*I haven't made an SB in a while, so bare with me.*

The Beginning

In the middle of the night, the doorbell rings. When your parents open the door, someone starts explainging something to them. When your parents step aside, a ton of peolpe pour into your house. After finding you, they grab you and bring you outside, and they put you into the back of a van. They then start explaining something to you.

What You Need To Do

Top secret information is being revealed to you - the world as we know it is going to end. That is, if you don't help. You were chosen for a specific reason (whether it be the fact that you're a braniac, logical, very strong, know a lot about the Earth, whatever you want).

They also tell you that there will be several others with you. All around the same age. They chose teenagers, because they seem to be the only ones whose lungs can handle it.

You are being sent down into the Earth. But don't be fooled, the Earth isn't really what they teach you in science class.

You and the others being sent with you must go down to the center of the Earth and stop what's causing the Earth's destruction.

Many have gone down there, but haven't survived, haven't come back. You are the first group of teens to go down.

What They Aren't Telling You Yet

One of you are going to have to die in order to save the rest of world.

History: His father is a contributer to WikiLeaks, he has been since Luke has been 6 and due to this Luke got really intrested in goverment projects from the age of 8. His mother is a professor at Cambridge University teaching psychology. Luke got intrested in to helping people with there thoughts and thought it would be quite useful to know the habits and characteristics of people, so started researching on the subject online. (Though this started at a later age of 12) He has been taking courses which he couldn't do due to his age (this was still at 12) online, most of the time he lies about his age to get the more advanced or a restricted course. When he turned 14 when he chose his subjects it took his 1 month to decide. He took up Psychology, Physics, Chemistry, Social Studies and I.C.T. He still takes extra subjects online and now is glad that he can get qualifations. He wants to be fully qualified when he gets older so he can get any job he wants.

Also Luke's mother doesn't get back to 6:30 and is very busy when she gets home, marking work, getting her next lesson ready and tending to motherly duties. So he has learnt to take care of himself alot and can handle any situation if he just takes the time to put his mind to it.

Other: He has a gadget, similar to a penknife just with modern gadgets. It can morph into the object using it's blocks. (This may come in useful throughout the storybook) It can become smaller and larger and can go small enough to fit into pocket size. It can respond to motions and voice response. It also has a hologram mode to use alternatively to a screen.

Reserve female spot! Question: Can she be really good with animals, or something?

Yes she can, but you might want to expand animals to living creatures, seeing that you'll see more strsnge creatures than animals, due to the oxygen thing.

JOIN PEOPLE! Please! i will love you forever!

Name (full name please, and put your nickname, if you have one, in quotes): Isabella Dawn Eldon (called "Dawn" by everyone except her mother)

Age (13-18 please): 16

Appearance (Written and picture please): She has dark brown hair that reaches her waist and a dark complexion. Eyes bluer than the bluest sky look out from under thick lashes. She is around 5' 2". (Five feet two inches). She likes to wear long princess-style dresses, but will wear jeans and a polo shirt if she has to. She often wears blue.
(I can't find a good picture, is that alright?)

Personailty: She is a devoted Christian. Friendly, but a little uncomfortable around children her own age. She has an incurable love for adventure and puzzles. In danger she is able to think clearly. She has a morbid, uncontrolable fear of spiders, but she can handle just about anything else. She is a self-proclaimed optimist; she will avoid looking at the dark side as long as she can. She will also avoid a conflict if possible.

Why were you chosen: She has a good head for solving puzzles and mysteries, and she keeps her head in dangerous or stressful situations.

Skills/Talents/Strengths: Solving puzzles, staying calm, looking on the bright side, singing, and flying an airplane.

Weaknesses/Flaws: Fear of spiders, fear of losing her father, over-optimism, and asthma (she has never told anyone, and so has never gone to a doctor. She is only guessing that it is asthma)

Likes/Dislikes: She loves flying, doing puzzles, praying, and singing. She dislikes spiders and fire.

