The Maze

FragmentedPhosphor

FragmentedPhosphor

Anxious At All Times
The date is 2371, and the world is radically different from the twenty first century. There are game shows that are highly popular, but the contestants are in great danger whenever they participate. Unfortunatly, said contestants are not given a choice whether they play or not. They are abducted from every planet, knocked out and carried to the Sorting Center, a space station that decides what game show you are most fit for. However, most contestants are not awake during this process. The most popular game show is a deadly maze called, unsurprisingly, The Maze. This maze covers a whole planet, with only one exit that constantly shifts position. It's hugely popular with the viewers, so there is a large amount of people kidnapped for it. They are allowed to keep their memories of their lives- although, obviously, they have no memory of how they got there- and possessions that they had on them at the time, and they all start in the same spot. The Maze itself is made of various materials, and it frequently leads into large open spaces filled with both horrid monsters and supplies. There are five main species of monster in The Maze (listed below).


The Serbirds: The Serbirds are a small batlike species with scales and fangs. They travel in flocks of ten to twenty and are very vicious. Their bites are poisonous, but only enough to make you ill. They are weak to both bullets and steel, but are very fast and are hard to hit. Found almost anywhere except the tundra part of The Maze.


The Bolderes: A large, formidible monster, Bolderes are a species that usually travel alone. Their hide is tough, and only heavy calibur bullets will do fatal damage. They are very slow, and prefer to sleep most of the day and night time hours, thusfore making it easy to sneak around and avoid confrontation. However, they have a weak spot at the nape of their neck, a thin bit of skin weak to anything you care to stab or shoot into it. Found in the desert and mountain ranges of The Maze.


The Ghouls: Much akin to human myth, the Ghouls are cannibalistic carnivores. They are humanoid, and in fact the only seperating difference from humans and Ghouls are the paleness of the skin, and the eyes. Ghouls have large black eyes, twice again the size of a human's eyes. They are weak to almost any weapon, but are very strong and fairly quick. Found almost anywhere in The Maze.


The Terachna: A large, spider-like creature, usually found in the forest or desert areas of The Maze. it seems to be an enlargened funnel spider, but there has been no tests to prove that to be true or false. It is weak to bullets of any caliber, but swords will not be able to hit it. It's legs are strongest, so that is not a good place to hit it.


The Derachni: Decptive and witty, the Derachni have no real shape. They are ethereal, appearing as a lost loved one, or if you have lost no one, the one who you loved the most- which they find out by using an almost undetectable telekenetic probe. They will lead you to death without mercy or pity. While they are not affected by weapons of any kind, if you throw something through them they will vanish for a while. Found in the marshy areas of The Maze.

Name: Rose Elanor Lawlington


Age: 25


Species: Cenarian (A humaniod species with limited telekinetic abilities, and also a touch of pyrokinesis. Their hair is pale, usually stark white to a light yellow or red, and their eyes are slitted, with red pupils and any color irises. They are usually lanky and tall, with sharp teeth and sharp fingernails. Other than that, their appearance is similar to a human's.)


Personality: Rose is a very pessimistic, very sarcastic, and very paranoid person. She rarely interacts with others, but she will begrdugingly cooperate in a group if there is no other option. She will usually just blend into the background until there is either danger or she is needed.


Weapon of choice: Her .22 revolver is her favorite weapon from Earth, but she has a sword crafted by an expert smith that she favors just as well.


History: Rose was born on Cenaria in a small town. However, her thirst for adventure lead her to get into a lot of trouble very early in life. Eventually Rose ran away from her family and the small town, and entered the big city a few sleepless nights later. There she learned many life lessons, along with some useful skills. She couldn't seem to stay in one place for long, however, and has moved from place to place, doing whatever she felt like and taking whatever job she could.


Appearance: Rose is 5'11, and is fairly lanky. She has just past shoulder-length white hair, and her eyes are blue, with red slitted pupils. She usually wears a red t-shirt, with gray pants. She allows her hair to hang loose, but she usually wears sunglasses to cover her eyes.


Abilities: Telekinesis and Pyrokinesis, but only a limited amount of both, otherwise she gets ill/ headache.


