⚠︎ PANOPTICON. The cell door slams shut, the cold sound of a key turning in a lock echoing throughout the wide dome of a prison, though it lingers in your ears for hours even after it has died away. Days seem to blur together here. Save for your cellmates, there is little interaction with others.. the only other form is the one that comes with the click of sharp claws against the stone floors. It is time for your judgement. ⚠︎ - - - Welcome to PANOPTICON, a cat-based roleplay inspired by Milgram and set in a grand dome-like prison, reflecting its namesake. Whether you are a criminal, a victim of framing, a child born into the prison, or anything in between matters not once you're within these walls – here, everyone is a sinner. PANOPTICON is story-driven, with a central plot that leaves plenty of room for your characters to become involved in addition to their personal stories. Featured in the roleplay and teased in this project (click/tap) are three of many NPCs you will meet and have opportunities to interact with one-on-one – ⚠︎ THE WARDEN, the headmaster of the prison.. at least, as far as the prisoners are aware. She is rarely seen, sometimes staying in the central tower for days on end, but nevertheless it is understood that she is always watching you. A mysterious she-cat of little words, but the many rumors of incidents should be enough to keep you in line. ⚠︎ NULL, a ragged prisoner of the Southern Cell whose past is hazy, forgotten after all the moons being in the prison. Despite his time being the longest spent without receiving a sentence, his spirit is far from worn – no one knows just how long he's been forming plans, but if you can take the risk of trusting him, who knows what will come of it? ⚠︎ SUGARDOLL, the young daughter of the warden. She's her mother's most precious treasure, but seems rather sheltered, apparently lacking understanding of the fine points of her mother's duty. Her ignorance and naivety is no secret, not even the the warden – so when she wanders about the prison, she is always accompanied by a guard. Nevertheless, there is always an unsatiated curiosity in her eyes.. ⚠︎ - - - Well, I hope you will come to enjoy your time here, as much as one can. I hope you will find your little birdcage companions amusing until it is time for your judgement. Until then, don't try to be a hero, or a savior of any kind – believe me, it is easier on us all. Whatever you do, don't forget that everyone is a sinner.
