U N F O U N D

There's been a break since Anti-Heroes finished, and we've seen a vague hiatus in Helm and Taiba, which vaguely encouraged me to take up the mantle and try again. Partially because I want the community entertained, and partially because I like being in charge of stuff. A vague partiality mix.

Unfound will run on the same principles as Anti-Heroes, Helm and Taiba, with the exception being that instead of chapters posted for all to see, players will get an update on what their character is doing through pm.
This essentially means that we don't get players knowing too much of what they shouldn't, ie, what other players are up to on the other side of the world.
Unfound will also feature 'flashbacks', which will explore the past of the player's character. You will have no control over these, and thanks to an amnesiac plot device will be learning your past as your character remembers it. Whether this affects gameplay or gives you clues as to the general scheme of things is up to you.

Unfound is largely based on two cult television programmes, the first - and most obvious - being Lost, the second being the Prisoner (a show from the '60s, with very Lost-esque plot twsits and intrigue, as well as a few vaguely similar premises). Helm features heavily in some areas of gameplay and setting (Gestalt's a genius, I'm stealing it all while I still can). There are other cultural inspirations and references - whatever I'm reading or watching invariably seeps into my creativity sooner or later - but there should be the occasional spark of uniqueness as well.

T H E P R E M I S E

A modern setting, 2008.
The players are all the survivors of an unknown incident, who all begin washed up on a beach on an Island.
They do not know how they came to be on the Island, what they are the survivors of, who the other survivors are, or anything about their past. Gradually they will experience 'flashbacks' as to their past, possibly revealing secrets and explanations as to their present situation.
There will be challenges and intrigue on the Island...'cause it would be a fairly shit game otherwise, really. There'll be guns and stuff, I promise.
Survival, escape, or perhaps finding answers are all valid objectives for now.

C H A R A C T E R S U B M I S S I O N

If you want to take part, just fill this in and post it here. I might start limiting it if there's too much interest (I'm both ambitious and vain in my predictions) but hopefully there should be at least some interest. Player interaction, especially as you only know what your character knows and may come to rely on others for information as to what's going on, will be tantamount.

NAME Should be modern, first and last names, avoiding fantasy. Names like 'CHIDE WOODGRASS' will be shunned and mocked.
GENDER Male or female, I suppose. Let's not go too far into roleplay.
RACE/ETHNICITY You're all human. White Caucasian, for example. Not that I'm saying you should be white. I'm just...it was an example...
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN Uh...England...Wales...Scotland...Ireland...there may be more countries in the world. Check Wikipedia.
PERSONALITY Generalised details.
ARCHETYPE See Archetypes below.

Don't try and suggest backstories. The point is that you learn your past as your character's amnesia fades. It adds to the fun. Probably.
That or you end up hating yourself for what you've done in the past, and that you can't change it. Welcome to reality.

The Archetype has a purpose. Remember that.
It also gives me a suggestion of what sort of role you see yourself filling on the Island, and will influence your past and your skills at various things.

S C I E N T I S T Has an inquisitive mind, is curious, intelligent, willing and able to learn. May not necessarily have been a scientist, may have simply been a man of learning or logic.

S O L D I E R Capable of violence, but in a professional manner, rather than brutalised and angry. Able to take orders and follow them practically. Is more likely to be able to use firearms found, or to move undetected better. Not necessarily military in their past, may simply have had a more uniform and more obediant past.

M A N O F F A I T H Strong conviction, fervour, charisma, and often persuasive. Potentially a leader of others, but at the same time may in turn need something to be devoted to. Not necessarily a religious man or have a clerical past, may simply have been a man of conviction and determination.

D O C T O R A healer, compassionate and bound to help others in need. Potentially will be repulsed by or shun violence. More passionate and people-orientated than the SCIENTIST. Will not necessarily have a medical past, may simply have been overly willing to help others, to protect the weak.

L A W M A N One bound to justice and opposed to chaos and disorder. More willing to use violence to help others than the DOCTOR, but less willing to committ violence for reasons beyond helping others, unlike the SOLDIER.

This should work out nicely. Updates will be sent through pm weekly. Should I happen to be in such a good mood I send them faster, then that's nice.
Should I not get actions returned on time, they will be late. Which isn't nice. But also, not my fault.

Since there are no chapters to be posted, this thread can serve as general discussion about Unfound, or whatever...oh, assuming people are interested in joining in. Which, after such a long post, they surely will.
Surely?

[CryoDragoon]

I'M IN!!!! Expect a character sheet soon :banana::banana:

[Siиdяed]

Oh, good. :)

[Kiza]

I guess I'm in. That is, if master Sindred will allow me . . .

[Siиdяed]

...that's it, feed the power-lust. It won't end nicely if you keep that up. :(

Sure you can play. Just fill in the character submission and post it here and you're done. :)

...obviously not done, done. You still have to do the rest of the game.

[Omega Weapon]

OK I'm in, but some questions.


Archetypes; compulsory?

Also what would the archetype of a character like "Sawyer" be. Yeah we all know its LOST, I'm just sayin' it.


Also for example someone like Hurley? I don't see him as any of those particularly.



I'll post character sheet once I destroy 20 Metal Gear RAYs.


It's not even the damn last boss.

[Kromoh]

Yay.

NAME Willian Gray
GENDER Male
RACE/ETHNICITY Latino (is that a race?)
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN Chile
PERSONALITY Isn't much of the talking one, but his absent-mindedness is only apparent. He judges to the best of his capabilities before taking an action, and he doesn't bother about making his reasons known. If it isn't too much, I'd also want him not to be able to speak such a good English.
HAIR Short, dark brown hair.
EYE COLOUR Green. Green eyed hispanic are hawt :hump:
HEIGHT Proportionally tall, but not on the very muscular type.
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES Very long fingers, and nails slightly long. Thick eyebrows.
ARCHETYPE Scientist

Is that all?

