What is up everybody? Welcome to this thread. Let me attempt to give you a brief history about the this particular roleplaying game:
A certain amount of people are drugged, taken away from their homes, and locked together in an apartment room several stories above the ground. Though there is a fire escape outside the three windows that leads to an alley, and although the windows are easy to break, there are bars locked in place, preventing anyone from exiting anywhere but the front door. I would also advise against smashing the windows from the get-go, because everyone will be locked in for at least one day. The door is locked, and is made of steel. The only way to unlock the door is to find the key that's hidden in the room. The windows give a clear view of a city surrounding the apartment, though it looks as though the city is deserted.
Outside the city is a forest to the north, a beach to the south, a lake to the west, and the ocean continues in the east. A mountain range isolates the city beyond the forest, and the only ways past it are to climb over it or go around it via the lake. The goal of the characters in this game is to find a way to escape and find civilization, though there is no guarentee that they will find any. You can think of it as them being transported to another dimension or something, though there are no abnormal creatures or anything.
And there's the story. If you've read through that, then congradulations!! It would appear that you have a slight interest in this. Well, here are the rules:
1) NO GOD MODDING!... except for me!!!... No, I'm just kidding. I'm not going to god mod either. The only part I will god mod is the apartment room in the beginning. I'll tell one character that they found the key. After that, there will be NO GOD MODDING!!!
2) Your character isn't invincible! They can get hurt, they will be hit, and they can D-I-E. The creator can choose to kill off their character if they want, though it must be stated OOC.
*Note- Characters can kill each other if they want, but it must be agreed upon by the killer and the victim's creator.
3) Any and all skills of the character must be listed in their profile. If one character gets stabbed by broken glass, it MUST be stated in the responding characters profile that they know first aid. Otherwise, I'll just delete their post (yes, I'm going to memorize all of the characters profiles).
4) A drawn or actual picture may be used.
5) There are guns in this, but it is only limited to pistols. There will be NO character that will pull out a RPG from their pants! Other weapons will be included, such as expandable batons, knives, crossbows, etc.
6) There can be romance if you want there to be romance. However, it must be agreed by those that are going to participate in it. Things can also go past a kiss, but sex will be limited to private messages. I don't want anything to get out of hand, or for this thread to be erased.
7) Swearing is not an issue. As long as your character doesn't say a swear word after every other word or too excessively, it'll be alright.
8) Use correct grammar and punctuation. Also, be sure to use proper form when your character speaks (if you are confused about this, look at a book).
9) Italics are for when your character thinks. "Quotes" are for when your character speaks. When your character is talking and uses another character's quotes, use these the single dashes. Here's an example.
"... He said to me, 'Don't ever do something you'll regret.'"
Bold is for emphasis on a point. CAPS is for loud sounds, such as shouts.
10) Keep track of everything, please! Things may get really confusing, so just keep track of everyone.
11) Only one character per person! If you kill your character, go ahead and create another. Just use ONE AT A TIME! This helps lower the confusion level.
12) This is all based on real life stuff. No flying, shooting chi blasts, or anything that can't happen in real life.
And there are the rules. I might add more, but that's unlikely. So, now is the character template:
Basics-
Name:
Age:
Blood Type:
Fighting Style(s): Only if this applys. Not everyone is a fighter, but if your character is, put the years of practice in parenthesis. Example: Boxing (3)
Favorite Food:
Likes:
Dislikes:
Hobbies:
Talents: What they're good at. This isn't the same as hobbies. One can be good at something but hates doing it.
Skill(s): Such as being trained in first aid, being a good cook, able to identify tracks or plants, etc.
Appearance-
(Provide a picture here)
Eyes: Color and look.
Hair: As an example, hair color and hair style.
Arms: Tatoos can also be included in the description.
Legs: Tatoos can also be included in the description.
Chest: Tatoos can also be included in the description.
Back: Same as above.
Abdominals: Same as above.
Feet: Basically just hour character's shoe size.
Clothing: What your character wears (obviously).
Character Background
History:
Mentality: How your character thinks.
Religion:
Life Philosophy: What your character lives by.
Fighting Description: If it applys.
And there's the character template. Be sure to be descriptive and accurate about your character information. You can have contradicting information, just don't make it too confusing.
Well, that's all. I'll be posting my characters profile, and hopefully there'll be at least seven people doing this thing. The deadline will be today at 10pm. After that, I'll use whoever has posted a profile. There will be a chance for others to join, but only after the existing characters escape the apartment. Use my character profile as an example. I hope those that participate will have fun, and those that read it enjoy it.
