Realistic or Modern The Simulation [NOW CLOSED]

Maxx

A Faded Ghost
It's 2021. The world is fucked up. It has been for a while. Everyone is obsessed with celebrities, fashion, the latest trends, whilst ignoring all the shit that happens in the real world. Murder. Drugs. Suicide. Few people seem to notice the real world. That's because they hide it so well. They do their best to not let it affect them. Those who can't help but let it affect them, they're labeled as "emo", freaks, and get told that everything will be fine once they shove some pills down their throats.

Lately, more and more people see how fucked up the world is, and just want to get away from it. They choose to leave this world. And the rest of the people just bury their heads deeper in the sand that is the media. Ignoring the fact that people are dying all around them.

A few years ago, a team made up of programmers, scientists, and tech geniuses came up with what they thought to be the perfect solution to the problem. Introducing: the Simulation. Well, its full name is the Alternate Reality Simulation Experience, but... Well, the team didn't really want people to know it as the ARSE. Besides, if everything went to plan, this wouldn't just be an experience; it would become a part of everyday life.

Fast forward to 2020. The team behind the Simulation finally gave the public an idea of what they were working on.

The Simulation was designed to resemble this world. But without all the disaster. Stuff like that would be detected right away, and stopped right away. Sounds perfect, right?

It is exactly what it's called. A simulation. The end goal is for the entire world to be "logged in" to the Simulation. Jobs? Deal with it in the Simulation. Food? Deal with it in the Simulation. Heck, even stuff like pregnancies and funerals would be dealt with in the Simulation, with robots in the real world to take care of the physical stuff.

A few months later. April 2021. The team working on the Simulation put out an announcement asking for beta testers. About six teenagers, aged between 14 and 18. That was the age range the scientists said would be able to handle the Simulation best if anything went wrong.

Of course something went wrong. See, the team didn't exactly give out all the information about the Simulation. It needs to be directly plugged into your brain. The team had the teens all set up. They had been knocked out, plugged in, and were set to wake up in the Simulation any minute. But there was a glitch in the system. The team lost any and all control they had over the thing. And without control over the system, they couldn't even get the teens out of there without killing them.

The glitch in the system affected not just the Simulation, but it appeared to have gotten into nearly every other computer system on the planet, connecting all of them. And you know what that means? The Simulation could change at any time without warning, and anything could pop up. Something like that is extremely wild. And unpredictable. And dangerous.




You wake up in the Simulation. Around you are other people. You vaguely recognize them as the other beta testers. You remember going into a room, seeing the hardware of the Simulation, and then... Nothing. You remember nothing after that. You do know why you're here though.

You are a beta tester. You know your job is to check out the Simulation, look for bugs, that sort of thing. Of course, you have no clue about the system glitch, but how could you? Anyway, you'll find out soon enough.

Do you mind putting it in actual full sentences? Sorry, I know I'm probably annoying asking that, it's just easier for me to read if it is.

Her name is Cieka Matteo, a 16 year old half Korean half Italian female. She doesn’t have any nicknames and her sexuality is bisexual. She’s short with long black hair and gorgeous green eyes, slightly tanned skin and a little chubby. She’s physically gifted from her mother and she only ever wears black skinny jeans, converse and a loose graphic tshirt with a oversized black jacket over the top.

People tend to call her cold hearted and moody, however she’s only like that to people she doesn’t know personally and are close to, otherwise she’s caring loveable and friendly. She loves pizza, anime, and manga. She dislikes homophobic people, most foods and people that annoy her for no reason.

Cieka can read excellently, wrote decently well and loves to solve trick questions and solve riddles, making her good at finding solutions to tricky situations. However, she isn’t good at everything as she cannot cook.

As a small child she moved from her mothers home town in Korea to her fathers home town in Italy, and a few years after that moving to Britain for her fathers job. She’d always been an outsider at school because of her ethnicity and sexuality. She signed up to become a beta tester for ARSE because she wanted to feel accepted somewhere else instead of just her house.

