Tunnel des Todes, in other words, Tunnel of Death.

IC
OOC

Premise:
A group of average citizens find themselves lost and alone beneath the very streets of their city. None remember how this happened or even why, however, they all know that someone is to blame (as they all also feel pain atop their heads). Each person awakens in a different part of the sewer, all finding a different weapon around their body. Without light, they must find their way out of the sewers, but whoever did this may not make this so easy.

Characters
When crafting your character, keep the following in mind:
1.Keep it Real: Your character may be disturbed, athletic, intelligent, virtually anything you want, but keep it realistic.
2.Happen-Stance: They were not born for this situation, this is all a random happening to them, and therefore, they should not be completely masterful of weaponry or somehow know the whole layout of the sewer system.
3.Background: Even an average person can hold very important skills or experiences that could help them here. For this reason, when you write your background make sure you include things that benefit your character. I will NOT allow a person perfectly crafted for this situation, however, I will allow everyone a few impressive skills.
4.Unconscious: All characters enter the story in the situation dictated in the quote. This means, if you held any items that may favor you obviously, it is likely gone. Atop of that, no one has their phone, PDA, or what have you. For the most part, you are all on an even playing field.

What to Expect
Though your ultimate goal at this moment is to survive and escape, there is more story for those who clear the tunnels.

To begin with, all those that fill out character sheets will receive a PM welcoming them in, as well as giving them some unique information. In this way, all will hold a different key to success, should they know how to use it. All the while, be warned, there are others lurking in these sewers. Conditions will change, limitations will come and go, remain flexible.

Survive, Adapt, and Escape. These are your objectives.

Its sounds VERY interesting...But I have to ask, is this casual, advanced or perhaps high-end casual?

Fair question, and I'm glad you all are so interested.
This RP will probably be Advanced, but please do not let that push you away. If you're worried about length requirements read number 2 below. Plus, I'm always here to help should any of you just hit a wall in your writing. You don't become a better RPer unless you push yourself, and this is a good chance to do so.

During this RP I will expect everyone to:

1. Checks their Grammar/Spelling: I don't care about mistakes, but honestly, if it is not easily readable that will just not do. Throw it in Word or maybe use Mozilla Firefox (Browser), both have spell check and will make posting easier for all of us! God knows I use it.

2. Fair Length: There will not always be something to write worlds about, but there is a LOT here. When posting try to include three things; Observations, Thoughts, and Actions. If you dedicate a paragraph to your character's observations, what they smell, what they feel, then another about what all this makes them think about, possibly memories of a related topic, trying to piece this all together, or even just freaking out. That alone will make a good sized post! Then, obviously, your character must actually DO something, so you even have another paragraph for their actions. That's three paragraphs easily assembled (probably 3-4 sentences each).

I think I fit both of those requirements.

I'm definately in. This is really cool.
Posting my CS up momentarily.

Alright, well those that are interested just fill out the character sheets.

Once you do, I will PM. After getting a few CSs I'll make the OOC, which will have a list of everyone involved and their location in the sewers. Trust me, location will matter, and none of you are likely to discover the same things in this Roleplay.
