Introduction

"YOU CAN'T WAKE UP, THIS IS NOT A DREAM."



As mankind has slowly closed the gap between its understanding of biology and the process of human evolution, it became increasingly obvious to scientists that growth within the species was inevitable. Since the late 1920s, organizations throughout the world have targeted individuals prone to β€œgenetic volatility”, from classified government agencies to hundreds of secret, corporate research projects. As a result, many poor souls have been abducted in the name of β€œbettering the human race” and creating the perfect human.

ImageStarted by a group of scientists who were given amnesty by America shortly after WWII, these men were allowed to remain in the US, free of prosecution for their crimes if they agreed to aid the US in their endeavors to continue the Nazi’s research into genetic volatility. Now the largest and probably most successful project involved in this field of research, the Genesis Project’s primary goal is divided into three parts: First, the induction of β€œgifts” in humans who display genetic volatility through exposure to mutagens and highly extraneous physical and psychological strain. Second, completely map the exact genetic sequence of genetically volatile individuals. And third, find a way to induce this quality in normal humans. Officially, however, the Genesis Project is run by the CIA and is a chemical and biological weapons research program concerned with the protection of the American people from chemical and biological warfare.

ImageMost of those who have genetic volatility never know it until it’s too late because there are no symptoms. The unsuspecting victims are usually discovered when they give blood or join organizations which require some type of β€œextensive blood screening”. They are taken in the middle of the night, usually covered up in the news and played off as either a tragic accident or an unexpected suicide. Those taken are immediately exposed to various chemicals, put through enormous emotional or physical stress and eventually, pushed just past their breaking point, their volatility β€œexpresses” itself as a matter of self-defense. From then on, further experiments are conducted as they research the specific nature of that individual’s abilities and their volatility.

However, some captives actually manage to escape, and these derelicts have sought refuge abroad. Some fleeing to the most densely populated cities in the world, hiding in plain sight behind a mask made of millions of faces. Others seek out the most isolated communities in the world, settling down as far from technology and the modern era as possible. Either way the goal is still the same, avoid being taken at any cost.



"YOU'RE PART OF A MACHINE, YOU ARE NOT A HUMAN BEING."

Setting
Tucked away from most of the modern world, the small Italian village of Livigno is a predominantly farming and fishing community. Located along the Mediterranean in the Italian province of Grosseto, on the rugged coastlines of West Italy, Livigno has only 450 citizens, most of which live in the main settlement near the port. Seeing very little of the tourism that much of Italy experiences, the town is relatively closed off from most of the world.

The village is made up almost entirely of Catholics and despite its "little Italy" charms, is still prone to the same pitfalls of any rural community, such as hostilities towards outsiders and anyone at least perceived as non-Catholic. Still, the community is usually quite friendly, regardless and those who at least work hard and keep to their personal business to themselves are treated with respect.

Toggle Rules

First, if you are interested in this roleplay, leave a post in the OOC forums to show interest and list who you'd like to play as.

This is a character-driven roleplay, meaning your in-character decisions will be the primary catalyst which pushes the story along. This roleplay is intended to be a bit on the macabre side with mature situations and some sexual themes where adult characters deal with real problems and some supernatural ones, as well as occasionally dealing with tough moral choices. MATURE CONTENT ADVISORY

01. THIS IS A MATURE ROLEPLAY. To clarify, this roleplay will involve mature content ranging from sexual situations to violence and even some horror and suspense. This is also not intended as a "lighthearted" roleplay, though romance is allowed. Please bare all these things in mind when you apply.

02. Please, be respectful of each other. "Who started it" is of no concern to the GM. Members which detract from the reason we're all here (roleplaying) will just be removed. We prefer you to solve your own problems like adults.

03. Additionally, this includes any forms of discrimination. While characters are free to be as closed minded and foulmouthed as their player prefers, in OOC you will respect one another's differences.

04. Character types will range from humans with special abilities of all kinds to just normal humans. If more people are needed to further the plot, the GM will make that call.

