[@Jinxlynx] [@caliban22] [@Inkarnate] [@Aristo] [@Skwint] [@knifeman] [@burningdaisies] Here is an intro. Let me know if any of you are interested and I'll flesh this out more and make a start obviously. Don't really care if this is on earth or if this is a new world altogether. Whatever makes people happier. But I think it'd be nice to formulate our own world. This is somewhat inspired by the hunger games. Not a huge die hard fan of the series but the concept is interesting. [b]INTRO[/b] Virtual reality dictates daily life in Santonia. An urban futuristic city with an affluent core where the wealthy and elite live in the central business district. A crying divide between the well-heeled anthromorphic beings whose expenses drip like milk and honey through their fingers without a care in the world, and the poverty struck who do what they can to make ends meet. If underpaid jobs on the clock were not enough to cover rent or bring food on the table, the urchins could expect to be found stealing, committing crimes. Or, gambling on the black markets. The latter and lesser division would be found more towards the periphery of Santonia. The contrasting 3rd world environments scattered across numerous townships. Otherwise known as the ‘Shrapnel’. Anthromorphic beings would often fight, either one on one or in gangs. Illegal street games of risk, matches between players outside of the government sanctioned tournaments as major underground sources of income. When the rich start watching the brawls broadcasted from their television settings, the results are compelling. Bookeeping and bidding amongst the citydwellers brings in a whole new mainstream entertainment. Although the virtual reality battles do not harm the players in anyway, the losing party find themselves sapped of their virtual currency and hard-earned gear. A time did exist such that society was found to be more balanced and less totalitarian. Some speculate that before democratic voting was abolished since the last political administration was elected, that government was silently trying to push towards New World Order. Rumours concurring and begging the question as to why no aid is being leant to stop these inhumane games.
