It's 2070. February to be exact. 

Every year a televised spectacle like no other is held. 

A competition that every viewer awaits with anticipation. 

The Genesis Game. 

A televised contest where every bioweaponry lab in the nation submits their greatest experimental subject to a series of trials, battles and dangerous games with view to finding the greatest among them. The strongest, smartest, most impressive creation. The creators of the winning subject will receive the military's contract for the year, and the winning subject receives fame, fortune and adoration...if not their freedom. 
[h2] The Contestants [/h2]

Various bioweapon laboratories have sent their greatest creations to compete in The Genesis Game, and at the cutting edge of biological and genetic manipulation, you will see a diverse set of traits among the competitors.  Human-animal hybrids, vast enhanced biological attributes to the point that they resemble superpowers, cybernetic implantation...  the list goes on.  Some of the subjects were created by the companies from nothing at all, some were human once, a long time ago.  Some are entirely comfortable in their role as a supercharged freak of nature, some hate, resent, and fear their treatment and their place in the world. 

Regardless of any of these factors, all of them have been brought to Genesis 1, the complex that will serve as an arena for the spectacle. In between games they will have to live together and co-exist. Perhaps grow friendships or relationships... though perhaps not so much as to get too close.. who knows who they might be made to fight next, after all?


[h2] The Game [/h2]

The Game takes place over several weeks with many different rounds that test the contestants' attributes in every way. From speed, to strength, to combat prowess, to psychological strength.  The system studies them and their behaviour and calculates the best way to put them under pressure. With each event competitors are ranked and awarded points based upon it. The one with the most points at the end of the final event will be declared the winner. 

It s not an event that wishes to see all but its winner die. However it is also not one that will actively try and prevent deaths. If a contender is killed in an event...well it drives up TV ratings.. and there are always more contestants. 

Though that isn't the only thing for the contestants to be scared about. After all, the whole purpose is to find the greatest of the experiments... so if they do not win it would be easy to write them off as...failed. And nothing good happens to a failed experiment.

The Genesis 1 complex, sat within the industrial district of a large city. Is created in an agreement between the military and the media company Optik, broadcaster of the Genesis Game. As such the whole thing is blisteringly high tech. It's a large, extensive complex that extends below the ground for some distance. The System within is able to replicate all kinds of situations and terrains. 

That is, no-one has any idea what to expect.


[h2] OOC Stuff [/h2]

Hi there! This is what I have currently in mind for The Genesis Game, an RP about bioweapons on a gameshow, haha. 

The general idea  is to take this sort of loose framework and use it to make something kinda character driven and fun that focuses on both these characters being in a harsh environment, but also having to kinda co-exist together. You could also take a bunch of subplots from that too if you wanted to. 

Contestants that do not want to be there and want to break out,  maybe groups against the government trying to infiltrate the game, tensions between companies, what the nature of the 'system' that runs it is... heaps of fun possibilities. Along with the fun of all the crazy characters being cooped up together and all the fights, fall-outs and shipping that arises. 

[hider=Character Sheet] 
(An image isn't needed, but feel free to add one if you want one in. Otherwise, you can delete this bit.)
 
Name: (Some contestants had a name at some point... some not so much.) 
 
  Title: (All contestants have a title, or stage name.)
 
  Age: 
 
  Gender:

 Alterations: (What makes the subject more...or less than human.)
 
  Description: (What do they look like? Even if you've got a picture, a bit of writing would be nice. Include their usual attire, any notable scarring or markings, etc.)
 
   Personality:(A brief outline of their demeanour.)
 
    
  Skills: (Combat abilities or otherwise.)
 
   Weaknesses: (Achilles' Heels that can be exploited by enemies.)
 
  
  Brief History: (Any notable events in their background that might have shaped them. If you don't want to reveal too much, that's fine.)
 
Other:(Anything else you think everyone needs to know about your character.) [/hider]


[hider= Rules]
-Usual RP rules apply.

- Please post you character in the OOC to get looked at. I'll try and check them and approve them as fast as possible. 

-If you want to introduce another story element or sub-plot, please run it by me in OOC before you do. Helps me plan.

- I'm deliberately not restricting abilities, but try to keep them within reason. It's no fun if you've got an instant win on your hands. [/hider]
