Dear reader

  Congratulations. Out of the millions of people evaluated, you have been selected to be one of eight Variables in Dr. Lezandro Mortiz's latest project. This is a high honor, I assure you— one that you simply cannot refuse. Not only are you benefiting his research, but I'm sure it will be quite an incredible experience for you as well. Puzzles and perils and tons of excitement! There is no need to concern yourself with a time or a meeting place. We will get you when we are ready. Thank you for your participation. We do look forward to seeing you soon!  
      Kind regards,
          Dr. Lezandro Mortiz

Mm. Spam mail. Eight different people received this odd letter on the same day, but it seemed like spam. Maybe a joke or something. It didn't make a lot of sense to begin with, so who would worry too much about it?
Besides, the receivers— they were nobodies. Impoverished losers. Drug-addicts. Foster kids who'd been abused and neglected. Homeless hobos. You know, the type of people that always get overlooked and underloved. Those kind of people.
Besides, they never signed up for any "project."
But… the darndest thing happens.
These eight people find themselves awoken in the middle of the night, drowning in pure darkness, unable to breath, unable to see. They don't know what's happening, aside from the fact that something is wrong. They're being yanked from their beds— or whatever place it is they sleep at night— and dragged across the floor. Maybe they fight. Maybe they thrash. Maybe they don't. What's happening? Are they being kidnapped? Who would bother kidnapping them?
Perhaps we will see.
Darkness soon envelopes them and they lose consciousness. Just when it seemed that it was all over, they wake as quickly as they faded— except now they're in a dull, grey room, with bunk-beds and seven strangers they've never seen before. The doors are locked. It looks like a prison cell.
They don't realize that it's far worse.

  Players  

There are eight Variables total. You can each have up to two starting characters. Characters may die throughout this, but I will never kill one of your characters without permission. Sign-ups are short; personalities will develop throughout. I will be playing Dr. Mortiz and controlling the game itself, as well as other side characters that will be involved in this. As this progresses, you will have the opportunity to acquire new characters. This prompt is vague, but everything is quite vivid in my mind. Ask questions if you need.

  RULES  

You guys mostly know my rules.

  • No language. No exception.
  • No sex scenes. No exception.
  • Romance is welcome, but MxF ships and it has to stay PG-13. Kissing, hand-holding, non-sexual acts of affection = perfectly fine by me.
  • Don't be OP. An no god-modding or power-playing.
  • No auto-hitting. No dodging every attack, either.
  • No magic
  • No supernatural
  • Violence is embraced here, and blood doesn't bother me. Just don't be ridiculous with the gore.
  • Ask questions if needed. I'm probably forgetting some rules but ehhh I'll remember them later. Probably. Maybe?
  • I'm in a stern mood today, so break these rules and I'll fight you. Okay, well, maybe not. You're all my friends so I'll be nice. But still, please follow my rules or I'll be sad and probably abandon the RP.

@Sterling_Silver

Name:
Griffith "Griffey" Kearney
Age:
Eighteen (18) years old
Gender:
Male
Backstory:
His parents didn't want him, so he went into foster care at a young age. His foster parents were mostly unkind to him, but he was finally able to move out on his own about four months ago, when he turned eighteen. He has been sharing an apartment room with some other guy named M.J. Lately, Griffey has been short on cash and is afraid that he's going to be unable to keep up paying his half of the bill… But that might not matter anymore.
Appearance:
Fair skin. About 5'11", with a stocky build. He's not fat, but he's a tad bit chubby, with the sort of softness that comes from lack of exercise and a poor diet. Thick, dark brown, curly hair that's always a horrible mess. Sometimes he tries to wear a ball cap over it to keep it under control, but it pokes out from beneath the sides anyways and refuses to be tamed. He has blue-gray eyes and dark eye lashes. He has some pimples on his face; not many, but enough to make him self-conscious.
Outfit:
Oversized-hoodies or jackets to hide the fact that he feels overweight; usually sweatpants, but sometimes jeans if he has a clean pair. Generally he's untidy, but he's always sanitary. His shirts are sometimes wrinkly and untucked, his socks mismatched, or his shoes untied, but he smells nice, anyway. He tends to wear dark blues and reds, sometimes grays or blacks.
Personality:
Very reserved. Introverted. Quiet. Reclusive. Incredibly self-conscious. Kind-hearted, but can come across as being a bit detached. He's nicer than he lets on like. Afraid to make friends because he feels like everybody hates him. Self-sacrificial for the sake of others. Protective. Witty, with a dry sense of humor. He can be either brave or cowardly, depending on the scenario.
Other: I hope this is acceptable.

