PLOT CENTER:
The year is 2115. The Bill of Life has been passed for it's third year in a row. No matter how hard teenagers(ages 13-18) struggle to forget about what could be their horrid end, they are consistently reminded of the war that started it all.

The year is 2110. The Heartland war is raging on. Insane how a war as great as World War 3 had began because of disagreement over abortion. The R.A.A(Response Against Abortion) didn't agree with the idea of killing of someone who had no say over what happened to their body. Several others disagreed. Issuing a compromise, the government had passed the Bill of Life. This Bill stated that a child could no be aborted pre-birth. But post birth, a child's body can be signed to be Unwound. Let's dumb it down a bit. Once a child hits age 13, their parent/legal guardian, can choose to sign off the child's body to be unwound.

What is Unwinding you may ask? Unwinding is the act of surgically removing every piece of a child to use for transplants.
Now I know what you're thinking. How can this be more humane than abortion? Forcing a kid to live out their life, then taking it from them and sending their bodies off to be used for other causes. Well let's take it from a parental point of view.

"Amanda was such a fantastic student... Straight A's on every report card. Honor roll. Such a social girl. We were so proud of our little girl... Until she just began to spiral. On her sixteenth birthday, Amanda went out, partied, didn't come home that night, and ended up getting stuck in jail. Oh, but it didn't stop there. Her behavior became worse. Failing class... Never coming home... It was terrible... We didn't know what to do until we saw the commercial for Rosemary Harvest camp. 'Love them enough to let them go. They'll live happier. Just in another way.' Maybe that's what Amanda needed. An escape from this world. A break. So we signed the Unwind papers. Needless to say, she wasn't very happy. But she doesn't understand that we only did it because we loved her. She was just out of control..."

Parents believe they're setting the child free. They have convinced themselves that this is all okay. Kids seem to think otherwise.
Over the course of 3 years, over 20,000 Unwinds have gone AWOL. No one knows where they've gone, but Juvy-Cops are dedicated to hunting each and every one of them down before their 18th birthday... Once and Unwind turns 18... the papers are destroyed.

VOCAB TO HELP YOU OUT:
- UNWIND: A kid whose parents signed the order to have them unwound. The procedure is painless, but they require that you stay awake as they take every part of you.
-AWOL- And Unwind who has escaped and is on the run.
-Juvy-Cops- Cops that are dedicated to collecting Unwinds
-Harvest Camp- A place where they send Unwind's to be taken apart. Some Unwind's are lucky enough to stay for months... others, merely days.

Parts Pirates- Black Market sellers that kidnap AWOL Unwinds to sell their parts for money.
*When an Unwind is Unwound, any part of them can be given to whoever can afford the parts. Some parts are more expensive than others depending on the health of the specific Unwind.
*It is said that when you receive a part from an Unwind, You are likely to get the memories/Abilities that go along with that piece.

WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE?:

Why're you here? You are an AWOL Unwind, and it is your job to make your way across America, searching for a safe house where you and other Unwinds can live freely. But that may not be the case. Even after you make it to the safe house, Juvy Cops still know about you... And are just waiting for the perfect time to attack.
Along the way, you'll come across other AWOL Unwinds, Parts Pirates, Rabid animals, and people who would stop at nothing to see you Unwound. The choice is yours. Stay and get Unwound? Or Join us in the escape.

((This is the single most scariest RP I have ever heard about in my entire life.

*is the perfect age to be unwound*

o3o' 

But just onething- 'The R.A.A(Response Against Abortion) didn't agree with the idea of killing of someone who had no say over what happened to their body' but then you describe how it's still the parent's idea as to whether or not they get unwound. The children still have no say in what happens to them. The parents still write off the sheets and sends them to the Harvest Camps. Or did I miss something? |D

A bit contradictory |D But that is all. I think maybe if you wrote your own bio first more people would be more inclined to join? Or maybe do more advertising in the SB |D But I have to admit, it's an interesting concept you have there. No really. 83

Really sorry to bother you if this RP was closed D8))

The R.A.A doesn't consist of parents. It's a group of people that never agreed with the Unwind concept in the first place.  The parents are not connected to the R.A.A in any way.

First off, this is a wicked plot and I'm subbing whether I join or not just to see where it goes.
Secondly, what exactly are you looking for in our example of RP? A quick snippet pertaining to this RP or a bit of a previously written piece? Could we get an example bio?

Ah yes. I will do an example bio. But since people don't really seem to be taking interest, you and I could do a roleplay over Skype or Email?

- Name - Charlotte Iflamage
- Age - 16 years and 10 months
- Gender - She was female last time she checked.
- Unwind papers signed when - About a month after her 13th birthday.
- Talents or skills - She is the smooth talker, a seducer. She is brilliant with persuading people to do things that they would never do. Charlotte is also handy with a gun and hand-to-hand combat.
- History - She was always a troublesome kid, being a snotty little butt from the time she could talk. She is rude, obnoxious, and loud. She makes rash and dangerous decisions, not caring whether it affects other people; only caring if she survives. Once she found out about the Unwinding papers, she spiraled further down into the pit of awful, going out and doing drugs, alcohol and sex. Charlotte ran away about 3 weeks after her parents had sent the papers in, she ran on the day that they got a confirmation letter back. She's softened up since then, being almost constantly hungry and cold as opened her up to the ways of the world. She is still rude and obnoxious, but has some nice and sweet moments.
- Example - Jason slouched as much as his body allowed, his lower body coiling underneath him; giving anyone the impression that he was about to strike. The brunette teenager sighed softly and ruffled his hair, uncoiling slowly. The dark coloured scales adorning his body from the waist down glistened in the light as he slithered through the grass and out from under the tree he had been situated.
Upright, he slithered past the girls' dormitories, passing by an open window where a pale skinned man conversed with a young girl before leaving the room. Jason paused as he saw the girl pat a cat and swore he heard the cat talk.
With a shake of his head, he slithered on. It wasn't his business. Slithering up the softly polished marble ramp installed for creatures like him, he opened the door to the male dormitories and with a wave of his hand, his trunk levitated off the ground slowly and landed with a soft 'oomph' on the end of his soft bed.
He shook his head again and slithered out of the room and towards the orientation room; he had volunteered to show the new students around.

Hey guys.

I have discussed this roleplay with some other staff members, and we have decided that the content isn't quite appropriate considering the wide variety of age groups we have on Rescreatu. 

We would like to request that this roleplay take place off-site. 

Thank you.
