[h1][i]A Brief Overview[/i][/h1]
[hr][hr]
This roleplay takes place on an alternate, futuristic, darker, and more dystopian version of Earth in the year 2026. It will follow the lives of several Devo's, short for Deviants, from around the world and their struggles to fight back against the corrupt system that has enslaved them, be it through word or violence. 

But beware, for not all is as it seems.

Deep within the shadows, a powerful force is pulling the strings of the world, slowly guiding it towards a future of its own design...

[h1][i]Rules[/i][/h1]
[hr][hr]
-Abide by Guild rules.

-As GM, my word is law. I will try to be as fair as possible though, so there shouldn't be any problems.

-This roleplay is +18, and will contain violence, death, and other mature themes. Do not join if these offend you.

-I shouldn't have to say this, but be civil to one another in the OOC. If you have an issue with a fellow player, take it to a PM with myself included, that way we can settle it.

-No Omni or Almighty power's allowed. Pretty much everything else is okay. If you're unsure about whether or not a power you've chosen is allowed however, ask me and I'll let you know.

-While I prefer you write a paragraph or more, I will gladly accept less if it adds something to the current scene. As for grammar and spelling, please do your best to minimize mistakes as they really break the flow of a post.

-Please put some drawbacks or weaknesses for your power's in your CS, along with what happens to the characters powers when they are chipped Vs. unchipped.

[h1][i]The Origins of Power's[/i][/h1]
[hr][hr]
Power's, as far as researchers can ascertain, originate from a mutated gene within one's body known as D3-V0, or the Devo gene, from which we get the term Deviants. From studies conducted on the gene, it seems as though it was created as a dormant defense mechanism by the bodies of several non powered individuals in the distant past that was then passed onto their offspring in order to aid in their long term survival. 

This means there's a good chance that most, if not all of the world's population today carries a dormant, or "dead", version of the gene which, as far as researchers can tell, has a completely random activation trigger that is unaffected by almost all man made forms of stimuli. This means that while one's parents may not have powers, they might still have the dormant gene itself, which then manifests in their children. This also means that anyone with the gene, at any point in life, could develop power's.

As for why most of the non powered world is not more sympathetic or compassionate towards Deviants, despite having the gene themselves, is mainly due to a mass fear and paranoia of what Devo's are capable of doing with their powers, a good example of this being the events of the Black Sabbath, and the common misconception that one actually has to display a power or unnatural ability of some sort in order to be considered a Deviant.

It is still unknown as to how powers themselves vary from person to person within a specific bloodline, i.e. why one person could have Chronokenisis and their child Telepathy, or why they do so in the first place, though modern geneticists believe they can find the answers to both of these questions in time.

[hider=The Peacekeepers]
[center][color=gold][h1][i]THE PEACEKEEPERS[/i][/h1][/color]

The Peacekeepers are a UN sanctioned military task force operating out of New York, that is dedicated to protecting non-devo's from all power related threats. Despite having the name "Peacekeepers" and seemingly altruistic goals, the group tends to rely on quite heavily on violent and brutal methods when dealing with Deviants, despite their reputation as protectors.

As for their technology, the Peacekeepers have access to several advanced device's and weapons, such as the [url=https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/007/522/366/large/stefan-celic-artstation-1.jpg?1506702434]MK-V Exosuits[/url] which are equipped with built in med, communications, stim, and shield systems, the [url=https://www.renderhub.com/zerotolorance/energy-rifle/energy-rifle-03.jpg]H.E.L.I.O.S Plasma Cannon[/url] which is capable of melting through five feet of solid Titanium, the X-19 Sentinel Drones of course, the heavy duty [url=https://wallup.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/128043-digital_art-futuristic.jpg]MJOLNIR Personnel Carriers[/url], and the intimidating-and highly resilient-[url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/36/79/0f/36790fff5942259fa18a5601a2fae29e.jpg]R3-V3N4N1 Drones[/url], which can accurately assess and eliminate a target from up to twenty meters away in the span of about ten seconds. They also have [url=https://slm-assets2.secondlife.com/assets/13685920/view_large/img1.jpg?1458515695]G.A.D.S[/url], Gene and DNA Scanners, which allow them to detect the presence of the D3-V0 gene within people. Since this device does require an actual form of physical DNA or genetic material from a person and since the process of analyzing said material can take upwards of five minutes to complete, G.A.D.S have mainly been relegated for use at Peacekeeper checkpoints within the cities or Compounds where task force personnel have the time required to wait for the results.