History: Dawn was born on an airplane flying from England to America. Her father, Peter Eldon, was an FBI agent. Her mother, Damiana Ramirez, was a model. Both of her parents jobs kept them traveling, so rather than put their daughter in school just to take her out again, the Eldons homeschooled Dawn all the way through 12th grade. Her earliest memory is being on a plane when she was six. The plane caught fire, but they somehow managed to get all the passengers out safely. The six year girl that she was sobbed with fear when she realized they were going to jump from the plane. "I can't, Daddy!" She screamed. "I'll fall, I'll fall!" She has never forgotten the look on her father's face when he took her into his arms and said, "No you you won't. Just hold on tight to me, and I won't ever let you fall." Dawn hasn't been afraid to jump since, even after her father dissapeared while doing something for the government.

Other: I was thinking that maybe Dawn's father dissapeared trying to save the world in the center of the earth. Would that be alright? And maybe they could find him alive(?)

Name: Jessie Jay Albany "JJ"

Age: 17

Appearance: She's tall, at 5'9'' and has a medium build. She's got some muscle on her, mostly in the legs, and has a thinner waist. She has warm brown eyes and long natural light blonde hair. Her hair is usually a bit tangled from the wind, and the fact she brushes it about once a week. She is tanned from all the time she spends in the sun. She wears mostly jeans and a simple top, and has never really been one for wearing makeup. She usually wears sneakers or cowboy boots, though she prefers the later. She usually smells like the woods. She's not really aware of her own beauty, and is perfectly happy that way.



Personality: On the positive side, Jessie's calm and easygoing. She doesn't like fighting, though will stand up for what she believes in. She usually goes with the flow. She's very active and loves a good adventure. Jessie loves making people smile and is great at cheering people up if they get down. On the negative side, however, she is always dissatisfied with something. She can't stand sitting still for a long time and when she is having a bad day she can be a bit harsh. She can over-react to things sometimes, though will apologize immediately after. Overall she is a generally helpful person and tries to be as friendly as possible, even if she is having a bad day. She is a loyal friend and tries to keep everyone happy, and is always there to make people smile.

Why were you chosen: her knowledge about nature

Skills: she is great with ropes and rock climbing, and also pretty good at horseback riding
Talents: she can juggle, and has a pretty singing voice
Strengths: she knows a lot about the difference between 'safe' and 'unsafe' drinking water and other nature related stuffs

Flaws: She can't spell to save her life, and she's dyslexic. She can't write or read much at all.
Weaknesses: She tries too hard to make everyone happy and she's non violent.

Likes: Jessie likes the sun, summer, the color green, horses, being outside and dogs.
Dislikes: Reading, writing, math and school in general.

History: She was born to two Park Rangers in Montana. She lived almost completely outdoors from the time she was three until she was about five. Then they had to put her in school. When her parents found out she was dyslexic they took her out of school and 'homeschooled' her. They never really did anything, though, and let her spend her days outside. When she was thirteen they started letting her be a trail guide for the many parks around where they lived. She has been a trail guide since then and never had a formal education. She does know a bit about some basic history, though, from the movies her dad and her watch on Mondays if there are no trips that day.

History and Beliefs: Her grandmother (on her mother’s side) is Shoshone Native American, so Jessie has some of that influence in her life. Jessie and her grandmother were best friends and spent a lot of time together, and Jessie can speak some of the Shoshone language. Also, her mother took a partial belief in the two part nature-based religion of the Shoshones and passed it down to her daughter. Basically, her religion is based on the fact that there is a god (or Great Spirit), but all living creatures have spirits, and about finding the balance between humans and those spirits. There isn't really a text for her religion. Jessie finds the ideals of Christianity ridiculous.

Other: She is definitely up for love.

If we don't get another character by tomorrow, I'm going to start this anyway

"I apologize for disturbing you and your family, but you have been chosen for a top secret mission. We have been studying you for a few weeks now and we know that you will be perfect for this task.

"You have a special ability that we see useful to our mission.

"The mission, which must forever remain top secret and never get out into the public, will require you to go down into the Earth. I have spent years studying the inside of the Earth, and will inform you now that it is nothing like what you are taught in school. There is a whole entire world down there. But the only thing is, only teenagers have the capability of surviving down there. The air may hurt your lungs for a few days, but nothing in the air will harm you.

"A few months ago I discovered that there is something down there, something with a force so geat and so powerful, it could destroy the entire world and neighboring planets. What it is, I have yet to discover.

