To start rping, please fill out the character sign up, then wait for approval.

This is an advanced RP, so please read the rules before posting, and abide by them! Then head over to the Overview to read about the back story if you're interested. (Going in blind is completely okay, would even help with your characters confusion). After that, go ahead and sign up a character! A like equals an approval.

RULES
Please, refrain from god modding.
- If you feel it's necessary or do so by accident, please ask and let others know.

Post any OOC in the OOC thread!
- You may add OOC within a post if it's to provide extra information about your post to everyone, but try your best to do so in the PM/OOC thread.

Romance is allowed, but this is a survival RP.
- Fade to black, we'll get the memo.

Cursing, cussing, whatever, go ahead.
- Keep it reasonable and in character, that's all I ask.

All posts must be at least one paragraph long!
- I understand it may be difficult to post a full paragraph at times during dialogue and other situations, but do your best to be descriptive/be engaged with your character to support your posts.

Be active
- If you're not going to post for a few days, please post that in OOC. Also if you trust someone with your character, you may have them play them while you are away. Otherwise try to post at least once every two days. If the RP becomes too inactive, I will recruit new characters, replacing those who have not posted within a week without notice.
NOTE: This was a previous RP that I was in years ago that didn't go very far, and am hopeful to revive it. Hope you enjoy!​

The AwakeningYou startle awake to a sharp pinch in your forearm. The first thing you notice is a piercing white light, illuminating a pale blue ceiling. When you try to move, you notice your limbs are numb. Using your eyes to figure out what could possibly be wrong; you notice hard leather cuffs strapped to your wrists and ankles. They would hold you still even if you could move.

“Subject has returned to consciousness.” A rough female voice says. It sounds like she is talking through a cup. “Ready for insertion.”

Insertion? There's a slight sway, as if you’re being lifted, then the sound of metal against something rough sounds from near your feet. The blurry lights above you are cut off by a pitch darkness so intense, you might as well of closed your eyes. After a few minutes of the shrill sound, there’s the sound of a lock latching, then silence. Seconds go by; they seem to turn into minutes, which melt into hours.

Suddenly the cuffs around your wrists and ankles release. The room around you is small, metal, and still dark. You can barely sit up right without hitting the ceiling. Before boredom, curiosity, and fear can take over, a painful light flashes in front of you, almost blinding you. As your eyes adjust, you can see it leads out into a grassy field. When you step out, there are several more kids standing as confused as you across a huge meadow, surrounded by thick woods, then by steep, slick looking mountains.

You do not know your name, your background, or even what you look like. The last memory you have is waking up to those bright lights. You have the basic knowledge of how the world and survival works, but not the slightest clue how you obtained this knowledge. In addition, somewhere in the back of your mind, you keep hearing ‘Survive, don’t trust, rebuild’. It’s faint, but there. Don’t trust whom? These other kids who all look as lost and scared as you feel?

It was bright. Blue eyes blinked against the light forcing its way into them. Pupils adjusted and she turned to squinting against the onslaught of brightness. Whatever the hell had just heppened had brought her to..... outdoors? She took a step forward as her eyes adjusted further to the light and she was able to unsquint her eyes. There wasn't anyone there it seemed. An empty glade spread out before her. With another wobbly step forward she collapsed in hands and knees into the grass. Her fingers ran through the smooth blades and she rolled over into her back, staring up at the blue above her.

A thought entered her head, she didn't remember her name. What was her name? A hand pulled black tendrils of hair in front of her face and she looked at them curiously. For a moment she wondered what color her eyes were. Name. Name. She sat up, placing her head in her hands, trying to remember the slightest bit of a something. Nothing came to mind. Nothing except four words, "Survive, don't trust, rebuild." They seemed to repeat themselves over and over again, the only thing left in her memory. Don't trust? Don't trust who? Eyes closed forcibly and she shook her head with a groan.

Rebuild. She opened her eyes and forced herself off the ground, spinning in slow circles. There was nothing in this glade except open space and trees. The sparkle of a body of water hidden behind a grouping of trees caught her eyes. Feet began to move toward it but she stopped herself mid-way, looking back at where she'd come from. She couldn't be alone could she? There had to be more. Nodding to herself, she plopped back down in the grass and stared back up at the sky. It was then that she decided that if she couldn't remember her real name, she would call herself Blue.

Jolting awake, eyes wandering, a wave of confusion and fear washes over her pale face. She stares at her surroundings, admittedly something beautiful, and looks around. The fear in her eyes is real, and this girl, this girl who has no idea who she is, grips the ground and lets out a silent cry.

She remains sitting, violently sobbing, like a newborn brought into the world. As she grips the grass beneath her, waves of tears wash over her, and she cries. She has no idea where she is, her name, or how she got here, and with no memories in her head, this new life is one that overwhelms and scares her.

But one thing remains in her head, pounding over and over again survive, don't trust, rebuild. She takes comfort in those words, mumbling them over and over again.
"Survive, don't trust, rebuild." she says, suddenly starting to laugh between sobs.
Soon, the world stops spinning, and as she stands up, her legs wobble beneath her, but she walks, and even though each step she takes is shaky, it's a step none-the-less, and each movement she makes, the more at ease she feels with her new world. A child reborn indeed.

He winced against the sudden piercing light, pulling an arm up to his forehead in an attempt to give his eyes a chance to adjust. Blinking away the last spots of blindness, he discovered himself surrounded by lush wilderness. Overwhelmed by the stark contrast between this and the small metal box from which he had emerged, he took a moment to sit down.

As he took in more detail of his surroundings, he attempted to look into his own head for any way to make sense of what was happening. To his frustration and horror, his mind was near blank. There was no context, no exposition into why he was here or where this was or who he was. He found only a phrase, faint but sure in the back of his mind. "Survive. Don't trust. Rebuild," he muttered.

