Otaku-sama Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 [spoiler=Plot]On December 20, 2012, the last day on the Mayan calendar, many people held their breath, waiting for the predicted apocalypse. Instead of the fiery apocalypse of death and destruction people expected, a massive mountain range sprouted in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, seemingly out of nowhere. Almost immediately, world powers sent exploration ships to this new mountain range. When they returned to their superiors, they did so with pockets full of precious gems. The mountain range contained resources of all kinds and all nations set up mining expeditions to the now dubbed Treasure Lane. This mining continued without incident until March 12, 2014. Then, miners began dissappearing around the area of the Switchback Mountain, named for its strange shape. Attempts to search for the missing miners were fruitless until one party found a stone with mysterious markings on it that looked like writing. It wasn't another for another three years until another search party was sent to find the missing miners. [spoiler=Rules]- This is an Advanced RP, so always post at least 3 lines. That is the bare minimum. I will urge you to write more if your posts are consistently less than 5 lines.- All other RP rules apply.- Do your best not to jump ahead in the story. I want to control the plot. If you are pressed on what to write, do some character interaction. That is what will make this RP interesting.- Secret word is: maya [spoiler=Application] [b]Name:[/b] (character name, match it with nationality) [b]Age:[/b] (at least 20) [b]Country of Origin:[/b] (the country your character is sent by) [b]Personality:[/b] (a few lines on how your character usually acts) [b]Appearance:[/b] (focus on your character's features more than clothing, as clothing will be changed) [b]Bio:[/b] (explain your character's life, explain why your character wants to search, 1-3 paragraphs) Secret Word: Delete all in brackets. [spoiler=Accepted Applications][spoiler=Blazinghydra - Thomas Fidelity]Name: Thomas Fidelity Age: 29Country of Origin: United Kingdoms, specifically England Personality: An irritating individual, Thomas' personal philosophy is "It isn't fun if they aren't annoyed". Considered an odd bird, Thomas is known for bad puns, almost OCD-level of odd habits, and acting a bit too friendly while also being much too far apart. He's very emotionally distant, and can never speak seriously about anything. If he is interested in something, it is generally compounded by an outburst of childish glee.Appearance: Thomas has soft features, a weak chin and eyes set a little too far apart. He has longish black hair that reaches down to his shoulders, and wears a pair of purposely mismatched contacts; One giving his eyes a blue color, and one clear one, showing his dark brown natural eyes. Both are clinical lenses he is near-blind without, but are a special type designed to last long amounts of time and deflect dirt and dust.He is roughly 5'11" tall, with thin but strong arms and athletic legs. While his general clothing changes, he prefers brown leather over anything else, and always wears a short-rimmed brown cowboy hat no matter where he is.Bio: Having grown up in England, Thomas' childhood would have been completely normal if he himself weren't abnormal. Discontent with playing with other children, Thomas was constantly mischievous, and loved seeing people knocked from their normal routine. He was nigh-impossible to punish, due to his lack of interest in conventional toys and whatnot, and just as often didn't care either.Thomas did not improve with age. In High school, he was considered a bad-tempered genius, obtaining near-perfect scores in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and most maths. However, he suffered in creative aspects such as English and such courses, that gave him no enjoyment. While he attended University briefly, he quickly dropped out, believing that higher education was not for him. Since then, he moved to Scotland and got a job at one of the nearby national parks, taking care of the mountainous animals and making sure tourists did not get lost. His skill in navigating cave systems and around non-civilized areas eventually led to him being picked up as part of the country's top Search and Rescue missionaries, despite him constantly being reprimanded for not being able to work as a team, or respect his superiors.

[spoiler=Fenrir - Dominic Yeager]Name: Dominic Jaeger (Means hunter in German, also, pronounced 'yay-gr') Age: 22 Country of Origin: Germany Personality: Dominic is rather sarcastic, witty, dry, and blunt. He won't miss a chance to call someone an idiot, or point out someone's stupidity. This being said, he cares deeply for his friends, but won't show it.

He also wears a short cowboy hat, resembling an Australian outbacker. Bio: Dominc was born in Bremen, Germany to a German father and Australian mother. His father was in the military, while his mother worked as a conservationist. She often told her about her work, and about the wildlife she tries to protect. His father died when he hit 13, and he was relatively unaffected by his death. He was rather bad at school, not because he didn't understand the work, but because he didn't want to work. Due to this, he often ditched school, which gave him a bad reputation.At the age of 14, he began to go to shooting ranges, and practiced shooting guns. Over the course of his life time, he became skilled at this. As soon as he graduated High School, he started as a demolition man. He was quite skilled at using the correct type of bombs and planting them in correct places. As soon as as 2012 hit, he didn't care for this mayan prophetic island. His mother was very interested however, and went on in expedition crew. As soon as she was reported missing, he became worried. The German government, knowing his skills in demolition, survival, and sharpshooting, sent him as part of their contribution to this expedition. He has several reasons for going, all fueled by the loss of his mother. 1. To find new ores, and items that can be used for explosives.2. To document wildlife. 3. To find his mother.

Hydra of Ages Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 The problem may be the name. "Switchback Mountain" doesn't scream excitement.
