Zeroth
Setting: 2020, somewhere cold.

Plot: You wake up in a windowless room with no windows, a single door, and a bucket to evacuate in.

You do not have superpowers. You do not know where you are. You only know that you went to bed like normal last night, and woke up here.

Welcome to the Cult

OOC Guidelines

The premise is simple enough, but what about the gameplay?

1) Each of you will start in separate "cells" in a building.
2) In these cells, you must choose to either stay put or attempt escape.
3) Reputation points will be awarded by "thumbs-ups" on your IC posts.
4) Once you have sufficiently convinced the cult that you are willing to join, they will begin indoctrinating you.
5) For those of you bent on escape, your IC posts will get "laughed" at as you defy the cult.
6) When you have gotten a certain number of IC laughs, your character will be killed if they have not escaped in time.
7) If you do not do anything to warrant being laughed at by the cult, you may remain in their good graces without becoming indoctrinated.
8) But nobody stays with the cult for too long without becoming indoctrinated, or at the very least getting Stockholm Syndrome.
9) If you remain with the cult for too long without becoming indoctrinated or attempting escape, you will receive an IC "thank you."
10) This means your character has Stockholm Syndrome and no longer wants to leave. However, they are enamored with their captors, not brainwashed to have their crazy beliefs. So rehabilitation would be slightly easier if rescued.

Character Creation

1) Due to the nature of the cult's leader, making a female character will keep you alive a little longer than if you play as a male.
2) Remember, you don't have any superpowers. However, depending on your character's personality traits, they might be prone to certain gifts and abilities that might help them later. This will be determined by the GM as needed.
3) Roleplay your character realistically. In a situation like this, "heroes" is an afterthought. Fear is the primary motivation.
4) Your character can be from anywhere in the world.
5) This is realistic modernish.
6) If your character dies, you may make another character.

Bonds: Nine dogs(all previous strays or stolen from 'bad owners'), but her favorite dog, a white Pomeranian is named Mai, younger sister Hao Tran, mother Quy Tran.

@Atroposer@Skinner35 we are going to go ahead and begin. if someone wants to join later, they are more than welcome to :)

EDITION: I forgot about your character's location before they were kidnapped, but i just edited the CS. If you could add that to your CS, I'd appreciate it. Thanks

EDITION 2: In case you're wondering when you read it, both of your characters are in separate cells, but you're hearing the same thing through the thick metal door. When you post IC, I will write as the character outside