As utterly terrified as he was, he knew nothing good would come from sitting in one place. Pushing his fear to the side, he rose to his feet and, after thinking for a moment, began walking toward the most distinguishable landmark, which appeared to be a lake. With every footstep he grew faster and more assured until he was outright running. His fight-or-flight instincts had kicked in and damn it if he wasn't going to go down without a fight. Don't trust. Yeah, he wasn't about to.

'Survive, don't trust, rebuild," he shot ip from his fetal position within seconds, his eyes narrowing as they darted back and forth between his new surroundings. Mountains, thick forests, large sprawling meadow, no doubt a lake nearby. He was so very confused and clutched his head in agony as the boy became dizzy at the quick movement and overwhelming threat to his senses. He felt just...so...empty. His mind returning nothing but darkness, my name? He didn't know it! Where he came from? Why he was here? The answer was the Void.

Sighing he rose steadily from his position, balancing well as he begun to react more calmly. His was angry but there was no need to have a breakdown, yet, with a eerily calmness he begun to walk forwards, seeing a girl sobbing as she walled slowly and mumbling the phrase he too was stuck with. Strange.

Only then did his eyes really study every detail around him, there were other poeple here! One was heading towards the lake, the girl sobbing others just milling around or walking. The density of the forests, the true height and steepness of the mountains. Maybe he could call himself Thistle and be a fairy for the rest of his life. He chuckled quietly at his remark before walking slowly towards the girl with a friendly smile.

He was annoyed beyond belief. His sense of balance decided to take a leave of absence as he stumbled out of the small metal cove. Extending his arms out for balance, he managed to stay on his feet as the blinding light assaulted his eyes. His eyes lolled for a moment before he emptied his stomach, to put it lightly.

Standing, he gazed out across the plain at a few other kids, one already running the exact-SURVIVE. DON'T TRUST. REBUILD. Another puke session. Annoyed before? Now he was enraged. He scrunched his face in pain and gripped his head in one hand. "No one. No. One. Invades my mind. Get out of my head!"

A ringing echoed through his skull before he put his head against his metal origin and heaved momentarily. Disgusting. He flashed a look at the others before wiping his mouth with his hand and straightening his stance. Weakness won't fly here, and he doubted he was very fond of it before... this place. Too much green, he decided.

Either way, the best thing to do would be to make some connections. After flinching at another "Survive, don't trust, rebuild," he decided on the girl that wasn't hysterical, taking long, clumsy strides to the girl laying on the grass. She was pretty. Not-his-type pretty, but pretty. "Hey, lady. You seem not insane at the moment. Unless you're going to tell me you see dragons up there?" He pointed to the clouds. Smooth.

Survive, don't trust, rebuild. The words continue to echo through her head, pulsing like a heartbeat. Looking around, she sees other faces. More people. All unknown. A girl in the grass, a boy walking towards a body of water, a lake.

She has no idea what a good course of action would be, so she walks. Each step is shaky but strong. The dirt underneath her feet bring her comfort, she does not know if she is safe, but she does know she's alive, and alive is good. So she walks.

Her eyes swallow up her surroundings, the beautiful sky, green grass, and the trees. It reminds her of The Garden of Eden, and sends a small wave of calm through her. The smells are all nice, fresh trees, new grass, and air more crisp than a freshly picked apple. As she walks, she breathes deeply, closing her eyes and humming. As she looks around, she sees a somewhat kind face, so she walks towards him. Everything around her is silent, and as her voice breaks through her lips, it feels as if she has just spoken for the first time.
"Where are we." she says, her tone steady and calm, she is overwhelmed, but she will be brave.

The boy smiled at the girl, "I'm afraid not, I'm like you as well, woke up here like the rest!" He gave a small smile attempting to lighten the mood. She was pretty and the boy began to take note of the others around them properly, more girls than boys, everyone mostly with the same idea of waking up stranded and worried. "I don't know if the sounds weird but do you remember your name?" He asked politely only just taking note of his accent compared to hers. It was posh but then again not and well he hadn't a clue to explain it, like he was from somewhere wealthy.(I have no idea how to explain a Posh British accent and I'm British) The boy scratched the back of his head with a frown, annoyed he didn't know his name but he'd be ok nonetheless. "I'm not the only one am I?" He questioned to nothing in particular as he stared at the girls features and gave a friendly smile. Don't trust...screw that idea he wanted help and he was going to get it.

His eyes begun to fully take notice of the vibrant greens and clear sky around him, it felt unreal and like he was dreaming but he wasn't of course. What kind of dream would makw you forget your name? Or put you in a place like this? He laughed at his own thoughts but kept himself calm and composed.

Her eyes behind the lenses were squinted as she took her first step cautiously out of the metal cell. As they adjusted she slowly opened them to the bright world around her. Her lips slightly parting in wonderment at what she could only describe as breathtaking natural beauty. Luscious greenery from near every side of her, she was entranced. She attempted to take another step without thinking and swiftly fell to the ultra green grass. Her legs felt like jelly. As if moving them would make her sway. So she laid on the grass, her face pressed to the earth and breathed in the scent of nature with a soft growing smile as her eyes closed. 'Survive. Don't trust. Rebuild'. Her eyes snapped back open and wide as her head began to ache slightly as those words resounded in her skull. So... her purpose here was to survive? Fine she cold try to do that. Don't trust? She looked about at the other people whom she hadn't paid any attention to until that moment. Don't trust the only other people around her? She internally snorted as she flung that thought out of her head. Rebuild was the last order. Rebuild what exactly? She thought as her head swiveled about taking in the world, nature and people around her.
