The year is 2120. Homes have taken up all
of nature. Soon, there won't be any earth left to expand. The world government,
formed in 2065, decided that something must been done about this population
problem. They decided to create a new system of controlled reproduction.
At every birth, the new born is given a heart necklace on a chain. They are to
start wearing this chain at age 13. This chain is technologically connected to
another chain that has been given to another new born baby. In life, when the
two chains get within 20 feet of each other, they emit a small light and a
warmth against the holder's skin.
However, the government thought, Why
should every child get this honor? We don't want beggars and the poor to
populate our earth.
And so, only children born to
families considered upper-middle class and higher are allowed to gain thesenecklaces. Anyone
performing sexual relations or even dating without a Chained heart will be
punished severely. This way the government can start weeding out the
poor-er population without unnecessary murder.
40 years have gone by after this law has been passed.
Rebellion from the lower population has started to rise up and try to fight
against their human right to fall in love. Thousands of Rebel fighters have
died against the brutal police force of the government. The main rebellion is
happening in the capital of the world, Metropolis, where "The
Chained" live in peace and "The Bare necks" live in the slums.
Will you be a part of the "The Chained", helping
the government or helping "The Bare Necks"? Or will you be one of the
unlucky few to be without a Necklace and try to take down the government and
their laws!
Rules

Violence is welcome. Deaths must be spoken to with me and the character that is going to die.
I'd like Illustrated images please - Nothing to generic, though, thanks.
Feel free to add your own plot twists. This is a mix of fighting and political wars - Skeezy bastards are bound to be everywhere.

Disrespect of the Owner or any other Player

I'm fairly easy to talk to. So don't be afraid to PM with questions or anything of the like.
Feel free to plot with other players or myself.
If I think of anything else, I'll add it here.
Background
Notes on The Society:
This takes place in a city known as Capital City. It's a mix, mostly made up of slum neighborhoods, shopping districts, and the "Noble" society. All of it surrounds one large building where the World Government resides. The entire era of this is a mix of Victorian culture (Noble - Middle - Lower class society to the extreme) and Futuristic technology and Fashion. (I imagine it sort of like a Starwars/Star trek mix.)
The World Government is basically a world council made up of two reps from every country. Those representatives rule as President/Vice President to their country while helping rule the rest of the world as well.
The Police force has basically mixed with the Military. They are often extremely prejudice against the Lower-middle class and Slum dwellers. Streets in those districts are never very safe when the force is around.
However, I'm leaving this fairly open to how the world is. These are just a few basics so no one gets confused.
(And remember, I'm open to questions.)
Characters
The lucky few who were gifted with a necklace of future love. These people live in the higher societies of the city, from Upper-Middle class to the filthy Rich. Most slum dwellers consider them pompous and unworthy of their gift. They wear their chains with pride and follow the word of the Government like a dog to their owner. They're clever in politics and know how to keep their sins under their feet. They are the most safe in their neighborhoods and find favor in the Police force and Government.
They wear only the most fashionable clothes and keep their families close.
However, some Chained citizens know that the government should not be forcing these laws on people and work as spies for the rebellion.
The citizens of the Slums. These range from Lower-Middle class to the homeless. Some are weak in spirit and down on their luck, others fight through with anger and strength. Most are simply trying to get by and find love without the government catching them. Strong in their numbers and the leaders who induce the fire of the past, the Rebelions of the Bare Neck society are a force to be reckon with.
They are patient and silent and will rise up when they're ready. Unlike those of the Chained society, they aren't afraid to get a little dirty.
Personality Description: (What are you like? At least two paragraphs.)
Likes/Dislikes: (These can be listed or however you want to do them.)
Equipment/Abilities:
Weapons: (Mostly for the Rebelion, unless your character is in the police force, per-chance. Also, let's keep this fairly simply. Nothing over the top or crazy, general weapons. Guns, knives, Explosives are okay, Since it's futureristic if you have any weaponry ideas, get it approved by me, Swords I will allow... hesitantly.
Skills: (What can you do, includes intelligence as well.)
