"The Game" (OOC/Recruiting 3) Survival RP

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby WolfsKnight on Fri Sep 04, 2009 10:22 am

Story:

Iron Island is a place that used to be something of a small paradise. A place run only by itself, its own electrical plant, its own farms, and above all its own society. It was a beautiful place, there were cities, towns, forests, and even a small spread of mountains along the eastern shore. Now this place has become deserted and pale. The forests have already begun rebuilding themselves, but the cities and towns were ripped apart by civil war and never recovered. The island stands quiet and uninhabited by all but the native creatures that survived the brutal massacre, and other darker things that hide in the shadows. The ruins of the cities lie undisturbed, left just as they were when they fell fifty years ago.

Now, ten people find themselves here. Each of them left in a different place, some without a clue as to how they got there. Five of them find that they were left with only food and water to last a week at most, and the others have been granted one weapon each of various design, but nothing more. Guns, bows, knives, something so simple as a wooden plank with a nail in the end. With each of these items, for both groups, was left a note.

Each note was hand written specifically for each individual. At the top was simply written “THE GAME” and below was a reason for their participation as well as the rules. And on the back was a map, only for those without weapons. The map had symbols, but no key.
“The Game” is simple, you either hunt, or are hunted. But then the game could always end up in a reversal.

(No, it's not Battle Royale.)

Her mother was an abusive drug addict, and her father was a perverted drunk. One day, they disappeared. Nobody knows what happened to them, except for Mika of course, she knows exactly what happened. And in a way the world does too, but who would take a story so seriously? It is fiction, isn't it?
Appearance: Short blond hair, mostly straight with a bit of wave. She looks tomboyish, but at the same time she is very feminine.

She wears a pair of skinny black jeans and a white v-neck t-shirt with a pair of black boots.

In the end, they were very succesful and their dad, Mark Horwitz, with John's brother, Spencer, came up with a perfect name for it: Mark's and Spencers, John was annoyed that he wasnt it it but his father said they couldnt have, Marks and Spencers and Johns, but he got a job there and a raise and worked there since the year before he found himself on Iron Island.
Appearance: John is tall for his age, but handsome and has grown a moustache that he has to shave twice a day because he is such a quick moustache grower. He wears ripped jeans, because of a incident with a hive of wasps and a truck load of thorns.

Age: 19
Gender: Male

Occupation: ....whatever pays
Bio: Orphaned as a baby, Joshua never knew his parents. He grew up in a Catholic run orphanage, but was transferred to an institutional home after he beat another child into a coma. He tried to escape several times, finally managing to do so at 13. He fled into the city streets, doing whatever he could to make money, mainly making a living delivering messages, pickpocketing and occasionally drug running. A couple of years back, when a drug den he was delivering to was attacked by a rival gang, Joshua grabbed a gun off of one of the fallen, and once the smoke cleared, never let it go. He willingly entered the Game, under employ of a mysterious benefactor.
Appearance: Joshua is kinda short and almost painfully thin, with scrubby blond hair, and dark eyes. He dresses like anyone else, except he's almost always wearing a worn leather donkey jacket.

Bio: His whole life he was forced to be do whatever he could to get money, be it legal or otherwise. After living on the streets for most of his life, he has become rather callous. This does mean, however, that he is without emotion. He has just learned that he must do whatever necessary to preserve himself. So in the end, he mainly only cares about his own interests. He has done quite well for himself in his lucrative line of work. Thus, he is rather wealthy and very well off. He is a survivor and will do whatever he must do to remain so.

Appearance: He is approximately 6'2". He weighs about 190 pounds of mostly muscle. He's not Superman, but he is quite strong. He is very well cut.

Chicago 'Windy' Callavo

Age:
20

Gender:
Female

Orientation:
Bisexual

Occupation:
Singer-Songwriter for the band, Aurora Roses.

Bio:
With a name like 'Chicago', you were destined for stardom. You had to be; you were either going to have super rich, rockstar parents who had the right to give you such an otherwise ridiculous first name or you simply had to make it big yourself, no matter what the cost. Otherwise you were simply going to have to live a life of teasing and taunting or get it legally changed in court. Chicago, known to her friends and single mother as 'Windy' (a nickname created in middle school by her best friend, Charlie, taking it from Chicago City's very own nickname; the Windy City), is the singer and song writer for pop-punk/alternative rock band; Aurora Roses, a band which recently signed a contract with a top American record label and was about to release their first album and go on tour the day after when Chicago disappeared.