I won't post a starter until I get at least one person to reply, so yeah. Thanks loads and hopefully, see you- or is it your character?- soon! :)
 
Name: Katiya


Age: Unknown, but looks like a 16-17 year old (in human years)


Species: Aloja (Water Spirit/Witch) (( http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloja_(mythology)#section_3 ))


Personality: Katiya is intelligent and can be conceited. She is very beautiful, even for her own species, but the race as a whole is slightly narcissistic. She is less so, but it still shows through. She is clever and always thinks things through before making decisions. She is the type that doesn't want to grow up, always living in a fantasy world. She reads a lot, and typically is not a social woman. She is considered an adult in her species, but looks young to humans. She is very kind once she opens up to someone and can be a loyal friend.


Weapon of choice: Magic- she carries a wand that allows her to control other magic in addition to water. She does not do much hand to hand fighting but easily learns how to use new weapons. She prefers magic over all.


History: Katiya comes from a planet made nearly entirely of water. She was in love with someone back home, a male water spirit by the name of Dimitri. She has no real family, because the water spirits keep to themselves once they are old enough to be on their own, only living with a mate and their children if they have them. Dimitri was in love with her as well, and had planned to make her his wife. The proposal was intended to take place the night that she was kidnapped, so she never knew he was going to ask her.


Appearance: http://www.walltor.com/wallpaper/beauty-of-the-golden-witch-86714


Abilities: Being a water witch (so to speak) she is able to easily command water. She has a wand that also allows her to cast minor spells and healing spells, but without the wand she only controls water. When she comes into contact with a body of water she is able to change form into her water spirit form. While not in the water, she remains in a human-like form. Water spirits have wings and are able to fly, but 90% of the time she keeps them concealed.


Extra: Katiya in her water spirit form :

Name: Aesetta Monne Tarlesaight (prefers to be called Aece)


Age: Appears 15, actually 10. Life span is about 40-50 human years


Species: Fox spirit-human mix


Personality: Aece is slightly bossy and harsh. She is a quick thinker, but she also often acts without thinking. She's good at fighting with knives, but hasn't learned how to use her powers yet. Aside from being good at hunting, she is intelligent and knows it. Aece won't hesitate to let you know you're wrong.


Weapon of choice: (Not limited to just one weapon) Knives


History: (If you don't want the Derachi to pretend to be people from your character's past, just say so at the end of the history.) Her father was a fox spirit who married a human. He died just after she was born, leaving Aece and her mother dirt poor. They lived on the outskirts of town, and her mother was always sickly. Aece did her best to feed her and her mom, usually stealing and hunting to get by. Two days before Aece was kidnapped, her mother told her that Aece's father was a fox spirit. In a stunned rage that she had not been told sooner, Aece released a bunch of power and sent a hurricane through her entire village, killing her mother. However, she doesn't remember this and only remembers up until she found out what her father was. Aece now knows she has powers but not how to use them. When she gets mad or has an outburst of emotion, her powers sometimes escape and she shoots a lightening strike, or a thunderstorm comes, or something like that. Because of her harsh upbringing, Aece often has nightmares about her past and about her mother and father.


Appearance: (pictures or text, it does not matter)View attachment 12750





Abilities: (optional) Can control the weather (shoot lightening out of hands, make mist form around herself, etc.) and can change a person's temperature if she gets close to them, but the latter takes a lot of energy

Name: Avaline Xion


Age: 168


Species: Elf


Personality: Avaline is a timid girl. She never knows how to approach someone, doubting herself and her own voice. Though able to show her bravery once in a blue moon, it's hard to see her as anything but a child. Many underestimate the girl, as she has been all her life. She's taken accustomed to it, knowing to usually be the last picked when teams are split. She's an odd character, one that may be hard to understand, but with time she warms to the people around her, showing a true self not many have ever actually seen.


Avaline is a hardy girl, able to withstand a lot, at least emotionally. She's gentle, and far too empathetic for her own good. She' knows better to be kind to everyone, so she stays silent, or distant. It's hard to interact with her too much without her becoming overwhelmed with nervousness. Think of her as a caged animal, wide eyed and cowering; until, that is, attacked. She's fierce on the battlefield, almost a completely different person. It's not quite blood lust, but survival instincts that take over to make her a ruthless fighting partner.


Through all of the years of her life, she's grown a great wisdom, but never got over her introvert tendencies. She is but a child with a large mind. She just needs to get out of her shell, and live to her full extent.