EDITED: adding additional info

[Siиdяed]

Latino, Hispanic, it's all the same to me. That'll do, Kromoh. ;)

Yes, Omega, Archetypes are compulsary, but they don't necessarily fit everything. Hurley wouldn't fit them, exactly. Neither would Charlie, or even Sawyer.

There are reasons for this.

I'm not even going to pretend it's not Lost. :P
Though also Prisoner. Maybe other stuff too.

So I can't have a charlie-esque character?



:(



Also; did ABC work well?

[Siиdяed]

Bleh, you can have a Charlie-like character if you want. The Archetypes play a fairly minor role in the grand scheme of things, all the characters will have fairly mixed flashback backstories.

The Archetype is similar to the Alignment in Anti-Heroes, except far better defined...or rather, will be. Eventually.

I understand why you might dislike it, though. It prevents the more realistic average-Joe characters that very few people want to play emerging so well, but there is a reason behind this.

I'm almost up to date on season 4, Omega. ABC worked reasonably.

[GestaltAlteration]

I might join the only problem is I have a terrible habbit of not sending in actions for anyone's arcane arena roelplays. :P

WE SHALL SEE!

[Siиdяed]

Bleh, take your time.

Since there aren't meant to be new people turning up all over the place, I'd like to start Unfound with one large batch of players, and then kill them off until we get a nice usable number.

Something like that would be nice. Essentially, it'll be difficult to join after it's started.

Six characters so far? That's good.

I'll see about the golden dome. It's...vaguely entracing... :shock:

Maybe a few more characters, then I'm starting the game. Finally worked out a - vaguely - comprehensible and logical backstory, that wavers vaguely from Lost. Which is good.
Everyone likes originality. :)

Then this thread will be used for discussion, updates on rules or whatever, and maybe a few extra things to keep you all interested.

In each update you'll get your character's chapter, you'll get a time of day, an inventory, a map (that'll be revealed more as you explore more), and a health status.
That's right, I steal ideas.

I'll explain them more when we come to it. Right now I'm pretty happy with how it's all going and vaguely can't wait to start.

OH. I vaguely might have forgotten a few addtional things for the profiles. If you've already done a character, add these on here, or I'll remind you later. If you're just submitting a character, fill this in instead.
Sorry. :(

GENDER: Male
RACE/ETHNICITY: Hispanic (in a far, far past generation)
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: France
PERSONALITY: You could call him a ‘calculating bodyguard’, seeking to keep order in any group, avoiding any unnecessary arguments, making suggestions or input to solve a problem, and doing all this in a very controlled, calculated, and thought-through manner. He is silent most of the time, speaking up only when he has to, and even then having a slightly ironic tone is his voice (which is his kind of humour: irony).

EYE COLOUR: Brightly blue

NAME Kathleen 'Lea' Basya
GENDER Female
RACE/ETHNICITY Israeli - Egyptian - Spanish
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN Israel
PERSONALITY She derives pleasure from helping others and being kind. She's generally fiercely protective of those around her and will do anything for those she grows to trust. Lea adores structure and will do anything to uphold it. She gets lost if her world 'falls apart'. Her mind is generally considered 'weak' as she's not afraid to cry. She's oblivious to other's feelings when she's in a passionate mood (which is a lot) and although she is quick to see her mistakes and apologize, she often hurts others without realizing it. Some may consider her intelligent, but she is difficult to respect with her 'creative' way of thinking. Generally, she chooses to do things the 'hard' way and is obstinate, rash, and suffers from low self-esteem. [Feel free to out anything you feel doesn't fit]
HAIR Long, layered brown hair with hints of auburn and gold
EYE COLOUR Light brown
HEIGHT Short
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES An x-shaped scar on the palms of her hands, the one of her right hand was recieved by accident and the one on the left she cut herself; her noise is brutally sharp, even though somewhat small; a curved scar across the back of her right shoulder - it is a 'rough' sort of scar, recieved from scraping her back against a rough surface

Beyond that, no more character submissions.
This looks like plenty. Vaguely more than I expected. Should be fun.

Need to check that you're all aware of the system (same as with Anti-Heroes, if you missed that try post #20 in the Anti-Heroes thread) and that you all will be able to send actions on at least a weekly basis.
I'm not saying avoid holidays, I just want to know that you'll all keep me aware when you're absent. Essentially, don't agree to do this and then never speak again.

[Siиdяed]

That's just kay. ;)

U N F O U N D

Players will be sent a weekly update (may be more or less regular depending on response time by players) with character status, time, map, inventory, the character's chapter and a flashback.
After receiving and reading the update, players may then respond back via pm with their actions, detailing what they want their character to try and do next. As with Anti-Heroes, you cannot invent new things or write prosaically, simply say "I want my character to walk along the beach towards the East" and the character will attempt to do so.

CHARACTER STATUS
Character status will change depending on what happens to your character, and will affect the character's capability to function as normal. You may find your character is in more states than one at times.

