Welcome to the FAYZ! It's pretty much a dystopia, here, and it's every man to himself. So pick up a weapon, find some shelter, then collect all you need to survive. Maybe find some friends, and create a group. There are no adults here to tell you what to do, it's a free world! Smash some windows, crash a car, drink some alcohol! This is a free land, now!
"In the blink of an eye.
Everyone disappears. Gone.
Everyone except the young. Teens. Middle schoolers. Toddlers. But not a single adult. No teachers, no cops, no doctors, no parents. Gone, too, are the phones, internet, and television. There is no way to get help.
Hunger threatens, bullies rule. A sinister creature lurks. Animals are mutating. And the teens themselves are changing, developing new talents - unimaginable, dangerous, deadly powers - that grow stronger by the day.
It's a terrifying new world. Sides are being chosen and war is imminent." - Michael Grant, author of the Gone series.
Hey, guys! Welcome to this RP, based off Michael Grant's Gone series. The general idea of the book is that everyone 15 and over vanish, and everyone left behind are stuck in a 20 mile wide dome, which is impenetrable. So the remaining people have to fend for themselves and survive hunger, thirst, war etc. However, animals start mutating, including the kids, to become more fit for the environment. This means the kids gain unimaginable powers, but not all of them, only roughly one quarter.
However, I've decided that the age everyone disappears will be 18 and above, so everyone 17 years old and younger remain. This means that the Perdido Beach school now has grades from kindergarten to Grade 12. Same with Coates Academy.
Oh, and you don't need to have read the book to join.
Anyway, this RP will be different to the story, where Sam, Astrid and all the rest don't exist, and the "Big Poof" happened only moments ago.
Your characters may or may not have powers. I don't mind either way, but I'd say most people would want a power. Characters can only have 1 power, though, not a whole bunch. Don't make it too overpowered, either. In the book, the powers were rated in "bars" kinda like a phone signal. The more bars, the more powerful it is. The highest is 10 and the lowest is 0, meaning no power. I'm putting the limits of how powerful your power should be at 3 bars, and 4 bars for anyone who I decide has been active and nice enough to become this thread's moderator. When you make your app, I'll say accepted or declined, and say what I think would be the bar level. If it's lower than you expected and you want to change your power feel free too, but you can't if you have started role playing. Also, fun fact: there was 1 bar 10, 1 bar 5, 2 bar 4s, a bunch of bar 3s, loads of bar 2s (the most common) and a couple of bar 1s. That was just a random fact.
Rules: (I may add more rules)
0. Read all the rules. Don't skip one, you might miss something important.
1. No meta-gaming, god-modding, power gaming, standard RP rules.
2. Try not to write one-lined posts, although if you're online with someone else and your characters are just talking, I guess I'll be fine with that, but add some information, like "Bob blushed as he spoke, "Blah blah," she was very intimidating.".
3. Guess what? Drugs, alcohol, and all of that stuff is allowed! Just don't do drugs in real-life...
4. Keep language at T-13. The book did have a bit of cussing in it, but nothing like the "f-word" or anything.
5. Yeah, romance is allowed. Just no sexual stuff, but if you must, take it to the PMs, or do a "Fading out to grey" kinda thing. There was a bit of "child-making" in the books, but Michael Grant didn't describe it or anything, he just ended the chapter when the two began.
6. Put fayz somewhere in your application so I know you've read the rules.
7. Violence, and I mean pretty much all violence, is allowed. But please don't do some kind of thing where you character starts burning a live human, then eats it. No. Disgusting. You get me.
8. Discrimination will be comepletely allowed IC. This doesn't mean you can discriminate in OOC. Discriminating to OOC players is forbidden.
9. Feel free to make as many characters as you want. Each character must go through the application first and be accepted, before you start Roleplaying.
10. Killing characters is acceptable, as long as you have consent from the character's owner. If no consent is given, they will be stunned or injured. Another thing, don't go cutting off limbs. Break them, dislocate or stab them, but I will not tolerate cutting off limbs, since they cannot be healed. However, you may do so if you have consent.
11. Because fayz is probably going to be put in almost everyone's apps anyway, also put california in there somewhere. It's the state of Perdido Beach.
12. Try not describe any gore, please. I'd prefer if I didn't have to read someone getting their ribs sawn off and their heart being ripped out.
13. BE REALISTIC!
Yeah, lots of rules. So what, not too long to read.
I'll be giving out "Strikes" to players if they break a rule. One strike for each rule. Once you get 3 strikes, you're ignored from any post for 1 month.
Time for the application!
Name:

Birthdate:
Starting Location (Of the "Big Poof". Make it reasonable, it's a school day don't forget, so don't say your character started at the National Guard base.)
Power (Anything you want, but like I said, not so OP like everything he thinks of ceases to exist or anything. Remember, they doesn't need to have a power. Provide some detail. Eg. Strength, he could lift trucks and bend metal, but he couldn't lift buildings.):
Backstory (At least 1 paragraph):
Suggestions (Optional):
Other:
Get denied 3 times and you will be ignored for 1 month.
This next section will be for those who haven't read the books. Though your characters can't meta-game, you yourself can know about different locations and all that.
Barrier wall:
There's a barrier wall that surrounds the area, and it is impenetrable. Besides this, it's an actual full sphere that centers on the PBNP, or Perdido Beach Nuclear Plant. The barrier itself can be seen by people. For some reason the barrier is a pearl grey colour when you're near it, but when you look up at the sky, it has an illusion of the sky, like it's a giant TV screen.
Hermit Jim's shack and mine shaft:
Hermit Jim's shack has loads of canned food. It's just outside the old abandoned town, which is located at the mine shaft. It has a small 12 feet by 12 feet patch of grass next to the shack, as if an act of defiance, since it's in the middle of a desert. It's got a shed behind the shack, with loads of those army meal things, and a bunch of ready-to-eat food. They've all gone past the best before date, but as the best before date is best before, and not used by, it's still edible. There's a small well next to the shack, with a hose next to it. In the shack are books, an old cot, and a La-Z-Boy recliner chair on top of a Persian rug. Beneath both is a small trap door. Underneath that are 14 gold bars, about 8 inches long, 4 inches wide and 2 and a half inches high.
The abandoned town is a town with a mine shaft. Just outside the mine shaft is an old pickup truck, and inside the mineshaft, just at the entrance, is Ol' Hermit Jim's body, dead, before the "Big Poof" The pickup truck's keys are in the pocket. Down the mine shaft, an evil creature lives there, which feeds on radiation. It infects your mind if you come close and stays in your mind, talking to you, giving you bad thoughts and trying to use you as a slave. This shouldn't spoil the series that much, just the first 100 pages or something in the first book. Considering there's 500 pages in each book and there's 6 books, it's hardly a spoiler.
Lake Tramonto:
Lake Tramonto has fishing boats in the lake and on a small little dock. In the dock's office are some packaged chips. There's also a can of fuel.
Evanston Air National Guard Base:
There's multiple train carriages, each with a large supply of an item. One has moldy oranges, another has cans of Pepsi, one is filled with Macbooks, another filled with Nutella, one with Cup-a-noodles and the last with RPgs. About 10-20 of them.
Nuclear Plant:
The nuclear plant is the dead center of the FAYZ's sphere barrier. You'll find a couple of SMGs, and a bunch of guard uniforms.
San Fransisco De Sales Island:
On this island you'll find a small cruise ship, which has a helicopter on it, and on the island itself there will be another helicopter. The island has it's own generator, plus a large 3D cinema, a working kitchen, all of the stuff you'll find in a celebrity's house, because it belongs to two movie stars. Also, in the basement, there's a secret passageway, where you'll find a small plant of marijuana (In book, don't blame me.).
Though the celebrities had children, I will not allow you to start on the island, your character must go there themselves.
That's pretty much all you'll need to know. Just remember your character's don't know, and making some statement like "Bob decided to travel north, then turn right, just because he was bored. He ended up at the Evanston Air National Guard base, and randomly went and found a train with nutella, so he had a feast" will not make me happy.
However, if you do something like, "Bob went to the library, where he found a large map of California. There, he found out about the islands to the north, and looked at some books in the library to find out there was a celebrity island on one of them" will be allowed.
Coyote:
The mutation of the coyote is crazy. Their size increased to the size of a wolf. They stopped fearing most animals and started hunting them. However the craziest part of their mutation was their ability to speak human tongue. They somehow learnt English, too. They obey the creature that lurks at the bottom of the mine by bringing it humans with powers, so the creature can use the powers for itself.
Snakes:
The snakes developed strange leathery wings underneath them, however, they can only glide. Their venom is shot at prey, and when the acidic venom lands on skin, it lays eggs underneath the skin. From there, about a week later, weird green bugs crawl out and feed on the body, whether it's dead or alive.
Green bugs:
Once the green bugs grow into adults, which are about 4 feet high, they start spreading the eggs. (Yeah I don't get how snake venom becomes insects, it just does.)
Zekes:
Large worms about 2 inches in diameter. They can sense prey. They have large mouths, the inside being filled with sharp teeth. They have small fin-like legs. They are territorial, and hang around farms and agriculture. If any meat creature stand on their territory, they start eating right through them with their sharp teeth, and using their legs they can push through the flesh.
Seagulls:
The seagulls mutated into seagulls with large hawk-like talons instead of webbed feet.
Sea-bats:
Bats that live in air-pockets in sea caves. They can swim through water. They are blue, and can breathe underwater. Along with this they fly. They are extremely horrible to eat, even though filled with nutrition, however, the zekes like them and allow you to pass and collect food if you throw sea-bats at them. (Your characters don't know this, remember.)
The next section your characters should know about.
Perdido Beach school:
The main school in Perdido Beach. Kindergarten - 12th grade. Only roughly 200-300 students.
Coates Acadamy:
A boarding school. There has always been a weird rivalry between the Coates kids and the kids in town. The Coates kids are from wealthy families, and, although the school tried to disguise the fact, strange. Coates was the place to send your kids when they became "difficult". The school houses a variety of kids, from mentally disorded kids to psychopaths. Most of the kids aren't mentally disabled, but have been sent to CA for doing some kind of act that was pretty much illegal, or their parents just didn't want them around.
Town Plaza:
The Town Plaza is surrounded by a bunch of small business shops, like McDonalds, the hardware store, subway. Besides this there's the Church, the Town Hall, and the Library. In the center of Town Plaza is a fountain that almost never works. There are multiple wooden benches in the town plaza.
National Park:
The National Park has loads of Camp Trailers. Your characters may find food, water, and fuel there.
Below are the images of the FAYZ, and the image of Perdido Beach itself.
Striked players:
No one, and hopefully stays this way.
In game characters:
Felix Murphy - GeorgeNinja
Name: Felix Murphy.
Age: 17.
Appearance: Being both rather tall and large Felix has always been an intimidating youth. He stands at the impressive height of 6'4", dwarfing his fellow kids and even most adults. He's rather muscular as well, his strength and fitness the product of his parents and their strict, healthy lifestyle that was practically forced upon him. His skin is lightly tanned and has its fair share of markings, ranging from scars here and there to the occasional spot or pimple. Still, he has a fairly handsome face and nice, healthy white teeth. The boy's eyes are deep brown in colour, while his short hair (maybe an inch longer than a buzz cut) is a simple, solid black.
His clothing is simple, usually sticking to T-shirts, jeans and shorts, whatever he happens to come across in his room. For the moment he is wearing a black T-shirt that shows his muscular arms off, alongside a pair of dark blur jeans and a pair of tough, brown boots.
Personality: To be shown through roleplay.
Birthdate: March 5th
Starting Location: School.
Power: Earth Manipulation. (As he grows stronger, this could possibly expand into metal manipulation as well.)
