    The Story
    Ville du Ciel is a revolutionary city floating high above the Earth's surface. It was the first of it's kind. Soon most all cities and towns were also built in the sky. Below them lie the ruins of the old cities. All that's left on the ground are small villages. In the cities, jobs for the military are all done by androids. They run defense(the Soldiers), intelligence(the Comps), and the ones that make repairs(the Bees). There are, however, a small group of people working at the head of each department as well as the scientist who create and maintain the droids' systems. The Bees are also used in public repair shops. The final class of droids are public service droids(the Ladies). They android are noted by the universal features of pure white skin, hair, and clothes. The androids to defect every so often, and have their systems updated constantly. The Bees become out of date rather quickly due to the rapid advance in technology. There have been few accounts of droids short-circuiting and becoming Independent. None have ever succeed in their attempts to flee the city. When an android goes independent, they will give themselves a name.

    The Soldiers
    The Soldiers make up the armies. Of all the droids, hey stay in service the longest(next to the Ladies). Weapon technology doesn't advance as fast as everyday items to. It's usually 10-15 years before the systems need to be changed. They're programed for stealth, accuracy, and awareness of surroundings. They are characterized spiked hair that fades from red at the tips to white at the roots. They wear red and white uniforms with the city's crest on it. their eyes are also red.

    The Comps
    Short for 'computers', the Comps collect, categorize, and update information from the Soldiers. They average about 6-12 years in service. They have a vast amount of memory to store information for quick reference. They're programed for multitasking and information analysis. They are characterized by hair that perfectly frames the face fading from blue at the tips to white at the roots. They wear white and blue jumpsuits. Their eyes are blue as well as their visors witch display up to 99 computer screens in the current model.

    The Bees
    Named for the fact that they're always working everywhere, the Bees can repair anything from a children toy to and android. They need to be replaced every 3-5 years due to the rapid advances in technology and their limited memory space. They are programed to be small, quick, and easy to talk to. They're characterized by slightly long hair that's pulled back fading from green at the tips to white at the roots. They wear white and green jumpsuits. They have green eyes, they also have green visors to display mechanical blueprints.

    The Ladies
    The Ladies are the only droids created with a female shape. They were designed to be more human-like and friendly. They work as tour guides, in information booths, and anywhere that they'd be asked for help often by people. They last about 15-18 years. They are replaced when their systems start to slow. They're characterized by long hair that fades from peach at the tips to white at the roots. They wear white dressed with a peach trim and white heeled boots with peach heels. They also have peach eyes and necklaces for identification.

    other android features
    All androids have two small input devices on their heads to replace ears as well as one larger one on their backs witch can form fairy-like wings(in their respective colors) to allow them to fly short distances(mostly used for emergency evacuations). The smaller ones can also form the visors(mostly used by Comps and Bees and to train Ladies). All androids are given a 5 digit id number with 1 letter before it. 'S' for Soldiers 'C' for comps 'B' for Bees and 'L' for Ladies.

    The Situation
    A strange mass power outage has swept across the city. Many androids' systems were damaged. They will awaken with the ability to think for themselves. They must make a choice to either return to be destroyed, or try to run away and live their own life.

    PREVIEW POST: A lone figure walked along the dark road. He had fixed is gaze on the sky. He was left in awe at the site of the stars. He had forgotten about the cold, he no longer cared that the snow on the ground had soaked through his shoes. He only wanted the stars. He reached out his hand, wanting to touch them. To him they seemed like fairies that only lived to bring light ti the dark night. He smiled as he began to walk again, with the dream of reaching the stars.
