Roleplay:Reach for the Sky

The is a roleplay made by Monk. It is currently free-join, but has a limited amount of time to grab slots.

Intro
It starts out your average day. People going to work, kids going to school, business as usual. Very soon though, a select few people would be chosen to complete a difficult and dangerous task and risk their own lives in the process. Who are they? Just looking at most of them, they seem like average people with average lives. But buried in them is a strong will ready for an adventure they will never forget.

A strange phenomenon takes place the next day as a massive thunderstorm sweeps over the area. In a blinding flash of lightning, all the chosen people vanish from their homes without a trace. Loved ones don't know what happened, either. Only that they were gone. The news broadcasts the strange disappearings, some think it's aliens, others; the government, others still; assassins. Nobody knows what happened to the group on that fateful day.

The "Chosen", as they would soon be called, would wake up in a large cabin. Where they are? That will be discovered. What is their mission? To find out who did this and why.

The basic rules of roleplaying here:

 * Cursing must be censored or avoided.
 * Nothing sexual or pornographic.
 * Be respectful of other users.
 * No G-Modding, Powerplaying, Metagaming, etc.
 * This will be done in paragraph style.

This RP's Specific Rules:

 * Only join if you think you can stay active in the roleplay.
 * No flying away from the area. (Character will probably end up dead or with broken wings if they try.)
 * No fighting amongst the "Chosen". They can argue and bicker, but no actual fights. (Don't kill someone over an item/position you want.)
 * Fight only when there is a clear indication a fight is needed. (Not every sign of opposition is a fight trigger.)
 * Your characters will only have the weapons they normally carry. (If they don't normally carry a sniper rifle everywhere, don't make them have it with.)
 * Fighting IS optional. Stronger enemies like "bosses" can be left to others to deal with, but smaller and more numerous weaker ones are not much of a challange to anyone.
 * Species Rule. Explained below.
 * Stay active. With the exception of telling me you won't be able to edit beforehand, after a week of inactivity, your characters will most likely be left behind or killed off.

Important Character Notice
Special roster of characters. You are not allowed to have multiple characters of the same species. Something like an ocelot and a margay are fine, but do not have two hedgehogs. The only exception is if that character already has a partner of the same species that would always be with him/her. This works on a first come, first serve basis. First person to enter a cat get to keep that slot. Also, if your character has a last name, say the species next to their roster to say what species is taken.

Regarding hybrids, they count as one of their two species. If you have say a hedgewolf and a hedgehog in the list, the hedgewolf would take the "wolf" species, while the hedgehog takes its respective species. There is to be no duplication of hybrids either. You can't have two hedgewolves and call one a wolf, the other a hedgehog. Hybrids with more than two parts count as one of their parts, usually the biggest part.

Roleplay, Chapter one: The cabin in the?
A loud crash, a bright light. A loud crash, a bright light. A loud crash, a bright light. Those were the events going on outside of the group log cabin. A turqoise fish sat up in his bunk and looked at his surroundings. He was on the top Bunk of one of the dozen bunkbeds. "Where am I...?" He quietly asked himself, slipping down, off the bunk to the ground below, "And who are all these people?" He asked again, walking on the wood tile floors, heading towrds the door when another crash and flash of light erupted outside, causing him to jump. He walked to the large front doors and pushed them open. He stepped outside and sat on the steps of the cabin, looking around at the thick fog that enveloped everything.

" I, myself do not know , But its probably something thats probably bad for our health " Said a black cat wearing a well cleaned white T-shirt and well cleaned Trouser. He stared into the fog with his grey eyes slowly hints sleepiness every now and then. " Very freaky " he said as he looked behind to see if anyone else had woken up.

A grey hawk walk woke up inside the cabin. He looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings. He then got out of his bottom bunk and looked around. There were a dozen bunkbeds. Damn, he thought. Where the heck am I?

A red porcupine woke up and yawned, then he quickly saw his surroundings. "What the hell...," he asks himself. He jumps down from his top bunk and looks around. "Where in Gaia's name am I?," He says as he tries to see if other people are around.

