YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE READ THE BOOK TO UNDERSTAND IT OR BE ACCEPTED.

This RP is based on a book called GONE by Michael Grant, and this is how the story goes:

You're sitting in your classrooms on a normal school day. Nothing out of the ordinary, but suddenly, the teacher disappears. They just disappear. After a few minutes of confusion, someone tells everyone to get all the kids in the school outside. Later, they find out what really happened, and it goes like this. Everyone over the age of 15 disappeared for some reason they do not know. There is a large, gray dome over Perdido Beach, and there's no surf in the water. Animals are mutating. Kids are developing impossible powers. How many lives will the FAYZ take before it ends? Will it ever end?

This takes place in a fictional town (or at least I think it's fictional) on the coast of California called Perdido Beach, and children have renamed it to the FAYZ. (Fallout Alley Youth Zone)

NOTE: We will try to keep some of the same events from the book.

Character Creation (the best part!)

[b]Name:[/b]
[b]Age:[/b]
[b]Birthday:[/b]
[b]Gender:[/b]
[b]School:[/b]
[b]Appearance:[/b]
[b]Biography:[/b]
[b]Personality:[/b]
[b]Skills:[/b]
[b]Powers:[/b]
[b]One Liner:[/b]

Everyone must be human.

Age: For age, I'd prefer you stick to the 10-14 age range, but you can be younger.
Birthday: If your character is 14, how long until they turn 15?
Gender: Male or female?
School: There are two schools in Perdido Beach, and they are Coates Academy, the private school for children that have done something bad, and whatever the public school is called. Most kids go to the public school.
Appearance: Remember this is California, so there is a lot of variety with ethnicity.
Biography: The back story of your character. Was he/she a bully? Did he/she have a crush on someone before the FAYZ? If they went to Coates, what did they do that was so bad to make their parents send them there?
Personality: The personality of your character.
Skills: What is your character good at? Can he/she hold a gun? Does he/she have a way with words?
Power: Unfortunately, not every kid can have a power, and the kids that do can only have one, which is mostly useless. We need normals, though, so if you don't mind making a normal character, we would greatly appreciate it.
One Liner: One line describing your character. Ex: John, the annoying bully.

Rules (you will not be accepted unless you read the rules) :
If you're OOC (out of character) please signify it by using (( or ** or something like that.

I am a strong believer of three strikes. I will be watching you. If you blow through one, say good-bye to your chances of being a mod.

No one likes a perfect character. They are just plain boring.

DO NOT BE A CHARACTER THAT SIGNS UP AND NEVER POSTS. Those people are not respected and could be kicked from the RP. Make sure to keep up and make it possible for other people to keep up. If you're at a point where someone needs to reply for you to move on, wait and be patient.

I will be the unseen force controlling good and bad things in everyone's lives. You are not that force to control other people’s lives. However, I won't always be there, so this can get uninteresting. If you have ideas, PM them to me.

No God-modding, powergaming, metagaming... You can control NPCs as long as what they do goes along with their personality. If someone made an NPC a nice character, you wouldn’t make them attack you for no reason.

Be realistic. Like a perfect character, if you’re unrealistic, it’s boring. You will get hurt if your battling an army.

Time warps can only be done by me or the mods. If you want a time change, ask a mod or me whether you can or not. If someone's in the middle of fighting, and it's nighttime, it would ruin it for them if it magically turns daytime. You can change the weather, though, as long as it doesn’t interfere with another player.

If you leave the RP for any reason, you have to give a reason your character left. You can choose whether to kill them, have them run away, or do your own little thing. Make it interesting.

Deaths are allowed. Deaths of any character other than your own must be either allowed by me or the dying character. Dead characters can make a new character as long as they're not a family member, clone, or whatever you can come up with to find a loophole with that. If someone was accepted, they die, they make a new character, and their character is lame. I will tell them that. they can either change it or die very soon.

If I or a mod say your character needs changing, either reason maturely or change it. We will never tell you who and what your character has to be, so you can usually decide how to change your character. (we may tell you to add more detail in their background, make them more realistic, etc.) If we say your character dies, you can create a new character, but we're not mean enough to kill them for no reason, so it won't happen very often. And if we think that a certain event is not acceptable, edit it and be done with that.

Any comments that have something or anything to do with the advancement of the story have to be PMed to me and/or a mod. If you post them, there is a HIGH chance it will ruin it for RPers and readers.

