Sign up: Disutopia

[Esiphas]

The year is 1'000'000'000'000 AD, and humanity has ascended to the heavans. throughout the reaches of space, enourmous stations called 'Utopias' float, housing HUmanity in an artifical world where everything is perfect. Nothing can go wrong, everyone is free, and equal. Crime cannot happen- if you want something, its yours. Those who do commit crimes dissapear, and no-one hears anything about it. Its a perfect existance, and its into this life, that you were born.

Atlas Utopia, the biggest utopia station of all, drifts in space, with you aboard. Nothing could possibly go wrong. You are safe, and everything is perfect.

At least, its supposed to be. But when, all of a sudden, the illusion of perfection that is your life cuts off... thats when hell descends. Chaos. Anarchy and destrouction happen at once. You amongst them, suddenly find that the perfect world you have lived in al your life is a lie, and that the reality is dark ocrridors, machines and smoke. You appear to be laying on a table, with a fullfaced helmet that suddenly springs open, releasing you onto the dark real world. People are running, screaming, tearing the needles from their arms that supply everythng your body might need. Suddenly, your life is your own again. What will you do now?

Name: Ivan Watts
Gender: Male
Age: 17
History: From a young age Ivan was drawn to water like a moth to a flame, its shimmering depths causing him to seek it out in anyway and every way he could, whether it be in the form of a shower or sneaking into the stations water purification rooms. The constant sneaking away gave him the reputation of being a weirdo and a trouble maker, causing the other children to avoid him when possible. This never really bothered Ivan though as it just made it easier to get out when no one was looking. Things stayed like this for most of his younger years, his distant parents who where nearly always enjoying the wonders of such a perfect world shunning him as much of his class mates.

Nothing really changed until Ivan's early teenage year's, where still water loving and shunned, he found someone he thought that didn't exist. Someone like him. On one of his wanderings throughout the stations water storage tanks he found this person in form of a small shy boy by the name of Alex. At first their meeting was horribly awkward which was to be expected from two younger boys who had had little to do with others their age, with all their first meeting managing to achieve was to find they had a mutual love of water which they both sat staring at its wonder before without a word they looked at each other and parted ways. At first Ivan didn't really put much thought into his fellow water watcher until they met the next day, and the next, never saying anything as they watched the hypnotizing movements of colorless liquid. In time however they shared words which turned into entire conversations which lead them to find out how much in common they actually had other then just water, and as a result turned into a close friendship.

Sadly though as things became better for Ivan with Alex, things got worse with others. His school mates discovered the childish wonder of bullying, and while Ivan was able to shrug most of it off Alex wasn't so lucky. Already being shy and self concussions due to an secretly abusive father still blaming him for his mothers loss he became an emotional wreck, causing him even more trouble at school. This kept getting worse until one day he sat down with Ivan above a tank of water, a large bruise covering one side of his face. Looking at his friend Ivan, who was already confused about how he felt about his companion was brought to the edge of tears. Not knowing what he fully meant to do he wrapped his arms around his friend in an attempt to make him feel better.

For a while everything seemed alright with the world, that was until a shout of laughter erupted from below them. Looking down to see a trio of Alex's regular tormentor, the three hurled insults at the two before leaving in even more laughter. A little shaken himself now Ivan was surprised to find his friend vanish from his grip only to be followed a few seconds later by a splash. In horror he looked on as his only friend, weighed down by prepacked materials, drowned in front of him. It was in that moment that anything good he saw in mankind left him being replaced with nothing but anger and disgust which nothing seemed to be able to quench. Not the once calming water. Not the accidental electrocution his parents died of while swimming. Not even the strange drowning of three bullies that where wandering the water tanks.

Now fully alone in this world, Ivan stepped back to see the full corruption of the machine which was mankind, as even in this world were everything came too easily, writhed in its own excess. Turning his back on people in general Ivan was about to join his friend when he was rudely woken from his life.

