Undiscovered Lands (Public RP for you to join)

Postby Aiko » Tue Jun 03, 2014 7:48 am

This is a combination of RP and Choose Your Own Adventure style story. Everyone is invited to create an adventurer character (may or may not be named after you) and join in. You can freely chat in-character with others whenever you are able to (ie. not when you are gagged, unconcious, completely submerged in quicksand etc.). Otherwise the actions you can take at any time will be limited to options I offer to you (eg. go this way, go that way, grab vine, take a deep breath,... ;)). Of course there is a good chance you will fall prey to one of the perils in this jungle. To give you some incentive to actually try and survive, I promise to do my very best to create a picture based on this adventure (probably with Poser) IF someone actually recovers the treasure. Now, to start the adventure...

The group of adventurers arrives at the end of the road. This is as far as the vehicles can take them. Only on foot will they be able to advance further into the jungle and towards the fabled treasure of the so long forgotten tribe. Here, in the heart of the African jungle, they will be cut off from civilization for at least a week. Everyone has brought their backpacks with sufficient food and water supplies. The equipment they chose besides that may very well determine their chances of survival in the days to come.


Describe your character and choose exactly one item you brought with you on this journey:
A. rifle
B. machete
C. rope
D. smartphone
E. map
F. compass
G. first aid kit
Visit me at the Great Swamp, but watch your step on the way there!

Victoria, a 23-year-old college student, keen to earn a reputation with her experienced mentor. However, Victoria became separated from her original expedition, surviving for several days in the jungle until she stumbled upon this new bunch of explorers. Victoria is a wearing a worn t-shirt - already low-cut to begin with, her time alone in the jungle has worn the fabric down so that it is ripped in several places, exposing more flesh than she is normally comfortable with. Her khaki skirt is also ragged. Her boots - an expensive investment before the trip - remain in excellent condition. The only item she has from her lost equipment is a compass.

Jason; 24 years old, current student working toward a masters degree and a moderately experienced hiker in the U.S. testing the limits of his abilities. Wearing hiking boots, black shorts with several large pockets, plain but dirty white t-shirt with a light vest over with several more pockets and inexpensive sunglasses, Jason found the trail to be slightly more of a workout than he expectedc but none the less kept up with the pace, eager to impress one or more of the attractive women in his explorer group. With limited space to carry large objects, Jason brought along his machete to cut down the dense foliage and if need be, fend off aggressive wild life.

Amanda, a 28 year old PR manager. Bored with work, she read about this treasure on an online message board. She left her husband in the middle of the night without saying anything. Not an outdoorswoman, she has struggled to get to where she is, wearing a white tank top, jeans and cheap, big box store boots. Her blonde hair is in a high pony tail and, even in the wilderness, she wears lip gloss. She hasn't turned on her smartphone in a while, hoping to save the battery charge for when she really needs it.

Wearing a olive green tank top, desert camo cargo pants, Hiking boots, sweatbands around both wrists, and aviators completes his outfit. He's calm and collected most of the time and has a good sense of humor. He brought some rope along clipped to his belt. He's wanting the treasure to move out of his parents house and whatever else he wants.

Patricia and Victoria took the lead. They navigated the narrow trails through the jungle while the others followed, looking out for danger. Even though dense canopy blocked most of the sunlight, they all felt the heat. The air was standing still with humidity. Not even a slight breeze to grant a little relief.

Patricia had little to go on in terms of landmarks here. They knew where they had gotten off their all-terrain vehicles and the compass had helped them keep their bearing, but she could only estimate how far they had come by now. According to the map they should reach a river... sometime... soon, hopefully. The map seemed detailed enough in these parts, but less so farther ahead - especially in the vast swamp-forest where they would be looking for the ancient temple. The hours passed by, the sun was getting lower and the temperature was slowly dropping. Even so, sweat was still pouring down from everyone in the group. No sign of the stream. Patricia was beginning to doubt whether she was holding the map the right way, when they finally found it.

The river was peacefully winding through the jungle. It looked to be about 40 feet wide, but the current was slow and the water shallow enough to get across easily. Also, they found a suitable spot to make camp near the river bank. It was already getting darker, and there was still work to do.


Choose your task:
A. Gather firewood
B. Refill water bottles
C. Prepare meal
D. Set up tents
E. I don't think so. Skinny-dip first, work later.
F. Let me check my mail and update my Facebook status first (Only available to Amanda)
G. Hunt for some "real" food (Only available to Emily)
Visit me at the Great Swamp, but watch your step on the way there!

Jessica is a 21 year old that loves the outdoors. She isn't afraid to get dirty, which is exactly why she joined this expedition to find treasure. Her decent knowledge in the medical field is what led her to bring her First - Aid Kit in case there is trouble on the trek. Her outfit of choice, a very low cut tshirt (hoping to be used as a distraction for the males of the group, as she is quite plentiful in the beast area), durable boots and hiking short s for the walk. Her intent is to use the treasure to travel more of the world and see what she hasn't yet

If it's too late just let me know and I'll politely back out.

Jackie is a 27 year old brunette female. She wears cargo shorts, a breathable, light green button down shirt and a wide brimmed, soft floppy hat to keep the sun out of her eyes. She is a young professional, having left graduate school and working as a nutritionist and manual therapist. She tends to be a bit on the shy side at first but really loves to get out into nature alone. Today, she makes sure to carry a compass with her. She is out on a hike by herself and starting to feel like she might have bit off more than she could chew when she starts to hear some voices.