Full Name: Kian Coleman
Nickname(s): "Kinosphere", "Kino".
Age: 17
Gender Identity: Male
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Personality: Kian is an intellectual, quiet and somewhat nervous individual at his core, but he hides this behind a casual, comedic and upbeat personality. Kian as most people know him is usually the center of attention, very charismatic and friendly, with something to add to just about any conversation. However, when the eyes are off him, he struggles with inferiority complexes and impostor syndrome, mainly based off the fame his skills have given him. Despite having made numerous friends and tons of respect doing what he does, Kian tends to let his few detractors weigh him down, a fact which he considers undesirable to most people.
Likes
-Gaming (speed-running and finding exploits in particular)
-Electronic music
-A good challenge
Dislikes
-Short-changing, both competitively and in reality
-Censorship
-His own shortcomings
Skills: Kian's finest skill, and the one that got him the most attention for the job, is his gaming skill. He's been playing games since he was able to comprehend what the buttons on a controller meant, and he's perfected his skill to a point that even when presented with a game he's never played before, withing 24 hours he'll have the game's fundamentals down to a tee. He's put this skill to use in speedrunning, where he has shattered many long-standing records and currently possesses over 150 records of his own. On the side he also looks for glitches in games he plays, both through normal experimentation and by peering into the code. He's even made a few small games himself, and hopes to get a job in the game industry when he's older. However, in the real world, aside from his intellect, Kian doesn't have much else going for him. If he ever got in a fight in reality, he'd get his ass handed to him quite easily.
Appearance

https://pm1.narvii.com/6316/9efbde9bdb4113487df10e9eb3b37645a295aef5_hq.jpg
Background
Kian was born in New Brunswick, but moved to Alberta while he was still a child. In school, although he made a few friends, he preferred to be alone in his room with a good game. In 2013 at the age of 9, he entered his first gaming competition, a small promotional time trial challenge for a racing game at his local mall. Although he didn't win, it did inspire him to enter more local gaming competitions, as well as start streaming games, two things which would soon bring him widespread popularity. In 2017, at the age of 13, he debuted on the speedrunning scene, only making him more popular. His skill at breaking games brought him countless records, some of which he still holds to this day, as did his tendency to dress formally for live events, and his obscure sense of humor. Today, his streams receive millions of views, and news about his harshest speedrunning rivalries tends to make headlines in the news.
Kian never applied for the beta test; the company mailed him instead. Kian, who had a growing interest in VR technology that he had talked about in his streams, found the offer irresistible. He accepted the offer partially because he's curious, partially to see how much the game will bend before it breaks, and partially because he thinks what the experiment really needs is someone like him to raise awkwardness of it.

Full Name - Samantha-Rose Sanders
Nickname(s) - Sam, Sanders, Samantha-Rose (but only when one of her mums are cross at her)
Age - 16
Gender Identity - Female
Sexual Orientation - Bisexual
Personality -
She is kind and fiery, but can also be very Dangerous and a bit distrusting. She's a bit of a romantic at times.
Likes -
  • Her bow and arrow because her mum, Kristie, taught her how to shoot.
  • Harley Quinn but not the movie versions she prefers the books version of her.
Dislikes -
  • High pitched screeching/ loud noises
  • People using the wrong terminology when it comes to archery
Skills -
  • Fighting
  • Excellent archer
Appearance -
Slim muscular build similar to a gymnasts or dancers body. Walks with poise like a ballet dancer. Tanned skin and blue eyes. Her hair was originally black but recently dyed it platinum blonde. Her roots are still kinda black. Prefers wearing biker t-shirts, leather jackets, distressed jeans and slightly heeled ankle boots. The strap of her quiver runs along her body from her left shoulder to her right hip with her arrows peaking out above her left shoulder. Her all black leather finger tab is always on her left middle finger.