Backstory: There isn't much of a story to Felix's young life, other than his parents being fitness freaks he has had a pretty standard time living in Perdido Beach. With that said, he's always been protective of his twin sister, always being there to have her back when she had a problem. He shot up in size when he was only eleven, and surprisingly reached his peak at twelve when he really started to fill out, making him a pretty scary sight when his classmates looked at him. Not that he ever really gives people reason to be concerned. After all, he's a friendly guy.
There haven't been any big events in Felix's life, really. The most exciting things that could come to mind would be his sister's knack for getting into trouble, which of course always ended up with him being close-by to control the damage done. Beyond that, he's a pretty normal high school Junior living in a small town.
At least... That was the case up until about three months ago. While hiking up in the hills just outside Perdido Beach Felix and his sister ended up uncovering some rather remarkable skills they never suspected they'd had. To break it down to the basics of what happened, Jessie lost her footing and started to slide down a pretty steep hill with a rocky base. Felix then, somehow, forced a solid chunk of rock to spike out in front of her, forming a platform that she slid right onto, stopping her before she could get hurt. Not that either of them realized it'd been him until later. When they did Jessie was pretty pumped, convinced that she must have some kind of superpower too since they were twins. Low and behold she was right!
Since then the siblings have tried practicing with these new powers whenever they've had the chance, though between their parents, friends and school it's been a struggle to find enough alone time to practice together.
Suggestions: None that come to mind.
Other: Welcome to the FAYZ, California!
Jessie "Jess" Murphy - GeorgeNinja
Name: Jessie "Jess" Murphy.
Age: 17.
Appearance: Being a fraternal twin to her brother, Jessie obviously doesn't look exactly like him. She has shoulder-length vanilla blonde hair, soft and wavy, along with a fringe that almost touches her eyes. Speaking of which, Jessie's eyes are a bright, sky blue. The rest of her facial features are pretty standard, but either way she is clearly a rather pretty young girl, the kind that got a fair bit of attention from the boys in school. She's rather fit as well, once again thanks to her fitness freak parents, though her figure is quite slender and her muscles nowhere near as large as her brother's, nor is she as tall as him, standing at the height of 5'8". Still, she could probably beat any girl her age in an arm wrestle or a foot race. The only similarity she shares with her brother, aside from facial structuring, is her lightly tanned skin with plenty of scars dotted about. Finally, her bust is a simple B-cup.
Jessie's outfits are a bit more adventurous than Felix's, for while she still has her fair share of T-shirts and the like she is far more partial to wearing slightly more unusual outfits, presumably because she likes the attention they tend to gather. Her current outfit is no less odd, being a fairly normal white tank-top along with a pair of red shorts. Nothing unusual so far, right? But then comes the long, black scarf she wraps around her neck, letting the end of it fall down her back when the wind doesn't catch it. On her feet are a pair of thick, black boots that look WAY too suitable for kicking things hard enough to break them, and on her hands are a pair of fingerless red gloves. To top it all off Jessie wears a white polar bear hat on her head, as in one with a little bear face on the front and two little bear ears on the top-side. Maybe not the weirdest outfit, but definitely not exactly normal either.
Personality: To be shown through roleplay.
Birthdate: March 5th
Starting Location: School.
Power: Wind manipulation.
Backstory: Jessie has always been the adventurer between the two siblings, which was probably the reason why her brother became so protective of her. When they were younger she was the one climbing trees, doing bike tricks (or trying to) and generally doing whatever she could do enjoy herself. Carefree and wild, Jessie made a lot of friends and earned a few enemies among her peers, but she could handle those enemies just fine. She's been in her fair share of fights in school, and she rarely came out worse off than the other side. Never having stopped to take a good look at boys Jessie has been quite ignorant to the amount of male attention she received in school.
As detailed in Felix's history, he and Jessie uncovered their abilities about three months ago when hiking in the hills outside Perdido Beach. Where Felix discovered his by saving Jessie from getting hurt, Jessie figured her own out through sheer willpower and determination. In her mind if her brother got superpowers, she should have gotten them too! Twins and all, right? So, after a good hour of messing around, trying to figure out how to 'wake them up' with various different methods, Jessie ended up (due to a little frustration) thrusting her hands out in Felix's direction. Much to her pleasant surprise a strong gust of wind hit him hard enough to knock him over! Thus, in her mind, the super siblings were born!
Suggestions: Nothing in particular.
Other: California and FAYZ go hand in hand!
Edward Williams - X5_Berserk
Name: Edward Williams
Age: 16
Appearance: Edward is about average, standing at around 5'11. His hair black hair is combed to the left. He is skinny though not so much that you could call him bony. On the day of the "Big Poof" he had been wearing a pair of blue jeans, black nike shoes with a red outlined check, and a black t-shirt with an image of bright blue boomerang spinning.
Personality: Generally happy he's never had a real reason to obsess over someone or something, though he is a prideful individual and hates being second guessed.
Birthdate: June 3rd
Starting Location: School
Power: Super-Speed
Backstory (At least 1 paragraph): Born to a relatively normal family he never had to deal with drugs or gang members. But there was school, and everything seems to slip through in school. The school of course had it's intervention programs for those coming for lesser neighborhoods but Edward had never really bothered himself with it, in fact he preferred to distance himself to that kind of attention. In order to keep himself out of boredom he jogged, he didn't have a strict routine or diet, he just went out whenever he was bored or frustrated with school work. There were times when he joined a charity run but he never made first place, or any standing of note, usually finishing in the twenties. But he usually found these to be relaxing joyful experiences, even though his muscles would beg to differ sometimes.
Suggestions: Er....I don't really have any ideas to add up for this.
Other: FAYZ in California? But on a side note i'm sorry my back story is kinda weak, but I'm not entirely sure what i could add up.
Maertha Staye - Sempria
Name: Maertha Staye (Pronounces as Martha Stay)
Age : 17
Appearance: She a is 5"9 White teenager with deep black hair which is soft and rather silky and goes only-just past her shoulders. Her eyes a light blue but look rather grey during dusk, she also has a Caucasian facial complex which complements her eyes. Her body complex is a little higher than average weight and she was working to get this down. Besides this, she wears a dark top saying "FOOD FOR AFRICA" on it with a teal SuperDry body-warmer over the top (Thick jacket without sleeves) and has blue jeans, dark ones. Her shoes are Jordans which she values very much.
Personality: Maertha is a rather timid person but is kind and rather loud with her friends. She could also be considered a rather sensible person most of the time but does know how to have fun, a rare luxury in the FAYZ Incident but this can all change when she's angry. When she's angry, she attempts to destroy the nearest thing or hurt a person if they're unlucky enough to be in her... area.
Birthdate: February 11th
Starting Location: Hardware Store, working as a cashier.
Power: Amplified Hearing
Backstory: Maertha's been shy and quiet her whole life so by renting out her own home in 73 Brace Road, she proved to her parents she was strong-willed despite. Then she got her own job, as a cashier which surprised her parents even more, having speak to people she's never met each day. Her confidence had a large plummet though, he boyfriend dumped her right in front of all the customers and she'd nerve cried so much in her life after-work. She called in sick the next day.
Months later, the effects still lingered on her conscious but once again she was mostly confident and able to continue happily. She was still weak-willed though and easy to manipulate due to her fragility.
Then several more months later, she developed Pyrophobia. The home next door to her caught ablaze which then led to her's also catching fire. She was never more afraid for her life and anything before. She lost everything in the blaze and soon moved back home with her parents on 13 Fourth Avenue. She was a wreck but kept her job.
Suggestions: Egh... nope.
Other: California is a state isn't it... not a city? Don't ask me, I'm British.
Remi Alstar - zappy5443
Name: Remi Alstar
Age: 11
Appearance: Remi is not very tall, even for her age, she is short. She has long blonde hair, that she keeps loose, and dark green eyes, she is Caucasian and is quite pale. She has a skinny build, and generally wears colors and clothes that would be considered girly, or made for females.
Personality: Remi is a very friendly person. She does not mind helping out where she can, and will help people no matter who they are, although she can hold grudges against those who do things wrong, especially to her. She doesn't have much of a temper, though she can be annoying, she is not known for her intelligence either. Of course as a eleven year old, she would be curious about the world and new things, though she can be very cautious.
Birthdate: October 15th
Starting Location: Sleeping in, she is home schooled.
Power: Illusion, though quite limited. Her illusions can be seen by everyone, and how long they can hold depend on her mood. If she is quite emotion they may only last a few minutes, though if she is calm and collected, focusing on it, she can make it hold for much longer, though she had never been able to hold it for over an hour. Her illusions are not able to effect people physically, though as long as it does not inflict pain, which she cannot create, she can make them feel touch, as well as smell and sound. After illusions, she can get bad headaches and nosebleeds, not to mention that illusions, if targeted at an area that she is in, will effect her too. FAYZ
Backstory:
Remi does not have too much of a backstory, not yet, she is only 11! She was an average child, curious, friendly and loved to go to the park. She knew some other children from the park, though they were quite older, so she was not able to get much interaction with kids apart when she was at the park. When she was old enough to go to school, she did, for a year, though it was quickly obvious she did not enjoy it, and her family decided to home school her. On the day of the 'Big Poof' she was sleeping, as her parents usually woke her.
Suggestions (Optional): -
Other: Living it up in the Hotel California!
Arion Hunter - Lauryman
Name:
Arion Hunter
Age:
16
Appearance:
I'll put up an image after I post this.
Personality:
Brave, friendly, nice, modest, doesn't like too much attention. Tends to be a natural leader, but refuses it.
Birthdate:
May 8th
Starting Location:
Perdido Beach School
Power:
The ability to create light beams. He can change the temperature of the light from luke warm to sun hot, however, the light itself doesn't radiate heat other than it's own particles. He can make the light float in the air or send a beam in a certain direction. Since the light can reach the Sun's temperatures, it can burn right through most metal. The light itself is a blue colour, that gets whiter as it gets to the center of the light. It's about 5 inches in diameter, but the actual burning light is 3 inches. (For any who's read the books you'll know this is Sam's power, don't care if I don't have originality.) The power is a 4 bar.
Backstory (At least 1 paragraph):
Arion was born at a hospital north of the FAYZ, but still in California. The reason for this is because there is only one doctor in Perdido beach and no hospital. He likes fishing, hiking and many other activities. One day, when he was 15, his dad went fishing along with Arion. Leaving the Perdido Beach marina with their own fishing boat, they went out into the sea, each ecstatic, and each gripping their fishing rods. Once they started fishing, Arion had caught a large tuna fish, while his dad caught salmon. However, due to his father's rowdy past, a large vessel came by and took both Arion and his father. Their hands were tied with rope and were strapped to old plastic chairs. In front of them was a crazy old gang leader, who had lost his eye due to Arion's father. In the past, his father was a CIA agent, and his job at the time was to track the gang leader and take him into custody, while the gang leader's was to prevent that and kill Arion's father. They both failed their missions, each with a price, Arion's father lost his job and the gang leader lost his eye.
On the boat, the gang leader looked right at Arion's dad. "Been a while, huh?" His dad spat at the gang leader's feet. He got slapped with a glove in return. "I do believe this was just painted. Not very polite. I've been tracking you, Zak. I wanted to return the favour from this," the gang leader said, pointing at his eye patch. "So, I'm guessing this is your son? What would you do if we threw him over board?"
"No, you wouldn't do that!" Zak shouted.
"Why not?" The gang leader made a hand signal to a random sailor and they grabbed Arion's chair, then kicked him off the side of the vessel.
"NO!" Shouted Zak. He then looked back to the gang leader and balled up his tied fists. "You're going to pay for that!"
