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.
 * 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.

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.

One of the bunks contained a grey-furred arctic wolf in a red coat and black clothing. He was currently asleep... in spite of the fact there were loud noises outside. Apparently he was a heavy sleeper. Grunting, he rolled onto his side, a slight drip of drool falling onto the sheets beneath him.

Nearby, a violet-skinned man of no known species awakens, still groggy from his sleep. He groans. "Uch, what happened?" He asks himself, rubbing his head while sliding out of his bunk, eyes still closed.
