The End of Days -|OoC Open! Mature|-

THE IC IS UP!


If the world was going to end would you save it? Or would you stand in your room, safe from the outside war that's raging, and watch it burn?

The year is 2015 and the great bang, that which everyone has dreaded, is coming. The end of the world, the coming of days, is upon us. The guys of NASA have discovered a very large meteorite heading directly towards the humblest of planets: Earth. Although, it's not a meteorite. After careful considerations, and a very thorough investigation, it was discovered that, what was originally thought of as a meteor, is actually a gigantic black mass of... something. Whatever it is, it can't be good. Fifteen days. That's how long until impact. Total destruction. Just when it seems like all hope is lost, that everything will parish, professors from the most prestigious of schools come forward. They have found something of the ancient world. This isn't the first time destruction has threatened the face of the Earth...

There is a legend. Something as old as time itself. Somewhere buried deep inside the Amazon lies a hidden temple. Within the depths of the tomb, across treacherous traps, and through dazzling mines of treasure, is buried a savior. The only thing that is known is that it's called the Lehydre. Ancient texts claims the Lehydre can stop the darkness that's slowly started to seep into the world. It saved the world once... Maybe it can save it again...

The major figures of the world have come together. A consensus has been made. Five people will be chosen to find the hidden temple and save the world by finding the Lehydre. The best in their fields. On the journey there will be: One tomb raider, one solider, one genius, one world ranger, and one to lead them all. But the world is full of very bad, very evil people. People who would take advantage of the situation to make as much money as possible. People that want to find the Lehydre first, and use it to blackmail the world. Will you fight? Will you try and find the ancient relic that's been lost to the world for centuries and more? Or will you let it all burn?

Okay ya'll, there's the plot. I want one of each.

• Tomb Raider - Gideon
  
• Solider - Dantes
  
• Genius - Skyrn
  
• World Ranger - Ravial
  
• Leader, Baddies, Lehydre - Ace

I'll be playing the leader. As well as the bad guys. Mainly because most of them are gonna die. Lmao!

-Rules-

• Posts have to be at least two paragraphs long. And I don't mean two lines, a break, and two more lines. Paragraphs are at least five sentences a piece.
  
• Please use at least decent grammar.
  
• No characters under 21.
  
• NO power playing/God Modding.

This is gonna be a pretty slow RP. So make sure you take your time and make sure your post is how you want it before posting.

Here's the CS. ^_^

User: Gideon
Name: Dominga Salvador (aka The Señora)
Age: 34
Personality: Cold, manipulative and very, very seductive. She never does anything out of the goodness of her heart, and often speaks in riddles. She can be very infuriating, but she carries an aura of power with her wherever she goes, so few rarely cross her. She can come off as a harmless young woman, but scratch away that carefully placed mask and the Vaudun Priestess rises to the surface, and she is anything but harmless…
Appearance:
Ace did say no cartoons, I know, but this is exactly what I want… Except she’ll wear clothes! Occasionally ;]
The Señora
Weapons/Gadgets:
:greenbullet: A large machete.
:greenbullet: A small pack with herbs, gris-gris, ointments, salt and small bones.
:greenbullet: Two smaller knives, both about palm sized and made from animal bone.
Why you were chosen/Credentials: The Señora is an evil voodoo or vaudun priestess, probably the most powerful practitioner in the world. Normally she is left to her own devices and is not bothered, because she never does anything without an alterior motive. Clearly, the world was desperate for them to reach into her black hell hole to ask for her help. Her vaudun abilities affinity with the dead and all things mythical and supernatural, as well as her strong ties to the tribes throughout the Amazon, and familiarity with their legends is what led her to be chosen to join in the hunt. Without her, they would most likely be met with foul play in the jungle. Her expertise in language and the darker side of the world would come in handy in the deep dark place where the Lehydre is hidden.
Short Bio: The Señora hails from the deep dark place of Haiti. Her father was a Spaniard who travelled to Haiti and was fascinated by her mother, a powerful vaudun priestess herself. He was seduced by her charm, her voice and her power. They enjoyed a torrid love affair for several months, but when he found out she was pregnant, he left her. He didn’t make it very far. His body was found several days after he left. There was not a mark on him, but his face was horribly contorted and pale, as if he’d seen a ghost. Dominga was raised by her mother and her people, and she grew up around ritual sacrifice, spirit magic, fire and power. She became immersed and initiated into the vaudun culture at a very young age, much younger than was natural. Her power soon exceeded her mothers, and her mother gradually lost respect and a following. Her mother eventually grew to resent Dominga, and tried to kill her. She failed, however the curse left Domina’s hair white, and her eyes pale and cloudy.

