[OOC] This Hurricane's Chasing Us All Underground

[RomanAria]

That eclipse should not have happened. It's almost impossible that it did happen. Someone, somewhere, should have predicted it. These things run like clockwork. But it looks like the clock broke. Everything went wrong when that goddamn clock broke.

As the edge of the moon caressed the halo of the sun, a chill broke across the surface of the earth. Just for a split second, everyone on the planet shivered. Now, if you've never seen a solar eclipse before, you don't notice anything until the moon has nearly covered the entire sun. Remember, the sun is bright. So when the light slowly started disappearing for each sliver of the sun being covered, it was the most exquisite thing ever witnessed by human eyes. It inspired such appreciation in each person that many fell to their knees and wept for the beauty being drained from the world, colour by colour, shade by shade, emotion by emotion. The world as we knew it was being sucked dry, all that was being left was a husk of a husk, a shriveled, decomposed corpse of a 4.5 billion year old body. A shroud fell over the planet, descended from the desolate halls of Heaven, Asgard, Jannah, Shamayim. It blanketed the world in grey. For all you know, you are the only ones left, trapped in your school as your teachers standing at their windows fade from sight, their memories and soul like a lake in a drought, drying up and vanishing. It is then, in the dawn of the quiet, when the first scream of tortured souls and chained hearts pierces through the shroud seeking retribution for past transgressions and unpaid debts against no-one but life itself.

---

You are a teenage student in a school. You did not know the eclipse was happening, and so did not witness it. You must rebuild your school so that it may thrive and you may live, looking for a solution to this event, if there is one. You must defend your school from the human enemies and otherwordly alike as they seek to defeat you for many reasons. You must live, lead, learn, survive, and fight.

Aaaand... lights please! *flicks the lights back on*

Hello and welcome to This Hurricane's Chasing Us All Underground! This is a reboot of an RP that my friend and co-gm @The Scotsman ran a while ago (it is by his permission that I'm recreating it). For more information look below or ask any questions here.

A link to the Old Interest Check which could be useful for anyone seeking more background. You can also go read the old RP to get a further idea of how this was run before.

BEWARE OF STRONG LANGUAGE, STRONG VIOLENCE, STRONG GORE, DARK THEMES, AND POSSIBLE ROMANCE (if you so wish it).

Rules
1. You must be reasonably literate. I try to interact with poorly written posts as much as I can but it breaks my flow of visualization and I try to let myself get fully immersed into the story.
2. Use common sense. Don't godmod, don't metagame, don't start shenanigans in the OOC. Two strikes and you're out.
3. Any questions, comments, suggestions, criticisms, drop them here or PM me and I will try to accommodate you as much as possible.
4. Happy hunting!

CS Template

Name: Jim Clarke

Age: 17

Appearance

Year of Education: (Not sure on the American equivalents, will edit this later)

Favourite Subject: Shop class

Personality: A quiet, aware, and hard-working kid, Jim makes an effort to do what he needs to to a very high standard. He has quite a pull over the other students in Shop. A natural leader that doesn't force anything on anyone because he simply doesn't care about being leader. Not the brightest but well-versed in electronics, pneumatics, hydraulics, and anything else that moves, and manages to avoid his mental downfalls being noticeable by keeping his mouth shut when he doesn't know what's being discussed, but this also goes beyond intellectual discussions, and Jim is mostly quiet all the time as he doesn't feel the need to tell people much at any time.

Significant Relationships w/ any Characters: (Will edit this later)

Other: (May update this before the story begins, can't think of anything at the moment)

If there's anything you don't like or want me to change, let me know. I love old me for deciding on a small CS, I've grown to despise the overly large and unnecessary ones.

[RomanAria]

Juliet Tompson | Age 16

♦Appearance♦
Standing at 4'8, Juliet is a petite and slender girl. Her hair falls to her slender waist and she normally keeps it clipped back away from her face. She weighs around 98lbs. Her eyes are a bright blue though when she is upset or anger they tend to darken. She has pale skin that burns rather easily in the sun with a light spattering of freckles across her nose.

♦Year of Education♦
Sophomore

♦Favorite Subject♦
She is torn between English and Art.

♦Personality♦
Generally a quiet girl, Juliet normally fades into the background. She is the kind of person who prefers to take the pictures, not be in them. She tends to blurt a lot of things out without realizing it or thinking about her words. Juliet also gets embarrassed and flustered way too easily; often blushing and hiding her face. She is somewhat of a klutz, managing to trip over her own feet more often than not. However, she can be very stubborn if she feels like it. She also puts others needs before her own and in most cases she reacts without thinking of her own well-being: if someone is being hurt, Sage will immediately try and protect them with any means possible without even considering herself.

A decent cook, Juliet is wary around knifes from the time she almost took her thumb off when chopping vegetables for dinner. She is a night owl and not much of a morning person. She can be very OCD when it comes to certain things, especially her books and room. Having never had a boyfriend or even kissed a member of the opposite sex before, she is painfully clueless about the romance world. She is also considered a book worm and is normally seen curled up in a corner with her nose stuck in a book or drawing in her sketch pad.

♦Background♦
To say Juliet had been loved as a child would be over-exaggerating. Her father, an Irish man, was a wealthy business man for a computer company and her mother, an Englishwoman, didn’t work. Her parents had not married for love but to bring two wealthy families together. Her father was always at work and her mother was out at parties all hours of the day; that being when they weren't moving everywhere on the face of the planet because of her father's work. Everywhere they went Juliet's parents always hired some kind of nanny to watch her. Her parents never paid attention to her and when they did they were detached, not really caring about the conversation going on. Juliet did everything she could think of to get her parents to notice her. She eventually stopped trying after she made a horrible grade on a test just to see how they would react. Her father never looked up from his tablet and her mother just gave her a customary glance, replying “That’s nice dear.” Juliet faded into the background and even though she was surrounded with so much stuff, she was horribly lonely. So, she took to reading every book she could get her hands on. She was found in the library more often than not. She just loved how she could escape to the worlds between those pages. As well as her new-found reading hobby Juliet took up art and drawing as well as photography, immersing herself into far-away worlds she drew and wishing she could escape to. Recently, her family settled down and Juliet was once again a new girl at school.

♦Significant Relationships with any other Characters♦
Will update

♦Other♦
Juliet suffers from asthma that can be triggered through fear, panic, or sometimes even stress. She has a fear of the dark as well as tight spaces.

[RomanAria]

@XxLyraxX Accepted!

@Keyguyperson what's to stop us from putting in nuclear fallout later? Hehehe

[RomanAria]

I'll have my characters up sometime this morning. Apparently being sick also means being hyperactive and not willing to sit down and work on CSes.

[XxLyraxX]

@RomanAria
A friend whom I haven't seen for three years is coming over today so I will be back on later this evening. ^^

[RomanAria]

Bump! Still looking for new players!

[The Scotsman]

Have you considered writing an Interest Check? I'll be away for the next few days, but I'll try and have a look when I can!

[RomanAria]

@The Scotsman Oh. That would be... a good idea. I'll get on that.
