This is based off of the world created by the band The Protomen. If you want a real full understanding, check out their songs.
The back story
Many years ago two men built robots to help make the struggles of mankind easier. To help with the labors they endured in the mines and factories. The Good Doctor intended just that, for man and machine to survive side by side. The other man had other plans, he believed the people owed thme both everything for building all these robots. So he hatched a plan, he framed the Good Doctor for a murder, he used his secret robot assassin and the police arrived at the scene only to find the dead woman and the Good Doctor. The second part of this man's plan was to bind the working hand of mankind. Everything was rebuilt for them, made better, the homeless and criminal elements were systematically removed. Factories were automatized, and the mines worked by the robots. Everyone was paid for their servances as the robots replaced them. It seemed like heaven. As years passed children grew up not knowing of the old world, because to the older generations this world seemed so much better, and rumors began to speak of a demon who would make you disappear in your sleep if you had an ill-word to speak against the machines, so they were raised to stay close to their mothers while outside,always smile and never speak ill of the machines. After all, this world was a gift given by the man controlling the machines and he could just as easily take it all away again couldn't he? So the machines kept everyone safe, kept them silent.

A tower with a giant screen stand above all else in the city, able to be seen from almost everywhere in the city. All the news was broadcasted from here, when there was no news the following prases would play "We keep you safe, We are your hope, We have control." Posters of the man who controls the robots are all over various walls in the city with the word obey written. This is normal to you though. It's all you've ever known, but some of you have grown tired of this. Tired of living in this silent fear.

This city's sleeping like a soldier
trapped inside of an iron lung,
Machines can keep you breathing
but what happens when you find a new war's begun?
Flip a switch and turn it off, you won't be able to breathe.
So either way you're a casualty.

I've got this burning like my veins are filled
with nothing but gasoline.
And with a spark,
it's gonna be the biggest fire they've ever seen.
Cut me down or let me run,
either way it's all gonna burn...
The only way that they'll ever learn

We've got to turn it off,

Flip a switch.

Light up the night!

There is a city that this darkness can't hide.
There are the embers of a fire that's gone out,
But I can still feel the heat on my skin
This mess we're in, well you and I,
maybe you and I,
We can still make it right.

Maybe we can bring back the light.

At the heart of the city there is a building that looks down over all there is.
And the man in the tower controls it all without raising a single fist.
It's like they gathered up the city, they sold it to the devil, and now
It's gone to hell and they wonder how.

Well, a friend once told me:
Men, they would follow any man who would turn the wheels.
Now the wheels are spinning out of control; what would they do if we held them still?
If you destroy the working parts, what you'll get is a broken machine.
A beacon of light from a burning screen.

Light it up.
Light up the night.

There is a city that this darkness can't hide.
There are the embers of a fire that's gone out,
But I can still feel the heat on my skin.
This mess we're in, well you and I,
maybe you and I,
We can light up the night.

There is a city that this darkness can't hide.
There are the embers of a fire that's gone out,
But I can still feel the heat on my skin.
This mess we're in, well you and I,
maybe you and I,
We can light up the night.

There is a city that this darkness can't hide
There is a fire that will burn through the streets of the city, and we will stand in the light.
We will stand in the light,
you and I.
You and I.

We can bring back the light.♪

I'm breaking out of this city tonight. I'm going to search for the Good Doctor. I'm sending out this message tonight, send a signal back if you can hear me. Don't turn your back on the city.- Mav

Clarifications:
1.)This is set in semi-modern times, but the "resistance" have limited weaponry. Mostly Combat knives and maybe some pistols but they would use them sparringly.
2.) The robots are searching for the "resitance" without telling the public of them either as they want to keep the people feeling safe, keep control, etc.
3.) The robots aren't super advanced, they can be killed by sliting their throats. But they are still robots so it's going to hurt if they hit you, like alot.
4.) You don't have to play a memeber of the resitance you could play an antagonist who sees the man in the tower has given them as a gift and these terrorists could take it away frome everyone. You can also switch "sides"
5.) You have no idea what the sun looks like. As the city towers so high a "shadow blocks out the sun.."
6.) The Good Doctor lives in exile on the outskirts of the city, hardly interacting but does want revenge on the Man in the Tower.
7.) The Man in the Tower rarely leaves, but sees all that his robots do. But he must always maintain order in the city. Never make the people fear the robots can't protect them.

Rules:
1.) Obey Gaia ToS
2.)Be literate
3.) No godmodding
4.)Romance is encouraged but let's not make it the focus, we don't have time to stay in one place for too long
5.)There are different titles to PM depending on the role you wish to play:
The Good Doctor-"The Father of Death"
The Man in the Tower-"The Hounds"
A Resitance Member-"Breaking Out"
A Robot supporter-" "Keep Quiet"
6.) Lets have fun.

((ROLEPLAY IS OPEN!!!))

Mav was moving through the back alleys. Trying to be as quiet as possible, he knew that robots were always looking for him. Fortunately for him the robots were trying to keep the hunt for him quiet, to not stir panic amongst the regular citizens. However one slip up on his part could mean the end of everything...he kew he needed to find some sort of temporary safe haven. But for now he would keep moving sleeping in short bursts as he did so, and looking for other like him.

((Oh I found out who the picture is of! It's the main character from Girls Bravo >.< haha))


Pink hair was always difficult to hide... But what could she do? She was running through her previous home to check on her little brother... Well atleast she considered him her little brother. She entered his room and smiled as she noticed he was sleeping. She happily walked in and cleaned up slightly from his previous play time and tucked him in before exiting the orphanage and happily sighed before making sure she wasn't being followed. She kind of wondered where Mav was but didn't worry to much about the guy. He was always somewhere. Smiling after a very good adventure to visit the orphanage, Atta slipped down an alleyway and into what was considered safe at the moment.



He stood watching 'his' city as the robots patrolled. He was so high up you would think he couldn't see but, before he had banished his best friend, Azenal had created a program with him that would let him zoom in to the city. He looked around and didn't see anything out of the ordinary yet... Yet..

Saai continued to work as his right hand changed into an assortment of tools. The cleaner robot and broken down towards the end of the day and the job was taking longer than Saai had originally expected. It seemed that during the malfunction, the robot had picked up something it shouldn't have. Whatever it was, it was completely destroyed now but it had damaged some of the circuitry. He finished welding the last part on and reactivated the robot and sent it on its way. He watched as the robot left. It had thanked him but he knew that the reaction was a built in response. He wondered what a human would of done in that situation? A moment later, he turned a began making his way towards the tower. It had gotten late, and he should be getting back soon. He still had a job to do.
