In the middle of a forest within a valley in the mountains, ther lies a plain, in that plain there lies a mysteriously large temple, or castle, or mansion of some sort. As an odd line of light sweeps across the plain, caressing all that lies in it, changes occur. Parts of the building change in design to resemble that of older buildings, from ancient civilizations to ones from just a few decades ago. The lands shift in color to match the seasons, to match damage left behind from wars, to help project certain moments of the past.
Not many dare enter, as the events that take place can do things to one's mind, and that many consider it taboo to interfere with the ghosts of the past that supposedly still reside there. Yet there you and a few others sit by a campfire on a plateau that towers over what you and many other members of your group call the Temple of Times Lost. Some of you are socialising, others are checking their gear, making use of their anteens, resting, or keeping an eye the rest of the others.
You all plan to explore this temple and discover it's mysteries, and this is how they'll identify you as the adventure goes on:
-Name:(as nobody in their right mind would climb with a total stranger)
-Gender:(see above?)
-Age:(they also don't travel much with anybody who just got out of college)
-Bio:(careful now, it might just affect your journey)
-Appearance:(no, you can't have anything besides a human this time)
-Tools:(you can pick about 3 tools, and you already have rations, a flare gun, a grappling hook, and a climbing pick)
-Main Duty: (some are there as bodyguards, other as architects, others as mere adventurers)
-Understanding of the standard rules of an RP, which you will have to follow during this RP: y/n/s (yes, no, or somewhat?)
Name: Charlie
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Bio: Charlie is a bodyguard for hire, most of his jobs pay well, and his bank account is full to bursting. He's killed many people, and he is grim, he always prepares for the worst, no matter what. He doesn't get along with others, and is concerned mostly for his paycheck than anything else, though he finds the house intriguing.
Appearance: He is tall and lean, his dark brown hair hangs long over his face, and he wears a dark brown shirt, and light brown pants. His eyes are a startling blue, and his face is a light brown colour. In his bags is a long trenchcoat, his tools, a spare pai of pants, two more shirts of the same colour, and an old book passed down from generation to generation in his family.
Tools: 6 1/2" Nickel (It's a revolver) (Also, does it count as a tool?) and ammo for it, a handaxe, and a machete.
Main Duty: Defending everyone from whatever's in there, if there is anything
Understanding the rules: Somewhat, I've played other RPs, though it would be nice to know the rules for this one specifically.
Thanks for the chance to RP in this, it seems interesting.

Why yes, I sure am single. But not really guys, you're not really my type. Except you Hugs, only because I sure do like hugging zombies though. Oooh yeah, that sure was a good zombie hug.
and in this case i guess i'll just create some rules:
1. don't godmod or i'll have to eliminate your character in a much more brutal manner, and trust me, i can probably think of many ways this building could slay somebody.
2. there are only two things that you can control: your character, and certain events near the character
3. planning ahead would be a very good idea, reserve yourself a post before you start advancing the plot to save time and brainwork.
4. editing is your friend
5. don't go too far onto the crazy train when posting, the mood of the story will be mainly serious.
6. if you plan to do some OOC talk in the story, put that in a set of double paragraphs, like so: ((this is an example))
7. don't try and kill your comrades, you'll probably need them for later, escpecially if you're a bodyguard.
y'know i probably should have used rule 4 there for the rules.
as well as for this message.
ah well.
Lol.
Got the gist of the rules, hopefully I don't break any. Sounds like an interesting idea, never seen one like this before.

This doesn't seem to be all that popular... I guess I'll toss my hat into the ring in hopes that it helps.
Name: Virgil Crex
-Gender: Male
-Age: 25
-Bio: Mother Nature can be a harsh mistress. Having been born with an extremely weak immune system, he has penalties to Strength, Constitution, and Dexterity. But all is not lost. Afternoons spent with a fever and a good book have afforded him unnaturally high Intelligence. Is currently set to take his place on the Pantheon head council as the arcitecture representative pending the results of the expedition.
-Appearance: Will this work?
-Tools: Watch (maybe it'll help detect weird time effects or something), Swiss Army Knife, Crowbar.
-Main Duty: Architect, I guess.
-Understanding of the standard rules of an RP, which you will have to follow during this RP: y
i shall put him on the "to be accepted" list.
naturally i would have had him accepted already, but i do wish to see the finished version of the bio before i do so.
Well, as long as I'm borrowing protraits from arcanum, I might as well borrow a background.
It's close to what I had planned anyway:
Mother Nature can be a harsh mistress. Having been born with an extremely weak immune system, you have penalties to Strength, Constitution, and Dexterity. But all is not lost. Afternoons spent with a fever and a good book have afforded you unnaturally high Intelligence.
I said founder, the leader in the profitable diplomacy thread is his decendant (as the Crex family has traditionally at least been on the council, throughout history.)
I may have to change the name though upon hearing about it being the 21st century though, Magnus founded the pantheon long before then.
It also means he's probably here on pantheon business if that's not a problem. It will most likely just amount to him mentioning it a few times, and being a motivator behind a few actions.
Yeah, maybe we should start it with just me and Gameguy going ahead to scout it out or something?

Bio: Being born with asthma he is not a very athletic person, he's had his share of sports but his physical abilities are still limited. He is a rather curious person who wishes to know the why and how of everything, something he inherited from his father. His father was an explorer who went to many lands searching places no one else dared enter in a search for knowledge. He was presumed dead on his latest expedition, all that was sent back to the family were his personal belongings and some gear. After graduating medical school he heard of an expedition being planned for this strange structure and the ones in charge were searching for volunteers with something to contribute to the expedition, he signed up at once. He believed he would be able to offer something to the group with his knowledge in the field of medicine and he wished to see this structure for himself attempting to follow the footsteps of his father.
Appearance: He is shorter than most people his age, has tan skin, he has short jet black hair and brown eyes. He wears his father's old exploration clothes and gear, he wears glasses over his eyes as he is near-sighted, he also wears a lucky necklace given to his father by an indigenous tribe, he also has a safari hat but does not usually wear it.
Tools: A Colt revolver with 12 rounds(owned by his father), a first-aid kit, a small pickaxe, a hunting knife, and a pair of binoculars.
Main duty: Heal any wounded people, keep the team alive
Understanding the rules of an RP: Somewhat, this will probably be my first RP so consider me an RP newbie. I've read other RP's but like I said this is the first I will join.
PS: Just don't make me do any advanced medical procedures because this is just an RP character for me and I'm not a real medical expert :tongue.gif:

only he's in the early 21st century in this tale...
well, if you're willing to work around that, feel free to consider yourself accepted.
