Pandora Crisis
~~~A survival RP~~~


Cometerium City lies in the middle of the mountains, blanketed by cold snow. You awake within this city in which you lived after seeing a bright light. What you find, however is a scene much more gruesome than you could imagine: For creatures can be seen roaming the city. Armed with nothing but your own two hands, only wit, determination, and luck will get you through this horrid hell.

This roleplay consist of many twists and turns. Any amount of people may join within the first few days that the RP is posted. How it works is, your character roleplays as normal until he/she gets an EVENT signaled to them via PM. They have two days tops to post a reaction to this Event which consists of multiple paths for a character or characters to go down. Within the roleplay your characters will also receive clues on where to go in order to reach safety. There will be a clue of the week updated regularly. If a character manages to put the peices together, they may be able to gather clues to escape!

~~~Creatures~~~
Creatures roam this Roleplay and trust me, they are not pretty. Certain creatures are locked in planned locations and can only be unleashed by character interactions. If attacked by a creature(which will be stated in a small post of mine) a character will be PMed possible options and choose one path to follow in their next post. If they happen to choose a foolish action(example: Bill decided to run through the zombie army) they will be killed off in a post by myself, and will be informed of their untimely death. If the correct path is chosen however their character will escape, but only barely. They will have to find a way to escape the creature by distracting or hiding from it.

~~~Death~~~
Death posts will be made when a particular person is killed off due to an unwise decision. Once killed off a character cannot be reborn. The Roleplay will continue until the last character is killed off or is the characters escape. There is a chance to avoid death. Using common sense and stealth in posts will guarantee survival.

~~~Items~~~

Throughout this roleplay many items can be found. ANY common item can be used within the city. However Guns WILL NOT be in this roleplay as the goal is survival. Objects such as lead pipes, telephones, etc can be used as weapons. However these objects will only exists in their respective settings. A telephone lying outside on the ground will definitely not be acceptable like a telephone lying inside of a house. Some helpful items would include camera's, radios, food, fire extinguisher.

~~~Realism~~~

Characters participating will be 100% human characters. Anything else will not be acceptable for this roleplay. Also the actions of characters must not be "superhuman" in a sense where they can burst through glass windows without getting scratched or jump three stories to the ground without injury. Also characters who have not eaten within a day will die from this roleplay. This is more of a realism roleplay and so your character must be able to do what it takes to survive. This includes looking for food to eat. Food items can easily be found in houses and restaurants. A list of injuries and human needs will be displayed in this thread.

~~~Puzzles~~~

This roleplay will contain puzzles and hints on what to do in order to obtain freedom from the city. There are three different paths of escaping ranging from easiest paths to hard. Once a path of freedom is taken, it is not possible to be repeated by others left in the city. Once characters have escaped their role in the roleplay is over, but it depends on whether there are characters left if the RP will still go on. Puzzles mostly include searching and finding keys, clues, and items which will help your character progress further to their goal of escaping. it is best to do these in teams but going at it alone can be beneficial. Puzzles promise not to be too mind boggling and will come with hints on how to use them. it is up to the roleplayer to use these items in escaping.

~~~Escape~~~

There are three methods of escape:

- To be Revealed -

~~~Specialties~~~

Specialties are abilities that your characters can use as a special ability that pertains to only him or her. Only two of each can be possessed at the same time. If one person dies with the ability you want you can choose to swap your ability for theirs. If a person with a certain ability ifs in a group he or she can use their abilities to help whoever they are paired with. A person with cooking abilities can cook with little food ingredients making sure the group doesn't go hungry for the day or someone with stealth can hide their partners along with themselves very well in small places.

Endurance: A person can endure a really long fall or an attack from a creature more likely than an average person.

Stamina: A person can run away for long periods of time of long distances without getting tired.

Cooking: A person can use little ingredients around them to make food. (must have food ingredients).

Stealth: A person can hide or sneak past creatures without being noticed. (Does not work in crowds.)

Fast thinking: A person can be given more options when faced with a life or death decision.

First Aid: A person can heal themselves and other characters of injuries. Cannot revive characters however.

