Quick Premise: Whether you're an atheist or a recovering catholic. Or even a Buddhist or Muslim, the idea of what lies beyond death is a worry that can keep anyone up at night. The notion that people die too young, too soon, without reason is troublesome and deserves some attention. So many people die every day, from disease, from an accident, from even someone pulling the trigger and ending it without a question or even apology. Everyone dies, death is unavoidable. Some people like to quell their worries with religion while others have a more candid and cool approach and know that you only get one life and that's it. So when a group of complete strangers die and find themselves not in Hell or Heaven but on another planet far away from the Milky Way, what would happen? Faith comes into question. People are forced to reevaluate their beliefs and embark on a journey that is just beginning. Their time on Earth is over with but that doesn't mean they're really dead. Many paths can be selected and many mistakes can be made. People are given a chance to find a new life, resolve their past and even move on. This group of people are ordinary, given the same treatment as everyone else who has died, could they be reunited with lost ones? Or will their choices send them down another road to another planet further away?

Genre Breakdown: Science Fiction, Fantasy, Slice of Life, Drama, Character Study, Tragedy and Adventure

GM Notes: This is something I'm fiddling with and has to do with NaNoWriMo but to further explore plot and depth I'd like to try it with a group on here. My Group RPs are slow but progressing enough for me to throw out another line into the Advanced Pool of writers. The idea is simple and our group will be guided by various people and fantastical creatures. Their location is space, just further from home than they've ever been. I'd like to stress that this is meant to develop characters and various relationships and bonds they may form and have to let go of. There won't be any space monsters or aliens here but there will be personal demons as well as more serious conflict with other humans and guides they meet along the way. So if you're itching to fight with guns and have excitement all around, this isn't for you. This is something close to my heart and I'm interested to see if anyone else is willing to confront their own fears of death with me. This is meant to be fun but in an exploratory sense of what could be a grand adventure of survival and human spirit. If you're interested, please speak up.

Because the OOC won't contain too much more than this, kicking things off won't be too hard to do. So with any luck, a few lost souls will be ready to go this weekend.

I'm quite interested in this game and have a character done already, so I think I'll go ahead and post here on the IntChk, so as not to clog your OOC.
Username: 22ice22

Posting Habits:
I tend to check the guild twice a day: in the morning and then the evening when and if I have free time. That said I tend to post every other day, if it makes sense in the IC, sometimes sooner. On average my posts are 3-4 paragraphs though sometimes longer, kind of depends on the muses.

RP Peeves:
Speed posting bothers me, because I work from a phone, thus while writing my post (which takes a bit) someone else may have posted a few times, which is rather aggravating.

Anything Else:
I am currently in school thus a large portion of my day is occupied, namely my afternoon.

Character's Name:
Vincent Charles Williams

Age:
33

Appearance:


Occupation:
Professor of philosophy.

Beliefs/Religion:
Atheist. Always a firm , fond believer in the fact that the only thing waiting for him after death was a nice little hole and tombstone with a stereotypical epitaph engraved upon it, with the only way to live on being, through the impact he left on the world.

Personality:
+ Relaxed; informal. Never a fan of the strict overbearing, stuffy teacher stereotype.
+ Most often jubilant. A rather positive man who often finds the bright side to every situation.
+ Open minded. Never one to entirely close his mind to something, after all a switch in perspective can be rather useful in philosophy.
+ Helpful. Without many questions Vincent is rather quick to help others, especially those who actively look to him for help.
+ Extremely patient, when dealing with unmotivated young college kids one has to either be patient, or be bordering a psychotic break.

- Rather than providing exact answers, he will often try to lead the questioner to the answer, so they can learn.
- Often overanalyzes situations, and may began to debate its purpose for why it is the way it is.
- He truly experiences his emotions, meaning that when he is feeling a certain way it is extremely difficult to change it.

Cause of Death:
A rather average walk off the roof of a dorm building, between classes, while holding a copy of his recently finished philosophical novel, exploring the depth of human dependency on dreams/goals and/or religion.

Hobbies:
Teaching, writing, controversial debates, music, and inspiring young minds.

Fears:
Not being remembered, being lost to the annals of time.