05. All abandoned characters are left to the whims of the GM. Abandoned characters in this roleplay will be defined as both characters who have actually been "Abandoned" via RoleplayGateway's website mechanics or characters belonging to members who have, for 3 weeks, failed to contact anyone via posts or OCC activity.

06. You must be literate. There are no exceptions to this rule. Additionally, please aim for at least 2 paragraphs of content with each post.

"I feel like I'm a pawn in a game I don't understand."
Benjamin/Ben/Benji | Homosexual | 26 | 5'10"


β€œPlease don’t make me do this,” Ben pleaded as he stood inside a small room with another subject he recognized as Billy, or Subject N-963. Ben was standing only a few feet from the boy of about 19 years old. He had always been a problem for the facility, and despite being somewhat valuable to them, he’d recently become more trouble than he was worth. As a result, the team of scientists who oversaw the studies of Ben’s powers had decided to use the troublemaker as part of an experiment they had been all too eager to conduct.

The small room that they both now found themselves in was solid white. Made of several, smooth tiles, the floor was almost clean, with only a few stains of red, yellow, and brown that probably couldn't be cleaned off anymore; and though it wasn’t particularly acrid, the smell of blood and human waste also lingered in the air. The walls were concrete painted white with a long, bright, buzzing, fluorescence light embedded on each of them at about eye level. The ceiling, also painted concrete, was just high enough to accommodate a normal person, which always made Ben think this section of the facility must have been underground. At the front of the room, where the door leading out into the hallway was located, there was a solid piece of white, one-way glass. Almost indistinguishable from the walls, it completely obscured the occupants' ability to see who might be looking in. The room was also sound proof, Ben would come to find out. The only way to communicate with someone on the inside was via a small speaker mounted at the top right corner along the wall with the window. It too was painted white and just as Ben’s words escaped his lips, the speaker made a clicking sound which was followed by a voice he knew all too well.

β€œStitches,” started Dr. Abrams, the one mostly in charge of all experimentation and studies regarding Ben and his abilities. β€œWe’ve been over this,” he continued with an unsettlingly calm tone to his voice that showed just how little he was phased by what he was about to force a man who was barely in his 20s to do, β€œWe aren’t asking for your compliance. We are telling you what you are going to do. If you are reluctant to do as we ask, then we will motivate you. The choice is yours.”

With that the speaker clicked again, falling silent. Ben stood in the middle of the room with Billy just behind him, strapped to the wall with only a pair of boxers on. As the fact that Billy was about to die began to sink into the poor boy, the echoes of his thrashing, whimpering, and struggling to get free filled the room. All Ben could do was turn back towards Billy and slowly walk towards him. With each of Ben’s steps, with each slapping of his cold, bare feet along the tile, Billy only became more frantic and began to struggle more violently. All Ben could do was choke on the lump welling up in his throat as tears began to fall down his cheek.

When Ben finally reached Billy, all Ben could do was stammer out the words, β€œI’m sorry.” Before Billy could say the string expletives he no doubt wanted to reply with, Ben placed his hand on Billy’s chest. In that instant, Ben suddenly felt the man’s body as if it was his own. The pain of bruises along his body from being beaten into compliance earlier that day, the knot on the back of his head when they rendered him unconscious to drag him into this room, and the panic and adrenaline that coursed through his body at this moment. Then, Ben reluctantly began his mission. Billy's pulse, it was what Ben had to concentrate on. The rhythm, the beating of that powerful muscle in his chest. Slowly, as that beat came into focus, Ben began to stop it. Immediately, Billy began to struggle as he felt himself going into what was basically cardiac arrest.

