Sure, I'll change it now

Sounds great Cailey! Go ahead and fill out stage 1,

It may take a while for me to fill out stage one I'm on my phone and away from home. Sorry.

How do you feel about joining the team?:
I'm so excited. I love adventure, I love risks, I love a good challenge. I can't wait to meet the rest of the team, especially the girls. Seriously though, I can't see how anything would go wrong. This will be awesome.

What are you packing in your backpack?:
Oh, I don't know. I haven't packed yet, I'm just going to through some last minute items in. A knife, I guess, knifes are always good. Oh, and rope, you never know when you'll need rope. What else? A photo of my sister, some gum, I love gum, maybe a first aid kit, some other odds and ends that I find lying around. By odds and ends I mean food, an extra pair of socks, a slinky, nail clippers, tissues, a tennis ball, a little notebook and a pencil.

Why do you think you can win?:
Why? Because I'm awesome, duh! No, seriously, I don't have any reason. But I'm fast, and I'm sneaky, and tough. Plus, I've got the motivation. I can win to make my sis proud, and my parents as well. I'm rich because all my life I've grown up with the motivation and the determination to not just survive, but to win no matter what.

Looks good VampireSenshi512 congrats!

zohali93 that's fine. Just do it when you get a chance. We'll be starting pretty soon here.

And Cailey, the same think as VampireSenshi512, could you please specify the exact contents of your pack? Thanks!

"Yay! We've had lots of applications! All these teens sound great and I'm sure you all have a chance at the prize. I still need a few more people though so share the word if you get a chance so we can get this challenge started soon. Lets see who we have so far:
Rylet Carney--Girl--UpAndOut15
Zohan (no last name?)--Girl--zohali93
Lydia 'Teal' Donnely--Girl--xXmusicaXx
Brigid Szpirglas--Girl--SidereaAquila
Noah Wyatt--Guy--VampireSenshi512
Warren Mueller--Guy--tgirly
Mario Sorenson --Guy--Cailey

Hmm three guys, four girls. Not bad! If we can get one more guy it will be equal. We'll be setting out on April 12 sound good? Get your backpacks ready and I advise you get a lot of exercise!" (~Katherine)

My charecter's last name will be a secret because she's from a well known family and plus she's disguised as a boy so it wouldn't help to give the last name.

Oh and about that why exactly is she disguised as a boy?

Ok, I added some

Here you go folks! This is the discussion forum in case you have any questions viewtopic.php?f=200&t=93962

For disguise.

Last chance everyone! Three spots left. Two guys one girl. Quick join now!

Spoiler

Hah! I guess I'll just add my own character

Name: Andrew "Andy" Stone
Age (between 13-19): 17
Gender: male
Appearance: He has dark brown hair and gray eyes. His face is thin and he has hard-set eyebrows.

Spoiler

History: Andy grew up in a 'normal' home with his two younger sisters. He was very kind a loving and the best of older brothers. He took really good care of them and always treated them well. When his youngest sister was in a car accident he did his very best to save her. He kept wishing that it had been him who had been in the car when the crash happened, not his sister. He spent all his time with her and was at her side when she died. Her death broke him. He threw all the 'nice guy' stuff out the window. He was angry with himself for letting her die, even though he did all he could. A few weeks later he attempted suicide but failed. His anger has built up so much he can barely speak to anyone anymore. He's doing the challenge to try to work away his anger. He doesn't want to stay this way his whole life and at the moment all he wants to do is suffer. He wants a challenge, he wants pain, but most of all he wants to win.
Personality: Andy has anger problems and it comes out everywhere. He has no friends because he chased them all off after his sister's death. He is very hard to talk to and hardly ever smiles. He sticks to himself mostly. Deep inside him there's still a small soft spot in his almost stone heart. He still can be loving and kind if he really tried.
Other: He won't be up for love unless the girl tries hard. He punishes himself too much and doesn't find himself worthy of love.
................................................................................

How do you feel about joining the team?: I don't feel. I don't feel either excited or nervous. I'm confident. I'm sure that nothing out there can hurt me so I'm not afraid to step out and take a chance.
What are you packing in your backpack?: This is what I'm taking:
A small tool kit
An extra set of clothes (including a rain slicker and warm jacket)
A dagger and sheath
A flashlight
A notebook and pen
A lighter
And thee bags of my special trail mix (crushed potato chips, pretzels, M&Ms, bacon bits, and anything else I could find all crushed into a fine powder. I usually mix it with water and drink it.
Why do you think you can win?: I feel I can win because I'm immune. Nothing hurts me. Being tired and in pain doesn't have an effect on my mood. I think I can win because I can survive past the rest.

Name: Rosette "Rose" Mellar
Age: 14 (I think 13 is too young)
Gender: Female
Appearance: Rosette has light brown hair with golden highlights. Her hair is wavy, and she has blue eyes. She is not as tall as most of the girls her age.

Spoiler

History: Rosette is a nature lover, and an amazing explorer. Her small town doesn’t have good government, and they are constructing new buildings where the forests used to be, but now there are big problems. The town is running out of food because of the lack of fields, and her family and friends are starving! Rosette knows she must take on this challenge, or face destruction.
Personality:She knows a lot about herbs and medical plants because of her love for nature. She is a great friend, but when something angers her, there is no way to stop her anger storms! Rosette has learned much about scavenging for food and water because of the difficulties she faces in her town. She trusts nobody until she has tested him/her. Rosette is a very stubborn and unafraid girl. Unless she finds a good friend, she isolates herself, and she doesn’t socialize with others. She tries to keep her thoughts completely hidden, and she usually succeeds, but when something really bothers her, she sometimes gets violent.
Other: She loves animals, and spends lots of time with them. She can somehow communicate with them!

How do you feel about joining the team? : I am excited, yet afraid of failure… I need the money and food, but I am doubting myself. I am not a coward, but I am a bit intimidated.
What are you packing in your backpack?
These are the things I am taking:
Thin, yet warm, clothes (1 shirt, 1 coat, 1thin sweater, 1 pair of pants) that folds up into a very small size
A Swiss army knife
A home-made mixture to purify water
A water bottle bag that can hold up to a liter of water (she has a bit of water in there)
A small flashlight
A long piece of material (to use as a bandage if needed)
A few mismatch first aid stuff (like disinfectant)
Bug spray
A pack of dried fruit (which I went to another far-away town to buy)
A pack of dried veggies
A long rope
10 Jumbo large Zip lock bags
5 small zip locks
flint
Small sized plastic bowl
a loaf of hard bread
a few nuts, and a few seeds


Why do you think you can win? : My whole family is hoping that I win, so that I can fix some of these problems. I will put EVERYTHING into it, and will try as hard as I can to win. I must win, or else my town, friends and family will reach destruction point! I will either win, or even die trying. My knowledge of nature will (hopefully) help me get through this… I must win… Or my family will have to face difficulty!
