Backstory:
Backstory:
James and Caerlyn:
These two met on the 25th of October, 2165. Caerlyn's 18th birthday. This occurred at an exclusive BDSM club, one which James himself owned. He was hosting that night, an opening celebration of a week of Halloween festivities and picked her out immediately. He recognized her and, while she was watching one of the discipline displays, struck up a conversation. Within only a few minutes of having met, he asked if she would take her dress off or if he would have to cut it off for her. The latter was chosen, mostly by him and he destroyed her dress entirely while the friends who had accompanied her watched. He then led her to a private room and treated her like a slave, in spite of the fact she wasn't. She was punished for sneaking in with his belt, taught to kneel and basic commands, then named 'Missy' because she insisted on acting like a little Mistress. He deflowered her there and made her write out her contact information. He invited her to the Halloween event—as his collared submissive—and things moved quickly from there. Two months later, her father—who James knew fairly well, though Caerlyn was never told—allowed her to move in. She spent the remainder of the year treated as a live in slave. Collared, subject to strict rules and no limits. The only thing she did not have was a brand and he made it clear that she was always going to be temporary until she had one. She asked for and received it, being publically branded in the same bed she was deflowered in only two weeks shy of her 19th birthday. He took her to Venice and there proposed to her, elevating her above a slave, though she would never be his equal. The year that followed was mere formality ahead of their wedding, which entered them into married life on her 20th birthday. He married her in Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. They celebrated their wedding night by her being the one on a cross.
James and Sweetie:
Sylvia Lynn Porter was the 18-year-old sole heir of a family with a small but highly specialized biotech business. One that refused multiple offers by James to purchase it. Killing two birds with one stone, desiring both the daughter and the business, he arranged her plane to divert to Bermuda while she was flying towards a Carribean vacation. She was shipped back and the landing was never logged. Instead debris was found containing her blood, the live pilot who said she had died on impact and no other sign. She was declared dead and her family held a public funeral. A funeral she watched while serving drinks nude at the club where her future owners had recently met. She was a serving girl only, used for display and labour, but was never offered up as a plaything, except for a few times to women, becoming Caerlyn Dolor's first female experience. She was owned, but not by the club. All she knew of her Master was that once a week, she would be blindfolded and taken by him for training, much of which would occur in front of an audience. Deciding soon after his marriage that she was finally ready, he arranged an 'escape'. Her DNA was tested, her parents came to visit—and the test came back negative, ensured by James. Rejected directly by her parents, he offered her a life in his home, in exchange for her lifetime of service. He agreed to her terms of pampering and special treatment and she was collared by him and branded. He then beat her for daring to impose conditions on her Master, naming her Sweetie before starting her training in earnest in the new environment, keeping her in an isolation cell whenever she wasn't training to make her especially eager for even harsh sessions and desperate for attention.
Collars:
These devices, developed by James's company and improved upon significantly by James himself, are designed as all in one restraining implements. Hacking directly into the central nervous system, they can deliver crippling shocks, uncontrollable pleasure, read vital signs, hormone levels and emotions, as well as detect dishonesty. They have a microphone and process all speech, regardless of how quiet. The shocks are controllable from devices on their owner's wrists and have 10 levels of intensity, with 1 being a light prick, 10 causing near instant unconsciousness.
They also act as a day planner. Every slave not being directly supervised by their owner is woken by their collar, has both the times and length of their meals, has the time and pace of their chores, exercise and recreation decided by their collars and is told when to be in bed. All this is indicated by a high pitched sound that gets overwhelming if ignored, only heard by the slave.
Slavery:
Slavery is nearly universal in the highest echelons, in spite of being illegal on paper. It takes two forms:
Indentured servants are the ones who are owned by those not interested in the full practices of slavery.
Slaves are almost universally female and exist as the primary labour force for the most powerful men. These men and some women, who refer to themselves as "The Masters", openly practice enslavement. Slave owners mark themselves with a plain steel ring on their dominant hand's middle finger. Those who have personally broken a slave wear a plain black ring. Those who claim the right to dominate the group have an obsidian stone set into their ring. Slaves are expected to kneel for anyone wearing a ring and obey orders from them, within reason. They are always called "sir" or "Ma'am". Anyone wearing an obsidian stone is "Master", even to slaves who are not their own and they are more than willing to take liberties with slaves owned by lesser members.
Slave Commands and positions:
James and others like him use a system of carefully trained commands, applied to every slave. They are expected to learn and respond to each of them without hesitation:
Kneel: The slave drops to their knees., sitting back on their ankles, hands on their thighs. Slaves are expected to do this without command every time they encounter their master or mistress.
Pleasure Kneel/Position: In sexual situations, while kneeling thighs are spread as wide as possible. Hands can be turned palms up to indicate a desire for pleasure.
Tower Kneel: Standard kneeling position, thighs remain closed, used when kneeling for a long period of time or when in standard situations.
Prostrate: Tower kneel, after which the slave bends forward until their lips and palms are on the floor
Calm: Used to direct a slave to relax themselves
Limp (limb): Directs slave to allow their entire body or the directed limb to move unhindered.
Bracelet (Front/Rear/Above): Directs slave to put their wrists together for binding in the indicated position
Leash: Slave raises their head to allow access to their collar for leashing. While leashed, a slave is expected to keep their hands clasped in front, head bowed and eyes downcast to show deference
All Fours: Directs a slave to get onto all fours. They are required to refrain from speaking while under this command, except for direct yes and no questions
Binding: Slave lies down and crosses wrists and ankles for restraint
