2432 CE: Genetic manipulation has reached its peak. IQs can now be specially engineered to 200. Hair color, eyes, and other features are for parents to control. Personality manipulation is the stuff of science fiction and can never be achieved.
2563 CE: Atomic manipulation is available. Atoms can be created and destroyed at will.
2585 CE: "The Dark" occurs. All metal in the world goes dark for 10 seconds, then humanity blacks out for 10 years while specially engineered drones and probes go around the world and insert an electric virus emitter. The virus is controlled by a man named Giov Morodimi. Humanity is aware only of the 10 seconds during which all electricity stopped and all metal went mysteriously black. Many speculators believe aliens, but this was disproved by NASA.
2654 CE: Giov Morodimi enters a cyrochamber where he will achieve sub-sentient immortality. His mind still controls the virus emitters and the viruses themselves.
2733 CE: Giov releases virus. His cousin, Derigm Morodimi, institutes "The Hack". All alter-egos are put in cryostasis and their personalities are carried by the infected cells to the virus emitters, who in turn "Upload" them to a mysterious supercomputer known as the "L-Net", standing for "Life-Network". It is now 0 LNR (Life Network Rotations).
0.5 LNR: Derigm voluntarily joins the L-Net to assimilate humanity for "The Return", when they will all be enslaved to the Morodimis. Derigm and Giov cannot figure out how to directly control personalities, but they know how to code it into their minds.
50 LNR: The Morodimis lose control. Nobody knows why. Legend says that Derigm's key to the Return is still hidden in the L-Net.
250 LNR: Civilization is reestablished. Various cyber-governments spring up.
You have the ability to cast 'spells' in the format of a computer command. Only a small nobility has access to these.
Format:
///:{[CommandNameOneWordAbbreviationsAreLikelyALLCAPS]:<Target/Message/PointA/PointB/AnyThatMayApply:<Whatever>>}(security code clearance-command channel)
Examples:
///:{[IMSG]:<Message:<Hello>><Target:<UltikanaRe>>}(0-ulti'schannel)
Sends the message "Hello" to UltikanaRe through the "ulti'schannel"
///:{[DEATH]:<Target:UltikanaRe>>}(7-End)
Kills UltikanaRe through the "End" command channel
Security Code Clearances
0-7, easy to hard to learn the inner code. 7 is unknown to most people.
Levels of code
0-7, 0 being visible when you enter the command line, 7 being accessible only by hacking into the inner core of the L-Net. Depending on the clearance of the command, you must know that layer of inner code.
File extensions
An User (Command-wielder) may create files of varying power depending on the commands used in that file. Here are some common file extensions and their clearance:
.doc: Document, 0
.img: Image, 0
.dsp: Display, 0
.adsp: Animated Display, 1
.wor: Superficial world (looks and feels like just a game), 1
.wedit: World Edit (Minor), 2
.lnk: Persona Display Link, 2
.ccon: Optionial Control Link, 3
.ssc: Self Structure Change, 3
.wrd: File ward, 4
.endoc: Encrypted document (Minor), 4
.nedit: Net/World Edit (Medium), 5
.enfl: Encrypted File (Major), 5
.core: Net Edit (Major), 6
.aurhak: Hack into persona without permission, 6
.moro: Contact to the 'mythical' world of Earth, 7
.rel: File pertaining to "The Return", 7
Netaliases
All personas within the L-Net have a Netalias, which is essentially a name. Users have an Useralias and a Netalias. For most commands (specifically minor ones), a Netalias is required. For the most advanced commands, they may require an Useralias.
Netcodes
All personas have a Netcode, which is essentially a password. Users have Netcodes and Usercodes. Again, these are required for commands and accessing files well as the L-Net itself.
All humans are users, the other 5/6 of the populace are net personas. They are engineered to be the Mrodimi's military ideal citizens. They're looks and features are based off of a random User.
You will play a user, and feel free to make your own commands. If I see something OP I will tell you, but virtually anything is possible with the right clearance.
The posting requirement is 8-14 paras a week, distributed however you wish. When you are making your character, think about the world (file) you are in. Nothing is perfect in the L-Net, so feel free to come up with a few mega-dystopias. You may also decide you want your native world to resemble a high fantasy MMOORG. That is totally fine. I want that diversity. You are required to also fill out the world sheet unless you have the express consent of the world builder. Anything used without permission will not be accepted, be I do not accept world builders who decide they no longer want to work with the other person at a deeper level.
You may switch up the order of anything in those sheets.
Please do not go too far over those maximums. I do not really want novella-epic-per-post or even in CSs (although I did intentionally add a lot to the CSs and Worldbuiling Sheet). I feel this belongs in advanced because I do want 2 or more paragraphs a post, I just want less than 10 (per post).
