Here's my conspiracy theorist.

@Theyra
So I started working on my character sheet. I'm going to go with the conspiracy theorist doctor who paid his way onto the expedition. So I want to give him a doctorate, something dubious, like what you would see the guys on Ancient Aliens. Anyone have any suggestions for a bogus doctorate for him to have?


Anthropology, or maybe history.
I'm interested as well, if you'll have me :)


Sure, there is plenty of room also, Lost World: Antarctica is live.
@Martian, @Dandy, @Hansa. By soon I meant very soon.
Lost World: Antarctica




Antarctica, the seventh continent and of ice and snow. For centuries it was unknown to humanity until the 1840s. When the Americans and French discovered the isolated land for the first time. With the French setting foot on the continent for the first time. Since then there have been several expeditions to explore Antarctica and a treaty was signed to safeguard the land from most human activities, safe for science and tourism.

Which to most, Antarctica is just a land of nothing but, ice and snow. They would be right and only a few thousand people would live in Antarctica as scientists to study it. Though there have been discoveries that Antarctica had once been a much warmer place. Fossilized plants have been uncovered that hint that the land had once been tropical in the far past. Giving the thought to what could have once lived in Antarctica. But, any more fossils and ideas would be buried deep beneath the ice.

Then a major discovery was made in 2023 in the McMurdo Sound. Thanks to global warming, the resulting melting ice saw a glacier break off and collapse into the sea, and to everyone's surprise. Laying exposed was an ancient stone temple. When it was discovered, a team of scientists was summoned and dispatched to the site as soon it was possible. Proof that sentient life had once lived in this frozen land and many were eager to study this temple.

But, for a group of scientists would do more than just study the temple. For in the main chamber of the temple while studying it, the temple would activate and send the group far into the past. Back when Antarctica was lush and green. Now in this unknown land, these scientists now have to survive and in the process. Learn more about what had lived in the land, both the animal and the sentient and perhaps find a way home. If they can find a way home.

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 one paragraph


Overview:

Hello and welcome to the rp. So as you can see, you will be playing as scientists that have been sent back in time to when Antarctica was lush and full of life. Though I will be lenient with those who wish to play as a non-scientist. Life that includes dinosaurs, non dinos, flora both common and unique, rare minerals/rocks, an unknown sentient race, and some magic in that mix.

While trying to survive in this lush Antarctica and maybe make some friends or foes in their journey to find a way back home and to the present. Which I will be doing less linear survival rp, mainly after the first act, the characters are free to do what they desire. So while there will be only one way home, there is be several ways to reach that end goal of going home. And hopefully not get eaten in the process. Plus, if we get far enough, it will be possible to play as a native if anyone chooses.

So that is it and if anyone has questions, feel free to ask.

@Theyra
Still interested. I will probably play as that conspiracy theorist who paid his way onto the expedition character.


That is fine and since I see Dandy leaving a like. I am going to guess that they are still in this. So I will be putting up a ooc soon.
@Martian, @Dandy, @RedPandaGamer

Okay, I know this is a bit late but if anyone is still here. I will work on the OOC and get things set up. As long as they are still people interested in this.
Karim Nazeri


Karim was just following Zeno Zemana, thinking that things so far were going well, when he felt a sudden presence on his shoulder. He initially thought it was a hand but, when he turned his head to check. Instead of a hand to his confusion, it was a white kitten. Before he could say anything about the mysterious feline. Mayu came up and snatched up the feline. Putting it under her mantle, and then came the apology from her. Which again, before he could say anything, came the bribe of cookies? Where did she get cookies, did she bring them with her from home or something? Karim just stood in place for a moment, looking down at the cookies in his pocket to gather himself. Are cats or pets allowed at the academy? He asked himself, knowing that he had no idea.

Either way, Karim chose not to tell Zemana about Mayu's kitten and resumed walking with the group. Still a little confused, partly because of the bribe though Karim would pick one up and take a bite. To his surprise, it was actually good. Though he would put the cookie back in his pocket. There was a better time to eat his bribe. So a second weird thing to happen today, Karim thought. Only this one was the innocent one compared to the other. Hopeful there will not be any more weird things today. One was enough, and three just means his time at this academy just might be more... interesting than he thought.
Jakou Morvan

Dec. 30



Here we go, Jakou thought as the mission started, and he, along with the trench raiders, made their way quietly to the enemy trench. They knew what they had to do, just capture at least two imperials and get out. Simple enough as order-wise, but in practice? Well, Jakou is just going to have to see for himself if it is that easy. As long people do their job and do not try anything to alert the imperials. He would rather do this mission as silently as possible and not get into a firefight if he can help it. Glory can be found here but, there is no glory in failing a mission.

