    Default Prowlers (signups)

    Ok. Lets see if i can get more involved here.
    As a warning if this gets up and running i will be away in a week or so but it wont be long and i want to keep this running through that. This is an RPG i tried a while ago but hadnt really thought through. Lets see what happens huh.

    Plot
    -----

    Up this close, the liquid was a deep crimson. Deputy Bobby Sharpe reached out to dip a finger into it. He was here, at the latest murder scene on Gaffeys hill at 1am. The sherriff had told him to forget about it for now and go home but Bobby was young and ambitious. Hoping to find more clues and solve the case alone he had come up here alone right after his shift had ended.

    He had found a small patch of what appeared to be blood near the edge of the clearing where the body of a man had been found earlier today. Small pellets, the type found in a Shotgun shell were also found and from the state of the body it had been decided a bear had got him. A common enough occurence in a mountain town like this but there had been so many similar deaths lately, it was unlikely a bear would or even could kill so many without one survivor.

    He raised his finger to his nose and inhaled, hoping it would prove to be something else, but the copper scent confirmed it. Blood.
    "I wonder, if those stories were true....It cant be true", he muttered to himself
    "Theyre more true than you think" growled a voice behind him and he froze. Something shifted in the darkness behind him. Twigs Snapped.
    "You shouldnt have come up here again Bobby" the deep voice growled. "Should've just left it alone."
    The voice sent a shiver up his spine and everything inside him seemed to let go. The fear came up in him full force, and he was not even breathing as he turned around. Bobby did not dare to raise his flashlight as what he could already see in the moonlight terrified him to the bone.
    Rows of razor sharp teeth, and eyes that seemed to glow in the starlight. The things muscles rippled under its fur and it seemed to be almost mocking him.
    "You could try running you know" the beast said almost kindly.

    As if a switch had been thrown, Bobby came alive. He Spun around, dropping his flashlight and sprinted towards his car. His breathing sounded impossibly loud in his ears. He reached for the weapon at his belt, unsnapped the gun, and drew it from its holster. He felt the things hot breath on his neck, heard it loping after him.
    Bobby turned, raised his gun and fired once as he fell.
    Before he knew it the Monster was on top of him, cracking his ribs with its weight and in that instant he knew the stories were true....The prowlers were real. "Sorry Kid!" the voice growled before it struck.

    The papers had a headline story the next morning. A Promising young deputy had been found up on Gaffeys hill by a local man walking his dog. He had been investigating a crime scene during the night and was found close to the site in a pool of blood. His throat had been torn out and his chest ripped open, a number of internal organs were missing.
    Concern was growing over the towns Bear Problem.

    ------------------------------------------------

    Welcome to Willowvale , a small mountain town in Vermont. Your average quiet town but this one has a problem. For years savage murders had been reported in the area. Most had been put down to animals, common in this area but lately theyve been coming closer. Some right in the middle of town but the local Sherrif still sticks to his Animal claim. He has to, without real facts he knows just as much as the rest of the town and a Sherrif is supposed to be respected, without respect there is no law.
    There have always been stories of course. About monstrous creatures that hunted the woods. Prowlers they had been called but they were just stories, told by mothers to scare their kids into behaving...at least thats what Willowvale thinks.

    ------------------------------------------------

    Ok this is gonna be a survival RPG. Most of the chars are gonna be Kids, back home from College for the summer and maybe a few townsfolk. I know details are a little thin right now but more will be revealed as the plot goes on.

    P.S I dont want anyone signing up with lots of guns just cos they know its a survival rpg. Its a mountain town so maybe people would own a Shotgun or a knife or two stashed at home but i dont want any ex marines with AK-47's, Uzi's and Rocket Launchers. If it gets over the top (as it did last time) then ill ban weapons in starting signups altogether.

    Sounds cool, I'll give it a shot...

