{Starting…}
{Initiate: Prolouge.exe}
You awake from your deep slumber. Your eyes don’t comply at first, refusing to open, but you manage to wrench them open, using what seems like all of your strength. Your neck muscles are stiff, but you manage to look about anyway, finding yourself in a clear plexi-glass tube with wires attached all over your body. Outside the cool glass, you find yourself in a small room, the walls painted white, floors painted gray, and ceiling painted like the sky, blue with little white tuffets representing clouds.
“Hello?” you try to say, but it comes out like an elephant’s dying cries, your vocal cords haven’t been used for a long time… ‘What happened’ you must ask yourself; ‘Why am I here? What is happening?’ At first, all that comes is a little sliver of a memory; and then you recall more and more, the creek of memories flowing into a river…

The sky is a swirl of reddish orange, with dabs of gray as the evening begins it’s usual shift to night. A pleasant warm breeze brushes against you, warming your skin in the chilly dusk air. You had just came back from the typical work-day at the factories, and you look about you, and sigh, sometimes stopping to read the depressing posters plastered to the wall, declaring things like: ‘LIFE ISN’T FAIR; DEAL WITH IT.’ And ‘GET BACK TO WORK.’
It all happened in a few moments after that, what seemed like a lonely walk down the sidewalk turned into a firefight as rebel soldiers open fire on a passing military police vehicle. The rebels manage to shoot several of the soldiers who act like police before they return fire… and catch you in the crossfire. You duck behind a garbage bin, thankful for it’s existence…
Until a massive explosion as a grenade, thrown by a rebel, destroys the vehicle, and all the explosives on it. The explosion rams you into the brick wall of the building the rebels are shooting down from, and everything suddenly goes black…

The sky is a swirl of reddish orange, with dabs of gray as the evening begins it’s usual shift to night. A pleasant warm breeze slams against you as you high tail it back to your base, carting a sack of cash stolen from the First Apex Bank, and being chased by four civilian policemen. Letting out a evil laugh as you run, you dart down a nearby alleyway, zipping past obstacles and dodging bullets. If you manage to pull this off, you get rich. You don’t… well, let’s not think about that. You come out onto the sidewalk again, and sprint to the right…
It all happened in a few moments after that, what seemed like a hurried dash down the sidewalk turned into a firefight as military policeman begin opening fire on you, as you run through a roadblock, set up for who knows who…or what. You return fire with your illegal machine gun, and hurtle the barricades, taking off down the street again, bullets kicking up dust behind you. ‘Hah, good thing they are horrible shots!’ you think, looking behind you.
Until a speeding car slams into you, sending you up in the air, and slamming you back down on the ground like some monster is playing basketball with you. You face plant on the cold asphalt, and everything goes black…
{Loading: History.exe}
After the destruction of Scientia and the supercomputer ASTRAL, a rouge supercomputer called Technical Reason, or TREASON unleashed a virus to all of the world’s major supercomputers through a company called ‘Apex’, that manufactured most of the world’s products. (Meaning everything from pencils to missiles to televisions.)
Once the computers were infected, millions of robots fell under TREASON’s control. They easily defeated the armies of multiple countries, using their own technology against them, and soon the world fell under TREASON’s power. She then began a total reconstruction of daily life, and soon everyone slavered away in sprawling factories, making cheap rations and more robots to enforce her rule…
But as with every total domination; there are always rebels, a glimmer of hope in the civilian eye, people who will one day free them from their eternal work... A dream so easily crushed by the unrelenting iron fist of the Civil Police, the fanatic soldiers that occupy every city under TREASON’s rule, and harshly enforce the specific laws engineered by Apex itself, that now not only serves as the manufacturer of Mechanis’ weapons, but also as TREASON’s network of advisors, officials, and politicians… not that the latter are needed as much.

{Overall}
This RP will be handled like a free-roam RP, with one long-term set of goals (The main quest.) and then the shorter-term goals. {Side quests.) The long-term goals are mandatory, but the short-term goals are entirely optional. Completing said side quests can have their benefits, but can also have negative consequences, so be careful on how you chose them.
{Health}
Health represents how much damage you have sustained, either by being attacked, or by falling from considerable heights. You automatically start with 10/10 Life Points, or LP, and will lose some if damaged. The health will go as following…
10/10 – Unscathed
9-8/10 – Minor Damage
7-6/10 – Light Damage
5-4/ - Moderate Damage
4-3/ Heavy Damage
2-1/ Near Death
While these numbers may seem frightening, LP being taken away is usually difficult, but is possible. Gaining health can be accomplished in many ways, such as:
Going to a hospital,
Using a medical kit, (Only if experienced)
Having a medic patch you up,
And more.
Your health will be reported out every day, as well as during battles.
More health cannot be gained, but layers of armor can be applied, and you can {DATA_FILE_ERROR_NUMBER_453}.
{Food and Water}
Food and water are needed to survive in this RP, and unless you are somehow used to being dehydrated, or starved, then you will need food and water. If neither are gotten in a certain period of time, you will begin to feel the effects, and will eventually die. Please note that rations will be provided to you, but just enough to keep you alive; and only if you stay on the good side of the law. Extra rations can be obtained by doing the following:
Stealing,
Buying them from shops,
Earning them,
Finding them, or
Getting on the good side of the law.
At the end of each day, your vitals will be reported out, like so.
[NAME HERE]
?/10 LP
Hunger: N/A
Thirst: N/A
{Battle}
Battle isn’t any different from regular RP skirmish, you RP what you do, and then I respond with what the enemy does and so on; only I tell you how much damage you take from a hit, and where. (Arm, leg, head, ect.)
