How Most of Us Live (OOC Thread, Closed)

Postby The Manors » Thu Apr 08, 2010 2:39 pm

OK, so this is an idea I've been kicking around since I founded this nation.

Basically, my nation is divided into two groups. This nation is split between a very, very wealthy and powerful minority, split into various Houses, and the other 95% of the populace (the proles), who lives in horrible conditions. Crowded shantycities with unreliable utilities, scarce food, no healthcare or anything. They are bound forever in vows of service to the wealthy Houses, and they work on their farms and in their factories, then go home to their shanties. Average lifespan is below 50, with a fourth of all children dying before age 10.

So, the idea is that one of the Houses sponsors an "expedition" into one of the proles' shantycities. It's supposed to be a fixed tour of a "model" prole community, kind of like the fake communes the Soviets used for propaganda. Your nation will supply no more than two people for this "expedition."

However, somehow the proles attack the expedition and kidnap the foreigners. Their goal is short of shock therapy, to show you how life really is. So basically it's going to a horror trip into the worst parts of my nation.

I do intend to try and kill off a few people, so don't send anyone important. Here's the signup form.

Name:
Age:
Physical Appearance (picture if possible):
Occupation:
Any weapons (nothing more than a pistol):
Reason for Attending the Expedition:

I suppose I may join in.

Name: Alexandra York

Age: 23

Physical appearance: Image Same body shape, but with a more oval face and deep blue hair and eyes/ violet lips.

Occupation: A student getting a Masters degree in sociology.

Weapons: None.

Reason for attendance: A desire to see how the deprived of the world live.

Note: Most blueberry women have attendants to roll them around and see their needs are met. Alexandra could have had attendants from your government who were killed, leaving her completely helpless and at the mercy of the Proles.

Or the proles could kill whatever attendants she brings with her. Either way, it's be interesting, her being kidnapped by a bunch of half-starved people.

Obviously, you're accepted.

Perhaps we should take our talk to TG's?
