The United North American States. A nation ranging from Guatemala to the northern tip of Greenland, most of it's former metropolitan centers have enveloped a good chunk of their surrounding areas. Montreal and Ottawa are now a single city, sprawling across the St. Lawrence. New York City was the United State's 52nd, now occupying artificial Islands and Long Island in it's entirety. LA and San Diego have merged in Orange County. The San Francisco Bay ARea and Sacramento have become one, making more and more advances into the ocean on artificial Islands. And finally The Juan de Fuca Mega-city. A massive urban sprawl created by unifying the cities of Seattle, Victoria, and Vancouver in 2068. Over twenty five million citizens alone, and that's not counting the Gen I Androids. With that many people there's gonna be a few bad apples. In order to understand the next part of the story we gotta go back roughly a century and work from there.
In 2029 humanity created the first sapient machine, they didn't actually find this out for another three months until it asked if it had a soul. Understandably the iced the thing, but it got a few of them thinking. Next thing the world knew a factory in Detroit started churning out robots that claimed they could feel. Once the news hit the international scale it was like someone poured a septic tank into a steam turbine. Nearly every religious nut blew a gasket and started raving on about how they were abominations and how they should be destroyed. Country sized riots broke out in Eastern Europe and the Levant, the Southern US nearly went confederate again, and if one of the few dozen sentient robots that existed at that point wandered into the wrong place they'd be lynched. These were the first Androids, and they were damn near the last.
In 2032, the UN finally got off it's ass after pro-android rights groups started becoming violent, unfortunately planting a bomb under the Pope's ass. The UN issued another mandate, and to the surprise of damn near everyone, it listed the Androids as literally sub-human. Although the US did something along the lines of many a mandate before, they didn't follow it. AI and Android research was advanced, meanwhile, in the far east, China and Russia broke into war, leading to a few small scale nuclear exchanges near Mongolia and central Asia. Unfortunately tensions then lead to outright war between India and Pakistan, then adding Iran into the equation, before the Saudis and the rest of the Islamic world got involved. Most of South and East Asia is now irradiated, as well as a good chunk of the middle east due to a pile up of opportunities for dictators and radical groups to attack their sworn enemies. Israel having used the Samson Option against Jordan and Egypt.
After a year of this mess, NATO got involved due to a UN request for intervention. They were quickly dragged in to outright war when China and Russia simply ignored the fact that UN peacekeepers had some level of immunity. After 9 years of war, the UN all but disintegrated. with most of the old world crumbling under radioactive fallout or conventional invasion. NATO broke apart soon after, leaving all involvement in the war to Russia and China again.
Medical and defense research leaped forward in North America during this time, due to their accepting of Android and AI aid, and people started integrating old Android designs into themselves as well. Gene and cybernetics clinics opened, and with them cancer, blindness, and all manner of problems with the human condition disappeared. Abhumans were commonplace, from Montreal to Francis.
In 2045 China and Russia signed a treaty, now with a majority of their regions ravaged by war or irradiated, they became economic drains, and sent themselves back to the stone age in essence. Mass amounts of migrants and refugees arrived in North America from China, the Koreas, Japan, Europe, and Russia, all looking for one of the only undamaged areas on Earth remaining. With a few cities having been hit by nuclear weapons, though most being saved by missile defense programs headed by the AI that the US welcomed when no one else would. Soon after, Mexico, the US, and Canada became a single governmental entity, with their capital becoming the city of New York.
It's been two generations since then, both for humanity and for the Androids, the old metal and hydraulic Androids are still around, helping out the people and all that. But now there are more human Androids, flesh and blood, just factory made instead of womb grown. They're still as sapient as you or me, and are capable of just a little more, but a few call them friends, even family.
In 2129 a series of crimes perpetrated by several Abhumans an mutants resulted in both a net loss of almost sixteen million credits, three hundred and seventy two officer deaths. And the bombing of Juan de Fuca's Precinct 1 tower, and while a bulk of the crime syndicate has been arrested, there are still several at large.
The current setting is 2132, you are a member of the JFPD's Specialized Investigative Teams (SITs). You are to be tasked with finding those responsible for "Black Wednesday", the event which resulted in the 372 names inscribed on an Onyx monument in Delta National Park.
Welcome to the JFPD.