Rumor has it though, that the Peacekeepers have begun work on a faster prototype for troops out in the field, one that uses full body scanning at the cellular level, thus eliminating the need for actual DNA/genetic material. But, that's just a rumor.

As for their main base of operations, since they have smaller bases and safehouses in various locations across the globe, it is the [url=https://bw-1651cf0d2f737d7adeab84d339dbabd3-gallery.s3.amazonaws.com/images/image_2685658/03c3f1f55acf219fbe68423119ad4a3d_large.jpg]Onyx Tower[/url], an imposing twenty plus story skyscraper in NYC located a few miles to the southwest of the main UN headquarters themselves.

[color=red][h1][i]THE DEVIANT RESISTANCE MOVEMENT[/i][/h1][/color]

The D.R.M is a resistance movement that operates out of hidden locations around the world. While its members are mostly Deviants, there are a few non-devo's who have joined them in their fight against Devo oppression and segregation. They do not have a strong central leadership, access to much advanced technology, and all of the connections that the Peacekeepers do however, which weakens them quite a bit in some area's.

Despite all of this however, they still manage to persevere through sheer tenacity and wit.

Deviants who join the group must not only swear an oath of unyielding allegiance and recieve a tattoo that marks them as a member, but also have to get the I.D. chips in their necks removed, which, depending on the situation and supplies on hand, can be a very excruciating and harrowing process. Once all is said in done however, you're a member.

For life.

[h1][i]The Story So Far[/i][/h1]
[hr][hr]
[hider=The Past][h1][i]The Past[/i][/h1]
[hr]
Saturday, January 12th, 2013 or the Black Sabbath, as some call it. 

It was on that day in Cleveland Tenesse that a peaceful Devo rights protest turned into a massacre that snuffed out the lives of thousands of non powered individuals. It was during that year, and the one's following, that the world turned against Deviants, believing them to be a threat that needed to be contained at all costs.

People from around the world with powers were rounded up and forced to have power dampening identification chips surgically implanted into their necks. They were then placed in special residential areas that are off limits to non-devo civilian personnel. Harsh curfews and rules were then instituted in each of these areas, known as Compounds, severely limiting the freedom one could enjoy for those living in such places.

More years pass and life slowly goes from bad to worse for Devo's...[/hider]

[hider=The Present][h1][i]The Present[/i][/h1]
[hr]
It is the year 2026. 

It has been years since the massacre of 12/13, but the tragedy and horror of the event is still burned into the minds of average citizens. Devo's are feared, segregated, and looked down on by the rest of society. They are forced to live in Peacekeeper monitored Compounds, which are generally repurposed slums, and are supplied with what the local government considers "adequate" living amenities. On the rare occasions Devo's are allowed to enter major cities, they are constantly watched by a squad of heavily armed Peacekeeper troopers and a pair of fully weaponized [url=https://artfiles.alphacoders.com/133/13337.jpg]X-19 Sentinel Drones[/url].

In stark contrast to this depressing existence, are the near perfect lives that people without powers lead in the pristine cities surrounding the Compounds. Those living in the cities have access to clean water, advanced medicinal, industrial, economic, scientific, and entertainment technology, as well as easy access to transportation and food. No one living in the major cities have to worry about where their next meal is going to come from. They don't have to fight over clean water or scraps of cloth to keep themselves warm during the winter month's. They don't have to walk everywhere or rely on rundown gas powered vehicles to get around.

Unlike Devo's.

Despite all of this however, there may still be a glimmer of hope for all of Deviant kind in the form of an underground resistance group calling themselves the D.R.M, Deviant Resistance Movement, a group of Devo's operating alongside those without powers in various locations all across the globe in order to create a better future for all mankind. One where a person is hated or loved based on their actions, not their genetic makeup.

Now that you know the story, only one question remains...

Will stand up and fight your fate?

Or give into it and die?[/hider]