Occupation: Professional Stunt Woman
Bio: Rikki has always been quick on her feet, athletic and brave. She was always looking for something to test her limits, so much so that it’s amazing she’s lived so long. She has broken most of the bones in her body at least once, but she never even thinks twice before trying again. She is driven by the rush, the high, of the adrenaline. Sometimes she can seem crazy, but really outside of her fast paced schedule she is a normal person with a good heart.
Appearance: Short red hair, pale skin, freckles. Her eyes are green. She is tall and thin, muscular but not to a creepy point. She wears a black tank-top and a pair of dark green cargo pants.

Bio:
The perpetual no-life. His school life was mottled by reports of sleeping all the time in class, he lived with his parents until they kicked him out at the age of 25, and he's currently homeless. One day he slept in the wrong alley... and when morning came, no trace of his habitation was there.
Appearance: Elliot's desperately underweight and quite short, weighing in at 85 pounds, 5'6. His skin is pale, as though he's never seen daylight. His teeth are decaying and multiple shades of yellow-or-brown. His hair is dirty, filled with unnameable things, but black under the crap.

Username: Treali Storm

Character Name: Tahira Ali

Age: 59

Gender: Female

Orientation: Heterosexual

Occupation: Wanted fugitive

Bio: On May 12, 1950, Elan Tahera Almontaser was born in Washington DC to two asylum seekers, Shasta Wadiri Almontaser, a Chinese Uighur dissident journalist, and his wife, Dr. Beatrice Anandini, a professor of Western philosophy in Communist China. At this time, the Almontasers’ older son, David, had recently graduated from West Nottingham Academy, and was enrolled at MIT as an undergraduate student.

The Almontasers were persecuted by Mao Zedong, and sought to escape his clutches in America; however, they possessed a certain sense of paranoia and so decided to take the entire family into hiding under various assumed names. The only family member exempted was David, of his own volition. The Almontasers approached Shasta’s half-sister, Sumitra, a Christian missionary to adopt Elan outside established legal protocols, as though the child were her own. Once Sumitra agreed to do so, she adopted assumed names on her and Elan’s behalf, and relocated to East Ánár Tynan (now Mutalistan).

Ánár Tynan was predominantly Moslem Arabs and Persians, with a few Pashtun tribesmen in the Northeast. Its government was an oligarchy composed of European Christians who imposed restrictive laws on the indigenous inhabitants. Sumitra (now Solara Asfah), relocated with the blessings of Hope International Missions, an Evangelical missions organization, with Elan (now Tahira Ali) in tow. Within a few weeks of her move, Asfah was sexually assaulted and impregnated. She gave birth to a daughter, whom she named Alia.

Alia Asfah and Tahira Ali were raised by Asfah without outside aid, as the missionary never married. Asfah was also socially ostracized in the conservative community as a direct result of her rape and bastard daughter. Alia possessed superior intellect, and was offered a scholarship to Tokyo International Academy, where she was a boarding student through her early graduation. In Ánár Tynan, Tahira Ali was offered a scholarship to the local Catholic school on behalf of Asfah’s work for Christ. She was a quiet student who rarely participated in class discussions, excelling in math, but performing poorly in the humanities. Tahira Ali graduated with average, if somewhat mediocre, grades in 1968.

In 1965, Tahira Ali met Carlos Hodgson, a young public official in Ánár Tynan. Their acquaintanceship blossomed into a quiet romance, kept in check by the conservative traditions of the community. In July 1986, Hodgson was appointed to the legislative body, a high council, of Ánár Tynan, during the high point of increasing tensions with anarchist rebels and terrorists threatening to overthrow the European ruled regime. The two last saw each other on August 3, 1968, the same day a full scale revolution broke out.

According to the subject, Tahira Ali fled Ánár Tynan later that day. She murdered a family of six, the Abdel Rahman family, and the American reporter, James Elliott, who was escorting the Abdel Rahman family out of the country, to avoid certain death at the hands of the violent revolutionaries. Within two weeks, the European regime disintegrated, Hodgson fled, and the nation was rechristened Mutalistan. In six months time, Sabir Uttar, a charismatic atheist, would take the reins of leadership and establish a dictatorship that fell thirty-eight years later, in 2006.