Arion fell into the water, and started to sink. However, his hands were free as the rope untightened, and he simply swam back up. He found a small metal ladder that he could use to climb onto the side of the ship. When he got up, he saw his dad about to get kicked, and Arion shouted "NO!" , palm raised, as if to say "stop" with his hand. However, as he shouted, a small blue beam of light hit the sailor's hand. His hand now had a 1 inch wide hole in his palm, without blood pouring out because the heat had sealed the wound already. The sailor started screaming in pain, yelling, "The kid shot me! The kid shot me!" Arion looked at his palms, his eyes wide open. There were no burn marks or anything on his palms. His dad also looked at Arion in awe. Arion quickly ran to him, and picked up a knife that must've been dropped by the sailor, then started to cut the rope.
The gange leader shouted, "Stop them! Now!" but Arion had already finished cutting the rope, and he threw the knife at the gang leader, hitting his thigh. Arion and his dad jumped off the boat and started to swim to their boat, about 10 meters away. There were sounds of gun shots, and splashes of water around them, but they managed to get to the boat safely. They started the engine and drifted away, but the vessel was faster and caught up.
"Use that weird thing you did before!" Zak shouted over the wind.
"I don't know what I did!" Arion replied.
"Just try!"
Arion held his palm out again, trying to do what he did before, but failing. His power wasn't developed enough and he wasn't used to it. It seemed like it activated in panic. All of a sudden, a large gatling gun started shooting at them. "Try now!" Zak shouted.
Arion yelled, "Stop!" and held his palm out. It worked. A small beam shot out his palm and hit the bottom of the boat. A small 1 inch hole was now sitting on the side, and if you angled yourself you could see it go right through the boat. Water started to seep in, and the boat started to slow. The boat then started to lean forward, nose facing the water. A
"I'll get you, Zak!" shouted the gang leader. Arion and his father reached Perdido Beach, and stayed quiet about the little incident. Arion didn't use the power ever since, until the present day.
During one normal school day, while Arion was day dreaming about home, there was a fire alarm sound at the school. Everyone ran outside and watched fire erupt from one of the school classrooms, a grade 1 classroom. Teachers were discussing about how no one should've been in there, but then there was wailing. Arion heared that the smoke killed you more than fire, and the classroom was almost completely air tight. Arion ran inside the school, hearing shouts of "Wait! We called 911!" but he simply replied, "Whoever's in there's going to die before they get here!"
He ran in with his shirt over his nose, and ran to the burning classroom. He started to smash the door, with no luck. He then tried opening it, and the door opened without resistance. Arion facepalmed himself, then instantly gut ingulfed in smoke. He was forced onto his hands and knees, and as he crawled in he found a little girl who was unconscious, with a lighter in his hand. Next to her was a 10th grade report card. He pulled the girl out of the classroom and managed to get her out the doors. The teachers ran to her and picked her up, and was about to say how dangerous that was to Arion, but he was back inside. He grabbed a fire extinguisher and managed to put out all the flames, before the fire fighters arrived.
He walked outside, and the fire fighters were all praising him, and giving him pats. He ended up on the newspaper, although he didn't really want to be. Everyone in the school knew him, but he tried to stay hidden, wearing normal clothes to prevent looks.
The police found out that the little girl's big brother had gotten the girl to burn his report card, and he was frowned upon, and sent to Coates Academy.
Suggestions (Optional):
I dunno, dude.
Other:
He kind of disappeared after the fire event, and tried to stay hidden, as he didn't like all the attention, so most just ended up forgetting about it.
Daniel "Danny" Johnson - Iceinfly
Name: Daniel 'Danny' Johnson
Age: 15
Appearance: Danny is tall for his age, standing at about 6' 0". He has unkempt brown hair and a slender head. He has light green eyes that border on the side of gray. He has long legs and long arms but is naturally quite slender.
Personality: Danny is always full of life and is constantly happy. He has a natural smile and a positive air about him that few can match. He is a decently smart fellow but prefers to leave the problem solving up to those who are more suited to it.
Power: Danny has the ability to absorb the powers of other people who come within a 20 foot radius of himself. Danny will only be able to absorb one power at a time from the first person who comes in contact with him but he may eventually be able to differentiate between different powers.
Backstory (At least 1 paragraph): Danny was born to a small, stereotypical American family. His father worked in real estate and his mother was a stay at home mother. His family frequently went camping in the National Park and enjoyed spending time both at home and in nature. Danny was always a social butterfly, loving to interact with everybody he could and generally being around people. He lived a peaceful life, he never had any problems. That is, accept for one. He never excelled in school, much to the dismay of his parents. He had lots of trouble taking tests and thus, he was quickly thrust into a bad crowd. He started ditching class and doing some more... unsavory things. One day, Danny was ditching class and standing beside Perdido Beach School when something strange happened...
Suggestions (Optional): Nope, no suggestions. Not yet at least.

Blake Nelson - Lauryman
Name:
Blake Nelson
Age:
16
Appearance:
His hair goes down to his ears, kind of like a medium cut. The hair is black. He has dark brown eyes. He's about 5'11". At the time of the "Big Poof" he was wearing a Coates Academy Blazer, a red blazer with a crest above the heart with ornate letters "C" and "A" in gold thread over a background that showed a golden eagle and a mountain lion. Beneath the crest was the Latin motto of Coates Academy: Ad augusta, per angusta. To high places by narrow roads. He wore a white button-up shirt underneath. He had a tie on, diagonally striped red and black, with a small gold line seperating the red and the black. Apart from all that he wore the school's black trousers, with black leather shoes. (Coates requires uniform)
Personality:
He likes ruling over people and taking control. He can act caring and nice until he gets them in the end. He doesn't care about people that much.
Birthdate:
December 2nd
Starting location:
Coates Academy
Power:
(Screw it, Caine's power. I don't care if I don't have originality, go away :p) Telekinesis. He can carry, move and send objects in all sorts of directions, up to 30 feet. He can only focus on two objects max, though, one in each hand.
Backstory:
Blake was born in Las Vegas, Nevada. His mother died when he was born and his father is a drug addict and an alcoholic, who spends most of his money in the casinos. Eventually, Blake got sick of his dad who kept abusing him and hurting him, so he ran away. Managing to hitch-hike truck drivers, he got around the USA until he reached West USA, California.
He was adopted by a family while he was walking around the streets, and he went to an ordinary school like everyone else. However, he got attacked by bullies at school, but Blake brought his pocket knife and started attacking them. He was sent to Coates Academy, which is where he is to this present day.
One day, he realised he had the power. He was stopped by a bunch of idiots in the boys dorm, and he said "Talk to the hand" and shoved his hand in their face as he walked off. This acted as an invisible fist punched the guy, and he ran off crying. Blake kept his power in secret, figuring out a way to use it to his advantage, and that's when the "Big Poof" happened, and he was all of a sudden in the FAYZ.
Suggestions:
Y u ask meh?
Other:
I like to eat cookies.
Joshua "Josh" Brent - Lauryman
Name:
Joshua "Josh" Brent
Age:
14
Appearance:
Blake is a tall 14 year old, standing roughly at 5'10". He has dark brown hair and blue eyes. He has a lean muscular body. He will usually have a smirk or a grin on his face. At the time of the "Big Poof", he was wearing his Coates Academy sport uniform (Since uniform is required at Coates). A red sports top with a small "Coates Academy" crest on top of his heart. His shorts were black.
Personality:
He's a psychopath. He doesn't show it though. He'll have some kind of evil grin on his face most of the time. He hates everyone but himself. He especially hates women, and their "annoying voices", which is why he is hated by female students at Coates.
Birthdate:
October 13th
Starting location:
Coates Academy
Power:
N/A, he excels with guns.
Backstory:
Josh was born in San Francisco, (Is that in California?)to a wild man and a sane woman. His father was a construction worker. His mother left when he was 4, and divorced his father. His father would smoke a lot, and always go out hunting. He had a hunting license for rifles, but he brought out rifles, pistols, shotguns, all sorts of guns when hunting. He brings Josh with him every time. Josh eventually excelled in operating fire-arms, and got lots of game for it. One day, he decided to deliver payback to a guy who annoyed him by calling him a retard, so he snuck out with his dad's pistol in hand, and shot the poor guy in the knee. His dad had enough money to send him to Coates Academy, instead of Josh going to Juvenile Prison.
Suggestions:
Nah, dude.
Other:
The FAYZ was like a blessing to Josh. No adults to tell him not to brutally torture kids for sadistic pleasure.
Flint Pane - ChiliDoesMC/iGuesty
Name: Flint Pane
Age: 16
Appearance: Flint is of a slim build and stands at around 5'9. His hair is dark brown, which generally sticks up to form a quiff. He has standard facial features; nothing too noticeably different, except his eyes, which are of a light hazel brown. There is no clear evidence of any muscular features in Flint's arms and legs, and because of this is somewhat underestimated. During school hours, he is usually seen wearing the standard Coates Academy uniform, although may be worn in an untidy manner. Other than that, he tends to wear very plain clothes: a white t-shirt which is concealed by a black hoodie, and accompanied by slim dark jeans with sneakers.
Personality: Upon first impression, Flint is viewed as a lonesome student at Coates; often being seen by himself. Well, at least this is what newcomers to the Academy believe. This just happens to be one of Flint's ways of deceiving other children, and manipulating them into do pointless, tedious tasks for his pleasure. Flint gets his own way with most people, but only for a short period of time, as most realise his tricks after time; meaning he is disliked by the majority of Coates. Along with this, Flint can become extremely ambitious when he believes he has the chance of winning, and may go to a great extent to take control. However, he would never fight a battle he knew he couldn't conquer, and would attempt to make a quick escape from the scene.
Birthdate: 10th January.
Starting Location: Coates Academy.
Power: Fire manipulation - Able to summon flames at his fingertips at first. But as his power grows stronger, he will gain the ability to aim and shoot these flames at targets, just as a flamethrower would. He would also be able to create small balls of fire for the use of light sources, but this is often a tiring procedure.
Backstory: Just like the majority of the students at Coates, Flint came from a wealthy family, as his father was a lawyer, and earned a respectable wage for doing so. Because of this, Flint's father wanted to discipline him in the ways of behaviour and law, which seemed like an awful lot to him; overly making him feel extremely restricted in what he did. Other than this, he led a standard life for a boy his age, which was pretty much: eat, sleep, play. He was once an extremely bubbly child, who was very enthusiastic in everything he did at home and at school. However, in a large town like Perdido Beach, such an extreme personality was frowned upon for being different. Most children in his class would avoid him, in hope they wouldn't have to start any form of conversation, for Flint would be extremely talkative.
Of course, Flint was oblivious to this; at least until the children of his class could no longer face Flint's attitude, resulting in one boy taking it too far with him. It was break time at Perdido Beach School, and Flint was approached by one familiar boy who frowned at him widely. Flint doesn't remember much of what happened next; all he knew he was rammed at, and pushed to the floor in a poorly executed pin. He began to panic greatly, but that was when he felt his hands warming up to an unusual temperature, and there sprouted small flames from both of his hands. Flint proceeded to smother his flame covered hands across the boy's face, ultimately resulting in a moderately severe burn. His parents were immediately called in to talk with the teachers and staff of the school about the situation, but Flint's father refused to believe his son would do such a thing. However, Flint simply admitted to doing it, not wanting any argument between the adults.
Just this one event resulted in Flint being sent to Coates, ultimately being disowned by his father for being so aggressive towards another person. Flint's hatred and aggression just grew at Coates, and his bubbly personality turned to one of a deceitful, amitious boy.
Suggestions (Optional): Nope, anyone who has created a Gone RP has already made the world a better place.
Other: The FAYZ was in California, right?
Red Williams - Okonuki
Name: Red Williams. Age: 16. Gender: Female. Birthdate: October 17th.
