My grandma always told me about how I would one day 'walk among the stars'. She always went on and on about how the stars lived through me, either in my blood, genetic coding, or natural instinct - somehow I belonged in the night sky. A "twinkling constellation" as she said. She passed away peacefully when I was twelve years old. Six years later, grandma would of wished she had been wrong about me being a star. I think we all would of wished the ---

--- same thing. Everything has been one blurred picture since we've been kidnapped. I think we were kidnapped. They drugged us and took us out of our homes...some kind of secret government or agency - something that people only believed was a conspiracy. They took us by birthdays. But not necessarily by age - most of us all are all relatively the same age - they took us by month and day. Told us it was 'imperative to keep us in order'. They tattooed us. Thick, black lines that made symbols. Zodiac symbols. One that corresponded with our own zodiacs.

They experimented on us - some getting it worse than others. Some had animal DNA injected into them causing them to grow appendages or transform into something that resembles their zodiac. And then when they were finally satisfied...they tossed us into...dropped us off at...some...some place. No one can figure out what it is. What this place is. It's got a beach and an ocean but off in the distance it's not hard to see the unmistakable whiteness of snow and mountains. What sort of place had ---

They gave us equipment. Scary looking weapons to match our scary-looking selves and each of us got a note. A note telling us we were supposed to survive against each other by using the thing they provided for us. We don't know how this works. Some went off by themselves to seek shelter or come up with their own plans. Others formed small teams amongst themselves...but I haven't quite decided what to do yet.

It's a kill or be killed world now. This is my last ---

each character is assigned a
few weapons/devices/helpful
items according to their zodiac.
these enhanced items are a
combination of DNA sensors,
tracers, and miniscule cameras
(so the scientists can observe).
in other words, the weapons
will not work if someone simply
"gives" or "trades" away their
item. the item must be stolen
or the owner killed before it
will work in the hands of
another.

ｔｈｅ ｉｓｌａｎｄ
okay so basically the island is divided up into sections and then subsections (so smaller sections
within the sections if that makes sense o.o) Here I'll put a basic outline of the island. It's pretty
much like a very poorly sewed together mass of land. Like the scientists were sort of just half-
*ssing it. Nothing really makes sense and it's basically so our characters have a large area to
travel on and find supplies/fight wildlife etc. Who knows? Maybe a volcano will erupt and wipe
out half the island guess we'll seeee c;

ｓｅｃｔｉｏｎ ｏｎｅ （ｊｕｎｇｌｅ）

the jungle make up the largest portion of the island.
It mainly exists within the south of the land mass
and may consider it one of the hardest places to
maneuver through. It's a jungle so it's quite easy
to get lost in a place such as this. Despite the
fact it may have more resources available to the
zodiacs, it easily has the most aggressive predators
in the area.
predators ; jaguars, leopards, anacondas, piranhas,
caimans, poison dart frogs, monkeys, ants, tigers,
orangutans, tiger fish, rhinoceros, elephants, few
cobra species

subsections

the beach/ocean
"tree of beginning" (where the zodiacs of team
black eye first wake up)
the falls
the volcano (dormant)

ｓｅｃｔｉｏｎ ｔｗｏ （ｍｏｕｎｔａｉｎ）

the mountain area is the second largest section of
the island. from the icy slopes of mount origin to
the diamond caves below and through the piney
forests to the jungle, there seem to be fewer
resources here than in the jungle but an equal
amount of protection and security within the
caves
predators ; African wild buffalo, gorillas,
mountain lions, cougars, black bears, moose,
big horn sheep, snow leopard, wolves, bobcat

subsections

temperate needleleaf forest
"cave of origins" (where the zodiacs of team
andromeda first wake up)
half-frozen lake
the hot springs