Background -
When she was a couple months old Samantha was adopted by her two mums; Kristie and Lillian “L” Sanders. They had to adopt because Kristie found out that she couldn’t have kids and L didn’t want to be pregnant as it would affect her job too much. Kristie was an Archer for the GB Olympic team and L works for the CIA. L was on a mission at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia when they met.
Samantha grew up with her parents in a small town just outside the city with a surprisingly open minded community that didn’t mind a family with same-sex parents raising a child.
When Samantha was 3 years old she wanted to be, like every other little girl across the world, a ballet dancer so her parents enrolled her into a ballet class. She continued that until she was 10 when she switched to archery. After having gotten into a fight when she was 8 with some mean girls at school, L began teaching Sam how to fight. Sam quickly advanced and now they spar every weekend.
When same-sex marriage was legalised in the UK in July 2014 L proposed to Kristie 2 months later and they were married on the 8th of July 2016.
In early 2020 Kristie was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. With all the advances in medicine and cancer research there was still no full proof cure that didn’t involve going through the hell of chemo, so she decided to keep the diagnosis to herself and not go through any treatments. On L + Kristie’s 4 year Anniversary they took a drive to the beach where Kristie breathed her last breath in L’s arms.
After Kristie’s death Sam took archery more seriously as it made her feel closer to her mum. It was also as her way of coping. In the last year she had gotten pretty good. 99% of time she hit dead centre of moving targets and then when she ‘Robin Hooded’ her first arrow she felt immensely proud.
Since Kristie’s death L began to take on more assignments and became distant. As a way of trying to get her attention Sam bought a fake ID off a friend’s Mum and went to bars and clubs. Not to drink but to see if L would notice. Well, let’s just say she deeply regretted it when they began to spar that weekend.
In an attempt to get back into L’s good books she volunteered to be a beta tester. She figured that if she can prove to L, and herself, that she isn’t that little girl who’s scared of the dark anymore, her mum would come back to her and wouldn’t feel as if she had to protect her anymore...

Other -
Her bow is Blue and black
The fletchings on her arrows are Dark Red and pinkey purple.
And her Quiver and Arm Guard is black
She is left hand dominant when it comes to archery but right hand dominant in everything else.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And for those who don’t know fancy Archery terms.
‘Robin Hooding’ an arrow - when you split an arrow down the middle with another arrow
Fletchings - the half circle/ half heart shaped things at the end of the arrow that helps it fly.
Quiver - the thing that holds the arrows.
Arm Guard - it’s pretty self explanatory but it’s the thing that goes on the inside forearm of the arm that holds the bow to protect your arm from being scraped by the string. (because it blooming hurts when it does)
Finger tab - it's the thing that attaches to your middle finger of the hand you draw back with to protect your skin from the string. It covers your 3 middle fingers with your ring and middle finger on one piece of fabric and your index finger on another.

When someone is left hand dominant in archery it means they hold their bow in their right hand and draws back with their left.

I hope this is ok and makes sense...

Johnathan Nicholas Weiss
[div class=basics]
Nickname(s):
Johnny, Nikki
Age:
18 years old
Gender Identity:
Very, Very Male
Sexual Orientation:
Sapiosexual
Appearance:
[div class=psych]
Personality:
Johnny was never the kind to be fussy. He never complained, and he never asked for more. He knew he wouldn't get it. He was very family-oriented, until his father murdered his mother, and even after that, the connections he, himself built were extremely important to him. Some might call him slovenly, because of the state of his home, which tends to be rather messy, but it's mostly because Johnny doesn't care much about physical things.
Likes:
Johnny doesn't like much, but what he does like tends to be of a sentimental, rather than aesthetic nature. He likes people that have certain qualities, such as humility and intelligence.
Dislikes:
Johnny dislikes anything that is "too opulent", thinking that it must be fake. He also dislikes arrogance and pomp. He feels that those qualities are those of the most ignorant kind of people. He also feels that having too much causes one to be lazy and unable to think.
[/div]

