^Do it. I have already made my post and think Solekii should just write his second post garsh darnit.
^Again? When will you ever NOT be busy?
1 mile.. *pant*
another mile... *pant*
10 more miles...
*pant pant pant*
I pant. Obviously. The sweat is dripping from my forehead, and the sweat in my neck and clothes has gotten sticky. I stop running to take a deep breath of forest air. Then I take another good look around, only to find myself surrounded by the trunks of trees, as ever. That was another good run! I can feel my body adapting to this world by the second. I love this place! The forest, the trees, the smell, the fresh air, the (weird) animals, the sky!
Is this a dream? Is this evermore? Ah, I don’t care. Finally I can really experience nature as if I was the first man on Earth.
This place is anything but my ideal resort though. I mean… apart from the fact that everything seems hostile – at least initially -- the weird colours everywhere don’t feel natural. If anything it is a mockery of nature, but I won’t complain. I am content to have somehow ended up in this place.
Sure, at first awakening in this freakish world seemed like a nightmare, but after having been here for a day or so, I don’t think that I mind. This place is all that I ever wanted. No industrial machines, no avenues, no city sidewalks.
There is no one here to blame me, no one here to hurt. So much space to occupy my mind. This must be a taste of what true freedom is like!
I keep walking forward, past the many trees. The forest doesn’t show a sign of ever ending. I tread over the fallen leafs into the great unknown. No idea what I will be expecting beyond this area. Even this forest looks messed up.
Then I hear muttering coming from somewhere nearby, from the grove. What the hell? I pause.
I think it came from that way. I force myself through some bushes before seeing someone trotting by. Another human? So I am not the only person here? I’m unsure whether I should be relieved or not, but this guy looks all right. (He looks sorta odd… though.)
‘’Hey!’’
I shout to get his attention.
The person turns his head and sees me standing just a few meters away. Before giving his appearance much thought I continue:
‘’You stuck here too?’’
…
The guy seems flustered by my sudden approach.
‘’Listen, we should probabl—‘’
‘’GRRROOOOOOOOOOÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓ!’’
What was that?! A massive roar shuddered the trees and silenced the singing of the birds, I lower myself and look from where the sound came. Then, from the clearing between the trees appeared a gigantic… dog…-ish creature. But clearly that is no ordinary dog, and it’s not looking very friendly either. With hunger and fury in its eyes it gazes at the two men. For an instance it appears to be inspecting us.
The beast proceeds to approach us quietly and carefu-- nevermind, suddenly it leaps towards the metrosexual hipster!
Total panic broke out for the both of us and I instinctively flee. But… I can’t just leave that other guy behind. But what can I do?! Jump on the beast’s back? Might well be the only thing I can do if I want to help him.
Then my gaze catches something laying at my feet… a number of pinecones. Well, not cones from pines but from whatever these weird trees are supposed to be. Desperate and with no better idea coming to mind, I pick up the cones to immediately throw them at that canine, before it can launch its teeth into that sod.
A pinecone hits its head but the beast appears to ignore it. Too focused on its ‘prey’. All the while the other guy is stumbling and trying to get away.
‘’SHOO! GO! Find other prey you damn beast!’’ I begin screaming, shouting, jumping, growling and generally making as much noise as I can to divert its attention away from him. I throw pinecone after pinecone -- and anything else I could find nearby -- until it finally looks up into my direction. Behind the beast I see the other guy running off into the woods. At least he’s safe, whoever he is.
The beast growls with teeth bared and saliva dropping down its fangs. Then it comes for me.
RUN!
Yo FrozenEcstasy! We should totally team up and then go look for the other peeps together. We can be 'Those Two Guys'. WHAT SAY YOU?

That almost never happens. Usually everyone has straight characters xP
I guess it only makes sense, because there is a patern between the people that get transported into this world, right? They're all people who are in trouble or have some kind of inner insecurity. They are usually all social outcasts or simply 'different' in one way or another.
To think in this strange world Menno's sexuality actually stands out because he is the only person that is straight.. xD
Name: Menno van der Waart
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Hair Colour: Fair
Eye Colour: What an odd question! Green-brown-ish. A swamp-colour I like to call it myself.
(Note: Menno has a natural deep voice. Puberty hit him like a truck.)
General Appearance: Dark blond hair, a few freckles, brown-green eyes, not too pale and not too tanned. Slender frame, slightly muscular (slightly). Pretty long legs (proportionally that is). Medium-length curly hair. Sometimes short hair, it depends. I hate to shave and as such often have stubs on the face, which will likely grow into a beard unless there is a barber somewhere in this world.
