of each supercity (156 positions open.)
If you are a factory worker, put, "Factory Worker" under Rank/Job. If you aren't, put any random, boring job. If you are a Revolutionary, put a random, boring job/Revolutionary. The storyline begins five years after the night the kidnapping took place, and in that time the government has started doing experimentation on the children. Therefore, if your character is a factory worker, they can have animal-like features or be cyborgs.