Scholar: A person can receive first class information on puzzles and situations which will enable them to figure a way out of the city.

~~~Creatures~~~

Siren-Blood-Curse-Enemies.jpg

Sirens - These are the many many women who work in the local Hospital. They once worked on patients, but now they've come to like butchering them instead. They use various hospital needles and knives to hack innocents top pieces.

ChainSaw_Majini.jpg

Lumber Hack - Once one of the proud residents these lumberjacks now mutated have found their way onto city streets. Their hobbies include shouting, running, and slicing through human flesh.

images

Cannibal youth - It seems that the local elementary school has become a breeding groud for children who crave flesh. These creatures may harbor the innocent faces of human children but when hungry they become cannibalistic, attacking anything they see and ripping it's flesh off with their teeth.

And many more...

Name: Dr. Krysta Elnori PhD

Age: 28

Profession: Doctor

Appearance: http://i54.tinypic.com/zx5krd.jpg
Krysis is a tall woman, standing in at 5,11. She has long orange (dyed) hair, and dark green eyes. She is often seen by other men as beautiful, but she simply isn’t looking for a relationship with anyone. On the left side of her face is a facial tattoo that she got when she was much younger. For clothes, she prefers them loose. Her shirt is a tank top that exposes the shoulders, but has sleeves to cover her arms. Her hair is very long, going down to her lower back.

Personality: Krysta is a woman who makes her decisions based almost purely by logic. That isn’t to say that she isn’t an emotional woman. When push comes to shove, she has the ability to push all emotion aside and go with the most logical decision. Unfortunately for those around her, this means that she will push someone under the bus if it best suits the situation. Even if she may feel guilty about it later, she lives by a “what must be done; must be done” mindset.

Other than this, she is actually a fairly nice individual. She is willing to help others (if deemed logical) whenever the time may come. However, deep inside, she always has ulterior motives. She is a manipulator, and doesn’t mind using people to her advantage. Adding onto this, she is a stone cold liar. She could lie to someone’s face and they wouldn’t know it. She could want to murder someone where they stood but speak to that person as if she had been friends with them for years.

However, if one is on her good side, she will treat them as a friend, and make sure they are well treated. She will do what she can to protect them and herself. But be warned, as stated above, she will protect herself over anyone else, as she is a very selfish and self-centered person.

Specialty: Scholar and First-aid

History: Krysta was raised by two parents who, while they loved their daughter, they were horrible at showing it. Even though they raised her well, they were still distant. Her childhood was silent, uneventful, and otherwise boring. While she didn’t have any good childhood memories, she didn’t have any bad ones either. This led to Krysta not only becoming detached from her parents, but detached from most of humanity.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t care, it wasn’t that she didn’t want to care, and it wasn’t even that she wasn’t trying… she just didn’t know how. At times she would connect to another human being, and she would enjoy it. But it never really lasted. She made plenty of friends as was expected, but none of the friendships lasted long enough for her to make a long impression from it. This is why she values what little friends she does have, and it’s why she is capable of making them. It’s just hard for people to do so, as it’s hard for her to do so.

She graduated High School with the intent of becoming a Doctor. Not to help others, but to attempt to meet new people, and to make a ludicrous sum of money. Also, she really wanted the title of “Doctor” with a PhD to back it up.

Name: Alyss Malian

Age: 19

Profession: Slacker Extraordinaire

Appearance: http://i56.tinypic.com/4pwiyp.jpg Alyss is somewhat short, standing in at 5,5. She has navy blue hair (dyed), and green eyes. While her hair is long (going to her mid back), it’s always put up. She has round, small, hooped ear rings in both ears, and the left side of her bottom lip is pierced with the same kind of ring. She wears multiple necklaces that are loose, and not made of strong material (they can be pulled off). Two distinguishing marks are two scars above her left breast, and two scars on her right arm.

For clothing, Alyss wears a purple tank top under a white tank top. She wears two red arm bands, one for each wrist, and an upper black arm band on her upper left arm. For pants, she purple loose slacks.

Personality: Alyss is carefree, happy, and whimsical… which in all reality is just a fancy way of saying that she is lazy. She lives in the moment, and is typically happy with what she does. No goals, no ambitions, no anything… Alyss is nice to everyone she meets, and doesn’t discriminate against anyone, as she views everyone as a human being, and will try her best to get along unless someone is just being really annoying.

She enjoys video games, reading, computers, complaining, and science fiction. She openly discusses these things, and openly admits to them. Alyss loves a good joke, and loves bad puns. She doesn’t care what anyone else thinks about her, so if the time comes to be rude, she will bring out her “A-game”.

Alyss is scared of the dark, and terrified of horror video games. She loves to play them, but they do scare her senseless.

Specialty: Scholar and Fast-thinker

