Default Croatoan - They've been found! Post #274


Welcome to Roanoke City, a town where everyone is on a first name basis. It is full of heritage and culture, dating back to the 16th Century. Whether you have recently moved in or you have lived there your whole life, acceptance is bountiful.

You receive a letter in the mail one day amongst the bills and it strikes your interest. Opening it up, you are surprised to discover it is an invitation.



You are extremely happy to go on this cruise, even if you have family. After all, it’s just a couple nights! You board the ship and three days later you return to your ultimate nightmare.

Everyone in Roanoke is gone. Well, so you all think. The town is still in tact, all that is left is an eerie wind howling down the streets. There are 16 more of you, and you all decide to band together and look around the town. On every single lamp post there is the scratched writing “Croatoan”. What is Croatoan? Where are all the residents of this once busy town? You all head for the main road and find it is guarded by pale residents with black eyes. They were once your friends, and they refuse to let you leave. They have caught the Croatoan virus.


RULES:
1. No Godmodding or Godmoding. Leave other characters alone.
2. No profanity. It will not be toleration. Please, use asterisks or substitute words.
3. Avoid obviously obscene content. Yes, we all know romances are going to spark, so just try not to be blatant.
4. Your character must be a SIM. This will mean unity all round. =) Please respect my decision.

ROLEPLAY:
You must try to survive in a dead town that you can’t leave, without new supplies. I will post events occasionally. Try to unravel the mystery behind the legend and don’t catch the virus! Only 10 people that weren’t on the cruise are allowed to survive, and 5 people can have the virus to start with. This can branch if you would like your character to get infected.

THE VIRUS:
Is a demonic infection that sucks out all emotion. All you feel is hate and greed. Your sole goal is to infect the survivors. It is spread through the blood.

APPLICATION:

You may post more than one character, but they must be in separate categories. Please post what category your character falls under.

Default Scenarios
Scenario 1: RP CLOSED!
It is a couple days before the cruise and your character is living their life as per usual. What dramas will life bring? How petty the troubles will seem after they return from the cruise.
This RP will last from Sunday, 6th Jan - Wednesday, 9th Jan


Scenario 2: RP CLOSING!
You board the cruise ship and meet some old friends and some new ones. Get settled in and even perhaps indulge yourself in a new romance! There is a pool, dining hall, tennis court and lounge for your enjoyment purposes, along with a front deck.


Scenario 3:
Ebony and Laura are assisted off the ship with an "emergency" at 3:00pm.
"Nurse. Hart, Dr. Green, you're needed."
Thinking it is a simple car crash, they calmly disembark with their luggage in a tow. Shortly after that, the other cruisers disembark and find the two women in shock. The town is empty, and there are many of their previous neighbours ripping apart well beloved residents. In the hospital, there are some of the demonic affected strapped into the chairs, most of them hospital staff.
This is a permanent storyline. The cruise ship director is quick to warn the cruise shippers not to let themselves get cut by anything. The safest place to go is the Green mansion, at the very outskirts of town, due to it's size.

Have you seen "I am Legend" Bexstar? The basic idea is very similar, though the context of the film was alright. I'm thinking of joining, although I think there might be a slow start since its only just after Christmas and also, my game hasn't worked in ages. But I'll try to come up with something.

Actually, Burnziiy, this is based on the Supernatural episode aptly named "Croatoan". But I did notice that some things are similar.

Thanks for joining, Faye. =)

Default Lijlina Stambolovic - Survivor
Name: Lijlina Stambolovic

Age: 29

Short Bio: Lijlina, commonly called Lina, was born in Belgrade then moved with her parents to France where she became a citizen. Her father was Serbian and quite older than her Albanian mother, giving the house-hold a tense feeling as Lina grew up. She soon became familiar and even accepting of this friction in the world, not only because she lived with it amongst her family, but also because her father, Joseph, introduced the politics of the world, talking to her about such subjects as the war in Sarajevo, Republika Srpska and Bosnia. Her occupation is a large part of her life, working almost non-stop. She is fluent in Serbo-Croat, French and English, whilst she also speaks German, Albanian and Italian. Lina is currently visiting a friend, Vanja, in Raonoke for a few months and recieved the cruise ticket as a gift from Vanja as she would not be able to go herself.

