@Baphomini

Your CS was great. Thanks. You are free to post for Kelly in the IC thread.

For all who join, once you have posted your CS and gotten a "thumbs up" from me, you can post your first IC reply.

Generally speaking, IC replies should not take the timeline ahead of wherever my last IC reply left off. That won't always be the case, obviously, but it's a pretty good guideline to ensure that writers don't get left in the dust.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to bow out, realizing I'm not going to have the time to do more than one rp at a time, sorry about that.

For those who have joined or are contemplating joining, I'm creating a black marketeer character. Every survivor story has to have one, right?

[Baphomini]

-casually creates another character specifically to have future interactions with said black marketeer-
-also casually makes that character a lead doctor-
-cackles maniacally-

Okay, time to actually write an IC post now

[ItIsJustMe]

For everyone:

Part of the premise of the Aid Mission is that it was arranged on the spur of the moment. Because of this, I'm going to allow for the idea that some of the Team Members with families weren't able to arrange potentially long-term care for their children, asked to bring them along, and -- subsequently -- were given permission.

So, I'm going to allow up to, let's say, 5 children. If anyone wants to write one of these, please PM me. I myself am going to write 2 of them:

• A teenage girl, perhaps 16, who is coming of age and trying to find a place in the world. There is a potential for romance, of course, but there will be no sense of eroticism due to her age being <18.
• A pre-teen or early teenaged girl or boy who loves the idea of being lost on a deserted island. (S)he will be rambunctious and adventurous, and I'm sure that (s)he will get in trouble from time to time.

@Baphomini Since it doesn't seem anyone else is interested, do you want to continue writing this as a 1x1 with multiple characters each?

Personally, I can easily handle 6+ characters myself: 4+ adult women, 2+ adult men, and 2+ children.

[Baphomini]

@ItIsJustMe We could if you prefer? I think maybe you just need to give people a little more time maybe? Things have moved a little fast between interest check and actually starting

I'm also a bit lost if I'm veing honest because I specifically set my character Kelly up in the med tent recovering from a concussion and somehow you went and took him and sent him off after livestock with the kids...I'm not really comfortable with people controlling my characters like that...and it's kinda confusing to have my post pretty much ignored? Idk how else to put it...

What I have so far, should finish her background in the next day or so!

WIP

Dr. Annelise Jennings, Cardiothoracic Surgeon

Female, 36 yoa

Image

Marital Status, Sexual Orientation: Widow, heterosexual

Physical Description: 5’3 in stature. Used to exercise regularly and although not bulky, her body is clearly toned. No tattoos or major scars.

Psychological Description/Personality: A kind-hearted individual by nature. At times feels she must right any wrongs and bring justice to light, which has gotten her into trouble quite a few times in the past. Often quiet and pensive, and if caught, will apologize and smile for her lack of presence. Though the tragedy that struck nearly a decade ago brought her to her knees and left her bedridden for days, she’s since improved. Needless to say, she does to this day have nightmares and if triggered just right, she may hallucinate for a very short period of time. This happens if someone she comes across has the same, or very similar mannerisms as her husband.

Education: University of Florida alumni. Attended the college from freshman year up to medical school where she was awarded her MD upon completion.

Family/Friends:

• Marcus Jennings, Husband - Deceased
• Raquel Peters, Mother
• Nathan Peters, Father
• Stacy Dorman, Best Friend
• Chris Jennings, Brother-in-Law

Background: Pending

Other: Annelise doesn’t take any medication per se, but she does have trouble sleeping. Since her husband’s passing, she’s sleepwalked a few times, but she has not been all that active and does go back to sleep in less than five minutes.

Direction for your Character: Survive and get back home. She will help to the best of her ability but understands her limitations. Having a good friend or two wouldn’t hurt. She’s not looking for any romantic involvement at the moment, but she does desire for intimacy and physical contact, though this is not evident.

@Xandrya Your profile looks great.

I just want to point out that Dr. Biermann is the Head of the Medical Team, and Dr. Jennings would be working under him. Not a problem is it? The two of you could contemplate some interactions via PM if you wished, or the two of us could PM some ideas.

Feel free to post to the IC if you're ready. And welcome.

[Xandrya]

@ItIsJustMe that's not a problem! I will catch up on reading what there is so far and submit a post after.

[Xandrya]

Bio updated! And btw, I work FT and I'm a toddler mom so I can post a few times a week but I wouldn't say I can do multiple posts per day. Just wanted to communicate that! =]

@Xandrya

That's fine, I can work with that. Often, with writers who cannot be online daily, I try to find interactions between characters that won't hold up the rest of the story if they are delayed; or I invite writers to create characters and their storylines that don't require interaction with other writers, plots that still add to the overall RP but can be slow in developing.

We will make whatever you are capable of doing work, I promise. :)

Hey, so I created a Chat Thread for us writers to use, sort of like a group PM. I don't want to use the "Seeking Thread" anymore; I'd rather leave it for actually seeking players.

If you would subscribe to it, we can use it to chat and to plot ideas and create character interactions. We can still use PMs, of course, but this will allow the three of us (and other writers who join if they do) to discuss the story.
