Net Sub-Plot #1

[<< NINE]

If you'd like to be involved in this sub-plot, just post in here with which role you'd like your character to fill. There's no form, just give us a little something about who your character's going to be and how they'll fill the position.

Time to Breathe

_{I'm not quite sure how I got here.
A minute passed and I'm on my feet.
I never knew life could taste so good.
I need a little minute, just a moment to breathe.}

[/i]

Those who know these sorts of things are aware of the fact that Eden is curious about the Resistance and life on the outside of the Net. They're still trying to figure out what to do about it, and there is another group of people who've taken advantage of the fact that the government is a little distracted. These people remember the real world, they remember living in it, and they want to go back. They'd like nothing more than to help Eden achieve her goal of discovering what the world is like, and hope that if they could, she'd help them find out a way to project themselves back into the world they came from...

_{I'm not quite sure when I woke up.
The night flew by as I lay asleep.
Who ever knew life could feel so good?
I need another minute.
Just a moment to breathe.}

But while Eden manages to avoid the ever-watching eye of the government, this group of people (who have begun referring to themselves by the codename Renaissance) is afraid that if they try to contact her, the government will find out (which is probably true). So they watch, and wait, and exchange coded messages, hoping that their chance comes before something happens to Eden or the government finds them out...

_{Wouldn't it be the best damn day if we all took time to breathe?
Just one stolen paragraph in the book's written history.
Don't you sometimes wonder why people are afraid to smile?
Don't look down we're gonna come around and it always come to back, crack of time eventually.
Just ascend with me.}

I haven't figured out a name or a definitive personality yet, but I'd like to apply for the leader position.

So far, I've gathered that he (as that's the gender I chose) is calculating, rational, highly inquisitive, social, courageous, and intelligent, yet his life has been marred by some sort of past tragedy. (I was thinking something along the lines of death of a family member, bad childhood, abuse, etc.) The flip side is his cautious nature, occasional indecisiveness (which has lately become more frequent), quick temper (he has improved on harnessing it), claustrophobia, depression (he hides it), insomnia, and a few other negative aspects which I haven't thought of yet. He of course wants nothing more than to find a way out of the Net, which is the reason he founded the group now codenamed "Renaissance." He had connections, and knew several people who felt the same way about the Net that he did. The name of the group was partially influenced by his interest in history. He's cautiously avoiding a direct confrontation with the government before they can figure a way to project themselves back into the real world, which is where, with the help of the rest of the Renaissance, he got the idea to send encrypted or coded messages to Eden.

(If anything seems inconsistent with the plot, I'll modify it immediately. Specifically, I'm referring to the claustrophobia, depression, and insomnia. Since they aren't technically life-threatening conditions, I assumed they'd be permitted. While depression can make people suicidal, his isn't that serious and won't drive him to that.)

I love it! I can't wait to see his character!
