POST-APOCOLYPTIC RP
POST-APOCOLYPTIC RP
No, this is not a continuation or redo of the other one. This is a brand-new RP I made up myself.
What happened is this.
In the future, technology kept expanding, as we know it will. Bigger and better computers, TVs, iPhones, and bombs were made. These bombs, even though the world recognized them as dangerous, kept upgrading and upgrading until they built the ultimate bomb.
A bomb that could blow the world to pieces.
It was an amazing atomic discovery, and scientists everywhere rejoiced. But then their faces fell. They frowned. Because if this bomb got into the wrong hands, the world would vanish.
So they started thinking.
First, the bomb was destroyed, even though they could not find the instructions to make it.
Then, they made the most important descision anyone has ever made.
They decided to start over.
So they started working. Day and night, night and day, scientists all over the world toiled to create a bomb that would fix every mistake mankind had ever made.
Then, one day, Doctor R.J. Lupin made it.
It was another bomb. No one knows what was in the interior except Dr. Lupin, who slid all of his notes in his pocket. The bomb was televised. Everyone got ready, or as ready as they could be for the end of the world as they knew it.
Five... four... three... two... one...
Dr. Lupin set off the bomb.
If anyone from space had looked down and watched, they would have called the transformation odd. Cities vanished. Continents shrank. All global warming receaded. Greens of all shapes and colors grew.
And everyone on Earth forgot pretty much everything.
They still knew how to talk. They knew how to write and do basic math that was needed in life. They knew what to eat and what to drink. The basics. But they didn't really know anything else. They didn't even know their own names.
People all around the new world stood up. They shook their heads. They looked around.
They vanished.
Some never showed up again. Some did. The point was, humankind had been overpopulated, so they were thinned out.
_______
End of story! And the beginning. Because this is where the RP begins. A whole new world, a whole new life.
The form, and my charrie!
Name: Danae Winters; she made it up herself.
Age: 11
Gender: Female
Appearance: Wavy hair that shrouds her face, which is small and round. Her eyes are a chocolate brown. She's rather short for her age.
Personality: She's a very controlling person. Bossy and stubborn, Danae usually gets her way by turning on "The Charm". If that doesn't work, though, she gets very persuasive. Being very short-minded, she sees people as either on her side or not on her side, period. If they're on her side, they should do what she says. If they're not, they should be.
Other: She has an incredible singing voice and uses it all the time.

Are we doing this story in past or present tense? I personally like past tense better, but I've noticed that everyone is doing it in present tense. And does anyone want to be my character's best friend?

Name Forgotten~
A
wave of panic surged through me, and I began to breathe quickly. I turned
around in a complete circle, looking in every direction, even though I knew I
probably wouldn't see a thing. Behind me, in the distance, was a forest.
"HELP!"
I yelled, running toward the forest.
I
turned around and ran in the opposite direction.
"IS
ANYONE THERE? PLEASE!" I wailed.
Then,
deciding that I would feel better going to the forest instead of running for
hours over hills that never ended, I changed my direction once again.
*********
I
didn't run for long before I stopped to catch my breath. I couldn't remember
much, but I knew one thing: I wasn't the athletic type, really. After I spent
some time gulping air, I felt better. I plopped down on a smooth rock and
leaned back onto a little hill.
Is
this really happening?
I
shaded my eyes from the sun and examined the forest in front of me. It wasn't
too far off; I'd be able to reach it in another half hour, maybe hour. I didn't
really know what I was going to do when I got there, but for some reason, I
thought being in a forest was more appealing than being in a field of
never-ending hills. Maybe it was because out in the open, where I could see
everything in front of me, I couldn't see anyone else; any form of comfort. But
in the forest, anything could be there; I just might not have seen it.
Why?
How? What in the whole wide world is this?
These questions flitted through my mind, filling
up the empty spaces where memory once was. I didn't know why, how, where, what.
I had no idea where I was, why I was there, how I got there, or what in the
world was going on.
Go
to the forest,
Find the leaves…
These words glided into my head like two doves,
cooing soothingly.
