Stranded: A Realistic Minecraft RP (OOC)

[Reytrx99]

The setting:

Spoiler

In the year 2025, all the dormant super volcanoes on the earth erupted at the same time, covering most of the world in molten, fiery destruction. The cataclysm destroyed all it reached, causing buildings to fall, and nuclear reactors to explode. All the missiles and nuclear weapons exploded in the bases they were held. by the end, more than 85% of the world was destroyed. the only places relatively untouched were the Poles, and a few "safe spots" in various places around the world, though nothing but the Poles was much bigger than a small city. Fast forward 500 years. In the wake of such destruction, a few humans and animals survived, free of mutations. over the years they had to fight to survive, but now, the world had returned to normal. the radiation faded to a safe level, and the volcanic ash that had previously smothered the world, now made the world fertile. All the biomes had returned to normal, and with the lack of the pollution the world was full of before, the skies were clear, and animals thrived. The people lived simply. Hunters, Miners, Carpenters, Etc. They strove to live in harmony with the world, a place they had decided to name Minecraft. But not all was well. Every night was rife with danger, as, in the wake of the nuclear fallout, mutations occurred. The humans in that area were heavily affected, giving way to zombies, mindless, and hungry. Living skeletons, carrying on with sentient anger, hunting the humans with resentment for their life and prosperity. Spiders, enhanced with the radiation, all the spiders now were massive, as big as Mastiffs, and capable of spitting venom. And lastly, strange, sad creatures known as Creepers. These poor things were the most heavily affected by the radiation, grotesquely mutating into tall, armless, four-legged monstrosities, who's structure was now so unstable, they would explode if they came into contact with a human. They are mournful of this, chasing the humans not out of hate, but of loneliness. There is some relief for humans however, for when dawn comes, the monsters burst into flames, unable to handle the intense rays of the sun, although the spiders seem immune for some reason... And what of you? Well, occasionally, a human will appear, with nothing but the clothes on their backs, and no memory to boot. This is your place in the story. Will you be the first to recover their shattered past, and learn the dark secrets of Minecraft?

The rules:

Spoiler

Pretty standard,
1. I am GM, my word is law. Should i choose to appoint a co-GM their word is also law.
2. No spam in the IC or when told to not spam
3. No god-modding, OP or Autohitting sentient opponents (should you get into a fight with another player) or bosses (i will notify you of what is a boss.)
4. Be friendly to other players, don't be a douchebag
Check this post often in case i decide to make new rules. I use a three-strike system, should you get three strikes, you will be given a one day ban. after that, three more strikes is a one week ban wherein i will control your character. Three more strikes, your character is zombie fodder, and you'll have to appeal all the members of the RP to get back in, and make a new character. That said, I doubt i'll have to use any strikes, and HAVE FUN!!! ^_^

[Raddum]

Name: Keith O'Riley
Age: 24
Appearance: An average man standing at 5'7". White, wears a brown jacket with matching pants, black belt and a white undershirt with black sneakers. Short brown hair, blue eyes.
His teeth aren't the prettiest, and his purple boxers sometimes stick out above his pants. (My Minecraft Skin, in a nutshell.)

Personality: More then less likely to run from a fight if he can, Keith's an easy to fright man, although seeming to trust people easily. Enjoying being around others, and dislikes the idea
of being alone. Even if he is easy to fright, he'll stand by people and help them to the best of his ability's... Just expect him to be the last one there, unless your running.
He tends to stay with the strong, to help make up for his own weaknesses.

Strengths: (If i don't do these right, please tell me.) Keith's major strength is his speed; able to run, and swim faster then most people (1). Keith is highly aware of his surroundings, making it easier for him to detect danger,
helping him avoid traps and monsters alike(2). He seems familiar with the Shovel, more able to handle it than an axe, or sword(3). Keith is also very light and tiny, able to squeeze himself into narrow spaces.(4)
He's good at fishing(5).

Weaknesses: Keith is easy to scare, and will normally run at the sight of danger, such as monsters, lava, or people he deems dangerous(1). He's also weak compared to most men, less likely to be able to defeat multiple monsters, or another person head-on(2). His immune system is weak, so he ends up sick easily(3). Keith doesn't do well with heavier tools such as swords and axes(4). Couldn't brew a potion to save his life(5).