Be reasonable. If you have don't agree with someone, PM them. We don't want people to have to have to look really hard for the actual story.

This is one of the most important. Know your setting. Water is scarce, and you don't take showers regularly, and it's, of course, expensive. There's obviously no grass except in occasional forests. There is no water above ground, and the whole ground in this world is netherrack unless you're in a cave. Lava is everywhere, there's no sun or moon, and society is no secret from the shas. Remember these things, or the story will get confusing.

If you have read this, put #$# in your application. If you do not, you will immediately be denied.

You are not allowed to have one sentence in a post for ANY reason whatsoever.

You are allowed to post in 1st person, however, most people post in 3rd and it will sound odd and be hard to follow your posts if they are in 1st person.

You can have relationships, and you can do whatever makes it more realistic, just please, nothing too graphic, and I know you know what I mean.

Cursing is allowed, however, posting f*** every 2 words is annoying, and you know what we do to annoying people.

Note: If all mods disagree with a suggestion/decision I make, I do not have the right to add it to the story. This means it is possible to "veto" what I say. Players can disagree with a mod or even me as well. In this event, it’s the majority of players that can decide against a mod, and the majority of mods that can decide against me if either they or many players disagree with me, so you do have a say.

I am the only person that can choose mods. Mods can't choose mods, they can only suggest to me, and I have the right to say yes or no to them. If you write 2-sentence posts that don't advance the story in any way, are inactive, or have a strike, don't expect to be a mod.

Denied. You barely read the OP at all, and your grammar and spelling hurt my eyes. You also need to add a lot more detail into your app.

You'd be less confused if you read it. Denied. You need to add more detail, and Perdido Beach is in California.

[[Bloody hell I think I've actually read this book. A few years ago going by how much I can remember. Sounds Good.]]

Name: Kasteen Willmarsh
Age: Thirteen
Birthday: 12th of January
Gender: Female
School: Coates Academy
Appearance: Kasteen has shaggy brown hair that she keeps short around her head, framing her face to the extent where she could pass for a feminine looking boy. In fact that's what she has been doing for most of her life. She has practically no chest to speak of and prefers baggy clothes to hide any semblance of femininity that might be attached to her. She has green eyes.
Biography: Kasteen had started out so well. She never cried, and she spoke early and advanced at a reasonable rate, but around the time that she turned four everything changed. her mother divorced her father for promiscuity and he moved away. Kasteen had enjoyed a close relationship with her father, and now that was gone. She struck out at her mother, fighting her at every step for the next year before Kasteen was sent away to Coates. She's been there ever since, never looking back. This new development has made her happy beyond compare. her mother has now gone. the last parental figure she held any connection to has gone. Now Kasteen is on her own, and feels all the better for it.
Personality: Kasteen is fully prepared to be a guy. She fights, she swears, she will probably take a boy of her own age on and win through sheer tenacity rather than any actual skill or strength. She never gives up when she decides on a goal and will not back down from dares made to her. She has a violent temper and no respect for any kind of authority, unless they somehow prove themselves to her. (And even then it's more a of a grudging respect to someone she realises that she can't outargue or outfight.) She does however get embarrassed when people lose their clothes. She may be an angry kid, but she has no interest in seeing people naked. (She also never changes her clothes where people can see her.)
Skills: Kasteen's only overly useful trait is the fear that she inspires in boys (elder or younger alike) simply by being near them.
Powers: None.
One Liner: Kasteen, the overly-aggressive tomboy.

Denied. It was a pretty good application but you didn't read the rules. I think your power is a bit op, though. Do you remember Brittney in GONE? Because she had that same power but only after Caine killed her and she basically became a zombie. So you'd have to die to get that. I kind of want more normals than freaks because I know everyone will want to have a power, but if you can deal with no power, I kind of suggest you do so.

[[I can honestly say I have no recollection of any of the characters or the events of the book, save for the very end, so if I did copy something that happened in it then it was unintentional. And I'm perfectly happy being without a power, so I'll edit that out, problem solved!]]

