(OK, so I'm not entirely new to this whole RP thingy, but where I come from, we do reeeeeeeeaaaaaaalllllllyyyyyyy long explanations of our stories. These can get a bit off-hand. But I'm going to try. Here we go…)

The city started out as an oasis, a place where cool water sprung from the dead desert sand. It offered rest to the nomads, the caravans, the travelers; it became a place of quiet, a place of shade.
People started to settle there. The settlement grew into a village, then a town, then a bustling city full of skyscrapers and people. They named their city Lapis, like the deep blue waters of the lake. Lapis, the isolated desert city, whose citizens had nothing to fear. There was no possibility of an earthquake or a flood or a hurricane. There was little fear of crime, because few were poor and many were rich. They were content, freestanding in the desert, confident that they would stand the test of time.
But they hadn't counted on the war. The war tore at the sense of security that surrounded Lapis. But the citizens remained, heads high, trying to convince themselves that it would be all right.
Then the bomb hit. It was a sphere of radioactivity, a blast that shook the night itself, made the stars quake. It hit the city hard. Every living soul died.
But six people survived. They had never known each other before. They were immune to radioactivity, and it was something to do with the strange mark on their wrists, something they all had.
You are one of those six people.
What do you do?

(OK, spoiler alerts/notes time:

1. These people are immune to radioactivity because scientists experimented on them when they were little. They were unwanted babies. The lab was in Siberia, smack in the middle of nowhere. Then government-type people came in, blew the thing open (figuratively), and the kids were all adopted. It's up to you to decide if your character knows that they were adopted or not. Oh, and this takes place in a slightly more futuristic world, but not crazy futuristic. And you're all around the same age, like 16-25 or so.
2. The mark on the wrist (just so y'alls know) is on the inside of the wrist, just below the heel of the hand. It's dark purple, like a bruise, but with defined edges like a birthmark. And it doesn't have any particular shape. The size is about that of a US quarter.
3. The story starts right after the bomb hits, right as your characters are all finding that they are alive, and that they are not the only ones alive. I think it will start in the town square.
4. Restrictions on this RP: I don't appreciate swearing, so let's try to protect some innocence here and refrain from it. No sexual content whatsoever, but romantic relationships are allowed. So let's keep it on the mild side of PG-13 here.
5. Be nice. Don't offend other people.
6. Have fun!)

OK, I think that's good for now! Let me know if I've forgotten something off of the character sheet (I almost always do).
Buckle up, it's gonna be quite a ride!

• Arrow

Oh wow! May I?

(Also it’s a pleasure to meet you!)

Yes, you may.

May I join? :D

May I join?

Yes, that's 5 people. We need one more. Y'alls can make your characters in the meantime.

Heh, I'm in classes at the moment but will when I have the chance

Ah no, how do I edit the title? It won't let me for some reason… very strange… can anyone help me? XD

NVM. There we go. And yes, @snowflake_castiel you can join.
That's 6/6, guys! Here we go!

Name: Lata Aylen
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Personality: A bit untrusting at first, but after a short amount of time she'll warm up to people. She can be very caring at times and fairly perceptive when she wants to be. She sometimes feels like a burden to people.
Likes: Boots, books, music, and having someone she can trust. She likes having things to do with herself in order to feel like she isn't simply just extra weight being pulled around.
Dislikes: Dresses, most typical girly things, she'll tolerate a skirt oddly enough. Arrogance, dirty minded people, flirtation.
Talents: Fast learner, swift, resourceful.
Looks: Medium length light brown hair with a single braided streak, dark brown eyes, light tan, fairly skinny, has a small scar on her right cheek. She's about 5'2 in height.

Name: Kayleigh Brieanna Larsson
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Personality: She's the kind of girl who keeps her head down and her feet up - loves books, lets the rest of the world go by. Her adopted parents (she knows she's adopted) lived in The Hub, the part of town that's really wealthy, so she's used to a life of luxury. She doesn't take it for granted, though, even though she can be blunt with her thoughts. She's an observer and more introverted than extroverted.
Likes: books, peace and quiet, sour candy, dark chocolate, addictive phone apps, music (she plays guitar), swimming, tanning, watching people, psychology
Dislikes: loud noises, social events she's forced to participate in, physics, confusing people, cringey fanfics, people who are 'painfully extroverted', uncomfortable shoes, bracelets
Talents: going into a hyperfocused state while reading (she is focused on the book, and nothing else), playing guitar, watching people
Looks: She's slim but not superskinny, with the tan skin that all citizens of Lapis have. Her height is about average for a girl her age - around 5' 8" or so. She has big feet that she feels insecure about. Her hair is the color of dark chocolate, and it's super thick, which is why she's cut it so it's just barely long enough to go into a ponytail. Her eyes are dark green, but they look dark blue in some lights. She doesn't wear that much makeup, just mascara, lip gloss, and concealer when she needs it.

Yeah! Don't worry, we won't start without anybody. :)

Name: Vita Verose
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Personality: Vita is lovable and kind, but if you hurt his friends… He goes crazy. He is very protective and more than a little clumsy. He tends to look on the darker sides of things and is not as pure as you think he would be, underneath all his cheeriness he has a lot of drug jokes.
Likes: Sweets, making dark jokes, baking, drawing, the smell of vanilla, etc.
Dislikes: People who make fun of him, people who can't mind their own freaking space… Etc.
Talents: He is very good at getting what he wants because of his pure adorableness… He is also a really good baker.
Looks: He has light blond hair that he dyed a green color, pale blue eyes with light purple rigs on the outside, suntanned skin with a bunch of freckles, and a wide smile with a few chipped teeth. His hair is very, very floofy, like anime style floofy. His mark somewhat resembles a rose of sorts, well he says it looks like a rose, it's not easy to see it but the resemblance is there.

Name: Jystonn Kyristophy’r Yó
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Personality: A total pushover, extremely gullible, shy at first and then very bubbly, irrational, passionate, extremely sensitive, loving, nerddd, and determined.
Likes: Bad jokes, people, writing utensils, and math.
Dislikes: Spiders, scorpions, any creature with more than 4 legs, snakes, blood, and rude people.
Talents: math ._.
Looks: Slightly tanned skin (he stays indoors much more than outdoors), sapphire blue eyes (Okay probably not but they’re really blue), messy black hair, a number 2 pencil tucked behind his ear, 5’11”.

Okie, that is four peoples we have so far… @snowflake_castiel and @WhichForegroundRavenclaw? if you could get the characters in that would be great. :D
