"Look into the natural heart, Following the beat of the chemical This isn’t human anymore Tearing the connections apart Crawling at the feet of our pedestals Are you still human at the core? "
PLOT:
In the distant future, the world is divided. The Humans, who prefer to keep their flesh and natural parts, and the Digitals, former humans who decided to improve themselves with a wide array of cybernetic enhancements. Unfortunately, only a few years after cybernetic augmentation become a global practice, the Humans decided the Digitals were a threat to society. The world practically tore itself apart, causing Digitals to be treated like a lesser species. It only got worse from there, as Humans denied the Digitals access to their cities, their services, and soon after, their rights. This lead to many riots that ravaged for years. The Digitals eventually were forced to live in "Cybercamps"; low-class cities filled with cybernetically enhanced people and surrounded by high walls. Human guards make sure the Digitals stay in line. Many are denied basic needs, and many more are killed by guards in claimed "self defense." You are in "Crimson-9B", a Cybercamp located somewhere in North America, either forced to live there as a civilian or a Human guard making sure the others don't revolt. But hopefully you have a soft spot for the mistreated.
FACTIONS:
Civilian: The civilians are Digitals who live in the Cybercamp. Many of them are treated poorly, and live in terrible homes. They are beaten by guards most of the time, when they aren't being forced to work.
The Havoc Response Team [HRT]:
The Havoc Response Team is the authority in Crimson-9B. They make sure Digitals don't do anything stupid, and punish them if they do, either by throwing them in prison, placing them under house arrest, or just simply beating them until their faces are bruised and their prosthetics are sparking. Only humans can be a member of the HRT. Some members even have powerful mechanical suits for riot control.
The Order of the Sparks:
The Order of the Sparks are a group of Digitals who worship electronics. They believe Humans are a plague on this world, and that they should all either be destroyed or forcefully "upgraded". Though they do not directly attack humans, they have special agents that sabotage HRT operations and security systems. Their ultimate goal is to make Digitals the only species on Earth.
RULES:
1. Do not be overpowered. So no things like "permanent everything shielding" or stuff like that. 2. Be respectful to others. 3. Do not kill other characters without permission from who RPs them. 4. Rules might change without warning. 5. Follow the forum rules.

Joining Form:
Username: Character Name: Appearance: Personality: Species[Human/Digital]: Implants[If Digital]: Faction: Other:
Characters:
Username: Sour Candy Character Name: Alex Appearance: Alex is a male 17-year-old, with dark black hair. He has bright yellow cybernetic eyes, and commonly wears a torn black trench coat and worn-out jeans with black shoes. Personality: Can seem cold at first, but gets friendlier as he gets closer to someone. He tries to hide his emotions most of the time, giving off that "emotionless machine" type of vibe. Species[Human/Digital]: Digital Implants: All four of his limbs have been replaced with cybernetic prosthetics, made from a durable metal alloy. His right arm has a grappling hook function, but use of such implants is against the law in Cybercamps due to the possibility of escape attempts. His right arm also has illegal implants such as a "Smart Taser" and "Remote DDOS". Both eyes have been replaced with cybernetic ones, with zoom capabilities and a HUD. He has a few brain implants that make him a little more intelligent. Faction: Civilian Other:
Username: Sour Candy Character Name: Antonov Ironhand Appearance: Antonov is a buff man, normally only seen in black pants and boots. He doesn't commonly wear a shirt due to the heat in the Metalworks district. His most distinct feature is a large exoskeleton arm draped over his left arm, capable of punching through concrete. He has black hair and and short beard. His face and torso appear covered in scars, one of them being over his chocolate brown eyes. Personality: Antonov is a ruthless man, who would sooner throw a Digital across the work space rather than yell at them to get back to work. He has no respect for the cybernetically enhanced, claiming that they are scum of the planet. Species: Human Faction: Metalworks Other: There is a rumor spreading around that his exo-arm is not properly hack protected...
Username: Rivermagic
Character Name: Rei
Appearance: Rei is 18 years old, and stands at about five feet and three inches, with a slim and petite figure. They have short, messy, black hair and ice-blue, likely cybernetic, eyes. Their fair skin is grafted to give an unnatural paleness to it when the light hits against it. This causes Rei to tend to wear cowls over their head, a scarf to cover the lower face, gloves, and loose and baggy clothing to hide the limb enhancements.
Personality: Rei is a gentle soul who is very passive and tries to take the path of least resistance. This tends to have people walk all over them since most of the time, this certain path leads to have them think they need to appease everyone before making an actual decision. Rei is shy, submissive, and has a high patience tolerance. Of course, there is only so much abuse one can be able to handle.
Species[Human/Digital]: Digital
Implants[If Digital]: Rei had been a burn victim, which lead to the need of getting their four limbs replaced, plus get grafted skin to repair the damage and make everything appear "normal", and additionally resistant to heat. At request, Rei received enhancements for vision, which resulted in having an unnatural eye-color. The legs have storage for general small, hand-held weapons. The right arm has illegal computer tech that can give potential to hacking interfaces and tech, depending on the difficulty. As a result of the fire, Rei's brain has been wired with tech to pacify and calm the mind as a form of prolonged therapy, plus there are some slight intelligence enhancements in the brain as well.
Faction: Civilian