Appearance: Red is a very small, petite girl. She stands at only five foot, shorter than most other girls her age. She was named for her striking red hair, which flows down her back in a firey waterfall. Perhaps one of the most noticable points on her face are her large, emerald eyes. The only markings on her face are a spattering of light freckles across her nose and cheeks. Her skin is very tanned and browned from the California sun, as a result of her going swimming very often, as her family owned a pool.
Red has a very slender figure, narrow hips and a small chest. She dresses in average feminine clothes; mainly dresses and skirts rather than trousers. Her favourite colours are white and green, so most of her clothes are those.
Personality: A bit shy; Red's the kind of girl who fades into background easily. Thanks to this quality, she has had very little romantic experience. She wishes for friends, but doesn't have many. She is very intelligent and quick-witted, but generally submissive - certainly not a natural leader.
Starting Location: School. Power: Invisibility. Can turn completely invisible, much like Bug from the books.
Backstory: Born into an a very boring family, Red has had very little exciting life experiences so far. Her father was an executive, working in the company who owned various nuclear power assets, including the power plant in Perdido Beach. Her mother was a stay at home parent. She is an only child, and as a result she has had a lonely childhood. She has had no experience using her power yet, and has no idea it exists. She has been in Perdido Beach school all her life.
She loves art and swimming, and has been in lessons for both since a young age. She loves to draw, sketch and paint in her free time, and often carries around a sketchpad. She hopes to be an artist when she is older.
Suggestions: Nope. Other: I just hope the FAYZ will be nice to my character... Also, I may submit another application for a Coates kid. Maybe two. Yay, characters!
Blake 'Bro' Harrison - Iceinfly
Name: Blake 'Bro' Harrison
Age: 16
Appearance: Blake is very tall with dark brown skin, standing at 6' 2". Due to him having been an athlete, he has a powerful upper body and legs. He has a rounded head, dark brown eyes, and large, flattened ears. He tends to wear cargo pants and a tight, white t-shirt. Even on cold days, he never wears long clothes, preferring to stick to his usual style. He walks with elongated steps and usually has his hands in his pockets. He is slow to anger but once he is angry, he will remain that way for a long time. He also tends to be very apathetic about most things.
Personality: Blake is a very laid back individual. He finds being social very easy but he isn't the smartest individual. He tends to stick around with his closest friends. He has a silver tongue which he uses to speak in broken English brought on by years of hanging around the wrong crowd. He doesn't care much for authority nor the law and will try to defy adults at every turn.
Birthdate: September 13th
Starting Location: Outside the school, ditching class with his friends.
Power: Blake has the ability to turn his body into stainless steel at will. This makes him near indestructible and gives him the strength to lift large cars and rip trees out of the ground. Unfortunately, this steel form has a weakness. Very high and very low temperatures will cause major damage to his body, causing it to slow down or become more malleable at lower extremes. And causing his body to almost shatter or melt at higher extremes.
Backstory (At least 1 paragraph):
Blake was born to an incredibly poor family. For his entire life, he lived in nothing more than a small shack which could be taken away at any time by the bank. This caused him to develop a very thick skin (get it?) and also caused him to not have very much respect for authority. Despite all this, he used to be a very good kid. He used to keep his nose clean and would almost never get into trouble. This all inevitably changed, though. On a day much like any other, he met a young man at school.
This child's name went by the name Greg and he and Blake immediately hit it off upon meeting. They both shared the same disrespect for authority but, unlike Blake, Greg tended to act on it. Greg would perform pranks against his teachers and was able to get Blake to join him as well. The two of them became hated by their teachers and loved by their colleagues. Blake eventually adopted Greg's way of speaking after hanging out with him for so long. Greg would always call Blake by the name "Bro" and eventually the name stuck.
On Greg's 16th birthday, he became involved in a major crime. A few of his friends and himself planned a mild prank against one of their teachers. They placed garlic powder all over the inside of the teacher's desk so, when the teacher opened the desk, he would receive a face full of garlic powder. Unbeknownst to them, though, the teacher was deathly allergic to garlic and, when he opened his desk, he immediately went into anaphylactic shock. Unfortunately, the teacher could not get to his epipen in time and died right in front of the entire class. Greg was arrested and Blake was tried as an accomplice. He eventually proved that he had nothing to do with the crime but Greg was not as lucky. Greg was sent out of state to an institution for juvenile delinquents, leaving Blake totally alone. That was, until he met Danny and Shane.
The three of them instantly clicked and they brought about a whole new brand of mischief. Shane was always very submissive and Danny was always ignorant of what was happening around him. This allowed Blake to mold the two of them to the people that he thought that they needed to be. They all began to ditch class together and pull even bigger pranks on the adults, until one fateful day when the trio were standing next to the side of the road outside of the school.
Suggestions (Optional):
Other: If you have not figured out, this is the same Blake I have been playing as a NPC alongside Danny in the FAYZ in California.
Kailen Solomon - RecoilTheif
Name: Kailen Solomon
Age:11
Appearance: Kailen is average height for his age, not too tall, not too short. He has medium length black hair, kinda like this. He has brown eyes that usually have bags under them, making him look tired, even when he isn't. He has pale skin, which has hardly any blemishes or scars, except a scar from a cut under his right eye. He has a skinny build, making him quite swift for his age. He usually wears clothes that are darker in color, such as grey and black. Although, on the day of the "big poof" he was wearing a cyan T-shirt with a grey hoodie over it, a pair of tan shorts, which come down to his knee, and grey converse shoes.
Personality: Kailen is a very optimistic person, but that doesn't stop him from not realizing the truth of a dire situation, when in a dire situation, he will often be very blunt and disregard others feelings. One of Kailen's most identifiable features, is his intelligence. His intelligence could be considered his power, seeing as he's extremely smart, having skipped three grades already, and it was highly likely that he was going to skip another next year. He's also very perceptive, being able to spot things others wouldn't be able to at a first glance.
Birthdate: April 17th
Starting Location : At home, faking a common cold. (Although he goes to Perdido beach school.)
Power:N/A, Although he is very skilled with ranged weapons. (Smaller firearms, bows,crossbows, etc. Also, is it possible for people to not show signs of powers until a little while after the "Big Poof"? If not I'll just keep him without powers, I might just keep him powerless either way.)
Backstory: Kailen's backstory might be rather short, considering not many notable things have happened in his life, but here it goes. Kailen was born in Perdido Beach, CA, to a man named Jacob Solomon, and a woman named Felicia Solomon. The two were doing rather well on the money side of things, so Kailen had a pretty happy life growing up and could get many of the things he wanted as a child.
By the time Kailen was six, the family had discovered his advanced intelligence, as he was doing way more advanced math than that of a kindergardener, such as multiplication and division the level of a third grader, so he skipped the first grade, moving on to second at the end of his kindergarden year. The second grade was also easy for Kailen, doing problems at a fourth and fifth grade level. Which caused him to skip the third grade too, moving on to fourth at the end of the year.
During his fourth grade year, Kailen had taken an interest in weapons, specifically ranged ones, which caused his dad to take him hunting, Kailen usually using bows to hunt with, though occasionally his father allowed him to use the hunting rifle. He continued to hone is skills with ranged weapons, considering he wasn't very muscular and probably wouldn't be in the future, so he might as well learn how to do something to protect himself. His father allowed him to go to a shooting range and fire handguns, which widened his variety if weapons to choose from.
From there nothing very interesting happened, Kailen went from fourth grade to fifth grade like any normal fourth grader. Excelling at the fifth grade curriculum, he was having to do sixth grade level curriculum. That being easy for him as well, it was decided that he would skip the sixth grade. And at the end of the fifth grade year, that's exactly what he did.
That pretty much brings us to this point in time in Kailen's life, him being at home faking sick during the "Big Poof", not knowing that all adults had disappeared.
Suggestions : Nah m8.
Other: I don't know much about FAYZ, yet California seems like an interesting setting.

((Both accepted, though I said 2 paragraphs, which I'll just change to1, after thinking about it. Though for starting location, do you mean Perdido Beach School or Coates Academy? I'm guess the first bet let me know. I'd say Felix would be a bar 3, and Jessie would either be bar 2, so that people would have to fight hard against the wind to not fall, or bar 3 so normal people would fall from the wind. Your choice.))
Name: Edward Williams
Age: 16
Appearance: Edward is about average, standing at around 5'11. His hair black hair is combed to the left. He is slightly muscular, though one could only tell if they observed him for a long period of time. Even though he jogs and works out occasionally with the track team he is often seen as the weakest one. On the day of the "Big Poof" he had been wearing a pair of blue jeans, black nike shoes with a red outlined check, and a black t-shirt with an image of bright blue boomerang spinning.
Personality: Generally happy he's never had a real reason to obsess over someone or something, though he is a prideful individual and hates being second guessed.
Birthdate: June 3rd
Starting Location: School
Power: Super-Speed
Backstory (At least 1 paragraph): Born to a relatively normal family he never had to deal with drugs or gang members or anything serious for that matter, not even a baby brother to baby sit. Though he was moderately successful in his school studies, managing low A's or varying B's, he never felt quite satisfied. For awhile he tried various hobbies he'd read about, model building, gaming, reading, but none of the above seemed to fit with him as well. Until he tried jogging along side a few friends, he found he found this pretty relaxing. When asked why he stuck to jogging or running he would reply "The breeze pushing against me feels great!" or "It's really nice to run around and actually see who's outside." Taking his hobby to the next logical level he joined his school's track team, though he tried his best some were apparently born faster than others, Edward could never quite catch up to his personal rival Brandon.
But this changed about a week before the "Big Poof", he found he was fast, and getting faster. Noticing his increased speed during one of his casual jogging times he decided to push himself to the limit, racing against a mental ghost of Brandon Edward began running faster than ever, and as soon as he reached his peak he noticed his clothes sudden dismissal. Slightly exhausted and embarrassed he quickly slowed himself before he lost anymore of his clothes, and returned home. In the days to come he tried to practice in private in order to better control his speed.
Suggestions: Er....I don't really have any ideas to add up for this.
Other: FAYZ in California? But on a side note i'm sorry my back story is kinda weak, but I'm not entirely sure what i could add up.

((X5 Accepted, however Iceinfly's character has the same power, so I guess there's two. At 3 bars, your character's speed reaches 100kph (Dunno what that is for mph), but remember shoes and clothes will get destroyed from speeds that fast.))
((Sempria, accepted, glad you looked at the map! Yes, California is a state, didn't notice I wrote city, lol!))
((If I could make a suggestion as to how to flesh out your backstory Berserk; give us reasons as to why you felt a certain way or as to why you didn't do something. For example, why didn't Edward bother himself with intervention programs. Was it because he had stress elsewhere or because he just didn't care enough about it? Lauryman, I can change my power to allow him to have a unique power. He got to it first, I have a couple more ideas about powers. I will run them by you.))

Name: Remi Alstar
Age: 11
Appearance: Remi is not very tall, even for her age, she is short. She has long blonde hair, that she keeps loose, and dark green eyes, she is Caucasian and is quite pale. She has a skinny build, and generally wears colors and clothes that would be considered girly, or made for females.
Personality: Remi is a very friendly person. She does not mind helping out where she can, and will help people no matter who they are, although she can hold grudges against those who do things wrong, especially to her. She doesn't have much of a temper, though she can be annoying, she is not known for her intelligence either. Of course as a eleven year old, she would be curious about the world and new things, though she can be very cautious.
Birthdate: October 15th
Starting Location: Sleeping in, she is home schooled.
