[The History]
In 2189, the world finally achieved peace. A world-wide treaty was signed, ceasing all wars and conflicts. Of course, there was a price. To have the world cooperate with eachother, all traces of difference had to be elliminated. Suddenly any music that did not promote a feeling of ease and peace was illegal. Art was the same.
Writing, stories, music, art, movies, speach, songs....strict limitations were placed on everything. Classical music was about the only thing left. Generic pop love songs were the only things playing on the radio. The people of the world were skeptical, but their leaders convinced them the sacrifice was needed.
[And Today...]
It began as a series of taggings. Signs on the walls of the automated office buildings and the virtual world buildings. They said various things, always reminding people about what they'd given up. And they were always signed 'the Doctor'.
The signs were always cleaned away almost as soon as they were seen, but the message began to leak out, especially amoung the youth of the world who had grown up in the colorless world. Sometimes the messages would appear not on a wall, but in one of the online wolrds.
However people heard, the 'Revolution' as it was called slowly gained support headed by 'the Doctor'. The Revolution dealt in trying to spread the idea that peace could be achieved without loosing so much else. They would play pranks, harmless stunts such as blasting banned music in public areas or scrawl pictures on walls.
After a while, a more radical group emerged that called themselves the 'New Generation'. Their tactics were more sophisticated, infiltrating their members into government possitions and obtaining blackmail ability on high public officials, preparing for their own method of bringing back individuality.

[How the World Works]
Technology
Tehnology has progressed. Small power lazers have replaced most handguns. Individual cars are very rare as there are few streets wide enough to use them in the city. Buildings are almost completely automated. Just assume things have advaced.
One of the most popular past times are the virtual worlds. Slip on a headset and you're instantly emerged in an online simulated world. You create an image for yourself, usually using one of your pictures, and you can explore a simulation of anywhere, anytime. People can make their virtual rooms 'open', meaning others can access the same room and join them.
There is debate about he virtual worlds becoming addictive, but they are so popular, they probably won't be banned anytime soon.
Robots
Artifical inteligence has been developed, but has not widely spred yet and the first series of humanoid robots have begun to emerge. Most have 'masters' who are sometimes called 'parents'. They take care of the robots and help them adjust to society. The only requirement is being over 16 and be approved by the government (no history of rebellion).
City Laws
1. Curfew- all humans and robots may not be on the street after 10pm due to recent vandalism.
2. No Music outside of the 'classics' genre
3. Poetry must be approved with a permit
4. Songs may not invoke heavy emotion
5. Sound Level Ordinance remains enforced
(complete list of banned activities located in city hall)

New Generation: Members are usually adults or at least older teens. They concentrate on infiltrating the government and blackmailing officials to advance their control in hopes of bringing back the old way of life. These are more ruthless. Lead by Ian.

[Accepted Characters] Gaian Name: Star Thief
Name: Layla Cannon
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Human/Robot: Human
Personality: Layla the kind of kid you might have found long ago outside the principal's office for mouthing off to a teacher. She's stuborn and once she has her head set on somthing it's hard to disuade her otherwise. She sees the rules more as guidelines than actual rules. Her one pet peeve? A stupid person in authority over her. She sees it as time to change the world.
History: Layla grew up with parents who had been rebelious as teenagers but at settled into the quiet life as they grew up and raised a family. She was the youngest child with five brothers, managing to be both babied and 'one of the boys' at the same time. She watched her parents though, watched how they bit their lips as they tried to explain to her artistic brother why he couldn't have paints. Watched as they struggled through jobs that were barely tolerable while neglecting talents in other areas. Her mother could tell bedtime stories that rivaled the Grimms of ancient times, but she no longer told them after layl got in troubel at school for discussing too much fantasy. Her school record was littered with little things like that, innocent things that all pointed in the same troubling direction.
A doctor fixed what was better but you couldn't see the doctor's face because he wore a mask to avoid catching germs. That simple idea was what had inspired her name 'the Doctor'. Safe behind a mask, but fixing things. Slowly things spread, first in gaining recognition with the name on walls and later on the web.
More people joined and other names came into play. She watched, never completely sure she was right, but always convinced the risk was worth it.

Windsor took a vow that day he would rather die doing something like his father did than live in this horrible new world. His mother was a prostitute, soon left his father after Windsor's birth.

Personality: Well-spoken, punctual, obedient, overly-trusting. As requested by the VONS corporation she was artificially implanted with memories taken from a human being, who was later liquidated in secrecy away from the government.
History: Naomi was built when robots and artificial intelligences were first becoming popular. She was promptly bought off the assembly line by the ever-lasting VONS as one of the first in their campaign to acquire an entire working force that did as it was told and did not complain. She has only been working in one of their stores for a week, carrying groceries for customers, helping in the finding of reclusive items and bagging (she is not yet allowed to work at the cash register).
She believes herself to be human, adopted by her boss after a car accident that killed her real parents and put to work every day to prove she is a working class citizen who dreams of taking an office within the government (something that she will never achieve, for the store manager scrubs her remembrance of his encouraging words so that she is motivated continuously). Since no other robots have been added to the store's work force, she is an outcast among the other employees without knowing why.

His one fault is the way in which he regards everyone else; as being lesser than him. This is made complicated by the fact he is somewhat superior to everyone else, in terms of intelligence at least. But his social skills leaves a lot to be desired.
History: At the age of ten when he was walking back from his school he was accosed by muggers. After beating him up and stealing everything he had, they cut his throat and it was only due to lucky circumstances that he was found an taken to a hospital. He has been a mute since then. His parents comissioned a cat robot the size of a housecat, which communicates with nanites in his mind and speaks for him.

{My character can join anything the way I've set her up. She can be obedient and trusting and join the government, or have the wool lifted from her eyes and join either the New Generation or the Revolution...
Let's cut the OOC chit-chat and take it somewhere else. Why doesn't someone make an OOC forum in the Lounge (or whatever it's called)? We can wait until Star's on to accept us and then start RPing.}
