Setting
This future is not a beautiful one. The skies red gray with clouds. Sunlight barely filters through the clouds, and when it does, it only serves to illustrate how bleak the streets have become. Homes stand caked in dust, buildings dirty and marred by lack of upkeep. Inside homes, families cower, and pollution and worse litters the streets. On the bright side, there is plenty of food to go around. The darker side, though, is that the food, along with every other resource, is allocated by the Robots. The Lords of the land, the robots maintain their oppressive regime through a monolithic spire in the middle of the city. From the top floor, a ring of red glows through the clouds. Some say, on the colder nights, you can feel the piercing of the robots looking down on you. You can't see them, but it is certain that they can see you.
Humanity's last hope lies in The Escapist, and elite group of warriors who act as a foil to the robot overlords. Although not at all numerous, The Escapist is a series of highly talented, highly influential group. Their will, and their force, will be pitted against the Robot Overlord. The glowing mote in the clouds bears down on you, how you answer that electronic eye is your imperative. All you know, is that it must be stopped.
You are an Escapist, fighting against the tyranny that is the Robot Suppressors. Either as a captive inside the Robot Cell, a slave in the Robot Construction Plant, or a free fighter on the outside of the spire, it is up to you to crush the regime of NinjOS.
Rules
You are you. You must act as yourself, and no one but yourself. Should you encounter any characters during your progress around/through the spire, you cannot affect their character in any major way (make them change position, lose an appendage, or anything equally drastic), although you may have them speak to your character, and perhaps engage in battle where they are not seriously hurt (only if the battle is in a shared area, though).
Generally speaking, your first post should show your character's attributes, skills, brief physical description, and personality description. In case someone was to need to sit behind your character, if even just for dialog. If you character would flight rather than fight, that is an important detail to note for other RPers.
Outside of that, do not begin or end any fight with another character in the area, or against another character in the same post, nor majorly hamper any other RPer's character unless a previous arrangement with that character has been worked out to that effect.
Otherwise, have fun. Let's see where this goes.
Bonus Rule #1:
This RP, since inspired by a movie idea, would be rather curious in script format. So, make all posts in script format.
Bonus Rule #2:
Any and all Robot avatars/users are allowed to join the side of the Robots or The Escapists. Perhaps having an antagonist that isn't NinjOS could be entertaining. Any players joining as a Robot will need to contact me via PMs, and authorization permitting, will be joining as a host. Please do not alter your avatar to be that of a robot. (Should you wish to join as a Robot despite not being so, please PM me so that you may be written in as a "Robot Sympathizer." I'm limiting this number to five, so get these in quickly.
[sup]Footnote: This is my first hosted RP, so I may not be completely full-speed at first. Apologies for as much, but I'm familiar with the layout for RPs, so I do not think I will do too badly. Have some patience if I screw up though, unlike NinjOS, I am but human.[/sup]
That being said, let's show this get on the road.
The clouds rumble as the spire glows a bright, angry red.
NinjOS - "The humans conspire against us. I know it is true, I can sense it from their thoughts. Humans, pitiful, but persistent. My robot hoards will show them, though. They'll see that the day has no light, and that their 'resistance' shall be cut to pieces."
