Okay, so this is an RP for people who are tired of fandom R Ps and want to put their Orignal Character to use.

The date is 1942, it's the middle of World War II, you earned enough money to take a break from home life to take a cruise, you have one bag with you for light travel purposes. The small ship you're on is crossing the Atlantic, and suddenly the underside of the ship is scratched by a German U-Boat causing water to fill the bottom of the ship making it sink. As you, the small crew, and the rest of the small amount of passengers aboard the ship scramble to the one life boat, taking you bag and any weapons you have with you. Your boat floats for a couple hours before coming across an island, unknown to you and everyone else, this island is a truly strange place. It is filled with evolved dinosaurs, a canyon filled with monstrous insects, Ape-beings, upright lizards, and intelligent dinosaurs covered in feathers, and several tribes of humans. The areas of this island are just as strange, for in you future journey's across this island, you will find a land of ancient Japanese culture, the ruins of an ancient civilization, The remains of an alien spacecraft, a swamp filled with many beings, the camps of allied soldier and the lab of Nazi soldiers and scientists. Do you dare explore the island or do you hopelessly try to leave and be swallowed up the ocean.

Name) Bryce Pacifico

Age) 21

Appearance) black fedora, brown hair, a diagonal scar on his cheek, white dress shirt, black tie, black vest, black dress pants, black belt, blck socks, and black dress shoes.

Personality) Cynical, not very social, but will protect the people he thinks are right from the wrong.

Backstory) An american born man. He was raised by his parents to be a war machine. So he never went out much as a child. Yet on the night of his twenty first birthday, he woke up in the middle of the night to find both his parents dead. By the looks of the bodies, they were sliced up pretty bad. Since that night, he's been looing for the murderer since.

Weapons taken along) He has a sword, but he keeps it concealed in a guitar case, but he doesn't use it often for some reason. So he just uses his fists.

Powers/Skills: He has high endurance and strength. Also quite acrobatic. He can block and counter most moves coming his way (not all of them of course.). The sword on the other-hand, his sword is made of some sort of hard metal that can block bullets.

Hell, I'll do it now.

  • Name: Dean Bennets
  • Age: 47, born 8th February 1895.
  • Appearance: Dean shows very little sign of his age, looking more close to in his early thirties than nearly fifty. He has black hair and stands 6'2". He has taken very good care of himself and it shows.
  • Personality: Dean for the large part is an introvert, keeping mostly to himself, a relic of his past. He is very proud of his achievements as a spy and holds anyone with a contempt for war or especially the intelligence services to be almost as bad as the Germans.
  • History: Dean was a British spy during the later half of the first World War. His intelligence was used to win the final phase of the battle of the Somme, a point he holds in high regard now it was declassified.
  • Weapons: Always carries a Welrod pistol and a small knife.
  • Skills: Excellent at picking locks, tapping communications, playing a part and staying hidden. Basically, any skill you would expect a spy to have, he has it.

@ Plumbum- he's certainly interesting, he's accepted (and yes guns are allowed, but wouldn't he carry a WWI pistol)

I don't know any WW 1 guns. Not quiet ones anyway. Besides, a gun that fires at 70db? (The action is louder than firing the gun!) He's up to speed with the latest.

So, out of interest, would you say my RP (in sig) is a fandom or OC RP?

[up] in thought, both, if it both contains fan characters and OCs, then it's both at the same time

EDIT: ya know I thought of joining that rp, but I didn't have an OC to stick with, but now I do so I think I'll join it once this rp starts going

I wasn't sure, since it sure straddles the line. But yes, I guess fan characters next to OCs does mean it is simultaneously both. Well, it's certainly interesting, what with a pony turning up and meeting an undead lizardman.

Okay, I apologize for double posting, but I need to list the areas on this island, the setting is just as important as the characters is a firm belief of mine, so I need to be specific on where the characters are, so here goes in no particular order (this will take some time for me to type)

