In the year 2068, the UK Parliament, in accordance with a number of other similar international laws, passed the Suicide Act, following 2062's reform of the Human Rights Act, which legalised euthanasia. As the 64th series of The X Factor drew to a close, TV executives were presented with the tempting offer of a new reality-contest: In Cold Blood.

By consenting to their possible - and to ten of them, inevitable - deaths, 15 rather brave contestants would put themselves forward for a shot at £100m. The 15 contestants were to be sent away to a contained facility, where they would spend 3 weeks largely in solitary confinement. Every 2 days, the group would be challenged in tasks, filmed and left to socialise as much as they can in an attempt to save their own skin - because personal failure would lead to a grisly demise.

At the end of each 2 day task, the group leader gets to decide which two of his team have contributed the least, or pose the biggest threat - but if the group fails their task, the leader may only choose one and step forward him/herself - and enter Isolation.

In Isolation the 2 losing contestants are sent to separate locations within the compound in hunt for vital clues to solve a fictional mystery - but what they're hoping to avoid is running into the Killer. After several hundreds of thousands around the world have taken to the streets, decrying such a TV show to exist, the show was axed by a large UK TV channel before being picked up by an unknown online entrepreneur, with a huge cult following in light of several taboo productions. The show, In Cold Blood, now approximates a worldwide online audience of 200 million, and generates advertising revenue in the hundreds of billions ballpark.

With an increasingly unstable international climate, there is little that the UN can do intervene since it technically complies with the UK's attitudes towards euthanasia: although there is first degree murder being carried out on multiple occasions, the candidates have effectively consented to their deaths in the application process.

At the end of the show, five rather lucky contestants will be left to votes from the worldwide audience - the winner being presented with the £100m jackpot. The other 4 go away empty-handed, but alive. But who would put themselves for such a treacherous and immoral pursuit?The details are sketchy and the production team not exactly thorough, or of moral persuasion, but their motives vary from pure greed to career enhancement. Several media outlets have repeatedly questioned the integrity of the show and its selection process, but this sketchy outlook hasn't dissuaded our 15.

With a Killer on the lose and with almost universal access to the entire compound (except the other contestants' cells, basically), the other 14 must fight to oust him or her - but in the event of the Killer's capture, one other contestant will be briefed by the producers to take the Killer's place. The hunt then restarts until 10 tasks have ended. During their group activities the contestants are merely locked in a large, white, padded room with a table pinned to the ground, paper documents and a TV screen behind a perspex wall - we don't want any of them going gung-ho and trying to kill the others publically after all. Cameras and security are extremely widespread to dispel any such sabotages.

The 15 have been selected and they're on the way to the compound. They do not know each other yet, but let's hope they make an excellent first impression.

This sounds fantastic Shaun!

[MTVN]

Ohh very interesting

[Tom4784]

Nice back story, i like.

[Shaun]

I'll get PMing you your character profiles over the next couple of days and I'll hopefully be able to post the first task on Friday night Since the game is now technically underway, I'd appreciate it if the 15 of you could agree upon a first group leader. I'll expect a PM from Marc before Friday 6pm with the name of the leader.

With regard to your bios: it's been savvy in the past two series to keep your details private. It's up to you if you want to be open, but if something happens to conveniently implicate you with a murder then it's on your head

Oh that reminds me, I haven't even picked a killer yet. you'll get the PMs soon.

[Doogle]

Well okay first of all let's choose how we'll pick a leader, majority vote?

[Lee.]

Fine by me Doogle
