You wake up in a plain cell, there is a bed, a place to sit, and a table next to it. Within the room are five clues to your past, but as of right now they mean nothing to you, and a bear with your name, well you think it is your name. Your past is blank. You can remember nothing prior to waking up in the stark cell.

After you've been awake for a while a door opens in the wall and you follow the hall out to a large room with an observation glass. The view shows a planet, you assume it is your home planet. Then bight light spreads across the land masses. For what could be hours these explosions continue until there is nothing but darkness below.

A voice comes over the PA and sends you into another room. You obey, because if you don't dire consequences will befall you. Inside the room a simulation starts up.

You're in a space station with dozens of other people. Ranging in age from about 10 to twilight years. The space station is massive. When you're not in a simulation you can explore a bit.

My Character Sheet
Name: Tessa Green

Apox Age Range: 18-23

Room Items:
1. An ace of spades card, the design is of a raven, it has a diamond shaped hole punched into it.
2. A booklet of matchsticks, over half them are used.
3. A small zippered hard case with a needle and a mostly used bottle of clear liquid. On the outside of the bottle is a chemical structure pasted on it.


4. A bag with several different types of dice in it.
5. A picture of what appears to be a very young Tessa sitting on a woman's lap, the woman's face is burned off.

Self Assessment: Tessa is super patient, and she keeps a level head in most situations, except those involving deep water. Tessa flinches if someone looks as if they are going to hit her. Tessa feels like she was at some point in a abusive relationship. She has several scars, that there was no way she could have done to herself. Her right shoulder doesn't move quite right and if she puts it behind her back it hurts. She can barely touch the tips of her fingers together (that over one shoulder and under with the other test). Tessa acts quickly, sometimes before she thinks the process through. Even though she flinches when a punch is thrown at her, she is surprisingly capable at defending herself. She is also extremely limber.

Personal Profile (Under Development): At first Tessa thought the hard case was insulin, but she hasn't felt as if she has needed it. She assumes the picture of the blonde child is of her and likely her mother. She thinks she might have burned the top part of the picture off. Tessa hasn't gone through any withdraws, so she assumes she was not smoking. She has felt the desire to burn one of the matches, but hasn't yet feeling that she has to save them for something important. The dice do not seem weighted, and are a standard full set.

Bear: An old bear, easily older than Tessa. Upon squeezing it Tessa felt something solid in it. She opened the bear and found what looks like a small bone, possibly an infant's rib bone.


Journal: A school composition book, the black and white cover type, with the first page torn out.

Appearance:

Will make a character for this when I get back ^^

Name: Cricket Westley

Apox Age Range: She believes she looks 25, but could be off by a few years

Room Items: (Up to 5)

1. Dresser with mirror (all drawers are empty), with lipstick smeared on the mirror with the words “I refuse to give up!!!” (picture)
2. A picture of a baby boy in a frame wearing a santa hat (picture)
3. A camera without any pictures on it, or SD card (picture)
4. A postcard without any addresses on it that reads “The sunsets I’ve seen since being here can’t compare to your beauty. I miss you. Xoxo”(picture)
5. A slightly smashed tube of pink lipstick (picture)

Self Assessment: Cricket feels she has a determination inside her, as upon waking to her surroundings, she feels anger. But channeled anger into wanting to do something about what’s happening, not an uncontrolled anger to throw things and what not. She believes herself to be open minded with an innocence in order to believe in something supernatural like a God, as she feels she is religious. She finds herself to be a quick thinker, although possibly jumping to conclusions by the way she quickly left her bed when waking and began analyzing everything in the room, even looking for other people’s hairs left behind and taking out all the dresser drawers to find more. She feels a bit lethargic, as if she wasn’t used to getting such a deep sleep or being very strong, though her mind seems sharp and her body doesn’t feel weak. Perhaps mentally and emotionally run down from everyday life prior to this. She also finds herself impatient, wanting to find the next thing, the next motivation, seemingly needing stimulation every second like she’s used to keeping busy.

Personal Profile (Under Development): Judging by the bear, Cricket believes she might be religious in some fashion. When it comes to the baby in the frame, she has to assume it’s her son. Not to mention her stomach is a maze of various white and pink stretch marks and scars. The postcard suggests someone cares about her. Or at least did. Do they miss her because they are no longer together? Or because they are simply not where she is? She’s not sure. As there is no picture of a significant other in the room like the baby. She sees nothing regarding parents, which leads her to believe they aren’t a big part of her life for some reason. Estranged or dead, she assumes. The camera makes her wonder if she wasn’t an amateur photographer. The camera doesn’t look professional, but good enough. And appears to store a few pictures without needing a memory card. The lipstick suggests to her that she cares at least a little about her appearance, although the neutral hue makes her think she didn’t like to overdo it.

