The news were all over the world; yet another ship had gone missing in the infamous Bermuda Triangle. The ship, called The Drudge, set out with more than 200 passengers heading fro Europe, but disappeared after just a days worth of travel, more or less in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle. “[i]All attempts to contact the vessel has failed and the ship is now considered missing. All of the passengers' next of kin have been notified and has been told to contact their local police if they know of anything that could have influenced the sudden vanishing of an entire ship.[/i]” But the ship did not just vanish. It was lured off-course by the song of several sirens and rammed the top of an undersea mountain. With the hull damaged, the ship started taking in water and went down fast. Many of the passengers drowned. Some were, unbeknown to the others, dragged into the depths by undines, whilst others were snatched and eaten by terrifying cestea; sea monsters in the shape of serpentine fish, ranging in size from that of a small size to that of a large whale. Few people did survive and made it to one of the nearby islands. The island does not have much vegetation. It consists mostly of rocky ground with sand washed up on the shores. The middle of the island, however, is an about two miles in diameter, thick, lush jungle where you could not possibly pass through without cutting down a branch or some vines. In the very center of the island is a clearing with a spring of pure, clean water, surrounded by decorative, white columns. On the northernmost shore stands a white alter with algae and coral growing on the smooth surfaces. [center]_________________________________________________________________________________________________[/center] I know this isn't the greatest piece of writing in the world, but it gets the job done. It gives the basic amount of information on the setting. I don't really want to write a whole big deal about how shit came to be or anything like that, just know that this is all planned and that your characters are going to find out the secrets of the island as they explore and discover. I will add more information as more is revealed and if people ask for specific information that I feel I can give at the moment. Nothing new will be added for the OOC, so this really is just to gain interest and the OOC will be up tomorrow for dramatic effect. What I want, nay NEED, is dedicated players that are up for some fun times and like to keep the OOC lit as well. A wise idiot once said that an active OOC makes for a more active IC. I care way more about the quality of your writing, than I do about the quantity. I'll be satisfied with a single paragraph, as long as that paragraph moves things along and has a “feel” of your character. Now, there are obviously a few rules. Everyone gets one warning and if they break a rule again, they will be kicked. There is one exception, which is an instant kick. [list] [*]No metagaming, powergaming, God-modding and whatever else in those kind of terms you can think of. [*]You can only post twice a day, unless there is two posts or more since your last post. [*]The GM will make events and they may happen to only one character: [indent]Example: Jack suddenly started feeling sick and running a slight fever. Example: Jane could barely remember what her mother looked like anymore.[/indent] [*]I expect posts once a week and if this cannot be met, please give notice. [*]If you know you will to away or get busy, please give notice ahead of time. [*]DO NOT EVER TL;DR me or any other player; this is an instant kick for being disrespectful. [*]There is no main character; we are all equal. [*]All characters must be approved before they are moved to the Character Tab. [*]When you submit your Character Sheet, you must also write five random facts about yourself (The Player). [*]More rules may be added at any time as the GM sees fit.
