[Disclaimer: Some content may seem quite shocking or disturbing. The conspiracy theories here are just that - theories. For entertainment, these theories are true.] --- Memories. Segments of life, stored away in a region of the brain - the hippocampus. They can be accessed for any reason, good or bad, everything from recalling the directions to the local store to recalling why it is you don't like a particular song. Memories can be linked to objects, environments, sensations. They can be triggered and it can be near impossible to make them stop. Almost everyone has a painful memory or two - for some, even more. Depending on the severity, individuals can be near crippled by them. Memories are powerful. They can drive a person to commit acts of evil or they can help a person to learn and grow. In New York in the year 2025, people grew weary of their painful memories. They wanted them gone and pleasant recollections put in their place. The Anamnesis Assembly was formed to help. A series of brain reconstructions via medication and intensive therapy removed selected memories and installed new, happier ones of the patient's choosing. However, a high ranking member of the Anamnesis Assembly had other ideas. Instead of implanting pleasant memories, he implanted unimaginable nightmares. Government conspiracies and cover ups, the violence and shady goings on. All ones that the man had harvested from ex officials who wished to forget. Only a handful of people were implanted with these memories before the man was hauled away to an unknown, yet likely gruesome fate. The process is irreversible and now, the individuals who have these memories are being hunted for the information they now have in their minds. You are one of those people. --- Alright, so! Hey, guys. This is a roleplay that I thought of when watching a play through of the game 'To the Moon'. Here is a brief [b] PLOT SUMMARY[/b] if the above was confusing: Basically, you are a person who has a memory that you wished to get rid of and replaced with something nicer. However, the head doctor of the program removed your painful memory and instead replaced it with a particular government secret. The process is irreversible so now government officials are hunting you - well, your character - down to eliminate the chance of the secret being exposed. Your characters and others will have to work together to escape death. --- [b] A FEW RULES[/b] - This my property, ya hear? What I say goes, yeah? Seriously, though, this is my literary baby and I'd like it to become a beautiful literary adult who's good at sports and stuff. If you have any suggestions, by all means chuck me a message. But if I'm adamant about something, that's the way it's gonna be. - No god-modding. If your character came from your cranium, then you can control them as you please. If they are not your brain child, do not control them! Nobody likes that. - No OOC drama. Guys, we are all friends here. We're all here to have a good time and write. Please don't be rude to each other. IC drama is a-ok if whoever your character has a problem with is cool with that. Just be civil with one another. - Post length. I love me some paragraphs. Please, no one liners. I'm no novelist and I'm nowhere near the level of some of the people on here, but a minimum of two paragraphs would be appreciated! - No smut. I know, I know. "AllOurPrettySongs, don't be such a prude!" I can hear a couple people saying. But this is my house and these are my rules. Don't be doing the do in this roleplay, please. Relationships are fine! You can have love interests and do that couple-y stuff like kissing and, I don't know, staring into each other's eyes. But if it's headed in a graphic direction, please move it to the PMs. - Swearing and violence is allowed but let's not go overboard. - If you're going to be absent, please notify me or I'll get worried and start posting 'Lost' signs around the neighborhood. I know there are pretty varied timezones on here, too. - Have fun! This is a rule, so you have to. That's the law. But seriously, I really hope you have a good time in this roleplay and if you like the cut of my gib or whatever them old timers say, then don't be scared to message me. To chat or to RP in another environment or whatever. --- [b] CHARACTER SHEET [/b] Name: Age: Description: Personality: Memory removed: Government Secret Impanted: Relationship(s): Bio [optional]: --- [b] MY CHARACTER [/b] [hider=] Name: Addison York Age: 21 Description: Addison has black hair that is shaved on one side and slicked over on the other, the length reaching her shoulder.

Her skin in lightly tanned, though could still he considered pale. Addison has a prominent scar across her throat, the skin more pale, ragged and raised. Personality: Addison could be described as unstable. She is prone to bouts of anger and outrage, ones which can lead her to physical violence. During a physical fight, she will fight dirty, disregarding rules and regulations, spoken or unspoken. She is stubborn and persistent when she firmly believes in something. Addison does not scare easily and often seems to almost invite danger and death into her life. Despite these attributes, however, she is capable of being pleasant and affable, especially if she decides that she enjoys a person's company. Addison can also be loyal to an individual if she deems them to be worthy, though that doesn't happen often. She can be sarcastic and darkly humorous. Memory Removed: Addison had the memory of how she got her scar removed, as she found it to be embarrassing and unpleasant. It happened during a fight with an individual who fought even dirtier than her, slipping a shard of glass into their altercation that was supposed to be only hand-to-hand.

Bio: Addison York was born in New Orleans and lived with her father, her mother having died when she was only young. Her father supported them by less than legal means and, as such, was often under attack from various sources - police or other criminals. He taught Addison how to fight and encouraged her to never back down when challenged or insulted. When she was eighteen, she moved into her own home in New York, thinking it suited her, given her last name. She got a job at a diner to support herself and made money on the side by fighting in illegal matches. This was where she gained her scar and almost died. After this, Addison lessened her involvement in fights and eventually decided to remove the memory of her loss and the pain that was involved.[/hider] --- [b] ACCEPTED CHARACTERS[/b]