That’s where I need to go, I decided.
So I
stood up, and ran away from the rock, the grassy hills, and from my own mind.

Foxhound~
l hurt all over. Sleep didn't do much for my wounds. The strange animal that l found last night is gone, but when l crawl out of the crack, l find it curled up outside.
It looks like the metal animal that l wear around my neck. sharp ears, pointed nose, four legs and a bushy tail. Expect.....The animal rolls over and to my suprise l see that it's front leg and part of it's face is metal. It snarls softly to me, but othewise ignores me. It's part metal, part non-living, and yet it's alive.
It doesn't even turn it's head as l come closer. l can see that there's something around it's neck. A band of animal skin with flat metal tag, engraved with symbols that l don't reconize. l touch it and the animal flinches. The band it doing something to the animal. l draw one of the sharp tools, and neatly slice the band off. The animal jerks as if it has just woken up, looks at me, then quickly slinks off to the crack in the rock. l let it go, intent on exameing the band of animal skin. l run my fingers along the inside of it, then suddenly feel numb,like l can't feel a thing. It takes a huge effort to remove my hand from the surface. This is dangerous, but it may be useful and l put it away in a pocket of the cloth that l wear.
l feel something. Something inside me, Something gnawing, something l need. Driven by the feeling, l gather my few things and desend the mountain, looking for something, l know not what. l hear footsteps behind me and see that the animal is following me, keeping a distance.
l see no harm in that, so l continue on.
~~~
It has been a few hours when l come across a trench in the land, l'm off the mountain by now, filled with moving, clear, substance. Something tells me that this is what l want. It's cold when l dip my hands into it then bring my face down to take it in. It feels so good. The animal has come down to drink beside me. It ignores me.
l look up and see a endless span of land, and a figure. A person. Like me. The animal looks up and growls softly. l gentaly touch it on the head as l watch the figure.

@Juliet: It doesn't really matter, you can RP in any form. Some people RP in 1st person, some in 3rd, some in present tense and some in past. It varies from person to person. Do whatever you want!
Danae~
Winter. Snow. Coat. Rock. They are all very funny and beautiful words, I think, perched on my rock. Do the "we" know about them too? Do the "we" know about boots? Have the "We" seen Green? Unanswerable questions that fill my head are interrupted by an answerable one.
Why don't I have a name?
I should have a name. Coat and rock and green and snow and winter and boots- they all have names. Why shouldn't I?
Winter is the first thing that comes to mind. No, not Winter- Winters. But that isn't right. I can't be just Winters. All these things, they aren't alive like I am. They don't move unless someone makes them. I move of my own accord. I can talk. They don't talk back. No, my name has to be different... maybe two words?
I sit there wracking my brains for a very long time, more and more words filling my head. Blond. Abigail. Brunette. Mia. Mom. Dad. End. Bomb. Phone. But none of them sound right. I'm about to give up and just go as Winter when a small thought takes up my head.
"Danae..."
I sit bolt upright. That was it. I could feel it, the electricity couring through my bones.
Danae Winters would be my name.

Sorry that my formating went haywire on my last post. I copied off of Word and pasted... Oh well!
Oh, and by the way, I don't want "Whisp" to be my nickname anymore. Just so you know.
___________
A few minutes passed, and I had to stop for breath again. Then I kept running for a few more minutes, and I finally reached the first tree of the forest. I placed my small hand onto the trunk of the wide, red-ish brown-ish plant, and swept past it, into the woods.
(October 19, 2015 - 8:27 pm)
Are we all going to meet together at some point?
Rani ~ As I get up my dog starts to follow me. I sit down again, almost immediately and open my book. "Pe-rcy Jaackson." I trill. My dog whines. "Per-cy come." I tell him. He whines more, but says where he is. I flip the book open. "Lu-ke."" Lu-ke.""Lu-ke come. "I say. The dog roles over on his back and yelps. I look at the book again. "Her-mes come." The dog comes straight to me. I start petting him. He licks my hand.