Name:Endymion Stryker
Age: 12
Birthday: 5th of march
Gender:Male
School:Coates Academy
Appearance:Black, wavy hair. Pale white skin. Eye colors are blue and green due to heterochromia iridum or something else?.
Biography: A child born from a strange cajun family in France. He was often an outcast in everywhere he went. Everyone made fun of his rare eye disorder, he had no friends. In his own house, he was always maltreated by her mother. He was a freak to everyone. His only friend, his father is gone. Often, he spends time alone watching the stars from his makeshift hideout near the nuclear power plant. He often thought of his purpose in this world. Each day he looks for the answer. But one eerie night while watching the stars, he felt something strange in his eyes. Endymion only shrugged it off as a headache and went to sleep. He had a nightmare, everyone was disappearing. Everyone was gone. Even his own mother. He woke up in a cold sweat and ran to his mother.
She's gone.
Personality: Endymion is an outcast. An intrapersonal child, he prefers to be alone and wears sunglasses to avoid wierd looks from the people around. His naive nature is his weakness. He hates Perdido beach.
skills: He knows he won't win from a fight. But his eyes would bring chilling spines to almost everyone who makes eye to eye contact with him.
Power: Something strange with his eyes. Don't look at them.

((This sounds like you need to have read the book in order to be accepted.))

I assure you you'll understand it perfectly fine. In fact, I'd prefer you not to have read the book because that means there will be more freedom in events that happen and you won't know what I'm planning to happen.

((Alright, this looks like it would be pretty good. Kind of makes me want to read the book.))

Name: Sawyer Andretzke

Age: 14

Birthday: 21st of January

Gender: Male

School: ... the public school, whatever it's called.

Appearance: Stands tall at around 6'1", with a fairly thin build. His hair is black and is usually bedraggled and unkempt. Usually wears a brown leather jacket with a black Jimi Hendrix shirt underneath, along with blue jeans and white sneakers. His eyes are hazel, and often wears a bored expression on his face. Often seen walking with his hands in his pockets slightly hunched over.

Biography: Ever since his mother died when he was 7, he has been living with his father, who he argues with constantly due to his father's drinking and gambling. From then he started to get into the habit of arriving late to school, skipping classes during the day and staying out all night, and has been labelled as a delinquent. A year ago, his best friend Georgia, who also shared his delinquent label but with a more bubbly attitude, died of leukaemia. From there he shut out everyone in his life, completely stopped talking to his father, and any other friends he had. That is, until everyone over 15 freaking disappeared, and a dome appeared over the town. He started playing the guitar when he was 8, once he found an old red acoustic guitar in the basement, apparently belonging to his dead mother, who used to play quite a lot.

Personality: Sawyer resents the town he lives in because of all the bad memories he experienced there. Rather than falling into a depression, he became a sarcastic delinquent, a young person who defies authority due to his general apathy towards life. He never flatters, and will always give a direct answer into what he thinks of someone or something when asked, despite it sometimes making him look rude or mean-spirited. In conversations, he is fairly cynical and largely sarcastic, and is always a pragmatist. Apart from this, he is fiercely loyal towards his friends, and will do anything to help them, even if he won't admit it.

Skills: Has played the guitar for around 6 years. Is actually fairly intelligent, he just doesn't care that much.

Powers: None

One Liner: Sawyer, the delinquent guitarist.

Bibliography: He was born in Toronto, Ontairo and had a good life until he was 8 when he moved to California because of his dad's job. When he had just turned 11, on a flight to Toronto to visit family, the plane crashed. He and his dad survived, but his mom broke her neck and died. Ever since then, his dad has had serious depression and was fired from his job. Elliot had to devote all his time to doing paper routes and babysitting to make ends meet. At school, his favourite class is music and he is pretty good. He can play the trombone and wishes he can join the band.

Personality: He is a brain at school and only has a few friends because he doesn't have time to spend. He is angry at his dad for leaving him on his own like this. He knows that if they had never moved, this would have never happened. After everything, he still has a powerful grasp of sarcasm.

Skills: Can play trombone and is a whiz with anything envolving science and technology.

Powers: A couple weeks after the coming of the FAYZ, he develops the power of telepathy (mind reading and control), at close range.

One Liner: Elliot, the sarcastic brain.

Time to RP as the psychopath. Reserve a spot, would ya?

Dude...this was from Oct...2011!!!!!!!! Nightmare...you necro'd something...

I think it just died because he just denied every person that came through, though he made great points as to why they were denied, but i think we should revive this. Seems like we could make this RP work with the community now.

I think one of the good RPers on the forums need to start this, take what they have a make it better and GM it for us, the RP Market might be able to help.
