No worries! It's been a busy time for everyone with school starting back up and what not.

I'm just drawing blanks on any character idea and it's annoying the heck out of me.

Can someone post an example of an ID chip?

Obviously I’m not the GM here, but if I were a dystopian corporate dictator or their chief of identity services, I would have the wrist tattoo ID tag be a QR code with additional details like name and date of birth printed in plain text next to it so that it can both be scanned for a full profile and the basic details be taken down in a hurry when there isn’t a scanning tool on hand or there isn’t time to get it out and use it. Barcodes are a trope that is often used but I dunno if a tattoo in human skin could get the resolution needed to reliably define the fine bars for scanning. A QR code is composed of blocks, and so doesn’t need the same level of resolution. I also wouldn’t simply use a string of numbers like the Nazis did, because this isn’t a setting where the ID tag is on a person completely under your power - in this setting, people live on the fringes and are likely to resist if they see fit, rather than all of them being contained in a concentration camp. Numbers don’t give you the same info in the same timeframe, you need more. These tattoos will also need to be touched up over the lives of the subjects being monitored - and for monitoring purposes I’d also have an RFID tag implanted underneath the QR code which could report tampering, and potentially permit tracking. Only issue there is that RFID tags respond rather than broadcast, but that just means they don’t need power. They could also be used to unlock doors and cars and stuff so that they have utility and people don’t overthink their purpose.

Most of MARCO's people and/or residents have implanted chips, I suppose somewhere in the head like you would think it would be in a movie, or they wear a physical bracelet. The only other thing is that there's some people who escape being coded.

The big issue with implanting anything in the head is that that's basically brain surgery, which requires specialised staff and is risky to do. In the wrist (or somewhere around there, in the lower bit of your arm) is not only a lot less risky, but also requires less specialised training and therefore is several orders of magnitude easier to do on large scale. People avoiding ID printing is an issue at any point of course since in this kinda setting births will still occur outwith of hospitals, but most folks will have a run in with the law or with some sort of 'social service' at some point in a dystopia so they can just get tagged then if they haven't been otherwise - a little bit like how Han Solo only gained the surname Solo when he registered with the Imperial Flight Academy or whatever; until that point he'd only been Han and hadn't legally existed, past that point he was a mark in a book in the Imperial records office even if he didn't get tattooed and chipped. With a wrist chip a police medic could probably get the training to stick one in, using local anaesthetic (if any).

Hello! I would like to join this Roleplay, but before I do, I have some questions: 1: does my character need to be human? 2: can my character start out-side of the city? 3: Can my character be the "enemy" of the city?

I will try my best to stick with the rules and exceptions of this Roleplay and create a character that fits the story line. Thanks!

Still a work in progress I'm afraid. Rest assured however that I'm definitely still interested and invested, I'm just... trying to take sleep whenever I can find it. Which isn't terribly often. Sorry again folks.

A mutated beast. I want to play as the enemy or foe. I will play as the leader of a clan of monsters who like to eat humans.

Hello friends, regarding the ID - I was thinking more along the lines of an implant underneath the skin, the "tattoo" of sorts is just an indication of where your implant might be. I thought that maybe depending on where and when you received your implant it may be on your left or right wrist- (which may or may not be a plot factor later teehee) A quick numbing of the area and an insertions tool would be all it takes, than a branding of sorts. To get through certain sectors or to receive your government hand outs you will need to have this ID. That is why some of the people have been harvesting limbs (assets and identities are attached to them) that way in some businesses around Korven will accept these type of brash payments.

@Bazmund
Character looks great so far! We are still very early, so no worries yet :)

@Nate1008
Hello and thanks for the interest in my roleplay! Your character would have to be human, yes- the most unhuman I am willing to go is someone who has robotic parts added to them. Your character can not start outside the city- because as far as every character knows the outside world is dead. Your character can definitely be an enemy of the city, but with in those guidelines. A human can be just as if not more heartless than a beast any day.

Another update to the character sheet above, it's nearly done now. My family are going out and I have to join them is all that's stopping me finishing it at the moment.

Feel free to send him over when you're done, your updates have been looking good and unless you throw a total curve ball in there it is good to go.

@MissCapnCrunchCould a chip be spoofed? Like, hacked to either show false data or maybe even stolen from someone and implanted into someone else?

Charsheet is up, made an edit to it to add a theme song since I had one I thought fit. I'll make an IC post in a wee bit if all is well with the sheet. Happy to be joining in lads.

@role model

Hey there, to create a tag- at the bottom of the post there is a "mention" or a "quote" button, and that will either mention just the username or quote the entire text they have posted. I hope that helps! :) Oops for posting your question in the Character section- I would prefer to have a digital portrait.

As far as your character goes, he looks great! However, for your brand placement tattoo it is required for it to be either on your left or right wrist. Also, because of the timeline your character would have to be way older to have been driving in to find it. At 40 you would have most likely been there your whole life. So depending on how you want to go about that- that will be changed. Besides those two things, he's looking good!