Family: His only family being in the form of his distant parents died while indulging in the bliss of utopia.
Skills:
Swimming- A rare skill to have on a space station.
Basic cooking and life skills- Needing to do everything for himself from a young age.
Hydro- Basic to advanced knowledge on things that involve water such as water purification machinery and pluming.
Stowaway- Getting away from people for most of your life holds its perks, especially when its in area's you're not meant to be. Years of running have given Ivan a good knack for sneaking and hiding in enclosed spaces.

Description:

Personality: Due to being shunned in his childhood and the death of his only friend caused by the diseased machine which is humanity, Ivan holds a great hatred for average people, especially if they are self centered or enjoy the torment of others. Ivan also finds it extremely hard to trust people that haven't, in his words, "Proven to be more then human." though he can get rub elbows with them when needed. When people do get close to him however (which only one person ever has) they find he is more then a little socially awkward in conversation though will often strive to do whatever he can to make them happy in this life. However while he is above the normal inelegance level he finds it hard to put any credit into his abilities, resulting in a very low amount of self confidence to the point he was ready to die upon having no one left he felt needed him.

Physiological stuff:
Hydrophilic- Ivan has a close love for water, much like a pyro would a flame.
Borderline personality disorder- Has a habit to suddenly shift in mood or perspective. People with this condition usually have trouble maintaining a close relationship.
Misanthrope- Generally doesn't like ordinary people, seeing most of their values and views to be selfish and shallow. Ivan harbors a particular hate for the social systems of mankind which are in his eyes broken and corrupt, the only cure for them to be to pushed deep underwater.
Self destructive- Often blames himself for the suffering for people he cares about, the main case being Alex's death, causing him to think very little of himself.

[Esiphas]

Looks good- a little tortured for a person in Utopia, but it'll be pretty interesting to see how someone with His Psyche interacts with the REAL world. Looking forward to seeing his interaction with the *Shouldn't be posting spoilers!*

[mantisstalker]

Ah, well, I'm sorry but I find it hard to picture any human world to be perfect, and Ivan became the reflection of that. And a few other things... 3:

[Esiphas]

No human world can be perfect. That's why I'm allowing him- He's a perfect example of the sort that have been swept under the rug, or the skeletons in the closet of the so called perfect world, and then suddenly, the perfect world is gone, and he's immersed in a world where everyone feels like he does, or worse.

[Yuno]

I lost my stupid character. I'll put up the specifics after I get back,

But she looks like this, her name is Lucabella and she has a lost older brother within the facility called Lucallen. She is 15

[Esiphas]

oooooh... You've intrigued me now.

[Yuno]

Name: Lucabella Hawthorne
Gender Female
Age: 16
History: Lucabella Hawthorne's parents disappeared mysteriously on the night she was born. She was taken in by a rich noble who knew more than just heaven in paradise. His wealth and connections made him a powerful man, and for some reason, Matthew Hawthorne took an interest in her. As she grew it was easy to understand why. The little girl was far beyond beautiful, far past any other girl. And it was not just her face, hair, and slender form that could enchant others so, but the young girl's heart that made her such a desirable pet. And a pet she was. Matthew kept her nearby at all times, always his little princess near.

When she grew older, she became tired of her caged life style. At a particularly lavish event she met Gale Way, a young man that acted as a servant towards others, although less overtly than this. His roguish charm soon swept her off her feet and the two began a whirlwind romance that ended when her guardian found out about them. He locked her away from the young man promising that if they saw each other again Gale would surely die. Lucabella wept bitterly for this.

It was during this weeping that she prayed somehow for them to be together, that was when she woke up.

Personality: She is the personification of beauty, kindness, and good heartedness.

[Yuno]

Name: Gale Damien Way

Gender: male

Age: 18

History: nobody ever had to tell gale that there was trouble in paradise, although there are no quote on quote classes in utopia, his family was the one that supposedly got joy out of serving others, being beaten and used by others. Someone has to be a dog in paradise. Gale's parents died when he was younger leaving him to fend for himself. He never desired the simple bodily pleasures everyone else did, he wanted the point of it all. He grew always searching for answers, always kind to his peers, but somehow separate from them. He studied books and fairy tales especially enchanted him.

