TeeHee Okay, so a dream, powered 100% by Billy Corgan, has inspired me. Yay. ^^
So, now I have a setting/ plot kind of thing. Which I will attempt to explain coherently now. x33
Futuristic setting, however only modern day technology is available to the average citizen. The government has gotten incredibly paranoid and everything is monitored to the extreme. (Only certain rooms in the interior of your house are off limits and even then, some people are convinced that they are being watched.) Not to mention everything is questioned. They're in the middle of a war and several cold wars. Also, they've taken over at least half of the rest of the world.
The best means of monitoring are cameras. Only in the more important buildings (i.e. government buildings, banks, prestigious schools etc.) and high-crime areas are given higher quality cameras with ultra-sensitive microphones.
Think city-like. There's no such thing as a rural area anymore. (They were all deserted after the cloning and mutating of animals and plants was legalized.) The cities vary in sizes and cleanliness. (Most are kept cleaner, though with the help of a machine.)

Now, I believe that covers the setting, so I move on to the small plot section I have. There are several groups that have evolved from this change.
There are, of course, groups who are not happy with the current society. Several groups have their ways of hacking the cameras, but only for short periods of time due to the fact that the government usually picks up on the interruption.
Other groups are attempting to make it so that the become "invisible" in the CameraEye. (Whether that be through a material or a change in DNA.) Some of the groups can get obsessive... (Be creative.)
Another race has almost... willed themselves to adapt and now they can disappear in front of the camera for periods at a time while being fully visible to those around them - some are able to do so longer than others and some can train their endurance. These people don't talk of their abilities to anyone but another of their new race - they just know who is and is not - and they have created their own underground society including a government, doctors, merchants and, most importantly, those who can clean up whatever mess this race may have made. Some of the conflicts that arise with these people is that they can't keep hidden from the cameras anymore and suddenly appear on screen.
Government positions are held as the highest. No longer are doctors considered as important and only modern technology is available to them as well. Having said that, those who get government positions are now chosen... All of the elections are fixed, but no one can prove it so they continue. And only those who go to government-funded schools are allowed to even think about applying for any kind of position. Technology beyond that imaginable is fully at their command 24/7. They also get top notch food, homes and whatnot.
You have your average citizen, then, and their life expectancy isn't very long due to the chemical combinations in the air and the food.
And it's not uncommon to see a mutated animal roaming about. (i.e. cat with bird wings... However, in such a case, the wings would most likely not be usuable.) The mutations are rarely - if ever - exotic. The mostly come out rather distorted and you'd do it a favor if you killed it. There have been a total of seven successful cross-breeding mutations recorded that were fully functional and looked half way decent.

And I'll create a profile board once I know a couple people are willing to play quite a few characters. TeeHee
Speaking of, I don't think that we'll need a limit... Let's just keep it to 15-17 max. That good?

Sounds good... I was debating if I wanted to use Rain and Julien in this one or the other after I came up with this, actually. Haha