Fears: Any monster, Lava, Bats.

Other Info: His favorite food is Scrambled Eggs, and his least favorite is Mushrooms. Anything with Mushrooms.

Starting Point: Taiga

Hope this is good, if not, just tell me what's wrong and i'll do my best to fix it!

[Roran Hawkins]

Name: Crowley Greenfield
Age: 41
Appearance: A small man standing 5'3. He has wild unkept brown hairs occasionally cut with his knife, and a rough beard. He has deep penetrating green eyes, and a constant frown. He wears a sturdy woolen cloak with hood to keep the wind and rain out, and has sturdy travelling boots. He has pretty standard green to brown clothes.
http://artpad.art.com/?mhimgsp05h8
Personality: He is a very grumpy man. Seriously. He has lived in the wilderness for his entire life, all alone, and has only had human contact occasionally. However, due to the recent increase in hostile creatures he is forced to lay contact. He is very straightforward and silent. He hardly speaks, and when he does, he says what he wants to say, be it polite or not. He isn't apathic or asocial however, but he can't stand stupidity ior other large flaws. He expects near perfection from those working around him.
Strengths: He is a very good hunter, having helped in edging his skills in quickly moving around unseen and unheard, and scaling otherwise inaccesible terrain. He has pretty acute senses due to living alone. He is a good marksman with a bow and not too shabby in melee either, but due to his lenght he prefers to stay at range.
-Hunter
-Sneaking
-Climbing
-Acute senses
-Archery
Weaknesses: He is small. Where lenght matters, he has a disadvantage. He is stronger than you would expect, but compared to the mutations out there and taller people he is weaker. He is very stoic, which, while not clouding his mind, will cause difficulties. Not only that, his violent contacts with the mutated creatures have made him dreaded amongst their primitive 'societies' and made them vengefull and eager to kill Crowley. This results in problems for him settling down, as monster attacks are a lot more frequent if he would settle down somewhere. He knows basic medicine, but anything that has to do with potions or magic of any sorts is off-charts for him.
-Small
-Weak due to lenght
-Stoic
-Sworn monster enemy => Hard to settle down and build stuff
-no brewing at all
Fears: He fears for the health of the extremely few people he actually cares for.
Other Info: COFFEE.MUST.GET.COFFEE.
Starting Point: Jungle

Raddum, accepted
Roran, edit your strengths and weaknesses with numbers like raddum. other than that, it looks good ^_^

[Pancake]

Name: Karol Bennett
Age: 20
Appearance: Karol is about 5"4' in height. She has gray eyes and straight, black hair that is usually kept in a ponytail to keep it out of her face. Her clothes are rather plain. She wears a long-sleeved white shirt, gray pants and black boots. She also wears black mining gloves, which are pretty old and need to be replaced soon.
Personality: She is a rather quiet person overall. When talking with someone she will be polite, although she is always cautious around those she first meets. After all, there are people out there who will kill you in order to get what they need.
Strengths:
1. Karol is very observant, and tends to notice things faster than average. 2. She also likes to mine a lot. 3. As a result she has good endurance, and can work for quite a while without getting tired. 4. Thanks to monsters being everywhere inside of caves, she also has become rather decent at combat, and will fight monsters if they get too close. 5. She also has a soft-spot for animals and is good at tending to them.
Weaknesses:
1. Karol is rather cautious when it comes to others, and is rather mistrustful of those she first meets. 2. However, she can be reckless when it comes to other things, and will often go into caves or other dangerous places without a second thought. 3-4. She isn't a very fast runner, and is bad at long ranged combat in general, which is why she prefers to fight with weapons such as swords. 5. On another note, she is bad at gardening, and it takes longer for her to grow anything.
Fears: Karol is afraid of both Endermen and Skeletons. By the time you see an Enderman its too late, and you could get shot by a Skeleton before you even know it's there.
Other Info: I can't think of anything so here's a cookie. (::)

Sucks that they left but oh well. More people might wanna join later. ^^

[Raddum]

I'm interested in seeing Rey's CS. (I'm betting Crowley isn't going to like Keith that much...)

Crash Bandicoot: "Pancakes!" It kind of looks like a donut with butter on top in my opinion.

[Raddum]

Huh, welcome back, Dark. Glad you changed your mind and decided to stay!