Bear:

Says the prayer “Now I lay me down to sleep” when pressed.

Journal:

Yellow tinted pages, all blank

Appearance:

Approx. 5’6”, 130lbs (give or take 5)

WIP so far

NAME: Logan Vallance

APPROX AGE RANGE: 15-17

ROOM ITEMS:
Deck of Playing Cards – Found inside a hefty wooden box with an intricate design. Initial inspection of the expensive deck of cards revealed three missing, which were later found hidden in various corners of the room.

Handcuffs and Key – A set of fairly flimsy handcuffs are lying under his bed, the key next to them. They are inscribed with a name on them: Loki.

Choker – A gothic necklace in an old-fashioned style, all black and silver.

Family Tree– A tapestry of fairly new creation despite having an antiquated design.

White Facepaint – A tub of fancy, creamy white facepaint, just as it says on the tin.

BEAR:
Pictured here. A small brown teddy bear with roses in its hand and a gift tag attached. It is devoid of any name save Logan's, and the message reads '2 the bae, lol'.

SELF ASSESSMENT:
Logan found it difficult to wake up and once he did, he had to force himself to stand up and about. From this, he has determined that he is lazy or, at best, a procrastinator. He warred with himself on whether or not it was worth the effort investigating his surroundings but curiosity won out.

While searching, he found himself constantly asking questions both in his head and aloud to the empty room, the latter being an uncontrollable urge – he wonders whether he is used to hearing no reply. The sound of his own voice is comforting enough to stave away the senseless, gnawing worry that is beginning to eat away at him.

With constantly twitching legs and idle hands, Logan has determined that being still and confined in a room for so long is boring. His imagination was sparked as well in the long silence and he feels something that he thinks is inspiration, though to do what he is not sure. His thoughts tended to drift towards the bear more than any of the other objects in the room, prompting him to ask himself if he is secretly a romantic.

PERSONAL PROFILE (UNDER DEVELOPMENT):
The first thing that Logan noticed was that as he was moving around and ducking under the bed to find the various items scattered around the room, he was becoming short of breath, even without having done much exercise – he immediately considered asthma or some other breathing condition, even though it could just be an unhealthy lifestyle.

When he found the bear with his name clasped between its arms on a tiny card, he considered whether he was in a romantic relationship. Surely he wouldn't be the one receiving the gift, right? It seemed rather girly, but he did chuckle at it. The words inscribed on the gift tag baffled him, however, as they didn't appear complete. Perhaps they were used ironically?

Logan's first impression of the playing cards was that they must surely have cost a fortune, ornately inscribed with the designs and all. It made him wonder whether he knew any card games – maybe poker – but he couldn't recall. Even so, when he pulled them out of the box and collected the missing ones, he shuffled them effortlessly. The only plausible explanation he could think of was gambling.

As for the choker and the white face paint, Logan felt ridiculously uneasy about them, especially as he tested the cosmetic product on his hand. He was pale enough to begin with but that was far, far worse. The good thing is that it prompted no allergy from him, though he wondered why he was checking that to begin with. Perhaps it was a fashion statement.

The family tree made Logan think that he must be an heir of some kind; however, his own name was not present on the tapestry despite there being blank spaces on it. The 'Vallance' name was on it several times over, which suggested to him that he was somehow related to them.

JOURNAL:
A purple notebook with plain, unlined paper inside. 3B pencil is brand new.

APPEARANCE:

Will watch before making a decision, just putting that in here.

Here's my CS, copy and pasted from the original:

Character Sheet:
Name: Stíofán (Stephen) ó Conaill (O'Connell)

Aprox Age Range: 18-25

Room Items:

1. An Irish flag, at least 4 foot wide and 2 foot from top to bottom. It has many signatures on it, and goodbye messages, all written in Irish, they are unreadable, as his vision is too blurry.

2. A framed picture of Stíofán with a man who also has pale skin and ginger hair, but stands a couple of feet taller. It has the man's autograph in it, but he cannot see, as his vision is too blurry. The man is holding a large belt, akin to the one a professional wrestler would win.

3. An award for a wrestling competition. It has a picture of Stíofán with a gold medal in his hand.

4. A black pocket watch. On the inside, there is a picture of two boys, however, due to his blurry vision, Stíofán can not work out who they are, but he has a feeling that the taller of the two is himself.

5. A book, entitled "Freak The Mighty", by Rodman Philbrick. Stíofán has to look at it from afar to be able to read the words, and therefore cannot read the blurb. The book is in English.

