PROGRAM NAME: DEUS EX MACHINA PROGRAM STATUS: INITIALIZING LOADING PROGRAM...DONE LOCATION: MITSIRU, JAPAN TIME: 04:15:94 PM, MARCH 15, YEAR 2029 Clouds hung densely in the air over Mitsiru, almost as if watching the bleak, lifeless streets from overhead. It's not like the city's roads were always like this; Mitsiru was in fact a massive, bustling town. Today, however, was something different. The people were all inside, anxiously waiting for the most important trial in recent history to begin. A man had died. His name, or rather his professional name, was Dr. Chiro. He had led his small company, Datatech Corporation, into the newest industrial revolution: AI robots. For years, the project had been underway, the massive experiment to create a robot that could think, one that could feel, sense, and percieve...a living, breathing robot. Of course, all of this was supposed to be strictly top-secret, but of course, the media has ways... They had finally done it, they announced. The message was heard all across the world. They had finally created the first AI robot. They said the 'product' would be called "Andriod Model X", and that they would begin mass-production of the unit once it was approved by the TPAA (Technological Product Approval Administration). No one could have possibly seen it coming. /flashback.exe/ Dr. Chiro sat in the limo, next to the masterpiece he was about to showcase at a tech convention. She was a miracle of science, the prototype Android Model X, although the to the casual observer would only see a human girl of about maybe fourteen years of age. She, like all the Model X's that were to follow her, was designed to mimic every aspect of human life. Her humanity was so complete, in fact, that she didn't even know that she was a machination. The emotional recoil such knowledge would produce would introduce variables in the humanitary algorithms too complicated for even the most dedicated mathmatician to work out. Her official name was "Datatech Co. Android Model X Type 01 Unit 00-00-00-00-01", but due to an early system malfunction resulting in an over-clocked persona chip, she had insisted that they name her Kaorin. And so, reluctantly, they had. When they arrived at the convention, Kaorin helped the man she referred to as 'father' out of the car. At once, there was a massive crowd surrounding them, blaring questions, taking pictures, everything. This confused Kaorin terribly, for though she had the body of a young high-school student, in reality she had only been functional for a couple months. Dr. Chiro bent down as security rushed in to contain the crowd. "It's all right," he whispered in Kaorin's ear, "They're here to see how wonderful of a little girl you are." Kaorin looked up at him with her pale blue eyes and smiled, but she didn't say anything. She thought the rest of the 'trip' went very well. All she had to do was stand up on the stage and do whatever he told her to. Sit down, stand up, smile, bow, greet everyone...very, very simple tasks. So simple, at times she wondered why daddy was even bothering to make her do all these things. But she didn't question him, and she did as she was told every time. When the convention ended, the crowd dispersed, and Kaorin and Dr. Chiro walked back to the limo, which they entered abruptly, because it was terribly cold out. Dr. Chiro smiled, and lightly pressed a button, and the windows darkened to black, and a similar black window slid up between the section they were sittong in and the driver's compartment. "You did very well today, dear," he smiled affectionately, drawing Kaorin in for a hug. She held herself up to him, still shivering from the cold outside. He drew her face up with a hand, and looked deep into her eyes, which glowed eerily in the darkened compartment. "It's time for a tune-up..." Without a sound, Kaorin lowered her silky hands, preparing to take off her clothing. Of course she didn't know any better, she had never recieved legitimate data on this particular section of human activity, it always had seemed to make Dr. Chiro happy, and it usually didn't hurt her, so she had of course never refused when he had requested it of her. Something was different this time, though...someone was watching, she was sure of it. There was a certain presence in the campartment making her feel uncomfortable. All too suddenly, the presence made itself known with a shout. "You sick bastard!" a young male voice shouted. Kaorin was suddenly thrown against the door with a thud, and looked up just in time to see a fountain of red erupt from Dr. Chiro's chest, as though something was trying to dig into him. Rips appeared in his shirt, followed by blood...oh, so much blood...who or whatever was dismembering her dad, Kaorin couldn't see, but she could definitely see the crimson liquid bursting out all over the place, staining her clothes. The door was blown clear off the car, and Kaorin saw something jump out. It almost seemed like...a person, maybe! Except you could only see anything that had been stained by the blood...an invisible man! Kaorin turned to see her dad. When she saw the ruined remains of his body illuminated in the sunlight, she fainted... /end program: flashback.exe/ Kaorin shuddered at the painful memory. It had been merely two days since the incident, but so much had happened...she had been interrogated mercilessly, and the end conclusion had been that she had been the murderer. She was horrified at the idea, but it made sense; she had been the only person at the scene of the crime. Of course nobody else knew about this 'ghost man', and they wouldn't care if she told them. They'd chalk it up to delusions of a crazed little girl. The trial was today. Although Kaorin had no idea how, she would have to defend her innocence now. And meanwhile, new models of the Andriod product line were beginning open rebellion in the streets, pushing for equal rights. It was indeed a hectic time in Mitsiru, and though there was no activity in the streets, the tension in the air was unbelievable. If Kaorin was found guilty today, the rapidly growing Andriod population would be thrown into a full-on rebellion, leading to the next planetary revolution. Alone in the bleak, dreary streets, void of all life, a single little girl waked slowly to the court building, her soft footsteps echoing through the entire city... END PROGRAM: DEUS EX MACHINA

Okay, hopefully that caught your attention. Basically, there has been a murder, the detail of which are shrouded in mystery. Kaorin knows she's not guilty, but none of the humans really give a damn about what she says, because she's an Andriod. Of course, this makes no sense to her because she isn't aware that she's an android.

Andriods are heavily discriminated against, and things are about to turn violent; it all depends on the outcome of the trial, which wil, of course, be an unfair, biased trial. Everyone knows this, but no one is certain what will hapen after the outcome. Many are of the opinion that it will lead to open warfare, and are making militant preparations for such an event.

Now for the fun part: sign-ups. It wouldn't be much of a Role Play if you didn't have a character. Here's what you'll need.

Name: (Any name'll work)
Age: (Again, whatever suits you)
Type: (Choices are Andriod and human)
Weapon: (Only if applicable, maximum of two, use your imagination)
Family: (Only if applicable, andriods are usually property of some family or another)
Appearance: (Pictures or descriptions, I don't really care)
Bio: (If you don't know the drill, don't bother signing up)

I'm looking forward to a colorful cast of characters, but sign-ups will be cut off after four people aside from myself have been approved. I'll post my own sign-up later, like when someone else signs up. There are only two sign-up rules:

1. You can't be Kaorin (That's my character)

2. You can't be the invisible man (He ties deeply into the storyline, so I'm playing it safe)

Other than that, just have fun! I'll see you all soon!