An arctic wolf in a red coat sat up, grunting and yawning as he awakened. "Blargh... what happened last night?" he inquired, to the air. The only thing he remembered was that he was relaxing in his apartment when lightning crashed above his roof, then... nothing. Crap. Now was not a good time to have memory loss...

As soon as she opened her eyes, the masked fox knew that something was wrong. She sat up on the top bunk of the bed and looked around the room. "I don't remember falling asleep," she said to herself. She then jumped down from the top bunk, landing feet first. This was when she noticed that her bow was missing. "Where did my bow go...?" She still had her dagger and was already prepared to use it if something happened. Then she thought to herself, Who are all of these people?

A spotted pale tan clouded leopard was asleep in the bottom bunk of one of the beds. The noises around him caused him to stir, but he didn't seem to wake. "Lance, stop taking all my gum..." He murmured rather loudly to himself as he slept.

The grey hawk looks around at all of the people starting to wake up. "Does anyone know where th heck we are?" He then notices a lightness on his back. Ah darn my sword....

In another bunk, a small blue and black fox/raccoon hybrid was sleeping soundly under the blankets, even with the thunder going on outside. However, the chattering of other people around him was starting to make him stir. Still asleep, he tried to block it out with a pillow. Next to him, a large armored diving suit with strange markings on parts of its armor, possibly the marks of some ancient civilization, and a drill on its right arm was sitting against the bunk. The holes in the helment glowed dimly with a very faint light. Whatever it was, it was barely concious, but it was big and possibly dangerous.

On one of the numerous bunks was an individual of red and blue shaggy fur. For those who were familiar with Fotiagos Imperium, they would find it odd for him to be still for such a long time. Of course those he knew for prolonged amounts of time typically did not live for long. He wore all black clothing including a hooded trench coat, fingerless gloves and pants as well as red and blue shoes. The sound of the roaring thunder instantly snapped him awake and the wolverine's midnight black eyes darted open. He sharply sat upright, instinctively reaching a hand behind his shoulder to grab one of the handles of his twins blades.

"Damn..." he cursed under his breath. He took a look around and noticed there were others beside him who seemed just as confused. If one wanted him dead like he assumed, he wouldn't even be awake right now, let alone walking about freely. The purple soles of his shoes tapped silently on the ground as he got to his feet. Deciding not to interact with the others, the wolverine skulked about in search for a way out.

On the floor next to the bunks was a blue kirby with orange feet and a bunny hat on. He seems to be in a heavy sleep with allthe drool coming out of his mouth and the half eaten sandwich in his hand. "Mmmm..Yes, I would like another one of your donuts, Mr.Clown.." He mumbled. On a top bunk a bunnycat (mostly cat) rolls out of the bed "OWW THAT HURT!!!!!!!"cries the cat.

In another bunk, a female mobian cat/fox like creature with two tails and dark blue hair covering her right eye rises from the bed and leaps onto the floor. Her face apears to show no emotion as she looks around at the others in the cabin. She then pulls out what appears to be a notebook and starts writing. "I seem to have awaken in a mysterious facility, there appears to be no signs of a witch, however several others have also awaken here. So far, nothing but a group of lesser and infirior minds, it would be in their best intrest not to stand in my way, as I will waste no time killing them if they do." She stops writing and puts away her notebook.

A black and grey echidna sat on the ground in a meditative state. "..."

The bunat drinks some cold water and tuens into a girl "shoot..."

Nearby, an odd man of no exact species awakens, and slowly gets out of bed. In one had, he holds a wallet, which he pulls a card out of, to where the card converted into a tape recorder. He presses the "record" button. "Recording Q 01: Woke up with a headache, in a strange cabin full of random people. Proceeding with caution," he says. The recorder turns back into a card, which the man places back in the wallet.

A slightly hungover black bat with green hair unintentionally rolled off of his bed and awoke startled "What in the world?" he exclaimed as two (Non anthropomorphic) cats at the foot of his bed got up and trotted over to his side.

Apon hearing all of the commotion, a male mobian sat up in a lower bunk, stretching while doing so. The grison winced as he tried to get out, taking note of the dizziness in his head. Looking around, he realizes that the others who were awake was just as confused as him, which strangely, made him even more puzzled. A feeling of nervousness washes over him and frantically he searches for something, only to discover that it wasn't there. Disappointed, he sits back on his bunk and looks at everyone else. In response to the hawk's question, he shakes his head no.

