Uncharted *Sign ups!*

[Crystal Tears]

UNCHARTED

Legend tells of a lost island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. This place is rumoured to hold the riches of kings. Fortune hunters and treasure seekers have often sought this isle for centuries.

Those that return from their adventures, say that there is no island. Just endless water – rough or calm, it doesn’t matter. Time and time again, people have returned claiming the fabled ‘Treasure Island’ doesn’t exist. It’s an elaborate hoax and myth.

But a few of those that venture out into the waters disappear. No debris is found of their ships, no rafts… not even modern day technology can locate a couple of recent adventurers.

Which makes people wonder… where on earth did they go?

The flight from Los Angeles to Sydney is a long one; it crosses the ever expansive blue ocean. Some flights suffer delays, others suffer cancellations.

Yours is about to suffer something far greater.

A sudden storm slams your flight - lightning flashes and thunder booms as the wind, hail and rain play havoc with the machinery. People scream as the aircraft shudders and falls. It plummets out of the sky; the pilots barely gaining control of the vessel in time to bring the nose up.

You can hear trees snapping as the smell of fumes hit your nostrils and then everything goes black.

And as what remains of the passengers and crew lay motionless, all knocked unconscious by the crash… a shadow crosses the wreckage, and something deep within the forest stirs.




- Instead of large posts, this RPG is going to utilize a different sort of RPing. Posts can be and will be, shorter. There will be no controlling another person’s character at all. This is attempting to spur on activity and interaction. Hopefully it works, if not… well damn. xD

- Occasionally you may get PMs saying your character can find something. It may be an item, clue about the island, or something else! :3

- Sometimes I’ll send a PM with challenges – such as injury, opponent, sickness, etc. It’s up to you whether you want to do the challenge… but they just might have a reward.

- Some challenges may require you travelling back to certain locations.

Name: Helena ‘Milly’ McKay
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Personality: Kind, good sense of humour (from puns to dirty, she finds almost anything funny), an oddball who often feels awkward in large groups of people. She’s shy towards people who doesn’t know, is slow to trust but generally a nice individual. When she’s annoyed (and provided she’s comfortable with you) she gets sarcastic. She withdraws in the face of conflict, unwilling and/or unable to deal with it. She also does not like being in the spotlight.
Not intentionally a loner, Milly is one who is comfortable reading a book or playing a video game while others converse – but doesn’t like it when the house is actually empty, or she’s alone.
Appearance: Milly has long brown hair that is mostly tied up in a ponytail, though her long bangs that frame her face and some strands towards the front of her head are left to hang free. Her eyes are hazel, and are brown for the most part but turn green when she has strong emotions. She’s in relatively healthy shape, using long walks, hikes and jogging as an excuse to leave her home when she was younger until the exercise became habit. Usually Milly is wearing some sort of spaghetti strap shirt, and either jeans or cargo pants. If she’s chilly, some sort of zip-up hoodie suffices as a cover.
Carry-on Bag: Two novels, her iPhone and headphones (they made it! Yay!), a small sketchbook that’s seen better days, a bottle of water (unopened), two granola bars, her black hoodie and a pencil case.
Relationship(s): Best friends with Erin (Becki's char).
History: Milly grew up in an abusive household, both physical and mental. She escaped when she was sixteen, choosing to run from home and fled to her friend Erin’s house. No one, not even Erin knows the full story of what happened to the woman, only that she appeared at the front door one night – bloody and beaten and crying. Due to the corruption in the social services, Milly almost had to return home – but won out in the end. She’s eternally grateful to Erin and her family, and has lived with them since.
Due to her history, Milly doesn’t handle one on one confrontation well, and worse if it’s a group targeting her. She withdraws, not talking and not dealing with the issue. Often she’ll run to find Erin – if she’s fighting with Erin, it’s one of the rare times she’ll stand up for herself.
Other: Milly is her middle name and she’ll introduce herself as such. She’s rarely ever called Helena, and if she is – it’s because it’s a very serious matter or she’s in a lot of trouble… or both.