    Name: Shawn Milesburn
    Age: 22
    Gender: Male
    Looks: Shawn is a fairly attractive male, standing at 5' 10", with brown hair and soft, blue eyes. There is a scar, however, running from the tip of his chin down past the neckline of his shirt. His skin is rough, being an outdoor person, which only brings out his blue eyes even more than usual. For this RP, he is wearing black combat boots, camoflauge pants, a white t-shirt, and his Boy Scout Uniform on top (shirt, cap, and belt).
    Background: He has been a part of Boy Scouts his whole life. Since attaining Eagle Scout at the age of 18, Shawn has increased his potential, gaining all Merit Badges a scout could recieve. He has training in the wild, though he doesn't like raccoons at all: They were the ones that gave him that scar. Whether or not his skills will match up against a talking, murdering group of bears...we shall find out...
    Personailty: Sort of loud, likes to laugh a lot. Just like anyone else, can be serious when he needs to be, especially when he's using his skills to save a life. He hasn't been in many sports, however his dealings with the Boy Scouts has caused him to develop a very outgoing nature and friendliness while maintaining a very jock-like body.
    Other: He has all the required merit badges! This must mean he has some skills in martial arts, mountain climbing, acting, wilderness survival, aerospace engineering...though how this will help him against a big-bad talking bear...

    He also carries with him two "weapons": A Boy-Scout knife, which comes with a basic set of utilities needed, and a hunting knife. The hunting knife is 4 inches long, with serrated edging along the back of the blade. The blade itself is sheathed in leather, and the sheath is tied to his belt. On the sheath is a small holder for a sharpener-block. The handle of the knife is basic, with a compass at the very end of the handle. The compass, and a piece of the handle with it, can be screwed off, and reveals the inside of the handle, which is hiding a group of matches and a very tiny flashlight, as well as some flash paper, for igniting quick flames in the air for signalling.

    I do hope this isn't "over the edge" for weapons! Let me know if I should dumb the knife down, though I should tell you that I actually own this item, and it isn't overpowered at all! ^-^

    *mental note* Your own sign up might be a good idea.

    Name: Gavin Wynder (HES BACK!)
    Age: 22
    Gender: Male
    Looks: Stands about 6ft 3 with short brown hair and blue eyes. Solid build though he doesnt look particularly muscular while in his casual attire which is usually a pair of blue jeans, white trainers and either a Sports shirt/jersey or black t-shirt.
    Background: Born in Willowvale, he lost his parents at an early age and raised by a local family. When he was 13 he moved to live with relatives. Was always told his parents had been killed in a bear attack years ago and felt he needed to come investigate when he heard of these similar attacks.
    Personailty: Seems overly serious. Hard for strangers to joke with as he is somewhat paranoid. Takes jokes the wrong way sometimes, as if they are personal digs at him. Once he makes a friend though he is very loyal and does feel very protective over people he feels are vulnerable.
    Other: Became pretty well known in High school as a football player, a few people back in town have heard of him and will remember him from his younger days. Took more to the English Rugby but still made a formiddable reputation as a tough tackler in either sport. Is therefore pretty athletic.

