Stranded on ASDF Island

[firerider521]

You are riding a bus along a bluff when, suddenly, a large rock tumbles down from the walls of the bluff. Fortunately, a boat is down below and you manage jump out of the bus into the water and get saved by the boat's men. But UNfortunately, that boat crashes too and you are stranded on a large island, with no food, water, phone connection or anything(Epic fail!). The island has no human inhabitants, and the crew of the ship is missing. It is your job to survive. You start out with:

A knife,
A hatchet,
A small first aid kit,
A backpack,
A trowel,
Some two things you have brought,
and anything you could have found earlier on the trip. There is only ONE of each thing for the whole team.

Rules: no guns, no EXPLOSIVES, no god modding(Seriously. That wouldn't make anything fun.). I wouln't mind mild cussing, but keep it down a bit.

Taking over the family business, he sold dozens of varieties of items, and liked to go on camping trips such as this one. He likes to yo-yo, and brought one along this trip.

Firerider gets up with a grunt. "Ugh... I hope the other people managed to survive."

That should be good enough. Hope you enjoy. Happy survival!

EDIT: We will stop waiting once it's March 1, Justin Bieber's birthday, because if we go any further who knows what could happen?

Kao wakes up. His legs hurt and he has a huge headache. The sun is shining in his eyes. He is still tired, but forces himself to get up. He realises that he is no longer on the bus that he fell asleep on. He is lying on a beach... somewhere. He looks around and notices two others a little away from him. He begins to crawl over to them, but fatigue overwhelms him. He falls asleep again.

Just before Razakan could answer, Mry. Lol'Man called out to the blurry images he saw that he wished were people "Ehem. A little helf here." He was trapped under the crashed boat's sail. (I hope the boat had a sail )

"im razakan looks like our freind here needs help lets see what we can do" *goes over to lift sail*

(i had an idea for how to tell what we are saying wha our charecters say are in quotes actions suronded by *'s and OFC in parenthasies)

[firerider521]

Alright, let's get started!

Firerider gets up slowly. He sees a few other people nearby. Yes, he says to himself, this may be a good chance. " Hey! Over here!" He calls weakly. " Are you alright? If you could kindly lend me some help, I would be very grateful!"

(OOC usually in parenthasies or italics, and you talk in third person.)

Kao gets up to see if he can stand, and he falls flat on his face. Obviously the crash, or whatever, injured his legs somehow. He starts to crawl over to the person calling out from nearby.

[Anonymously Famous]

Name: Johnathan Franklin Gomez
Age: 19
Skill:
First year engineering student in the local university. He has also seen that movie with Tom Hanks and the volleyball once or twice, so he's pretty sure that he can take on any challenge that this island has to offer.
Personality:
John likes to argue for the sake of arguing. That's why he found himself on the bus to Qwert, and then on the boat, and now on the island. His parents wanted him home by 12:30. He wanted to stay out longer. He was a university student now. Sure, he was still staying at his parents' house, but that was just to save a little bit of rent money, so that he could focus on his education and not on how to pay the bills... So he got mad and stormed off, went to the bus station, and now, here he is. Hey, no one said that teenagers were rational. Fortunately, John packed well for his trip. Unfortunately, all that was left, after the incidents with the bus and the ship, were two things:
Item 1: A cell phone
Item 2: A laptop
Traits:
John is smart, but he's also smart mouthed. He doesn't like to take any crap from anyone, and he'll tell you that. He's not very strong physically, but he would have the makings of a leader if he could get people to see things his way.
Description:
John is a tall, skinny teenage almost-adult. He has jet black hair, medium-short length. He walks with a slight hunch, and like most teenagers believes himself virtually immortal. Since he's almost an "adult" now, though, he has started to get the hint of his own mortality. Especially after almost being crushed by a rock and drowned at sea. He's wearing blue jeans and a white t-shirt with a flaming skull on the front.
History:
John led a mostly uneventful life in a mostly uneventful town. He had friends enough in grade school, but his nerdiness and contrary nature eventually got the best of him. He was on his high school debate team, of course. He was even the captain. However, he continually brought up controversial subjects with his friends, which made them uncomfortable. They slowly distanced themselves from him, leaving him to revel in his supposed superiority. He graduated with nearly perfect grades, but chose a small, but respectable, university close to home instead of going to a more renowned university a few cities away. He said that it was because he needed a break from the mental stress, but it might be just because others thought that he should go to the larger school, so to spite them, he went to the smaller one.

John sat up from his position in the boat wreckage. He heard others moving around, talking, so at least some of the others had survived. He took a look around. He couldn't see the others from where he was, but from what he could see, what had been the boat was the only sign of civilization anywhere nearby. He pulled out his phone. It was still functional after both disasters, but there was no signal. Even if there was a civilization nearby somewhere, they didn't have a cellular signal. His computer was next, with similar results. No Internet either. Sighing, John powered down his two useless hunks of plastic and metal and put them away in his backpack. Maybe the batteries would be useful later.

