Plunderer

A world where everyone has a number on their body. It's like a tattoo. The world is controlled by the numbers. It is a hierarchy. The higher the number, the stronger you are. People with lower numbers must obey you, if not that's an arrestable offense. You increase your number by completing a task you've chosen from a very young age. Example: If you chose every time you win a fight, then it goes up by 1 when you win a fight, and it goes down by 1 when you lose a fight. If anyone reaches 0, they will be sent to the abyss by a higher power called Althing. They are black arms emerging by a pool of nothingness. They will drag you down into the Abyss. There are also items called Ballots. These items can be anything. They also carry a number. If you find and posses a ballot, that number will be added onto your own personal number. The thing just, ballots are illegal except for certain situations within the military. Technology is far behind what we know today. Everything is hand labor. Flying is illegal, so even researching how to build a plane, will get you arrested. Travel is by foot or horse and wagon. The military also works as a police in this world (I will be updating personality and such over time)