Unable to move, but with no other option, Billy furiously tried to free himself from his bindings as Ben continued to fight with the man’s will to survive. As Billy’s pain grew, so did Ben’s. In time, the tears he was once shedding out of fear turned into tears of pain as he felt Billy’s suffering like it was his own. Ben could feel what it was like to have his heart stopped as he pushed through the pain to comply with the orders he’d been given. After what felt like hours, Billy’s struggling subsided as his pulse began to weaken and Ben began to win. All the boy could do was hang there as Ben continued to subdue the one thing that keeps us all moving. The entire time, despite Billy’s eyes rarely leaving Ben’s face, Ben couldn't look up at Billy. Then, as Ben stared intently at the man’s bare chest, his slowly paling skin growing cold beneath his fingers, Billy made one last plea. With tears beginning to slide down the young man's cheeks, Billy begged in a weak voice, β€œPlease. I don’t want to…”

But before the last word could escape, Billy finally stopped moving and a second later, Billy’s last breath escaped his lungs. He was gone. As soon as Billy was dead, Ben jerked his hand away from Billy's chest, gasping for air and finally falling to the ground. As Ben finally began to feel his mind break, all Ben could do was scream in sorrow and pain while gripping his chest to make sure his own heart was still beating.



ImageIt was always the same combination of background noises and sun light that pulled Ben out of his alcohol induced coma. At the same time every morning, the birds gradually grew louder as the sun began to break free of the horizon, their chirping drowning out much of the other noise, at first. Then the sun would finally reach the needed height to peek into his room. As soon as that began, it was only a few more minutes before his entire room was greeted by the unwelcomed light. It was then that he usually jerked back to consciousness.

His eyes barely and slowly creeping open, only wince shut in response to the sun bearing down on him. A hand slowly rising to his head as he groaned aloud in response to the throbbing in his skull that made him feel as though his head was going to explode. After a moment to make sure he would keep the liquid supper from the night before, Ben would slowly turn towards one of the bed’s sides and then very carefully pull his knees up and over to the side of the mattress, just letting them eventually fall over the edge. As he then used the hand that wasn’t cradling his head to push himself up and into a seated position, Ben just groaned even louder. β€œFuck…” was usually the word that persistently graced his lips during this entire ordeal.

After this ten minute struggle which plagued him every morning, Ben would eventually pause for a moment, needing a few seconds to collect his thoughts in order to push through whatever memory had wreaked havoc on his dreams. This usually led to his habitual glance over to the bedside table to see the drink that’d helped him get to sleep. He’d sit there for several seconds, thinking over whether or not to take another drink before facing the world again as the sun from the warmth of the sun danced across his pale bare flesh, never wearing anything to sleep in. However, it was never a question of whether he would, it was always whether he had to strength to not do it that day. The answer, so far, was always no.

The second Ben realized he was going to give in again, he rose from the bed, letting the blankets fall from his bare form as he reached over to the table and picked up the bottle. Usually never putting the top back on any bottle he opened, he immediately put the glass to his lips and took a few deep gulps. As the burning sensation crept down his throat, Ben would lower the whisky bottle to his side and sigh aloud as he felt the familiar warmth spreading inside him. With that, he would walk over to the first set of clothes he came to on the floor that didn’t smell, pull them on, and then make his way downstairs.

He was always the first one up. At least usually. Then again, he never really slept so, that might not be a fair statement. Moving down the hall in an old pair of black, sweat pants and a faded, blue t-shirt with several holes warn threw the fabric, Ben make his way to the kitchen. However, the second he reached the common area which was open to the world through several windows that let in as much natural light as possible, Ben would usually have to stop for a minute to adjust. Holding an arm up over his eyes as he shuffled over to the small bar just outside the kitchen, he’d take a seat on one of the wooden stools and wait, letting his hangover at least become tolerable before he did anything else.

Danica/Dani/Nica|Lesbian|5'0


Looking out to the horizon Danica walked across the wet grass barefoot, silently humming to herself. It has been quite a few hours since she has been out and about, only getting one or two hours of sleep, but that was the usual for her. Other people's thoughts haunted her mind as they tried to sleep, making it hard for her to shut them out. Once they did fall asleep her own mind kept her awake with memories of the program and her step-father plaguing her waking and dreaming mind.

