Dysphoria: Type: Casual Prefered Genre: Slice of Life, fluff, not too romance heavy, also species are pure humans, so no gods, demi-gods, supernaturals, etc. Frequency: Maybe at least three times a week, depending on how my work schedule allows. Should at least be flexible. I will go more in-depth with my characters as soon as someone claims this thread. Swift's characters: Melody, 21 years of age. A headstrong woman with the stubbornness of a bull. Conner, 16 years old. Melody's "little brother," (not actually blood-related). Soft-hearted, but knows out to work a blade. Don't mess with the quiet ones. Iceheart's characters:

Kane Archet Kane is tall and rather thin, but muscular for his frame. He is an athlete, competing in track and captain of the soccer team. He is kind hearted and soft spoken, unless you get on his bad side. This can be done easily by messing with his twin sister, Sage.
Sage Archer Sage is short and thin. She is more outgoing than her twin brother, Kane, and has no problem taking care of herself. Sage is rather artistic and can often be found listening to music while she draws in her sketchbook. She also loves to paint, spending as much time as she can in the art room at school.
I can add pictures later too

Conner leaps into the water, ducking his head underground as the barking of the bloodhounds drew closer. He swims upstream, careful not to disturb the water too much. The blood rushes to his ears, heart pounding against his chest, adrenaline pumping through his veins. The barking slowly fades into an echo in the distance as he continues to struggle forward against the current, with his head under the water. Minutes later he breaks through the surface, gasping for air. He listened to the forest any sound of movement, but it remained dark and quiet. No hounds. No police. With a sigh he heaves himself out of the water, shivering. Now to head to base from here. Great. He shakes himself off and starts running.

(Sorry still trying to wrap my mind around this start, they are not apart from the government yet correct?)
Sage walked down the dusty, rundown street towards the middle of town. She was wearing clothes that looked to be covered in dirt. She had a basket on her hip, on her way to receive rations for her and her brother. Kane was the only family that she had left after a disease wiped out her parents when her and Kane were 10.
Kane was just leaving his job in the blacksmith shop. His hands were black and blistered from working with metals all day. He too was headed to the middle of town to meet Sage.
(Let me know if this looks nothing like your vision for this!)

Conner quickly pulled his mask over his nose and mouth and continued forward, seeking another way towards the base without getting caught again. He manoeuvred through the forest and slid into a ravine and started running as fast as he could through the mud in the direction back towards the city sewers.
Melody slipped through the alley and peeked from behind the tower of carts to peek at the man that just walked out of the blacksmith shop. She narrowed her eyes at his pockets and looked around to see if anyone else was close by before moving to a closer hiding spot.

Sage looked around her as the center of the city grew crowded with people. Everyone was bustling close together, eager to recieve their week of rations. Sage found herself wondering, yet again, what the world had been like before the encampment of the cities. Her father used to tell her and Kane stories about living among rolling hills and trees that went for miles. She wondered what is would be like to not live among mile high buildings and concrete streets. After a moment, she snapped herself back to reality, and continued her search for Kane while continuing forward towards the front of the nonexistent line.

Kane shoved his dirty hands into his pockets as he walked towards the center of town. His shoes echoed on the concrete, and shadows from the tall buildings engulfed him.

Conner entered his makeshift home and flopped onto his bed. He needed a new plan if he wanted to recruit more members into this resistance. Letting out a sigh, he scratched into his notebook with an old pencil. Now that the police had nearly caught him, they were probably still in the area and won't leave until a few weeks. He glanced at his small box of food and sighed. Hopefully, he could find something in this dump and find another way into the city; into the camps. Back to wherever Melody was.
Melody closed her eyes and slumped against the wall of her hiding spot. Who was she kidding? If Melody wanted food, then she'd have to get in line like the rest of the folk. But they hardly gave enough. Melody covered her eyes with her hands and her throat tightened as she held back a miserable sob.

Sage was focused on the front of the line, despite being near the back. Should couldn’t help but despise the government soldiers that were passing out the rations. Not only were they well dressed, they looked well fed. Unlike the townspeople, whose ribs often showed from hunger. She felt the anger rising in her, until she remembersd that she should also be searching for Kane.
Kane glanced around him as he walked, which was abnormal for him. He usually walked with a purpose, and destination, in mind. Taking long strides to get there quickly. He didnt know what made him look around, but he immediately spoted a woman crouched in the shadows. He slowed his stride and then stopped. “Are you alright?” He called out.

Melody lifted her head and quickly stood up when she heard someone call out. Her eyes narrowed when her eyes landed on another person looking right at her. Her hand instinctively hovered over her side of the belt where she carried her pocketknife, carefully placed in its sheath. "Who are you..." She frowned, shrinking against the wall of the building, feeling a little more comfortable this way.

“My name is Kane.” He responded, but didn’t step closer. He could sense that she felt threatened. “I was just heading to collect rations for the week, would you like someone to walk with?” He offered calming, know that he needed to get going if he and sage wanted to collect enough rations for both of them.

Melody took a step back, her hand still hovering over the pocketknife. Her stomach suddenly growled loudly and immediately she recoiled. How long had it been since she had a proper meal? Her stomach growled again. "U-ummm..."

“Comeon.” Kane held out a hand, gesturing that she join him. “You can join my sister and I. I know those ration lines can be intimidating.” He tried to sound encouraging

Melody lowered her defensive stance and took a deep breath. He didn't really seem like a bad guy... Slowly she approached him, still cautious. Where was Conner? How long would it take until he arrived again?