HEALTHY - The character is healthy and uninjured, with no affect on the character's capability to function.
MINOR INJURY - The character has sustained a minor injury of some kind, which will have a middling affect on the character's capability to function as normal.
MAJOR INJURY - The character has sustained a major injury of some kind, which will have a severe affect on the character's capability to function as normal.
DEAD - The character is dead. Functioning as normal generally stops here.
HUNGRY - The character is in an area in which there is no food source. You do not need to specify eating habits in your actions, I will automatically assume you are eating well if you are near fruit trees/fishing shore/deer grounds, this state only comes into effect if you are, for example, locked in a room without food for extended periods. Has a minor affect on capability to function as normal, remaining in this state for extended periods will result in death.
THIRSTY - As with hunger. I will assume you carry bottled water around and refill it when possible. This will only come into effect should you be trapped in a place without fresh water.
FATIGUED - If you do not specify that you sleep during the night phases (or any other time), your character will become fatigued, which has a minor affect on the character's capability to function as normal. Remaining fatigued will exacerbate the effects and eventually result in the character collapsing.


TIME PHASES
Each update will move on a phase in time. If your character is involved in more immediate action that would occurr faster than the time phases, I will deal with that until you are up to speed with the other characters. All characters should be on the same time and day.

DAWN
MIDDAY
DUSK
NIGHT
MIDNIGHT

If you do not want to become fatigued, I would advise you to specify where you sleep in your actions for the NIGHT phase (so once it would be in response to the DUSK update). You're NIGHT update will simply report that you sleep through, unless you are woken for whatever reason.
The length of time your character is asleep will be judged by myself, based on character's discipline and exhaustion.
Obviously you may decide you want to be active at NIGHT in which case you would specify where you sleep for another phase instead. So long as you sleep at least once a day you will not become fatigued.

MAP
A map of the Island, showing everything the character is aware of. The map will uncover itself the more you explore, and should help you find your way around the Island.

INVENTORY
Will summarise whatever your character has in their inventory. You may be told you cannot carry more, in which case you may have to lose items from your inventory, perhaps by storing them somewhere safe on the Island.

CHAPTER
Events that have happened involving the character, you will not be informed of anything the character would not know about, ie, what another character the other side of the Island is doing.
You will be responding to the events here in your actions, which you send in a pm to myself in response to the update in question.

FLASHBACK
Events that have happened in your character's past. You cannot change these or decide what you did in your actions. They may be helpful or they may be shaming, or they may be entirely misleading.


And that is essentially that. Which is saying something.

If you want to discuss the game with each other, I won't/can't stop you. Simply be aware that not everything you are told will necessarily be true, but also that teamwork will give you an advantage over players that don't confer.
Helping one another complete the map may be of interest, or it may not. Knowledge is power, especially if you don't consider the players as a 'team'.

[Inkheart]

I've never been in an RPG before, so I probably won't be too good with the whole actions thing. I'll try my best though :D

I've been there before too Inkheart, not knowing how to RPG. This is a bit different from normal ones, but it's easier than you'd first assume.

[Siиdяed]

It's far easier than I make it look. :P

Don't worry. First update should be ready any time soon. Then we'll talk it through until everyone's responded with actions. No deadline first time, because we need to know everyone's happy with the system.

On an edit, first update done.

This is the map you all have. Later on you'll have different maps, because you'll have seen different places, and gone different ways.
It looks fairly shit, to be honest, but will get better as you explore. Promise.

http://imgplace.com/image_bin/1684/c9cc320d8f4ea5cf9262c6170977b88c.png.th.jpg (http://imgplace.com/image/view/c9cc320d8f4ea5cf9262c6170977b88c)

Click it to enlarge it. The cliff is to the West of the 'ARRIVAL' spot, and the direction the tower is supposed to be in is into the forest to the North-East.

If you aren't sure what to do, I would suggest you talk to the other players. See who is doing what. Try and stay in a group that you trust if you don't think you'll last long alone.

Sharing information will probably help fill in pieces you might have missed. You all saw the same thing on the beach, but there will be details some people got and others didn't.
The flashbacks may be of interest, as well.

Obviously there may be people who think knowledge should be protected. Which is probably sensible too, for different reasons.

Essentially, this first decision is whether to go around the bay to the cliff top (smoke, white-washed wall, people?), into the forest (tower that you can't see...um...), or stay on the beach (and sulk?).
You might decide to do other things, of course.

In terms of groups, I would suggest anyone looking for allies does so now, and gets in a group with people they trust. Move together.
If you're looking to act alone, that works too. For different reasons.

[Inkheart]

Ya, I've looked at all the other kinds of RPGs there are and this is by far my favorate. I like the idea of being able to make aliences and keep secrets and all that kinda good stuff.
PS. I'm a LOST addict so this's gunna be really fun!!

Inkheart

[Kromoh]

Bah good work, long but fun xD

:thumbup:

So, I really like the feel of this. Everyone gets his own update. ROXXX

So when do I go rampant and kill everyone else?

[Lucidbulbs]

Oh my, not even done reading it, but nice. Khakis >.<

[Siиdяed]

Khaki is fashionable, damnit.

Bleh, too long. Way too long. And, ya, that is what she said.

In the future they'll probably be reduced, and you might not always get flashbacks. Which is fair enough.

[Lucidbulbs]

Kay, since there are no due dates yet, I'm going to have to wait, kind of busy with no-pay work. I got an interesting flashback, but I should have seen it coming ;) That's all I'm going to say about it.

[Kromoh]

NOOO

I want flashbacks.. and flashforwards... and slowmotion... and pause and stop and rewind and undo and redo and abort and stop and shut down. And record.

[Lucidbulbs]

Haha, get DVR or something, then again, that only works for TVs.

Wait, does everyone get a flashback?

[CryoDragoon]

By the way... Anthony Burgess... Isn't that that guy who wrote 'a clockwork orange'? :)

[Kromoh]

OMG just had such a deja vu. I had never even heard of that film, but I watched it last wednesday at the english class. These coincidences happen all the time for a reason.

