Introduction

Image

*~ ... ~*

It had been a warm day on the deck of the San Clair. The wind was soft and gentle, the scent of the sea heavy in the air of the cruise ship. Many of the passengers had indulged in many things upon this luxury cruise liner, be it it’s spas, pools, activities, or just something as simple as sunning on the deck. Though this peaceful, time had come to an unexpected end as darkness fell over the sea, the sun disappearing beyond the horizon...

The stair filled sky began to darken, the bright twinkles of light vanishing behind a dark veil of clouds, a soft rumbling being it’s only warning to the mortals upon the ship, but non heard it’s warning. Be it because the sweet, deaf, bless of sleep had took them to a different place or the night life upon the ship had deafen natures warning. It was hardly a few hours latter did the storm take the ships crew and passengers by surprise, tossing the ship about like a young child with a toy. The thunder a wind was deafening as the crashing waves rang through the air, the sound of the ship hitting stone, it ripping clean through the painted metal.....

Many of the passengers and crew had drowned that fateful night as the faithful San Clair sunk, taking the mortals aboard to the depths with it, but, it seemed God had smiled down his graces on some abroad the vessel, spearing there lives of a watery grave. Each had washed ashore on this uncharted island, be it in one of the life boats, clinging to there puny life preserves, or by some miracle, washing ashore with the breath of life still in there lungs....How will they survive? How will they keep their sanity? What awaits them on this island? What will they find here and more importantly....Will they ever find their way home?.....

Rules

1, Romance is strongly encouraged! As are friendships, rivalries, enemies, you know how people are.

2, With the romance thing in mind this must be noted as well. NO CYBER! Look lets not get ourselves in trouble people, and honestly if anyone really wanted to read that, they would have gone to a porn site or something. So here’s what I say, do a trail off thing before things start getting above PG 13. I say doing so before any under cloths or pants go flying? That all good there? Good, now lets go on to the next rule.

3, Cursing, violence and some blood is allowed. It’s a part of life, though please lets not cures every three words, there is a point to where cursing makes no sense anymore. If you believe the scene you write is too gory or bloody, and you think some might not be able to take it please put a blood warning at the top of your post, just for the sake of being fair and sensitive to those with a weak stomach.

4, No God-moding please, that is unless the other person controlling this character gives you permission to do so. Otherwise...Well lets admit, it can get very annoying after long enough.

5, Please, be CREATIVE!! Don’t make every character allot a like. Things get so boring when they are.

6, No Mary-Sues or Gary-Joes{Sorry not sure what the male versions of a Mary-sue is called. ^.^;}I’m sure I can trust everyone of this one. Just remember everyone has flaws, limits, and not everyone loves them. Again it bores as well as annoys.

7, Have a question? Please feel free to ask me through PM or the OOC. Any question at all I promise to answer it the best I can. I might sound a little stuck up right now or cold, but I swear, I’m nicer then that, as well as goofier, well usually I am. So don’t be worried I’m going to be horrible or really mean. I promise I hardly ever bite when people don’t want me to. X3

8,No text talk, 12468, or one lining in IC! Please write at lest a paragraph, even a cheat paragraph, of four sentences instead of the original six. Not too hard, I promise.

9, Have Fun! That's the whole point right? We all have a sense of humor so lets feel free to use it at appropriate times in IC, and when ever in OOC. ^_^

Will There Be Any Action?

Yes. Please click the link to see some ideas I have for some action to add, when they’ll show up you’ll never know, but I’d love to hear your opinions.

Saved Spots/Players.

Re: [OOC] When the Storm Clouds Passed...

I was the last one to respond and would be willing to RP it again... but If I do I'd like to keep it going as long as possible, I hate having post die out on me. :(


Re: [OOC] When the Storm Clouds Passed...

can we restart this RP? It's kinda sad it died.



Re: [OOC] When the Storm Clouds Passed...

Providing you are still accepting people, I'd quite like to join in with this roleplay. I'll read over the existing characters (and avoid doing anything to similar, hopefully) and try and get a profile up soon!

Re: [OOC] When the Storm Clouds Passed...

I don't mean to sound rude or insensitive, but when are we going to start, much less get our characters accepted?

Re: [OOC] When the Storm Clouds Passed...

Sorry, sorry haven't really been on lately, exsplnastion bellow.{Meaning I haven't really looked over this yet.

Okay, everyone, like I’ve said I would if I might not be on for a couple of days, I'm gona tell you. I might not be on tomorrow and Wednesday. Kind of a family and school thing slash writers block. TT^TT {Tears for writers block, happens every year when school starts back.} I’m sorry all, I know I’ve been annoyingly slow as it is and probaly ticking you all off. This is probably just a stress induced type of writers block, which is reason two why I’m going to be gone for a couple of days, just to make my self loosen up before I make it worse. {I think I tried pushing it last year, when the same block hit and...Well I was gone for a month and the stress got to me bad enough that I was light headed at times...Sooo before I end up killing this I’m gona make myself unwind and hopefully have a good idea....I’d understand if your mad....}But I should have myself good enough by Thursday



Re: [OOC] When the Storm Clouds Passed...

Yeah, I made a character, too. >.>
I hope he's okay...I just felt like adding him would make the roleplay "different," and I'm pretty sure he's not one you get every day. >.>


Re: [OOC] When the Storm Clouds Passed...

I made a character too... but I don't see him up yet. :) Here is his profile I wonder if this will be accepted?

OOC: I do not have any photos save. I hope that wouldn't disqualify me. Anything that dosen't fit with the story I can rewrite, and be versital for you.

Age: Born 1979
Gender: Male
Orientation: straight

Ethnicity: Caucasian/White

Height: 5 5
Weight: 140
Hair color: Brown
Eye color: Brown

Passenger or Crew? Passenger

Biography: On board the St. Clair because his boss wants to show his employee’s how he can have fun and relax. The more William thinks on things the more he realizes his job really bites. He’s loyal to his company though and works hard. Born in the USA and in a small town in the state of Michigan. Moved to New York after the GM plants closed down.

Personality:[ Upbeat and friendly for the most part. He doesn’t pick a fight unless he has to. He usually sticks up for the women and he is a hard worker, and will work along a side of you to get the job done, it wouldn’t matter if you and he had just had a big fight or not, if he saw the job needed to be done despite your differences he will work with you, just don’t expect a friendly smile or conversations for a while.

Fear(s): being the only one left alone anywhere. He hates being left alone, for the most part it was because of what happened to him when he was younger when he was left alone and forgotten about. He is also afraid of being left alone and trapped.

Soft spots for?: Women and children. He will almost always defend a lady or protect a little child from harm if he can prevent it. He has a soft spot for the sick as well. This was because of what happened with his own mother, he learned to defend her, and fight for her health when everyone else would have just given up.

Pet peeve's?: people who smack their food when they eat, people who say they can‘t do something with out even trying to do it first. The feeling of not being able to control what happens to him and the people he is allowed to protect.

Occupation: Costumer Services Representative

What washed ashore with them and Wearing: William has the clothes on his back, a wallet filled with money and small wallet sized photographs. He also has a travel companion patch around him, a bottle of water can be found in it, his passport, a pack of playing cards and a water proof lighter <if its real, if not then just a regular lighter> for his boss liked to smoke and he would always have it on hand.