Power: Illusion, though quite limited. Her illusions can be seen by everyone, and how long they can hold depend on her mood. If she is quite emotion they may only last a few minutes, though if she is calm and collected, focusing on it, she can make it hold for much longer, though she had never been able to hold it for over an hour. Her illusions are not able to effect people physically, though as long as it does not inflict pain, which she cannot create, she can make them feel touch, as well as smell and sound. After illusions, she can get bad headaches and nosebleeds, not to mention that illusions, if targeted at an area that she is in, will effect her too. FAYZ
Backstory:
Remi does not have too much of a backstory, not yet, she is only 11! She was an average child, curious, friendly and loved to go to the park. She knew some other children from the park, though they were quite older, so she was not able to get much interaction with kids apart when she was at the park. When she was old enough to go to school, she did, for a year, though it was quickly obvious she did not enjoy it, and her family decided to home school her. On the day of the 'Big Poof' she was sleeping, as her parents usually woke her.

((Coates Academy students were sent there because their parents couldn't handle them. Doesn't make them bad, for instance, in the books, a main character from Coates was sent because she was a lesbian, and her parents didn't like that. There is just a weird rivalry between CA and PB teens.Yes they can have powers, but they don't have to. Anyone in the FAYZ can have a power.))
Name: Rafe Cronqvist
Age 12yrs
Appearance: A boy with blonde hair, green eyes, stands at 1m 60 tall. He has a scar on his face from a fight with a bully. On the day that the Adults vanished he was wearing a Black and Green striped shirt with blue jeans.
His hair is often not done and a bit chaotic.
Personality: To be decided during the RP
Birthdate: June 8th, 1999
Starting Location: Perdido Beach School, California
Power: Ability to Heal any wound, but the more severe the wound, the longer it takes. Fatal Wounds cannot be healed, and loss of limbs can only be healed when the Limb is present, so no regenerating Limbs. If healing shrapnel/bullet wound, the Shrapnel/bullet must be taken out of the wound, before it can be healed.
Backstory: Rafe was a pretty normal child, his father left him and his younger sister when he was 3, but besides that he had a pretty normal life, going to school like any other child and getting good grades. One big moment of his life was when his younger sister accidentally cut her wrist trying to cut a sausage and bled to death when they were both home alone. Because he couldn't stop the bleeding he's been obsessed with learning first aid, so he can help someone when it happens again. He is not fond of fighting because he can't heal wounds he himself caused. Besides First Aid, his hobbies are playing with model trains and reading Books.

"In the blink of an eye.
Everyone disappears.
Gone.
Everyone except the young. Teens. Middle schoolers. Toddlers. But not a single adult. No teachers, no cops, no doctors, no parents. Gone, too, are the phones, internet, and television. There is no way to get help.
Hunger threatens, bullies rule. A sinister creature lurks. Animals are mutating. And the teens themselves are changing, developing new talents - unimaginable, dangerous, deadly powers - that grow stronger by the day.
It's a terrifying new world. Sides are being chosen and war is imminent." - Michael Grant, author of the Gone series.
Hey, guys! Welcome to this RP, based off Michael Grant's Gone series. The general idea of the book is that everyone 15 and over vanish, and everyone left behind are stuck in a 20 mile wide dome, which is impenetrable. So the remaining people have to fend for themselves and survive hunger, thirst, war etc. However, animals start mutating, including the kids, to become more fit for the environment. This means the kids gain unimaginable powers, but not all of them, only roughly one quarter.
However, I've decided that the age everyone disappears will be 18 and above, so everyone 17 years old and younger remain. This means that the Perdido Beach school now has grades from kindergarten to Grade 12. Same with Coates Academy.
Oh, and you don't need to have read the book to join.
Anyway, this RP will be different to the story, where Sam, Astrid and all the rest don't exist, and the "Big Poof" happened only moments ago.
Your characters may or may not have powers. I don't mind either way, but I'd say most people would want a power. Characters can only have 1 power, though, not a whole bunch. Don't make it too overpowered, either. In the book, the powers were rated in "bars" kinda like a phone signal. The more bars, the more powerful it is. The highest is 10 and the lowest is 0, meaning no power. I'm putting the limits of how powerful your power should be at 3 bars, and 4 bars for anyone who I decide has been active and nice enough to become this thread's moderator. When you make your app, I'll say accepted or declined, and say what I think would be the bar level. If it's lower than you expected and you want to change your power feel free too, but you can't if you have started role playing. Also, fun fact: there was 1 bar 10, 1 bar 5, 2 bar 4s, a bunch of bar 3s, loads of bar 2s (the most common) and a couple of bar 1s. That was just a random fact.
Rules: (I may add more rules)
0. Read all the rules. Don't skip one, you might miss something important.
1. No meta-gaming, god-modding, power gaming, standard RP rules.
2. Try not to write one-lined posts, although if you're online with someone else and your characters are just talking, I guess I'll be fine with that, but add some information, like "Bob blushed as he spoke, "Blah blah," she was very intimidating.".
3. Guess what? Drugs, alcohol, and all of that stuff is allowed! Just don't do drugs in real-life...
4. Keep language at T-13. The book did have a bit of cussing in it, but nothing like the "f-word" or anything.
5. Yeah, romance is allowed. Just no sexual stuff, but if you must, take it to the PMs, or do a "Fading out to grey" kinda thing. There was a bit of "child-making" in the books, but Michael Grant didn't describe it or anything, he just ended the chapter when the two began.
6. Put fayz somewhere in your application so I know you've read the rules.
7. Violence, and I mean pretty much all violence, is allowed. But please don't do some kind of thing where you character starts burning a live human, then eats it. No. Disgusting. You get me.
8. Discrimination will be comepletely allowed IC. This doesn't mean you can discriminate in OOC. Discriminating to OOC players is forbidden.
9. Feel free to make as many characters as you want. Each character must go through the application first and be accepted, before you start Roleplaying.
10. Killing characters is acceptable, as long as you have consent from the character's owner. If no consent is given, they will be stunned or injured. Another thing, don't go cutting off limbs. Break them, dislocate or stab them, but I will not tolerate cutting off limbs, since they cannot be healed. However, you may do so if you have consent.
11. Because fayz is probably going to be put in almost everyone's apps anyway, also put california in there somewhere. It's the state of Perdido Beach.
12. Try not describe any gore, please. I'd prefer if I didn't have to read someone getting their ribs sawn off and their heart being ripped out.
13. BE REALISTIC!
Yeah, lots of rules. So what, not too long to read.
I'll be giving out "Strikes" to players if they break a rule. One strike for each rule. Once you get 3 strikes, you're ignored from any post for 1 month.
Time for the application!

Suggestions (Optional):
Other:
Get denied 3 times and you will be ignored for 1 month.
This next section will be for those who haven't read the books. Though your characters can't meta-game, you yourself can know about different locations and all that.
There's a barrier wall that surrounds the area, and it is impenetrable. Besides this, it's an actual full sphere that centers on the PBNP, or Perdido Beach Nuclear Plant. The barrier itself can be seen by people. For some reason the barrier is a pearl grey colour when you're near it, but when you look up at the sky, it has an illusion of the sky, like it's a giant TV screen.
Hermit Jim's shack and mine shaft:
Hermit Jim's shack has loads of canned food. It's just outside the old abandoned town, which is located at the mine shaft. It has a small 12 feet by 12 feet patch of grass next to the shack, as if an act of defiance, since it's in the middle of a desert. It's got a shed behind the shack, with loads of those army meal things, and a bunch of ready-to-eat food. They've all gone past the best before date, but as the best before date is best before, and not used by, it's still edible. There's a small well next to the shack, with a hose next to it. In the shack are books, an old cot, and a La-Z-Boy recliner chair on top of a Persian rug. Beneath both is a small trap door. Underneath that are 14 gold bars, about 8 inches long, 4 inches wide and 2 and a half inches high.
The abandoned town is a town with a mine shaft. Just outside the mine shaft is an old pickup truck, and inside the mineshaft, just at the entrance, is Ol' Hermit Jim's body, dead, before the "Big Poof" The pickup truck's keys are in the pocket. Down the mine shaft, an evil creature lives there, which feeds on radiation. It infects your mind if you come close and stays in your mind, talking to you, giving you bad thoughts and trying to use you as a slave. This shouldn't spoil the series that much, just the first 100 pages or something in the first book. Considering there's 500 pages in each book and there's 6 books, it's hardly a spoiler.
Lake Tramonto:
Lake Tramonto has fishing boats in the lake and on a small little dock. In the dock's office are some packaged chips. There's also a can of fuel.
Evanston Air National Guard Base:
There's multiple train carriages, each with a large supply of an item. One has moldy oranges, another has cans of Pepsi, one is filled with Macbooks, another filled with Nutella, one with Cup-a-noodles and the last with RPgs. About 10-20 of them.
Nuclear Plant:
The nuclear plant is the dead center of the FAYZ's sphere barrier. You'll find a couple of SMGs, and a bunch of guard uniforms.
San Fransisco De Sales Island:
On this island you'll find a small cruise ship, which has a helicopter on it, and on the island itself there will be another helicopter. The island has it's own generator, plus a large 3D cinema, a working kitchen, all of the stuff you'll find in a celebrity's house, because it belongs to two movie stars. Also, in the basement, there's a secret passageway, where you'll find a small plant of marijuana (In book, don't blame me.).
Though the celebrities had children, I will not allow you to start on the island, your character must go there themselves.
That's pretty much all you'll need to know. Just remember your character's don't know, and making some statement like "Bob decided to travel north, then turn right, just because he was bored. He ended up at the Evanston Air National Guard base, and randomly went and found a train with nutella, so he had a feast" will not make me happy.
However, if you do something like, "Bob went to the library, where he found a large map of California. There, he found out about the islands to the north, and looked at some books in the library to find out there was a celebrity island on one of them" will be allowed.
The mutation of the coyote is crazy. Their size increased to the size of a wolf. They stopped fearing most animals and started hunting them. However the craziest part of their mutation was their ability to speak human tongue. They somehow learnt English, too. They obey the creature that lurks at the bottom of the mine by bringing it humans with powers, so the creature can use the powers for itself.
Snakes:
The snakes developed strange leathery wings underneath them, however, they can only glide. Their venom is shot at prey, and when the acidic venom lands on skin, it lays eggs underneath the skin. From there, about a week later, weird green bugs crawl out and feed on the body, whether it's dead or alive.
Green bugs:
Once the green bugs grow into adults, which are about 4 feet high, they start spreading the eggs. (Yeah I don't get how snake venom becomes insects, it just does.)
Zekes:
Large worms about 2 inches in diameter. They can sense prey. They have large mouths, the inside being filled with sharp teeth. They have small fin-like legs. They are territorial, and hang around farms and agriculture. If any meat creature stand on their territory, they start eating right through them with their sharp teeth, and using their legs they can push through the flesh.
Seagulls:
The seagulls mutated into seagulls with large hawk-like talons instead of webbed feet.
Sea-bats:
Bats that live in air-pockets in sea caves. They can swim through water. They are blue, and can breathe underwater. Along with this they fly. They are extremely horrible to eat, even though filled with nutrition, however, the zekes like them and allow you to pass and collect food if you throw sea-bats at them. (Your characters don't know this, remember.)
The next section your characters should know about.
Perdido Beach school:
The main school in Perdido Beach. Kindergarten - 12th grade. Only roughly 200-300 students.
Coates Acadamy:
A boarding school. There has always been a weird rivalry between the Coates kids and the kids in town. The Coates kids are from wealthy families, and, although the school tried to disguise the fact, strange. Coates was the place to send your kids when they became "difficult". The school houses a variety of kids, from mentally disorded kids to psychopaths. Most of the kids aren't mentally disabled, but have been sent to CA for doing some kind of act that was pretty much illegal, or their parents just didn't want them around.