As the sun rose she knew it was almost time to head home, knowing her brother was going to wake soon. If Dani was not home Lloyd would worry and who knows how that would go. It has been tense and awkward since he found her. Being able to read her brother's thoughts was unnatural and not something Dani wanted to do. Also Lloyd's mind was not normal and she hated being in it, making it hard for her being around him. Though Dani couldn't help but be thankful to have her older brother back in her life, if she just now could figure out where her mother was. Hoping her mother was still alive out there.

Looking up to the sky Dani took a deep breath in as she felt a breeze flow pass her. One hand going up to her hat to hold onto it as she just stood there taking in the moment. The girl was just wearing a black t-shirt, blue shorts, and a black hat. Her hair was a mess, looking like it has yet to be brushed for the day. A few minutes went by before Dani started to walk again, heading for the house. Her steps were slow, she was not in a hurry, not really wanting to be around others for she would then have to be hearing their thoughts for the day.

Reaching the steps to the house Dani knew someone was awake, most likely Benjamin for he was usually the first one awake. Stepping through the door Dani looked around before heading towards the common area as her eyes landed on Ben. There was no expression on her face as she spoke to Ben through his mind <"Goodmorning."> Turning towards the cupboard before heading towards the sink to fill it with water. Taking a sip Dani headed towards the couch and sat down quietly as her grey eyes stared at Ben with that same expressionless look <"I take it you had a rough night also?">

Image
It was hard to keep things from Dani, which she did not like at all. People had their right to privacy and Dani felt like she was evading it. It felt wrong but she could not stop unless she disappeared all together and lived her life in solitary. Lloyd would never allow, at least she did not think so. It was easy for her to get lost in her thoughts or others' it happened often, spacing out when others were talking. In public places she would get odd looks but Dani would pay no mind to it, for the towns people already thought she was some gypsy Romani. They didn't think kind thoughts of her but Dani did not care.

Giving Ben her attention once more, tilting her head a bit as she twisted a piece of her hair between her fingers<"so is there any plans for the day?">

Renata/Ren - Lesbian - 25 - 5'8"
-=-

There were only two ways Ren woke up on a given day. She either woke up screaming, nightmares of her time in that lab getting picked apart over and over haunting her, unable to escape the pain even in sleep. The frequency, as well as her begrudging proximity to other people, prompted her to sleep with duct tape over her mouth. It didn't always help. The other way Ren woke up, such as this morning, was starving. Her power/ability/curse/whatever you wanted to call it had her body constantly active, even if she wasn't. The good news was it kept her fit, burning calories to where she didn't need to work out nearly as often as she should to keep her physique, but the downside...

Her stomach grumbled, an indignant rumbling that demanded she get out of bed. Her eyes shot open in response, looking at the clock to see that the sun had barely been up. Benji was probably awake, but nobody sane probably should be. She shot up to a sitting position and scanned her room as she ripped the tape off of her mouth and absent mindedly fidgeted with it. None of her food stores seemed to survive her midnight snack in the hopes of sleeping in. She turned and reached under her pillow, frowning when she found only an empty Gobstoppers box. Her stomach gave a low growl of urgency, which only served to upset her further. She flopped out of bed, landing among the empty bottles and food wrappers she always said she'd pick up but never did, before slowly getting to her feet and scanning her room again. No food near her dirty clothes pile, she remembered eating the cheez-its in her closet, and the cereal boxes under her bed had been empty for days. She swore under her breath as she grabbed a shirt off the ground and started for the door. She hesitated for a second, glancing back at a pair of pants before looking down at the booty shorts she had fallen asleep in. She shrugged and opened the door, figuring Benji would be the only one up anyway, and she only intended to get something to eat before going back up and actually getting ready anyway.