I usually wear a rain coat, gym shoes, jeans, a plain vest without too much colour. Oh, and I always wear a leather belt. It’s my lucky belt, I’ve had it for years. I think I’m going to need that belt right now.
Oh, I also wear a necklace with a cross on it. …Why? Well, I am a Christian, yes, but not devout. Relax. I am not going to preach the bible to you or something. I wear it more for the family value to it, because it belonged to my grandfather. So you can imagine it’s pretty old.
(I tried to find a picture but fuck it. I’m not too sure myself what he looks like anyway so I will leave it as this.)
Personality:
Menno is generally a man of few words. Wait, do I have to introduce myself or just fill in this list?
… what? I have to describe myself? Ok ok, Jesus calm down.
Right.
*clears throat*
Hello, my name is Menno and my favourite animal is the Orca. They are kind of cool and bad-ass. Like, a large killer whale, but that’s not the main reason I like them. I like the contrast of their colours – black and white --and the fact that they are one of the sea’s largest predators. What I find more curious is that they actually belong to the same family as the oceanic dolphin. Their downside is that they eat seals. Seals are cool too. Too bad the Orca’s prey on them, but that’s how nature works I suppose.
Oh, right. I think I know something I can tell you now. I like animals. I’ve always wanted a dog as a pet but my father hates dogs. He told me that if I want a dog I can get one when I move out of house. As a kid I liked to play with the dog of my aunt, where I had to stay from time to time when my parents were busy. My favourite dog is the German shepherd because they look like wolves, and they’re very trustworthy and social. It has always been said that dogs are man’s best friend, to which I can only agree. I’ve always gotten along better with dogs than I did with most humans it seems.
What? No, I don’t have some kind of tragic background story, relax. Sure, I got harassed sometimes but who didn’t, really? I let the past rest and try to remain optimistic. I don’t like to be a weakling who keeps whining about all the evil in this world.
… I used to be that weakling, but that’s behind me now. Trust me, there are millions, no, billions of people out there on Earth who are worse off than me. I am not a pessimist or nihilist (anymore) and I don’t like to complain.
I’ve got a short attention span unless the subject is something I’m interested in, like nature. That’s probably why my girlfriend broke up with me after a week. People always said that I’m a ‘quiet boy’ and that still applies to the present day. I like to think of myself as a man now, however. (He’s got an Attention Deficit Disorder.)
I graduated chemistry and biology and am currently studying to become a maritime archaeologist. People say that I’m intelligent -- despite my childish tendencies --, but I won’t brag. I am gifted in some aspects, and a failure in others.
My parents always told me I’m too ‘reckless’. I can give an example; one time when I was a kid and me and my mother were walking down a side walk of a busy Wellington street (New Zealand, where I grew up), a kid was walking in front of me with a balloon. Suddenly he lost hold of the balloon and it flew towards the street with the speeding cars on them. I jumped on the street to grab the balloon (which -- needless to say -- shocked my mother) and gave it back to the kid. My mother scolded me for ages after that, that I risked my life for a balloon.
For the rest I’m good at sports. I like jogging through the forests and swimming. As a kid I could draw decently but I haven’t drawn in years. My father didn’t appear to be very fond of me because there wasn’t really something I was good at besides animal trivia and lore about dinosaurs. But I graduated anyway, hugely because of biology and chemistry. I never was much for socializing and only got my first girlfriend when I was 19. Shut up.
I don’t care much for religion and I mentioned earlier that I’m not a devout Christian but there is still this quote I always remembered:
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also; and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles."
— Jesus
My grandfather told me it. I’ve always tried to live by that quote… which is not easy. Sometimes my moral code fails me when I am pushed into desperate situations. As a teenager I often fought against other teenagers and got into trouble in the process. But that is beneath me now. Violence is not the answer etc etc.
History: Grew up in New Zealand, got bullied, became good, graduated from school, just moved out of house to study maritime archaeology but instead ended up here.
I left certain things out of my history because they don’t matter.
Are you already in the group, or will you meet up with them?: He will meet up with them shortly.

There's also the man with the ravens and we'll get to him later.
He sounds like he is Odin. Is he Odin? And are those ravens actually Huginn and Muninn? So the place where the characters landed is actually Midgard.. I knew it!
HAI GAIS! It's me, Fiery! Long time no see eh!?
I shall possible maybe perhaps mayhaps create a character sheet, or maybe prepare for the one Solekii may or may not do after this one. Cheers!
