Ocean Rescue

Welcome to Haven, an island sanctuary for sick and injured animals. Here they are cared for until they are strong enough to be released back into the wild. Given as a gift by a kind-hearted millionaire to a young conservationalist, the owner has dedicated the island and the surrounding reef as a permanent rescue and rehabilitation facility.

While the buildings look rather simple, the equipment inside is the best money can buy, courtesy of the same woman who donated the island. Each holding area for the animals is sectioned off areas of the ocean and beach, using natural sea water and rocks and corals for atmosphere.
The main vet office, the bungalows for the employees, the storage warehouse, the dock, the rescue boat and the radio tower, are all made from natural recyclable materials and built into the landscape. Very little of the island's topography was disturbed in the construction.

The island itself is fairly isolated, supplies coming by sea plane from a larger more developed island some miles away. People will sometimes bring animals to the facility or more often will radio the facility with reports of an injured or ill animal. The island is open for people to visit, but for day trips only and they must get permission.

For a time things were going well. But now a threat looms on the horizon in the form of a business mogul who wants the island for their own selfish purposes. With threats, intimidation, sabotage, storms, loss of supplies and other problems, can the facility survive to continue its mission : to give animals a second chance at life?

~~~~~~~~~~~

This rp will be a small group with heavy focus on character development.
I will be keeping track of the animals at the facility and keeping a list for them in the character tab. Your choices will effect if the animal survives and is released, or dies.

Rules:
1. No bullying others or picking apart their posts. This rp will run on the saying "believable, not realistic".
2. If you have an idea, please ask! The worst that can happen is I say 'not right now'. I do have a plan in place but it is very flexible. I want people to participate. Do not be afraid to come up with ideas.
3. No God-modding. If you make a mistake and an animal dies I do not want complaining. You can present an argument for your choices if you feel I made an error in judgement and I will review it. No one knows everything. We can't all make perfect choices every time, especially in the heat of the moment. The best way to avoid mistakes is to read my description of animal injuries and illnesses very carefully before acting.
4. I may get rather gory in descriptions of injuries and swearing is allowed. But anything romance related (if there is any) must be taken to PMs or fade to black.
5. Once I do a GM Post (Which I will indicate at the top of the post) you have a week to react to what is going on before the next GM post. If you need more time for any reason, please let me know. Once again, I am very flexible and will make allowances for good reasons.
6. I reserve to right to add more rules should they be needed.

Prized Bride (A New Beginning)

Amalia Solair

_{Bride of Unknown
Interacting with: Lienna @Obscene Symphony}

Amalia woke to pain. It seemed that was her whole world now. It was still dark outside but the first light of dawn could be seen blushing the sky. Amalia wrapped her blanket around her and went to stand at the small window, looking out at the few stars beginning to wink out. Much like the will of the more headstrong girls here would begin to fade out before disappearing altogether.
Putting weight on her heels made her wince, but it was at least bearable. She ran her fingers through her hair, attempting to make it presentable. Would it be too much to request something to comb her hair with? Probably. Best not to ask for anything. Better to wait until they felt like providing it.

The door was thrown open as rudely as the day before, but it was expected. Amalia followed the other women to the dining hall, biting her lip to keep from whimpering with every step.
Unlike the fruits and brightly colored offerings from the day before, now she only saw meats and other heavy foods of the Drakken. The smell of it made her sick to her stomach. She had never eaten meat before. Her father's land had been on the sea so fish had abounded, along with vegetables and some fruit traded with other nearby holdings. But meat? They had never had a need for it. What was she to do? She couldn't not eat. But she also didn't want to become ill.
One guard eyed her sharply as she hesitated over the meat. Not wanting to get into any more trouble Amalia put some on her plate along with bread. Most Gems were eating the meat without issue. Amalia's stomach lurched at the sight of the fatty juice dripping onto the plates. The smell was offputting as well, not enticing to her in the slightest.

Her eyes scanned the room and she spotted the girl from the day before, Lienna. Amalia felt terrible. She had been in so much pain the day before that she had not responded when Lienna tried to speak to her. It had been so rude and that was one thing Amalia never wanted to be.

