Lost World: The Lost Expedition




Ten years ago, an expedition of little renown was led by a man known as Henry Coswall. A man known infamously in academic circles as a crackpot who seemed convinced that there was one last piece of land that seemed to exist that remained undiscovered to humanity. A place he called the Lost World. He used the last of his funds to fund an expedition to find this lost world, and both he and his team ventured to South America. Never to be seen again, and it is guessed they died on Henry's mad quest.

But why should you care, you ask? Simple, while I am not interested in Henry's mission or seeking to confirm if he did find his lost world. What I do care about is that my mother was hired by him and went missing. Maybe dead somewhere in the jungles of the Amazon. I want to know what happened to my mother and what her fate was.

After painstaking research into what I could find of Henry's works. I found the route that Henry and his team took in South America, and while I could do this alone. I remembered how I was not the only one who lost a parent or someone close to Henry's obsession.

This is where you come in and why I am contacting you. I know you are like me and had someone close on Henry's expedition when they disappeared. Which is why I am inviting you to this expedition to find out what really happened to our loved ones. But I should warn you that if I am correct about what I have found about Henry's quest. It may be dangerous, and I cannot say when we will return from this. But if you want to know for sure what happened to our loved ones. Then meet me at this address, and I will fill you in on what I know, and we will find out the truth, and I hope to see you there.

While the group is unaware of what they will truly find in their quest. Taking them from South America to someplace else entirely, braving the dangers of this Lost World. If they can find the truth of the lost expedition. Finding out more than they initially thought about the Lost World that Henry sought to find. Will they survive and find the truth, or become lost like Henry's expedition? Only time will tell.

Rules:
1. Expected to follow standard site rules
2. No godmodding or powergaming or etc...
3. No OP characters
4. A max of two characters
5. Minimum of two paragraphs


Overview

Hello and welcome to the rp. So in this rp set in 2026. You will be playing a member of an expedition who lost someone close who was in Henry Coswall's lost expedition and seeks to find out what the expedition's true fate was. Which the player characters will find themselves in what seems like another world where dinosaurs still exist, along with other things. Like a sentient race native to the Lost World and other humans.

Near the start of the player characters' journey to find what happened to Henry Coswall's expedition will discover an intact but abandoned tree house. That will be the player characters' base during their stay in the Lost World. Along with having clues to what their next step will be. Which I will be allowing players to choose where to go during the plot, out of the options I give in IC, and if no one can decide, then I will pick where to go plot-wise.

Now, when it comes to the player characters. You can make what you want as long as they are willing to go on the expedition, and once they have been accepted and the IC launched. I will talk to you about your character's missing loved one and how they will be discovered during the rp. Who can be anything like a parent, partner, child, a relative, or just someone your character cared about. Also, for character pics, either a real-life claim or a drawn one. No anime pictures.

I will also list locations and info about the Lost World in the OOC as the RP progresses, as the player characters discover more of the Lost World.

That is it, and if anyone has any questions, then feel free to ask.

Lost World

Empty for now

Nice to see interest, and I have finished my CS, so people can see what a CS for this rp can look like if anyone needs any pointers. Along with asking me about it as well.

That and I have edited the OOC a bit since I realized I missed some stuff.

Well, the IC will start when I get enough completed CSes. But, since it has been nearly a week and nothing... I am not sure this rp will have an IC.

It is fine but it seems this rp idea is not gaining ground so, I may have to end it here. Unless new people show up.

Missing Loved One
Cooper Sim - Younger brother


Background
Wade was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska to Korean immigrants Daewon Lee and Yujin Lee (nรฉe Oh) as the eldest of the two boys; his brother Cooper was born three years after him. Both Wade and Cooper were outdoorsy growing up, joining the local Boy Scout chapter, got involved in after school sports (Wade with football, Cooper with swimming), and joined their parents in camping out in the Alaskan wilderness before the family moved south to Houston, Texas. Wade enlisted in the Marine Corps and then used his service benefits to attend Texas A&M. Cooper, being academically gifted, was able to get a scholarship to UC Berkeley and graduated with a BS in biology, using it as a foundation to be a paleontologist.

Despite being apart by multiple states, the brothers still maintain contact with each other, Cooper even flew all the way back to Houston to attend Wade's wedding to his fiance, Emma Adler. Last Wade and his family head from Cooper, he was joining a science expedition with some crack theorist named Henry Coswall, whom Cooper was in acquaintance with while working as a researcher at Stanford. The family warned Cooper against joining the expedition, believing a trip to the wilderness of South America to be both dangerous and a waste of time for paleontology. However, the young brother still joined the expedition, transferring a large sum of money to his parent's bank account and promised to keep in contact if he can to ease their worries.

Not a lot of news went by from Cooper or the expedition team and the fear of his demise grew as years gone by. His father passed away due to old age and his mother moved with Wade and Hannah to help take care of their son and daughter. Ten years later since Cooper's trip to South America, Wade was contacted by Lucas Bryne, an individual who also lost a loved one in the expedition and someone who found possible clues of the expedition's route, inviting him to join on an expedition to find what happened to the expedition. Although Wade didn't want to abandon his family in case he goes missing, he did want a chance to bring Cooper home or at the very least, closure. After a lengthy discussion with Hannah and his mother, he sent a tacit acceptance to Lucas and send in his two weeks notice at his job. He also updated his will. if he is going to die looking for his brother, he wants to make sure that his family would still live comfortably for some time. He also sent instructions to his friends and neighbors Mike Kim, Jeff O'Donnell, and Matteo Gonzales to look after his mom and wife while he's gone. Jeff gave him a spare satellite phone to contact them.