She headed downstairs and made a beeline for the kitchen. She gave Benji a cursory wave as she passed him by, throwing open the pantry and analyzing its contents. There was still a box of what she'd guessed was supposed to be the European version of fruity pebbles left, which she greedily grabbed and threw open, shoving a fist inside to grab a handful before stuffing her face. The feeling of it sliding down her throat after she swallowed was euphoric, and it wasn't until she went to the fridge to grab the milk that she even really looked at Benji, or noticed that Danica was on the couch in the common room.

'Fuck... Sorry for the show Dani', she thought, but made no attempts at covering herself up or even really hurrying to get out of her line of sight. Focusing back on Benji, she thought for a brief moment again of how they met. The thought always came even if Ren didn't actively seek it out, of Ben crying as he stopped her heart, or scrambled her brain, or whatever else Abrams wanted him to do that day. The thought left as quickly as it came, and Ren pushed down the anger. She'd forgiven him, and the memories wouldn't take that away from her.

"Want a bowl, Benji? Actually eating something might help you feel a little less like shit. Same for you Dani. Nobody should be up this early by choice," She said, opening another cabinet, grabbing as many bowls as needed before setting them down on the counter and pouring her own bowl.

"Also shouldn't have to eat... Strawberry Pops?" she said as she looked at the box, her face sinking in annoyance," God I'd kill for some Captain Crunch. Or a fucking Big Mac."

He lay on his bed, staring up at the ceiling with a frown. He hadn't slept well that night. To be more specific, he had gotten perhaps an hour before the visions had started. Then he had given up. He had been just about falling asleep a few moments ago when he heard a door open from somewhere in the house. Hm, who was up at this... hour? Morning? Day? He turned on his side, glancing at the clock. Well, it was definitely the "morning" but that was a stretch. Was he really just going to settle for one hour of rest? The groggy, sick feeling in his joints told him that indeed, he wasn't going back to sleep. He was going to have to slug through the day like usual. Maybe if he got lucky, there would be time for a nap.

He laid there in silence for a few moments longer, trying to control his breathing. Trying to feel a little more at ease. He should feel happier, better, more accomplished. He found his sister. After all the hassle, after all the aggravation, he had tracked her down. She was back in his life. He hadn't been able to break it to her, to tell her the truth of what he had found back home. To him, it was priority that she be taken care of. Looked after. Even if he had a distant and rather abrasive way of doing it. She was his only family... and she meant the world to him. Ugh. He was getting sentimental, laying on his bed in the dark.

He leaned up, throwing off his boxers and shirt to slip on some new clothes. Screw this, he was hungry. He needed something to get his mind off of things. He opened his door, nearly banging into the wall. He forgot how thin the hallways were, really. Ever since he had escaped, well, the lot of them had--they had adapted this... "living" situation. He couldn't say he was too pleased, Benjamin was an awful roommate. He would come home completely wasted, slink up the stairs, crash into everything and anything that could be knocked over, and was just too loud. His sister was a downright angel, quiet, and respectful, never a complaint about her. And Ren, well, all too clearly he remembered how she had snuck into his room the night before last looking for food. That had been unpleasant. He was pretty sure they were both sticking to the "it was too dark to see" story because neither one of them was bringing it up.

As he wandered down the hall, he caught the faint tones of conversation from the kitchen. A quick peek over the banister confirmed at least three occupants in the immediate area. Deciding instead to take the long way about, he went down the stairs and walked out the back door. He breathed out. Freedom kind of felt shitty. It wasn't fulfilling, it wasn't anything of which he fantasized about. Who knew where those psychopaths were now... or was he the crazy one. He was the one... wait.

He turned back around slowly, no longer seeing the house behind him. His pulse began to quicken and he frowned, looking frantically to either side. This couldn't be happening again. He tried to calm himself but to no avail, he could see his sister coming over the hill. Instinctively, he went to approach her, but as he neared, he saw that she was being pursued by someone else. His blood ran cold, he went to go call out her name... but she was being pushed to the ground, one of the figures straddling her. He stuck something into her arm, she was screaming, gasping. And then they locked eyes. In a horrifying, split second, they shared a stare. And she screamed out his name. It seemed to last an eternity and as he went to reply, he was standing in the backyard. His mouth half-hanging open.

