In the year 2040, a secret organization has been established around the government. There is no name for this organization, but the civilians call it, "The Union." No one knows who runs the union but they do know that the union kidnaps men and women. But those that have been kidnapped have never been seen again. The reason for these kidnappings, is what The Union calls The Game. It is a manner of natural selection, in the overpopulated world. The Union brings in humans, all from different cities, and forces them through vigorous testing in order to see if they have what it takes to survive.

You were just a normal civilian, but one day you were captured. The men who captured you were all dressed the same. A tuxedo and a bowler hat. You only saw them for a quick second before you were knocked out. You came to in a dark room. A blinding light was all you could see. A footstep is heard to your right and you try to move your head, but find you are completely tied down. The light dims and your eyes adjust to the light. You see a man standing in front of you with a clipboard. He nods to the two guards beside him and they walk out of the room. The last thing you hear before the man speaks is what sounds like a large metal door closing. The man clears his throat and looks at you, adjusting his bowler hat in the process.

"I am M. The owner and founder of The Union. And you have been selected to participate in what I like to call, The Game." M said as he gestured to a camera. A guard walks in and hands M a pen. He grabs the pen and thanks the guard. M looks back at you and readies his pen. "If you accept to these terms, we will take some information from you and you will be brought to The Game's headquarters. If you decline, you will be killed. So to recap those choices; you accept, you have a chance to live. If you decline, you die." M looks at you expectantly and waits for the reply. As you accept, he starts to read off the clipboard.

The character sheet is what was on the clipboard, minus the parenthesis.

Appearance: (What your character looks like. Height, weight, build, hair, hair color, facial hair, etc...)
Other Notes: (Anything that isn't on the sheet that you want to note about your character)

I will be controlling all Major NPCs. All characters must be from different cities, as it says in the story spoiler. Make your character a normal civilian. The Union would not kidnap any soldiers or government officials. If there are any questions, please ask me through PM. Also, it is possible to die in this RP so don't be stupid.

Rules are common sense. The most important one is no controlling others. The first time, you get a warning. Second time, a second warning. Third time, you get killed off in the RP by the hand of God/Me.

PS: We need more females! We have none :(

Kids: no
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Writing Hand: Left
Occupation: Accountant
Education: University graduate, masters degree in economics
Fears: Arachnophobia, fear of drowning
Strengths: Mikael is a decent long distance runner and has some limited experience in boxing.
Weaknesses: Swimming, using fire arms
Bio: Mikael was born in the ?ródmie?cie district of Warsaw to a middle class Ukrainian family. He was brought up a Catholic but was outcast from his congregation at the age of 16 when they discovered he was in a relationship with another boy. This situation was worsened by the fact that he attended a catholic school and many of the teachers attended his old church. He suffered abuse from his tutors and classmates, finally coming to a head when a few of his tormenters tried to drown him in the Vistula River, he was saved by a police officer but ever since he has had a great fear of drowning and hence avoids water. He moved at the age of 19 and attended the Warsaw school of economics, where he earned a masters degree in economics. After he graduated he was employed by the local branch of a national bank and began work as an accountant.
Appearance: Mikael is 5 foot 10 inches; he is fairly thin but has slight muscle tone. He has short, smartly cut hair and a neatly trimmed beard. He has lightly tanned skin. His face has a few light scars on it from the beatings he endured. He wears a typical black suit jacket, white shirt and jeans.

