Since my last RP failed miserably, I present to you..

The Classroom
This role-play is loosely based on ?Battle Royal? a Japanese horror flick set in the future in which a whole class is kidnapped and forced to kill each other on a remote island, for the televised enjoyment of gamblers across Japan. To learn more: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266308/

Now, this role-play will not be set in Japan or in the future but in the present and in The States. The class chosen are a sophomore class from The University Of Boise, Idaho. During their ?school trip? their school bus is hi-jacked by a group of soldiers, who kill the teachers and bus driver. With little hope, the class is taken to a beach, where they are split into 3 groups of 8. Group A are the first to go, they are taken to an underground facility full with traps and deathly weapons. Group B are the next to go, they are escorted, via helicopter, to a tiny island which is used to train soldiers. The island has a small town with the necessities they need to survive; running water, food, weapons etc. The final group, Group C, are taken to an island, covered in dense forest and swampy marshes.

The rules are simple; kill your classmates to survive. Every student has a metal bracelet attached to their leg, ankle, neck, stomach etc.. The bracelet has a pin sticking out of it. Pull out the pin and the bracelet will explode within 10 seconds. If you choose to work together, a bracelet, at random, will detonate making the message clearer. Spread throughout each map is a wide range of cameras. Watching these innocent schoolchildren murder each other are the wealthy businessmen of China, England, Russia, Japan, Mexico, Texas and Afghan. They place bets on the children to see who will win and who will fail.

The whole idea came from a wealthy businessman who forced his wife and lover to fight to the death. His lover prevailed and now they run this healthy business of manhunt.

Several things YOU get to do...

Firstly, you get to choose which group we go with. Whichever has the most votes will win and the RP will be based there. Secondly, a character sheet is needed.(See below)
I shall play two characters of the 8, allowing 6 open spaces...
Name : Mika Washington

Age: 17

Appearance: Mika has black short hair, cut neatly. His face is quite pale. He is half-Asian and has brown eyes. He also has a large scar under his lip which he got whilst playing hockey. He is wearing a Nintendo t-shirt with slacks and a decent pair of shoes.

Personality: Mika likes to keep to himself. He would prefer to sit back and read some comics than to go out and ?Socialize? or even play video games. He suffers from an illness which can cause him to go into emotional spasms of rage and attack/destroy anything in sight.


Name: Jenna Wilson

Age: 15

Appearance: Jenna has straight but wavy dark red hair. Her eyes are a dazzling green/purple. She is Caucasian and has little tan from the sun. Jenna is wearing short-skinny jeans with red and white runners. She is also wearing a red tank-top and has a white life-guard jacket over it.

Personality: Jenna is very open with her feelings and likes to be heard. Sometimes she keeps to herself when she recalls memories of when an Asian man broke into her father?s office and slashed him over and over again until he finally died. Jenna can be very naive also, she will follow other?s instructions unless she feels there is something wrong.

Hopefully this won?t fail as it will be my last shot at hosting a RP for a long, long time xD.
Also, along with your character could you cast your vote as to where the pupils are headed?
The Underground factory/facility? The police training grounds? The dense and cold forest?

Would you kill your best friend?

Creepy... But sounds good.
Name: Eric Mathes

Age: 16

Appearance: Short and curly blonde hair. Dark brown eyes. Very white, absolutely no tan. Somewhat baggy jeans and a black t-shirt under a large grey jacket with a hood to hide his earphones. Wears new balance tennis shoes because of their comfort level.

Personality: Somewhat of a techy. Good with computers but physical labor isn't his forte. Shut out to the outside world, he has a small group of friends whom he is very close to. He rarely talks to people he doesn't know and is very shy. Hasn't ever gotten into a fight and would have no idea what to do if he did. He carry's a wide array of electronic gear in his jacket at all times. In order to block out the world his headphones are always in and blasting a mixture of rock, punk, and oldies music.
That work?
I vote for C. Seems like the most fun.

Stick me up as a reserve please :D and I'll go with C :D

Sheet shall be up soon-ish :)
Name: Zachary (Zac) O'Brien

Age: 17

Appearance: Dirty brown hair that covers his ears. Both of his eyes are a steely grey colour. Wears a graffiti styled shirt with a pair of combat trousers.

Personality: A bit of a social misfit, Zac tried to fit in through the local basketball team, he found he was quite food, but still never fitted in with the other players and became alienated from them as a result. This led him into a gaming lifestyle, talking to people over mikes only rather than face to face.

He developed insomnia when he was 15 and has rarely slept in the previous two years, as such he is quite short tempered and a perfectionist since he had literally 24 hours to do things rather than the standard number that most people had.
Anything wrong let me know :D

Longtime RPer, but testing the waters here on the Escapist forums. Looks promising. Never read or viewed any of the source material but it sounds interesting enough. Is there a rough time you'd like us all to be on? My peak hours are 5PM-11PM central time.

Name: Nathan Harper.

Age: 16.

Appearance: Slacked through running but hit the weights hard, and movies when he gets home, leaves Nate with a bit of flab. Viewed from the right angle, he's not bad looking. Thick, short brown hair, green eyes, and often sporting a wide grin. He relies more on his self-delusioned charms than his appearance to socialize. He wears a black suit jacket on top of a white t-shirt, and a pair of blue jeans with black slip on shoes that pass for a dress shoe.