He blinked several times, trying to feel better, trying to relax. Was he back? Was that real? What the hell was that in the first place? He immediately turned back into the house, rounding the corner to the kitchen. He looked at everyone with wide eyes and with no words, he stepped over to Dani and hugged her tight. Shit. He hated it when he had those visions, he hated it when he saw... he drew back, settled her with a firm look, and then crossed his arms, barely able to speak.

"... morning." He didn't meet anyone's gaze. His sister knew a little more about these panic attacks he had. Everyone else probably just thought he was overly affectionate towards her. He was tired of confirming that she was still alive. Tired of checking that they were still real. His thoughts were running a mile a minute and his body was shaking. He hated this "power". And now he was going to be paranoid for the rest of the day. Fan-tucking-fastic.

Sad this died so soon. We spent good time coming up with concepts but it's the way of things. You guys can PM me if you want to RP together again!

Re: How to Join Us!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm just a little busy right now but I will try to get up a post today sometime. Hope the others are still joining us! Just jump in when you get the chance. I think a rule of thumb will be that you have to wait until there are 3 posts after yours before posting again.

Re: How to Join Us!

Thank you! And thank you for sharing those rules, actually. I didn't see the part about the adult tag.

And thank you for the luck, I'm hoping it turns or we'll too

Re: How to Join Us!

As it seems that tensions may be a bit high, albeit one-sidedly, I'd just like expand on this rule violation and remind you all that the very foundation of roleplay is collaboration with others, and collaboration requires something called communication. Preferably honest communication. Hopefully you'll be able to resolve this matter privately, between yourselves, but you know who to contact if things continue to sour.

Also, I noticed that you tagged and warn about mature themes in this roleplay, including sexual content. While I'm in Moderator mode still, I'd just like to make sure that everyone here is informed of the site's rules regarding adult content and how it is handled.

RolePlayGateway Rules wrote:
Adult content roleplays must be tagged with "adult" and must follow collaboration guidelines.

Be reminded: Adult content is permitted on RolePlayGateway.

It must:

1) be tagged appropriately, and
2) be collaboratively written so as not to clutter the story.

Sexually explicit (kissing, fondling, etc.) interactions must be concluded immediately in the responding author's post and must be separated by at least 5 posts of other non-adult writing. Help keep RolePlayGateway smut-free by working together with your game's players to meet this requirement.


Finally, on a side - and less serious - note, this roleplay looks interesting and I wish you all the best regarding it.

Long days and pleasant nights!

This post has been edited or removed entirely because it was in violation of Site Rules. This is an off-topic forum for discussion about the roleplay 'Just Survive', any arguments or disputes should be kept to PM.

Re: How to Join Us!

Not even going to dignify that with a response. I'm done talking about this.

To everyone else, we are officially closing new applications for the time being.

Re: How to Join Us!

He did not. Or at least, he didn't when I sent him what I believe is the continuation of what I believed to be the rest of the intended conversation he agreed to but didn't turn up for on the chat. And when I sent him the PM he said I had the wrong person.

I have a screenshot of that message. I can post it on here as proof if you'd like.

He said that we could continue talking later since I had to leave for work, but when I came back the chat was no longer occupied, so I sent him a PM of what I believe is the revised character I had in mind. It followed your criteria, I think - original character, focused on character development, powers weren't too much on the OP side and pretty balanced overall. Which I could've done in the first place if I had realised that it was a group of former torturees escaping a mad science lab instead of a group of superpowered damaged humans on the run fighting back and eradicating a science lab (for comparison, imagine preparing for a halloween party only to realise that you've arrived at a christmas party).

I sent that because I believed that we would talk it out like reasonable people, and instead I get someone claiming I sent it to the wrong person when I sent it to the right person. Dude, what the hell. I take my apology back - that was kind of a dick move and also somewhat insulting. Why'd you even do that?

Re: How to Join Us!

