A country kid in a futuristic world (PLEASE JOIN) -accepting

Spoiler

Okay, this is my first sb, so I really want it to turn out! i’m gonna try to make this the best that I can so please message me with any questions or advise.

In the year 1640, the pioneers were settled in Plymouth. Ten pioneer kids are working, doing their chores, and helping on their new farms. Little do they know that the very next day, they will magically be transferred to the Future. Everyone knows how hard of workers these children were, and they also were very strong. For their entire life, they have had to live off of the land, bathe in stream water, help plant seeds, and tend gardens. But something that they have no knowledge of, are electronic things. When they get transferred to the future (year 3000) they have NO idea of all of the technology. Suddenly, they find themselves amidst many people who are saying that they are their saviors. Apparently, they have traveled in time to a time when there is much war, violence, and lack of good government. They are kinda forced to help the people, but first, they have to figure out technology!

Okay. Now you can fill in the character sheet.

Name (Remember, this is in the 1600’s. So no really weird names. Last names like: Johnson, Carter, etc. Oh, and you may have a sibling if you want, but max one.):
Age (they are young, so between 10-17):
Gender:
Appearance (Please try to find a picture for this):
Personality:
History (just explain about your family, the responsibilities you have around the farm, etc):
Talent (it can be something like being really strong (because of farm work), or you can be a very good leader, you are a good public speaker, etc):
Other (again, they are quite young. I don’t want very much romance… So if you want to, you can put “up for love” but I hope not to have much of that stuff):

Well here are the rules:

Spoiler

Normal YWS rules
Please, not too much romance
NO gore unless I personally tell you that you can
try to be on as often as possible, I want this to move fairly quickly
if i tell you that you need to change something in your entry, please dont be mad
this is in war times, so there will be some gore, but don't include it unless I say so
try to check the dt (I'll try to figure it out in a sec) for extra updates

Remember, they didn’t choose to be transferred, so they can be somewhat mad if they want to… They will be frustrated at first, because they don’t know much about the new “tech.” Anyhow, let your imagination fly… Have fun.

Spoiler

This is going to be a fast moving SB I hope, so please, try to come on as often as possible.

i'll explain my role in this sb:

Spoiler

Also, I am basically going to be a few things, the “scenery setter,” and one of the characters. Also, if I make a bad guy (not yet) i'll act him/her.k?
As the scenery setter, I am going to, obviously, set up the scenes. I will say stuff like “At the moment you guys (boys) are on the farm, helping in the fields. The weather is hot, you are drenched in sweat… etc” Get the picture?

If you've got a question or would like to advise me on how to make this more interestin, please message me. THANKS

Spoiler

Since I see nobody's joining, i'll make a character.

Name: Rebecca (Becca) Carter
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Appearance: (I'll get a pic later... (She has blonde hair, and always wears farm clothes. Overalls, and mostly checkered blouses) She’s a beautiful girl, despite not having all that make up yet. She has deep blue eyes and dusty blonde hair. She’s a petite girl and loves riding horses. She hates wearing dresses, so she uses her brother’s over-all’s. She usually has a straw hat on.
Personality: She’s a jumpy girl. She has a strong sense of right and wrong, and loves making friends. Although she’s on a farm, she goes everywhere to find good friends. She will never dump a good friend. She has tons of love in her heart, but when one of her two older brothers dies, she holds grief inside of her. She never shows her pain, and is often cheery and happy. She is a hard worker and loves to talk... Talk.... and talk
History: After Becca’s brother died, she was sad. Also, she had a lot more responsibility. She was put in charge of their two horses, which she loves, she has to get buckets of water from the stream every day, which is tiring, and she also has to help her mom at home. She helps her dad plant in the fields, she harvests, and above all, she must take care of her many sibling. Making friends comes naturally to her, and she loves making better friendships with others.
Talent: Since she is so good at making friendships, and isn’t shy. She’s a great public speaker, and can make friends with people she hates. She can “pretend” to be friends, but actually just do it for her benefit.
Other: She is up for love, but is hard to actually get to love back. As I said, she can really pretend well.

Name: Arabelle Harper

Age: 16

Appearance: http://browse.deviantart.com/photograph ... 0#/d2iqo3u

She has long, wavy auburn hair and grey eyes. She's tall and thin, and she typically wears her hair in two ponytails tied with ribbon. She wears a lot of purples and blues.

Personality: Extremely intelligent. She's far ahead of her time, and constantly questions the way things are. She's very confident and sweet, a born leader/
mother. She has many friends, but often likes to be alone to write or draw. She has a nasty temper though.

History: She lives with her parents, grandmother, and four young siblings. Her older brother left two years ago after getting married and soon after he left her father fell off a horse and broke his leg. His leg hasn't been the same since, so Arabelle does most of the chores now, as her younger brother is only 3.

Talent: She's one of the few people in the colonies who can read and write. Because she can read, she has learned several useful trades like herbal medicines, fishing, knot tying, etc. She is also an excellent caregiver.

Other: Up for love.

Great. That's really good, summergrl13! And ToBeMe, try to get it up soon. Also, seems nice, try to make her "unique". So, don't make her a good public speaker like Becca, and try to not make her such a good "actress as Becca either. Try to even out their talents

People need to joinnn

Here's my profile.
Tell me if it's okay and if there is anything I need to change.

Name: Isabelle Blackwood

Age: 16 years old

Gender: Female

Appearance:
Isabelle is of average height for her age with an athletic build, long curling dark brown hair (which most of the time she braids to keep it out of her face.), almond green eyes and lightly tanned skin. She loves the comfort of wearing pants and whenever she is alone she will swap the dresses her mother insists she wear for more comfortable outfits of denim and flannelette shirts.


Personality: Isabelle is an extremely shy girl around most people (whom she doesn't know) and finds it hard to make friends; although once she does she will stick with them until then end. She is incredibly loyal to her family and once she has decided on something she will stick with it until the end (even if she knows she cannot possibly win.) Around those who know her well she is a smart, witty and incredibly compassionate girl who will always try to help anyone she thinks needs help. Mostly though she tends to keep to herself but that’s not because she doesn’t like people, it’s mostly because she does not know how to talk to them and is much more confident around animals.


History: She grew up with one older brother (who she gets along with well but has always been secretly jealous of- as he’s always been allowed to do and be whatever he pleases.) and her parents in a small cottage house just outside of town. Most of the time (when he mother isn’t around.) she is given the job of watching and healing animals, but whenever her mother catches her at this she is scolded as her mother believes it improper for her daughter to be around animals so much and wants her daughter to either get a proper job or married. (Isabelle and her mother are still incredibly close though they do fight over her future a lot.) Otherwise from that she has to do a fair amount of household chores and sewing practise.

Talent: Isabelle is brilliant with animals and since she was small has loved learning (off her cousin who is what you would call a vet.) about them. Now, after years of practising she knows how to heal bones and treat all sorts of wounds. People who know her well say that she would make a remarkable vet (if she could be one) as she seems to have a calming effect on animals.

Other: Up for love if she meets the right person.

Good, ToBeMe, but just so you know, most people in that time wore ONLY dresses (as in girls). They didn't wear frills much either. Also, the mother should FORCE her to wear dresses since that is "proper." My girl also has to be like that too. Don't worry, her tomboy part of her will come out in the future.

Oh, Okay.

More people have to join.
This will be fun!
