undesirables The raft drifts through the mist, no end in sight to your misery. The grey water laps at your fingers that hang over the side of your raft. The plain white, muslin clothes you were sent away in are stained with sweat and lake water. The fog seems never-ending as it blurs out the sun that looms high in the sky. Laying on your back, you seem to have accepted your fate. Suddenly, the raft stops as it hits something solid. You sit up. Your heart stops. Land. You've reached land. Nothing makes sense as you step onto the rocky shore, and the confusion worsens as you meet the eyes of a girl standing before you with a cunning grin. "Welcome to the Island," she says. "Guess they didn't want you, either?"

rules Rules - follow all of them; mine, proboards, and the forums.
Activity - please try to be on a couple times a week. I know everybody has very busy lives, but try to make time to be on.
Literacy - please be capable of writing a paragraph or so of substantial material. At least a couple sentences to keep things going.
PG 13 - keep everything appropriate. Some violence and gore is okay, but if you'd like to roleplay more intimate scenes, keep it to PM's.

then... The Great Lakes were flooding. Two-hundred miles away had once been dry and barren. Now it served as the shoreline to what was now being called the New Sea. Nobody knew what had caused the extreme flooding, but the best bet was the nuclear war that had wiped out most of the world's population. The lost people of what had once been the United State's were looking for a shelter. And so they created one. On the banks of their New Sea, they created the Society and the Vows of Humanity, the strict laws they created to promote peace and unity among all people in order to prevent another disaster from happening.
...now The Society is one of the only civilizations left on the planet. Though they started out with great promise, the past two-hundred years crushed all hope in the Society. Ran by the Truth Council, they have become a strict, unforgiving institution. They rule with an iron fist, and the citizens walk around the City without any clue of the injustice they are surrounded by. All buildings are pure white, and the people wear simple clothing of either grey, blue, or black depending on their station. Their laws - or Vows of Humanity - are upheld in every aspect of Society life. Breaking one of them is taken very seriously, though that is rather rare. The offender is dressed in white clothes and sent away on a raft in the New Sea where they die.
Or so they think.

the societyEstablished in 2063. They are very strict and harsh, though the people don't realize just how much they are being treated like slaves. All buildings are white, and most people live in the City, though some do live on the Plots, smaller towns scattered about the Society territory. They sit on the edge of the Grey Water, what was once called the New Sea. The upper class wears black, the normal citizens wearing grey, while children wear blue. Everywhere you look, you can find a Guard, who are easily spotted by their sleek black uniform and white stripe down their sleeves. They are there to enforce the Vows of Humanity.
The Vows of Humanity 1. I shall not raise my hand or voice to those superior to my rank and wisdom. 2. I shall not steal from those who possess the glory and goods I do not. 3. I shall not spill the blood of another that I wish to live no longer. 4. I shall obey the commands of my leaders, for they know what is best for all. the island The Island might just be the best kept secret in the entire world. It sits a good 300 miles away from the City. It is a rather eerie place. There are only three standing buildings. One is what used to be an old warehouse, another is a crumbing parking garage and the last is what remains of a greenhouse. The island itself is not that big. Aside from the three buildings, there is a large lake in the middle of the large forest the takes up the rest of the island. A small piece of land has been cleared for growing food that cannot be grown in the greenhouse, while most of the food is hunted. Though the Island is a welcome surprise for many, not all Undesirables reach it, which is why they don't have a very large population. Occasionally, they do send out a party searching for people, but very rarely. They do not called the water surrounding them the Grey Water, like they are raised to do in the Society. Instead, they call it by it's old name; the New Sea.
Their government is set up like a monarchy. At top sits the King and the Queen. They are typically married, but some partnerships and sibling pairs have occurred. They oversee almost everything on the Island, and rule until they die or decide to leave their position. They choose a Duke and a Duchess, one of which will succeed them. Often, the Duke and Duchess are married as well, and they rule together. But there are times where the King chooses their successor, and the heir does not invite the Duke/Duchess to rule alongside them. A King/Queen does not always need a partner, but there will always be both a Duke and a Duchess. If someone does not hold one of these positions, they are just a normal, everyday outcast.

news x Felicity has taken over, but she did not ascend with the Duke, Ezra. She demoted him and chose a new Duke and Duchess, but no King. Some people don't like this, and see this as her taking control. Meanwhile, certain people are trying to gain power while they have the chance.
x event
relationships x Felicity and Atticus are siblings
x C and D are dating
plots x We're doing this.
x And this.