Full name: Frederick Norman Folksenstag
Gender: male
Age:40
Married:no
Children: yes
How many: one
Sexual Orientation: heterosexual
Writing hand: right
Occupation: english teacher
Education: master's degree on english literature
Fears: darkness, forgetting
Strengths: prodigious memory, natural agility
Weaknesses: physical weakness, neurotic disposition, lack of charisma and charm
Appearance: tall, sickly, slim and gaunt. He has always had a striking resemblance to nietzsche, or so he is
Bio: Frederick has always been scared. Ever since his dad told him he was weak and sickly, fred has decided to make the most out of his only viable career path: non-manual work. He has, of course, failed at that, and now teaches english at a lower-class high school. However, he somehow always garners the affection of his otherwise-rowdy students, which has earned him the spite of his coleagues. His parents were german immigrants who died shortly after fred married Lisa Keybell, a librarian who promptly left him to elope with a violent car mechanic, taking their baby with her and almost completely breaking what little there was of Frederick's spirit. Frederick was 32 when this happened. Five years later he learned that the mechanic had been arrested for hitting his wife, and that the son had beeen given up for adoption long ago. Frederick has not tried to locate either his ex-wife or his son, for the memory is still much too painful.
His fear of forgetting stems from his strange obsession with memory being his only quality, and his fear of darkness can be traced back to an obscure childhood trauma.
Full Name: Icarn Nual'in
Gender:Male
Age: 17
Married:No
Kids:No
Sexual Orientation:Heterosexual
Writing Hand:Left
Occupation:Apprentice butcher
Education:Gr.9
Fears:Ropes,whips
Strengths:Cutting up meat and using knifes, is a great con man
Weaknesses:Low stamina and endurance, addicted to escaping reality (drugs), occasionaly has flashbacks
Bio: Icarn was born in Borrby, which is in the Vormsi Parish of Estonia. He led a normal life up until the 6th grade. At age 13 outlaws came through his rural village and killed his entire village (of about 200 people). They whipped him visciously and forced him to watch his parents to be hanged. The outlaws let him go and he ran for days until he came to the nearby farming community of Diby. They took him in and the local butcher took him under his wing. Icarn attended school through the 9th grade, all the while living with the horrrible images burned into his mind. During finals one of his fellow students came up to him and offered him "free love", a type of drug. Icarn took it and discovered how blissflul an escape it offered. From that day on he devoted all his energy to either learning to butcher things (which was cathartic) and escaping reality. To the latter end he learned to use all his charm and guile to get money out of people and travlers.
Appearance:Icarn is the typical Slavic person. Long fair hair and blue eyes and a slightly above average height. under his eyes are bags from his restless nights and drug abuse. Drugs also cause him to be thin and scrawny and have taken their toll on his body's systems.
Other Notes:icarn is strong however from all the cutting and hauling of meats, He had no drugs during his captivity. He got ahold of some in his new town after his 9th grade finals. He isnt physically addicted to drugs just the feeling of his feelings going away. He could go "cold turkey" with no adverse physical affects but after a long time he might start to go crazy or have flashbacks more often. So hes mediumly addicted

Edumacation: College sopohmore
Fears: very small spaces, guns
Strengths: Capoeria, swimming, computers
Weaknesses: Stubborn, too smart for his own good

Bio: When CJ was in middle school, he was an extremely unpopular boy. Because of his small stature, CJ was consistently teased. One day some bullies kidnapped him on his way home and locked him in an old refridgerator. The bullies left CJ in their while he screamed out in terror. It wasnt until later that day that someone finally heard him and let him free. Then when he was a sophomore in high school, there was a shooting in his school. The shooter was about to make CJ another one of his victims until a police officer arrived at the last minute and saved him. Ever since, CJ had been afraid of small spaces and death itself.

Full Name: Thomas Crabbe ("Old Man Crabbe to ma friends!")
Gender: Male
Age: 65 "surprised? Don't look a day over 20 do I?")
Married: Divorced
Kids: Probably not...
If Yes, how Many:
Sexual Orientation: "Straight as a Roman Road"
Writing Hand: Funnily enough...both.
Occupation: ex-military, currently a homeless vagrant.
Education: GCSE (that's the tests we take at 16 in England before we leave school)
Fears: Becoming a useless old man who can't control his body, but can still think coherently. Also fears people finding out about the "unspeakable acts" he committed during his times in Iraq and Afghanistan
Strengths: Taking charge of groups in difficult situations because of his strong physical presence. Can keep a cool head under intense pressure. Proficient handler of a wide range of firearms as well as a decent knowledge of the workings of them.
Weaknesses: "Ma eyesight's goin'..." Also, tends to really dislike people, especially when they won't do what he wants them to, because of this he finds it difficult to make any lasting friendships. Almost always believes he is right in any situation, even when all facts point the other way.

Bio: Thomas Crabbe, a loud and "manly" Scotsman, joined the army at the age of 16 and has done tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. Despite working incredibly hard and climbing the ranks as quick as anyone ever had before, he still managed to find time for love and married a young woman whom he'd had a crush on at school.

During his time on the frontlines, Thomas committed what he calls "unspeakable acts of national pride". As a result of these acts, he was discharged and spent a number of years in prison. The war, prison and a lack of recognition given to soliders planted a seed of disdain inside Thomas; a disdain for people and social interaction. Although his wife had stayed faithful during his time in prison, Thomas' increased seclusion and bad tempers eventually drove her to file for a divorce.