Suddenly, John felt a stinging sensation. He winced, looking down at his legs. His shoes had somehow survived, though they now had some small holes in them. The legs of his jeans were a little torn at the bottom, and his legs had some minor scrapes. All in all, he felt lucky that he was only hurt this badly. That salt water stung when it hit his scraped up skin, though.

Before leaving the wreckage to check on the others who were on the beach, John took a look at his surroundings. He grabbed a few things:a nearby knife, a small hatchet, what appeared to be a first aid kit, and one of those small shovels that he would use when he helped his parents with the gardening in the back yard. He didn't treat his own scrapes, at least not yet. Someone on the beach might need the first aid kit more than he did.

Finally, his backpack a bit fuller than it had been, John walked clear of the wreckage, toward the small group on the beach. They seem to be mostly moving toward the sail, which had broken away from the main body of the boat.

"Ahoy there!" It seemed appropriate in a shipwreck situation. "Is anyone seriously injured?"

[letterladyz]

Name: Claire Shaw
Age: 20
Skill: Is majoring in fine art, specializing in pottery, at the same university as Johnathan Gomez, though they've never met. She has experimented with different firing techniques, from traditional to modern, and also has attempted to mix her own clay, with varying results.
Personality: Acts like the dumb artist at times, especially to manipulate people into doing what she wants. She's discovered that men respond better to the "helpless female" act than a smart girl, for some reason.
Item 1: her sculpting tools in a canvas holder
Item 2: A large block of potter's clay.
Traits:
Description: Looks like a dumb blond, but is smarter than she looks--or acts, most of the time. Her long, wavy strawberry blonde hair hangs down to mid-back. She usually has it loose, unless she's working on her artwork, when she pulls it back into a braid or a bun (usually with a pencil or ceramic tool holding it together); she likes to wear well-fitting clothes, never too baggy (they get in the way of her work), and has a well-toned (but not muscular) physique. She cares about her appearance--unless she's doing art, in which case she won't seem to notice clay, glaze, paint, or whatever on her face, clothes, and hair.
History: She's very independent and has lived in her own apartment/art studio since starting college. She loves doing things with her hands, and her childhood playing in the mud evolved into a love of pottery. The girl that may act weak and helpless in the cafeteria becomes a different person in her studio, as she lugs heavy bags of clay around, loads and unloads the kiln, and generally knows what she's doing.

RAzakan goes over and tries to lift the sail "a little help here the more people we have alive and well the better chance of survival we have"

(FIANALY AN ACTIVE RP)

[BenBen]

(ikr. Just proves how good an idea this is. I wonder how long it'll stay active though.)
Kao decides that perhaps his legs just got a bit shaken up in the crash. He attempts to stand again. He's a bit wobbly, but he can still stand and walk. He goes over to help the other man with lifting the sail.

[Anonymously Famous]

John jogged to an area where the sand appeared dry and shrugged off his backpack, then took out the hatchet and the knife. Then he strode quickly to the sail, which was, of course, attached to the ship's mast.

"Let's get this sail off of this guy," he said, glancing toward the tall kid with the sword. He motioned toward the weapon with a nod. "Can you use that thing?" he asked, starting to slice through the sail's ropes with the knife.

[thecolorblindguy]

oh course i can said razakan after we pick up this sail i look for food

[letterladyz]

Just then, there was a groan from under the sail. There was movement from another part of the sail--there was apparently more than one person trapped under the heavy cloth.

[Anonymously Famous]

"There are two people under there?!? Hurry up, kid!" John yelled to the younger guy with the sword.

Sure enough, they made short work of the rigging. There was an older man and a...

"A girl?!?" And she was cute!

Ignoring the older man (OOC: Sorry, Lol, but between an old guy and a young girl, which one would you choose?), John offered his hand to the girl. "Are you alright?"

(OOC: I hope "making short work of the rigging" wasn't too much character control, colorblind. Just trying to move the story along a little faster.)

[thecolorblindguy]

(NP i dont mind)
Razakan taking controll of the situation said ok il see what i can find for food Kao can you walk if so look for fire wood anyone if anyone has any ideas then we should get going with them

[letterladyz]

"I think so," she said, brushing her hair back, then reaching for the young man's hand for help up. "What happened?" She winced a little--she was definitely going to have some bruises, but it didn't seem like anything was broken or sprained.

[Anonymously Famous]

John helped the girl up, then glanced at his surroundings. "I wish I knew," he said, trying to remember what had happened since the bus. "It's not every day that you get your bus smashed by a rock and wind up shipwrecked. It's the stuff those conspiracy nuts dream of." Then, in a voice that hopefully only she could hear, "We even have a ninja..."

Then he really got a good look around. "Hey, ninja kid, we should really take care of the injured first, right?"

He saw Kao trying to keep his balance. "You. Kao, was it? Sit down. You need some rest at least."

John got out his first aid kit and turned his attention toward the other person who had been trapped under the sail. "Hey, old man. You'll be okay. Have you been hurt?"
