The Game

[[AC: Welcome subjects. In the coming months, you will be participating in an experiment. If you look to the cabinet to your left, you will see one APT Science Corporation standard issue Survival Bag. This will be essential to your completion of the obstacle course.

Good Luck]]

Explanation: 7 people from New York black out after hearing a voice calling them, and wake up inside a room Outside is an island full of traps and monsters. The goal is simple: Make it to the "Safe point" on the other end of the island to be transported back to their home. Each one has a Survival Bag that contains food, water, a weapon, and a strange cell-phone.

Notes: We'll be using the roll to dodge system. Basically, when you want to take an action that poses some danger/has risk, the GM (Me) rolls a 6 sided dice and bases the result on that, with 6 being the best and 1 being the worst. If you're hurt, you get one or more Injury Points. When rolling, you take a penalty equal to your Injury Points. If you have 3 Injury points, you fall unconsious. If you have 7, you die.

Characters are not immortal, and its quite possible yours may die. If this happens, don't fret, you can make a new one.

When you sign up, I'll tell you your weapon.

Sounds good, except I don't think he should be quite up to ninja level yet.

Weapon: Bradley Kimura II Butterfly Knife

It's meant to be ninja-like but not really like a ninja, as close as you can get as an untrained amateur. I must've mis-worded and not very clear.

Huh, okay choice of a weapon.

Alrighty then.

This still here?

Ja

• Name: Hiro "My Nickname's Too Long!" Mortal
• Age: 15
• Gender: Male
• Background: Hiro's parents disappeared in the infamous Deus ex Machina incident when he was 12. Since then, he's been working as a private eye and occasionally a drummer in the Bronx to support himself because he doesn't want to be a Burger Fool. Believe it or not, he actually makes more as a private eye than he would flipping burgers at Mc Donald's.
• Personality: Hiro is a cynical Deadpan Snarker who's learned the hard way how to survive. He may seem like a smart-aleck, but he's actually a nice guy once you get to know him. He's also especially daring- he loves snowboarding through the Big Apple during snowstorms.
• Appearance: Trenchcoat over a white T-shirt, brown shoulder-length hair, a soul patch, and blue jeans. Athletic, tall, though a bit scrawny.
• Skills: As a private eye, he's got plenty of experience with police work (he's worked with the NYPD on a couple of cases) and isn't too bad at improvising weaponry. He's been living on his own for three years, so he knows how to survive with next to no resources. He's a passable cook, too. His survival specialty is cold areas- put him in a blizzard and he'll find a way to come out with just a bit of frostnip.

I'll come up with a character tomorrow... maybe.

Yet another bump...geez, I hope this doesn't become a stillborn RP.

It happens with many of them. Promote it through your sig or something.

Come on, I've been wanting to use Linus for years now.

Bump...waiting is for chumps!

If you guys are still doing this I like to partake

Same! But as it's apparently died, I'll wait before thinking. :3