Overall, she's a soft spoken woman with an uncanny brain, and what seems to be an alter ego out in the battle field.


Weapon of choice: Bow and arrow, and knives. She also has a vast knowledge over poisons and uses them to a full extent.


History: Avaline was the odd one of her people. The daughter of their leader in this nomadic group, she was the next in line to lead her people. Everyone knew she wasn't ready. As a child, she was set this title with little hope. She was born a weak baby, sickened often and unable to walk until years after birth. As a child, she was coddled, her mother keeping her from the other people of her clan. It was never quite sure why her mother did this until Avaline turned twenty-five. Many people believed humiliation over her weak daughter, others believe that her mother was too defencive over her only child, unable to birth a son to take the next title.


The leader of the clan is not royal, but just as spoken. A leader. The leader keeps the knowledge of the people, is the wise one who chooses where to travel next, what to do when food runs low in the winter, etc.


She was highly capable to take her fathers place; she was even more capable then him, truthfully. But her weakness crippled her appearance to her people. Many believed she would not live as long as the normal leaders did; usually three times as long as the people they lead. Her people were always judgmental They needed great people to take care of their clan. They had strict opinions and traditions.


Avaline was looked down on her whole life, even from the very beginning. She's learned that she was thought of as not enough. Somehow, she's kept this with her, even know. Months before she was to take her dying fathers place in a ritual she spent ten years mastering, she was taken during her time of rest.


Now stumbling in what seems to be a maze with all the objects she would have used in the ritual and for hunting the next day, her wide eyes scan for any sense of life.


Appearance:


View attachment 12755


Abilities: Avaline was apart of a nomadic group of Elves that fended for themselves. She knows how to survive the barest of lands.


Extra: At hand, Avaline has a ritual dagger along with her hunting bow, yet no arrows. She is also carrying some herbs used to burn in the ritual.

Name: Caden Solarias


Age: 24


Species: Human


Personality: Through thick and thin, Caden will always have a sarcastic, joking remark to make. Otherwise, somethings wrong. This man is well controlled, holding all emotions in check like a mask. Cracking his cool, joker facade is his strong vice of curiosity over everyone and everything. He finds motives in whatever he does, being strongly ambitious and strong willed. Usually trusting others easily, he's very honest and social. He's far from observant, relying on others in the battle field for guidance. He's not known for his smarts, but his bravery, physical skills, and cheerfulness.


Caden is the man to look for when needing a realistic and optimists' view, because somehow he seems to see both.


Weapon of choice: He's skilled, and quite handy with a gun, but if needed to downscale, he's got an affinity for a two handed sword, and even more so with a sword and shield.


History: Caden had an easy life. The joker of the class, second highest in his college, and a easy pot in the army, this once football player grew to be a quite ... immature man.


He dated his high school sweetheart, a red headed sweat heart who was his life. After joining the Navy, she kept in touch as much as she possibly could, but soon seemed to fade in willingness to talk. Shorter and short became the letters, less and less did she speak of how she missed him, or that she even loved him. Caden wasn't stupid; he knew what was going on. So he told her to move on. His years were far from over to keep her any longer.


She refused to give up, giving Caden the hope to last the rest of his time in the Navy. He swore to his squad over and over; he was going to marry her by the end of this. That she was perfect. He even showed off his only picture of her, messy haired, in his tee shirt and not much else, making food and smiling gently into the camera. The edges were worn, the quality lessened, but he adored it. It was always in his coat as motivation.


The letters were still slow, but as loving as ever. He understood how hard it was.


And, when he finally got back, he went straight to a jeweler.


When Caden spoke the name of his lover to the jeweler to inscribe on the inside of the ring, the man had paused for a moment, with the most bewildered look on his face, but gave him what he wanted. It bothered Caden not. In this new world filled with technology, creatures, and time, Caden hadn't seen that look in a while, and it didn't really register.


HE stepped into the threshold of an empty house, Caden made himself at home as he waited for his highschool love to come home. He knew about her work schedule, so he wasn't worried much. It was when midnight came around that Caden removed himself from his chair. This wasn't what he had planned. He wanted to come home to her, and purpose to her right at the doorstep.


He went up to the bedroom, to check for her in bed, but there was no one.... and what looked to be an empty dresser. A very quickly emptied dresser.


Though, before he could even read the note that lay on his bed, he blacked out.