Personality: Nathan is one of those guys. The one people invites to parties because he's good for a few laughs. He's not at all good at conveying his feelings and tends to come off as brash and judgmental. Emotional issues brought on by the early divorce of his parents (something he's twisted into something to brag about) and the constant tug-of-war for his affections has left him distant from others on a core level. While he's the first to socialize with new people, he's the last to make a lasting connection, preferring to keep people at a distance.

i'll make a sheet later but i'll be going for B
Name: Maria Desari

Age: 17

Appearance: Maria has long black hair and deep blue eyes. She wears a simple blouse and skirt combined with long boots.

Personality:having been raised by a rich family with servants Maria is always forcing her own will and throws a temper when something doesn't happen the way she wants. Though in an unknown area/situation she's quite vulnerable and doesn't know how to act which people usually take as being shy

(good enough?)

I like your sheet, accepted. Also, there's not really a preferable time, just post whenever you feel it's right.

Okay! Making a sheet... now!

Name: Mark Davis.
Age: 16.
Appearance: Short, spiked blonde hair. Wears glasses. Pale skin. Skinny, without much muscle. Wears a red wool sweater with an argyle design. Wears jeans with it, and sneakers.
Personality: Very dorky. Likes to stay uninvolved. Gossips with his few friends, and tends to be very judgmental. Does not understand why people get so emotional over so little. Had a few girlfriends, but got cheated on constantly, causing him to be slightly afraid of women. Likes the idea of violence, but thinks that actual violence is too messy for him to get involved in.

His family tends to ignore him, and in large groups of people, Mark begins to feel uncomfortable.

Looking forward to the RP, though I do have one suggestion.

I'm not sure how you're going to start us off but maybe have the group in a holding cell or even on the bus when we start instead of throwing us right on the island or police training academy? That would give the characters time to interact and get to know each other and, from an IC point of view at least, be more emotional WHEN someone is killed, for better or worse. Vengeance, sorrow, vendettas, grief, and anything in between would make the RP all the sweeter.

Oh yeah, of course! I have a good idea for the opening, anyway. Also, they?re schoolmates so they?ve known each other for a long time, I guess. Thanks, anyway.

There's knowing people in school, and knowing people after their bus has been kidnapped. :p Can't wait to see your opening. Tomorrow is too far.

[h4]Chapter One ? The Arrival.[/h4]

The cold breeze roamed the copter as one of the soldiers opened the slide door. Mika had stopped weeping and faced the situation. The soldier grabbed him by his arm and dragged him across the floor.

?A little more to the left, Scotty.? The soldier yelled to the pilot.

The helicopter glided in mid air over the blue sea. The island was a fine sight from the outside but on the inside it was a cold and scary place. The soldier tossed Mika out of the helicopter. He travelled through the air and within seconds, he entered the ocean. The water swept him towards the shore and eventually he washed up. 8 Weapons lay on a table, each child to take one. Mika took the shotgun, leaving the dagger, pistol, samurai sword, mace, axe, flamethrower and the chain hooks. Obviously, whoever had the flamethrower would have an advantage but it was simply too heavy for Mika to carry.

The soldier looked around at the remaining students. He eyed them one-by-one grinning. The door slid open once more and the soldier began to speak.

?So, who?s next??

Choose to go next or stay and interact with the students. Don?t attack or disobey the soldier, it will result in a broken bone and a warning.
I welcome you all to The Classroom. Hope you enjoy this role-play :D xD

"Always wanted to be on TV." He gets up and nervously glances from the soldier, to the table. As much as he wanted to be the hero, grab the pistol, shoot the soldier and free his school mates (because he KNOWS he'd get laid if he did that) he realizes he has no idea how to fly a helicopter and he's the fattest kid here so there's no other child to use as a cushion when they crash.

Flamethrower...axe...he's sure some weeaboo will take the sword but he's gotta think about practicality here. Axe he can actually use to, y'know, survive. He licks his lips when he looks upon the flamethrower, however...because that just screams awesome. It'll probably break when he hits the ocean and he definitely won't be able to swim with it. Plus, the chain hooks just look stupid.

He looks over the rest of his class mates...his competition. One of them with end up with the handgun...any of these kids good shots? Zac might be. Kid mentioned how he never sleeps. Probably is up all night playing CoD4 or something.

He reaches over and wraps his fingers slowly around the axe, waiting to see if Buyer's Remorse will kick in...nope. He stuffs it into his backpack with the towel he had brought (mom insisted, he claims) so that it doesn't cut into his back or anything ridiculous like that.

Once more he looks over his class mates. He's got to say something to them. Not because he's supposed to be funny but because these kids look really...really down. "So...what'd we learn in school today?" He gives them all a wavering grin. Probably the last thing he would say to them.

Inevitably, he's dragged to the door of the helicopter and is thrown off. The wind whistles past his ears more loudly than his screaming of, "OHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHIT!" Somewhere during that period, he remembers that he needs air to breathe as well as scream. He takes a breath, shuts his eyes as tight as possible and curls up into a ball for the greatest cannonball dive in the history of forever.

I'll follow the fatass then, Zac thinks to himself scratching his head then standing up shakily.

"See you out there," he smiles thinly to the other before nodding to the guard and diving out into the ocean.

Once he reaches the shore he shakes off some of the water on his body, looking at the table his eyes settle on the pistol.

He quickly picks it up and tucks it into one of his pockets before turning back to check the helicopter.
I dunno if we were to head into the forest so I'm on the beach for now :p