There was one Mobian who was not yet awake... a white-furred hedgehog had her arm draped over her face, her brown hair hiding her rather short quills. She was barefoot, and her dress had almost a flower-like appearance. Other than that, she seemed somewhat plain.

Siconia(girl form name) is wondering where she is and why she is here

The echidna opens his eyes and looks around. "So a good amount of you woke up."

Blitz turned to the echidna. "You got any idear where we are, mate?"

Zak wakes up and walks towards the group with the sandwich in hand. "Where ever we are, I just wanna say no one try to do something stupid."

"Note taken. and no I don't know, I woke up and sat here waiting for you to come." The echidna shrugged.

A caracal clad in scaled light blue armor walked through the fog back to the cabin. In his hand he held a pair of somewhat tall warlances, and he had a sharp-looking shield on one arm. Looking through the purple lenses of his pointed helmet he looked at the people on the front steps. "Your weapons are out about a hundred feet that way," He says, pointing at the fog, "Lying on the ground. I have no clue as to who owns what, though." He said, walking back into the cabin with the spears on his shoulder.

Zak looks at all the people in the cabin for his guess was that he was the only kid here." Anyone wann tell us where we are?", he said s he took a bite out of his sandwich.

The grison looks at Zak. "I think we're all curious to know..." he said, his voice gruff. "I suppose we might as well introduce ourselves for the time being. My name is Axton, I come from Acorsain." he glaces at everyone else, expecting a response.

"I'm Zak, a rabbit (Actually a kirby but they can't know that), and apparently the only kid here" Zak said.

"My name's Blitz," the wolf replied, sitting up and stretching his arms.

The odd man walked towards them. "Jared is my name," he says, "And I would prefer if nobody were to call me anything else."

"Someone tell me if there are any kids here because I can't stand being the only one. If you guys need me, I'll go look for the kitchen" Zak says as he walks around.

The hedgehog finally woke up, stretching her arms and legs. Then she noticed what was off. "Wait a minute... this isn't my bed..." she said, looking down at it. When she looked up, she noticed everyone in the room. She jumped a little, scooting away.

the buncat introduces herself"im siconia."

Upon his sneaking about, Fotiagos overheard something about weapons being stashed a fair distance from the cabin he was in at the moment. He was peeking around a corner at this moment and saw what direction the armored feline pointed to. This could potentially mean Ignis and Glacies were recoverable and crucial to obtain should the Thermomancer want to escape with his life. Perhaps his scabbard as well as that was too absent. Not really caring if he was seen but still remaining vigilant and keeping his plethora of enhanced senses open, Fotiagos made his way out of the nearby door and headed in the direction in which was pointed.

"Damien" The bat grumbled as he put on his jacket (Which was on his bed.), fumbling.

The fish got up and walked towards the location at the same time as Fotiagos. Not really noticing him, he walked over and grabbed a basic spear with an orange metal for its head. Placing it on his shoulder, he started walking back to the cabin.

Axton nods in return towards those who responded to him. He then gets back up on his feet and makes his way out of the cabin. Curiously he looks around, suspicious of the fog, and notices the fish with the spear. "Do you mind telling me where you got that?"

The cat/fox like girl ignored the rest of the group, she then stepped outside and noticed the fog.

"What in the hell?" She then walks out into the fog.

Blitz got off his seat, following the girl. He hoped that his sword and guns were still out there. Hopefully a hobo didn't nick'em, he thought.

The Black cat turned his head as the cat/fox girl came out. " My name is Ink ". He has overheard everything ther others said and thus knew some of their names. He freezes as the girl starts to walk into the fog. wearing a expression of nervousness ink followed her close behind " Do you think this is safe ? " he asked as he stepped into the fog

The cat/fox like girl simply ignored the black cat, and then thought to herself.

"Why am I surrounded by such infirior minds?........."

Damien owned no weapons other than a pistol for mercy killing, which he had left at home. So he merely lay on the bed he had awoken on with his two cats which simply mewed happily.