Or maybe he had read it, but he couldn't remember now. Now, here he lay, in the Maze, dazed and with only a ring in his hand.


Appearance: Caden is a built man, resting at 6 feet. With sun tanned skin, a very small complexion of sun-kissed freckles, and blonde-ish amber hair, he seems warm in presence. His image speaks his personality; warm and kind.





Abilities: Caden is extremely strong from keeping in shape after his time in the Navy. He continuously works out to keep as fit as possible.


And, did you know Red dye dyes white cloth?
 
Name: Hitomi.


Age: Sixteen.


Species: Half human/Half demon.


Personality: She is quite until she gets to know you then she turns into a delightful cheery girl who is very cute and fun to be around, but she does have a short temper and staying on her good side would be the best thing to do. Though she tries to give off tough exterior she is actually very delicate and insecure.


Weapon of choice: Her demon powers and two rifles with crests on them. They are chained to her hip and she holds very dear touching them with result in a brawl.


History: Her birth father is the head of a famous yakuza (Japanese gang) when she was twelve she was kidnapped by her father’s rival yakuza and tortured for four days straight. They treated her has a human dart board throwing knives at her whenever they felt the need leaving many small scars spread all over her body. Her face is untouched for on the fourth day they gouged out her eye and left her in the back of an ally to die. (She doesn’t remember this or anything prior to this event.)


Eye’s open to darkness, she could see nothing and feel something covering her left eye. Standing up her legs wobbled until she fell to the floor, confused she crawling around trying to find something to help her up when the lights flickered on. She squinted looking up at a dark haired young man; he gave her a warm smile and helped her up into a chair. For the rest of the night it was explained that she was found in the back of an ally her face covered in blood to the point that you couldn’t see it at all. That he brought her home and the only way to save her was to give her the other sacred kings purple eye(He had the first one). The eye healed most of her wounds and slowly strengthened her body. He named her Hitomi for it meant pupil of the eye. From then till the day she was taken she lived with him as if she always has, he was like an older brother to her, he trained her how to use the powers the eye gave her and protected her whenever needed.


Appearance: View attachment 12756


Wears sweaters and full length pants she never reveals her body due to her scars and usually wears a blue contact to hide her eye.


Abilities: Due to the eye she can heal herself and heal others to a certain extent (she will faint if it is too big of a wound), she has abnormal strength, fighting skills, and tremendous aim.


Extra: Since she never knew the man’s name and just called him Onii-chan her biggest fear is that when she gets out she won’t be able to find him and return home, she also has powers that she doesn’t know about yet.


(And don't forget red dye dyes white cloth!)
 
Name: Key


Age: 17


Species: Pandlin (Vaguely humanoid species from the planet Miros which is a planet filled with an atmosphere that's toxic to humans and an alternately colored water supply. Pandlins adapt to changes in atmosphere easily as their own changes as often as the seasons. Only a few native plants on Miros thrive while all others died out)


Personality: Key is a very hard person to sneak up on. He is a light sleeper and a someone who doesn't trust others easily. He's pretty easygoing when you get to know him but will also turn his back on one of his 'friends' if it means saving himself. He's also manipulative and takes the 'better' option.


Weapon of choice: Twin plasma guns from his home planet


History: Being born a male on his home planet meant that he was destined to join the military when he was 17. He was trained by his general father since he could walk, as all other males on the planet were. There were no women in his planets military and they were expected to tend to everything once the men were gone. Key was treated like a soldier rather than a young child and as such has never had the 'innocence' that earth children had. He was being transported to the military when he was knocked out.


Appearance: Key has ear-length dark purple hair that parts around his face and light green eyes. He's around 5'9 and he has a forked tounge. He wears a thick, sleeveless vest and slick black pants with a dark brown belt going around his waist where he keeps his weapons.


Abilities: Acid saliva and he can create small illusions.

[MENTION=4449]Rose_Lawlington[/MENTION]


Could it be possible to have a person who has been in the maze far longer than anyone else, having been living there for the past several years of his life, and has been a returning character that isn't very often seen, but loved by the fans when shown (As of why they've kept him in there for so long)?
 
[MENTION=4449]Rose_Lawlington[/MENTION]


Then here it is. Tell me if you want me to make changes. By the way, some of this is based off of a Costa Rican farmer who save a crocodile when it was young and helped it back to health. Look it up.