I continue looking at the book. Strange words pop out. Cell-phone, caduceus. My mind is spinning, than everything goes black.
(October 19, 2015 - 6:55 pm)
Frost-
The girl I was watching fainted. A dog looked concerned and licked her face.
I leaped to the ground and snatched up the book. Percy Jackson.
Something nagged at the back of my mind, but I pushed it away.
I heard the dog growl before I felt it on me. I growled back and threw it off as the girl stirred.
"Who're you?" I snapped, "Where did you get this?"
(October 20, 2015 - 8:15 am)
l was thinking that the figure that Foxhound sees is Anna, but cause y'know, Danie's leaving, it could be anyone's charrie.
(October 20, 2015 - 3:48 pm)
Danie's leaving? Are you in the mountains looking down onto a field? If so, you could see me right before I go into the woods.
(October 20, 2015 - 8:36 pm)
Day-
Blue all around, the view, the sky, the lake glistening right next to me. I stand up, stretch and catch a glimpse of black on the flat of my hand... My... Palm. Right my palm. D.a.y. Day Litllith. I have no recollections of my name or the instrument laying right next to me. Black with silver covering holes. With no idea what it is I place wood in my mouth and blow. My fingers fly with a life of my own, out comes haunting tones. A bright pink flower pops into my head and immediately think sister. Wanting to know more I try again. This time all that comes out of it is a piercing, splitting pain. Unable to think I roll into a ball to wait for it to end.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry it's so short. I have a project to finish!
(October 20, 2015 - 6:57 pm)
Rani ~"It's MINE."I say weakly. "And I don't know where I got it! Do you remember anything?" I say rather harshly. She looks as if I just slapped her. My dog goes right over to her and starts licking her hands. She looks shocked. "It's none of your business." She says coldly. "Then it's none of your business where I got this book." I say flatly, stalking off. My dog immediately starts to follow me.
(October 21, 2015 - 2:10 pm)
Foxhound~
The figure turns and runs into the woods. They haven't spotted me. Should l follow? l haven't seen anyone else...So......
l carefully jump over the stream, and start running torwards the group of trees. The animal follows along at a distance. Now that l am closer, l can that the figure is a girl wih long white hair and somewhat short. She turns around at the sound of my footsteps. She looks startled.
"W-who are you? Do you remember?"
"Remember? What is there to remember?"
"Something happened. There was something before this." She frowns. "Do you remember your name?"
"No......What is a name? l call myself Foxhound."
She sighs. "A name is like a tiltle, but l forgot my own."
"l do not care about remembering. l care about surviving. What is the lay of this land? Where's good shealter?"
"But don't you want to know, about your pasted? Who you were? What happened? Why you can't remember anything?"
"Questions are not going to keep you alive." l growl. "l need to get moving before it gets colder. Unless." l pause. "You would like to come with me. But you can not slow me down or be cowardly."
(October 21, 2015 - 3:57 pm)
Will reply soon!!! If not today I will try my best to do it by tomorrow.
(October 22, 2015 - 10:04 am)
Frost-
I scowled and rose to my full height; not much, but I look a little more intimidating then when I'm crouched.
"I call myself Frost," I growl, "and we have a right to know what happened before. I know there are others. I saw you earlier."
"How-" Foxhound breaks off and shakes her head. "Never mind. Are you coming with me or not? Memories don't matter."
I glance away. "I wish I didn't have wisps," I sigh.
"What?" she asks.
"Nothing," I sigh.
The wisps are the static left in my mind, pieces of memory that flash and burn at the edges of my conscience. They never come out fully, but they're there.
And so is the letter in my pocket.
My little frosty girl,
I am so sorry. This is for the greater good. Find me in the forest. I love you.
-Daddy
PLOT TWIST: What if Frost is Lupin's daughter? Just a thought.
(October 22, 2015 - 8:01 pm)
Isn't that a bit unfair to the other characters?
(October 22, 2015 - 9:38 pm)
Wha-what? Foxhound was talking to Name Forgotten, Juliet's character. Where the heck did Frost come from? Did she just walk up to them?