She left the village soon after, and travelled the world, becoming known as The Señora, and she was looked upon as the boogeyman of Haiti, both revered and feared. She travelled, gaining power, and settling within the tribes of the Amazon, she spent several years protecting, terrorizing, learning and teaching. She returned to Haiti when she was 30 and instilled herself in her old village, and has lived there ever since. Until the nice young men from the government came to beg for her help. One never made it home, but no one could prove what had happened to him, as the other one returned unable to speak or do much of anything. They once again returned to Dominga, and threatened to arrest her for murder, to which she cooly replied that they had no proof, but that she could be persuaded to help them in other ways. Whatever those other ways were, they could not be good, but they were obviously met, as she agreed to help them.

I like it, Dantes. =D!

User: Antaric
Name: Resheph Rivai
Age: 35
Personality:Rivai never panics and never loses his patience. He can be seen as a very calm and dedicated man to his craft. He never speaks down to someone, speaking to them as their equals, even if he is having to teach that person something that could one day save their life.

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Weapons/Gadgets:
- A Hunting Knife.
- Machete.
- Backpack, which contains the following:
-Rope, flint and tender, a small cooking set, bed roll, a very indepth first aid kit with many unique things, food, water, and spare clothing, among other odds and ends that he might need.
-Personalized walking stick.

Why you were chosen/Credentials: Rivai has spent most of his adult life, and even some of his teen years, out in the wilderness. He is not rich, nor will he ever be, but he doesn't do it for the money. He doesn't lead people through the various dangerous wildernesses, for the money, but for the thrill of teaching something he knows. And with this, his trips have taken him through much of the world, having traveled through most of Asia and Europe, trips into South America and Africa, then trips into Antartica and Canada.

Short Bio: Rivai's father was a man much like himself. When he was old enough, him and his father would go camping and that was where he learned much of how to survive on the woods and animals around. As he grew older, his father developed cancer and got to sick to go traveling with him, taking those long trips where they had often spent months by themselves.

On his father's death bed, at the age of 17, his father gave him the walking stick that he now carries with him, as well as everything within the house. Their mother had passed away when he was younger, so there was nothing left for him here. His friends were going off to college the next year, and he never had that kind of money. So, he did the one thing that he knew to do. He packed up enough things, and headed out into the wilderness. As he developed his skills over the years, he began taking on people who wanted to take trips into the wilderness and that's where he began to let his knowledge grow.

=D Accepted, Ravial.

*Steals Gideon and snuggles.* Mine.

All right, looks like all we need is the genius. Any takers? Anyone? Someone?

I'll get the IC up as soon as we have a Genius.

Fantastic! I love him. Great job Skryn! Accepted, and I'll have the IC up shortly. =D

The IC is up! *Grins and gives a link*

THE IC!!

Alright, so we have Dantes', and Skryn's post up. Still need yours, Glibbons, and yours Ant.

Alrighty, since Ant is not participating in the RPing aspect of life, I'm going to poke and prod the shit out of Glibbons and force her to post. If she doesn't I'll be needing two more people. As it stands now, I need someone to take over for Ant. Not his character, just make up your own.

Just wanted to post and let everyone know I'm still around and interested!

Hia, I was in the original (or at least, I think it was the original), on RPGFO.

I had the genius spot, and, y'know, nearly died when the RP didn't kick off over there.
I don't want to fight with Skryn over the genius spot, I'm sure we can have two sets of clever-clogs, if nobody minds.
Looking at your profile, I think my genius was a different kind of clever, anyway. Hum.

Here's my profile, anyway.

User: Mickey

Spoiler:

Accepted. =) Of course you're accepted. I think the contrasts between yours and Skryn's characters will be hilarious. I'm still looking for a world geographer. Hmm... Haven't talked to Gideon yet either.. *Sighs* Throw up your post, Matt?

Not to whinge, but Jack'd definitely be introducing himself laasst.

Also, is there any reason Leslie couldn't fill the role of World Geographer?
(If I remember, that role was only put in so Caranore could have a spot)

Ahhh, fantastic point. Leslie shall take that spot. Gives her more reasons to be the leader anyway.

And, that's fine. If I can get Glibbons to post.

Is she actually... still floating round, or, y'know, has been absent for a while?
If she's been absent, then you might want to recast her role.

Oh, and, Skryn, a question: has your character actually said that, or just thought about it?

I don't mind sharing the role, if that could be said. We're entirely two different characters and types of smart, so there shouldn't be an overlapping conflict present; a fun, interesting collision, perhaps, between the two to prove - or assert - their status and worth in the group.

Plus, gives us another active person posting!

My character hasn't said anything to the group present in the room for the briefing, just thoughts.

Alright, so I've posted, and moved it from a potential stalemate. If Alexis (youstolemyfavouritename...) and Leslie want to duke it out, they can have beef once we're on the road.

Also, Skryn, there won't be any need for Jack to want to insert his intellectual authority over Thomas. As far as he's concerned, he's already winning.

I've been floating. Recovering from surgery.