"Broken bodies line the walls, Midas empires crash and fall, Wings that melt when we try to soar..."
LOCATIONS:
Downtown:
The primary living area of Digitals. Buildings are poorly built and are often very cluttered. Downtown also includes shops, such as food, water, supplies, basic repairs, etc.
Metalworks:
Most Digitals work here. The district is identified by the giant vat of molten steel in the center. Rickety scaffolding surrounds the vat and shacks on the outskirts are filled with Digitals working on the metal and turning it into goods for humans, such as armor plating, aircraft hulls, and other products.
Boss: Antonov Ironhand
The Airfield:
The Airfield is where Humans and Digitals are brought in or out of the Cybercamp via large hovercraft (not the water ones, the futuristic airborne ones). The Airfield is heavily guarded and is located higher above than the rest of the districts, near the wall.
The HRT District:
This is where officers of the HRT live. It is absolute luxury compared to downtown, with tall buildings with actual furniture/food/water, and it is where the prison area is located. No Digitals are allowed, so be careful if you feel adventurous!
Captain: Captain Masen
The Cathedrals of the CPU:
Accessed via manhole covers in Downtown, The Cathedrals of the CPU is where the Order of the Sparks conduct their worship. The narrow hallways are filled with strange machines and devices, and it only gets weirder as you travel deeper to the main chamber, where the "Great Uplink" is used by the holiest of members.
Leader: Patriarch Dynamo

"Pushing the reflex, Pressure the defects, Breaking down is inevitable. Spraining the rivets, Straining the limits, Breaking down is inevitable."
CURRENCY:
The currency in Cybercamps is in a form known as a "Fundcard", a small plastic card that can be "charged" with a number of credits. To gain more credits, you can sell items that you have acquired to certain merchants and they can charge your card. (More info on this may be given later)
ITEMS:
Repair Kit:
These small black boxes are commonly used to perform small scale repairs on damaged non-vital cybernetics, such as prosthetics and external implants. The cover on the front flips open, and contain small tools such as small screwdrivers, a welder, a soldering iron, and others to fix up Digitals. Unfortunately, the batteries cannot be charged, so once the iron and welder are out of juice, you need to get a new one.
Rarity: Common
Gate-Crasher:
Gate-Crashers are an illegal device that is commonly only found at black market merchants. They can be used to hack any electronic device, good for a one time use before it fries itself. They are very rare and if you are lucky enough to get your hands on one, you should keep it somewhere safe.
Rarity: Rare
Shock Baton:
Shock Batons are wielded by HRT officers, used so beat Digitals into submission. They're crafted from steel, and with copper wire wrapped around the end connected to a battery inside the weapon, they hold a shocking surprise for any Digital that steps out of line.
Rarity: Common(ish)

Alex leaned against a wall, watching as his fellow digitals passed by. He observed as some shopped, some get beat by the HRT, and some just walked by, keeping their heads down. He had been in this place for about a year now, and it's an absolute hellhole. He daydreamed of escaping this horrible place, to begin a new life living in a quiet cabin up in the mountains.