x

ｓｅｃｔｉｏｎ ｔｈｒｅｅ （ｐｌａｉｎｓ）

a portion of land that lies just north of the jungle
that almost connects the jungle and mountain
regions together. In order to go into the jungle
area however, you can take a route that normally
passes through a highly predated area, or go
through the marsh/swamp. Dangerous cliffs and
possible drop offs can either lead someone into
the mountain region, or do their possible death.
predators ; mountain lions, various species of
deer, small rodents, wild horses, cheetahs, lions,
hyenas, elephants, rhinoceros, wildebeest, foxes,
hogs, ostriches

subsections

swamp
badland valley
rock formations
watering hole

more places can be discovered such as a desert but for now, we'll leave it with
these c: when we get more into the roleplay and if you're character happens to
stumble across something, maybe a mine or desert we'll add it on here c;

Have you ever had one of those sensations between being awake and asleep where you're consciously elsewhere
yet are completely able to feel your own body back in the "real" world? Maybe you can even make your hand or
possibly your leg twitch, but you feel numb and senseless? No? Yes? Maybe so? Well regardless, that's how Keenan
was feeling in his current state. He could feel his body. He knew he was laying down. But it wasn't in a bed or on
a couch. It wasn't hard enough to be flooring so he assumed he was outside somewhere. The scientists had often
drugged the teens before moving them, a drug that paralyzed the body and detached the mind so they could be
moved without a fight. But this was...different somehow. He wasn't swimming through his thoughts in a thick,
syrupy confusion of jumbled dreams and visions. This was clearer, sharper. Like he was fully awake and just
couldn't get his eyes to open. He could feel but...it seemed none of his other senses were working. 'Maybe I'm
just asleep. This is me sleeping and I'm going to wake up. And I'll wake up and be in bed and my mom's going to
hug me and tell me how glad she is to have me back. Maybe even Dad will too.' But even Keenan knew better
than that. You weren't allowed to think those kinds of things in the institution because it was merely giving one-
self a false sense of security. Everyone knew they were stuck there and that their parents weren't ever going to
go get them.

'Stop distracting yourself'. Keenan ordered himself, trying to hone his mind back to attention. He had a bad habit
of letting it wander carelessly around. He had plenty of time to do that when they had him locked up. But Keenan
couldn't shake the feeling that he wasn't in the same place anymore; that he was away from the painfully bright
white walls of the institution.

Little by little, Keenan regained his senses. He found the more he tried to move his body or hear or smell or see,
the more he was actually able to move, hear, smell, and see. His sense of hearing came to him first and, instead
of getting the deadly quiet noise he expected, there was the loud chattering of birds and animals and...monkeys?
Keenan couldn't think of anyplace in the institution that had monkeys but - for all he knew - they could of
ordered a new shipment in just for them. The scientists had loved to do things "just for them", though they
weren't normally pleasant things. When his sense of smell returned he got the overwhelming smell of dirt and
water. And then when he could see, it all made sense.

'A jungle? How the hell did they afford a jungle?' He was lying on his back, fingers and toes barely moving, and wondered
how they had gotten there. 'Surely they wouldn't drop us off in the Amazon and call it a day? We caused them
to owe way too much money for that...'

Keenan wasn't sure how much time had passed between him gaining his senses and being able to move again. At
first Keenan was grateful to have them returned but once he realized he was in a jungle and made the connection
to how many different predators live in the jungle? He would of rather suffered in blissful ignorance. Being unable
to move in such a dangerous area made all of his natural instincts go completely nuts but he managed to hold on
and not get eaten until his ability to move was restored.

The first thing he did when he got his legs back? He stood up. For a moment he was too busy brushing himself off
and making sure every inch of himself was unharmed first before he realized where exactly he was standing. Not
too far off from him was a massive tree with thick branches that curved and twisted, spreading out wide and
growing up. Almost appearing like an inverted umbrella - only covered in green, damp moss. And then Keenan
realized there were a few of the other teenagers scattered around the tree as well. Most of them laying flat on
their backs, legs and arms spread wide, like Keenan's had been. He tallied them up in his head. Five. Six including
me. 'Where are the other six?' Everyone knew there were twelve zodiacs. (Even though not everyone knew who all
the zodiacs were).