"I need you and several others to go down there and stop it. As you are traveling, I will be furthering my studies as much as I can in order to find out what the source is.

"Normally, we wouldn't send anyone down if we didn't know what the source was, but we are limited on time."

***You then arrive at Dr.Tyler's lab, set up near the place you are being sent down***

"The guards will show you where you will being staying tonight. I hope you don't mind sharing with the others, the lab wasn't really meant to house or accomodate anyone more than myself.

"You will be woken up at seven tomorrow morning, so I suggest you get some rest. You have a lot to do to prepare for going down tomorrow.

***You are then led to the room***

Isabella Dawn Eldon

Dawn wasn't sure how to react. Things had happened too quickly, leaving her with the feeling of having been on a merry-go-round. Dr. Jacobs seemed like a nice man... But as her father used to say, first impressions are not always correct.
The room was small, with a white linolium floor. It felt more like a hospital than a room for sleeping in. On one side of the room were four fold-up cots; on the other, one. In the center was a metal table with what looked like a jumble of microscopes, test tubes, GPSs and all sorts of stuff she didn't recognize.
As Dawn scanned the room she gave a sigh of relief. She was the first to arrive. That meant she could meet "the others" one at a time instead of all together. Maybe, just maybe, that would make it easier.
She picked a cot in the corner and gingerly sat on it's edge. These things were so uncomfortable, but better than sleeping on bare floor. She ran her fingers through her thick, dark-brown hair and sighed. She hadn't brought any logic puzzles. How was she supposed to go to sleep without doing a logic puzzle first?
Drawing her feet up on the cot, she couldn't help laughing at herself. Here she was, complaining about logic puzzles, when she hadn't even had time to dress! She was still wearing the blue dress Mamasita had made her for Christmas.
Dawn buried her head into the cot's pillow and groaned. "Oh, Christo, what am I getting myself into? I don't know why I ever agreed to this. Heavenly Father, You know I don't like meeting other people." she stopped and her mind went back to four weeks ago, the last time she had seen her earthly father. He had been called away on some secret assignment for the government and had not returned. "I know, Lord. I agreed to come because I thought I might find mí papa. Please help us, Lord. Help me find Daddy and help me trust You."
Dawn sat up as she heard the sound of footsteps. Standing in the doorway was the first of "the others".

Name (full name please, and put your nickname, if you have one, in quotes): Phineas Lewis “Fin” Grimes

Age (13-18 please): 14

Appearance (Written and picture please): I can’t find a good picture… I probably don’t know where to look, but if you really really would like me to find one I’ll keep looking on the internet or whatever, but for now I’ll give you a description: Fin has short wavy brown hair with slight red highlights. His skin is olive toned and lightly freckled under his eyes. He’s about 5-foot-5. His abs and arms are toned, and he has greenish-grey eyes

Personality: He has a goofy attitude. Not really the outgoing type, but not closed off either… just sort of neutral. He loves to laugh, and make others laugh. He’s pretty intelligent, although most people don’t know it.

Why were you chosen: Fin was chosen mostly because of his physique. He’s very strong and fast. (I hope those traits will be helpful in the center of the Earth) But he was also chosen because he’s smart enough not to do anything stupid on this important journey to save the Earth.

Skills/Talents/Strengths: He’s physically strong and fast, and although his IQ is significantly lower then some of the other people who were chosen, he isn’t stupid. Also, he can play the guitar.

Weaknesses/Flaws: Fin’s main weaknesses are that he’s compulsively lazy, he has difficulty in serious situations, and he can sometimes be too violent.

Likes/Dislikes: He likes the outdoors and animals, as well as video games. Pretty much what he likes best is chilling out. He can’t stand people that act superior to him, or lie. (he happens to be a dreadful liar… even if he wanted to he couldn’t) Sometimes he responds to things that upset him with anger and violence.

History: Fin is the youngest of three children, with two older sisters, one at collage and one married with a baby. His mother has always been strict, but at the same time she’s never expressed much interest in him, so long as he behaves and does well in school. His dad works fulltime… sometimes more then that, and he makes a lot of money at his job as an architect. Fin isn’t very close to either of them... in fact, he has very negative feelings towards them.

