AU Name: Science Fiction AU
Warning: Yes possibly, depending on an individual's definition of "dark." Putting into consideration the plot you are about to read, do expect to see violence, xenophobia and potential end of the world scenarios. However, these occurences will be sparse and therefore rpers are essentially playing a futuristic version of their original character.
Plot or Explanation of AU:
~~~
Sometime in the near future Earthlings have made contact with extraterrestrial lifeforms from other galaxies and have developed steady relations with them. (Possibly being dependent on each other for certain materials such as resources and protection) Along with making communication with outsiders, Artificial Intelligence has advanced significantly to the point that certain forms of technology have become self-aware, but are still for the most part employed as servants for humans.
However, life isn't a great as it seems. Due to difficulties on their native homes, more and more extraterrestrials have begun to take residence on Earth, causing commotion amongst the humans due to fear of competition and overpopulation. Some humans don't even like the presence of foreigners on their planet and discriminate against these outsiders, slowly causing relations to turn for the worse. Meanwhile, the machines have begun to question their sentience and are starting to realize that they don't need to be dependent on humans anymore, thus are growing tired of being treated like second class citizens, resulting them to grow bitter against humans and slowly begin to plot against them...

Additional Information:
The setting will most likely be Earth based in order to avoid similarities to franchises like Star Wars, Star Trek, Star Fox...you get the idea. However, things such as occasional space travel will be allowed, but Earth will be the setting primarily.
-The setting itself will most likely be a futuristic megacity. The super clean kind with towering skyscrapers, flying cars..etc. Some examples would include these:
Click Me!
Click Me!
Click Me!
-As far as technology goes, it should fit the futuristic stereotype. (Like flying cars, intelligent/sentient AI, spacecrafts, machines designed to make human life easier.) Feel free to go nuts!
-Also putting Feli's suggestion into consideration, I was considering allowing the option of humans having some sort of ability that would give them an advantage over artificial intelligence and extraterrestrial aside from claiming superiority. (And making them more interesting for people to avoid an influx of machines and outsiders) A few examples would include enhanced senses, speed, strength and longevity, giving them an edge over average humans. This could be done by cybernetics, eugenics or even mutation. Possibly an option for wealthier families?
Possible sub-boards:
Setting: The location of this universe-as of now, is set to take stage in a fictious New York City like megatroplis in the 26th century. (The year 2514 to be exact) In regards to specific locations, (Such as boroughs and important landmarks) sub-boards would be separated by borough and listing of more specific locations in the description.
Kitakima (Manhattan):
Ostdale (Bronx):
A major megapolis like city would be the main hub for all the action; as far as other places, maybe slums/impoverished neighborhoods that foreigners and unemployed AI call home. Also maybe factories were machines are created and dumps where all of the pollution from creating machinery is dispersed. Otherwise aside from the usual skyscraping highways and flying automobiles, it should be as the same as any major city. (ex. Apartments, neighborhoods, stores and malls for shopping etc.)
Mini-Profile Specifics:
Name: (Sometimes people who don’t be siblings will change their last name….besides Names are good)
Age: (in human years since it’s not Nationverse!)
Species: (Are they a human, AI, extraterrestrial or something completely different?)
Powers: (What kind of abilities does your character have?)
Appearance: (clothes, physical appearance, items etc.…)
Personality Changes/Quirks: (what's the difference between them normally and them in this setting? This can be done as bullets or a list rather than in paragraph form)
Backstory: (how did they get where they are today?)
Relationships: (Not just romantic, if they have friends or enemies, they go here too)
Other Things Worth mentioning: (Again, it can be a bulleted list instead of a paragraph)