@Sterling_Silver

Name:
Ajay Barkley
Age:
He acts like he's fourteen but I swear he's nineteen (19) years old.
Gender:
Male
Backstory:
He was abused by his father when he was a child, so his mother divorced and took Ajay. She's disabled— and also dirt poor. Ajay has tried his best to keep a job to support her, but it's getting rough. He's not going to be able to afford college and that depresses him. He still lives with his mom.
(Sorry my backstories are flat; I usually put more work into them than this but like I was in a hurry and I feel like they're not too imminent to the plot)
Appearance:
Pale boi. He's 6'3", lanky, and scrawny. He kinda has big feet. Not huge, but big. Thick, straight blond hair styled up, sort of an undercut-fade type hairstyle I guess but generally just a mess that seems to stick up in ever direction. He smiles a lot, and he's got bright white teeth with just a tiny gap between the two front ones. Dark brown eyes.
Outfit:
He wears glasses. Thick framed, dark-green, squarish ones. He likes to wear meme t-shirts or cat t-shirts when he can afford them, usually with a threadbare light jacket over them. Usually sweat-pants or something comfortable. His underwear is usually pulled up high enough so that you can just the elastic at the top (or maybe his pants sag down since he's kinda skinny?), so there's that (I imagine his mother always scolding him to pull his shirt down or his pants up). He wears brightly colored socks with random things on them— think aliens or ketchup-and-mustard or Bob Ross. He wears converse sneakers, usually bright-colored ones that are wore out.
Personality:
He's really nice, but super dorky. Kind of derpy at times. He's sort of attention desperate, considering his own parents never really paid a lot of attention to him, and he never had many friends at school. He tries to be funny but sometimes comes off as annoying or weird. He's probably slightly depressed and just wants to feel loved. Kind of cowardly at times. Sadder than he lets on like.
Other:
Both of my sign-ups are pretty crappy, so…. uh… I'll try to refine these characters more in the RP if that's okay with you.

@Moriarty

’ello~ Altrince and I will probably do our sign-ups tomorrow if that’s fine

Yes that's fine

And Smith, don't you dare apologize for these beautiful pure beings. I love them so darn much, it's not even funny. Getting… INxx vibes from Griffey and maybe ExFx from Ajay?
You've made me depressed that one of them may die before this is over with.

@Sterling_Silver

Griffey is probably an INFJ, INFP, or INTP, so yeah. Ajay is definitely an ExFx, leaning more towards ENFP. He could be an ESFP, or even an ESFJ. He's definitely not a T and he needs attention, so E all the way.

@Moriarty

(This is beautiful and I love it and thank you so much for including me.)

:D I'm glad you love it and that you're here with us!!

@CasiCasino group

Name:
Mathias Lyre
Age:
Nineteen (19)
Gender:
Male
Backstory:
Mathias was a great child when he grew up. However, reaching the point of being a teenager and actually experiencing the world, he turned the other cheek. He started with cigarettes, followed by heroin and other drugs came after. He didn’t really succeed after that and just became a failure of a person.
Appearance:
Mathias has a messy black hair and a pair of dark eyes. His hair is quite long but it doesn’t go down to his neck, just around eyebrows. He stands at 6’5” but with bad posture so he’s only around 6’1”. He’s slim and frail but still quite athletic due to… running away from the police. His eyes have black rings around it as he hasn’t slept in over months.
Outfit:
He wears a torn up white shirt with an oversized black windbreaker jacket. He also has an equally torn up pair of jeans with are pale and very old. He has a pair of dirtied sneakers which should be about five years old or even more.
Personality:
Mathias is extremely fearful and is a broken person by default. The only thing that can keep him sane is music. Think of him as a scared cat which can only be kept at place with music.
Other:
He tends to shiver a lot and always has a sociopathic expression on even though that is his resting face.

@PrettyLittlePyro

Name:
Adrielle Danvers

Age:
18

Gender:
Female

Backstory:
Adrielle grew up in a rich house. Her parents never cared about her, instead choosing to shower her younger brother with love and affection. To them, she was dirt under their feet, and they couldn't wait to get rid of her. Wanting her parents' love and attention, she started to steal things and burn things down and hang out with all the wrong crowds. Her parents couldn't have cared less until her little brother told them, after Adrielle had burned down a house. She was sent to military camps and cheap therapists, but it didn't change her at all, just made her better at acting like she was normal. Eventually, she ran away from home, and lived on the run, stealing and burning whenever she got the chance.

Appearance:
Adrielle looks like the most innocent thing in the world. She has long white blonde hair and pale skin. She has delicate, doll-like features, and is absolutely beautiful. She is short, about 5'4'', and curvy. She is petite, and seems like she could be blown away at the first breath of wind. Her eyes are a wide, innocent shape, and she is very good at looking confused, naive, or anything like that. She is very good at acting. Her eyes are a clear, icy blue, with what looks like fractures in them, giving her eyes the appearance of shattered glass. They are the only thing she can't hide, or disguise, full of malice and hatred and anger, and loneliness. She gives off the aura of a psycho, someone to stay away from, someone to watch and be careful of. She has a tattoo on her wrist, of the words "Fuck you too" in beautiful script.

Outfit:
Anything dark. Black leggings, usually, and a dark hoodie. Sneakers, too, so that she can run away whenever she needs to, and a white t-shirt.

Personality:
Adrielle is calm, cool, and shy on the outside. She is bitter, too, and has a dirty sense of humor. She loves to make people shut up by silently looking at them with her wide eyes, and it freaks people out. She has no friends, and would betray someone at the blinking of an eye, with no regrets. She's smart, though, and clever, and very manipulative and cunning.

Other:
She always has matches and a lighter in her pocket with her, always something fire related with her, wherever she goes.

@Moriarty

I like them all! Are you guys planning on starting with one or two characters? I'm in no rush. We still have to wait for our other player, anyhow.
