Technology in 2033 is sensible, there have been great improvements in certain aspects of technology itself, while most of it remains the stable same. Smarter smart phones, smart building designs, and assistant robots that transports goods to different office suites in sky rise buildings or deliver food on the street to hungry patrons, etc. Holographic assistances are smarter than they were in their primitive states back in the early 2000s, though nothing Skynet worthy. Computers are still dumb smart needing programmers to tell them what to do and not being able to derive from their programs or algorithms. And no this doesn't piss computers off.

Better facial recognition technology. Smart buildings that act like nervous systems, buildings alert to a security hub where damage or structural integrities may lie. They also report directly to emergency services once they detect a threat level or an emergency level.

The greatest big tech to come out of this time is the Remity machines. They were designed to be Therapy Machines. When Cognitive Behavioral Therapy doesn't work or can work. It works similar to hypnosis except that it directly attaches itself to the neural network of someone's brain and targets abnormalities. It's painless. Basically a more advanced form of Neurofeedback therapy.

Black market groups stole bits and pieces of the patent technology and made themselves illegal machines, that don't quite work as well, but were used as ways to disguise crime or criminal activity. Currently the Government is looking into ways of catching these gangs and Black Market individuals.

I know what you did. You thought you kept it well hidden. Well not from me. I know what you did, even if you don’t remember.


It is late January, snow had stuck to the frozen concrete blanketing the city in white. As little lights illuminated the dark distance with man made fire. Frosty breath of two individuals could be seen to rise towards a gray cloudy sky. The two men huddled together in a corner. The street cameras could not see their faces.

“These are them?”
“Yes,”


Whoever you are. Wherever you are. Your demons are calling. Your sins wish to be rectified. Did you think redemption would be easy, if no one knew in the first place? Did you think you could forget forever? How long would you sleep in this dream? Do you think you are happier now?

“And the funding?”
“You have full funding,” -screen glitches- “You’ll find the money has already been wired.”
“Thank you for your cooperation,”


He keeps his head low, wearing a fedora and a billowing trench coat. A manilla folder is stashed inside the warmth of his coat. Sheltering its contents. They are gone. All that is left is an empty parking lot and snow.

There’s a procedure the doctors can perform now. They can take away your memories and store in new ones. It’s been awarded as the newest and greatest invention used for therapy purposes. But there are illegal uses as well. Some have been used it to create themselves a new life.

Outside is fairly cold. Snow has buried the streets in snow. Inside is fairly just as cold. Probably funneling in the snow into the venting system. A laugh in a white walled building. Busy with people in white. A white society.

“Do you understand?” a man in a black trench coat ask in the lounge room with a vending machine.
“Sinners sins on a chess board,”
“I am going to take that as a yes,”




“So this is them,”

“Seems like it,”

“What made them think they could get away with it?”

“They would have, if we didn’t exist”


Sins Committee Bureau was bustling with activity. People moved quickly from desk to desk. While they sat in a cramp room staring at monitors. Couldn’t tell a bunch of people they erased their memories. They needed to remember on their own. Watching from cameras placed deliberately in the city they called Mirage City.

Couldn’t believe the government would fund a fake city to put these people in there. But they wanted to catch these bastards misusing Remity machines. Only problem was someone with false implemented memories could deny their true reality for as long as they didn’t remember. Lie detection software didn’t work when their memories didn’t exist.

“You don’t think they’ll kill each other?”

“Well it be less people to detain, but more paperwork,”

“Don’t worry, we’ve chosen them to test the system, if there are a few bumps in the road, well, we’ll fix it for next time,”

I don’t like being a stickler, I don’t often like addressing rules, but I am writing a few;

First off I am going to go off of what I go off of to Accept or Deny a character, I think of the three Cs. Clarity, Comprehension, and a Concrete idea. Of course our characters will develop and evolve, but you need a clear Concrete idea in order for that to happen. It makes life easier for you and me. Because this will be such a heavy character piece, you need that solid initial idea. Beyond that I look for;
Creativity

Interesting Character or an Interesting Narrative they bring

I also look for people who are open minded and understand a character may go over an edit or two if I do not find the sheet follows the above. It’s not a slight against you or the character, I want you both, so let’s work together to make that happen.

Sheets are rarely denied, unless you prove to yourself you are unworkable, not open minded to new ideas or criticism. Or show a lack of respect.

Which goes into my last points;
Be respectful
Be kind
Be helpful

Be Communicative and this is a big must. I don’t have posting rules, I do not say you need to post in X amount of time. I ask for a post once a week, but if you cannot do that I am reasonable. As long as you Communicate. You will be given 2 warnings before your character is Off’d. There is no GM character death in this RP, but if I must write it in a story it will be, because someone didn’t Communicate and hasn’t posted in say A month or Two from their initial post.
If you cannot Communicate with your fellow members or the GM, then don’t join this RP. I expect Communication. Especially if you know things like, “I have a busy work schedule and don’t know what my work schedule will be week by week” Thank you that’s all I need to know, “I will be out of town for a few days”. I understand Emergencies and as long as you get back to me as soon as you can after the Emergency has happened and tell me, then we will be fine.

If you have read, and understand these expectations Please write on your sheet; I Accept these Terms.

Player Death; Player Death will not be enacted by the GM. Instead it will be enacted by your fellow players in a sort of PVP scenario. And will only be implemented if both members agree to the death of said character. Your enemies or your allies are each other.

I am more excited for this than I should be.
