LOST: It Begins

[Abaddon]

Welcome!​

Perhaps it was that undercooked meal you ate last night, perhaps it was taking the red pill over the blue pill. Too much cheese before you went to sleep? Perhaps you fell into the wishing well and finally left that life you hated so much behind. Whatever it was, Dorothy, there may be no place like home, but this certainly ain't Kansas!

Theres just clouds.. and sky!

Wait a minute.. you are laid down, the sky is meant to be up isn't it!

You look about yourself. Nothing, NOTHING is recognisable.

You can see an old hut in the distance, some pine woodland even futher away. You are laid down, wearing your favorite clothes in the middle of what looks like a pumpkin patch.

WHAT DO YOU DO?​

How to make a citizen:
​

You can make one citizen and their optional family per round. Follow this template:

Name: Their first and last name.
Age: Their age.
Era: What time are they from? You can pick ANY date.
Physical Description(optional): What they look like for extra flavor.
Personality: How they are likely to interact with others.
Primary Skills: I'm not going to place any restrictions here(unless I deem it too extreme, in which case I'll tell you to change it), so be creative. This will determine what their likely professions will be. Keep it between 3 and 5 skills.
Secondary Skills: Other skills that will be useful to them, but likely won't determine their actual professions. Keep it between 5 and 7 skills.
Bio(optional): Include some background information on the person and his family.
Beliefs: General outline of their political, religious, and ethical beliefs. Determines how they are likely to act and what they are likely to support.

Family Members: If you want your citizen to have a family create templates for them as well. Since this is anarchism anything goes, monogamy or polygamy. Gay or straight. For children the beliefs and personality sections are optional as well. Bios only need to be made for the primary citizen.

Sign-ups are currently CLOSED, but please, submit characters, I may let more get involved as the game progresses

 

[Abaddon]

Ok, So what is this?​

This my friend is a new game I have just made/stolen/reinvented from various places.

Together we are going to build a new world.

We don't know ANYTHING, only time will tell.

I'll control the pace of the game. Sometimes we will move forward only days, other time years.. it all just depends how the mood takes us.


It is you, your interactions that make the game. As more and more players get involved, perhaps there won't be enough pumpkins to go around? Perhaps that hut should be explored? Are we even on earth anymore? Who's king, who made you king.. etc ...etc... etc

Beliefs: Believes in a nationalist ideology, with anarchism as it's antithesis as a threat to "society"- without things such as a "national leader", who is to prevent secession or annexation by other "nations"? For now, he has not decided to reveal this to the world.

Name: Tom Duke
Age: 29
Personality: A hermit by nature, he's most likely to be a loner, live by himself. Most of his social interactions are from the Internet, not in real life. Due to that, he has more free time, and he used it to study, making him much smarter than people his age. When engaged in conversations, he's most likely to talk about his favorite thing, Biology. Tom finds the study of animals to be fascinating, and won't stop talking about any recent discoveries he did.

He has since foiled eighteen criminal plots and four elementary school field trips.

If any of my skills are innapropriate, just say. Or if my character needs a total overhaul.

 

[Abaddon]

Nope, could be a very fun character to roleplay indeed

Update 0.01

Aiken scans the around him. He swears that that guy wasn't there before.. but about 20 yards to his right is someone else.. he seems to be trying to form the shape of a pumpkin with his body?

"Oh well, at least I am not alone!" Aiken exclaims to himself.

He wanders over.

Christopher, how do you plan to greet Aiken?

 

[Angst]

I'll lurk for now. Potentially joining in a couple of days; busy as it is.

 

[Till]

Thanks for the invite! I probably won't have time, but i'll subscribe anyway.