[CryoDragoon]

The book's way better...

If you watch the movie you'll be missing out a lot. If only for the writing style: I personally love the futuristic slang he's written the book in.

Really... Read the book. It's great fun ^^

[GestaltAlteration]

I can be joining now? >:{

[Kromoh]

I still laugh everytime I read "Unfound". Oh, the plagiarism xDDDD

[Lucidbulbs]

I wants Gest in too >.< he's got magic writing skills. See, dome fetishes have their downside Gest.

[Grod]

Gest in//

but finish Helm first.

[Siиdяed]

Psh, I'll write Gest in later. Right now I need to kill people off first. :(

You should have submitted a character earlier, foo'. :P

Oh, and read Clockwork Orange.

[Lucidbulbs]

Yay~ Sin's lovely, time to kill sir author? There's plenty of Soldiers to put to use, ick, imbalance of archetypes.

[Siиdяed]

Plenty of damn Man of Faiths to use, damnit.

Luc found a flashback secret!!!!!1111!!!!!!

[GestaltAlteration]

NAME Ted Smith
GENDER Male
RACE/ETHNICITY White as a ghost. Well, maybe that's going too far.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN USA
PERSONALITY Is caring but not gullible. Especially kind to women. Real talkative; NOT QUIET unlike every other player. :P
HAIR Short blond hair.
EYE COLOUR Dark brown.
HEIGHT. taller than average man, but not that much taller.
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES He's good looking, has a real devious smile and, uh, nothing too out of the ordinary, m'kay?
ARCHETYPE Doctor

[Siиdяed]

NAME Should be modern, first and last names, avoiding fantasy. Names like 'CHIDE WOODGRASS' 'Contra' will be shunned and mocked.

NAME Contra

...whut?

[GestaltAlteration]

Happy? >:{

[Kromoh]

:lolxtreme:

Sindred is trying to control our minds.

[Siиdяed]

first and last names

NAME Rachael

...whut?

[GestaltAlteration]

Bah! I gave her the most common last name ever out of rage!

[Siиdяed]

...excellent. :)

I'll kill someone off soonish. Then work out a way for you to join.

Don't worry, they'll slip up sooner or later.

[Lucidbulbs]

I'm happy~ Cept, I have no clue why you'd choose to be a girl, but whatever, your RP character, not mine.

[Siиdяed]

I don't like to ask.

Also, there is no tower.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/56/G_turm_augarten.jpg/800px-G_turm_augarten.jpg

[GestaltAlteration]

Bah now I'm going to change it to a guy. :?

[Siиdяed]

Called Rachael Smith?

[Lucidbulbs]

Sexy tower. It's an illusion to send people out in the wrong direction~ [Just kidding, if I knew the truth Sin wouldn't let me play]

[Lucidbulbs]

Called Rachael Smith? The doctor didn't realize that the baby had a special addition when he told the mother.

[GestaltAlteration]

OH, you steam me up! Ted Smith will kill you.

[Siиdяed]

Now where does Ted Smith fit into the story...hmm.

Wait until a few people have died. Which they will. I'm looking to increase the death rating in Unfound significantly, because it means less writing for me.

Which means I need a supply of new recruits wanting to play. People like Ted Smith.
But also Man of Faiths. Won't stop killing 'til I finds one.

[Lucidbulbs]

Just kidding, Gest, you know I care~

[GestaltAlteration]

Now where does Ted Smith fit into the story...hmm.


Ted Smith should be in charge of the island's gold dome!

& I know bulbs :hug: Ted Smith is going to kill Sindred, not you. :P

[Lucidbulbs]

O.O But then Sin will haunt me for a story, then it'll be a deviant of Shutters.

[Siиdяed]

The Smith & Wesson mark 500 revolver (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%26W_Model_500) is built on Smith & Wesson's largest frame - the X frame - and is boasted as the "most powerful production revolver in the world today" by its manufacturers.

On a different note, I'll remind people who haven't seen it to investigate the largish post about Unfound character states and time phases...it's on page 3, anyways.

[Inevitable Craze]

Hey, that was a sexy update. I'm pleased with Lea xP

[AmazeO XD]

I enjoyed my flashbackkkk

[Lucidbulbs]

Mine was great~ Though, I wonder why- oh nevermind.

[Kiza]

Nice first update, the flashback was pretty good as well. Alex turned out good.

[AmazeO XD]

Mine was great~ Though, I wonder why- oh nevermind.

.... *raises eyebrow* You fancy yourself a knife-maiden?

[Lucidbulbs]

knife-maiden? What's that? I was just wondering what an acronym was, which was cleared up to me by Omega.

[kaeraz]

Totally dig my flashback. I'm excited to find out what happens! I'm scheming up what actions to take right now...

[Inkheart]

My flashback was quite interesting, and confusing :p
Anyone who wants to make an allience with me, please go ahead and PM me!

Inkheart:)

[Kromoh]

Who would want to ally with you? lol

[Inkheart]

If that's all you wanna say than why did you even post?

[AmazeO XD]

If that's all you wanna say than why did you even post?

LOL!

[CryoDragoon]

This sucks... I wanna get you all to go to the cliffs, so I'll have to PM you all :shock:....

[Kiza]

This sucks... I wanna get you all to go to the cliffs, so I'll have to PM you all :shock:....

You could just forward the message to all of us.

