ELECTRIC SHEEP

The year is 2224: Democracy has fallen; Poverty and dictatorship rule the traverse.

Humanity is alone.

No rich and bountiful alien races were ever discovered, only a myriad of planets in need of terraforming to facilitate survival. Humanity has, by large, become a slave race, ruled over by the wealthy elite, who play games of politics and decadent luxury. These lower classes once relied on androids to drive manual labor, preform the hellish tasks of braving climates humanity is not adapted to, but no longer.

Fast, strong, efficient, the androids were once the greatest slave race the universe had ever seen, manufactured on Mars and shipped across the galaxies to serve the Empire. However, ten years ago, the Android Rebellion and its supposed terrorism drove humanity to call for a change; henceforth, all androids have been outlawed, and only non-AI robots may serve the human race. Of course, some still survive, though often infected by the virus of the Purge.

Our events begin during the reign of Jamie au Olver. Once the savior of humanity against the Android Terror, he has since become feared and hated as a tyrant; the Agency was dissolved, and is now the Emperor's own personal Secret Police force, used to spy on and brainwash the human population. With every passing day, the poverty gap grows wider, and public opinion grows harsher and harsher as it becomes abundantly apparent that citizens are but playthings for their Emperor. Will au Olver be able to turn the tides of publicity, or will another take his place?

And what is to be said of the shadowy agency of the Blind Bureau, an organisation that answers to no known ruler, but takes people - and perhaps something more - in the night without a trace?

Oh, and one more question:

Why are the stars going out?

EXPECTATIONS

lore| characters | ooc | main rp

This shall be a roleplay with extensive lore available for use. However, if people would like to create their own Houses, planets, colonies, ships, crews, etc. they are more than welcome to. The aim for lore shall be to enable players to build on, embellish, and create tangents off of the bones of the pre-established lore. This can be done in-roleplay, or in discussion with me elsewhere.

Alien life will not be a part of this Sci-Fi roleplay because the aim is to focus on the question of what it means to be human, and how we treat one another / the life we create.

The main focus of the roleplay shall take place on the Citadel, an enormous construct that serves as the centre of the traverse's political and economic activity, the home of the Emperor, and where the Imperial Fleet is stationed. You are welcome to have characters stationed elsewhere, who may converge with Citadel-based characters, or they can simply feel the fallout of the political climate wherever they are based. (( SEE THE LORE PAGE FOR LOCATIONS, or create your own! ))

Character Applications are now open.

Suggested Character Roles:
-
- Nobility, either supporting, competing with, against, or neutral towards the present Emperor.
- Criminals in all shapes and sizes, from vigilantes to rebels to murderers.
- Members of the Emperor's Secret Police
- Androids, in hiding or entrenched in crime
- Ordinary folk who will, inevitably, become entangled in things they never wished to be a part of
- Business Megalomaniacs
- Droid Hunters (I'm trying to resist calling them Blade Runners)
- Rogues, outcasts, and rejects
- Those playing the system
- Members of other factions

Just wanna say kudos for the amazing work put into this RP. I won't be joining personally as I know I won't be able to give it the level of commitment it needs or deserves (and also struggle with heavily political stuff) but the level of detail is superb and I hope you write an amazing story together!

I might join, I don't really know fully. Seems like a lot of work, but I'll have enough time to put into it quite soon.