Other: None... I... think......


(Er, I hope I’m still aloud to join… I noticed yall kind of just started… and that your a tad short on boys )

Jessie Jay Albany "JJ"

I wasn't particularly please about being pulled out of the house when me and my dad were watching a movie on the history of Greece, but once Dr. Tyler explained everything it made sense. Then again, it could be all a bunch of lies. Mom never trusted doctors, and grandma even less. They were a bunch of liberals, she told me, and liberals could never be trusted. I had worse ideas of what they could actually be doing. For all I know we were going to be experimented on. As much as I hate to admit it, I was scared.

Two large, angry looking guards escorted me down to the room me and the others would be sharing. I tried to ask questions, but they either gave me and answer so vague that it was totally useless or they didn't know. I gave up after a few rounds. The guards paused in the doorway, then walked off.

I walked in the room and looked at the girl lying on the cot who was apparently talking to 'god'. I don't know why Christians did that. If their god was so great, couldn't he just hear what you were thinking? I shrugged the thought off, and then went to take a seat in the cot opposite hers.

"So you're going on the mission too?" I asked, putting air quotes around 'mission'. She just nodded in response. I slid my bag off my shoulder and then began to rifle through it. "I'm Jessie, but you can call me JJ." I said, not looking up from my bag.

"I'm Isabella, you can call me Dawn." She said. I held out my hand, and she shook it.

"Well, it's nice to meet you." I took a ball of twine out of my bag with some beads and began to braid it into a bracelet. Dawn watched with interest, and so I explained what I was doing. "I'm making one for all of us. It's a Native style bracelet, it's supposed to bring good luck. From what I've been told, we're going to need it."

Isabella Dawn Eldon

"It's really pretty." Dawn said.
"Thank you." JJ replied without looking up.
Dawn almost sighed. Once again, she couldn't think of a thing to say. Would she ever learn how to make friends? Adults she could talk to. Anyone much older than her, or much younger, she had no problem with. But everytime she came into contact with someone around her age, it was like her tongue and her stomach were both tied up in knots.
Dawn lay down again and stared up at the white ceiling. She knew she needed to get some sleep, but she felt even less tired than she had before she went to bed that night. She rubbed the soft flannel of her night gown and this time she did sigh. She really needed to get some sleep. It was getting harder to breath, and that usually only happened when she was exhausted. She wasn't wheezing-- yet. But that would come soon enough if she didn't get some rest. And if she started wheezing, they would find out about her breathing problem and not send her down to the center of the earth.
A nagging thought said that would be a good thing. If the air was strange down there, then with her breathing problem she would be a liability to the team. Would her ability to solve puzzles be enough to compensate for that? There was only one way to tell. Wait and see. That is, if they ever did go down to the center. If it wasn't just a trick. She would just have to trust GOD.
"JJ? What do you think about Dr. Jacobs? I mean, do you think he's telling the truth?"

Elodi:

"Of course he isn't." I said, making myself noticed.

"It's just not logical. A world inside of a world? Get real. We're probably here for some weird test or something."

Caramella:

Coming up behind the girl talking about this being fake, I replied "What are you talking about? Of course it's real. I mean, he took us away from our parents and our home, that's not something you can just do. They would go to jail for testing on us.

"Think of the adventure, the danger! This will be so fun!"

*Sorry it's short, kind of in a rush*

Luke Cooper

I was surprised at this. Even I didn't know anything about it. Before I knew it I was in a back of a van with my backpack, which, luckily contained all my gadgets and essentials. I walked into a room were a few others were discussing, the mission, I think. I stepped into the room to hear some doubts about this been real. I stopped, the van is probably been monitored. I got out my black box, my gadget I made myself, I said to it "Security check." The screen came up with 4 cameras and 8 bugs. I then pressed the touch screen to disable security. I saw the numbers go down to zero each and then I put it back in my pocket. I didn't know who these people were but I trusted them if they were on the mission. Adults, I didn't trust. I didn't want them monitoring our conversations or plans. "Right, all the cameras and bugs are disabled now, we can talk freely." I hoped they'd thank me, but honestly, I just did it to show off. Why would they need to talk in private, all there is to bother talking about is the mission.