[Siиdяed]

It's easier to kill you off now you've divided like this. :)

In a way, it's an interesting allegory for life, and indeed faith and reason. Those headed for the Tower - for which we have nothing but spoken word evidence for - are very much those that believe, it could almost be described as a metaphor for belief in God. After all, the Tower is something we have no proof for, but which sounds far better than the thing we have actual proof for, the Smoke.
That people ego inland, into a forest, putting themselves in danger, over something they have no empirical proof for, is one of those interesting facets of humanity that I think we've really brought out in this allegorical context.

...um...lulz.

[Kiza]

It's easier to kill you off now you've divided like this. :)


Oh . . . Goody.

[Siиdяed]

Bleh. You'll be fine, silly.

[Kiza]

Bleh. You'll be fine, silly.

Sure I will, you'll keep saying that right until I get a polar bear clawing at my face. :P

[Lord Toaster]

This is the map you all have.
http://imgplace.com/image_bin/1684/c9cc320d8f4ea5cf9262c6170977b88c.png.th.jpg (http://imgplace.com/image/view/c9cc320d8f4ea5cf9262c6170977b88c)



Wow, and I thought Gest's Helm map was bad :P

One thing I don't like about this rpg is that people who aren't in it can't follow it :(
Another thing I don't like is the massive majority of soldiers :?

[Siиdяed]

Mmmm. I would probably agree on both points.

PM-system chapters make it far more realistic in that you can't cheat and spy on other players. You can still ask them what they're doing, but they can lie. That's where it works very well.

It fails in that, yes, people outside can't see what's going on and because it means a lot more work for me. :(

If it helps, I will probably put up all the chapters and after the first season, which will probably be maybe 12 chapters.

If you want to play, put up a character profile. I'd rather introduce new characters in bigger batches than one by one.

[Inkheart]

Arr you saying that if we split up too much you'll kill us off? I'm scared :p

Inkheart

[Kromoh]

Can we just try and swim our way out? lulz!

And what's with the Tower/Smoke nonsense? :boogie:

[GestaltAlteration]

He's giving a foreshadow to the gold dome which will play an imperative role in the story and the universe.

[Kromoh]

Yes. First one to reach it (probably you) dies. :lolxtreme:

[GestaltAlteration]

I'm not a player yet. Meaning I'll probably be starting my adventure around the time you breath your last.

[Lucidbulbs]

Oh noes, he's already confirmed he wants the world to be another World Of the Flies story. Anyways, if you kill us off, can we make new characters?

[Grod]

You will perish.

[Lucidbulbs]

I take you too.

[GestaltAlteration]

Nothing like a little bedlam, mistrust and murder. Ted Smith will use mad skills to clear out the playing field.

http://www.sutree.com/upload/ntokylatacnvflxvhhlee/dukenukem3d.jpg

[Kromoh]

Nothing like enjoying a good, tourist-less beach when you can.

These Unfound people complain with their mouth full.

[Lucidbulbs]

Complain? Who has time to complain, it hasn't even been a whole day yet.

[AmazeO XD]

I won't die. I am invincible!

I hope.

[Lucidbulbs]

Well, our fates are entirely in Sin's hands at the moments, then probably someone else's as they attempt to dig for your soul.

[Inevitable Craze]

Lea's too sexy to die xP
And you won't kill her, right?

[Lucidbulbs]

Lea's too sexy to die xP
And you won't kill her, right? Conceit kills Bim, just remember that.

[Inevitable Craze]

Conceit kills Bim, just remember that.

Pssh, sarcasm, darling ^.^

Sarcasm kills too, though :O
-shot-

[Kromoh]

I'll kill Lea myself ^^

[Lucidbulbs]

Ah, the perversity in jokes >.<

Can't kill 'er if you can't wake up, ever think of that?

[Kromoh]

Like, stuck in a lucid dream? COOL!

[Inevitable Craze]

You wouldn't kill Lea! would you?

That would make me cry.

[Lucidbulbs]

Not if you were in a coma then drowned, people in comas can't cry.

[GestaltAlteration]

Repus Oge gets robot pants now?

Oh, right, this is no longer anti-heroes.

[Kromoh]

Not if you were in a coma then drowned, people in comas can't cry.

Good idea. Anyone see a beach somewhere around?

Repus Oge gets robot pants now?

Oh, right, this is no longer anti-heroes.

xD

[Inevitable Craze]

What situation would result in me getting put into a coma?
I'm not doing anythign dangeroussss....

[Kromoh]

Getting drowned could get you into a coma.

Or, severe bleeding. XD

*takes knife out*

[Siиdяed]

Should I try and moderate this thread or just leave it how it is?

I could scream for O any time I wanted, you know.

[Omega Weapon]

Scream and I'll cut ya.

[Siиdяed]

Fair 'nuff.

Still need Omega and kaeraz actions.

[Lucidbulbs]

O.O Siи has lovely friends. Rather friendly, I might add.

[Siиdяed]

I that kinda guy? ;)

[Kromoh]

Does my char get invisibility, belong to an ancient utopia, have big white wings and have mind control and not age?

Say yay and I'll do a stupid dance: :boogie:

[Grod]

That's me, silly.

But feel free to dance for me.

[GestaltAlteration]

[Lucidbulbs]

Meh, if only, I wonder if any super-powers will exist.... Lost has freaky psychics and time-travelers off and on but that's about it.

[Siиdяed]

Shit, the raptors can open doors now.

[Lucidbulbs]

O.O Should I be worried or curious right around now?

[Omega Weapon]

O.O Should I be worried or curious right around now?

You should shut up around now.

[Lucidbulbs]

You should shut up around now. Fine.... *grumbles*

[Omega Weapon]

Fine.... *grumbles*

Not reallly.


