Every day is the same. Every day
should be the same. That's what you learned, that's how you've
always felt. Wake up the same. Eat breakfast the same. Walk the
same route to the same workplace where you always sit in the same
place and type on the same keyboard to create letters on the same
monitor. So why is it that now, for some reason, the same feels
different? It's like you've been sitting down in a crowd, all the
same, and suddenly stood up to look around over all of their heads.
But everything is the same. You say hello to the same
strangers on your walk. You work on the same project that your boss
has told you, all the same, needs to be finished by the same
date.
So why does it feel so unfamiliar? You've always forgotten the previous day overnight. It's not worth remembering, it's never worth remembering.; it's always the same. But strange visions dance behind your eyes as you sleep, visions of those strangers that you pass on the sidewalk, those lettered keys that clump beneath your fingertips, the same words appearing again and again. And suddenly, it doesn't make sense; none of it does. Nothing is right, but everything is fine. Those strangers with the dead eyes are always the same. Their eyes are always the same. You know their faces, but could never recognize them on the passing hikes to and from work. One day after the next, one week after the next, years upon years upon years; they were all the same. And those visions, those alien images, the dancing curiosities in your head... Those were the days, the weeks, the years before now. Remembered only slightly, but shaking your beliefs, your supposed mastery of your own world.
The news reports it as a sort of plague, the same time every day in the same way; "Dreamer" Epidemic Spreading Slowly; Reports Say Psychological Disturbance Is To Blame. Isolate From Your Workplace If You Feel Unwell And Contact One Of The Following Numbers For Assistance. Everything is the same, when it comes to those reports. When it comes to those numbers. And when you close your eyes and listen to your heartbeat, your breathing, it sounds the same. But when the dreams come, they are the only thing that seems wrong. The reason is because they are the same.

1 - Just the same as always; hate
the character if you must, but DO NOT host negative feelings
towards the roleplayer.
2 - This is a semi-lit roleplay; if you think you may not be up to the requirements for this, don't be afraid to either ask for help or back away.
3 - All of these characters are, ultimately, normal people. This is not, however, a slice of life. There is a planned plotline, climax, and resolution. The only difference is that this unnatural world is inhabited by natural people.
4 - For the most part, please keep violence, romance, and personal character relations to a minimum - remember, everything has been the same for as long as anyone can remember. Logically, this brings about certain feelings; apathy, carelessness, maybe even nihilism. But please remember that, since everything is the same, nobody has noticed any feelings of depression, rage, or otherwise disturbing emotions. Only the feeling of needing to repeat the day. However, this place has also been the same for so long that nobody fears anything. Spiders are simply bugs, heights are just a part of life, and dark alleyways hold nothing within them but the occasional dumpster.
4.1 - That being said; this roleplay may start out very difficult. Your characters should start out fairly confused, or rather oblivious to the idea of dreams and free thought. They should not immediately understand their conditions, their world, or what's wrong.
5 - This roleplay will be very regulated by the literacy level of the players. That means there is no password; rather, I reserve the right to ask you for a writing sample as needed or otherwise rely on my past knowledge on your writing pieces. Using these, I will determine acceptance into the roleplay. If this seems unfair, please contact me via PalPad or PM and we can discuss. Remember; this is a semi-literate roleplay.
6 - Your characters should, at some point, have all seen one another; on the walk to work, sitting beside one another in an office, so on and so forth. It shouldn't be immediate though - slow recognition, perhaps, but a struggle to understand why this person looks familiar.
7 - Please try to stay in contact with the group that will be roleplaying. I will make a PalPad group, but you can opt out of it as you'd like. Just make sure to stay in contact with - at the very least - me. The duration of the roleplay will depend on how willing everyone is to continue; I may delay certain plot points or advance them as needed to fit the desires of our cast and crew.
7.1 - I cannot stress this enough - it is alright to take a break. Writing can be taxing, I hope that everyone that read this far knows that already. A notice of hiatus or something similar is more than alright, and I will make sure that your character does not get forgotten.
8 - Please use common sense. If I left out some obvious rule, then don't abuse that. Just use your head, think about what makes sense, and apply that to everything here. Thanks!

Hello,
isn't this... familiar-General Information-
Character Name:
Vivek Biswas
Aliases:
Nurse Vivi
Character's Age:
37
Character's Gender:
Male - He/It
-Appearance-
Faceclaim: Miyaji Oldia - Akuma Hitsuji to Kuro Neko
A well built man with white hair, blue eyes and brown skin. His bangs are braided and a old wound runs across the left side of his face.
Its hard to approach Vivek who stands at 190cm (6'2), the air of reticence he gives off and generally deadpan expression scaring off many. It doesn't help that his left eye has sensory exotropia from an old injury, scaring off most people who would try and approach him. His warm brown skin contrasted with premature grayed out hair with only traces of the original black only seems to alien him further, the striking blue of his eyes almost piercing; only underscored by heavy bags. Despite that, Vivek doesn't quite pay attention to his looks, only pulling up his hair into a sloppy regulation updo in his workplace, otherwise leaving his hair tangled, hiding none of the cracks of old scars that have healed poorly.
-Personality Traits-
General Personality:
Apathetic | Aloof | Blunt | Habitual Liar | Inconsiderate | Nihilistic | Self Interests First | Stubborn
Analytical | Decisive | Devoted | Diligent | Efficient | Good with Words | Objective | Reliable
Detailed Personality:
INTJ - Architect | 4w5 - Free Spirit
Taciturn and inexpressive, Vivek is quite hard to read at first glace on account of not showing much expressiveness. However, he is quite blunt and openly speaks his mind, often short and to the point without much care for other's feelings. In fact, most of his actions is all done for the sake of self interest, slogging through each day just to collect a paycheck. He doesn't care if his co-workers dislike him, he is fast and efficient at his job and takes pride in delivering quality service despite being overworked. In times of crisis he is always one of the first to act, always keeping his calm even when a life is on the line, always able to make clear headed decisions. This gives him the perception of being cold and callus, with all emotion removed from his decision making. Despite all this talk, Vivek continues to work day after day, filling out meaningless charts and making calls that over time blur together. Each day is only tiring and mundane, nothing in his workplace ever startling him anymore.
Everything becomes easy when you do it long enough

Add'l:
