Dusky
Succubus
You went to bed happy, comfortable in your little bubble of ignorance. You had fallen into bed, weary after the festivities of the fireworks display celebrating the 4th of July. As the springs, or down, or foam, or whatever you choose to sleep on adjust to your weight, you pull the covers tight around your shoulders, feeling they bring you security. You feel safe.
But you aren't.
Your family wakes up to your empty bed. It is made, and well; not a crease to speak of. Photo frames are empty, personal items missing.
It's as if you never lived.
And you?
You wake up on a mahogany wood floor, in liquid darkness. As if in the middle of the ocean at midnight, a league under, only without the comfort of the occasional living fish swimming carelessly past you. You begin to panic, wondering if you are dead. But then your ears, pricked by adrenaline, catch shuffling and gasps similar to your own. You are not alone.
Where are you? Who put you there? Why did they take you? And lastly, what do they want from you?
These are questions you and 14 others must answer along the way. Some answers will come sooner, some not until the very end, whatever that may be. Now, one last question.
Are you in?
NOTICE
07/05/12 - I've done some thinking and decided that after the captives are all created, I'm going to ask each participant to undergo a very brief and simple 1x1 with me through PM, just so I can get a feel for all your styles. If I decide that certain users are heading in a different direction than where this RP is going I may remove their characters with due notice and make room for new ones. Check out the new Relevant Guides section for help here. Also, DON'T forget to vote! The first option to receive more than 66% of the votes will be implemented. In the event that the five-day lifespan of the poll reaches its expiration date before that figure occurs, the option with the highest percentage of votes will be implemented. In the event of a tie, the poll will be re-issued in hopes that somebody reconsiders their vote.
07/06/12 - I added a Pre-Fabricated character if anyone wants her. It isn't that she's necessary for the plot, no-one has to take her. It's just that I like her and designed her specifically with this RP in mind, but I have two characters already. If someone wants to RP her, great. If not, also great. For those of you that have 2 characters already but have others that you'd like to see RPed, fill out a skelly for them and post it, and I'll list them in the Available Pre-Fabs section. Maybe someone will want them!
07/08/12 - I made another Pre-Fab. Yes, I have too much free time. Actually that's time I should use to do productive things, but, you know how it is... On another note, it seems that 15 is pulling ahead of 10 as a poll choice. The evening of the 10th we'll see who wins, if 66% can't be reached. And the vote is divided enough that it probably won't be. If you haven't voted, VOTE! I must say though, there's a random vote there that doesn't belong to anyone in the RP... Interesting. Lurkers, show yourselves! Also, I have added another guide to the "Relevant Guides" list.
07/10/12 - Well, it's official. We will have 15 characters in our lovely role play. It doesn't look like any more people are going to join, so as a favor to me could some of you who only have one character create one more? There are still two pre-fabs available for those of you that may be interested. I've also changed my mind (again) about the 1x1 assessments. They won't happen unless I wind up with more than 15 characters, which seems unlikely. Thanks to everyone for helping to make this happen!
Relevant Guides
Though these were originally listed as reference for the 1x1 assessment, they really are helpful so I will leave them here for all of you.

How To Create A Unique Character
The Potential of Literary RolePlaying
Available Pre-Fabs
Name: Leslie Hutt

Appearance (images fine):
Something more realistic. (Pretend both eyes are covered.)
Personality: Very aloof, intelligent, and enigmatic. Passive, but self-serving and analytical.
Love Interest (if any): N/A

Character Skeleton
Name:
Age:
Appearance (images fine):
Personality:
Love Interest (if any):
Other: (NOTE- Mystery will be a huge element of this RP. If you have a shocking, important back-story, keep it to yourself. It'll give the RP shock value later on. If you aren't sure if it will work with the RP, PM me about it. I just don't want too much to be put up front here.)
RULES
Yeah, yeah, I know. Rules suck. But it's for the benefit of all.
1) Follow all regulations imposed by RP Nation.
2) ABSOLUTELY no bashing, bullying, harassing, hazing, insulting, etc. fellow RPers.
3) This will be very lax about content, as you could probably tell from the intro. However, no sexual content. If you want to do that, take it elsewhere. Skipping from the nibble on the ear to laying side by side after it's done, or something similar, is acceptable.
4) If you have an idea for a wild plot twist, please take it to me first. It's too easy for things to go off track if everybody decides to go crazy with it.
5) This is an intelligent roleplay. At least a paragraph, and that is 5+ sentences, will be expected, as well as decent grammar and spelling. Certainly you don't have to be perfect. But please don't be atrocious.
6) No more than two characters to a person.
There- that wasn't so hard.