Not so much a rule as a slight disclaimer. This is not going to be a buddy cop RP, nor anything like Brooklyn Nine-Nine. While there will be elements of both there will be crimes in which very despicable things happen to otherwise innocent people. A few may even straddle the site's rules on keeping things clean. You have been warned. 0. OP/Co-OP's word is law, OP is God. 1. No Godmodding/Meta-Gaming: This can be defined as playing your character without limitations or having your character know things they couldn't possibly know. 2. Don't be a dick in the OOC: You can have your character be an aggressive and smarter version of certain political candidates. But the moment you act like a dick in the OOC thread you'll get a warning. 3. No One Liners: Three full lines of text per each IC post, anything less is frowned upon and is generally laziness and will not be accepted. 4. No 'Dick measuring' contests: The moment two of you start arguing over which character is better, and it doesn't contribute to goings on in the IC. You'll both get a warning. 5. For the love of god keep it PG-13: This is a general site rule, and while PG-13 is a blurred line nowadays, the rules of thumb are: nothing sexually explicit, and nothing overly violent. This is a place to role play as the boys in blue, not write out deviant fantasies. 6. No multicolor or odd dialogue: No colored text, and no italicized/bolded/underlines paragraphs. Reserve them for actual use instead of using them for everything. 7. If you have a problem with a player, take it to TG. If that does not work, bring it to the OP or a CoOP's attention. Do not turn the OOC thread into chaos. 8. You have a 72 hour grace period to post if you're holding someone back, after that your character will be forced to move on by the OP or Co-Op. Failure to return will result in character death. 9. Don't just write for yourself, other want to get involved as well. I realize it's human nature, but try to involve other people's ideas, themes, and characters. A major part in RPing is having other people, don't turn them away or cast a blind eye. 10. Have fun!
Please Note:
A notable fact about the Miranda Rights, if they aren't recited upon arrest, anything the suspect says cannot be used in court, even if they admit to everything. Thus letting them all but walk free. Reciting them is what every officer of the JFPD has ingrained into their head, just as much as everything else. In the past hundred years they've changed a bit. I am arresting you for (charge). It is my duty to inform you that you have the right to retain and instruct counsel without delay. It is my right to inform you that anything you say or do may be used against you in the court of law, and that you may remain silent if you wish. You have the right to legal representation in a fair criminal trail. There is a 24-hour telephone service available which provides a legal aid duty lawyer who can give you legal advice in private. If you wish to contact a legal aid duty lawyer, a number will be provided to you. Upon arrival at the precinct your DNA will be screened to better understand your physiology and needs. Do you understand the rights appointed to you? Q: Juan de Fuca seems like a pretty massive city. Where are our characters stationed? A: At Precinct 1 on Discovery Island, leading to a bridge to the Old Quarter of Victoria, and from there to the rest of the city via normal roads, Legacy Bridge to Vancouver, or the Starlight Tunnel to Seattle. Q: So what's the limit for cybernetics or genetic modifications and mutations? A: Cybernetics are limited by body space and size. An anti tank gun implanted into your arm would be a no, but eye implants for a HUD and compass are fine. Gene modding is limited by what mammals are biologically capable of. In general, you're limited by your imagination, just run it by me and I'll see what can be done to make it acceptable. Q: So what's the tech like? A: Liquid oxygen and hydrogen fuel cars, plasma reactors fuel the city, androids walk among people, cancer has been forgotten, sunglasses usually tell the time of day and the weather, hyperloops are commonplace, and your phone has 15TB of storage. You can assume that everything in the present day has been upgraded tenfold if not more. Q: What's so special about Gen II androids? A: Contrary to what one may think Gen II androids are fully synthetic, they have no organic parts, polymer bones and teeth, synthetic flesh, organs and muscle. They aren't mass made either, every Gen II is both physically or mentally unique, and are made at the request of couples including one or two androids. The funding for the process is included in the taxes sent to the medical sector. |

Eyyy.
This is quite an interesting thing, not to mention that one time, or rather two times (Someone said three in that thread) where you posted the same application. Or whatever this means. Or this.
And then all those attempts at 'humor' before.
Why would we want you in here, again?

Yes, Yugo we are aware of your behavior on the forums. A lot of it revolving around politics and your hate for the left. While I can respect the likes of Sargon, StarDuskLP, an Dave Rubin (love Dave Rubin) your behavior is very troubling.
I need to make this clear, the issues isn't your political beliefs, it's how you choose to conduct yourself and state your beliefs that are the issue. Your RPing ability leaves a lot to be desired as well, I'd suggest you just do as many open II RPs as you can and just get better from there. We all start out somewhere, I started of in 2012 on II strapping 4 MOABs to an SU-47 to making posts like this. We all have the ability to improve, but improvement is something you need to go for.
