The Amputees (now ready to accept!)

[Durban59-]

To be machine or man? Isn't that what's on every Amputee's mind? In a time where scientific advancement has reached one of it's finest pinnacles, you can no longer worry should you lose a limb. Replacing plastic limbs with machinery, it will be as if you never lost your arm in the first place! Because we, at Windstread Amputees, believe an accident should be cost-free.

At least, that's what the ads tell you. In reality, being an amputee is the living version of hell. With the world's economy now driven by social status, being an amputee is as close to peasentry as it gets. To become an amputee, whether or not getting a mechanical limb, is to become a freak in the privelidged eye. A perversion of nature.

However, with peasentry comes rebellion. And rebellion is no topic of fables in the city of Lasiurus. For those who become amputees desire to become human in the eyes of man once again. So, what is to happen to those who lose part of their humanity?

Anaheim Windstread, bigger brother to the founder of Windstread amputees, is the first amputee. The prototype of it's industry, and the first "freak of nature" to the privelidged. He plays a key factor in the standing of all amputees.

Terminology:

Amputee: The basic name for those who lack a basic organ or limb, whether it was a birth defect or tragic accident. These people can either replace their limb with a mechanical counterpart, or live their life showing what was missing. Usually, the only way to tell if there is a mechanical organ is that they're still alive with said organ.

Defect: Basically, the limb or organ that was replaced by the mechanical counterpart. The name came to mind when most people saw these new limbs and saw people has disgunsting "Frankensteins" of the new era. For a very high price, these defects can be made more human-like, so as to hide from discrimination.

Script: The social standings, and basic currency, within Lasirius. A script is known for the basic "part" a family has played in the better of the city, and is just a small card with the city's national crest embedded on it, with the material of the crest showing their standing in social hierarchy.

Silver: Basically for the shop owners. Using amputees as their employees, the silver scripters usually have some form of respect, but just barely above the level of amputees. These people are usually known as "Silver scripters", due to their script material.

Gold: Usually granted to military families and veterans, this level of hierarchy is quite common for those who wish to have any form of respect within the land. These people are known as the "Golden scripters", again for their script material.

Platinum: The highest form of script, usually granted to the families of the original founders of the city and large corporate giants, these people can purchase goods just by their social standings alone. These are known as the "Pure scripters," due to their usual immunity within the city.

La Terra: The secret Amputee resistance group, formed by rogue amputees. This group has remained a rumor, mostly being an excuse for a bratty child's behaviour. Their existance has been only known due to the hope of amputees, but some believe it to be a real threat to the world order
