Translucent (Solangelo AU)

Thousands of years into the future, things start changing progressively. But just because things change, doesn't mean it's for the better.

At 18, everyone is obligated to register for a partner. The rules are simple:

1. The pairings can only consist of one man and woman

2. You may choose your partner's physical and mental characteristics, however any harmful or diabolical qualities may result in a warrant being issued for your arrest

3. Once you are paired, there is no backing out

This system was made to regulate human tendencies and interactions and keep life as we know it flawless and steady. The Partners are a new kind of life, created and programmed in a lab, made perfectly to mirror a human being, only with certain beneficial modifications that have been adjusted to pass down throughout the generations. In this, the Creators seem to have succeeded, creating a race of humans that are part computer. Learning to manipulate them was a piece of cake.

That is, until a certain Nico di Angelo finds a loophole. Love. Real love. Not where someone is made scientifically to love him, but the real kind that had been washed away completely from his society.

In the end, will it save him? Or will he end off worse than before, torn and confused?

Nico's about to find out.