Self Assessment: From what he can see in the pictures, and form looking at himself, Stíofán works out that he has pale skin, and ginger hair. He also seems quite tall, with everything in the room being slightly lower down than one would expect. He is angry about not knowing what has happened. The wrestling also suggests to him that he partakes in wrestling to vent his anger. Seeing the wrestling award makes Stíofán smile. The man in the picture on the table with him looks like he has the build of a wrestler. He examines his body, and sees that he has quite a bit of muscle, for someone of his age. This confirms the wrestling, and that he may work out. He seems to be able to understand both the Irish texts and the English, however only to a certain extent due to not having his glasses, although he think that they may be somewhere he has not looked.

Personal Profile: The Irish flag, his name, his skin tone, and hair colour suggest that Stíofán is from Ireland. This would also explain his knowledge of the Irish language. His muscle growth, leather on the journal, and pocket watch may suggest that he worked on a farm, perhaps his own family's. The messages, and picture on the inside of the pocket watch also suggest that he left his home to go somewhere else. This would explain his knowledge of a second language, perhaps he learnt English because his family moved to an English speaking country. The wrestling could perhaps be a way to vent his anger, and the picture of him with he man who appears to be a professional wrestler suggests that he is an avid fan of wrestling. He is angry about the current situation, not knowing who he is, not knowing why he doesn't know anything.

Bear:


Journal:
There is a medium sized, leather bound journal, with a pen next to it.


Appearance:

Gogo accepted.

Im working on a character c:

Name: Eleanor “Ellie” Ruby

Apox Age Range: She is guessing anywhere between 20 and 25

Room Items:

1: A vase full of sunflowers, strangely not wilted. Picture

2: A map of constellations. Picture

3: A thick set of quilts Picture. Sewed into the blanked was a silver band, which Ellie quickly placed on her finger. Picture

4: A picture of two women posing together. Even though the picture is blurry Ellie can recognize herself as one of the two women. Looking at this picture too long fills Ellie with mixed emotions.

5: A pair of bird-shaped thread scissors Picture

Self Assessment: Ellie feels strangely relaxed and calm, despite the strange circumstances. Perhaps being in enclosed spaces doesn't worry her. She had trouble waking up however, as if her eyes were being weighed down. She blames this on how comfortable she felt in the dead silence of her room, maybe she is used to sleeping in loud places. Once she was finally able to move around she looked over her body. Ellie smiled when she looked over the various tattoos on her body, thinking they must hole some personal connection. She noted that her hair had to be naturally curly, seeing how she had no product or curling irons, and that her body was rather lean and athletic. Despite this she noticed she was having trouble breathing, she couldn't take a full breath without wheezing. The sound of Ellie's own voice in her silent room was startling to her, so she is keeping quiet.

Personal Profile (Under Development.): The first thing Ellie had noticed in her room was the vase full of flowers. Smelling them filled Ellie with a deep feeling of nostalgia. Perhaps she had grown sunflowers at some point, or sunflowers were often gifted to her. A silk bow wrapped around the vase suggested the later. The map of constellations Ellie couldn't help but smile at. She found the chart easy to read and understand, maybe she studied or practiced astronomy. The silver band Ellie quickly assumed played an important role in her romantic life, yet it lacked the embellishments of a regular wedding ring. Ellie guessed that this meant that Ellie was either rather poor or not into diamonds. That or the ring served a different purpose. The bird-shaped thread scissors, or at least that was what Ellie decided to call them, proved a bit of a mystery to Ellie. She really didn't think of herself as the crafty type, so sewing seemed out of the picture. The picture was something Ellie was struggling just to look at. She could identify herself in the blurry picture, but is unable to make out the other person. Could it be a friend? Mother or sister? Partner? Ellie couldn't tell.

Bear: Just looking and holding the bear makes Ellie feel safer. She isn't sure why.

Journal: The journal is mostly blank but several, random, pages have markings within them that Ellie cannot understand.

Appearance:

Looks good so far dragonbud.

Okay I think I'm all done :D

Looks good she's accepted. Welcome aboard.

FYI I will be in town for thanksgiving but probably won't be on much tomorrow. I hope you all have a great day. Wherever or whoever you celebrate with. I'll probably get the ic up Friday or Saturday depending on how many pending cs's there are.

Okay everyone. I'm going to try to get the IC up tonight or tomorrow. Please put up your CS if you haven't yet. I'll leave it open for more CSs even after the game starts though. It'll be kind of easy to start playing. You'll either have already been around, just not interacting with the PCs or you'll just have woken up. If the later I have special story for you.

Posts look great so far!

Are you guys still interested? I'm not making a posting order so if you want to post go ahead. You guys can interact with each other or NPCs, either run those yourself or I can for you.