It didn't take long for Fotiagos to find the object he was searching for and it brought him much satisfaction. He reached down to grab the purple "X" shaped scabbard that still had the twin blades sheathed within them. The wolverine unsheathed them for inspection, finding them undamaged and just how he last saw them. Placing them back in the scabbard, he fastened the straps across his body and buckled them in place. He thought for a moment. This fog was too dense to travel and it'd be suicide to proceed further. The ones in the cabin appeared to be of no threat. Regardless, he'd keep to himself until the chance of a safe escape revealed itself. As such, he made his way back to the cabin with a light jog and swiftly made his way back inside.

"Ah, there they are!" Blitz said, finding his pistols, shotgun, and sword lying against a rotted tree. He eagerly picked them up and put them in their respective sheathes, grinning as he felt ready to take on anything. Though, he caught himself and calmed down, remembering how the fog seemed rather dense and difficult to see through.

Having silently followed them, Jared goes to retrieve a large axe with various splotches of random colors on it, a sabre with a strange streak of red across the blade, and an old-style umbrella with various pockets stiched into it. From one of the pockets, he pulls another card, this time turning into a white scarf, which he then puts on. "Everything I may need has been found. Everyone else as lucky?" Jared asks.

"Yep," Blitz replied, surprised by Jared. "Thank gawd nobody stole my stuff..."

By this time, all the commotion woke up the foxcoon that had been asleep. He sat upright, still half asleep and looked around. As soon as he noticed all the strange people in the room, and noticed that the room itself was a different location from where he had went to sleep, he immediately kicked the covers off of himself and backed himself against the nearest wall, letting out a shout of surprise. With the covers off, his outfit was now visible. His outfit consisted of a sharktooth necklace, a tan vest with a white t-shirt underneath, tan bermuda shorts, white socks, and tanish sneakers that were moderately worn out.

The sudden shout from the foxcoon immediately woke the behemoth that was unconcious next to the bunk that the young foxcoon was in. He rose quickly and looked around. The light from within his helmet immediately went from yellow to red and he stood infront of the youn foxcoon with his back to him. He then reved up his drill, warning everyone who was in the room not to dare take a step towards the boy.

Sico:" runs out to get to swords and two sword carriers and put them on her back and runs back to the cabin"

The shout was loud enough to suddenly wake the clouded leopard, and he sat up in a jolt. "I didn't shoot her I swear!" He exclaimed as the last thing he was going to mumble from his dream. The man rubbed his eyes and looked around the room. "Wait, this isn't my apartment..."

The grey hawk from before looked under his bed to see if he could find his stuff. To his surprise, he found his Spellbook,  his sword and two of his Arks. He puts his Arks on his wrist and sheaths his sword on his back. "At least this place isn't a complete prison.." he mutturred under his breath. He knew if it was then all of their weapons would've been lost.

"It may not be a prison but, how did we all get here?" the masked fox asked, still completely confused.

Siconia feels weird "this is really weird!"

"From what I can gather, this is some once-forested area. The fog is not normal though. Might be a bog, so be careful. I also suggest we don't fight amongst ourselves until we actually know where this is." The armored caracal said, looking at the diving suit, "That goes for you, too."

El-Dor looked at the person talking to him and replied, "This is my spear. I've had it for quite some time."

Axton shrugs and follows the others towards the weapon filled area. Wondering why they were all left out in the open--and why no one took them, he grabs a white staff, relieved to find what he was looking for. He then turns back around and heads for the cabin.

"Bog, huh. Odd," Blitz remarked. Why would they be in a foggy bog, of all places? There were more questions than answers, and he didn't like it at all. He sighed as he went back towards the cabin.

The hedgehog finally composed herself, slowly exiting the bed and walking towards the others...

Siconia transforms back into a boy

"Finally."says sico

The grey hawk sits on his bed and looks around at all of the other people who are here. "Well, we may as well get to know eachother, I'm Nate"

Damien sat up and looked at eveyone and their weapons. "Damn, why do so many people carry weapons? I mean seriously,almost everyone in the damn world is packing heat, it's ridiculous!"

"Whenever someone is a carrying a weapon, be it a blade, a gun or something else, there's always a reason to it," the masked fox said to Damien. She then turned to look at Nate, "I'm Astrid. It's good to finally meet someone friendly for a change."