History: Alyss comes from a rich family… a rich family that is always out of town. She typically lives alone, in a rather huge house, and has all the money she could ever need due to her parents being as wealthy as they are. Because of this, she’s lazy, and isn’t looking to getting a job in the future. However, she isn’t stupid. She spent most of her days reading, writing, and playing video games. While she wasn’t looking for a job, or higher education, she can still hold her own in an intellectual debate with the amount of books she reads.

She loves people, and finds most people interesting. Always willing to get to know someone, and give them a proper chance, most people find that she’s a joy to be around… even if she is terribly, terribly, lazy.

EDIT: FINISHED



Name:
Artemisia de Lazarus

Age:
25

Profession:
Museum Director and Head Curator

Appearance: 1#
2#
Artemisia is below average height, being 160 cm tall. Her body shape is slim and lithe. Her hair is a white-blondish colour and of decent length, with the back reaching between her shoulder blades. Her fringe and bangs frame her face, with the side bangs curling down to chin length while her fringe is a loose straight chop that reaches just past the eyebrows and above the eyes. Her eyes have central heterochromia, with an odd very light cyan colour being the base with gold flakes littered around from the eye, all spreading from the pupil, which is one of her interesting factors. She has an elegant face which portrays seriousness and with it, somewhat reflects her personality.

Due to her body shape, she does not possess buxom chest nor bottom, though her curves are still there. Her size also makes her preferred clothing work better too, which is a black female suit. Her pants and her jacket are black, with a black leather belt with a silver clasp, while her vest is a darkish gray. Her suit shirt is a darker shade of charcoal black whilst her tie is black. She wears a pair of form fitting black leather gloves on her hand while she has sturdy black heeled leather shoes.

Personality:
Her face reflects a rather good image of her personality. She is serious, terse and logical, but refined and well mannered, much of this due to her profession. She has always been a rather old fashioned, but refined girl in terms of her interest, liking classical music and being an audiophile as well as garden architecture, artworks, fencing and quiet walks.

She is disciplined and often does not like ruckus. In her line of work, Artemisia can be calculating and manipulative at times, but generally, if things were going smoothly and there was nothing that annoyed her or anything, she is nice and civil, though some people are not used to her unusual politeness.


Specialty:
Scholarly and Stamina

History:
Artemisia was raised in a rather privileged lifestyle. Her parents were rich and she lived in a mansion with sprawling grounds. However, they did not believe in spoiling and while she did have maids and servants as well as a plethora of clothes and such, She was drilled with their family tradition of class, elegance and resourceful. Thankfully for her own sake, Artemisia was a child that preferred the more quite style of things, rather than being bratty and noisy. She was inquisitive enough to drink down knowledge, but was smart enough to know what was best for herself, which was following her parents instructions.

Through her own striving to live up to her family beliefs, Artemisia excelled at school, being sent to exclusive private boarding schools with high standards. She was truly a de Lazarus with her results and her success as Student Council President. At the end of high school, Artemisia decided to try and leave the nest, which her parents approved. She found jobs and work to rent and pay her own University fees and to support her own lifestyle. Sure enough she was independent and it didnt take long before she was not just merely surviving, but earning big money through various outlets such as business consultancy, lawyer firms, art critic and such. She quickly graduated from her Bachelor degree with double majors and honours before moving onto her Masters, which she also graduated with honours. By this time, she had enough money to pretty much do whatever she wanted. Artemisia wanted to do what she enjoyed and thought that being the Director and Head Curator at the prestigious
Cometerium City Museum. Of course, with a little work, her resume and a bit of pulling with family connections, it didnt take too long for her to snag this position.

Her parents, satisfied with her achievements as a sign of being a de Lazarus, bought a large property for her with a sprawling house and grounds for her to move in, which she did. She immediately went ahead and restructured the land, recreating her house based on a Japanese theme with modern amenities and designed the gardens herself in order to make her own private haven. She filled her this haven with artworks and her personal items and hired staff to keep the property in tip top shape. All in all, she was quite satisfied with her 24 years of life and after working so hard since leaving high school, Artemisia felt that she can start relaxing a bit and enjoy her fruits of her sweat.

Character Bio:

Name: Nia Orzech
Age: 21
Profession: Waitress by night/House Cleaner by day
Appearance:

beautiful.jpg
Hair Colour: Pale Blond
Eye Colour: Sky Blue
Skin Tone: Fair pink
Height: 5'6
Weight: 55kg.
Build: Petite.
Clothing: Nia is usually seen wearing pretty summer dresses or wearing her work uniforms.
Personality:
Nia was born an ugly duckling so she has the personality of one. She is kind, yet socially awkward. Friendly yet oblivious to her stunning looks.