Which for this mission, like most shock troopers, he is using his usual equipment. Though if everything goes right, he will only need his trench mace. Certainly better in close quarters and better at knocking out an imperial than his rifle. Just need a good swing and blam, knocked out imperial. Jakou hoped that it would be as easy as it sounds. But, he has gotten good practice with it in his war.

As he started to see the enemy trench, to his surprise at seeing Mehetabel rush ahead of everyone and into the enemy trench alone. Jakou only mouthed the words, what the fu..., before a shot was fired and the element of surprise was gone.

Jakou gritted his teeth in annoyance as he rushed with everyone else to the trench and saw that his teammates had killed at least three imperials. Well, those three are gone and more to deal with. He thought as he moved ahead pass past Emmerich and saw that there were no more imperials in this part of the trench. At least for now anyway.

Makes him wish those three would not dead but, can't change that now. They are here and the imperials are alerted to their presence. Need to find two to knock out fast. So Jakou tightly gripping his rifle decided on checking the dugout of the top part of the trench. Maybe there is a soldier there, solo if he is lucky. So Jakou headed there and hopefully he can knock someone out if anyone was there. Hopefully, being the keyword here.

Interacting with Manfred@Force and Fury, Eun-Ji@Medili and Mayu@annaplz


That was a strange sight, Karim thought amidst all of the excitement and celebration. Maybe because of his watchful nature that he spotted it. What looked like a semi corporeal for barely a few seconds and then a stoke of movement on the stage. Like a flash and then nothing that he could see any more. For a moment, he questioned what he saw and if it was just him seeing things. But Karim heard a girl say just a few bodies down, what was that. Turning his head towards her and then back at the stage. So it was not him seeing things. But, now that he thinks about it. He can't quite remember what he saw. There was something there right? Why can't he remember it? Karim looked at the Zenith and the Arch Zenos to know if they seemed concerned by this if they sensed it. They did not see that bothered on stage though there were a few glances between some of them, and one looked sweaty. But that could be the heat and being out in the sun.

Either way, they seemed unbothered for the most part but should he be worried about it if the strongest mages seemed like nothing happened? Maybe nothing did happen but, that familiar feeling at the back of his mind started to appear. That paranoid thought from after that ambush almost ended him. Perhaps it was something, and he should keep an eye out just in case. Appeasing the paranoid thought and he pushed it out back into its place in his mind. I can't do anything about it now, only enjoy the rest of the ceremony. So Karim went back to enjoying himself but with a hint of watchfulness.




When it came time for the Zenos to pick their students, Karim was ever listening. Waiting to see who his teacher would be and after Zeno Sienna Afrava, a Torragonese woman came up and picked her students. The next Zeno was one that Karim was a familiar name to him. Zeno Hamir Zemana, a man that Karim's family has done business with and has a good partnership with. Though he never met the Zeno in person before and it probably should not be a surprise that Hamir chose him to be his apprentice. Given his parents' good relations with the Zeno, that meant that Karim should not let Hamir down. Karim already has the rare situation of being on his master's good side before even meeting him before, and Hamir knows his parents. So that is a pressure and a desire not to let that good situation change.

So Karim went up with a smile to meet with his now fellow apprentices. Not realizing at first that he is with two nobles due to thinking about his new master, and hopefully, none of them are the stereotypical nobles who are full of themselves. Karim can hope at least but, who knows. He is not going to judge right off the bat right now. Give Mayu and Manfred a chance, at least.

After Eun-Ji introduced herself to the group, Karim spoke, "It is an honor to meet you all and an honor to be your apprentice Zeno Hamir Zemana." Karim crossed his right arm over his chest and did a short bow to the group. "It is a pleasure to be learning with you all and towards a good partnership with each other." Smiling while thinking at the back of his mind that it will be nice to learn with these people and not an unlucky arrangement.

After Arch Zeno Hugo Hunghorasz did a rather impressive teleportation spell and ending things with a final speech. Karim looked up at the fireworks and thought that he is finally here in Ersand'Enise, and now is his time to shine. To learn about magic and become a skilled mage like the others before him. Like his great grandmother and now him. Time to start a new chapter in his life that will shine in comparison to his life before. Taking a deep breath and with a big smile, Karim is eager to begin, and he only has to wait for tomorrow for it all to start.