    Name: Charlie Bosun
    Age: 27
    Gender: male
    Looks: 6'2", average build, dark brown eyes, short and messy sandy brown hair, wearing brown hiking boots, black pants, a black t-shirt, and a grey camo hunting vest. He has a very confident but cautious air about the way he carries himself.
    Background: Charlie grew up in upstate NY. His father started taking him hunting when he was eleven. He lived a fairly normal and uneventful life up until now. He played sports in high school, was a pretty good running back, but didn't continue with sports in college. He tried studying to be a wildlife expert to join the department of fish and game as he had developed a great love of the outdoors but ultimately he bent to pressure from his parents to pursue something more financially rewarding. He ended up getting a bachelor's degree in environmental law and got a consultant job for a large land development company. He dutifully worked hard all week long but when the weekend came he went hunting with his friends. About three weeks ago they were all supposed to take a trip to Vermont for a hunting trip they'd been planning for months. At the last minute Charlie had to bow out due to an emergence at work. His two friends went without him and they never came back. After they were overdue by two weeks and the police still had no idea where they might be Charlie decided to go up to Vermont to try and find them himself.
    Personailty: He's a fairly decent guy but it takes time for him to trust people. He is often sarcastic and critical towards people he doesn't know. He has a charming wit that is not always as witty as he thinks it is. At the moment, he is very suspicious of everyone as the town of Willowvale is near where his friends supposedly went hunting and he doesn't know what or who happened to them. He believes they are either lost and the local sheriff failed to organize a reasonable search or that someone in Willowvale has done something to them. In either case, he feels somewhat hostile towards the locals at the onset. People have to work to earn his trust.
    Other: On his person he is carrying a few extra shells in his vest pockets and a bowie hunting knife at his waist. In his truck he has his loaded hunting rifle with a single box of extra shells (12 shell box). Before thinking he's overarmed for survival, remember that the rifle is in his truck and not on his person when he is in town. He'd only take the rifle from his truck if he was in the woods.

    (This is UC just making a comment. I have agreed this with JT as even though hes armed its easy to seperate from his gun. Noone else should signup with firearms)

    Background: As a bar maid for the local bar, she has worked there ever since graduating from high school. Once deemed the most popular and snobby cheerleader in school, she now is a lowlife, living off of tips from sleezy men.
    Personailty: She is very snobby and unfriendly. Turns up her nose to anyone that tries to talk to her. Overly dry and witty.

    Name: Alaina
    Age: 19
    Gender: Female
    Looks: Dark red hair and dark blue eyes, wears her hair in a ponytail half the time, has a decent fashion sense and likes the hhirts that cling to her body but doesn't give away much skin, loves jeans and often wears boots.
    Background: With no family to go home to for break, Alaina decided to hit the road. She soon came upon a quiet mountian town and decided to relax and take a load off. She is situated at a cabin inn near a target range.
    Personailty: Spirited and outgoing, she had a lot of logic, but can sometimes lack common sense. She has always loved the sport of archery and her hands and wrists are covered in scars from numerous archery incidents. She shines under pressure, and hates hysteria with a passion. She can have the temper of a red-head, but also knows when to back down from a fight. She'll try to play the leader sometimes when she is completely cluless and has gotten herlsef into trouble often in the past. She can be shy and awkward towards strangers, not really the traveling type normally, but she warms up swiftly to open, friendly people.
    Other: Uh, she has a bow and arrows? >.>; and I wanted to play in Realtime too.

    Is that good?

    Name: Kristen Johnson
    Age: 23
    Gender: Female
    Looks: Kristen is tall with dark, sun tanned skin. She is a muscular girl, with long dark brown hair and big dark eyes. Her hair is mostly in a ponytail. She has a pretty face and shapely figure, albeit a slight muscular figure, and she wears mostly white wife-beaters and tight jeans with boots.
    Background: Kristen was born and raised in Willowvale. She is the only daughter of a large six child family; her parents owned a farm not to far from town. She went to the local highscool, where she won the girls' state shotput and discuss throwing championsips. She played every sort girls were allowed to play, and even managed to play for the football team in her senior year. When she graduated, she went away to school on a track scholarship. She quit college after a year and came back home to work with her father on the farm. All of her brothers have moved away from Willovale into surrounding towns.
    Personality: Kristen is a very nice and considerate girl, but she is tough and headstrong as well. She isn't prissy or girly at all, and if provoked, she will fight. She's particularly laid-back and easy going, and hardly ever loses her cool too much.
    Other: She has a killer right hook, and carries a bowie knife in her steel-toed boot.
    Do or do not. There is no try.

    I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to withdraw my form from this RP. I had plenty of free time to do this before, but now I have a lot of writing to do, and remaking a fanfiction, so I won't have any time at all. Again, I appologize. Maybe if I have freetime I'll join in, maybe not. *bows and backs out slowly*
