Where Exactly Am I?
Image

The line for boarding the flight seems to stretch on for eternity. Each person repeats the same process- show ticket, passport, and ID, then file down the narrow corridor. International Flight 764 on Global Airlines from Dublin to Wellington leaves in one hour on its long journey over land and sea. You check your bags, your ticket, and your passport one final time, as you edge slowly closer to the counter. Soon you will be up in the air, but will you ever reach New Zealand?


Rules
~ This is a semi-lit roleplay. I expect five or more good sentences per post. No one-liners. I understand that writer's block happens, but please make an effort to write five lines. Proper grammar and spelling, please. You may type in either first or third person, but it must be in past tense. ~

~ I'm looking for very well designed characters. Not Mary and Gary Sues, but not people with really screwed up lives either. The average person on a plane isn't a wilderness expert who already knows what plants are edible and how to throw knives but also probably isn't a druggie or a tragic orphan. Basing your character off yourself or someone you know makes it easier to roleplay a "normal" person. ~

~ Please do not spam. If you wish to talk out of character, use some form of parentheses. ~

~ Drama is encouraged, but make an effort for it to be between your character and someone else's. Romance is encouraged, but may not be between your own characters. Also, let's try to keep the genders somewhat even. ~

~ Please keep this RP PG-13 or lower. This is a children's site, and all cuss words must be starred out after the first letter. Following that rule, romance should be fade-to-black if it's not PG-13. ~

~ I swear, if I see a post like the one below, I will blow a fuse. The characters have to have bad things happen to them sometimes and they have to be creative in solving them. They are stranded with limited resources, guys. ~
And they reached into a bush and found the tarp they needed for shelter.

~ You may make as many characters as you want, just as long as you can keep them all active. ~

~ If your characters speak a language other than English, provide translation and don't use an Internet translator. I'm tired of reading posts in Spanish with verbs conjugated incorrectly and other mistakes because they are from an online translator. ~

~ A violation of the rules will result in a strike. Three strikes, and you're out. ~


This RP needs members, feel free to advertise it and pm me about it. Posting is now open. Warning- I'm kind of picky about forms. Please be creative.

{[Full Name
Kaytanah Anne Dowling, Kayt for short.
{[Age and Country of Origin
15, USA
{[Personality
Kayt is a complex person. She is incredibly smart academically and is creative, but is pretty hopeless socially. Boys are attractive beings to look at, outsmart, and be superior to in her mind. When she's with people she knows, she's friendly and a strong leader. When she doesn't know people, she becomes shy and nervous, talking only when spoken to or when necessary. She can make friends quickly with people who share her interests, and is argumentative and independent. Kayt won't take flak from anyone, and if someone gives her friends any crap, she uses her size and stubbornness to get rid of them. She has a strong sense of loyalty and commitment, and keeps secrets well. Her belligerence and curiosity often get her in trouble, but she doesn't care as long as she succeeds and feels superior to others. Capable of seeing both sides of an argument or point of view, she is a difficult person to debate with. One of her main cons is that when she forms a hatred or dislike towards someone, she makes it very clear and does not hesitate to freely voice her opinions. If something seems pointless or stupid to her, she will go ahead and do it her own way, regardless of the benefits of doing it a different way. At her worst, Kayt is cynical, condescending, and rude.
{[History
Kayt grew up in Bellingham, a city in Washington State. She was in high school there, and was visiting friends in Ireland before flying to New Zealand to meet her family for their summer vacation there. Her childhood was fairly uneventful. She went to a Catholic grade school, was a straight-A student, and participated on track and soccer teams through her school's athletic program. She also took a self-defense class her eighth grade year and continued practicing what she learned there through the summer and into high school, knowing that high school could be a bit less safe than her cloistered grade school. She then moved on to high school, where she graduated as a freshman and was going to be a sophomore the next year.
{[Appearance
Kaytanah is tall (5'10") and of an average body type, being strong and somewhat muscular but not stick-thin. Her height makes her awkward, but she uses it when she needs to intimidate people. Her eyes are grayish-blue, and she has a noticeably square jaw.
{[Family
Kaytanah is the oldest of three children, with two younger brothers. Her mother is a lawyer and her father is a Microsoft employee.
{[Occupation
Student
{[Other
Kayt is a nerd who enjoys reading, playing video games, and learning. She is fascinated by Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and the American Civil War, particularly the Battle of Gettysburg. Her artistic side is occasionally expressed, and she is adept at figuring out problems quickly and solving issues with logic. She hates hot weather and loves the rain, especially because it's so common where she lives. Swimming is an intense hate of hers. She is not scared of spiders. She despises weakness above all things, and considers crying, whining, and failure to be unacceptable because they are signs of weakness to her. (this character is based off of myself, so everything in the personality category is precisely accurate.)

{[Full Name
Laura Knight
{[Age and Country of Origin
14, England
{[Personality
Laura is considered by most people as a rather strange person. She is usually shy and quiet, and will get out the way without being noticed. However, once she gets to know people and is confident in a group,she can be bossy and sometimes rather hiperactive. She loves animals, especially horses and tigers, reading, writing, watching exciting movies, the LotR and PotC soundtrack and so on.
She is "a bit" obsessed with Lord of the Rings. In any moment in an ordinary conversation, she will pop up with a quote or something related to it. She loves conversations that revolve around LotR.
Her worst fears are snakes. Laura isn't scared by many things, but when she sees a snake she just freezes and panicks. That is pretty much the only thing she is scared of. She likes snow, most other animals, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Carribean, Swords, Bows, axes (whatever is in Lord of the Rings). She dislikes water in any form except for drinking, so she doesn't make a good swimmer. Laura also hates snobby people that think that they are better, and stands up to them, sometimes getting quite rude. She has no interest in boys. They make good friends, but she has never had a boyfriend and never plans to have one.

{[History
Laura was born in England, but moved to Spain at a young age with her mum and brother. She is fluent in both languages, and sometimes skips from the use of one to the other for this reason. She moved house several times, but in all places the education seemed to be rubbish, so her mum sent her to study in New Zealand.
{[Appearance
Laura is quite small and skinny, quite agile and very active. She has long, wavy brown hair and brown eyes. Being quite small, she can fit through small gaps, and always prefers to wear comfortable clothes than actually caring for her appearance. She doesn't care what others think of her, sometimes leading her to be rude aswell.
{[Family
Her dad, grandparents and cousins live in England, and her mum and her brother are still in Spain.
{[Occupation
Lord of the Rings Fan!
{[Other
No
