Intro
LEFT BEHIND
On the floor of an unrecognizable and dilapidated barn, several strangers-- all young adults from all kinds of backgrounds-- begin to wake. Their joints ache with a dull, throbbing pain and their heads pound with grogginess and confusion. They have no idea how long they've all been asleep, but there are more pressing matters.
Where are they?
Upon exiting the barn with the expectations of some answers, the strangers discover more questions. The overgrown grass, weeds, and the rusted pickup truck would make anyone believe the plot of land had been abandoned. However, the farmhouse appears to be in decent condition and even has a fresh coat of paint.
The inside state is also well-kept. Three floors high and yet, there isn't one speck of dust. The fridge and cabinets are filled with food that won't be expiring for a while. At least according to the calendar pasted to the fridge with a magnet agrees. Apparently, it is now August. The last anyone could recall, it had been May.
With the few possessions that had been transported with them and their memories, the strangers have next to no connection with their previous life. Despite the electricity, gas, and water functioning, there is no signal. The only television options are the collection of DVDs and VHS tapes left on the shelves of the television stand while phones won't send texts. Taking a trip into the forest that surrounds the farm won't do any good, there is nothing to find. The strangers will soon come to realize that no matter what they do, they always end up right where they started.
All seems lost and worthless. That is, until things inexplicably begin to change. Will they work together or allow things to spiral into chaos?
Rules
1. All RPN rules apply.
2. This group will be for advanced roleplayers only. Good grammar, punctuation, and syntax are necessary. In addition, posts are expected to be 500+ words. If you cannot confidently and comfortable comply to these expectations, this roleplay probably isn't for you.
3. Discord is necessary for out of character chatting and planning. The actual roleplay will take place on RPN, but all of the out of character discussion will take place in a Discord server.
4. This roleplay is application-based and NOT first-come, first-serve. I will be setting a deadline for character sheets and on that day, the accepted people will be sent the Discord server link in PMs.
5. Once the role play begins, please be able to post at least once a week. Real life with always come first, but this is to keep things moving along.
6. For maturity and comfort's sake, please be 16+ when applying.
About Me
Howdy! My name is Oliver! I've had this idea sloshing around inside my head for a very long time. It might sound very similar to the show The Society, which is a good reference point but not at all necessary to have seen before in order to join.
This roleplay will be character driven, but has sci-fi and mystery themes. I am looking to accept only a small group of people-- between 6-8 probably. I will be making an ooc thread, so if there are any questions go ahead and put them there or send me a pm. I look forward to seeing what kinds of characters people create!