Name: Laura Hart
Age: 23
Short Bio: No one knows much about Laura, or where she came from, or even her full name, so they just nicknamed her Laura Hart. Laura appears as sweet, friendly and charming, but they say, it's not always as it seems. She moved to Roanoke a few months ago, and is the town sweetheart. She was awarded a free ticket on board the cruise ship since the mayor liked her so much, so she managed to survive.

Thanks for joining, guys. There seems to be a lot of charries with something to do with Roanoke Medical Center. xD It needs to be a sim, Erica. I should go add that to the OP.

Sorry, I was a bit confused since one of the other posters posted a real person - Kat Von D I think? So I thought the same too. Anyway, I have just finish creating a sim, she looks like a simmified version of Kelly Osbourne in the jawline and eyes, but I love her all the same <3

Name: Daan Dagon
Age: 17
Short Bio: Daan isn't very known in school and has a wry coy about him. He has a certain style that is not often portrayed in his social life, making him a conspicuous compared to his peers. Daan though reserved is strong-willed and has a violent temper when under too much stress and pressure.

Daan lost his only sister, who he was very close to when coming back to Raonoke. Losing his father nearly phased him. His feeble relationship with his father only troubled him through his childhood and whithered soon through his teens. Receiving the ticket to the cruise seemed to be a new start for Daan and took it as a great experience but when coming home to an abandoned city of steel was not only troubling but terrifying.

I will probably join, but a question first. If we want to be one of the survivors and not someone on the cruise do we not post our app now? Because one of the people who wanted to be a survivor (I think [I misremeber who]) is listed as on the cruise ship, and I have no interest in that at teh nonce. Thanks!

The humor of a story on the internet is in direct inverse proportion to how accurate the reporting is.
#16 Old 4th Jan 2008 at 2:20 AM
This sounds extremely interesting! Is it O.K. if I join without any experience in RPs on this site? I apologize if the application is bad

Name: Andrew Joseph Griffin
Age: 18
Short Bio: Andrew, or as he would rather be known as A.J. is and always has been known as nervous and a bit antisocial, which led has led to his difficulty to make friends. He had been attending private Catholic schooling along with his three younger sisters, until his parents passed through Roanoke for vacation and fell in love with the city near the end of his Sophmore year. As soon as school was over for summer break his family moved to Roanoke.
A.J. usually keeps to himself and is a bit serious, somehow able to maintain a unreadable face and monotone until he gets to know and like the person. Always courteous and well-meaning, he tends to agree with whatever everyone else wants but does have an opinion which he nearly always keeps to himself (because he thinks disagreeing may be taken as rude) and if asked how he is will always say "I am fine." even if he isn;t. In addition, he is also slightly paranoid and tries to think of every possible situation that can happen so that he will be prepared. Somehow, he has developed a bit of a sadistic imagination and is obsessed with Apocalyptic events which has fueled somewhat his desire to be a writer.

Despite his worse qualities if someone takes their time to know him, he can warm up and may even show a part of himself that people didn't know existed. His parents immediately prompted him to go on the cruise thinking it would help him be more social. They trust him enough to know that he won't do anything regretable.

You most certainly do. But remember to add into your post that your character was not on the cruise ship.

Really? Can this person PM me? =)

Just a simple line in your brief bio like, "[name] was not on the cruise ship and somehow managed to survive". I would really appreciate the help in sorting out who is in what category. Simply not saying they had a ticket isn't gonna help.

We need 9 applications until the Cruise Shippers can start. The applications will remain open until the cruise is over for the Survivors and Infected. =) If you would like, you could briefly RP the day before Aeryn gets on the cruise.
#21 Old 6th Jan 2008 at 3:32 AM
Is it sad that I have been returning to this thread about every half an hour to see if anyone else posted and watch the Supernatural episode twice today? I can't wait for this RP to start.....

Also, we are allowed to RP before the cruise, right? Could we interact with others as we make our way to the cruise instead of us just being by ourselves. It sounded like you said we could role-play by ourselves. I probably misinterpruted but just wanted to make sure.

If someone is willing to RP with you (namely me =P) then sure. I love that episode of Supernatural, but it's not my favourite admittedly. It's not sad at all, I'm glad people have actually shown an interest in this RP! I'm just going to go up to post #2 and change the first scenario. You can RP now. =)

"Hey Ebony, didja get a letter too?" Laura said, pointing to a letter, "Free cruise! Are you going?" Laura could barely contain her excitement, but sometimes it could be mistaken for being annoying. She was sweet, but sometimes a bit of a pain in the you-know-what.
