Through a smokey haze that filled his crystal ball, an old wizard watched as the respected warrior dressed in tattered animal skins fell. As the image dissapated, he sniffed and pulled a leatherbound journal from his desk and quickly scribbled the date on the warrior's dossier.


" Two weeks, what a shame, "
he muttered to himself, marking the page with a large red
X
. " He came so highly recommended. "

Flipping the pages, he shook his head and sighed. Dead. Dead. Dead. No, none of these had been right.


" Is there no one in this wretched world worth th-... "

His voice trailed off as he reached the section of his journal labeled
"Possibles"
. He read and reread the dossier before him, a hopeful smile spreading across his face.


" You're perfect! "

About
Survive!


Survive!
is a game with a single, obvious purpose - to survive. The existance of the game is not public knowledge due to the fact that there has yet to be a survivor. But there's a first time for everything, no? So believes The Wizard , creator of the game and currently the only spectator.

Characters are chosen by dossiers created by The Wizard based on knowledge he and his minions have gathered from public knowledge. They are taken in their sleep and placed in a randomly selected magical arena with absolutely nothing but a set of thread-bare clothes. No equipment, no food, nothing. They must then survive and find the exit - which could take days, weeks, or even months. The sooner they escape, the better, though, because they are not alone in the arena. Enemies of all kinds can be found lying in wait throughout the arena.

Characters who manage to survive and escape the arena will be greatly rewarded, but make no mistake. This is not a safe game. Characters will be hurt, can be maimed, and very possibly might even die.

Who Can Play?

Anyone can play the game
Survive!
If you have an interest in placing your character into a dangerous survival situation to see just how well they manage, feel free to sign up. Characters can play individually or in groups of 2-3.
Additionally, players are more than welcome to play multiple games. There is more than one arena, in which players will be placed randomly, so no experience will be exactly the same as another. Feel free to join any number of games!

Currently there is only one GM (me, Stelly Rose), however, if you are more interested in running a game than participating in it, feel free to send me a message In Game and we'll see what we can set up.

Dossie r

In his time seeking out various players for this game of survival, The Wizard has built up an impressive database of personalities in Gielinor and stored them away in a journal for safekeeping. Dossiers need only be filled out with as much information as the Wizard would feasibly be able to gather from public knowledge.

Name:
Age:
Race:
Gender:
Physical Appearance:
Personality:

Brief History:

Solo/Group Game?: (Will your character be alone, or in a group? If you choose to be in a group, please include the names of other group members, or "Random" to be placed in a random group.)

Please feel free to include a picture of your character, if you would like.

Important Notes

1. It has been mentioned before in this thread, but to ensure that there is no confusion: Character Death is entirely possible in this game.
Characters will be forced to rely on instinct to survive, to find food and build shelter and stave off enemies with makeshift and hand-crafted tools. They will face challenges and they may not overcome all of them.
On the Out of Character hand, this game is meant to be a fun challenge. It is just as possible for Characters to be victorious. However, if you cannot accept the chance that your character may die, this is not the game for you.

2. Characters who share a game are not expected to fight or kill one another. This is not The Hunger Games . Work together, by all means. However, it is possible for a character to decide the others are his enemies. Expect anything.

3. Games are meant to last more than one session. Be aware of this when entering a character into the game. If you really need to play your character outside of the game, make use of Time Scaling.

4. There is no rule post on this thread. That is because players are trusted to use common sense when participating in Survive! If there is a real problem, I reserve the right to remove you from the game.