Town Plaza:
The Town Plaza is surrounded by a bunch of small business shops, like McDonalds, the hardware store, subway. Besides this there's the Church, the Town Hall, and the Library. In the center of Town Plaza is a fountain that almost never works. There are multiple wooden benches in the town plaza.
National Park:
The National Park has loads of Camp Trailers. Your characters may find food, water, and fuel there.
Below are the images of the FAYZ, and the image of Perdido Beach itself.
Striked players:
No one, and hopefully stays this way.
In game characters:
Felix Murphy - GeorgeNinja
Age: 17.
Appearance: Being both rather tall and large Felix has always been an intimidating youth. He stands at the impressive height of 6'4", dwarfing his fellow kids and even most adults. He's rather muscular as well, his strength and fitness the product of his parents and their strict, healthy lifestyle that was practically forced upon him. His skin is lightly tanned and has its fair share of markings, ranging from scars here and there to the occasional spot or pimple. Still, he has a fairly handsome face and nice, healthy white teeth. The boy's eyes are deep brown in colour, while his short hair (maybe an inch longer than a buzz cut) is a simple, solid black.
His clothing is simple, usually sticking to T-shirts, jeans and shorts, whatever he happens to come across in his room. For the moment he is wearing a black T-shirt that shows his muscular arms off, alongside a pair of dark blur jeans and a pair of tough, brown boots.
Personality: To be shown through roleplay.
Birthdate: March 5th
Starting Location: School.
Power: Earth Manipulation. (As he grows stronger, this could possibly expand into metal manipulation as well.)
Backstory: There isn't much of a story to Felix's young life, other than his parents being fitness freaks he has had a pretty standard time living in Perdido Beach. With that said, he's always been protective of his twin sister, always being there to have her back when she had a problem. He shot up in size when he was only eleven, and surprisingly reached his peak at twelve when he really started to fill out, making him a pretty scary sight when his classmates looked at him. Not that he ever really gives people reason to be concerned. After all, he's a friendly guy.
There haven't been any big events in Felix's life, really. The most exciting things that could come to mind would be his sister's knack for getting into trouble, which of course always ended up with him being close-by to control the damage done. Beyond that, he's a pretty normal high school Junior living in a small town.
At least... That was the case up until about three months ago. While hiking up in the hills just outside Perdido Beach Felix and his sister ended up uncovering some rather remarkable skills they never suspected they'd had. To break it down to the basics of what happened, Jessie lost her footing and started to slide down a pretty steep hill with a rocky base. Felix then, somehow, forced a solid chunk of rock to spike out in front of her, forming a platform that she slid right onto, stopping her before she could get hurt. Not that either of them realized it'd been him until later. When they did Jessie was pretty pumped, convinced that she must have some kind of superpower too since they were twins. Low and behold she was right!
Since then the siblings have tried practicing with these new powers whenever they've had the chance, though between their parents, friends and school it's been a struggle to find enough alone time to practice together.
Suggestions: None that come to mind.
Other: Welcome to the FAYZ, California!
Jessie "Jess" Murphy - GeorgeNinja
Age: 17.
Appearance: Being a fraternal twin to her brother, Jessie obviously doesn't look exactly like him. She has shoulder-length vanilla blonde hair, soft and wavy, along with a fringe that almost touches her eyes. Speaking of which, Jessie's eyes are a bright, sky blue. The rest of her facial features are pretty standard, but either way she is clearly a rather pretty young girl, the kind that got a fair bit of attention from the boys in school. She's rather fit as well, once again thanks to her fitness freak parents, though her figure is quite slender and her muscles nowhere near as large as her brother's, nor is she as tall as him, standing at the height of 5'8". Still, she could probably beat any girl her age in an arm wrestle or a foot race. The only similarity she shares with her brother, aside from facial structuring, is her lightly tanned skin with plenty of scars dotted about. Finally, her bust is a simple B-cup.
Jessie's outfits are a bit more adventurous than Felix's, for while she still has her fair share of T-shirts and the like she is far more partial to wearing slightly more unusual outfits, presumably because she likes the attention they tend to gather. Her current outfit is no less odd, being a fairly normal white tank-top along with a pair of red shorts. Nothing unusual so far, right? But then comes the long, black scarf she wraps around her neck, letting the end of it fall down her back when the wind doesn't catch it. On her feet are a pair of thick, black boots that look WAY too suitable for kicking things hard enough to break them, and on her hands are a pair of fingerless red gloves. To top it all off Jessie wears a white polar bear hat on her head, as in one with a little bear face on the front and two little bear ears on the top-side. Maybe not the weirdest outfit, but definitely not exactly normal either.
Personality: To be shown through roleplay.
Birthdate: March 5th
Starting Location: School.
Power: Wind manipulation.
Backstory: Jessie has always been the adventurer between the two siblings, which was probably the reason why her brother became so protective of her. When they were younger she was the one climbing trees, doing bike tricks (or trying to) and generally doing whatever she could do enjoy herself. Carefree and wild, Jessie made a lot of friends and earned a few enemies among her peers, but she could handle those enemies just fine. She's been in her fair share of fights in school, and she rarely came out worse off than the other side. Never having stopped to take a good look at boys Jessie has been quite ignorant to the amount of male attention she received in school.
As detailed in Felix's history, he and Jessie uncovered their abilities about three months ago when hiking in the hills outside Perdido Beach. Where Felix discovered his by saving Jessie from getting hurt, Jessie figured her own out through sheer willpower and determination. In her mind if her brother got superpowers, she should have gotten them too! Twins and all, right? So, after a good hour of messing around, trying to figure out how to 'wake them up' with various different methods, Jessie ended up (due to a little frustration) thrusting her hands out in Felix's direction. Much to her pleasant surprise a strong gust of wind hit him hard enough to knock him over! Thus, in her mind, the super siblings were born!
Suggestions: Nothing in particular.
Other: California and FAYZ go hand in hand!
Edward Williams - X5_Berserk
Age: 16
Appearance: Edward is about average, standing at around 5'11. His hair black hair is combed to the left. He is skinny though not so much that you could call him bony. On the day of the "Big Poof" he had been wearing a pair of blue jeans, black nike shoes with a red outlined check, and a black t-shirt with an image of bright blue boomerang spinning.
Personality: Generally happy he's never had a real reason to obsess over someone or something, though he is a prideful individual and hates being second guessed.
Birthdate: June 3rd
Starting Location: School
Power: Super-Speed
Backstory (At least 1 paragraph): Born to a relatively normal family he never had to deal with drugs or gang members. But there was school, and everything seems to slip through in school. The school of course had it's intervention programs for those coming for lesser neighborhoods but Edward had never really bothered himself with it, in fact he preferred to distance himself to that kind of attention. In order to keep himself out of boredom he jogged, he didn't have a strict routine or diet, he just went out whenever he was bored or frustrated with school work. There were times when he joined a charity run but he never made first place, or any standing of note, usually finishing in the twenties. But he usually found these to be relaxing joyful experiences, even though his muscles would beg to differ sometimes.
Suggestions: Er....I don't really have any ideas to add up for this.
Other: FAYZ in California? But on a side note i'm sorry my back story is kinda weak, but I'm not entirely sure what i could add up.
Maertha Staye - Sempria
Age : 17
Appearance: She a is 5"9 White teenager with deep black hair which is soft and rather silky and goes only-just past her shoulders. Her eyes a light blue but look rather grey during dusk, she also has a Caucasian facial complex which complements her eyes. Her body complex is a little higher than average weight and she was working to get this down. Besides this, she wears a dark top saying "FOOD FOR AFRICA" on it with a teal SuperDry body-warmer over the top (Thick jacket without sleeves) and has blue jeans, dark ones. Her shoes are Jordans which she values very much.
Personality: Maertha is a rather timid person but is kind and rather loud with her friends. She could also be considered a rather sensible person most of the time but does know how to have fun, a rare luxury in the FAYZ Incident but this can all change when she's angry. When she's angry, she attempts to destroy the nearest thing or hurt a person if they're unlucky enough to be in her... area.
Birthdate: February 11th
Starting Location: Hardware Store, working as a cashier.
Power: Amplified Hearing
Backstory: Maertha's been shy and quiet her whole life so by renting out her own home in 73 Brace Road, she proved to her parents she was strong-willed despite. Then she got her own job, as a cashier which surprised her parents even more, having speak to people she's never met each day. Her confidence had a large plummet though, he boyfriend dumped her right in front of all the customers and she'd nerve cried so much in her life after-work. She called in sick the next day.
Months later, the effects still lingered on her conscious but once again she was mostly confident and able to continue happily. She was still weak-willed though and easy to manipulate due to her fragility.
Then several more months later, she developed Pyrophobia. The home next door to her caught ablaze which then led to her's also catching fire. She was never more afraid for her life and anything before. She lost everything in the blaze and soon moved back home with her parents on 13 Fourth Avenue. She was a wreck but kept her job.
Suggestions: Egh... nope.
Other: California is a state isn't it... not a city? Don't ask me, I'm British.
Remi Alstar - zappy5443
Age: 11
Appearance: Remi is not very tall, even for her age, she is short. She has long blonde hair, that she keeps loose, and dark green eyes, she is Caucasian and is quite pale. She has a skinny build, and generally wears colors and clothes that would be considered girly, or made for females.
Personality: Remi is a very friendly person. She does not mind helping out where she can, and will help people no matter who they are, although she can hold grudges against those who do things wrong, especially to her. She doesn't have much of a temper, though she can be annoying, she is not known for her intelligence either. Of course as a eleven year old, she would be curious about the world and new things, though she can be very cautious.
Birthdate: October 15th
Starting Location: Sleeping in, she is home schooled.
Power: Illusion, though quite limited. Her illusions can be seen by everyone, and how long they can hold depend on her mood. If she is quite emotion they may only last a few minutes, though if she is calm and collected, focusing on it, she can make it hold for much longer, though she had never been able to hold it for over an hour. Her illusions are not able to effect people physically, though as long as it does not inflict pain, which she cannot create, she can make them feel touch, as well as smell and sound. After illusions, she can get bad headaches and nosebleeds, not to mention that illusions, if targeted at an area that she is in, will effect her too. FAYZ
Backstory:
Remi does not have too much of a backstory, not yet, she is only 11! She was an average child, curious, friendly and loved to go to the park. She knew some other children from the park, though they were quite older, so she was not able to get much interaction with kids apart when she was at the park. When she was old enough to go to school, she did, for a year, though it was quickly obvious she did not enjoy it, and her family decided to home school her. On the day of the 'Big Poof' she was sleeping, as her parents usually woke her.
Suggestions (Optional): -
Other: Living it up in the Hotel California!
Arion Hunter - Lauryman
Arion Hunter
Age:
16
Appearance:
I'll put up an image after I post this.
Personality:
Brave, friendly, nice, modest, doesn't like too much attention. Tends to be a natural leader, but refuses it.
Birthdate:
May 8th
Starting Location:
Perdido Beach School
Power:
The ability to create light beams. He can change the temperature of the light from luke warm to sun hot, however, the light itself doesn't radiate heat other than it's own particles. He can make the light float in the air or send a beam in a certain direction. Since the light can reach the Sun's temperatures, it can burn right through most metal. The light itself is a blue colour, that gets whiter as it gets to the center of the light. It's about 5 inches in diameter, but the actual burning light is 3 inches. (For any who's read the books you'll know this is Sam's power, don't care if I don't have originality.) The power is a 4 bar.