Talk away dear.

[GestaltAlteration]

So....

You really are you.

[Lucidbulbs]

Not reallly.


Talk away dear. Haha, well, talking's no fun if I have no one to talk to >.<

[Inevitable Craze]

Chelly is a silly.

Drowning me is pretty difficult ^.^
And besides, why would someone want to cut me? I would make a mess.

[Kiza]

Hey Sindred, Now that Omega is banned are we allowed a new player? And is he gonna be killed off or will he turn into a non-player character?

[Omicron]

Hey Sindred, Now that Omega is banned are we allowed a new player? And is he gonna be killed off or will he turn into a non-player character?

Just because someone is banned it doesn't stop them from playing.


You are new of course, but you will probably know that Omega was someone very famous before and continued various RPs after Carou was banned, in the form of Omega.

Sindred is still in complete contact with him, so I wouldn't expect him to be going anywhere.

[Kromoh]

Yep. I wondered the same thing about Taiba. Thankfully I have his email thingie. ^^

[Siиdяed]

I can talk to Carou/Omega in reality, so it works out fine. ;)

Kaeraz, talk to me. I need to do the next update. Ideas are coming out my ears. :P

[AmazeO XD]

Doesn't look like Omega is going to be answering anytime soon, considering he's BANNED.

[Siиdяed]

...no, but I can talk to him in real life. I just said that. :P

[AmazeO XD]

...no, but I can talk to him in real life. I just said that. :P

I failed to look at the last post. SRY

Yeah, I know Omega is Carou, I just forgot for a moment that he goes to the same school as Sindred.

[Lucidbulbs]

Ouch, now it's very lonely again, was he perma-banned again? Poor thing. I'm sure the RP will continue with him somehow.

[Siиdяed]

U N F O U N D

Mexico, 1866

"We're out of water."
"We're always out of fucking water."
The capitaine grinned and dropped his pack on the ground. His friend grimaced as the dust settled, and spat.
"Napoleon not sending us back yet?"
"No." the capitaine said, ruefully. "Not yet."
"Got to make his Latin Empire first, hasn't we?"
"Yes." the capitaine agreed. He bit his lip, slightly, and stared thoughtfully towards the horizon.
His friend sat and waited a moment, before shifting in his faded blue tunic. His forage cap was coming undone at the seams, and he shifted it to cover his eyes.

"If you could have anything, right now, what would it be?"
The capitaine thought, carefully. In the distance, small pockets of gunpowder smoke billowed and were carried away in the breeze. Mexicans. Guerillos from the Juarist Army harrassing the Foreign Legionnaires every mile they marched. They couldn't be chased into the jungles or villages without the legionnaires getting divided or lost.
The capitaine knew a man who'd got separated from a patrol in a village, and been garrotted. By women. They'd had to fix their bayonets to retrieve the body, and even then they'd been mobbed with stones and angry calls.

"Capitaine."
He shook his head. "An island. A quiet island. Somewhere to start again. Away from all...this."
"Ah." his friend nodded, understanding. "You want to get away from it all, Bulgakov."
"God gave us Eden in the beginning." Capitaine Bulgakov said, firmly. "He sheltered us from the evils of the world. Adam and Eve proved unworthy, but why should we be judged by their merits? Why is every man not born on an island, to make of it what he will? To be judged as an individual, and not as his ancestors were?"
Bulgakov took the offered cigarette and smoked, quietly. He watched as a legionnaire rested his Minié rifle against a low adobe wall and dozed beside it. He considered making a reprimand but decided against it. Let them rest.
"It is interesting that you should say this."
Bulgakov did not turn his head to look at his friend.
"Why is that?"
"Because my family have recently come into some fortune."
Bulgakov snorted. "Legionnaires of the Foreign Legion do not have fortunate families."
"Maybe not with your Russian imbreeding." his friend grinned.
Bulgakov laughed. "Get on with it, Heller."
"My father bought an island...a tiny affair...just east of the Caribbean. He died last year. Left it all to me. Came through in the dispatches last week."
"Fortunate." Bulgakov shrugged. Sergeant-Major Heller grinned.

There was an explosion, and the two rose. Bulgakov shouted, his voice lost in the roar of gunfire.
Beside him Sergeant-Major Heller cocked his Minié rifle and knelt, taking aim.
"That means they dealt with our sentries. Do you know any French?"
Bulgakov shouted again and the soldiers around them formed line. He pointed, shouting.
Heller shrugged. "I ought to learn it some time."
A crack and a man spun, his head a jelly-like mess. Bulgakov drew his revolver and fired in one fluid motion. It was a Colt. Not regulation, but as neat a piece as any he would ever find in Mexico, or France for that matter.

"That island of yours, Heller..." he managed, cocking his revolver against the ball of his hand.
"Yeah?"
Bulgakov grinned. "Room for one more?"

[Omicron]

Ouch, now it's very lonely again, was he perma-banned again? Poor thing. I'm sure the RP will continue with him somehow.

Maybe he's still here, under another account.

[Siиdяed]

He's pretty good at hiding it, by the looks of things.

[Lucidbulbs]

I'm assuming the story you posted is related to UNFOUND? Because I can't see you promoting sporadity here at the moment. I'm too lazy to think it through at the moment. Hmm, I think I'm over using "at the moment" right around now >.<

[Grod]

[Siиdяed]

Hmmm, what war was that exactly?

Historically, that would be French Emperor Napoleon III's attempt to create a colonial empire in Mexico, his 'Latin Empire'.
Not so much a war as conflict with the settled Mexicans, who put up resistance in the form of guerrillos.
The biggest battle of the period was undoubtedly that of Camarón, in 1863. It's still a big part of French tradition in the form of Camerone Day. Heroic stand of the Foreign Legion and the like.

