The Lost Island (OOC and Sign ups) :D ( )

Postby diabeticgirl on Mon Feb 08, 2010 8:59 pm

Imagine, your days is perfect, set out for a new adventure, high in the sky, on your way to the beautiful Australia. The plane ride is long, but everything seems to be going well. It seems you are becoming close to reaching your destination, when suddenly, the plane catches fire. All of a sudden, as it plummets towards the wide blue ocean, you realize what is about to happen. You unlatch your seat belt, preparing to get off the plane before it crashes. Others around you are aware of what is happening, but not sure how to react. Finally, you mange to find an escape exit, jumping out into the sea, before the plane hits the water. You take a breath and plunge yourself into the air. When you re-surface, you hear the loud splash as the plane contacts the water.


This is where your story begins. You and six others have safely made it out of the plane, each unharmed, just a little freaked out over what had just happened. In the near distance, you can see an island. It seems like any other tropical island, but there is no sign of any human life upon it. The island has everything to support your basic needs, including a small stream with fresh, clean drinking water. There are some bushes with edible fruits as well.

This is all you need to know about the island, the rest is up to your imagination. But you can't imagine that there is a pay phone, or something unrealistic like that. Also, the only things you were able to take with you off the plane is the clothes you were wearing. Through-out this role play I will be giving out events, things that will either help you in the role play, or help to build the plot.

What I am looking for are the 6 survivors. I don't want all girls, so please have at least 2 guys :D. Also, I will be needing 4 other "special" people XD. You will find out more about these 4 people through private message, in order to help keep the plot more secretive.

Rules:
-Keep it PG-13ish please, I don't mind cursing and such, since you have just about died in a plane crash, its kind of expected. Just don't make it too excessive.
- The normal rules apply, no god-modding
-I expect decent sized posts, at least 100 words
- there is no specific posting order, but please consider that people have lives, it gets a little boring if it becomes a 1X1.
-Have fun :D

Is this based on the show? Or do we need original characters?

Cool.

Name: Ralph Shephard
Age: 29
Brief history: Grew up in Reddick, Pennsylvania to a pair of teenage parents. He worked his way through their inevitable poverty and soon became a teacher, but the income and personal satisfaction wasn't enough. He opened a gun store with a friend from college and found himself involved in several very illegal 'straw purchases', or gun sales without official paperwork. He soon became very popular within the handgun and rifle market, and managed to fund retirement for his overworked parents through the money, as well as the ability to reenact every Civil War and World War One event in his area for the past 7 years.
Reason for going to Australia: Illegal gun sale

Looks like you need some female's on the island eh? Room? Hehe.

Survivor:
Name: Juanitta Jones
Age: 25
Appearance: CLICK HERE FOR IMAGE
Long, flowing brown hair, that has a tendency to get tangled often. But nothing Juanitta can't handle, if she has a brush nearvy (in this case, probably not. She has solemn eyes that glow with a nice hazel when she's happy, and a slightly squared jaw. A few freckles across her cheeks from lot's of time in the sun, and a nice, tanned complexion. Juanitta also carries a petite figure, with wide hips and long legs that make her stand at 5'10''.
*Brief history: -TO BE REVEALED BUAHAHAH! :P-
*Reason for going to Australia: As a budding actress, Juanitta landed herself an acting job in Australia. She was headed there for the audition, hoping she could make it to big time movies, rather than silly infomercials.
I would cross a thousand miles for you. I would climb mountains and swim oceans just to be with you. And if you cried, I would be there to make things better. But if I said I love you, would you laugh and turn your back on me? Would you take advantage of my love then break my heart when you were finished? Or would you hold me in your arms and say Ditto?

Okay they all look good :D
But, Dig17, can I get you to choose one or the other? At least for now, because the info I give you is important for the plot and if you play both it may make you know more than everyone else.

Sorry for the delay, I have been pretty busy. I am still waiting for the four "special" people, however, I can put up the IC while we are still waiting for people to sign up. I will post it as soon as I can, hopefully tonight, but if not tomorrow for sure. If I don't get anyone to play as a special person I can likely manage playing the role, but it would be much more interesting with other :D

So, with that said, I apologize for the wait, and I will try to get the IC up tonight :D

The IC is up :)
IC here :D

FIRST EVENT:
The Crash;
You have all just hit the water, unharmed, but deeply shaken up. Your arrival onto the land is vital for your survival. How you handle the situation from there, is up to you! ;)

I am still waiting to see if anyone will post as the special people, which are important, but as I said, I can always play as one/them.
