Tag me if you end up making it
Wait what’s there??
That was my thought. Like٫ hold up.
Oh my god٫ IVF.
someone should do characters as pets
I would if I wasn’t feeling this lazy today
What new thing
Ooooh found it
Okay, okay. I’m gonna get over my laziness and do it if people wanna see it?
there’s a ceremony. so you’ll know pretty quickly.
also I could very much be confusing pieces of it with the giver ngl I read them at the same time. but they have a lot in common. like their dystopian worlds are very very similar. minus the color memory thing.
honestly…I might. just for fun. it won’t be a “passion project” type where I put my all into it but it’s an easy one to set up. it would be fun. even if it dies in a few months it’ll just be a chill, easy little RP to do for a while I think
I might start working on a full outline and post it in ideas and see what people think
I am going to keep building a more complex RP idea too, but in the meantime, I think this is like a fun filler idea that everyone can just chill out in
we do
love writing about the Fleurs and their political ways
It’s fun, really fun. Love your reply to Baylor’s post (yeah, I’ve read it already). Will do some thoughts and then a reply once I finished biased opinions and had dinner, so might take an hour or 3/4 for a reply to come out, but will be tonight!
YOU DO IT REALLY FAST HUH
I’m a quick reader okay Much quicker reader than I am a writer, lol
the thing on the gen slides is fun
I haven’t seen the gen slides in weeks honestly
havent been on them in a while too lmao
I’m being truthful here.
okay here’s the rundown. give me thoughts. I might end up naming the society something other than “Society” lmaoo but we will see. I think it also gives it a generic creepy utopian vibe. but the names might change.
Matched RP
**matched**
Society had always been a perfect place. The weather was always perfect, the houses were perfectly the same, the people perfectly obedient. There was never war or famine or struggle because Society was designed to take away the hardships of human life and ensure a strong, continued population.
The year is 1510, the world has long since been destroyed, at least, that is what we are told. Many years ago, the Keepers tell us there were battles in which men killed each other over petty needs and desires causing the destruction of the world we once knew. As a result, the Founders of Society created a safe haven for the elite of the population, those who provided the most to humanity, and ensured they, and their lineage, would survive.
The weather dome overhead ensured perfect climates year round, so the people would never know a harsh winter or drought. The pre-packaged and delivered meals and vitamin packs ensured peak physical health for all members. The Society-given family unit houses ensured that no family held more material wealth than another so that each family was taken care of equally. Members are given government job programs after their graduation as well so that each person is a contributing and engaging member of society.
Oh, and the most important one, the Match ceremony.
Each member of Society is required to attend the Match ceremony on their 18th birthday. The ceremony is the governments way to ensure that each couple is perfectly happy within their family units. Based on information they gather about you while watching you develop, your favorite color, your moral alignment, your talents, your affinity for nature, etc, the Matchmaker matches you with your perfect mate.
It is the largest, and most important, aspect of Society. Matching ensures happy family units, contented member life, and proper parent pairs to raise the future children of Society. Without the Match ceremony, Society would fall apart.
But, of course, that will never happen…
**rundown**
Okay! So, basically, this RP will be set in a utopian world where everything is controlled by the government. From the growth rate of the blades of grass to the individualized nutrient packets every mealtime, every detail is fully prepared to ensure the survival of humanity.
You will be starting this RP as a 17 year old student. Every student goes to school for basic prep that the Society uses to gauge where to put you in the workforce. Once you graduate, Society will designate you to a job that they believe best suits your skills and talents.
But, there is another aspect that you have to complete: The Matching Ceremony.
Your characters will all be turning 18 the day after the RP start day. Everyone’s birthday is the same day because every wave of children is gifted to family units at the same time (more on that later).
On your characters 18th birthday, they will be required to attend the Match Ceremony. The Society’s algorithm uses its surveillance (which is scattered throughout the world) in order to best determine your Match.
If you do not attend the Match Ceremony, you will be taken away.
If you reject your Match, you will be taken away.
If you attempt to sabotage the ceremony in any way, you will be taken away.
To where?
No one seems to know.
So! The end goal here is obviously to choose a side. Are you for the Society, or against it? Do you love your Match, or do you want to leave them?
(Keep in mind…no one will hate their matches. Matches are made to ENSURE everyone will be happy. So you will be happy with your match, but it’s just whether or not you want to be content there or seek something more.)
There are rumors spreading about a community outside the wall. It seems to be a common myth among the 17 year old future Match attendees, a myth they tell the ones who seem nervous or scared to freak them out more.
“You’re scared of your Match? Well, good thing they can send you over the wall. I’m sure the wild people outside would love to match with you…” Taunts and teases like that.
So, you decide how your character responds to their given life. Your characters will be given Matches, they will graduate, and they will be given their job assignments all in quick succession. So your characters lives are changing from children of a family unit to future parents and Society members practically overnight. Decide how they will react to their assignments, how they view the “outside” world over the walls, and how they view Society as a whole.