He wandered around the outskirts of the tree for a moment, kicking up some dirt with the scuff of his shoe. 'Well..
what now?' Though most normal people would of probably checked on the others first, Keenan was too busy lost
in his own thoughts of boredom before he noticed yet another small yet important detail. The bookbags, trinkets,
and devices lined up against the base of the tree. Each item had a small symbol somewhere on it, signifying who's
it was. And attached somewhere to one of the three devices belonging to a person was a small note.

Dear Zodiac,
You are probably wondering why you are here. No worries, my friend. You're experimenting and testing days are
officially over. We believe you are now ready for the final challenge to begin. And the winner of this challenge
will be able to regain their freedom.

How to win? Well that question can be answered rather simply.

Survive.

Such a small word that holds such power for you, yes? Survival does not always just mean building fires and
keeping minimal amounts of nutrition for yourself. It is about keeping your sanity. Keeping yourself together
in hostile, unusual environments.

Have fun my little constellations...You will be hearing from me soon,
The Director.

Keenan cursed under his breath, crumbling the wad of paper up and tossing it into the abyss of greens around
him. "Lovely. This is just great. Sure, we can win our freedom back but how the hell am I supposed to "survive?"'
Keenan grumbled under his breath, deciding he'd mess with the pile of weapons and crap later. Instead he made
his way over to one of the five people (or is it teammates now?) on the ground. Virgo. The Maiden. In other words,
one of the only people here that Keenan even knew their name to.

He poked her hesitantly in the shoulder with his finger. Once. Twice. Looking for any signs of movement. "Psst.
You awake in there? You won't be much help to me - er - us, if your dead."

_________________________________________________________________

All Anastasia could see was fire, but she couldn't feel it. Well, it was warm, light, perhaps, but it didn't hurt. The strange thing was, Anastasia knew it should hurt, and that's what was bothering her. She knew something was wrong, but her mind wouldn't take the step to figure out what. And so she sat, engulfed by flames. She could see shapes in the flames, shapes she knew, and could recognize. She saw the scientists, and knives and arrows, swinging back and forth up and down, the endless dance of combat. Anastasia watched as she saw herself, fighting, killing even. Usually memories like this kept her up at night, kept her from sleeping. But everything seemed to be...okay. The flames licked and caressed her arm like a forgotten dog, but when she turned to attend its needs, a sharp pain bit her hand. The flames were spreading, becoming volatile.

The pictures were no longer liquid images, but solid figures, leering in towards her like demons, cornering her. Anastasia did not like to be cornered; she didn't even like to be around people. Stumbling backwards into the blackness, she tried to run from the shapes in the flames, but found that it was too much. Her feet were glued to the ground. Or was it the ceiling? Nothing was making sense, everything was too much! Anastasia had to get out, be free. Break free!

Brown eyes snapped open, flicking wildly back and forth. She couldn't see or feel anything; the only sensation was the blackness of a dream, but somehow she still felt awake, and as though the flames were still around her. Breathing heavily, Anastasia tried to sit up, and found that she felt air against her face; she had achieved motion! So, not a dream, just dark. Very dark, she thought, holding out a hand. She could barely make out the outline of her slender fingers. Seconds ticked by slowly as her eyes adjusted to the dim light of what appeared to be a cave. ...a cave? The thought didn't quite process. There are no caves in the facilities.

Pushing herself to her feet, Anastasia found that she was still slightly dizzy, and almost fell to the ground again. Irritated by her own confusion, Anastasia merely stood still, observing all that could be gained in the dim light. Light! The fact that she could see a few things led her to believe that there was light somewhere, meaning that there was an exit. Turning slowly around, Anastasia tried to pinpoint exactly where the light was coming from. Use the fire, a voice whispered in her ear. Anastasia looked at her own hands, shaking slightly. She could light a match with no strike, and yet she hesitated. After her nightmare, fire was kind of the last thing Anastasia wanted to deal with presently. But it seemed to be the only option. Clicking her fingers, a tiny flame appeared, casting a dim light over what appeared to be a great cavern.

