    Story


    Most people believe Zeelenis is just an normal city, except for the fact they’re in the middle of a war. A much larger city by the name of Euras became territorial and wanted to take over Zeelenis to expand and turn into something much greater and powerful than just any normal city. The war has lasted about six years now and Zeelenis has lost countless battles, and has won very few. The city has even been close to losing the war itself. At first Zeelenis would send out the usual: adult men. However, the government of Zeelenis quickly noticed sending adults wasn’t such a good idea. They believed those that were sent out into the war didn’t have the energy or the strength to handle such a thing. That was when they turned their attention towards teenagers.

    They believed anyone above the age of fourteen and under the age of twenty were capable of handling a war. They believed they had the stamina; however, only a physical stamina. They knew well they couldn’t have the mental capacity to handle something like a war so the government called in a scientist that had been sentenced to execution due to performing experiments on his own children. The experiments he had performed had turned his children into monsters. They couldn’t think or speak. It seemed like their only instinct was to kill. The government knew that’s what they needed. They didn’t want teens to suddenly become afraid and get themselves killed.

    Over time, the government began drafting any teenagers, didn’t matter whether they were a male or female. They simply wanted fighting machines. At first, the parents of the teens that were drafted opposed this idea, but they were eventually brainwashed into thinking it was perfectly fine. It is unknown how they were brainwashed. The only ones that knew what was happening were the teenagers themselves. They understood what would happen if they were drafted, but they also knew they couldn’t tell their own parents or guardians. As much as some wanted to do something to stop the drafting, they only stayed put and hid if they were next to be drafted. However, the government had crossed the line one day.

    One afternoon, a group of teens saw a young thirteen year old boy being forced out of his home by the collar. Once he was outside, they soon saw a ten year old girl kicking and screaming as she was carried out with her older brother. They were taken away and the teens that witnessed that moment knew where. They finally had enough and gathered whoever they knew. Once they believed they had enough people, they built a small “town” below Zeelenis, which only really had small homes for those that had escaped from being drafted. They even have a small medical area where they take care of anyone that might have been injured when being forced out of their homes.

    Their goal is to stop their government from drafting anymore children/teenagers. Those that are in hiding below the city tend to go out to Zeelenis in disguise and try to bring anyone who is listed to be drafted down below with them.

    Zeelenis


    Zeelenis is a rather large city with multiple neighbors with homes that look like from the 1960’s. In the center of the city is the building where their government resides and where the experiments on children are held. The city is normally quiet, but when the kids from underground show themselves, that’s when chaos can stir up.

    Below Zeelenis


    Right below the large city lies a small “town” that young teenagers have built for those that have escaped from being drafted. They have a small medical area and everything else they had built were small homes. They supply themselves with food and water from anything they are able to steal above ground. At times, the teens go up above ground when they want to scoop around the city to see if they run into anyone that’s going to be drafted. They also go up above if they need more food and water.

    In order to get to the small town-like area underground, one must go to the south end of the city. Once there, they have to go into an alley way that no one even passes by. At the end, there is a crate that is blocking a hole with a ladder. Once there, it doesn’t take too long for someone to reach the “town.”

    Rules


    1. The most obvious one, no godmodding or power playing.
    2. Keep everything PG-13, that goes for violence, language and romantic content. If you want to go further with romantic content, take it to PMs.
    3. No, you may not control any teens/kids that were experimented on. They’re not human anymore.
    4. You don’t have to be a teen/child that was saved from being drafted. There does need to be kids up on Zeelenis and below it as well.
    5. If you wish to control a guard or someone from the military momentarily that’s going to try and take you character away, it’s fine. I don’t mind.
    6. Lowest age I will accept is 14.
    7. PLEASE POST YOUR OCS IN THE OOC THREAD, NOT HERE.
    8. This RP will take place during a time where they didn’t have high-tech stuff. Only the military people use guns. If you wish to make your character have a weapon, I’ll only accept swords, daggers, knifes, anything with a blade. No guns.
    9. I reserve the right to add any more rules as I see fit.