TO EVERYONE INTERESTED IN THIS RP!
On a side note, we are currently up to 5 approved characters, and with @Totchocity1's applications, that makes 6 characters so far. We are not saying that there is no reason to apply. But the roleplay will start now and all other applicants may or may not be able to start with us and will thus have to wait until we get an opening in the plot to allow for the addition of new group members.

Re: How to Join Us!

@Bkfootball

So like Seth said earlier, we just don't have a way to verify your writing talents and aptitude. You can feel free to send either myself or Seth a PM containing some of your past writing so we can take a look at it, along with perhaps any other characters you have done in the past. But if we do not know what you can produce, then we cannot safely offer you a spot in the RP as we just aren't sure what you are bringing to the table.

@Alle

So if it was not obvious, none of us have taken on second characters. Mostly because at the moment, we all just want to see how this thing flows together. So no, it is not okay to take on two characters. And I believe Seth already spoke with you about your spot (or rather, non existent role) in the roleplay since he already declined you. I will say it again as the Co-GM, we are both declining you from the RP and if you do submit in someone, it will not be accepted.

This is a note to everyone: we only allow one character per player--and if we progress and the opportunity opens up, there might be room for another but we are trying not to become over-crowded.

Re: How to Join Us!

I'd really enjoy taking part in this roleplay, most of the other ones either bore me or are very inactive. This roleplay has a unique idea, and seems like it has a lot of promise to turn out into something great, not to mention the activity.

Re: How to Join Us!

Alright, I'm mostly done with Jerry. I figure enhanced perception would be pretty cool and that the side effects balance the good, but if its too much then I'll try to figure out a way to add some more. And I'll be adding another character if able - would that be alright?

And uh, Seth. Not sure if I'd said this yet, but sorry about the PM. I thought you were someone else. My bad.

Re: How to Join Us!

I'm sorry @jessthebestest6, but you don't have any stats on your account and we're only accepting advanced writers. Without a way to verify that you are a good writer, consistently, I don't want to take a chance.

Re: How to Join Us!

I would love to add a character to this role play!

Re: How to Join Us!

Hopeful applicant here! I pressed enter too quickly and might sent my character when trying to get the formatting right, so if that happened disregard it, please! He's a mole-like person who's skilled at tunneling and ambushing but handles himself poorly above ground. I love RP's with concepts like this so let me know if I can fix anything!

Re: How to Join Us!

Please! You are more than welcome to apply. And thank you for actually posting here and expressing your interest instead of being a dick and just applying. THANK YOU! LOL.

As for the background stuff, that's completely ok. Also browse through the characters if you want and decide if you want to link to someone else's history? Like if you think it'd be good to say you escaped with someone.

Hope to here from your soon!

Re: How to Join Us!

Hey! I would love to submit a character whose abilities were triggered outside of the Genesis Project and then he was brought in and escaped.

Re: How to Join Us!

So a heads up for everyone:

the other chatango link is no longer valid

As Seth has modified, we have another link for RP participants only. If you are interested in joining us, PM Seth or myself with that and we will screen you for the RP. Then we will send you the link if you are accepted. We are reaching a higher number here and want to keep things running smoothly. Thanks!

Re: How to Join Us!

Heyo, I'm interested in joining! Apparently my roommate @Echo_Rose is a part of this too and suggested it to me. :)

Re: How to Join Us!

@Alle9009 Totally still accepting people! Feel free to submit a character whenever they're ready! And FCs are always the hardest thing for me. So take your time.

@CharlotteV Glad you like it! Feel free to hop on in if you do find you have time lol. You know I'd love to have you!

TO EVERYONE!
Please feel free to go ahead and start a character if you do plan to join and just list in their synopsis that it's a work in progress and then just let me know here or through PM when they're ready. And also, I will be in the chatroom all night, so pop in any time if you have questions or just want to hang out.

Re: How to Join Us!

Seth, bro, this RP is like a shiny thing asking me how busy I really am IRL.

It's tempting me, my friend.