[div class=background]
Background
Johnny was born in a broken home, with no money. Every night as a young child, Johnny would listen to his parents argue. About money. About food. About drugs. About him. His mother had convinced herself that the only way that Johnny, as well as his parents, would survive, is if they put Johnny up for adoption. She hated feeling this way, but it was the only way forward, and the best shot she could give to Johnny. His father felt differently. He had raised Johnny to value family above all else.
One day, Johnny's mother, Samantha, had decided she wasn't going to ask, anymore. During an argument with Johnny's father, David, she had called the adoption center. Johnny didn't know for sure what happened, but soon, the police were at his house, putting his father in handcuffs, and taking his mother away on a stretcher. Out of fear of losing his son, David had killed Samantha, and in doing so, broke his most important lesson for his son.
On the day his mother died, Johnny was 13 years old. From then on, he moved around, a ward of the state. He did whatever he could to survive. It wasn't easy, but he found a way. When he was 15, he was introduced to a rebellion group. They asserted that the government was conducting evil experiments on citizens, and that they were planning for a major war in an attempt to gain the resources they needed to survive. Johnny, who had survived with the bare essentials for several years, saw the evidence presented to him as valid, and decided to join.
At the age of 17, Johnny's group caught wind of the Simulation Experiment, which would begin when Johnny was 18, but was already looking for test subjects. Johnny's group asked him if he was willing to take part. To be a spy, and to see if there was any way the Government's plans could be subverted from within. He agreed to take part in the experiment... he just didn't know what he was getting into. No one really did.
[/div] [div class=skills]
Skills:
While he was drifting, he developed a few necessary skills:
Stealth (for avoiding conflict)
Theft (for food)
Brawling (for when he couldn't avoid conflict)
While in his group, Johnny developed these skills:
Programming
Hacking
Deception
Manipulation
Persuasion

Age:

Gender Identity:
Very, Very Male

Sapiosexual
Appearance:
[div class=psych]
Personality:
Johnny was never the kind to be fussy. He never complained, and he never asked for more. He knew he wouldn't get it. He was very family-oriented, until his father murdered his mother, and even after that, the connections he, himself built were extremely important to him. Some might call him slovenly, because of the state of his home, which tends to be rather messy, but it's mostly because Johnny doesn't care much about physical things.
Likes:
Johnny doesn't like much, but what he does like tends to be of a sentimental, rather than aesthetic nature. He likes people that have certain qualities, such as humility and intelligence.
Dislikes:
Johnny dislikes anything that is "too opulent", thinking that it must be fake. He also dislikes arrogance and pomp. He feels that those qualities are those of the most ignorant kind of people. He also feels that having too much causes one to be lazy and unable to think.

Background
Johnny was born in a broken home, with no money. Every night as a young child, Johnny would listen to his parents argue. About money. About food. About drugs. About him. His mother had convinced herself that the only way that Johnny, as well as his parents, would survive, is if they put Johnny up for adoption. She hated feeling this way, but it was the only way forward, and the best shot she could give to Johnny. His father felt differently. He had raised Johnny to value family above all else.
One day, Johnny's mother, Samantha, had decided she wasn't going to ask, anymore. During an argument with Johnny's father, David, she had called the adoption center. Johnny didn't know for sure what happened, but soon, the police were at his house, putting his father in handcuffs, and taking his mother away on a stretcher. Out of fear of losing his son, David had killed Samantha, and in doing so, broke his most important lesson for his son.
On the day his mother died, Johnny was 13 years old. From then on, he moved around, a ward of the state. He did whatever he could to survive. It wasn't easy, but he found a way. When he was 15, he was introduced to a rebellion group. They asserted that the government was conducting evil experiments on citizens, and that they were planning for a major war in an attempt to gain the resources they needed to survive. Johnny, who had survived with the bare essentials for several years, saw the evidence presented to him as valid, and decided to join.
At the age of 17, Johnny's group caught wind of the Simulation Experiment, which would begin when Johnny was 18, but was already looking for test subjects. Johnny's group asked him if he was willing to take part. To be a spy, and to see if there was any way the Government's plans could be subverted from within. He agreed to take part in the experiment... he just didn't know what he was getting into. No one really did.

I love it. Obviously accepted.
 
Laptop, but I've got the window thingy at half the size of my screen, because I've got two things open side by side at the moment.
