The Castaways

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 10:42 am

Note: This rp is motivated by a survival guide I read recently by Rory Storm, an ex-marine of the U.S military.


In this rp, members will rp as contestants on a desolute, undisclosed island. The object of the game is to be the last one standing. The winner will recieve 500k septims and a land deed for any unowned estate of his/hers choice. The losers will have either been killed or voted off the island. I'll be rping with multiple characters including the host. The contestants will be split into two teams and will both elect a captain.

Gladiator Ring

At the hosts leisure, both teams will select a champion to fight in the Gladiator Ring, the winner will be rewarded with either armor, a weapon, or a magic cube.(See below) The loser will either be voted off immediately by his fellow teamates or sent to Mehrunes Pit. Mehrunes Pit is a large crate-like hole where scamps and clanfears are set loose against the loser of the Gladiator Ring. If he/she prevails, they will be returned to their former team. If they lose, they die...

The Camp

The camp is self-explanatory. This is where the contestants will stay. They'll both be located on opposite sides of the island. Keep in mind that the island itself is around 6 miles wide and 8 miles long.

Beast Raids

During the competition, a series of attacks from different beasts from around Nirn will occur. Both teams have the option to help one another, but should one team choose not to, remember that should a beast be carrying a magic cube, the other team won't be given access to it. Thus eliminating any possibility of gaining the ability to cast spells.

Magic Cube

A powerfully enchanted cube that enables it's wielder to cast a total of 15 spells altogether. This includes: Enchant, restoration, destruction, conjuration, and mysticism. Intervention and recall spells are defunct on this island, so the only means of escape is to die, be voted off, or win. Remember this. I control when a magic cube is found, no one else. They can be found throughout the island, after Beast Raids, or maybe in even mysterious and awkward places.

Setting

In short, think of Hawaii. Lush tropical forests, annoyingly long-named fruits and animals, frothing and warm seas, and sand-barred coasts.

Rules
*No spamming, trolling, or flamming
*No character killing or control
*No Ubering, weapons or armor (Unless I've given it to you)
*Nothing too obscene (Keep it PG-13)
*Grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization will be governed strictly by yours truly
*No more than 3 characters max per member
*PM all character sheets to me, then post them up on the offical thread
*No one-liners (Seriously, I'll boot people for this one. I'll only dismiss it under certain conditions)
*I'm the shot-calling, awe-inspiring host of this rp, so what I say goes.
*I'm trying to avoid unneccessary deaths, but please don't rp with expectations of pure success-- it doesn't happen. (Ever!)

The Rp
After enough people join, I'll close this thread and open the offical "The Castaways" rp thread. The rp will begin with each person removing their blindfold.
Afterwards, the host will split the contestants into their teams and give the teams their supplies. Remember: NO weapons, NO armor, and NO spells. If you've read the rules above, you already know. Makeshift spears and things of this nature will be accepted, but only after each team reaches their Camp. Stay alert, stay awake, and watch your back.

I've chosen to start this rp until I can find another to join. Remain patient if I'm absent for too long. I want this rp to run itself, so I'll elect a co-host once people begin to join. After two days of absence, the co-host can begin to run the rp for me.

This will probably lead to no end of ubering, character control, and NIO I HIT YOU FIRST.