Carefully making her way over, Amalia sat across from Lienna.
"Please forgive me. My pain distracted me yesterday and I fear I ignored you. I am so very sorry. It was unintentional, please believe me."

She looked around at the other Gems who were eating the meat and swallowed past her suddenly very dry throat. "Have you... ever eaten this?" she asked, then realized how strange the question must have sounded. "My home was by the sea. We ate fish and vegetables and sometimes fruit. I have never had meat before," she explained, poking at it with her fork. "Will this make me ill?"

After a few minutes talking with Lienna a hush fell over the room as the warden entered. Amalia paled, if such a thing was even possible with her fair skin. Her heels pained her too much to leap up quickly to kneel. What if she was punished again?
Panicked, Amalia leaned over the bench she sat upon with her face near the seat, praying it was enough to avoid angering the Drakken.
Her fears were unfounded. He barely acknowledged the women as he passed by. Amalia sat upright again, her hands shaking with a mixture of anxiety and relief. His announcement was a shock to say the least. A hot spring? And they were being allowed to enjoy it? To actually enjoy something?
Amalia looked at Lienna with fearful worry. What if it was a trick? A cruel joke to excite them only to dash their hopes? Another tactic to break down their spirits?

"What if they lie?" she whispered to Lienna, not wanting to be heard at any cost. "What if this is a veiled cruelty? Lienna," she said, reaching across to take the other woman's hand. "I am afraid. I do not want to be. I want to be strong as I was trained to be. My whole life my parents were preparing me for this, for the time I would be taken by the Drakken. But now that is has actually happened... I am so afraid."

Summary

Amalia wakes to pain and goes to breakfast. She wonders and asks Lienna if the meat will make her ill since she has never had it before. When the warden makes the hot springs announcement Amalia doesn't trust it and confides to Lienna that she is afraid.

@RisenSun

Thank goodness someone is! I started to feel very depressed. I have put a lot of thought into this and was afraid no one would be interested.

Prized Bride (A New Beginning)

I will be posting in about two hours

Ocean Rescue

This is a roleplay I have been building for a while now and I finally have enough sorted that I feel I can open it up to people for interest check.

A tropical island is the setting, with a group of people who love animals and the ocean. They have built a sanctuary for injured and ill marine life. There the animals are cared for until they are healthy enough to be released back into the wild. That is their mission.
But a businessman wants the island for himself, to plunder its riches for his own greed. He will do anything to drive the team off. But that is not their only threat. Storms, mysterious illnesses, low supplies, loss of animals... all of this and more will plague the team and the choices players make will influence whether the animals in their care and the sanctuary itself survives or fails.

A movie producer once said "believable, not realistic". That is essentially how this rp will work. The location of the island is described as 'tropical' because no specific location will be decided. That way we are not restricted as to the kinds of animals we will be able to rescue (except you know, no polar bears and such). Also by not listing a specific region of the world, laws of different countries will not apply either.
This rp will be focused on character development and very story driven. I already have various "chapters" set up, each with various happenings for players to respond to. Once we finish with the last one, and if there is enough interest, I will make a season 2 to maybe add a... supernatural element...

If you would like to play our villain please pm me with your ideas of who he/she will be. If no one wants the job I can pull the strings on the villain myself.
We will have a small group of several specialists focusing on either animal care, maintenance, computers and supplies or security.

Please let me know below if this would interest you and any ideas you may have that could be included. If you would like to apply as Co-GM or would like your character to have a preset relationship with mine (who will be a female marine vet) please pm me.
Thank you for reading this far!

Prized Bride (A New Beginning)

So I am not allowed to go to my new cousin's adoption hearing because apparently wanting to strangle a woman who beat a four year old to the point of near death is frowned upon in our society 🤷🏻‍♀️

@LadyRunic

I think you are excellent at communication for the people who pay attention to what's going on. I have been majorly guilty of not paying attention in this and other rps as well but I am determined to not be that way any more.
