If things get real bad and you have to resort to cannibalism remember: Vegans first, they are the closest thing to grass fed.

⚘ A Brief History
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I've been at this a long time and when I say a long time I mean a long long damn time. I started out with table top, ADnD, back in the 80's, then dived into others: Nightlife, Mage the Ascension, Shadow Run, HoL, etc. Moved onto Online in the 90's. I've been running various incarnations of a single RP group for twenty years now. Worked helping setting up, building, and/or admining/modding various RP forums over the years: Adventure Quest, Priston Tales, War Gods, etc. It's been a long road filled with ups and downs. I'm an evil GM, you've been warned.

Outside of RP, I am a mom. Yup, I've reproduced and there are little Lady A's running around plotting their own take over of the world. I am a published author and once upon a time an award winning poet. I've done a lot in my life. I haven't done as much as I would like. I've grown a lot. I have a lot more growing to do. I love to cook, baker by trade currently. I went to university and majored in Mathematics. I've programmed websites, worked as a model, worked as a 3d modeler. Shit, I even used to dance. And have been known to sing a bit. Jack of all trades. Master of like 3, lol.


⚘ Looking Inside
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This is where I go into my personality. In the past I would normally make some self deprecating remark about how I am a bitch of a GM, pushing my rpers as hard as I push myself and so forth. Not anymore. People change, or perhaps they just come into their own. This can happen at any age. More than that it can happen several times over the course of your life as you discover and rediscover yourself. Everything happens for a reason, usually that reason is ones owns actions. Or inaction's. Right now, I am in a better place than I can remember being in the longest time. I am happy and at peace. I have no regrets. Maybe I should but I don't. I plan on keeping this peace I have found, I went far too long without it.

Currently I am enjoying several things. Some are things I have enjoyed most of my life: Coffee, chocolate, bacon, M*A*S*H. One isn't something I have enjoyed since I was seventeen: being clean and free of poisons in my system. It is beyond description and I love it: One-hundred and twenty days and counting. Music taste is shifting to more mood oriented than anything, strange I am finding a lot of newer Country I am enjoying and I have NEVER liked country. Watching things like Lark Rise to Candleford and being hooked to the point of reading the trilogy. Recently added yoga to my workouts and all I can say is, "Fuckmaste: the fucked up in me accepts the fucked up in you."

@Charnobylisk Well rooms will be randomly assigned once we get enough approved cs's in. Perhaps Lady Luck will be nicer for this Rp, lol
@Charnobylisk Yeah, trust me; after yesterday the lack of carnage was welcome, lol
Okay, post up - short but short right now is good. lol





Wow, that had to be the quickest set of rolls and randomization's that we have come across so far when it comes to seeing if anyone gets injured, anyone dies or really anything else for that matter. Lady Luck has decided to be a Lady so far this morning and well, things seem to be swinging your way for the moment. Savor it because as we learned yesterday no one is safe - not even the beloved. Maybe that is why the storm set in when it did, it just knew. I wish it would have warned us! Anywho.... Enough of the world rambles.

The rain in your area seems to be letting up and even though I tried to stack the deck against you Lady Luck was a Lady and decided to let the rain lessen for the time. Now, does that mean tornado later or that it will actually stop raining? Who knows, my magic eight ball isn't telling me anything but "try again later" - So, we have rain and you manage to get away scott free and leave the Walkers in the dust. Enjoy this round of relief and soak in the family reunion.

You four are now in your little moving family reunion vehicle and besides a little bruising on one of you are doing fine. So move it.





I don't know what it is with Lady Luck today but honestly I think she is being too nice. Maybe that's just because I am still ticked about yesterday and want to see you all suffer. Nah, I'm not like that, honestly. ~hides her horns beneath her halo~ Anywho, another round of things going well. No one dies, no one is injured, hand off went smooth, the car is ahead of the walkers now. I can't get over it! So get in that car and haul butt!

Oh wait, not everything is going smoothly. Nothing huge but where the storm let up a bit for group two, it is getting a little worse for you. Nothing huge but you may not want to stick around. Hell, there is still a hoard of walkers you might want to get away from. So get out of there while Lady Luck is being nice. She may not keep this up long.

@Nallore DON'T JINX IT!!




Premise

When you are young, you want to spread your wings to fly and fly you have; all the way to India! The land of ancient enchantment, mystery and magic. The colors, the sounds, the people; it all has drawn you in and you have opted to leave wherever you were and whatever you were doing to take an extended trip and set up residence in a long term hotel in the heart of India.

You go to school, you work, you party - you do it all or nothing at all as you just watch the sun set on this majestic land and take a breather. You have been in India anywhere from the last three to six months having the time of your life. You are set up in the Best Exotic Hotel, a rather run down but being renovated long term facility. Some days the power works, some days it doesn't. Don't count on on your net service being active at all hours and sometimes the water pipes decide to say "Screw you, you're gonna stink today," but hey, you get through it.

You are one of many young adults shacked up here at the Best Exotic. Most of the rooms are single occupancy but there are a few doubles. Doesn't really matter though, the lay out for the hotel is open with a large courtyard in the center and plenty of places of relax. You all have gotten a chance to get to know each other; some only on the surface, others on a much deeper level. Question is, what is going to happen next?

Well, only you as the guest know that and honestly, do you even know what you'll do next? Power cuts, weather, people all mix together to create some wonderful times but there are also storms on the horizon. So how will you all fare? Stick it out and grow closer? Or are some just going to say - Yeah, I'm ready to get back to regular AC and Twitter updates? Let's find out.

The doors have opened at the Best Exotic - What happens next is up to you.

Character Sheet





Relation Sheets


Instructions On Relation Sheets:
  • Relations must be worked out between each character
  • PM each Rper and work out the relations personally - don't just assume the relation
  • NO Ships to start! (Aka no predone couples)
  • Update Relation throughout the RP to keep it up to date
  • Let relations develop naturally.


Yes, I know it is odd not to have a predone Couple tag for a relation sheet - that will be added in later but I want to keep from any couples being already put together before this RP starts. As much fun as it is to "ship" characters I have seen it be the downfall to some pretty amazing stories lines that could have been possible and much more real. Sure, ship away in OOC, place bets on who you think will end up with who but as far as the IC itself goes - let it happen naturally and over time. (Seriously, don't let there suddenly be 4 couples at the end of day one, lol) Let's enjoy this. Remember the majority of the characters have only been there like three to six months, they are from all over the world, there are language barriers, culture barriers, etc. Play to that.
Alright, be posting world narrative for groups 2 & 3 once I wake up.
@SgtEasy Yeah, shouldn't be an issue.
@Universorum Same year, people are welcome to use the same character, just strip down the relations. Could see how they react to people if they meet under different circumstances. (Tas will be my lead character)