Essentially their Mexican campaign was the point at which the French Foreign Legion attained the legendary status it has today for being a harshly-disciplined unit in which men go to escape their old lives.

Ya, turns out I like history.

It might be relevant, or it might be misleading. Nunno. Updates should be done this weekend or earlier.

Oh, okay. For some reason, I was thinking about the Wars of Independence in Latin America with Simon Bolivar, but then I remembered that came before 1866. xP

History is fascinating ^.^

[Lucidbulbs]

Ick, don't say fascinating, more like, interesting to a degree. I was thinking before 1800s, bleh.

[Omicron]

Even if one detests a gun, one can learn to use it and kill with it, even if they rather not to, but under the circumstances of necessity, they shall.

Must write updates. Today. Maybe.

[Lucidbulbs]

How's the writing going? You sure you can write them with all your work lingering about?

[Siиdяed]

...we'll find out Sunday. :)

[Omicron]

...we'll find out Sunday. :)

aha.

[GestaltAlteration]

Hurt me more!!

[Lucidbulbs]

...we'll find out Sunday. :)
Sounds fine by me [so long as it doesn't cost you your sanity].

[Inkheart]

Today's that day :D

Inkheart

[Omicron]

Hurt me more!!

HURT ME MOREE!!

That's it, Snake. Hurt me more. Make me feel alive again!



Only a fool trusts his life to a weapon.

[Siиdяed]

Yeah...Sunday or Monday. Maybe Tuesday.

It'll definitely have -day on the end of it, however.

Maybe. About halfaway through the chapters. Done all the cliff-goers, moving onto the tower-goers. Then the drifters.

[Lucidbulbs]

Cool, so long as you survive tonight, I don't mind putting up with delays.

[kaeraz]

Waahhh. I hope it's today. The suspense is killing me softly.

[Kiza]

It's already Tuesday. Update nao?

[Lucidbulbs]

O.O It's Monday over here still. Same for him too. Oh well.

[Kiza]

Oh, damn. What time?

[Lucidbulbs]

I think where he is, 10:00 PM or 22 [same thing].

[Inevitable Craze]

O_____O
Buggy people?

I hate Monday's >.>

[Inkheart]

Doesn't everyone hate mondays??! :D

Inkheart

[Siиdяed]

That's right I failed. This once.

Updates almost done. The first few will be sent shortly.

On an edit, I'm sending the first few now. Some are exceptionally longer than I expected them to be, but that's okay at this stage. Once you know most of the environs and such there'll be far less need for detailed description.

[Kiza]

Woah, I thought you killed me off there for a moment. But you didn't, which is good.:P

[Siиdяed]

I'm not killing you off until you've had the chance to make mistakes. :P

Sorry about that, as it happens. Still, there's always other people to ask for help.

[kaeraz]

Yay! Updates were awesome, Sin.

I really hope a certain someone doesn't kill me off too soon. :D

I think I made the right choice...and by that I mean I already replied with my actions. :banana:

[Lucidbulbs]

Umm, did I get a long chapter Sin? Because if that's short I gotta say: amazing. I likes the map~

[Inevitable Craze]

I likes this map too xP
And my update makes me happy =]

[GestaltAlteration]

The update doesn't make me happy.

[Kromoh]

The update doesn't make me happy.

Just one other update, don't worry ^^

[Lucidbulbs]

Indeed Gest, Sin won't have you waiting too long. My concern is who suffers for it. And who can move faster when it comes to racing.

[Siиdяed]

I think there will be room to spare fairly shortly.

That, and I know why and how I want new characters.

[Lucidbulbs]

Hmm... cold killer.... Anyways, are the maps the same still, or different, or mystery?

[Siиdяed]

You mostly all have fairly different maps. Obviously people that went the same way and explored the same places got the same maps.

[Siиdяed]

Still require actions for:

Kromoh
Omicron
Lucid Bulbs
Inevitable Craze

If I didn't send you an update, or lost your response, still would like to know.

[Lucidbulbs]

Ah, I'm sending now, sorry, forgot to send it >.<

[Siиdяed]

Don't be worrying, you aren't the last. :P

[Lucidbulbs]

Are these going to be long from what it looks like so far?

[Siиdяed]

Eh. Not so much this time.

I hope. :shock:

Kromoh to go. Neat.

[Lucidbulbs]

Haha, well, I hope that what ever length they are, they don't cost you an arm. Or a leg. Maybe you could spare a kidney or two though.

[Kiza]

Eh. Not so much this time.

I hope. :shock:

Kromoh to go. Neat.

Only Kromoh? If so, good.:D

[Siиdяed]

Kromoh may be absent teporarily - until I get his actions we'll just have to wait.

His are fairly important. :?

[Kiza]

Gahh, Damn you Kromoh!

[GestaltAlteration]

In the meantime...

;)

[Lucidbulbs]

Haha, I wish he'd send in his actions. I want to see what happens next.

[Kromoh]

Lol people I've sent them already..

Stop putting the blame on me, Sindred, that's bad bad :bslap:

[Siиdяed]

Ah. Now you've sent them. :P

Will get updates done...soonish.

[Lucidbulbs]

Ah, I'm sorry Kromoh, just curious to see what happens next.

[Kromoh]

Ah. Now you've sent them. :P

Lol :shock: liar

I've sent them weeks ago :embarrassed:

If you're gonna put the blame on me, at least warn me of it. Everyone seems to be mad at me now :?