Yes, a cave. Her suspicions confirmed, Anastasia began to walk forward. She could see others, strew across the floor like she had been, stirring and shifting slightly in the dim glow of the outside light, coming from...somewhere. Somewhere close, but somewhere she didn't know, all the same. On her way through the passage way, she passed what looked like five other teenagers, each barely recognizable in the light as another zodiac. Is this some kind of sick game? she thought, finally catching sight of bright light and a cool breeze. Extinguishing her flame, she headed up towards the entrance, intrigued. The others would wake up on their own, they didn't need her. Plus, she might find some sort of helpful hint as to why they were even here in the first place at the entrance to the cave.

What she first saw hurt her eyes. It was bright white, a gleam of frost over crystalline water, and cool air. Everything was so...cold. Silent. Tranquil. Disgusting. Anastasia felt as though the silence was pressing on her ears and face, making her restless and irritable. Then again, not much didn't make her irritable. Suddenly, Anastasia felt tired, as though she'd just been on a hike up a mountain. Maybe she had. It looked almost as though they were resting at the top of one. Sitting down against the entrance of the cave, Anastasia closed her eyes, almost wishing for her nightmare of fire earlier. Almost. Opening one eye, she caught sight of a collection of satchels and various weapons. The loot piqued her curiosity of course, but she decided to wait for the others before going for the things. Although Anastasia hated to admit it, even she needed help sometimes. And this time, it was help comprehending the enormity of the situation. The scientists may have done some terrible things, but they had never done this, or anything remotely like it. It was almost too much to handle all at once.

❝ Compared to the normal drugs they used in the facility, this was an entirely worse sensation. Her hearing, after being enhanced by the scientists, was the first of her senses to return, and she new something was wrong the moment she heard wildlife in the distance. There were no birds in the lab, but as much as she wanted to open her eyes, stand, and get a feel for the new environment. Kolina just couldn't will herself to do much more but wiggle her fingers and toes and listen. Her keen sense of sight was the next on the checklist of senses that were cut off for quite a few dreadful moments. Of course, she was somewhat glad the first voice she heard was a familiar one. The Leo, Keenan. She wasn't very pleased that he was poking her and asking if she was dead, but at least it was him and not some scientist. She kept her eyes closed, but cleared her throat before she spoke.

"You could sound a little more concerned darling. What if I had been dead?" That was her response as she managed to lift herself up from her sleeping position and into a sitting one. An expression that had been a smirk as she retorted, now turned into her tell-tale look of irritation. The way she set her jaw and narrowed her eyes ever so slightly let anyone know she was annoyed, but didn't wish to voice it. Kolina had already figured out that she wasn't within the facility she'd grown so accustomed to over the years. However, the vast greenery of a jungle was certainly one of the last things she'd expected.

She knew this wasn't a nice vacation, not a perfect getaway from the tests and the scientists and the overly white sterile walls. Not all of the zodiacs were accounted for, first of all. Keenan and herself were the only two awake, but there were four more asleep around her. There was another face she recognized, the Scorpio, Piper. She didn't comment on this just yet, looking over the other three. Kolina didn't know what kind of test this was, if this was whatever they'd been preparing them for, but the knot of dread tying itself in her stomach said she didn't want to find out. She made herself stand, even though aching muscles protested it.

Kolina glanced over at the items before returning her gaze to her friend. "Well then, since you're the early bird, do you happen to know where the 'ell we are, and what exactly we're doing here." She normally tried to keep her accent as nothing more than a twinge. People would only notice it if they caught it on certain words. The fact she was letting it go now was another sign that she wasn't entirely pleased with the situation. She paced around the tree, being extra careful not to step on the other sleeping figures. She took in what she could see and hear from this vantage point in the shade of the large tree.