  1. The Pit: An area filled with giant insects and arachnids among other spineless creatures, it's considered extremely dangerous so no one goes down it
  2. Gearsteam City: A 19th century Britain Steampunk Floating Continent, it's occupants were originally a group of ships of British passengers in 1856, who crashed into the island, but found an powerful source of energy, eventually built the city above the island, but keep it chained down, as letting it float would cause it to drift into space.
  3. The Central Desert: A large area in the center of the island, it has Sand Worms and a small human tribe, as well as some dinosaurs
  4. Howaitou~indo Village: An ancient Japan like area, it is a Samurai village, but it has shinobi assassins for the samurai's dirty work
  5. The Crashed Spaceship: The remains of an alien spaceship, it's AI is still functioning and it contains some weapons, may also be the source of energy for Gearsteam City
  6. Ashgabat: A high walled city, which does not it treat visitors kindly, its citizens are descended from various crashed ships of several sea-faring Arabic traders
  7. The Five Shiil Villages: Shiils are the intelligent protobirds of the island, and the five are on good terms with the humans of the island
  8. Fusce Rectus Villages: Known as Upright Lizards in Latin, they are the resident Lizard Folk of the island, and are only on good terms with the Shiils and selective human villages
  9. Fallen Swamp: The swamp that not even the proud Fusce Rectus go into, it is extremely dangerous and many have died entering it
  10. Nazi Lab Base: A recent addition to the island, the Nazi group has done horrible things and is such a target of massive antagonism from the other occupants of the island
  11. Stranded Allied Camp: A camp of soldiers from the Allies, they were either from destroyed ships or shot down planes and survived
  12. The Pirate Camp: A group of pirates, who seem to be plundering the rest of the island from time to time, still behave like 16th century Caribbean pirates due to being stranded and lack of communication (yes pirates)
  13. City of Eau Ainsi: A Paris/Venice looking city, it is a city made up of passengers of old French ships and it built on several water ways, hence its name
  14. The Forest Fields: A grouping of forested plains, it is home to several life forms, especially an evolved kind of tyrannosaurid
  15. The Thickwoods: The general forest of the island, it stretches around every part that isn't the forest itself
  16. The Biene Hive: A hive of Bee People made at the Nazi Base lab, they escaped and live their lives, all are female, except the drones, which are not viewed very highly by the Biene or anyone else
  17. The Akkedis Se Brul Village: Another village made up of descendants of a sea-faring group, descended from South African tribal fishers that managed to wander far enough to drift toward the island.
  18. The Temple of The Fallen: An ancient city of a once prosperous culture, how it fell is unknown, may contain the reason as to way so many people have crashed onto the island
  19. The Vakka Village: A village of Apemen, they are intelligent but only communicate through a kind of sign language
  20. The Wild: An area that is not occupied by the intelligent beings of the island (minus the Nazis) and has multiple species of wild life

Okay so that's the vast amount of space on the island, tell me what you think

Name: Felecia Fierro

Age: 20

Appearance: 5'5 with chestnut brown hair and a matching pair of eyes, she's got the rough and tanned skin of someone whose used to making a living working outdoors along with the sort of lean and toned body one would expect of a Gaucho. She prefers tough rugged clothes made out of leather or jean material, and is always clad in her muted brown/green poncho, which conveniently enough, can also serve as her sleeping bag, or an emergency source of bandages. The only truly decorative thing she wears is a simple silver locket which belonged to her mother.

Personality: fair, dependable, hard working,and a bit hard headed to boot. She's a bit of a hayseed so bein socially sensitive, polite or using proper table manner(read: has been known to eat soup using only her knife) are generally her weak points

Backstory: As her mother passed away giving birth to the infant Felecia she was solely raised by her father up in the highlands of Argentina. The man being descended from a long line of Gauchos raised her the only way he knew how, as a gaucho. Growing up Felicia learned to herd, hunt, camp, and most of all how to fight using the Facons, big sturdy knives, of her people.

After a particularly heavy night of drinking her old man challenged her to a bet to see if she could sail around the world in a simple wooden canoe. If she could he'd foot the entire bill of her wedding (naturally though she'd have to find a husband first though), If she couldn't then she'd have to find him a new wife (provided that she was still living of course). The next day she began her journey to the coastal town of San Azul where she snuck her way onto a cruise liner stopping by for the usual refuel, resupply, and tourist tour shtick. Reasoning that the bet didn't specify what type of "canoe" she would have to travel around the world in she figured that she might as well travel the world in comfort in style.

Weapons: A large and well honed hunting knife kept in a sheath strapped to the small of her back, a pair of bolas, and some rope

Powers/skills: can hogtie, slaughter, skin, and butcher a llama in ten minutes flat whether or not this can be applied to other animals (or people) has yet to be tested....... Also she's a decent singer though her lyrical repertoire is mostly limited to drinking and whoring songs, oh! and songs about llamas.

@Akaaatt, The story starts on a cruise ship that gets scratched by a german U-Boat, could you just adjust the story a little, so that it fits, thats all that I ask.
