Deserted::. A Post-Apocalyptic HM RP [O/A || (2/3)]

[Andrew Pottsy]

People said it would happen, and it did. Everyone tried to prevent it but it was just too late. The planet Earth is gone; uninhabitable by any living thing. The atmosphere is gone, flora and fauna all dead; all that's left of the once blue planet is now a hardened shell of desert crust unable to sustain life. By a miracle you find yourself on a deserted island of another planet with nine people you met only days ago, all wondering how you were lucky enough to survive the crash.

Welcome to the Island of the New World, hope you'll survive another day because there's no going back.

Our story isn't finished; it's only begun but I can tell you how it all started.

Panic arose when every nation's leaders declared states of emergency. 2012 had always been a superstition, paranoia by the crazy people but always in the back of everyone's mind. We were past 2012 but it didn't stop people from being afraid. When the news broke out that the world really was going to end, chaos erupted everywhere. Grocery stores sold out within days, people quit their jobs and took out all their money from the banks; it was a huge disaster on top of the immanent one to come. Space travel was a relatively new invention still; not many knew much about it and those that did had limited knowledge as it was.

Predictions said Earth's atmosphere and ecosystem could only hold out for so much longer and a radical plan was sent underway. The idea had only been tossed around by scientists and there was no conclusive data to back it up but there was little choice otherwise. The governments of every country agreed that settlement of another planet would be the only way to keep mankind alive and that the construction of long-range space shuttles would begin immediately. You couldn't even count how many were made and each one could hold several thousand people and animals each. Natural disasters were becoming more violent by the day. As it neared the designated day to leave Earth forever, a incredibly violent earthquake shook the whole planet. Many of the ships had been damaged beyond quick repair, it would take too long to get them working again.

As many people as possible were piled into the remaining handful of ships on that fateful day. The mix of so many emotions was stifling as we awaited our fate. Upon taking off, all the remaining ships made it into space safely and headed towards Mars. As if our luck couldn't get any worse, what looked like a large black hole appeared and sucked the ships in; only our ship made it through intact and crash landed on an unknown planet on a deserted island. It's day one and hopefully we'll all survive.

General
1. Gaia ToS. Follow it.
2. Keep your cybering out. Romance is fine, children might come later depending on how far this goes but if it's starts getting hot and heavy then time-skip.
3. Limit 2 Characters per person. Even ratio of males to females.
4. To join, fill out the reserve form and PM it to me titled: "Boarding Pass For One Please!" after that you've got up to 48 hours to fill out a full profile for that role and PM that to me titled your character's name and their stereotypical role. Ex. "Zaiden Zakii the Loner" If you don't send me the profile within 48 hours I'll unreserve the role and anyone else can grab it.

Characters
1. Pick a "Stock Character" from the list to use as your "Role Title." Expand on them a little to make them your own; you can even mix and match a few traits from the list. Example: The Loner, The Quiet Bookworm, The Genius, Etc. Don't use one someone else has already. We can't have five loners, a leader, and the shy person.
2. Your character's personality should be synonymous with their role. If they're the leader, make them leader-like. If they're the spoiled rich one then act spoiled and selfish. Make sure you put some depth into it though; why are they selfish? Why do they prefer to be alone. Try to stay away from cliche backgrounds though; we don't want Mary-Sue's
3. Your characters can't know everything about another character, the new planet or anything else unless they've seen it, experienced it, or have been told. They're human, keep them that way.
4. After choosing a "Role" you'll pick a job for your character. Jobs may change as the colonists settle down on the new planet and life becomes easier. This will likely be decided in the OoC or roleplayed out In-Character.
5. To start off with, there will only be 10 total characters. However, if you want to make a character that has come along with a child that's fine. The child won't count as one of the 10, as they are under aged, but it will count as your two characters unless you can convince me otherwise that you can handle another. You still have to fill out a separate profile for them and give them a job. Children are restricted from hunting.

Roleplaying
1. Be Radical; New ideas/Minor Plot Twists are great. Run it by everyone in the OoC if it might have a huge effect.
2. Each day will be split up into three parts, look for it in the title of the thread. (1/3 means morning, 2/3 means noon/early afternoon, 3/3 means evening/late night so settle down and get ready for a day change.) A mini-announcement will be posted when the day's change including a mini summary of the previous day, the current weather and anything else necessary at the time.
3. Participation is key to keeping this both interesting and running. Don't join and then leave. Between 2-3 paragraphs are ideal, little less or more is ok once in a while. We don't want one-liners and we don't want novels.
4. Don't start a conversation with someone when you know that you'll be going camping or whatever for the next three days. Stick your characters where they're not in the way of the RP flow while you're gone. Also, let me know you'll be gone. 1 week without posting and you're gone, with or without a warning depending on how I feel.

Thread is under construction and is accepting reservations.

October 1st, 2012
Thread is complete, open, and waiting for members.

Two positions left up for grabs. If anyone present in the RP wishes for a second character that it an adult, tell me now either via PM or in the OoC before they get filled up. It's also been decided there will be natives to the planet that will eventually find the colonists but positions for those will be on hold until the RP progresses more. There may be a few more children roles filled as well.