Finding herself in some.. sort.. of dream, Piper found herself helpless, unable to move. It was simply dark. Maybe she wasn't dreaming. Maybe in fact she was awake and they made her loose.. everything. Or maybe she was dead... that didn't seem right to her, she could feel she was alive, indeed one-hundred percent alive.. or more like eighty.. but still alive! She could feel, that was different. She could feel the hard ground under her back, the.. twig?! Pushing into her head. No way, it couldn't be. They didn't randomly have sharp twigs in the lab. It felt tangled into her hair, a normally quite painful feeling but it was all dulled out. Her hearing had come back. Very faintly she could hear things. Like she was underwater and far above the water something was calling out. She couldn't decipher the sound. It didn't sound like people talking - more like animals making chit-chat. "I don't understand whats happening to me. " She thought to herself. "I'm scared to open my eyes." She added. She was having a full conversation contemplating whether she'd open her eyes or not.

She counted to herself. On three she'd open her deep brown eyes. She twitched her fingers. Everything was slowly getting more feeling. Slowly. Key word. Slowly. It kinda scared her - why did they drug them out this way? It was a way stronger drug than the one they usually used. She felt.. something crawl over her right hand. She opened her eyes. Taking a minute to realize there was a giant tree draping over her. "What is that?" She asked herself. "Ooh oh oh, I remember, It's a cow. Yeah, that's right. A cow." She thought. She was still a bit.. loopy, I guess you could say but she was actually tired so she was kinda dazed and seriously thought it was a cow. The tree seemed to be huge, and it was almost like a mirage, it was moving. Piper was going cross eyed until she blinked and it wore off. The tree back to the way it should have been. Her eyes must not have been totally ready to see things. Or she was just going crazy. She realized since she opened her eyes she hadn't taken a single breath. She flinched and took a deep breath. "Whats on my hand..?" She also forgot something was crawling on her hand. She could only feel it when it touched her fingers or wrist. She slowly moved her head to the right, looking at her hand wrapped and wrapped until it practically had no feeling. It was wrapped so tightly. Because it hurt to move her hand too much, she had to wrap it. She stared. A big, fuzzy, black spider just crawling around her hand. She stared at the spider for some time, only to realize, it indeed was a spider. She shot up, it took her a minute to just completely stand up but once she did she shook her arm about and breathed heavily once the spider flew into the green grassy area around her, hopefully never to be seen again.


Her arms spread out slightly, she backed up, taking in the beautiful scenery. Monkeys! That was the sound she heard! Monkeys, exotic sounding birds, though they probably weren't all that exotic, to her anything other than a lab sounded exotic. Although there had to be a reason they were dropped of here and not home. Just had to be. She mourned for the day she could leave and go home, reuniting with her hopefully, not dead family.

She looked at the branches which just stretched everywhere, moss and vines and leaves hanging off the large twisting branches. This little patch of land had only a tree and was surrounded by water. She could faintly hear frogs chirping and croaking, just faintly and very few. If she hadn't been here for what was most likely a test she'd actually enjoy her stay here. It appeared there were bags lined up against the tree, all of which had symbols of the zodiac on them. Well, only six of the twelve zodiac. "Where.. are the others?" She counted the people, one, two, three, four, five, and counting herself, six. If she wasn't mistaken she was almost certain there were twelve zodiac! So.. why were there only six? Maybe the other six were still in the lab.. maybe the other six met a terrible fate. Maybe the other six were just somewhere else. Crossing her arms, and legs, still standing. Kolina, Was talking to a guy, who seemed to be the first one awake. "I'm right there with you to figure where the hell we are, and while we're at it, whats up with the bags?" She said/asked, gritting her teeth. She took a step forward, looking at the bag with the 'Scorpio' symbol. Very tempted to open it, yet she wasn't sure if she should open it just yet.
