Guest Supreme Gamesmaster Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 In 1903, a poverty-stricken man living in the south African Cape Colony by the name of Hlelie was buried alive in a landslide, exact location unknown. No one knew, no one cared — until his journal was found by a Kuwaitian tourist, where it was revealed he wandered into a "funnel in the earth" under the suspicion something of immense magnitude was building. Twelve people around the world are convinced he's right. Though in drastically different locations and each separated by the curse of Babel, each of them are determined to solve the mystery of what was hidden in Hlelie's Funnel. But time is running out. War has broken out between Russia, the U.S.A., and North Korea. All their allies are bounding to aid their allies in dominating the battlefield. Followers of the recently assassinated American politician Barack Obama are picking up arms and fighting as well. The doomsday clock has struck midnight, and World War III has finally begun. Discovering the secret of Hlelie's Funnel could save the world and end World War III if it's found in time. The curse of Babel looms over the world as petty conflict leads to grandiose destruction. Will one of the Hlelie's Funnel researchers be able to save the world — indeed, will all of them — or is World War III really the end? *•.\*•.Application.•*/.•*Name: [Name]Gender: [Male, Female, Transvestite]DOB: [Date of birth] [Must be 20+]Height: [Height, in both metric and customary measures]Weight: [Weight, in both metric and customary measures]Birthplace: [select one of the Locations listed below to have been born in]Appearance: [Description, tektek, dA... this is the least strict part of the application]Fields of Expertise: [What you specialize in]Fields of Aversion: [Anything your'e particularly bad at]Favored Gourmet: [Favored Gourmet]Favored Beverage: [Favored Beverage]Economic Status: [How rich your character is]Home: [Where your character lives; we want to know if you live in the slums or if you own your own lab]Career: [What your character does for a living]Hobby(ies): [Any hobbies your character has; this must not correlate to career]Biography: [Must be listed; no one has any reason to have a clouded or uncertain past in this RP]Audition: [A scene from your character's past] *•.\*•.Locations/Researchers.•*/.•*Dijon, France: Jacques GarnierKanggye, North Korea:Marshalltown, Iowa:Yopal, Colombia:Coban, Guatemala:Makeni, Sierra Leone:Nelson, New Zealand: Zeo ShinodaAl Salemy, Kuwait: (NOTE: This researcher begins the story in South Africa, after finding Hlelie's journal)Darhan, Mongolia:Stromness, South Georgia Island: *•.\*•.The Plot So Far.•*/.•*(None outside summary) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~The Red Crusader~ Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Name: Zeo ShinodaGender: MaleDOB: 1984.Height: 188 cmWeight: 80kgBirthplace: Nelson, New ZealandAppearance: http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs5/i/2004/285/b/a/detective_by_GENZOMAN.jpgFields of Expertise: Shooting, Agility, First AidFields of Aversion: History, Cooking, StealthworkFavored Gourmet: PizzaFavored Beverage: SpriteEconomic Status: MediocreHome: ApartmentCareer: He is an InspectorHobby(ies): Basketball, which he plays with his friends and colleagues.Biography: Born in Nelson, he had a well childhood. He lived a peaceful life, as a Surgeon in the Nelson Hospital. One day he was robbed and beaten up to near death by some local criminals. He was quickly transported to the hospital, survived, but lost memory. After that he beginned working as an Inspector, and for now solved 12 cases. He was surprised when he managed to remove a bullet from his colleague's buttock, and he went to Nelson hospital again. There he got the true story. When WW3 started, he didn't care, but when he saw how many people are dying, he did his best to try and stop the menace.Audition: Zeo was walking a dark alley. He was wearing a thick fur jacket, because the night was cold. He was taking a shortcut back home, because it was late, and he was tired. The surgery he did today was excellent. Now, his house is only 200 meters away. Then he saw one suspicious, hooded man. After him, another one. And another. "Three of them" thought Zeo."Am I the target?" Suddenly a man jumped by him. He was masked, Zeo couldn't see his face. "Give me your wallet!" said the man, sounding demandingly. "Why should I? That's what I earned, not YOU." replied Zeo. "I expected from you to co-operate. But you were so stupid. Guys, get him!" said the man, and two more men, big and strong, also masked, jumped on Zeo, binding him to the ground. Zeo then received many hard kicks and punches into his head. And only the head. He tried to stand up, but failed. The men continued to punch him. When he lost conciousness(Or however it's said.) they took his wallet, with a nice sum of money inside. But they didn't take away only his earnings. They took something bigger. They also took his memory with them. And it looked like it's never coming back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyub Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Name: Jacques Garnier.Gender: MaleDOB: 25/06/1962.Height: 183cm - 6 foot.Weight: 90kg - 198 pounds.Birthplace: Dijon, France.Appearance: Fields of Expertise: Physical Activity, Logic.Fields of Aversion: Technology, Reading, Writing, Speaking Out Loud.Favored Gourmet: Coq Au Vin.Favored Beverage: Eau-de-vie. Economic Status: Above-average.Home: 4-bedroom house on the outskirts of Dijon. Enjoys playing sports in his 3-acre garden. His son performs experiments in the study.Career: Police Officer.Hobby(ies): Sports, helping son with experiments, puzzles. Biography: Jacques was born in a middle-class house in Paris, to a loving family. His mother was a teacher, his father a police officer. His life direction was mainly guided by a robbery when he was 3, when a burglar broke into their house. The burglar worried about his crying, and pointed the gun at him. Suddenly, his father rushed in and disarmed the man, breaking his arm. Jacques looked on in awe, his mind made up. He passed college with flying colors, and became a police officer, under his father's guidance. This carried on until he was 25, when a car crash killed his father. This strengthened his resolve, and he progressed through the ranks until he gained the rank of Police Chief in Dijon, leaving his elderly mother behind in Paris. At 30, he was surprised by a child at his doorstep. Apparently, a night liaison meant that he had a child. The mother had died, and so the kid belonged to him. He welcomed his son, Alain, and made sure he had a good schooling. Now, at 40, his son, now a scientist, has told him of a war starting, and a secret called Hlelie's Funnel that could stop it. Now Jacques is determined to help his son, and stop the next World War. Audition: Jacques looked on in fear as the black-clothed, foreign man rummaged around the living-room. He was pointing a metal tube at him, that looked dangerous. His eyes watered, and he began to cry. The man's eyes widened in terror, and he pointed the gun threateningly at Jacques. Suddenly, the door creaked, and Jacques' father rushed in. "Daddy!" Little Jacques gleefully shouted, while his father disarmed the man. His father grinned, and punched the man, knocking him out. "Now, remember Jacques, I'll always protect you. Just call for me, okay?" His father said, hugging him. "Yeah! I want to be just like you, Daddy!"

Guest Supreme Gamesmaster Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 No. Like, novel format, but use paragraphs where appropriate. So instead of, "Blah blah," Zeo said as he sat on a chair. "Blah blah," Yellow said as he picked up the chair. Zeo fell and yelled, "Blah blah!" it would be, "Blah blah," Zeo said as he sat on a chair. "Blah blah," Yellow said as he picked up the chair. Zeo fell and yelled, "Blah blah!" OR, Zeo sat in a chair. "Blah blah," Yellow said as he picked up the chair. Zeo fell and yelled, "Blah blah!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