Name: Jedidiah ('Scavenger' to the fans)


Age: 30


Species: Human


Personality: He is pretty quiet. Rarely speaking. He lives alone, meaning his voice doesn't need to be used. He is thought to be mute. It may or not be true, he doesn't remember. He's lived above ground for nearly ten years. He's rough and tough, and gets the job done 99% of the time. He also seems to have the most uncanny ability to survive in any type of biome. His specialty, however, is the desert.


Weapon of choice: He uses two weapons. One external, the other a blade. Upon his harms are two blades forged from scavenged metal. These blades are tied around the front part of his arms, and extend out ten inches past the elbow (Blades are in a similar fashion to the one's Gallade from pokemon has on it's arms). The second weapons is a much more deadly. Read the 'extra' part for more information.


History: At the ripe age of fifteen, he was abducted. He knew that if the monsters didn't get him up here, that when he returned, he would be put in the army to fight for the others against his will. He unintentionally got lost in a sandstorm before he could choose what he wanted to do, and was presumed dead. He was an orphan from the start (He thinks), he doesn't remember who raised him to when he was old enough to fend for himself, he doesn't remember the one who he loved, he doesn't remember his cities name. You can forget a lot in fifteen years. He is a prime example of that. However, after a few years of being nothing but an urban legend, a contender FOUND him. The woman was starving, sick, and near death, but this man managed to nurse her back to health and teach her the ways of the land and many weaknesses on the creatures. The woman went on to be the final survivor. He has come around in several episodes, and even some documentaries about him have been made. However, it is a must for any survivor to try and find Jedidiah, as the fan population could outcry to send help for Jedidiah's apprentice, and gain a major advantage of knowledge about the maze.


Appearance: CLICK ME!


His hair is short and spiky blond, however, he rarely takes the mask off, which hides his face and some of his hair. In the wasteland above ground, the sun beats down on his body, making him inclined to wear light armor, such as the light, but incredibly strong armor he has on his shoulder (Made of layers of Gustave's shed skin, see Extra section) and his large baggy pants, which he uses to protect his legs and body from the harsh desert like land's sandstorms. He has a large clay vat about the size of a two liter bottle strapped to his back that holds water. At 210 pounds, the man has great strength and is very strong with great stamina and durability. He is also a very intimidating person, standing nearly 6'4 in height.


Abilities: This man is the ultimante survivor. Resourceful, brilliant, and knows when flight is better than fight. The land is an extension of his body. He knows almost everything about it and it's inhabitants. One great advantage he has over the Derachni, as he remembers little of what he loved and cared about from before. However, he is not without weakness. One downside to his existence is that he is near the point of insanity. The only thing keeping him from going over the edge being his 'friend'.


Extra: Here comes the fun part.


Jedidiah has a massive reptilian creature that he has raised from a mere hatchling. This reptile is nearly thirty feet long, seven feet tall at the shoulder, and weights nearly five thousand pounds. The creature was nursed back to health from a wound inflicted by a Serbird, which took out the poor creature's eye. Bleeding, attracting predators, and very young, the creature would've died very soon if it weren't for Jedidiah. The creature learned to trust him, and now is his only companion. It has a surprising amount of intelligence, comparing to modern day chimpanzees, and has the ability to learn. Jedidiah would've died in year seven if it weren't for this creature survival capabilities, and Jedidiah learned nearly everything he knows about survival from the reptile, which is now a full adult, and very big. Jedidah has come up with a name for it, and tends to call the creature Gustave.


Appearance: CLICK ME!


Imagine it with ashy black scales, used to absorb sunlight to gain energy faster, with a sand colored underbelly.


Red dye dyes white cloth


Also, new species:


Odonto: Odonto are large reptilian creatures not often seen anymore in the maze. Large , intelligent, and powerful, these creatures are bested in strength only by the Boulders. What sets then apart from other monsters is that they don't immediately go to attack, rather they snarl or snap at on-coming humans and others that are coming near their territory boundaries to drive them away. Making them generally passive creatures unless provoked by getting into their space. This lead to their discontinue in the maze for not all out attacking every person they saw. Small caliber bullets and blades are usually ineffective. Larger caliber is usually needed to inflict noticeable damage. They can most often be found in the desert and jungle parts of the maze, and even then, they're still not seen very often.