As he grew older, he slipped into an angry darkness, somehow he knew that paracise could not look like this. Perhaps it was the darkness of his heart that made the girl who seemed to be made of ligt especially enchanting to him. Watching her float around dance floors and parties like an angel enchanted him so much. He spent months serving at parties, watching angrily at the boys of means fighting for her attention. he knew it was ridiculous to feel such possession, but for the first time in his life he refused to be rational.

It was at one particular party the two finally met. Gale dropped a huge pile of fruits on her, whether it was on purpose or not he wont say, but the way she blushed and assured him it was okay drew the eye of her other admirers. Perhaps in a lucky way, their violence against him was a disguised blessing. Lucabella, out hiding from the party caugt the other boys in the act of jumping Gale. Bewildered and beaten severly he can only say he remembers her intervention. But he does remember waking in the lap of luxury that was her room to find his wounds cleaned and healed by the finest medicine to see her sleeping by the foot of the bed. Feeling not only surprised that she was as kind and gentle as her smile could only delight him further in his crush.

He disappeared, but not before leaving her the finest love note ever written in paradise. From there, love blossomed in notes and secret meetings. Until he was discovered. Distraught at being kept from the one precious thing he'd decided upon, Gale refused to believe it could be paradise. As he gripped his head screaming, he finally woke up.

Name: Ian Jenkins
Gender: Male
Age: 56
History: Ian's life was one of contempt mediocrity, almost ideal in the way that it has so far played out. What is there not to love? He has a family, owns a business, has his own home, is happy with his life - this place is aptly named for him.

After completing school on the utopia of Haqq Islam (one of the most socially conservative of them and the site of one of the last Abrahamic cultures), he moved out of his parents' place who was the last to leave the roost after his brother and sister. He went to university and studied the arts majoring in music. After which he went onto a post grad in economics, commerce and business studies, It was in this time where he met his wife Lewes. His early life kept him afloat on his blues albums which reflected his poorer up bringing and also had some hymns which got a unique following of religious renewal, although this never caught on too much outside a small community.

Later in his life, after he finished with tertiary education, he opened his own music store seeing there was a shortage of traditional musical instruments in this place - also finding that people were still willing to trade for goods despite the communal nature of the Utopias. His brother had a butcher/general grocer who sold produce from the more agricultural Utopia of Panpacificana. His sister saw the place full of liberal decedance and started her own church. The small community that they started really seemed to prosper. Empathizing with poorer conditions and the renewal that they brought to Atlas' once dwindling religious community bringing hope to these who fell through the crack that people would rather stay ignorant on, Ian has seen that this place is not a paradise for all equally. he gained a higher middle class position and had 4 children

Recently, after his grandchildren are now coming to school, he had discovered how different the culture really can be on Atlas. The higher powers are currently investigating him for his heightened status and took a lot of his possessions from his for an 'investigation'. They had done so months before with his brother's imports - he has not seen him in weeks. His sister and a large part of the community they started have begun to emigrate from the Utopia, although it has not been made easy for them. He current lives in a shadow of his former material status, but his ol' timer spirit has proved greater than that.

The man has stood up as a voice for the seemingly persecute conservative meritocracy that he has been apart of, the freedom they thought they had apears to only be enjoyed certain ways. His out spoken nature has seen some systematic intimidation left more of his family disappear ...the first being his wife
Family: His parents aren't on Atlas, his sister has emmigrated, he has 4 chidren and 12 grandchildren although he sees them a lot less.
Skills: He traded for musical instruments. He's not bad at economics and he know the BLUUUU-UUUES!
Description:YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, IT ISN'T AN ANIME IMAGE!

Personality:He's a friendly and jolly guy although he was definitely from another place then where he is now. He sees these young people who have been fornicating promiscuously with both genders before marriage and the such as accepted immorality. He was taught with manners and respect and will pounce on those who don't have it. He's also still religious and isn't above using another's vulnerable moment to save their soul. He's generally very fatherly and approachable, although once you get very friendly with him he get get a little crude. He often wears a genuine smile on his face and he'll always put his hand up to help somebody in need as well as learn 'em 'bout tha good ol' ways
