The Gist:

A group of random individuals awake to find themselves naked and sprawled on a strangle circle much akin to a spell circle with runes with nothing more than themselves. These individuals will find themselves in a world similar to earth, except that the air is cleaner, there are no human built constructs of any kind in sight. No roads, no skyscrapers, not even the sky trails of planes.

These individuals will find themselves clustered and must work together to survive.

They must secure food and water, they will find fruits and seeds similar to those of earth, but they will also find those with completely difference visages. Everything will be a risk, from the fish they find to the crystalline water they drink.

Due to the fact that some events can kill or incapacitate your character multiple character creation is not frowned upon as long as you are aware that the more characters you create the more likely that one or more will die for the sake of simplicity. Keeping track of too many people will burden and strain the story.

It will be fantasy, the world will have many fantasy elements including monsters and objects with fantastic effects. All of these will be discovered on the go.

Also I believe that a great story is made by chaos, meaning that while there is a certain way things should flow, stepping out of bounds and doing your own thing is not frowned upon as long as there is a reason for it. You decide to assassinate someone just because you felt like it is not a good reason, say you want to off him out of spite for an action he committed against you or out of jealousy because a certain other individual pays more attention to that character ran than yours...well then you got yourself a reason.

This will be a test of quality for the RPers as well, outside the box thinking and coping with events that do not flow in your favor.

I also do not shy away from extreme actions and behaviours as long as you keep it implied when XXX is involved.

@riprofsuls Sounds good. Sounds interesting. I'm in :)

I'm interested.

Sounds awesome, sign me up.

Going to wait at least one more day before posting the OOC, also noted that there are only two tabs, where's the IC?

This is my first time back in RPG in a couple years lol.

Need maybe one more person.

Here's a CS to work on in the meantime

CS:
Name: Modern Earth
Age: Any, but be prudent in your choice
Gender: M/F
PIC or Discription: No anime, realistic art yes or people photo
Biography: A little about your past, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Things you may want to consider that will shape your character, was it a recluse? Extrovert? Athletic? Lazy? Smart? Skilled? Job choice? What did it do in its free time? Pets? Allergies? Disabilities? Fears? etc...
I don't want you to tell me your character's personality, I find that you shape it as you go, that its ego changes as your view changes on the character and its surroundings.

Limit of three with a preference of one character.

If you find other things you want to add to your character sheet, go ahead.

Happy to give this a whirl. I'm very interested

@riprofsuls

The IC and OOC tabs are now combined to the same thread.

Name: Sasha Belov
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Nationality: Russian

Appearance:

Sasha is a very large, muscular man. He stands at six foot seven, has pale skin and dirty blonde hair that is kept in a neat buzz cut. His eyes are a gray-ish blue, and usually cold in appearance. They go just right with his perpetual frown. Sasha has several tattoos, one being the simplified bird seen in this picture. Another notable tattoos is a compass that points West on his left chest, and a line of words in Russian on his arm, opposite of the bird. The words are now difficult to read due to a scar from a knife word that runs right through the middle of them.

They say you can tell a lot about a person by the scars they have, and Sasha's tell of a hard, painful life. There's a perfect line going down his lower abdomen, with dots on either side of it, left over from an emergency surgery he had to have to have bullets removed and organs repaired. On his arms, there are several slim, slightly raised scars from fights involving knives. There are an array of bald patches on his legs from where shrapnel from an road mine was removed with a pair of tweezers and rubbing alcohol. The most noticeable are the scars that cover a good portion of his back, slightly raised and faded from several laser surgeries to keep them from hindering his range of motion. They look like they were from some sort of chemical burn.

Other: Sasha speaks with a Russian accent. He speaks several European languages fluently, Russian and English being his best of course.

Skills: Your usual military training applies. He's proficient with most guns, but is particularly skilled at hand to hand combat. Has been known for one punch knock outs. He also has some experience in leadership.