Tahira Ali took several trains to the Northwest, emerging in Germany a month later, where she murdered thirteen more victims, including US Senator Jordan Normandeau, who had been nominated for the presidency, Catholic Cardinal Srgjam Doshi, and Mohammed Ntamuhanga, the president-elect of Tanzania. She left Germany after another month, arriving in France where she murdered two women, before boarding a transcontinental flight to America under the name Fatima bint Batya.

It was shortly after this that J. Edgar Hoover decided to add Tahira Ali to the FBI Ten Most Wanted List, making her the first woman to be included in the relatively new program. The original reward for her capture was $1 million.

The subject arrived in New York City where she murdered two Americans, one a police officer, before traveling on foot across the country. After this date, the subject disputes which murders she actually committed. Tahira Ali is believed to have murdered at least two dozen others in at least eight other states before traveling abroad once more.

She has been implicated in a number of bombings of churches, synagogues, and interfaith meetings, both domestically and abroad. In 1998, Tahira Ali met with Usama bin Ladin in Pakistan, a meeting attended by Ibrahim El Ghamri, who later became a critical defector for counterterrorism operatives.

"Never read my posts. If I tell you not to you probably will anyway. If you do though, you will have read it, which means you will have ignored my comment at the start of this sentence. Which means you will have read it and just done the same thing that I told you not to do that you did. Which you will again, until you ignore the thing you are reading now which you will repeat, and you wont be doing the wrong thing because you already ignored the right thing, which is totally wrong."

Right. If and when Joshua is approved, I'd like one of the hunted to PM me asking for them to be his target. It can be either good or bad, ie, I'm either trying to kill or rescue you. Your choice.

Course, Wolf, if you're not happy with me doing this, its your RP, so veto away!

Since we have gathered a few people, I'm going to make an IC thread, and I will post a link to it in the first post of this thread. There will also be a link from the IC thread to this one in its first post as well so we can easily move between the two.

DONE. You can find the link on the very bottom of the first post in each thread. You may also all begin posting at any time. Your character may already be awake, or just waking up. Be creative ^-^

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Monroe on Mon Sep 07, 2009 10:31 pm

This sounds interesting, but since it's rather a major point, I have to ask- what is their motivation to kill each other? Because I can tell you, should I ever wake up and find myself in such a situation with a note that tells me to either kill or be killed, the last thing I would do is kill the next person I saw. Semi-threatening and largely vague notes tend to hold very little sway over people. If I got a note like that, I'd crumple it up or turn it into an airplane... Also, if they are all after eachother, is this just going to be a massive game of cat and mouse?

To WolfsKnight,

In response to your OOC post in the IC, I would like to tell you that if given the oppotunity, I would love to respond but am currently uninspired and with nothing much to go on. So I think I'll just wait a little more until someone gets a little closer to my character before responding, if that's alright with you.

Monroe. Far as I can tell, most of the hunters are ever so slightly unhinged, Joshua volunteered for this. He's getting paid and has specific objectives, so thats his motivation.
As for the hunted. If some gun toting nutcase started chasing you around a ruined city, you'd run, yah. Course, they arent gonna know that hunters are after them unless their note gives them a clue, which makes things interesting.

Wolf. You got a rough map of this island? I'd like to know how much distance seperates the city and the town.

Rei. You could always explore the city? Might run across something useful. Or not.

Thank you six.

Um, as of this moment I do not have a map, but I would be very willing to finish it. (Which of course means I have started one.) I will try to put it up later today in this thread.
Rei, that's fine, I've been a bit dry myself and that's why I'm stalling as well. And on that note I will also try to post sometime today. My internet has been unpredictable the last couple days but I will do my best.

So about the reasons. It really does depend on the character. Mika is very unstable and has a terrible temper. She freaked out at the sight of a machete. Think about it, maybe your character would be like you, maybe he would make a plane out of his note and try to find a way off of this stupid island. That's his motivation, that's why he tries to stay alive. He wont try to save anyone but himself, but he'll have to survive. And the mystery remains, WHY? Who would want him there and why? Wouldn't you be the least bit curious? That's all here is to it, it's all about the person playing the game.

Evenin' guys and girlies.

I regret to inform all you wonderful people that I wont be posting in the next three or four days. Going away for the weekend to a place that doesnt have any tubes, so I'm not gonna be online.

Needless to say I'm looking forward to reading everyone's escapades when I return. And Mattyman, no killing Joshua whilst I'm gone, you scamp!
