[color=#efefef]Hey everyone! I'm Chai, but feel free to call me whatever you like: Tea, Bianca, or even [code]that bitch[/code] if you really wanted to. I'm going to be your GM for this extremely gentle and fluffy roleplay ride. I'm possibly looking for a Co-GM, so hit me with that sweet PM if you're interested.

In short, The Island is a dark, murder mystery RP with elements of being a psychological thriller. It heavily relies on character (and therefore player) choices, with the game evolving as the characters navigate through the situation presented to them. For example, if your character is relaxing with a nice hot bowl of instant Ramen, I might present a disturbing noise outside the back window. Your character has the choice of checking it out or not; it might be something or it might be nothing, but that is for you to find out.

During the roleplay, I'll be sending discreet PM's behind the scenes that contain information necessary to the advancement of the roleplay. It may or may not be presented to all players or even in the IC, so each of you are able to do what you want with it. Keep it a secret or share it with select others; the beauty of such a secretive nature is that it keeps you guys guessing, and it adds to the general mysterious atmosphere. OoOOoOoO, spooky.

I will write the NPC's and general environment that the players interact with. There will be death as the story progresses. Your goal as writers is to figure out who the killer is while your characters are also overcoming the psychological and sometimes physical challenges presented to them by their host. The point of the game is that everyone has secrets to hide; that's why they were chosen. They are all suspicious, and they trust no one. Their weaknesses and downfalls can and will be exploited and used against them.

Once the game reaches a certain point, you can message me at any time to guess who the killer is. It can be any of the NPC's or it can even be one of you; guess correctly and the killer dies, the game ends, and your characters are free to go on with their lives. Guess incorrectly, and your character might die as a result. Yes, I am warning you now that your character might be killed off, so make that decision carefully.

1. I am not here to be the GM that is the end-all and be-all of the roleplay. If you want to suggest something or debate your viewpoint on something, I'm more than willing to listen.

3. I'm looking for about 4-6 players for this game, with only 1 character per player. Characters must be adults (18+) because there will be violence, substance abuse, etc.

4. While this is in the advanced section, I don't care how long your posts are. 300 words mean the same thing to me as 3,000 words as long as the post is well-written and enjoyable to read.

5. Some of my posts will be direction (2nd person present), and some will be NPC's (3rd person past). Please also write in 3rd person past.

6. I am extremely lenient and understanding about posting schedule. Try to post about every week or so, but it's fine if you take a little longer to post; just let us all know in the OOC. I'll only move the story forward when everyone is comfortable with moving forward.

7. Some of you probably won't like this, but I think some light auto-hitting is okay if the intent is to cause shock and [i][b]NOT[/b][/i] something that will permanently change a character. In the real world, if I decide to slap my friend, s/he probably won't see it coming and have time to react. Do, however, use common sense with this; don't use it to shoot someone or break their arm.

8. I am not here to babysit you and make sure you are nice people. I trust we can all be adults and treat each other with kindness and empathy, though if you're being a dick, that means you're also getting the boot.[/color][/indent][/cell][/row][/table][/indent]
