You have no memories.
No idea where you came from.
No idea if you have a family, friends, a lover.
No idea what your name is or how old you are.
Nothing.
But you’ve been asleep, and now you’re awake.
You find yourself on the ground of a place you have no memory of.
A bag is next to you with a small communication device, a couple days’ worth of food, a handful of medical supplies, a canteen, a single weapon, and a piece of paper with one word written on it.
Your new name.
There are others like you, somewhere out there.
They too are waking.
But while you were asleep, there was a mantra repeating in your head.
Over and over and over.
And when you wake, that is the first thing The Lady says to you.
“Kill or be killed.”
Rules:
- 1. Please be literate. There is a minium of one paragraph per post (five sentences), though more is preferred. I can understand some spelling and grammatical mistakes, but please try to keep them to a minimum.
- 2. No posting like “*sits down* Ohai random person. *rolls around*.” I will throw fish at you. This is a literate RP.
- 3. No killing off other characters without messaging both the one you want to kill and myself, just so we’re all clear.
- 4. If you allow your character to be killed, you will be permitted to create a new one. Everyone starts by waking up, and the sleeping bodies are hidden and protected, so anyone can join at any time.
- 5. Romance is allowed, death and fighting are suggested and are a rather big part of this RP, and cursing is allowed. However, please stick to the forum guidelines for these.
- 6. Follow the rest of the forum rules.
- 7. If you’ve read this far, thank you. Please put your character’s name in your favourite colour so I know you have read and understand these.
Skelly:
Name: As you do not remember your name and have only gotten a card with one word on it, everyone should only have a one word name. Now, you can be as creative as you want. Your character’s name could be Mary, Spoon, or Asgfhajls (maybe someone accidentally slapped a keyboard and sent it off instead of throwing it away).
Apparent age: No one here knows his exact age but could probably guess by looking at himself.
Appearance: Please describe your character’s appearance in a paragraph. You may also include a photo if you want. I would prefer a real person, but anime is also acceptable if you can find nothing else (personal preference, sorry).
Attitude: Though you don’t remember anything about yourself, you have still retained your personality. How do you feel about being here: scared, angry, confused? When you meet someone are you happy, mean, violent, or scared?
Weapon: A single weapon was left in your bag for you. It could be anything you want as long as it’s realistic. A six foot long katana wouldn’t fit in a canvas bag. Keep in mind that if you have a gun, you did not get extra ammunition (though that doesn’t mean there’s not any in the area).
Plan: Is your character here to slaughter everyone and win whatever prize those in charge might have to offer? Or are you wanting to group up with others and find a way to escape together? Perhaps you just want to hide ‘til it’s all over? Or maybe you want to seek revenge on The Lady?

Name: The Lady
Apparent age: mid-20’s
Appearance: Although The Lady is only seen through a hologram, it appears she has long pale white hair, and her electric-blue eyes stare out emotionlessly. She wears a form fitting black and white dress with tall black heels.
Attitude: The Lady seems rather emotionless. She has a knack for showing up at the most random times. She will offer each of the “contestants” help, leading them to supplies, safety, or other people; however, sometimes, she will intentionally lead people in the wrong direction, into an enemy trap, or into any other danger. She is thoroughly unpredictable.
Weapon: As she appears as a hologram, she does not use a weapon.
Plan: The Lady’s plans – and the reason she is orchestrating this “game” – remain unknown.
Name: Lore
Apparent age: late teens to early 20s
Appearance: Short black hair frames an angular face. Her bright mint green eyes stand in stark contrast to her dark lashes and pale skin. Lore wears long black leggings, a long and loose pale green cashmere gown, and black flats.
Attitude: Upon initially waking up, Lore is extremely frightened. Though it takes time, she does calm down. However, she is quite jumpy when placed in new situations. When meeting a new person, though, she will quickly attach herself to him.
Weapon: The only “weapon” in Lore’s bag is a long coil of a rope. She’s not exactly sure how it will protect her, but until she makes some allies, it’s the only change she’s got.
Plan: To find others and survive.
When your character wakes up, the communicator will vibrate. Pressing a button on it will pop up a full sized hologram of The Lady in front of you. She will say, “Kill or be killed. That is the way of this world.” Since it’s the same thing for everyone, you can use this as part of your opening paragraph or we can assume she said it. Yay for free sentences.
Also, The Lady will only be used to advance the plot. She will not be a continuously used character. I do have a plot planned, but if you have some ideas or want The Lady to send someone or something your way, PM me and we'll discuss it.