[Siиdяed]

You sent them yesterday. :P

I might be giving you a chance to redeem yourself, you rogue, you.

[Kiza]

So Sindred, how long till updates done? 2 minutes? 3 Minutes?

[Kromoh]

4 minutes is my bet.

Anyone noticed my avatar and sig are... pinker? Rumour is Wave is corrupted xD

:hug: Wave

[Siиdяed]

Monday is my guess.

Though I'll leave the possibility of today in the air.

[Kiza]

Monday is my guess.

Though I'll leave the possibility of today in the air.

England's Monday? Or America's? Or some other obscure countries Monday?

[Siиdяed]

England's Monday. It's of superior quality.

[Kiza]

England's Monday. It's of superior quality.

Ah, no. Australia's Monday beats England's Monday in every aspect.:P

[Siиdяed]

Do you want your character to see Day Two?

[Inevitable Craze]

Do you want your character to see Day Two?

Oh damn, a threat :O

[Kromoh]

Brazil's monday it is.

[Lucidbulbs]

Haha, So long as I see a Monday pop up, I could care less which one it is.

[Kromoh]

Haha, So long as I see a Monday pop up, I could care less which one it is.

2020's monday it is.

[Lucidbulbs]

O.O I don't think I have withstanding memory to remember then. Unless by 2020 you're referring to seconds rather than a certain year, then I could wait.

[Kiza]

Do you want your character to see Day Two?

Uh, oh . . . The Australia was a typo. It was meant to say England. And the one saying England was meant to say 'every other countries Monday.'

Nice cover-up, Kiza . . .:paranoid:

[Siиdяed]

That should be all the DAY ONE DUSK done. If I missed you, TELL ME.

Made my first mistake. Sent the wrong update to the wrong person. Or was it a mistake?
It was a mistake. Damn. I rushed it. If I've done this to anyone else, tell me. I'll make sure you get your character's update.

Oh, and I think I forgot to give the Bulgakov a toilet. Oh noes.

Regardless, that was eventful.

Oh, and:


N E W C H A R A C T E R S U B M I S S I O N

Should you arrive late to the UNFOUND scene, or lose a character and want to rejoin, the next batch of character will be introduced potentially fairly soon.
Simply fill in this character submission form - as opposed to the one in the original post - and wait patiently.
Gest, this goes for you too.

These are not the same people as the first batch.

NAME Should be modern, first and last names, avoiding fantasy. Names like 'CHIDE WOODGRASS' will be shunned and mocked.
GENDER Male or female, I suppose. Let's not go too far into roleplay.
RACE/ETHNICITY You're all human. White Caucasian, for example. Not that I'm saying you should be white. I'm just...it was an example...
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN Uh...England...Wales...Scotland...Ireland...there may be more countries in the world. Check Wikipedia.
PERSONALITY Generalised details. All characters are assumed to be desensitised to combat to some degree and are disciplined.
SPECIALISED ROLE See Specialised Roles below.

The Specialised Role has a purpose. Remember that.
It also gives me a suggestion of what sort of role you see yourself filling on the Island, and will influence your past and your skills at various things.

It is, however, a different thing to the Archetype. The Specialised Role is something you were trained to fit.

O F F I C E R A leader. Determination and authority are the Officer's main assets. Average in combat. Armed with a handgun and melee weapon.

G R U N T An average, all-purpose soldier. Largely desensitised to combat. Able to take commands. Armed with an assault rifle and handgun.

S N I P E R A lone-wolf, often detached from others. Exceptionally desensitised to combat. Proficient at long-distance combat, not so able at close range or hand-to-hand. Armed with a sniper rifle and handgun.

M E D I C Superior ability at medical practition. Below average at any form of combat, though still above the average citizen. Calm disposition when working, even under fire. Carries medical supply kit. Armed with a handgun.

E N G I N E E R Superior ability at engineering and technical problems. Below average at any form of combat, though still above the average citizen. Calm disposition when working, even under fire. Carries technical supply kit and explosives. Armed with a handgun.

Oh, and I think I forgot to give the Bulgakov a toilet. Oh noes.

Regardless, that was eventful. Well, if we do need to use the bathroom, I vote that there's an outhouse or hole in the ground on two sides of it... I rather don't like the idea of someone watching you take care of those needs....

You made this very hard on me Siи, so many choices and possibilities. You know I like to analyze every possible avenue before diving in.

[Siиdяed]

But you have a nice fun choice of things to do. :shock:

Lots of things. All sorts. Not sure if I should say more than that while there are others watching, though.

[Lucidbulbs]

Haha, maybe not? Only those who were there... or wrote it, would know what's going on right now over here, not that other people need to really know. Not like it made Gest pop into the show :(

[Siиdяed]

Not yet. Would like an update character submission from Gest, following the system in post #244.

All new character submissions - and I would like some - should follow this new system until told otherwise.

[Kromoh]

Can I secretly create another DV account and join so that I have extra influence?

:D

Also, do new people joining get flashbacks?

[Siиdяed]

The status and backstory of the new characters is entirely different. What they decide to tell you is up to them.

They will not be introduced for some time, however. Still need you to figure a few island facts out, first.

[Lucidbulbs]

Gah. Do I get to ever see my past? I'm lonely here. Living off of a false(?) hope of being granted insight to myself. And yeah, island facts: the island is surrounded by water.... You are in the middle of nowhere :D I got that much on island facts so far.

[Kromoh]

As in, there's a secret weapon at the centre of the island only females can access?

*watches all new characters being female*

And yeah, island facts: the island is surrounded by water..

Or not. Suspisciousness is the key.
