It's a common sight to see people go about their daily lives, going through the same motions day by day all for the pursuit of some goal, dream or simply responsibility. Written and unwritten laws guide the actions of people for better or worse as they work to squeeze together of living or hold onto their way of life. This monotonous ritual has existed for centuries, continues today and will for the foreseeable future. At least that’s what most believed would be the case that is until the ‘Event’ transpired destroying what many considered to be the very fabric society. Your character is one of these people going through the daily motions when they’re lives are suddenly thrown into a whirlwind of chaos created by a fiend that seems to enjoy the suffering of all humankind. The whole world turns against you as you’re forced into a sick fight for survival, it seems certain that you’ll meet your end in a matter of seconds, however in what you assume to be your last moment someone reaches out to you and others in your position offering the slightest bit of hope when all seems lost. This story is about the trials faced by a group of people wishing to free themselves of a forced fate and the suffering they will both have to endure and give to endure the ‘Event’ and its twisted purpose. --- I decided to put up this roleplay after sitting on it for a bit, I mentioned it earlier but the roleplay is about a group that has to fight for their lives and survive against near impossible odds. This roleplay has many situations where your character can die and powerful NPC’s divided into Tiers that require teamwork to overcome. A large point of the roleplay is the decisions your characters will have to make, the main purpose is character development and though the story is linear there are plenty of opportunities presented. Anyway if anyone’s interested let me know, if there’s enough I’ll put up an OOC ASAP and add the character sheet and the such, I'd like to do so now but it would spoil a large part of the story. Due to the nature of the roleplay I can’t take in too many so about four or five. Here are the rules for more info but feel free to ask questions if something doesn’t make sense or if there's additional questions. (Well if it lets me hide that is) [hider=Rules] Follow the rules, this should go without saying but there in place for a reason. No Godmodding- the characters are mortal in every sense of the word keep this in mind, let them have flaws and faults, takes all kinds to make a person after all. No Metagaming- with the way the roleplay works this can be pretty difficult but I ask that you avoid it as much as possible, especially when it comes to information use. I’d like you to look through your characters eyes at decisions. I’m fine with you recognizing the OOC warning signs, that’s absolutely permitted but it’s meant as just that a warning. Romance is fine but let’s keep things PG-13 in terms of relations between characters, the drill is fade to black or continue it somewhere else the same holds true here. I’m alright with swearing but avoid going overboard. Every other sentence is an example of overboard. Two paragraphs minimum- I ask this so that everyone has something to respond too and to understand your character more, in interactions if it’s a paragraph I’m alright with that and I understand writers block hits occasionally just avoid doing it repetitiously. If this is a problem contact me and we’ll talk about it. Be considerate of your other roleplayers both in the IC and OOC as well, it would be a huge bother if arguments start in the OOC so just be cool. Discussions are fine arguments not so much. Time limit- There is a time limit on this role-play; I’ll wait five days to a week before I move things along. I understand that responsibilities and the such will keep you from posting it’s the same for me but I would like to keep things moving as much as possible. Keep in mind that doesn’t mean you can’t come back in if I move along I’ll even help just know that without informing me of an absence (anything simple is fine, “I can’t post today, got stuff to do etc.”) I’ll move along to keep flow. If for whatever reason you have trouble with posting or have to leave just PM me and let me know. There is a good chance your character will die, an extremely good chance at least once. Because of this I’ll have to autohit your character should that time come, by joining you’re giving me permission to do so in that situation. I will not do it in any other situation but I want that knowledge known to avoid any misunderstanding. If anything confuses you, now or in the future don’t hesitate to ask me about it, if it’s something personal about your character then PM me. Everyone in this RP is human; sorry if you wanted to be something else but I’m afraid human is absolutely a necessity. Due to the nature of the roleplay I can’t take in too many characters, I’ll put a notice up when that’s the case but you never know what can happen. If I put the notice it up feel free to inquire about open spots I’ll keep you in mind should anything happen. If you are easily offended I would recommend not joining, some of the ‘routes’ are dark and I will touch on multiple things in the story. Take note it’s nothing that couldn’t’ be shown on tv in late afternoon when kids are home so dark may be a strong word. Come in with an open mind is what I mean. I won’t insult beliefs or anything of the sort since that wouldn’t be cool like Fonz but expect to see some questionable things. If I do offend you in anyway let me know via PM, I won’t hold you to the posting rule while it’s active and I’ll even send a PM once it passes if I don’t just end it all together. In the character sheet put a 1 where it says Tier, it’s needed and it lets me know you read and understand the rules. Doesn’t really make sense as a rule but I’d like it you enjoyed yourself. The story has light and dark parts to it, character development and all that, it’s meant to be fun and I’ll do what I can entertain. [/hider]
