Dear Subject,

As you already know, you are either poor, or wealthy. We do know times are hard with the rebellion, but we would like to inform you that any illegal action will sentence you to Rukia's top prison. We would also like to inform the wealthy to stay in their city dome. We want you to be safe.
This being said, we would like to remind the poor to stay out of the domes; poor are forbidden to enter. Unless you are a servant or on business from one of our cities, there is no exception.

Thank you,
EvolUnation Rukia

|P L O T|

Welcome to Rukia, an arid world that is the sister planet to Earth. The climate of Rukia has changed dramatically over the past few thousand years, to the point that 90% of this planet is desert. The water here is boiling hot and has been known to cook humans alive within minutes. However, animals have evolved to drink and swim in this water with no difficulties (do not worry, because our top scientists have created the H2II, which is a small machine that is placed in the water to cool it down). As for Rukians, we look almost identical to the humans of our sister Earth planet, however, many outer-city low bloods have evolved to have tougher, more heat resistant skin.

Our planet has a system which isn't too difficult to understand. The poor usually live in villages, or tribes scattered throughout the deserts. The wealthy are able to afford to live in the dome cities, where the ground is silver grass and the climate is protected from our planet's destructive heat. Rumors have been spreading, though, of a rebellion that is going to change the way our society works. Some people say they dream of a war; but of course, rumors are just rumors.

The dome cities do not allow the poor to enter. The wealthy, as you can imagine, do sometimes need servants, so exceptions are allowed. Out of the low bloods, only servants may come in and out of the Dome cities as they please. There is heavy security in place so the poor are searched and supervised at all times. Our trusty Honor Protectors keep the less fortunate in their place, and protect our dome cities with the utmost vigilance.
Situations may not all be that safe, however, as the rebellion spreads. It is believed that some of the famous wealthy families are having their children taken for ransom, or have been blackmailed with their children as offerings.

Times are hard for the poor, as you can tell, but it isn't so bad. Hunting for food has been said to be the most fun, I mean, who wouldn't want to take down a Giant Killer Parasite and a Two-Headed Roach that is four feet high? As the saying goes, "Any Meat is Good Meat." Working in the mines isn't so bad either. A lot of the lower class people choose that as their job, but it is not the safest, as some have been known to freeze to death overnight.

The technology in Rukia varies greatly depending on if you are in a dome city or not. The dome cities hold a monopoly over anything technically advanced, especially the capital. The dome city technology is very advanced, as to meet the needs of keeping the climate and world surrounding the wealthy as livable and pleasant as possible. The wealthy have all of the latest communication devices, entertainment, and advanced means of travel at their hands.
Those living outside the domes, however, cannot afford these luxuries. The poor don't have much outside of what they can borrow and steal from the highbloods, which isn't a lot. At the most, many outsiders use crude things they can fashion from stolen high blood technology, such as guns and small gadgets. Possibly a few lowbloods have scrapped motorbikes or other vehicles made from stolen and modified highblood engines, but most either travel on foot, or ride on the backs of the few desert creatures of Rukia that will let them. Weapon makers and mechanics are skilled and rare professions to find amoung the lowbloods, but highly valued.


Now here you are, dear citizen of Rukia. By the most generalized terms, and by birth status alone, you are classified as either a low blood, or a high blood.

The high bloods, as you know, live and work in the climate controlled and heavily protected dome cities, and make up 10% of Rukia's inhabitants. They are wealthy, and often well educated. The dome city inhabitants are known to be the most beautiful of all Rukian citizens, because of their pure bloodline.
Many dome city citizens take jobs as scientists, engineers, and doctors. Those positions are most favorable in order for our society too keep advancing as it does.
However, some dome city Rukians may work for our city government councils, or join the vast Honor Protectors peace-keeping force, keeping our streets safe, and our dome walls protected from outsiders.

The Low Bloods, comprising of 90% of our population, are a much simpler story. While not allowed into dome cities (because only those born into a dome city are allowed to be a citizen in one, unless exiled), these Rukians have a tougher life. They usually band together in family groups or tribes, hunting and fending for themselves against the many dangers that inhabit the deserts, including the deserts themselves. They typically dress in protective masks and clothing to survive the harsh climate, and fashion their own weapons for hunting and fighting.
Low bloods take occupations working in the mines on the outskirts of the cities; some work inside of the domes on construction and sewage, and a some lucky few become personal servants to the wealthy. Many low bloods, however, chose to not work any of these tedious jobs, and will be traders or weapon makers.

The stirring rebellion is well known to almost all outsiders, and underground organizations are forming rapidly, appealing to low bloods who are fed up with the treatment they receive from the wealthy. These organizations have a couple leaders in different sectors across the planet, but the planned attack is rumored to be aimed at Rukia's capital of Solaire.


So, who will you be? A well educated scientist from the capital dome city? A noble member of the Protectors? A low blood rouge? Or, will you dare join the rebellion?

No matter who you are, there is a war stirring, and no one is safe.

High blood; The term used to describe any person born within a dome city to high blood lineage; the lineage must be entirely pure for them to be considered a high blood.

Low blood; Term used to describe a person born anywhere outside of a dome city, belonging to a lineage of unknown, mixed, or low bloods.

Outsider; Another word for lowblood, or anyone living outside of a dome city. Typically derogatory, and used commonly by high bloods.

Honorless; The term used to describe a person of mixed high blood and low blood lineage. They are very rare, and will be exiled immediately without trial upon discovery of their mixed lineage. Also used to describe a high blood who chooses to live outside of a dome city, most likely in order to join the rebellion. Very derogatory.

Honor protectors (often shorted as Protectors); A team of uniformed, highly trained men and women of pure highblood lineage. They are the security force used by the capital to enforce laws, and protect the dome cities from outsiders. Are known to use brutal force when needed against intruding outsiders. Many are stationed at the dome walls, very carefully regulating traffic moving in and out.
The Protectors all wear light grey colored, maneuverable uniforms with the Solaire insignia on the back, and heavy protective boots. Protector squads that are sent outside of the domes will wear a hood, and protective eye-wear and a mask.
All Protectors are armed with advanced weaponry, including one gun, a high-powered taser, and a nightstick.

Tartarus; Name for the top prison of Rukia. High bloods accused of joining the rebellion are sent here, as well as Honorless who buy fake citizenship and live in hiding in a dome city. No one has ever returned from Tartarus.

Solaire; The name of Rukia's capital dome city.
