Skyscrapers that stretch up to the heavens, with luminescent lights that illuminate even the darkest of nights. Cars that glide down the smooth streets silently and with ease, their aerodynamic frames built both for speed and safety. Hoverboards. Brightly-colored clothes and hair. Neon lights. Holographic advertisements. Every kind of VR you can imagine.
Crisp. Clean. Active. Brilliant. Safe. Bright. Comfortable. New. Almost perfect.

This is the world you know.

But what if…
What if I told you the world you know isn't the only world to know? What if I told you that beyond the facade of perfection, beneath the glimmering lights and shiny gadgets, the world is as horrible as it ever had been? What if I pulled back the veil, for just a second, and let you see the darkness for what it really is?
What if I took you to the Under World?

Themes: Futuristic. Utopian. Dystopian. Crime. Science Fiction.
This roleplay is set in a near-utopian future. It will follow five high-school or college students who have been chosen to receive an internship, so to speak, for a massive science corporation dedicated to forming the future. However, the young scientist over the program seems to have rigged the selection on purpose, and had other intentions for the internship. He specifically chose these kids for a purpose that they don't understand— and reveals the dangerous truth about what's really going on in their city. Along with the revelation comes questions, choices, and obstacles that have the power to shape their futures— for better or for worse.

Update: I am also willing to do OxOs based on this prompt. Just dm me.

• Do not under any circumstances play someone else's character for them.
• I control weather, dates, times, etc.

Okay so here’s a shorter one, but i can always give you longer posts if you want!

Vienna pulled her black ponytail up tighter to her head and pulled over her vest before she stepped onto the scene. Rain pouring down onto the grass and into her hair, flicking off of the silver of her gun as she held it up ready to shoot if need be.
“OVER HERE! WE’VE GOT ANOTHER DEAD ONE” Min, one of the investigators called.
Three homicide investigators came into town for this one, as more and more bodies kept dropping. Not to mention, they were big names and a lot of money. It was chaos and they didnt know who was causing it until about 2 weeks ago. Once they had an idea of who it was, it was a whole two weeks till they figured out his whereabouts.

Vi ran over to the body and knelt down before hearing a crack and she whipped around to see the figure.
Within a matter of 30 minutes, she and the investigator had the killer down on the ground.
“Well heya hiya there” she says handcuffing the man with a smile. Rain falling down on the crew, she jerked him up and led him to the car, three males surrounding him in case he tried anything.

Alright! :) You're approved.

Esme was her grandmother's name, short for Esmeralda, a name Esme kind of hated. Don't get her wrong, she loved her Nana, but it was an old name, and a weird one, and weird names got teased. Every sixth grader knew that, even the stupid ones.

You'd think the bullying would be straightforward, but no, it wasn't "I hate you and hate your name, I'm shoving you in a locker now."

No, it was weird stares at her full name every morning during attendance. It was people saying it, mockingly, the whole thing, or deliberately mispronouncing it loud for all to hear and laughing afterwards. But Esmeralda had history, so she hated that she loved being Esme. It was better than being a Jessie or a Hannah or an andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer), she was an Esme and that was a strong name for the (aspiring) best artist in the world.

(I hope this is good!)

Name: Tanya Bates
Age: 18
Gender: Cis woman
Backstory: Tanya grew up in a small, close-knit town before her family decided to move to the city for her and her sister to pursue a better education. Her mother fell seriously ill around that time, and the doctors couldn't find out what was wrong with her. It turned out to be Crohn's, and the family struggled paying off medical bills for two years. Now Tanya is worried she won't be able to pursue a higher education as her parents always wanted her to due to cost of college.
Personality Overview: Tanya is a very nervous person. She constantly overthinks things and worries her family hates her every day of her life. She can be narrow minded sometimes and says things she knows she'll regret, but ultimately she cares about people and is very compassionate to their needs.
Strengths: Her compassion, her intuition, her intelligence.
Weaknesses: Her constant overthinking, her constant self depreciation.
Likes & Hobbies: She likes dogs, painting, and bringing her ideas to life through stories and poetry. She loves singing, and is writing a combination of a song and a story for a class project.
Dislikes: Hearing recordings of her voice, getting her picture taken, horses, Venus flytraps.
Appearance:

• Build— Skinny, a bit underweight, with a rectangular torso.
• Skin— Ochre hued, with acne scars littered across her face from picking at her acne all through highschool
• Hair— long twists dyed blue on half of her head, otherwise her natural hair color is black.
• Eyes/Face— Her face is square, with a defined jawline and cheekbones, and gorgeous dark brown deep set eyes. She has a flat nose with no clearly defined bridge, and freckles.
• Clothes— A tattered grey hoodie she refuses to throw out (it's comfy to her, okay?), jeans, and an graphic tee with a pun on it. Her favorite is a shirt with a periodic table saying "I wear this shirt periodically."
• Other— she has a scar on her left hip from a biking accident when she was 11, and closed ear piercings.
  Other Information: Tanya has severe anxiety and ADHD, as well as a stutter. She mainly struggles on S, F, and soft C sounds. She has a small dog named Mittens.
