Romance Survival

Big Brother? More like Naked and Afraid! It would be great! :3

If we're going for the camp thing then it could be like I'm a Celebrity but with a little more focus on survival? Going hungry for a few nights is usually pretty dramatic!

@NarcissisticPotato
I've been on a Big Brother kick, leave me alone!
However, Naked and Afraid type thing would be hilarious and amazing.

Nothing says love like having a poison ivy rash and seeing big ol dongles everywhere.

@HylianRose Man, I would do any of these.

[HylianRose]

Lol. I don't think naked + romance centered will stay very PG at all. Not that I'm opposed to being a bit more mature, but I would prefer fade to black.

I like the survival idea though. It could lead to a lot of bonding among couples and I can forsee a lot of dramatic shenanigans being pulled by the hosts of the show.

@NarcissisticPotato

I'm down. That way it'd be really easy to just say it's a remote island somewhere in the pacific. Lol.

Makes my job easier.

[Matador]

Survival Island sounds like it'd be amazing! XD

[HylianRose]

So, I wrote something up. Let me know what you guys think.

Intro to RP

Welcome to Lunox Island where the exciting new reality TV show is being filmed, Love Survival. Can love survive on this deserted island?

Years ago, a native of the island by the name of Lunox fell in love with a beautiful woman. However, this woman was blind by birth. She could not see Lunox and the wind never carried his voice over the rocky barrier to her so she never heard him either.

One afternoon, Lunox heard rumor of a wishing waterfall near the center of the island where he could wish for her sight back.

When he did, nothing happened. But after weeks of coming to the water and wishing, the spirit had finally had enough of him. She came to the surface and told him. She could return the woman's sight, but she would have to take his in exchange.

Lunox happily agreed, anything to give his love sight, never thinking there could be other ways of accomplishing his goal.

The next morning, Lunox woke without his sight and could not have been happier. He stumbled his way to where he knew she could see him and began waving frantically. However, she never came.

Lunal, as her people called her, was finally able to see her friends and family as well as the man whose voice guided her through her troubles, her childhood friend, Zaln.

When his love never came, Lunox went back to the spirit in the waterfall and asked for an explanation. When she did, he fell to his knees and began sobbing.

"Not all love can prevail on an island such as this, Lunox." She told him, her expression somber.

Still Lunox was happy for the woman he had no name for and he never asked for his sight to return.

Years after Lunox's death, Lunal visited the other side of the island with her children. Ty, the smallest of the children, found a small grave with the words,

"For he so loved her, that he gave his sight so that she could see him."

written on it. For whatever reason, Lunal began to cry. She could never explain it but it was as if her eyes were sad.

The scene ends and the host, Ryan Barnes, appears out of the brush. "They say years later that Lunox's spirit inhabits this island to this day and that if you see him, your love is cursed." He explains with a smirk on his lips. "Will these newly formed couples stand up to Lunox's challenge?"

I like it.

Awesome!

I'll be coming up with a quick poll to get people's opinions later today when I have free time. I've got one more half week of camp left to work and I'll have lots of free time. (Ye, I work at a camp. Lol.)

We could do a singles vacation resort or cruise. That would keep them all in one spot and they are all single, over 18 and good to go.

Super interested in this. I like the little blurb you had. It's different, but I think it could go places.

I'm actually liking this survival idea more and more. But it could also be a sort of resort. I was thinking that there would be challenges and the first couple to complete it gets to stay in the better lodging or something. I'm not sure.

Here's the poll I cooked up. If I think of anything else to ask, I'll make another post.

Directions: Please indicate which of the options for each question you would prefer. This does not guarantee your preference but will help me make decisions.

1) Type of Appearance

Which of the following would you prefer?(Anime, Realistic, OR Real?)

Anime

Realistic

Real

OR
Mixture

2) Relationships

How would you like the relationships to be formed?

-Organically through IC (This means that the first few days would be letting the singles mingle)
-Random selection
-GM selection based on CSs

[Wick]

@HylianRose

Realistic

Organic

Liking the Gilligan's Island approach. :)

@HylianRose
1. I quite like real images but finding face claims can sometimes be really bloody difficult so if people want to then anime/realistic would work as well! C:

2. Organically would probably work best but you have to remember that this is a reality TV show; there could be certain things put in place to allow people to vote to put characters together!

@NarcissisticPotato

Ooo. That's actually a good point. The characters, as well as the 'viewers' could vote for who they think should get together. Basically, shipping. Lol.

But I think it should still be their choice to get together for the 'trials'.

It would also be neat to have voting periods where people can either vote to stay with their current partner, or vote to change.

@HylianRose

1) i think a mixture of real and realistic.

2) organic relationship but maybe they can be put on teams based on random selection, if they characters hit off great, but they can always converse with other teams and possibly hit it off there leading to maybe drama. (i.e. one of the partners like the other, but they like someone on another team)

[GirlOnMarz]

I'm very much interested in this! Always down for a romance RP.
