It was the year 2156 when scientists finally discovered a new way of creating life. By manipulating artificial genes and growing the fetus in a tube, they were able to created 'the perfect Human being'. They were rumoured to have no flaws and to look as beautiful as any child celebrity. Their hair- and eye-colour could, according to the advertisement, range from red to blue and everything in between. Naturally, rich people all around the world put in an order for one of these 'perfect children'. Eventually, 23 orders were accepted. And in May 2157, the first batch of these 'Beauties' was born. The first one on the 2nd of May, the second on the 3rd, etc. And for a while, everything was great. They had loving parents. A home. They were loved. They were happy.
And then everything took a dark turn.

On the 25th of May, in the year 2162, one little Beauty developed a 'Gift'. This boy, the first successfully born prototype, is publicly known as Zero. It was his sixth birthday party when the tragedy happened. The other 23 Beauties had been invited for this celebration, because it was not only Zero's birthday, but also the anniversary of the scientific break-through that made the Beauties possible. It was a very nice and relaxed meeting. The parents chatted, the children played... Until Little Zero passed out.
When he awoke, Zero was not the same. His voice was ancient and loud. He spoke his first prophecy.
“These Gifts of Beauty,
They are the work of an empty man.
To retrieve your soul,
Follow my words as close as you can.”
When the little boy made eye contact with one of the other Beauties, he would loose control of his own body and speak a prophecy. Each prophecy leads, according to Little Zero, to their 'soul'. Back then, nobody understood what the little boy meant. They didn't understand why Little Adam, Beauty #21, needed to find "A dame with hair as white as frost, to whom beauty is never lost. Her head is always full of dreams, yet frozen in time is how she seems."
Then the Beauties grew up. And as each of them hit the age of six, they all developed a Gift. Several kids were suddenly making fire dance on their fingertips, while others could bend the will of their parents or heal small wounds and injuries. The world panicked. The Gifts were strange, weird, and sometimes even dangerous.
It wasn't until the end of June, one month after the last Beauty had received their gift, that things escalated. Beauty #18 had been brutally attacked on the street by a frightened woman. The six year old boy had been strangled to death, despite his efforts to fight her off.
People everywhere were demanding the death of these children. It was obvious that they were getting too powerful. Apart from their Gifts, they were also stronger and faster than the average Human. They really did seem perfect.
Until exactly five months after their birthdays. Because on that day, they became colour blind and they stopped being able to taste and smell things completely. The children had lost a part of themselves. The only explanation the parents had, was Zero's line. “They need to find their soul,” he'd said seriously on his birthday. The scientists said it was complete fantasy and just said it was a fault in their genes. Yet, the world was convinced that, without finding this one 'person' the Gifted would be unable to reach their 'soul' and their full power. And they were happy with that.

Eventually, it was decided that the children would be imprisoned, away from humanity. A small island in the Indian Ocean was used to build two prison camps. Each camp would hold twelve of the 'Gifted' as they were now labelled. Light-weight metal gauntlets were made for their hands. This special type of metal would prevent the children from using their Gifts.
Ever since these 24 Gifted children were seven years old, they've been locked up in the prison camps. It is now the year 2175. Most Gifted are now 18 years old. This roleplay follows their story and their struggle.

This roleplay follows the twelve oldest Gifted, their four guards and two scientists. The Gifted each have their own cell. The guards and scientists all have their own flat on the premises. The staff is concluded by two ladies who clean and cook the meals.
Before you do anything, please carefully read the summary in the spoiler above.

I will read each character before I put it in the story.Ii will check all requirements and might ask you to make some changes.

I have also heard some complaints about the weight.height of some characters. They may be in a prison, but they are still fed. they are not supposed to be severely underweight. Please use a BMI meter. These 'anorexia' type weights that some characters here have, are making several other people uncomfortable due to personal experience.

This is not an angry announcement, just please have a review of your character's height and weight. Thank you.

And please inform me when your character is finished so I can approve it.

Finley 755

Full Name:Vanellope Westerfeld
Nickname:Vanellope doesn't really like nicknames, but she will accept people calling her Ella.
Age: 21
Date of birth: 08/08
Sex: Female
Sexuality: Bi-curious
Ethnicity: ½ Japanese ½ English
Trained in the following fighting styles: Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Capoeira
Language: Vanellope is fluent in English, Japanese and Belarussian. Her native language is Japanese.
Religion: Vanellope is a atheist, but she was raised as a Buddhist, and still has most of the traits from the religion left over from force of habit.
Mother: Her mother, Sadoko is dead, having died in childbirth with Vanellope's little brother.
Father: Her father, Richard, is also dead. He died when Vanellope was 12 and her little brother was three.
Siblings: Vanellope has one little brother, called Kyo. He sees her more as a mother then a big sister though, as she mostly raised him. He's currently in a boarding school in England.
Height: 5foot 8inches
Weight: 8stone
Looks:Vanellope was shoulder-length hair that she dyes into being purple with pink highlights. She prefers the brighter colours to the natural black, as she says black depresses her too much and reminds her of her mothers funeral. She has dark eyes, but again, usually wears bright contacts to make them lighter or prettier. Her favourite is blue, even though her little brother tells her that she looks creepy with blue eyes. She is slim, but curvy, from years of martial arts practise and ballet and traditional dance lessons. She looks a lot more delicate then she actually is, and is a lot stronger then she looks to be.

Likes: martial arts, make-up, her brother, cooking
Dislikes: the prison, her uniform, being away from her brother
Characteristics:
Vanellope has also been very independent, even before she had to grow up very quickly to care for her little brother. She is also very adaptable, and was quickly able to call the prison her home, although she doesn't really like being there as she couldn't bring her brother. Vanellope is also very responsible and reliable and can be trusted with most things. She is also very passionate about things she cares about, such as her dancing.
She does however have a dark side to her personality. Vanellope can be very unemotional, especially when discussing her parents or her work. She is also very inhibited as a rule, but when she's dancing she's not. Vanellope is very distrusting of people after her father promised to look after her then abandoned her [in her view]. She is very stubborn, and won't back down from her view. Vanellope can be very manipulative at times, even without needing a Gift.
History:
Vanellope lived with her mother and father in Osaka, Japan. She wasn't spoiled, but she was treated very well. When she was around 4, her parents moved from Osaka to Kyoto, into what used to be a tea-house. Vanellope loved that building with all her heart, and used to love running around as a child, or practising her dancing and shamen in there, pretending she was a geisha in training. When she was nine years old, her mother gave birth to her brother, but unfortunately died during labour. Then, she started calling herself and her little brother orphans, because their father went into such a crippling state of depression, he might as well have not been in the house. She learnt to cook, and raised her brother as best as she could while also looking after her father, and attending school herself. She also managed to get a part-time job teaching capoeira.
Her favourite saying is 'None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.' by Goethe

Will you actually create a character and post regularly? No offence, sweetheart, but in Treasure Chests you don't do anything, you applied for Pride Journey and never made your character, and that wouldn't be fair to the person who's prophecy leads to your character.

I know. I'll try to post regularly, but don't blame if I don't do this the first two weeks (I'm on holiday from 28th of June 'till 14th of July) and we only have the iPad. I'll try, okay?

I'm counting on it that you'll attempt to post. Do you think you can reach the 10-line limit?
