PREMISE
You open your sleepy eyes, flicking them up at the greenish light over your head. Confusedly, you lift a strange glass encasing from your body and it folds up as though a hinge attached it. Pulling a few wires from your body, you step from the raised bed, taking a step back. Your eyes flit over the strange, advanced pod. It seemed like something you had seen in your favourite Sci-Fi films, and you rub your hands over the red marks the vital sign suction cups caused. Your muscles and knees feel weak, but a doctor comes in and carries you away from the small, cubular room, holding you gently and speaking to you calmly. He tells you there was a nuclear bomb, and you’re now safe and sound and completely rid of your radiation. After a few weeks of intensive physio therapy, you feel just as good as you ever did, if not better! You are then assigned a room, and in that room waits a person. You are both given a goal: procreation. You can’t help but feel your stomach turn in uneasiness as you stare at them, wondering if you could even possibly like them as a person.
SETTING
You live in a secluded, underground civilization aptly named as Civilization 9. This environment is completely sustainable on it’s own, as it is impossible to leave the facility without exploding in a beautiful rainbow of radiated death chunks. The station runs on a principal of communism, but everyone 14 and over is asked to apply for work at a store of their choosing, simply to keep everything running smoothly underground. Persons of the age of 16 and over are roomed with a spouse of whom they are meant to procreate with. If you are under 16, you live in an orphanage wing and are expected to at least attempt to forge a friendship with the person who will become your spouse in the future. All pairings will be biological male/female, but romance outside your marriages are possible between any genders. We do not judge. However, adultery is frowned upon and if you happen to make a baby with someone outside of your marriage the pregnancy will be terminated.
SCIENTIST
Out of all of the habitats, you have been chosen to enter the one of Dr. Robert Ivers. He is a rather odd little man, aging at about 57. You may sometimes see him walking about the facility, but he will certainly not interact with you first. It is not that he feels he is better than you, but simply the other way around. He chooses the marriages based on compatible features with each person, hoping to improve the human race by creating attractive, strong and intelligent people. He will only speak with you if you ask him a question while he is in his office and speak through the speaker in the door so that you do not see him. Also, he really does not have any tolerance for cheaters, thanks to his late wife. No one exactly knows the circumstances of her death.
OTHER THINGS TO KNOW
Ro9 is a panfandom roleplay taking place in a post apocalyptic planet Earth in a an enforced, self-sustaining underground civilization. Its main plot point is the idea of arranged marriage to repopulate the human race. It is adapted from the former and short lived tumblr community ruleof9s by its original premise writer and a new team of mods. Here's hoping to a successful second life!
Though this RP operates on heterosexual pairings and baby-making, this does not mean that we condone homophobia or encourage rape scenarios. The premise is simply driven by a heterosexual, bigoted old man who see human lives only as fodder to create new life and that your characters should fulfill their purpose as such. The views of the character do not reflect the views of the mods in any way, shape or form. Players are encouraged to go about their assigned pairings exactly how they choose - Whether they take on the task and begin to warm up with their assigned lover or begin something extramarital is entirely up to the player. Dr. Ivers will not be happy about cheaters, however, but this is simply part of a plot device to create the occasional bit of drama. You know, for funsies. What's a good RP plot without a few drama bombs?