Backstory (At least 1 paragraph):
Arion was born at a hospital north of the FAYZ, but still in California. The reason for this is because there is only one doctor in Perdido beach and no hospital. He likes fishing, hiking and many other activities. One day, when he was 15, his dad went fishing along with Arion. Leaving the Perdido Beach marina with their own fishing boat, they went out into the sea, each ecstatic, and each gripping their fishing rods. Once they started fishing, Arion had caught a large tuna fish, while his dad caught salmon. However, due to his father's rowdy past, a large vessel came by and took both Arion and his father. Their hands were tied with rope and were strapped to old plastic chairs. In front of them was a crazy old gang leader, who had lost his eye due to Arion's father. In the past, his father was a CIA agent, and his job at the time was to track the gang leader and take him into custody, while the gang leader's was to prevent that and kill Arion's father. They both failed their missions, each with a price, Arion's father lost his job and the gang leader lost his eye.
On the boat, the gang leader looked right at Arion's dad. "Been a while, huh?" His dad spat at the gang leader's feet. He got slapped with a glove in return. "I do believe this was just painted. Not very polite. I've been tracking you, Zak. I wanted to return the favour from this," the gang leader said, pointing at his eye patch. "So, I'm guessing this is your son? What would you do if we threw him over board?"
"No, you wouldn't do that!" Zak shouted.
"Why not?" The gang leader made a hand signal to a random sailor and they grabbed Arion's chair, then kicked him off the side of the vessel.
"NO!" Shouted Zak. He then looked back to the gang leader and balled up his tied fists. "You're going to pay for that!"
Arion fell into the water, and started to sink. However, his hands were free as the rope untightened, and he simply swam back up. He found a small metal ladder that he could use to climb onto the side of the ship. When he got up, he saw his dad about to get kicked, and Arion shouted "NO!" , palm raised, as if to say "stop" with his hand. However, as he shouted, a small blue beam of light hit the sailor's hand. His hand now had a 1 inch wide hole in his palm, without blood pouring out because the heat had sealed the wound already. The sailor started screaming in pain, yelling, "The kid shot me! The kid shot me!" Arion looked at his palms, his eyes wide open. There were no burn marks or anything on his palms. His dad also looked at Arion in awe. Arion quickly ran to him, and picked up a knife that must've been dropped by the sailor, then started to cut the rope.
The gange leader shouted, "Stop them! Now!" but Arion had already finished cutting the rope, and he threw the knife at the gang leader, hitting his thigh. Arion and his dad jumped off the boat and started to swim to their boat, about 10 meters away. There were sounds of gun shots, and splashes of water around them, but they managed to get to the boat safely. They started the engine and drifted away, but the vessel was faster and caught up.
"Use that weird thing you did before!" Zak shouted over the wind.
"I don't know what I did!" Arion replied.
"Just try!"
Arion held his palm out again, trying to do what he did before, but failing. His power wasn't developed enough and he wasn't used to it. It seemed like it activated in panic. All of a sudden, a large gatling gun started shooting at them. "Try now!" Zak shouted.
Arion yelled, "Stop!" and held his palm out. It worked. A small beam shot out his palm and hit the bottom of the boat. A small 1 inch hole was now sitting on the side, and if you angled yourself you could see it go right through the boat. Water started to seep in, and the boat started to slow. The boat then started to lean forward, nose facing the water. A
"I'll get you, Zak!" shouted the gang leader. Arion and his father reached Perdido Beach, and stayed quiet about the little incident. Arion didn't use the power ever since, until the present day.
During one normal school day, while Arion was day dreaming about home, there was a fire alarm sound at the school. Everyone ran outside and watched fire erupt from one of the school classrooms, a grade 1 classroom. Teachers were discussing about how no one should've been in there, but then there was wailing. Arion heared that the smoke killed you more than fire, and the classroom was almost completely air tight. Arion ran inside the school, hearing shouts of "Wait! We called 911!" but he simply replied, "Whoever's in there's going to die before they get here!"
He ran in with his shirt over his nose, and ran to the burning classroom. He started to smash the door, with no luck. He then tried opening it, and the door opened without resistance. Arion facepalmed himself, then instantly gut ingulfed in smoke. He was forced onto his hands and knees, and as he crawled in he found a little girl who was unconscious, with a lighter in his hand. Next to her was a 10th grade report card. He pulled the girl out of the classroom and managed to get her out the doors. The teachers ran to her and picked her up, and was about to say how dangerous that was to Arion, but he was back inside. He grabbed a fire extinguisher and managed to put out all the flames, before the fire fighters arrived.
He walked outside, and the fire fighters were all praising him, and giving him pats. He ended up on the newspaper, although he didn't really want to be. Everyone in the school knew him, but he tried to stay hidden, wearing normal clothes to prevent looks.
The police found out that the little girl's big brother had gotten the girl to burn his report card, and he was frowned upon, and sent to Coates Academy.
Suggestions (Optional):
I dunno, dude.
Other:
He kind of disappeared after the fire event, and tried to stay hidden, as he didn't like all the attention, so most just ended up forgetting about it.
Daniel "Danny" Johnson - Iceinfly
Age: 15
Appearance: Danny is tall for his age, standing at about 6' 0". He has unkempt brown hair and a slender head. He has light green eyes that border on the side of gray. He has long legs and long arms but is naturally quite slender.
Personality: Danny is always full of life and is constantly happy. He has a natural smile and a positive air about him that few can match. He is a decently smart fellow but prefers to leave the problem solving up to those who are more suited to it.
Birthdate: November 1st
Starting Location: Outside Perdido Beach School, ditching class.
Power: Danny has the ability to absorb the powers of other people who come within a 20 foot radius of himself. Danny will only be able to absorb one power at a time from the first person who comes in contact with him but he may eventually be able to differentiate between different powers.
Backstory (At least 1 paragraph): Danny was born to a small, stereotypical American family. His father worked in real estate and his mother was a stay at home mother. His family frequently went camping in the National Park and enjoyed spending time both at home and in nature. Danny was always a social butterfly, loving to interact with everybody he could and generally being around people. He lived a peaceful life, he never had any problems. That is, accept for one. He never excelled in school, much to the dismay of his parents. He had lots of trouble taking tests and thus, he was quickly thrust into a bad crowd. He started ditching class and doing some more... unsavory things. One day, Danny was ditching class and standing beside Perdido Beach School when something strange happened...
Suggestions (Optional): Nope, no suggestions. Not yet at least.
Other: Find the FAYZ and California somewhere within this app. I bet you that you can't. Wait a second...

(Screw it, Caine's power. I don't care if I don't have originality, go away :p) Telekinesis. He can carry, move and send objects in all sorts of directions, up to 30 feet. He can only focus on two objects max, though, one in each hand.
Backstory:
Blake was born in Las Vegas, Nevada. His mother died when he was born and his father is a drug addict and an alcoholic, who spends most of his money in the casinos. Eventually, Blake got sick of his dad who kept abusing him and hurting him, so he ran away. Managing to hitch-hike truck drivers, he got around the USA until he reached West USA, California.
He was adopted by a family while he was walking around the streets, and he went to an ordinary school like everyone else. However, he got attacked by bullies at school, but Blake brought his pocket knife and started attacking them. He was sent to Coates Academy, which is where he is to this present day.
One day, he realised he had the power. He was stopped by a bunch of idiots in the boys dorm, and he said "Talk to the hand" and shoved his hand in their face as he walked off. This acted as an invisible fist punched the guy, and he ran off crying. Blake kept his power in secret, figuring out a way to use it to his advantage, and that's when the "Big Poof" happened, and he was all of a sudden in the FAYZ.

Joshua "Josh" Brent - Lauryman
Joshua "Josh" Brent
Age:
14
Appearance:
Blake is a tall 14 year old, standing roughly at 5'10". He has dark brown hair and blue eyes. He has a lean muscular body. He will usually have a smirk or a grin on his face. At the time of the "Big Poof", he was wearing his Coates Academy sport uniform (Since uniform is required at Coates). A red sports top with a small "Coates Academy" crest on top of his heart. His shorts were black.
Personality:
He's a psychopath. He doesn't show it though. He'll have some kind of evil grin on his face most of the time. He hates everyone but himself. He especially hates women, and their "annoying voices", which is why he is hated by female students at Coates.
Birthdate:
October 13th
Starting location:
Coates Academy
Power:
N/A, he excels with guns.
Backstory:
Josh was born in San Francisco, (Is that in California?)to a wild man and a sane woman. His father was a construction worker. His mother left when he was 4, and divorced his father. His father would smoke a lot, and always go out hunting. He had a hunting license for rifles, but he brought out rifles, pistols, shotguns, all sorts of guns when hunting. He brings Josh with him every time. Josh eventually excelled in operating fire-arms, and got lots of game for it. One day, he decided to deliver payback to a guy who annoyed him by calling him a retard, so he snuck out with his dad's pistol in hand, and shot the poor guy in the knee. His dad had enough money to send him to Coates Academy, instead of Josh going to Juvenile Prison.
Suggestions:
Nah, dude.
Other:
The FAYZ was like a blessing to Josh. No adults to tell him not to brutally torture kids for sadistic pleasure.
Flint Pane - ChiliDoesMC/iGuesty
Age: 16
Appearance: Flint is of a slim build and stands at around 5'9. His hair is dark brown, which generally sticks up to form a quiff. He has standard facial features; nothing too noticeably different, except his eyes, which are of a light hazel brown. There is no clear evidence of any muscular features in Flint's arms and legs, and because of this is somewhat underestimated. During school hours, he is usually seen wearing the standard Coates Academy uniform, although may be worn in an untidy manner. Other than that, he tends to wear very plain clothes: a white t-shirt which is concealed by a black hoodie, and accompanied by slim dark jeans with sneakers.
Personality: Upon first impression, Flint is viewed as a lonesome student at Coates; often being seen by himself. Well, at least this is what newcomers to the Academy believe. This just happens to be one of Flint's ways of deceiving other children, and manipulating them into do pointless, tedious tasks for his pleasure. Flint gets his own way with most people, but only for a short period of time, as most realise his tricks after time; meaning he is disliked by the majority of Coates. Along with this, Flint can become extremely ambitious when he believes he has the chance of winning, and may go to a great extent to take control. However, he would never fight a battle he knew he couldn't conquer, and would attempt to make a quick escape from the scene.
Birthdate: 10th January.
Starting Location: Coates Academy.
Power: Fire manipulation - Able to summon flames at his fingertips at first. But as his power grows stronger, he will gain the ability to aim and shoot these flames at targets, just as a flamethrower would. He would also be able to create small balls of fire for the use of light sources, but this is often a tiring procedure.
Backstory: Just like the majority of the students at Coates, Flint came from a wealthy family, as his father was a lawyer, and earned a respectable wage for doing so. Because of this, Flint's father wanted to discipline him in the ways of behaviour and law, which seemed like an awful lot to him; overly making him feel extremely restricted in what he did. Other than this, he led a standard life for a boy his age, which was pretty much: eat, sleep, play. He was once an extremely bubbly child, who was very enthusiastic in everything he did at home and at school. However, in a large town like Perdido Beach, such an extreme personality was frowned upon for being different. Most children in his class would avoid him, in hope they wouldn't have to start any form of conversation, for Flint would be extremely talkative.
Of course, Flint was oblivious to this; at least until the children of his class could no longer face Flint's attitude, resulting in one boy taking it too far with him. It was break time at Perdido Beach School, and Flint was approached by one familiar boy who frowned at him widely. Flint doesn't remember much of what happened next; all he knew he was rammed at, and pushed to the floor in a poorly executed pin. He began to panic greatly, but that was when he felt his hands warming up to an unusual temperature, and there sprouted small flames from both of his hands. Flint proceeded to smother his flame covered hands across the boy's face, ultimately resulting in a moderately severe burn. His parents were immediately called in to talk with the teachers and staff of the school about the situation, but Flint's father refused to believe his son would do such a thing. However, Flint simply admitted to doing it, not wanting any argument between the adults.
