Vesuvios - Accepting (Still on)

SirTobes · 2012-04-15T15:20:14Z

I run as fast as I can, my legs pumping and my heart beating like drums. I can only think of one thing to do, get out of here. The ash is pouring down and I can see children crying for their mothers and fathers. Our world is crumbling, everything I grew up with is crashing down around us and we can't explain it. Flame and dirt is rising from the mountain and falling to the ground. I dart across a stepping stone crosswalk. I'm out of my street, and I'm very lost. Everyone is pushing past me, trying to reach safety. A big rock about the size of a house hurtles towards me, I jump away, and land on my face. The shock from the big pile of molten rock flings me onto a cart of fruit and it crushes beneath me. I flip myself over, so I'm lying on the cart staring up at the sky. Another rock is raining down on me, it's much bigger this time. I hurl myself up and try to jump to safety. Another rock is coming down at me and I haven't even got away from the first. The whole stret is burning and covered in ash. The big rock lands. It is like a big wave coming in from the bay. The other one lands. The world goes red, Then black. Then nothing. PLOT: It's August 1st, 79 AD and it's the last month of winter in Pompei. The light snow that did fall is melting and the first buds are starting to show on the trees. But over the horizon comes a dark day, the mountain always known as Vesuvio is starting to tremble. No one suspects anything. IDEA: You live in Pompei in 79 AD. The choice of character (Name, age, family, story) is completely up to you. The storybook starts on 1st August and is quite simple. When the 24th comes you have to get yourself to safety and any family you may have. Live the first twenty three days as a typical day in Pompei. CHARACTERS: This is permission only. So once you have posted your profile wait for a PM from me on an answer. Do not argue with what I have to say. EDIT: This is all accepting, but please try your best to make a nice, interesting and detailed character.I can not stress enough that you mix charcaters up. I hate seeing 10 17 year old girls all in one SB. MIX IT UP. A centurion, a gladiator, an emperors slave (no emperor, that is me), an old man, a bartender, a castaway, a wife fearing for her family's life, a widow, a young lover, a mute little girl, the possibilities are endless! So please, don't bore me with same old same old, mix it up. There are 12 slots available (Including me). We will be starting with 8, but it will still be open to others. More slots may be added if on high demand. PROFILE INFO: Name- This speaks for itself. Age- Same here. Gender- And here. Story- Not a full life story, just a paragraph on your characters past up until August 79. Appearance/Picture (Optional)- This speaks for itself. Be detailed please. Status- This is a bit complicated. Tell me where you stand in Pompei. How wealthy are you? Are you popular? Do lots of people know you? What do you do for a living? What slot do you fit in? Again, please be detailed. Personality- You know it. Strengths/Weaknesses- Please be detailed. No God modding. Three strengths and weaknesses per person. Other- anything else you want to say about your character? Do it here. PROFILE Name: Age: Gender: Story: Appearance/ Picture(Optional): Personality: Status: Strengths/Weaknesses: Other: ROLES AVAILABLE: 6 Slots taken. 6 slots available. (More may be added if on high demand) 1. JustToby- Fim 2. Satan- Cornelius 3. SidereaAquila- Leona Quinta 4. XxMusicaxX- Nacosta 'Nas' 4A. XxMusicaxX- Waiting on profile 5. 567ajt- Maximus Propane 6. CeruleanBlaze- April Blackford. RULES: 1. I am boss. And always right. I take any comments, concerns you have whole heartedly and please don't be afraid of me. 2. Proper Grammar/Spelling. It's painful to my eyes and everyone elses so please use it. Make sure to edit posts if mistakes are spotten. 3. No God Modding. It's stupid, and if I notice it I will have a talk and if it happens three times your out. 4. No fighting. If you have a problem, consult me, not the person. If you have been directly abused by a member of the SB contact me and I will evict them immediately. 5. No killing other characters without permission from both me and the person. 6. No sex, although you can hint it, and romance is definitely allowed. 7. Swearing. I don't have a problem with occasional swearing, but NO MODERN SWEAR WORDS. This is 79 AD people. Do your research. 8. All out of character posts should be posted in the DT which will go up shortly. 9. Do not double post unless nothing has been posted in 24 hours. 10. For every new day I will start with this: # August, 79 AD. DO NOT START A NEW DAY UNLESS I HAVE POSTED THAT. LIMIT OF THREE POSTS PER SB DAY. 11. I believe in complete contact with other SB members. Make sure conversation is always happening in the DT and when having a conversation with another character plan ahead with he person. 12. Please start every new post with this: Name-Date-Place eg. Flavio- 24th of August 79- Ampitheatre 13. No modern slang. As I said, it's 79 AD! 14. Be kind. 15. Have fun! Failure to stay within the rules will result in punishment, especially 15. Mwahahahahahaha! I'm joking, just try to stick within these. If you can't, don't bother applying. DT will go up shortly. EDIT: DT is here . Problems...surely not! But if you do, contact me or visit the DT. Have fun ~Toby~

Requesting another character Tobes. I guess he/she will be Nas's main informant and right hand man/woman. I have yet to decide. I'll finish up tonight.

Rightio Musica! But I won't mark that character as another slot, the character will be under your name, not a new slot.
