How to live while dying

How to live while dying

0 INK

You are diagnosed with one of the worst types of cancer, and you aren't even twenty. You know you probably are going to die, and are out into a support group full of people just as depressed as you.

Introduction

The roses are dead
The violets are crying
I'm in the hospital, they tell me I'm dying


Image
This is not a story for the weak of heart- but then again, when is life ever?
There were an estimated 12.7 million cancer cases around the world in 2008, of these 6.6 million cases were in men and 6.0 million in women. This number is expected to increase to 21 million by 2030. 44% of people will survive kidney cancer. 37% will survive Leukemia. 23% will survive multiple mytoma. 14% will survive brain cancer. 12% will survive stomach cancer. 7% will survive Oesophagus cancer. 6% will survive lung cancer. 2-3% will survive pancreatic cancer. These are some of the worst types of cancer to get- yet some of them are quite common. Some people have barely had a chance to live their lives when they are diagnosed with a cancer that they are almost guaranteed death from.

Eight people, all under twenty, have been diagnosed with one of these terrible forms of cancer. With little choice, people from all around the world have come to an excellent hospital, but even with their cutting-edge technology, they still probably will die. They have been placed in a support group together, and assigned a 'cancer buddy'. They are supposed to share their cancer story with each other, and keep each other company as they fight for their lives.
These teens have every reason to be depressed- after all, they are going to die. Can this partner really restore any joy in their lives? Will they even get along? They are all at different points, but all of them reacted badly to either their diagnosis or their treatment.
Some of them don't even have their families with them- it was expensive enough sending them out here, they couldn't afford to come over and find a place to stay.










Bear in mind that some characters will die. Few miracles will happen. But overall, this isn't am uplifting story.


Characters

***It is not nessisary, but it is greatly appreciated if when you take a female, you take male too. Also, I know that none of the FC are super common, but I am very hesitant about changing the face claims. Try something a little different, for a change. :)***

The rules
If you don't read all of them, you cannot reserve a character. I'm sorry, I know there is a lot


1. Proper grammar and spelling. I understand typos, and if you actually don't know how to spell an advanced word I make these mistakes too, but I don't want misspelled words every other sentence. If you can't spell- get a dictionary.
2. Make your character detailed. I want to see length and effort. Make him/her unique and special. You are 100x more likely to be accepted if your character is interesting. When I read their sheet, I should feel like I know your character and I'm intrigued. Also, if you want a tip for being accepted- Make it pretty (; PM me if you have any questins on coding. I don't know it all, but I know enough.
3. Stick to the plot please. No creating your own fantasies and throwing random drama about. It confuses members. If you want to make major drama, PM me first.
4. This will be literate. I'm not expecting you to write a book, but for every single post I want a clear, precise understanding of every single thing going on. I want to know and feel every emotion, every sight, taste, sound. Anything. Also, please don't have your post be nothing but summaries of other players actions with one little something from your character at the end. People react to things. Show me that. I'm not putting a limit on post-size, but I will say that I want to see quality and your character sheet does reflect on that. Also, I know I say detail, but as for sex- you can make out until the clothes come off. Then its *Fades to black* or something like that. Swearing I don't mind. I use it frequently myself as long as it's not every other sentence.
5. You may either OOC or PM me to reserve a slot. If you'd rather just submit a character, that's fine too but you cannot submit characters for any reserved/taken slots. If you REALLY want a reserved slot, wait. Reservations last 24 hours. I know it's short, but I'm totally cool with extensions. I just like to know you're working on him/her, and that you're still with us.
6. If I ask you to change something, or give you tips on your character sheet it's not because I hate you or I don't like your character. It's because I'm a perfectionist. Please don't complain or say I hate you. I love everyone who joins my roleplays :D If you're not accepted, I am very sorry. I'm sure you're wonderful, but just not for my plot.
7. You have to read everything. How can you understand your role if you haven't read it? O.o Please don't skip any reading and if I have left something out or you have questions, don't be afraid to tell me. No question is a stupid one and I wont be mad if you correct me (: (if you have read this, the first thing I would like in the reservation is "Password:" then the second part)
8. You must be able to post a min. of three times a week. I think that's pretty generous. I have my rough times posting too. If I'm gone for a little while, I'll ALWAYS let you know. Please bear with me while I'm gone and don't just disappear. Also, don't get two posts in and leave. If you're taking too long in between posts, I'll PM you. If you don't speed up, I'll creatively kill of your character and open your slot to anyone else. Finally, please always tell me when you're going away. I'll understand. Promise(; Also, please post AT LEASE 280 words per post. But please post more.
9. Have ideas. I am always open to new plot ideas. If you have one, don't be afraid to suggest it to me. If you have read all this the second part of the first part of the password is your favorite artist. Band, singer, ect.

ALSO: I do allow people to compete for spots, and then pick the character that I find better suited for a role. Multiple people can reserve a spot.