Just this one event resulted in Flint being sent to Coates, ultimately being disowned by his father for being so aggressive towards another person. Flint's hatred and aggression just grew at Coates, and his bubbly personality turned to one of a deceitful, amitious boy.
Suggestions (Optional): Nope, anyone who has created a Gone RP has already made the world a better place.
Other: The FAYZ was in California, right?
Red Williams - Okonuki
Age: 16.
Gender: Female.
Birthdate: October 17th.
Appearance: Red is a very small, petite girl. She stands at only five foot, shorter than most other girls her age. She was named for her striking red hair, which flows down her back in a firey waterfall. Perhaps one of the most noticable points on her face are her large, emerald eyes. The only markings on her face are a spattering of light freckles across her nose and cheeks. Her skin is very tanned and browned from the California sun, as a result of her going swimming very often, as her family owned a pool.
Red has a very slender figure, narrow hips and a small chest. She dresses in average feminine clothes; mainly dresses and skirts rather than trousers. Her favourite colours are white and green, so most of her clothes are those.
Personality: A bit shy; Red's the kind of girl who fades into background easily. Thanks to this quality, she has had very little romantic experience. She wishes for friends, but doesn't have many. She is very intelligent and quick-witted, but generally submissive - certainly not a natural leader.
Starting Location: School.
Power: Invisibility. Can turn completely invisible, much like Bug from the books.
Backstory: Born into an a very boring family, Red has had very little exciting life experiences so far. Her father was an executive, working in the company who owned various nuclear power assets, including the power plant in Perdido Beach. Her mother was a stay at home parent. She is an only child, and as a result she has had a lonely childhood. She has had no experience using her power yet, and has no idea it exists. She has been in Perdido Beach school all her life.
She loves art and swimming, and has been in lessons for both since a young age. She loves to draw, sketch and paint in her free time, and often carries around a sketchpad. She hopes to be an artist when she is older.
Suggestions: Nope.
Other: I just hope the FAYZ will be nice to my character... Also, I may submit another application for a Coates kid. Maybe two. Yay, characters!
Blake 'Bro' Harrison - Iceinfly
Age: 16
Appearance: Blake is very tall with dark brown skin, standing at 6' 2". Due to him having been an athlete, he has a powerful upper body and legs. He has a rounded head, dark brown eyes, and large, flattened ears. He tends to wear cargo pants and a tight, white t-shirt. Even on cold days, he never wears long clothes, preferring to stick to his usual style. He walks with elongated steps and usually has his hands in his pockets. He is slow to anger but once he is angry, he will remain that way for a long time. He also tends to be very apathetic about most things.
Personality: Blake is a very laid back individual. He finds being social very easy but he isn't the smartest individual. He tends to stick around with his closest friends. He has a silver tongue which he uses to speak in broken English brought on by years of hanging around the wrong crowd. He doesn't care much for authority nor the law and will try to defy adults at every turn.
Birthdate: September 13th
Starting Location: Outside the school, ditching class with his friends.
Power: Blake has the ability to turn his body into stainless steel at will. This makes him near indestructible and gives him the strength to lift large cars and rip trees out of the ground. Unfortunately, this steel form has a weakness. Very high and very low temperatures will cause major damage to his body, causing it to slow down or become more malleable at lower extremes. And causing his body to almost shatter or melt at higher extremes.
Backstory (At least 1 paragraph):
Blake was born to an incredibly poor family. For his entire life, he lived in nothing more than a small shack which could be taken away at any time by the bank. This caused him to develop a very thick skin (get it?) and also caused him to not have very much respect for authority. Despite all this, he used to be a very good kid. He used to keep his nose clean and would almost never get into trouble. This all inevitably changed, though. On a day much like any other, he met a young man at school.
This child's name went by the name Greg and he and Blake immediately hit it off upon meeting. They both shared the same disrespect for authority but, unlike Blake, Greg tended to act on it. Greg would perform pranks against his teachers and was able to get Blake to join him as well. The two of them became hated by their teachers and loved by their colleagues. Blake eventually adopted Greg's way of speaking after hanging out with him for so long. Greg would always call Blake by the name "Bro" and eventually the name stuck.
On Greg's 16th birthday, he became involved in a major crime. A few of his friends and himself planned a mild prank against one of their teachers. They placed garlic powder all over the inside of the teacher's desk so, when the teacher opened the desk, he would receive a face full of garlic powder. Unbeknownst to them, though, the teacher was deathly allergic to garlic and, when he opened his desk, he immediately went into anaphylactic shock. Unfortunately, the teacher could not get to his epipen in time and died right in front of the entire class. Greg was arrested and Blake was tried as an accomplice. He eventually proved that he had nothing to do with the crime but Greg was not as lucky. Greg was sent out of state to an institution for juvenile delinquents, leaving Blake totally alone. That was, until he met Danny and Shane.
The three of them instantly clicked and they brought about a whole new brand of mischief. Shane was always very submissive and Danny was always ignorant of what was happening around him. This allowed Blake to mold the two of them to the people that he thought that they needed to be. They all began to ditch class together and pull even bigger pranks on the adults, until one fateful day when the trio were standing next to the side of the road outside of the school.

Other: If you have not figured out, this is the same Blake I have been playing as a NPC alongside Danny in the FAYZ in California.
Kailen Solomon - RecoilTheif
Age:11
Appearance: Kailen is average height for his age, not too tall, not too short. He has medium length black hair, kinda like this. He has brown eyes that usually have bags under them, making him look tired, even when he isn't. He has pale skin, which has hardly any blemishes or scars, except a scar from a cut under his right eye. He has a skinny build, making him quite swift for his age. He usually wears clothes that are darker in color, such as grey and black. Although, on the day of the "big poof" he was wearing a cyan T-shirt with a grey hoodie over it, a pair of tan shorts, which come down to his knee, and grey converse shoes.
Personality: Kailen is a very optimistic person, but that doesn't stop him from not realizing the truth of a dire situation, when in a dire situation, he will often be very blunt and disregard others feelings. One of Kailen's most identifiable features, is his intelligence. His intelligence could be considered his power, seeing as he's extremely smart, having skipped three grades already, and it was highly likely that he was going to skip another next year. He's also very perceptive, being able to spot things others wouldn't be able to at a first glance.
Birthdate: April 17th
Starting Location : At home, faking a common cold. (Although he goes to Perdido beach school.)
Power:N/A, Although he is very skilled with ranged weapons. (Smaller firearms, bows,crossbows, etc. Also, is it possible for people to not show signs of powers until a little while after the "Big Poof"? If not I'll just keep him without powers, I might just keep him powerless either way.)
Backstory: Kailen's backstory might be rather short, considering not many notable things have happened in his life, but here it goes. Kailen was born in Perdido Beach, CA, to a man named Jacob Solomon, and a woman named Felicia Solomon. The two were doing rather well on the money side of things, so Kailen had a pretty happy life growing up and could get many of the things he wanted as a child.
By the time Kailen was six, the family had discovered his advanced intelligence, as he was doing way more advanced math than that of a kindergardener, such as multiplication and division the level of a third grader, so he skipped the first grade, moving on to second at the end of his kindergarden year. The second grade was also easy for Kailen, doing problems at a fourth and fifth grade level. Which caused him to skip the third grade too, moving on to fourth at the end of the year.
During his fourth grade year, Kailen had taken an interest in weapons, specifically ranged ones, which caused his dad to take him hunting, Kailen usually using bows to hunt with, though occasionally his father allowed him to use the hunting rifle. He continued to hone is skills with ranged weapons, considering he wasn't very muscular and probably wouldn't be in the future, so he might as well learn how to do something to protect himself. His father allowed him to go to a shooting range and fire handguns, which widened his variety if weapons to choose from.
From there nothing very interesting happened, Kailen went from fourth grade to fifth grade like any normal fourth grader. Excelling at the fifth grade curriculum, he was having to do sixth grade level curriculum. That being easy for him as well, it was decided that he would skip the sixth grade. And at the end of the fifth grade year, that's exactly what he did.
That pretty much brings us to this point in time in Kailen's life, him being at home faking sick during the "Big Poof", not knowing that all adults had disappeared.

Age: 16
Appearance: Edward is about average, standing at around 5'11. His hair black hair is combed to the left. He is slightly muscular, though one could only tell if they observed him for a long period of time. Even though he jogs and works out occasionally with the track team he is often seen as the weakest one. On the day of the "Big Poof" he had been wearing a pair of blue jeans, black nike shoes with a red outlined check, and a black t-shirt with an image of bright blue boomerang spinning.
Personality: Generally happy he's never had a real reason to obsess over someone or something, though he is a prideful individual and hates being second guessed.
Birthdate: June 3rd
Starting Location: School
Power: Super-Speed
Backstory (At least 1 paragraph): Born to a relatively normal family he never had to deal with drugs or gang members or anything serious for that matter, not even a baby brother to baby sit. Though he was moderately successful in his school studies, managing low A's or varying B's, he never felt quite satisfied. For awhile he tried various hobbies he'd read about, model building, gaming, reading, but none of the above seemed to fit with him as well. Until he tried jogging along side a few friends, he found he found this pretty relaxing. When asked why he stuck to jogging or running he would reply "The breeze pushing against me feels great!" or "It's really nice to run around and actually see who's outside." Taking his hobby to the next logical level he joined his school's track team, though he tried his best some were apparently born faster than others, Edward could never quite catch up to his personal rival Brandon.
But this changed about a week before the "Big Poof", he found he was fast, and getting faster. Noticing his increased speed during one of his casual jogging times he decided to push himself to the limit, racing against a mental ghost of Brandon Edward began running faster than ever, and as soon as he reached his peak he noticed his clothes sudden dismissal. Slightly exhausted and embarrassed he quickly slowed himself before he lost anymore of his clothes, and returned home. In the days to come he tried to practice in private in order to better control his speed.
Suggestions: Er....I don't really have any ideas to add up for this.
Other: FAYZ in California? But on a side note i'm sorry my back story is kinda weak, but I'm not entirely sure what i could add up.
((Sempria, accepted, glad you looked at the map! Yes, California is a state, didn't notice I wrote city, lol!))
Age: 11
Appearance: Remi is not very tall, even for her age, she is short. She has long blonde hair, that she keeps loose, and dark green eyes, she is Caucasian and is quite pale. She has a skinny build, and generally wears colors and clothes that would be considered girly, or made for females.
Personality: Remi is a very friendly person. She does not mind helping out where she can, and will help people no matter who they are, although she can hold grudges against those who do things wrong, especially to her. She doesn't have much of a temper, though she can be annoying, she is not known for her intelligence either. Of course as a eleven year old, she would be curious about the world and new things, though she can be very cautious.
Birthdate: October 15th
Starting Location: Sleeping in, she is home schooled.
Power: Illusion, though quite limited. Her illusions can be seen by everyone, and how long they can hold depend on her mood. If she is quite emotion they may only last a few minutes, though if she is calm and collected, focusing on it, she can make it hold for much longer, though she had never been able to hold it for over an hour. Her illusions are not able to effect people physically, though as long as it does not inflict pain, which she cannot create, she can make them feel touch, as well as smell and sound. After illusions, she can get bad headaches and nosebleeds, not to mention that illusions, if targeted at an area that she is in, will effect her too. FAYZ
Backstory:
Remi does not have too much of a backstory, not yet, she is only 11! She was an average child, curious, friendly and loved to go to the park. She knew some other children from the park, though they were quite older, so she was not able to get much interaction with kids apart when she was at the park. When she was old enough to go to school, she did, for a year, though it was quickly obvious she did not enjoy it, and her family decided to home school her. On the day of the 'Big Poof' she was sleeping, as her parents usually woke her.
