It began...with an island.
An island of beauty and splendor.
Nothing could outweigh it's magnificence.
and then...
the prison was built.
On this island, hidden deep in its dense forests, there lays a very well structured prison. Built out of the sturdiest metal that the workers could buy, its walls are impenetrable. What this means is, once you are in there is no getting out. Not by any means of your own...
But...why are you here? What could you have done to be sent off to this unknown island, and be placed in its prison? The answer is simple really, yet massively complicated at the same time. It is this: the government doesn't like you.
Wether you know this or not, you have done something that made the government want to conceal you. To hide you...forever. Maybe you gave away military secrets to someone. Maybe you just simply know too much and they can't risk this news being let out. Even if you never would say anything to anyone, they still brought you here. Or maybe, you are just bad. A nuisance that they wanted to get rid of, but could not legally punish you in court because they really had no reason for getting rid of you - no valuable evidence to say 'this person is a danger to society'.
Then again...there is also a possibility that you work here. Most likely not one of the builders, but there are people who believe that what the government is doing to these certain people - that locking them up here - is right. Those people are hired secretly to work here on the island. Maybe as a prison guard, maybe just as a janitor.
No matter what you do, no matter the reason you are here, you are here for good. Here, on this island we are all...
PRISONERS
Alright, now that you've gotten a basic idea of the whole thing I will explain it in a little bit more detail.
The main idea:
- You are on the island
- You either work at the prison, or you are a prisoner
- You can't really escape the prison, or the island but it wouldn't be a fun rp if no one tried
- This is all about your experiences in the prison, and don't worry you are let out of your cells so it won't all take place in your cell by yourself. That would be terribly boring.
Some Info. on the prison:
- There are guards usually in the corridors that hold the cells
- There are guards stationed outside of the main gate, and all around the prison walls
- The prisoners are let out of their cells more than you would think typical for a prison - there is an area much like a courtyard outside of the actual building itself, but it is fenced in by the walls of course
- The prisoners are actually allowed out of their cells whenever they please. There are guards in the corridors that they can wave down and the guard will let you out. They will escort you to the courtyard though, once you are there they will leave you alone. (As you can see, the workers are very confident in the structure of the prison and have no fear of prisoners escaping)
- Then, there are other workers just doing their job at various areas of the prison. Some of them are part-time guards who work as a type of janitor by day, and take over the night-post as a guard. Some are just strictly janitors 24/7, but who's to say janitors can't see and hear some interesting things.
- On special occasions, the prisoners may leave the grounds (meaning they can go outside of the walls and into the forrest for whatever reason they wish) but a guard must be with them at all times, and they must have permission from that guard to leave.

My Characters:
Full Name: Daniel Henry Abbot
Nickname: Dan, Danny, or just Daniel
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Position: You could say Janitor. He just keeps the place neat looking. He actually spends more of his time cleaning the guards's cars that are parked out in the garage outside of the walls of the prison more than anything else.
Why are you there: His brother began as a guard there. he was a very well-known guard, and has been commended for his duty many times over. The other men that really run the whole place thought it would be a good idea to have his brother, Daniel, come and work for them too. He proved to be less than expected, so they made him a permanent janitor. Of course, now that he knows all about the place, he can never leave. Yet, even though they don't know it, Daniel despises the place. He finds it disgusting, and cruel to lock up practically innocent people. He is against it all, yet he must play along with their game or they may just kill him.
Family: Only his brother, Michael.
Personality: He is actually a really sweet guy. Very kind and considerate. He can be timid at most times, and he is actually so ashamed to be part of the work force at this prison, that he can hardly look any prisoner in the eyes. If it came down to it, he would risk his own life just to save the life of one prisoner here.
Quirks: He has a few quirks. He glances down at his watch when he is nervous (anything to keep him from looking someone in the eyes.) He pulls at his bottom lip when he is thinking about something. He bounces his leg up and down when nervous or worried. He runs his fingers through his hair when he is unsure of what to do. He is constantly apologizing and stuttering.
Looks: He is rather short for his age and gender. He stands at 5'8" and is constantly picked on because of his size. He is not muscular, yet he is still strong. His hair is a short, yet thick and wavy. It is as black as night. To most people his eyes are a dull brown. Yet, for those who care enough to look deeper, there is a fiery red, flame-like circle around his pupils that portray the same burning intensity inside of his heart which is also masked by his timidness. Just like the red in his eyes is masked by the dull brown. For clothing he usually wears blue jeans and a dark colored t-shirt. And of course, work boots because the ground can get sloppy on an island.
Other: Nothing that I can think of at the moment.
Full Name: Michael Allan Abbot
Nickname: Mike, Michael
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Position: Guard
Why are you there: To work, of course.
Family: Daniel
Personality: He is the exact opposite of Daniel. He enjoys working at the prison, and he takes pride in his accomplishments there. He is one of the harsher guards. He can be quite rude, and obnoxious. He believes he is better than most people, and loves to complain about them to his younger brother who never listens to what he is saying anyway.
Quirks: He squints a lot when he is angry or serious. (Which is most of the time)
Looks: He looks a lot like Daniel with his black hair and facial structure. Yet, he stands at about 6'2" and he is well built muscularly. His eyes are an intense green that frighten many people because they are usually filled with hatred. His clothes are always his guard uniform. Blue, and always sparkling clean because he makes sure Daniel cleans it well each morning.
Other: None that I can think of.
