First of all, you must know something. This is a reality-based island survival RP. That means, you roleplay as yourself, not someone you wish you were.. Obviously, I don't know you personally, so I'll have to trust you to be honest.

The basic plot of this RP is that we're all on a Carnival cruise ship for various reasons. The ship plans on refueling and restocking provisions on the coast of eastern South America, but a major tropical storm blows it off course. In the midst of the storm, a rogue wave, nearly 150 feet high, flips the ship over, quickly sinking it. The lucky ones, (us) were on the deck when the ship flipped, which sent us flying into the turbulent ocean. The passengers and crewmen that were inside the ship unfortunately drowned. We were able to find our way to life boats that had automatically inflated when they hit the water, and the storm causes us to drift onto the shores of these islands:



(The first round of characters land on the island in the center of the photo)

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

This roleplay will have a 15 character cap for now, and later on, I may reopen it for character sheet submissions. Until February 20th, I'll only be accepting people that I've invited. After that, anyone may apply.

Character Sheet:

Real Name:
Real Gender:
Real Age:
Real Appearance: (While I obviously won't demand a picture of yourself, if you choose a written description, be detailed and honest.
Real Skills: (I can't stress enough, be honest)
Reason for being on the ship:
Real Bio: Optional

Rules:
1- Keep it classy. This means no excessive swearing, and any romance that's more graphic than PG-13 must be taken to PMs, or fade to black
2- I'm a pretty laid back guy, but if I ask you to do or not do something, I'd like you to listen. If you repeatedly ignore me, you will be kicked.
3- If I think you'll make a good Co-GM, I'll ask you to be one, and you can accept or decline. I don't, however, accept applications to be Co-GM
4- This RP will of course have some catastrophes, but it won't be nonstop action, a lot of it will be character development. While you must start off with your character having the same skill set and personality as you, over the course of the RP they may gain experience or new skills and new confidence.
5- Don't give out information such as your address, phone number, etc., etc.
6- I realize that my thoughts don't always make sense when I try to write them down, so if you're unclear about anything I say, please ask me for an explanation.



I believe that's everything...

I think this is going to be one of those times where everyone waits for someone to post up their bio first.

I however am quite hapoy to post my bio up now



I chose third person, since this is how I like to write. Let me tell you, its very weird writing in third person about yourself!

I am a bit messed up, but am wonderfully weird...hope you enjoy reading about me! It is all quite honest, I promise.

Real Name: Andrea
Real Gender: female
Real Age: 15
Real Appearance: She is 5"8 and weighs 132 pounds. She has light or medium brown hair( depending on the season ) that reaches just below her shoulder blades. Her skin is a light tan. She has dark brown eyes, and a relatively clear face. She gets a lot of her height from her legs. She has to wear glasses.
Real Skills: fishing, knowledge of several sports, a decent athletic ability
Reason for being on the ship: to just have fun
Real Bio: Andrea already had a strange life even when she hadn't been born yet. Her birth mother was only 16( I think ) when she got pregnant. Knowing she couldn't handle a child, she put her up for adoption. A family accepted, who wanted another child but knew they couldn't have one. Their current daughter suffered from cerebral palsy. On the day of Andrea's birth, her current mom was there at the hospital. Her family was from Salt Lake City, Utah. Her family was also a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or the Mormon church.

At seven years old, her deeply loved sister passed away. Her family then began to go camping in a trailer. Later that very year in December, she moved to Oklahoma. She has not moved since then.

Andrea was struggling in school, she couldn't pay attention which was made worse by being behind in the curriculum. In forth grade she was diagnosed with ADHD. She fought to get to the level of the kids around her, then passed them in math in seventh grade. Now in her sophomore( 10th grade) year of high school she is still ahead of some people, and wishing to become a forensic scientist.

Just a heads up, because of the storm, for at least the first day, they'll only have what's actually on their person, and on the life rafts. Later, they can try and scavenge stuff from the ship if they wish.

Of course. Had to preface that because I tend to carry things around with me. Wouldn't be the whole back pack though. Things I can clip on my belt mostly.