 

[Anonymoose]

Name: Robert Goldson
Age: 65
Physical Description(optional): Not a handsome man... bald, but the kippah he wears helps that out. Tall, lanky, looks pretty hungry. Wrinkled face, no facial hair.
Personality: Worked at the YMCA for 20 years, loves kids and young people, genuinely friendly.
Primary Skills: When he wasn't at the Y, he worked his gas station with his wife. He did the taxes and he stocked the shelves. Not too impressive, but it payed the rent
Secondary Skills: Pretty good with his hands, can dribble a basketball, thanks to the kids.
Bio(optional): Just his wife, Delilah. They couldn't have kids of their own. They live(d) in a small brownstone, nice and tidy.
Beliefs: High morals, donates a solid 10% of his earnings to the Y, making sure the young people have a place to go. This generosity has spread (as it has a tendency of doing) into other realms of his life, and the only thing he despises any more is greed. He isn't political, he would rather just see people get along. He's witnessed his fair share of violence while living in his neighborhood, but believes that good will come out on top in the long run. Unlikely to blindly follow people or even act in a hasty manner.

 

[Abaddon]

Update 0.02

Goldson stands up an stretches. He isn't too worried about this sudden strange situation around him. He figures its probably a dream anyway. He checks his pockets.

1 x Candy
1 x small pencil
1 x penknife
lint.

He can see the a hut off in the distance, with a forest in the opposite direction.

What do you want to do?

 

[Anonymoose]

Bert reckons that the forest could be dangerous, but so could a strange hut. A hut? That sounds downright savage. But a forest is definitely going to be savage. He turns toward the structure and decides that some human contact would be nice, perhaps some directions. Ahh. A peppermint. "I'll save it in case there are kids at the hut," He whispers to himself.

 

[Captain2]

Name: Ernest Dickens
Age: 25
Physical Description: Brown haired, Brown Eyed, Purple shoed, Wears a bowler hat along with a black undershirt and a purple and black vest, has striped grey and black dress pants on
Personality: Dependant upon first impressions, if the person in question is first seen screaming at someone else he'll be more wary than he would of someone soft spoken and kind
Primary Skills: Incredibly spiffy dresser, Good knowledge of government and history, makes an excellent batch of cookies if needed, Multilingual, Can lie with ease
Secondary Skills: Can do the vulcan salute, very healthy, Charming, Ability to pick up on body language easily, Excellent at finding ways around various tasks
Beliefs: Very self important and knows just enough about various religions to seem as though he's well studied with them. Is unwilling to do charitable acts unless he sees some kind of personal gain in the long run from it. Tends to blindly defend his points of view until he's proven wrong entirely.

 

[Abaddon]

Update 0.025

Eww! It was warm and damp.. Ernest put his hands down

*squeltch*


Argh! He was in some boggy woodland clearing!

He scrambled up, brushing the moss off his soggy bowler hat.

"How this just won't do, now, what the blazes.."

Finally taking in his surroundings.. thick trees, everywhere!

What do you want to do?

 

[Captain2]

After I'm done making sure my outfit is alright I suppose I'll go north

 

[Abaddon]

Update 0.026

Adjusting his clothes, a little soggy, but otherwise still in good condition Ernest sets out into the forest in the direction he believes is north..

How did you decide which way was north?

[Eltain]

Christopher discreetly looks Aiken up and down. "Hey, how you doin? Where are we? Maan."

 

[Captain2]

Ernest's definition of North is whatever direction he's facing when he stands up

The world can adjust to fit his directional needs

(If I'm not out of movement, can I check my pockets?)

 

[Abaddon]

Update 0.03

Adam laid still for quite some time. Finally, after giving up trying to work out where he was he sat up. He could see a hut, a pumpkin field with two people in it (one seemingly rolled up in a ball) and on the other side of the hut, a third person. Far to his right was a road way running along the side of a forest. In his pocket is his cell phone, the latest and greatest SPF3000, full battery. His wallet was also there, credit cards, I.D. and some small change.

What do you want to do?


OOC:If it isn't obvious, i'll keep throwing in mini-updates until you guys start meeting up, then the updates will have to be bigger and more organised. I imagine as time goes on, the length of time (in game) between updates will also increase. I hope to create an interesting "adventure" for you guys to enjoy
