UnderWorld RP 

This is the UnderWorld. An underground land where life thrives. Complete with mountains, streams, trees, people, animals, beasts, and a vast forest, and ,unsurprisingly, no sun, moon, or stars. You've been here your whole life... as far as you know. You don't remember anything before the age of 13. But you do remember few things... or, to be more precise, you know a few things. Your name, how to fight, and that you must survive. If you can. You also know that there is world above you... a place that most in UnderWorld call Topside. Every one here is no older then 17 and no younger then 13. But... how did we get here? Did someone put us here? Can we get out? We don't know... I know that I've tried everything that I can think of. There has to be a way out... but can we find it? Can I find it?

To the north are the mountains, three, small mountains. Arranged in a triangle they are more like large, lumpy mounds then actual mountains. To the west and south is the vast forest. Filled with towering trees, bushes, fast flowing streams, and small meadows this is where most of the animals  live. And the humans. But... it's not all pretty landscapes. For, to the east lies the bogs. A giant swamp. Those who go in don't come out. Scratch that, they come out... as Mongers. Like ghouls, these creatures are half rotten corpses, willing to devour you with pleasure. Or simple turn you into one of their own. Set into the ceiling of the cavern are giant skylights. This provides light and a source of sunlight for the plants to use. When the sun goes down in Topside, the light in UnderWorld world goes away. When the place becomes dark, the Mongers trudge out from the bogs, seeking fresh flesh. They roam the land until the light appears once more. If they stay out, they burn. You can cross the whole of UnderWorld in, roughly, three days.

Simply because they are all trying to stay alive, the people of UnderWorld have made a small agreement not to kill each other. It has been broken before, and there are small fights that do break out every now and again. Mostly over resources. Also, there is practically no civilization. No buildings, no metal, no guns, etc. The only metal they where given was a small and cheap knife–each person was gifted one upon arrival– but most people have built their own weapons and shelters. The hunt or forage for food.

Your charrie sheet should look something like this:

Name:  Hylas.

Age [13-17]: 15-16.

Appearance: Hylas has dirty blonde hair that comes to a stop just above his shoulders. The ends are kinda jagged, most likely caused by cutting his own hair with a knife. His eyes are bright green, and are always sharp, keen, and wary. He stands at 5'8, and has a lithe or lean build with longish legs. He wears no shirt, no shoes, only a pair of battered brown cargo-shorts, and a belt made of vines. [This is also where he carries his obsidian knife.] Hylas also sports several scars, the biggest being a fairly long one that stretches from his left underarm across his chest and stomach, and down to his last, right rib. 

Personality: I'd rather you just meet him, but here's a few basics; he's rather wary and suspicious of others, but over time, if you gain his trust, he may open up to you. He's also fairly angry about being put in the UnderWorld, and will try to find a way out no matter what.

Weapons/Equipment: Hylas has a 9 inch, obsidian knife, crafted by himself. The blade itself is 9 inches long, while the handle is 3 inches, made from red oak. He also has a spear,  crafted by himself and the knife. It's made from a rare wood called 'lush oak', that only grows in UnderWorld. The wood is strong enough to break a rusty sword in half, and its bark is rubbery, causing objects to, more or less,  bounce off of it. The spear is about 5'9, and its head is also obsidian.

Skills: He is pretty fast, very agile, and much stronger then he looks. He's also fairly good at making fires without any lighters, paper, matches, ect. 

Camp [This should tell where your camp is, if you have one.]: None. He simple roams, trying to survive.

Other [This can be filled in if you have something that you want to add.]: Hylas has tried hundreds of times to get to Topside, either if it was digging, climbing, ect. The only thing that he, or anyone, never tried was going through the bogs. [The Mongers destroy any tunnels that they find, and a giant blades come whooshing out from the walls, cutting either ropes or people in half.]

I'm actually new here, but I thought I'd give it a try. Hope it works!