Thrown out, angry and disenchanted from a society which he believes turned it's back on him, a 40 year old Thomas lived on the streets for 25 years, occasionally finding the odd-job to pay for food but ultimately just having to fight or sell himself to survive. Surprisingly, not once did he turn to drugs or alcohol abuse - he likes a few shots of whiskey a day but hates the diea of any sort of drugs.

Appearance: An incredibly stocky and well-built man for his age (and indeed social position), Thomas is 6'5" and weighs 16st 3lb (103kg). He has a rather long, grey unkempt beard with shoulder-length grey hair. There is an interesting scar down the left side of his face, as if someone had once attempted to carve a triangle out of his cheek.
(just in case clothes are important - Thomas wears a very grimy combat jacket with an equally as grimy blue hoody underneath. His black waterproof trousers have a large tear in the right knee, making them not quite as waterproof as they once were.

Other Notes: Thomas Crabbe really really hates the sound of a woman suffering. He's not afraid of it, the shrieking just hurts his ears
Full Name: Richard Garland
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Married: No
Kids: No
If Yes, how Many: N/A
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual.
Writing Hand: Right hand.
Occupation: Un-employed
Education: Secondary School
Fears: Commitment.
Strengths: Confident, independent, multi-lingual (Thai, Russian, French, German, English)
Weaknesses: Rash, easily angered, often too quick to act without thinking things through.
Bio: Since Rich was young, all he has wanted to do was travel. To get the fuck out of rural England and see the world. He failed at school due to a lack of caring more so than a lack of natural ability. The areas he excelled at were the ones that would aid him later in his life plan; to an extent Geography, but for the most part the Languages. At the age of 18, his parents paid for his tickets to France to get him out from under their feet and out of local trouble. To describe him as a problem child would be an understatement. He travelled around Europe a year. Working on popular backpacking routes, he made enough money to get by but eventually had to return home. His parents had money, and disliked him being around, sponging off of them. In some their own kind of pseudo-logical way he was better off messing around in another country where they couldn't embarrass them to their painfully middle-class friends. It was on his return home from his second, more prolonged further afield travelling that he was met by some rather unusual looking fellows in bowler hats...
Appearance: Short and scruffy blonde hair, his skin is tanned from his time in Thailand. 5'11 and slim, some would say he looks under-fed. He is relatively physically fit due to his constant labouring and physical lifestyle on the backpacker trail.
Notes: He has a strong belief system of 'right' and 'wrong', which almost always gets himself into trouble. Despite his rebellion against conservative upbringing he holds some very conservative views. Most note worthy of all is his dislike of homosexuality. HE finds non hetero-sexual relations to be an affront to what he would deem 'natural' and is more than willing to come to blows over such a view.
Full Name: Alison Hatter
Gender: female
Age: 29
Married: No
Kids: No
Sexual Orientation: hetero
Writing Hand: left
Occupation: Sci fi Author
Education: College
Fears: Being alone, drowning
Strengths: strong imagination and understanding of psychology, able to come up with ideas quickly
Weaknesses: manual labor, is very stubborn and hot headed.
Appearance: Overweight and slightly short, and 5'2 and 170 pounds. She has long scraggly brown hair she always keeps tied up in a ponytail, mostly so that she doesn't have to deal with it, and hazel eyes. She prefers to wear comfortable clothes:typically a baggy blue hoodie and black sweatpants, because she spends most of her time cooped up in her house.
Bio: Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal, Alison never had much to worry about. She had loving, if overbearing parents and there was always foos on the table. Maybe a bit too much. She was always rather chunky, and was often teased about it. To compensate, she acted out, falling in with the worng croud and generally doing stupid things.

One day at the beach, when trying to impress her friends, she swam out into the lake, and pretended to drown and get the attention of the lifeguard. During her struggle, she got tangled in seaweed, and actually started to drown. Her friends laughed it up, thinking it was still a joke. The lifeguard still ended up saving her, but it left a very prominent scar.

After the incident, she stayed inside much more often, reading rather than hanging out. She graduated high school with average grades and moved on to college, where she studied literature and discovered her inner talent for sci fi. Her first book was a moderately popular sci fi adventure, entitled The Secret Link. It entailed the story of a young girl as she flew across the galaxy, trying to stop universal implosion. She is currently working on her second novel

It's probably a good idea to just post the sheet whole.