History:

Sasha grew up in Kazan, Russia. His mother overdosed when Sasha was 5. He was left to be raised by his father, who fell into depression after the loss of his wife. His father wasn't the kindest, and often times was abusive. After Sasha's mother had died, he had essentially lost interest in being a father. He would often invite his loud and obnoxious friends over to watch soccer games, drink, and play poker while Sasha hid in his room and pretended not to exist. Sasha wanted to get out of the house as soon as he could, and joining the military seemed like the best option. However, Sasha had something of an authority issue when he was younger. His father's poor job of raising him had turned him into a rebellious punk.

After six years of service, Sasha slowly lost some of that punk kid attitude. He was eventually promoted to a second lieutenant and given his own, small platoon. They were deployed to Ukraine, where Sasha and his men were given orders that went against his own set of personal morals. When he refused to carry them out, he was threatened with everything in the book: treason, discharge, prison, the works. Instead, he just quit. Sasha and several of his men went AWOL. He picked up work as a mercenary, doing things that he knew he wouldn't lose sleep over. Most of the time, he does dirty work for various governments who didn't want to wait around and get things done the 'diplomatic' way.

Sasha was in the middle of a contract job in the Middle East when he disappeared. His men have no idea where he's gone, and they assumed that he was captured by the enemy somehow.

CS:
Name: Horace Alexander

Age: 23

Gender: male

PIC or Discription:

https://goo.gl/images/qluwhL

Biography: A natural born scholar, though not classified as genius, he has always enjoyed studying and learning anything of interest. This aspect of his displayed itself early on in his development. He would take to the libraries of his schools using them as refuges for his mind. Before reaching the age of ten he had already absorbed the tales and fantasies of over two thousand books. His inclination to read any book or article of interest did not decline.

While not entirely athletic his body was not atrophied or laden with layers of fat, this was mainly due to the active nature of the rest of his family. They were busy bodies, workaholics, and athletes. While it he did not shape himself as they did some of their attributes still managed to rub off on him.

All through school he passed it more or less in the confines of his own mind never worrying about his future. His parents had built a sizable business which, as the oldest son by more than ten years, he would get to administer and eventually inherit setting him up for life. This allowed him to indulge in his pleasures.

While he did not have any ambitions for his future, he did however collect a vast reservoir of knowledge.

When should an ooc be up? I'll post mine then. Probably.

http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/160966-ooc-new-world-survival-rp/ooc

OOC is now open, post your CS, everyone who has posted already, your characters are approved, everyone else is case by case.

One thing I should say about this RP, its developemental, it wont be just drama and day by day basis kind of stuff. Real survival is about getting your shit straight. Food, water, shelter, defense...etc.

Name: Mia Ellis
Age: 18
Gender: Female

Biography: Born to a father who never wanted her and a mother who didn’t care enough to stay, Mia didn’t spend very long living with the person who she lovingly referred to as; “Sperm Donor”. He had a strong hand and a weak mind, knuckles and a bottle of whiskey his only means of expressing himself, meanwhile her mother couldn't do anything but cry and pack her bags. Too weak to stand up for herself, but strong enough to leave, Mia's mother never did return from the grocery store the day she left.
She was first put into the system when she was seven years old, after the neighbors had finally gotten the nerve to call someone about the screaming, but she jumped houses so often that it didn’t really matter to her where she was staying.
A kleptomaniac, Mia paid no mind to who something belonged to; if she wanted it, she would have it. When she was about fourteen she started hustling drugs, only using the cash to re-up and saving the rest. She had a goal for herself. She wanted to be able to live on her own and fully support herself by the time she was eighteen.
Sixteen rolled around and she had quit the game, dropping out of school to work a full time job as a waitress. She continued working like this until she was able to legally emancipate herself from the system at seventeen.
Renting a small, one-room apartment, working a full time job, living life how she wanted-- everything was finally looking up for Mia.
But then; she disappeared.
Nobody knew where she had gone to, not even Mia, but she at least knew one thing. There was no way she was ever turning back.

((Sorry for the kind of short character sheet! I was a little bit stressed for time but wanted to put something up here. I'm excited to see where this RP goes.))

Get your characters into the OOC please :)
