I have a question. You may say I am new to this place. I have had experience with PBFs before, but what I got used to before coming here- to Roleplay Gateway was some sort of introductory post, that gave you idea of upcoming story elements or nemesis. I see recruitments structured like yours, and I am hesitant to invest my time in such games. That is because I don't know if Game Master will provide any kind of incentive to come here every day and be active. What will drive players in your session forward? Will it be a struggle with enemy? An intriguing plot? Or is it player-player interaction?
I'd really wish to know, before I invest my time in this game.

I would love to join but I'm having some issues trying to think of a profession. I was thinking maybe a linguist, because I do know enough German to get by, but even then, I'd probably use a translator a lot. But then I thought about, maybe some sort of animal specialist. Like, maybe, and Animal Behaviorist, or a Zoologist or something. Point is I don't know what to go for, would it be okay to be a Lottery winner?

Koritai: You don't need to really be a specialist in that area. Say you decided to go with being a linguist - I wouldn't expect any of your posts to be in German. When interacting with characters you might want to show off and even then just simple things. After all, I was born in Germany and lived there for 13 years and don't know any German. xD Point is, whatever your specialist subject is you don't have to really be a specialist in it in real life and know everything about it. And if you wanted to use a translator every now and then or know a bit about Germany, it's easy to just research what you need ^^.

/Grim/: That is a very good question and I'm glad you asked as it's given me a chance to think about where I want my roleplay to go. I was thinking of having everyone start in the bunkers first stating about what first entry was like and then going on a time skip in the future after two or three years before coming out of the bunkers. I was thinking then to have 'survivors' possibly on Earth still that appear through the story which would cause big conflict as they weren't chosen to be saved. That was a general idea but I'm also looking for any ideas others may have that they want to contribute to the story.

Okay thanks Criminal, I think I have an idea of what I'm going to do. Expect to see my character some time today.
*Edit* Okay I don't know about today, but today or tomorrow.

Just as a note for me so it appears in the OOC notes. For places I was thinking of having 5 different main areas.

Hospital
Living area
Work area
Zoo area
Greenhouse

I might add more specific places to like 'this characters home' and stuff like that :)

[CriminalMinds]

And the IC is up. Characters can still apply. Waiting for a couple more applications from people that said they'd join but other than that people can join. Will be adding to places today as well :)

[CriminalMinds]

Oh and I forgot to add a couple of things; if you want your own place, say your bedroom made into a place in the tab let me know.

And also in my first post I've started it 3 years before 2015, in the year 2012 when people are just moving into the bunkers. I'll do a time skip to 2015 in a few posts but for now we'll just start at 2012 and moving in, introductions etc :)

[CriminalMinds]

It's fine :) No problem at all silverclawedmouse

I submitted an application but I'm still not sure if I was accepted. The character's name is Tai Kurio.

[silverclawedmouse]

...why in the world would you do that?

[DarknessofaMind]

What do you mean? Aren't you supposed to submit an application?

[silverclawedmouse]

Well yes but... this died a year and a half ago.