She will get very nervous when shown attention, particularly from men, often breaking out into a stutter, her face going as red as a beetroot. She will look anywhere but their eyes when speaking. But when she sees someone in danger or hurt she will do her best to help them putting others before herself as she has been bullied into thinking she was worthless.

When around friends, family or other trusted people she can be quite fun, with a quirky sense of humour, she will laugh at anything and everything even if it is lame and hardly funny.

Speciality:
Cooking
: Nia has a natural talent for cooking, she would cook for her parents when living at home and has begun work in a high class restaruant in hopes of gaining a chef apprenticeship.
Stamina: Working two fast-pace jobs both during the day and during the night has built up the girls stamina. She will also go to the gym in her spare time to keep up her physical appearance.

History:
Nia was born an only child, she had lived a reletively normal life with her loving family who were neither rich nor poor, up until the age of 7.
Nature was unkind to her during her childhood and cursed her with the looks of a beaver. She had buck teeth, a ratty face and no dress sense. The kids at school used to pick on her and exclude her... things didn't improve when her parents bought her braces to straighten out her teeth.

She spent most of her school life alone without a single friend until 16 when she began to fill out and grow feminine. Suddenly people began to take notice of her, boys began asking her out and the popular girls wanted to befriend her. Nia was unsure why but she had already decided she didn't want to be friends with these people and ended up quitting highschool at age 17.

She tried studying but didn't have the patience for it and ended up finding two part time jobs and moving out of home. Nia eventually plans on doing more with her life, in particular becoming a chef but for now she is content Cleaning rich people's homes during the day and waiting on them in a restaurant at night.
 
It sounds and looks very much like Silent Hill, to be honest. I'd like to reserve a spot. Will put up a character bio some time soon.
 
OH OH OH! Squiddy!

You clean rich people's house? You can be a part time new maid hired by Artemisia. She is rich and likes things done prim and properly, so that might be an option?
 
Well I'm glad people are interested ^_^ I haven't seen much of a horror survival based RP around anywhere so I'm hoping this one gets off the ground. Hopefully we can RP something frightening and entertaining at the same time. I do hope that this RP goes on for a good amount of time :hmmm: If everyone dies off too soon I guess I'll just have to begin another round of survivors.

Characters accepted:
Dr. Krysta Elnori PhD
Alyss Malian
Nia Orzech

Waiting for other bios ^^. I like that there's a good amount of characters already. Hopefully we can make a solid storytelling Rp. It's not a pure zombie flick as there's only one creature that actually eats other people XD Genetic mutationy goodness all around ^o^
 
Boo to you Oli. \You missed Artemisia de Lazarus >.<

I really dont want Artemisia to die. I rather like her.
 
OH OH OH! Squiddy!

You clean rich people's house? You can be a part time new maid hired by Artemisia. She is rich and likes things done prim and properly, so that might be an option?

Sounds good to me! Gives my character a good place to start and it will be more beneficial starting in a pair than alone ;)
 
Alright. Good to hear. I can sorta imagine what might happen and how Artemisia would act like.
 
A day more! Or maybe later tonight. I'll try and get something up by today... Promise!

(I guess I'm challenging myself with that one, but we'll see how it goes. A promise I make shalt not be broken!!!!

.. I hope)
 
Hm... just thinking... should i amke another so that i dont get kicked outta the RP IF Artemisia dies....?
 
ok i editied my bio so there was more history... noone told me to i just felt like it needed some more input into it.... just reminding people that im still interested in joining this rp
 
There! I did keep to my promise, yay~ I'm kinda worried about having my character die early though... She won't be the clever one solving any puzzles...

Name:
Natsuki Matsumoto

Age:
14

Profession:
Student

Appearance:
Here

Natsuki stands at a height of 155cm, and generally looks very mature for her age. Puberty clearly came to her at a much earlier time than most, and as a result, the only way anyone can tell she isn't that old is through her naivety in conversation.

By normal standards, she is considered rather pretty. Her hair isn't as long as shown in the image - it only reaches down to slightly below her shoulders. Her shoes are not as seen in the image. In this role play, she is wearing black-colored slippers.

Personality:
Lackadaisical to a fault, Natsuki is perhaps one of the greatest student in her school with an exceptional talent for failing tests. Despite the constant nagging from both her parents and teachers alike, she shrugs it off, saying she'll probably just marry some rich man when she gets older and live a simple life as a housewife.

Amusingly, she says this despite hating to do household chores, or anything manual - with the exception of shopping.

Her one real talent is in athletics. More often than not, she would be the class representative for the school's sports competitions.

Specialty:
Stamina and Stealth

History:
Born to ordinary Japanese parents, she was spoiled so much that her parents said at one point that they 'regretted having her'. Nevertheless, keen to change her, they started a serious regime of disciplinary actions taken against her when she misbehaved.

While she began to behave at home, she started to show her defiance in others way - through her results.