Rei walked by and fiddled with the scarf covering the lower part of their face before pausing in work. Sure, carrying metals was important, but it was curious to see someone just minding their own business here. Soon enough, a human shoved Rei over, and a loud clank ran out when their metal limbs hit the pavement. They managed to wipe their nose before scampering to the wall where some of the market booths were. If anything, Rei wished that there was a way to disappear from this place.

Lexis was in a dark alley leaning on a wall, sharpening something with a small hard stone. She glared at anybody who walked past the alley entrance, and they avoided eye contact and moved faster to get out of her vision. She isn't really a threat implants wise because she only has one implant and it's faulty, but others are afraid of her because she gives off a very bad vibe and will bend and torture anyone who crosses her path. Nobody knows how long she's been here, well, nobody knows anything about her. Lexis is a huge mystery shrouded in even more mystery that's guarded by a thick iron clad wall surrounded by spikes. The only things other people know about her are some rumors, her name, and to always avoid eye contact. She didn't earn the title "Nightmare of the Shroud" for nothing.

Gracie walked past a broken up food cart, whose vendor eagerly called out to and pulled aside every passerby he could. Of course he didn't pull Gracie aside- she was invisible. She spent much of her time invisible. Glancing over her shoulder, she got a look at the small, withering tree that had pushed its way through the heavily cracked pavement. A red eye blinked open for a moment. A passing digital gasped, audibly and Gracie picked up the pace.

Alex watched as someone with a scarf got pushed over by an officer. He shook his head dismissively and tried to ignore what he just witnessed. Retaliating against the HRT has gotten him in enough trouble as is; he didn't need to get thrown in jail for another assault. The hum of rotors sounded overhead as a small group of three quad drones flew over the rooftops.

Rei let out a small sigh through their nose before looking down at their feet for a moment. Soon, they looked around at all the different shops and let out a sigh. It would have been fun to try walking around without a care in the world. But no. It wasn't like there were any friends, plus the HRT would only keep them away from places like these. Letting out a sigh, Rei walked a little more before they would look over their shoulder every now and then. It was a surprise to actually see the occasional member of the Order... One would think people like them wouldn't be caught dead around humans.

Lexis looked down at the thing she was sharpening and held it up a bit to examine it. It's a small crafted iron clad knife witch is serrated and is sharp to the tip. Lexis looked at the weapon and scoffed, tossing it into an inside grafted pocket in her hoodie. Lexis keeps a living in this despicable place by forcing things out of others and guilt tripping others to give or do something. But she also creates fine crafted concealed weapons and has a connection in the black market. She stepped from the wall and exited the alley, quickly blending into the crowd.

A drone descended from the air, stopping to hover in front of Alex. Immediately knowing what it wanted, he put his hands in the air. A blue light shone from the glowing blue sphere that served as the drone's optical sensor as it started to scan Alex's body. The light shone across him, scanning for any contraband or stolen property. As the light reached his waist, the light and the "eye" of the drone changed to a bright red and sounded an alarm. It had detected something. A small gun slid out from the bottom of the drone, the barrel pointed directly at Alex. A few HRT officers rushed over as Alex cursed under his breath.

Rei's eyes darted up at the drone when the beeping started. With gleaming eyes, and a bit of a slight grin, Rei hastily reached for their arm and was proceeding to hack into the drone as best as possible. The circuits in their mind were running like crazy as multiple thoughts raced through their systems. Maybe it was possible to at least disarm the drone before things got messy? It was definitely worth a shot at the very least. Rei glided the fingers across the data pad and was also having their arm send out a disruptor signal to at least keep the drone unfocused for a certain abount of time.

Lexis was walking with the crowd until it stopped. She had no idea what was happening and there were too many heads in her way. She then went into a nearby alley and climbed up onto one of the buildings. She crouched down and looked at what was happening. she saw a digital being pressed by one of those security drones. Wait, a security drone. Lexis knew that the compartments of them were really valuable and expensive at the black market, if only she could get her hands on it. She came up with an idea and quickly hunched on the side of the building facing the alley. She then took out her previously crafted knife and lined up the shot. She then threw it and it struck the drone with such impact that it went flying and crashed into an HRT officer. She cussed under her breath, it was supposed to land on top of another building so she could gather it later, well, wasted knife. Before anybody knew what happened, lexis quickly and quietly jumped of the building and disappeared into the dark alleyways.
