Rated Mature for language, the potential for Mature scenarios (we've all seen the Walking Dead, right?), and gore
Crikey! After a plane crash, a group of people are stranded in the Australian Outback! There they have to contend with the weather, finding water and shelter, the wildlife, and worst of all, M A G P I E S. That's right. It's springtime down under, and that means magpies. (Note: This roleplay is mainly for fun, and is a light-hearted poking at how horrible Australia is. Not meant to be offensive.) Use the form below to make a character!

Spoiler: Accepted Characters
Spoiler: Descan Fry - SaltyIrishman
Name: Descan Fry
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Occupation: Australian Field Guide
Nationality: Australian
Appearance: A tall, tanned man with short hair. He wears the standard clothes for a field guide, khaki cargo pants, hiking boots, a white t-shirt, khaki cargo vest, and a slouch hat. Muscular, but not hit-the-gym-every-day beefy, just lean and strong. Short brown hair, and warm brown eyes. No facial hair.
Personality: Kinda goofy, knowledgable, cautious when it comes to survival. Slow to anger, usually intervenes in arguements. He'll catch and hold anything, Steve Irwin-style.
Stuff in their bag: A bag of trail mix, and a water bottle. Also a phone charger and a flashlight.
Phobias: Magpies, like any reasonable Australian
Skills: Wilderness survival, rock climbing, catching animals, tracking
Weaknesses: His calm demeanor angers a lot of people, especially those looking for a reaction. He can be loyal to a fault, willing to take a cassowary to the intestine for people he feels responsible for, and that isn't good, especially if the only wilderness guide gets disemboweled.
Injuries: Cut on his upper right shoulder from metal.
Other: Can identify and track any animal that walks the Outback.
Spoiler: Ying "ZZ" Zi - Bee Bear
Name: Ying "ZZ" Zi
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Occupation: Recently unemployed journalist and aspiring writer.
Nationality: Chinese British.
Appearance: She's of medium height with an athletic build and sunkissed skin. Her ears are adorned with multiple piercings, and her jet black hair is cut in a short, messy bob. https://mymodernmet.com/wp/wp-conten...incesses-5.jpg
Personality: ZZ is considered to be carefree and relaxed most of the time, but those closest to her know that underneath her calm exterior beats the heart of a true fusspot. She cares deeply about things (mostly unimportant, to all others but her) and people, sometimes to the point of obsession. She's a great friend to have on your side, willing to go to the ends of the earth if you only ask.
Stuff in their bags: The standard stuff; a couple of days worth of clothes, two 1960's trash sci fi novels, some very melty chocolates, a cell phone, laptop and half a dozen empty notebooks.
Phobias: None.
Skills: A green belt in karate. Great stamina thanks to a passion for marathon running. Some basic camping skills such as starting a fire from scratch and knowledge on water purification. Excellent handwriting. Great taste in music.
Weaknesses: No sense of direction whatsoever.
Injuries: A bruise to the forehead and a mild concussion to go with it.
Other: She's a do-er, not a wait-er. Sitting still doing nothing is the one sure-fire way to make her blow her top.
Spoiler: Priscilla Ann Pendergast - Nope
Name: Priscilla Ann Pendergast
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Occupation: None
Nationality: American
Appearance: Blond hair (naturally brunette) that cascades in waves to just past shoulder length. Slim, but wider at the hips that she wants to be, stands at 5'5". Hazel eyes that tend toward green.

Her ears and navel are pierced and sport diamonds.
Spoiler: Personality
Priscilla is the youngest of three, with two older brothers. Her father owns several hotels, an orchestra, a football team (american football), and runs an oil refinery out of Texas.

Nationality: British
Appearance: https://i.ibb.co/kJrnMXr/43726847-55...51008103-n.jpg

Spoiler: Chad Northcutt - Jeremor
Name: Chad Northcutt
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Occupation: Musician
Nationality: American
Appearance: Long and stylized dirty blonde hair, with a perfect chin of eternally scruffy stubble, and piercing blue eyes. Chad has worked very hard on his image over the years. He only wears nice jeans and the 'coolest' t shirts, usually with his acoustic guitar strapped over one shoulder.
Personality: Chad has gotten by on looks and charisma for most of his life, but that doesn't mean he's dumb. The one thing he's been focused on is his career, and he will do anything to make it big in the music industry, even if that meant moving to Australia. Sometimes arrogant and childish, Chad has a good heart beneath his rockstar persona he tries to put on.

Rules:
No god-modding, Mary/Gary Sues
Respect other players, no bullying, no killing or controlling the other players characters
Please try to be literate. Use correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Write a paragraph at least.
Be realistic in your characters, actions, and wildlife. No 'He punched the cassowary in the face and it ran away, terrified'. Cassorwaries are death with a bone helmet. They will kill you to e a t y o u. They aren't scared of a punch. And no 'Stuff in their bag: A chainsaw, a shotgun, and a lightsaber'. No. Customs exist. The ONLY way for you to have a gun, which is a handgun, is if you are escorting a prisoner to another prison, Lost style.
Fade to black with the mature scenarios
No chatting in the IC thread. That one is for roleplaying. This'n's for chat/submitting characters.
Looks like you've got an awesome roleplay started, SaltyIrishman! If you would like to advertise for more members, here are some ways to do so!
First off, there's the Roleplay of the Week. This is displayed on the website's home page as well as on the side bar of the forum. If you think it might help then we implore you to do so! We are always looking for new RP's to advertise. (No, really. We are. Always.) If you would like a little bit more information, or even an example, you can view that here.
One of the requirements for a RP of the Week submission is that you have a banner. If you're not artistically inclined, however, do not fear! We have several amazing artists on the site who will make one for you. Simply post here.
Next, you can post in this thread and the staff will display your role-play in their signatures.
Also feel free to post in the Roleplay Directory. This is a thread that anyone can view at any time to see roleplays that are currently seeking and accepting members.
Hey Irish! I just added that this was the OOC thread and your M rating to the thread title! Make sure to include why it's rated M in the first post (language, potential for mature scenarios, etc!)
I am so down with this. I recently got a snack crate from Australia so I got the foods in my belly and the country on my mind. I'll throw up a character sheet sometime today hopefully.
Crikey! OOC (M)
