[HEADING=1]BATTLE ROYALE[/HEADING]
A light flickers above your head; it slightly dazes you as you sit up on the school desk in which you've been sleeping soundly on. Sleeping on a school desk? That's not right.
You rub your eyes and feel something cold against the skin on your neck. What is this? You tug at it and wince in pain. It's a metal collar secured tightly. It only crosses your mind now to look around at your surroundings. The classroom is damp and dark. Old blinds on the windows shut out the blinding morning light. Directly below you, under the desk, lies a familiar frame. It's your science lab partner and he's unconscious. You kneel down to inspect his sleeping body and discover he, too, has a metal collar strapped to his neck. You look around. Bodies sprawled out deep in a dream state ? the class clown is sat under the window with his head dipped and drooling, the most popular girl in the school is face-down on the floor and the arrogant, narrow-minded jock is slowly waking up.
It's your first instinct to dart to the door and try to open it but it's locked. You spin around and stare in confusion at the purple-haired goth girl whose trying to figure out what?s
going on.
"Wh-where are we?" she shivers. "Hey, I'm talking to you!"
You stare back in silence.
"Did you do this to me?" a dark-skinned girl whimpers as she scrambles to her feet. "Well?"
"He didn't do this?" the arrogant jock says, defending you. "They did."
He extends his arm to point at the large black board at the top of the class. You tilt your head to the right to see the words written in white chalk. BR ACT. Suddenly it's hard to swallow. You know what this is but it can't be real, can it? You hear someone cuss loudly and someone else drops to their knees in terror but you can't react. You can't even think. You try to process what's going on until someone unlocks the door from behind you. You jump with fright and bolt to the other side of the room where you slightly crash into a table and try to regain your balance. A man has marched into the room accompanied by four armed guards in military uniform.
"Alright, kids, this is the last time the majority of you are ever going to be asked to listen to an adult again so, listen up!"
The man has a husky voice and an unclear accent and he tries to catch the attention of twenty-four teenagers in disbelief. His chubby, short legs support his enormous stomach and upper body. He's clad in a navy blue suit, obviously tailored to fit such a large man, with gold buttons and burgundy slippers. His dark brown ? almost black ? hair is receding and he has a thick moustache on his top lip. He's quite the vision but unfortunately for him he just can?'t grab your or the rest of your classmates attention. Everyone sits in different quantities; groups, pairs and some solo but none are invested in what this man has to say. A trio of girls are huddling together: crying and declaring their love for each other, a group of boys are devoted to a panicked conversation about what was happening, one boy sits with his head down cupped by his hands, your lab partner is looking around frantically for a means of escape while the dark skinned girl and another boy are caught in a gaze at the four security guards standing behind the man. Each armed with a rifle. Each ready to fire and riddle any of these young souls with bullets should they do something stupid.
"Again, I implore you to listen, kids, as if you don't and you neglect to follow the rules you'll find yourself stone cold dead a lot sooner than if you listen up and learn the game. In fact, if you pay attention to what I'm about to tell you then you may just be the lucky one that gets out of this hell alive but if you don't listen - "
Several of the teenagers begin to hush and the panic stills in the large room. They look at him with grim expressions of hopelessness. Your situation is inevitable yet inside yourself and each and every one of your classmates heads you are processing how you can escape. It?s no use, though. The only way to escape is to survive. And to survive, you have to kill.
Most of you don't know me but I was active here a few years ago, mostly in the role-play section of the site. I was a lot younger then and probably not as intelligent or creative as I am now and definitely not as reliable. I ran a couple of successful role-plays (teen titans, among others) and tried to run a battle royale role-play back then, too, but a combination of the participants' lack of interest and my lack of dedication led to the fail of that RP. I'm back now, though, with a more structured role-play and idea in my mind. If you're interested ? keep reading, thanks.
I'm looking for six-ten active members to participate in this. The game itself is set in the ruins of a Japanese city that was once a bustling and popular holiday destination but now is home to lions, tigers, elephants among other animals and has also become encapsulated by mother nature. Vines hang from building to building and city streets are almost jungle-like.
It will be your duty to navigate throughout the map with the aim of survival. I will frequently post updates about characters whereabouts and environmental changes e.g. someone encountering a vicious lion or heavy rainfall etc.. Who dies and when they die will be decided by me but written by the players. To make this fair it?ll be a combination of players? activeness, the level of their dedication to this role-play and the luck of the draw. I will PM players to keep them informed about going-ons and stuff.
Once accepted I will PM players about their location and their given weapon and then things will get underway. Yay.
