I'm alive and happy to start whenever!
Do you think we should all negotiate each character's relationships between one other, or just work out 'who hates who' and 'who likes who' as we go along with the story?
Also how long has this 'end of the world' thing been going on for? years? months? days?
Many thanks :)

@therealme I totally agree, can we do that on this so everyone knows? c:

Oh hey, look! There are people alive out there! :D
Glad you guys decided to drop in.

Okay, so figuring out the whole relationship thing now sounds pretty good because (knowing my luck) they'll all just end up happy family (which is nice but kinda boring, and just a tad unrealistic)
:)

Tell me what you guys think in the case of who would get along with who, if you have any ideas. (not completely sure that that made sense but hopefully you'll get the jist.) :)

Anyhow as for how long the end of the world has been going on...
Well when I came up with the idea I was kinda thinking years? So that the people going on the journey remember the "real world" but, you know, only just.
Maybe somewhere between 10 to 20 years (because that's about how old as everyone is...)

All that out of the way, we get to start tomorrow... by which hopefully everyone else will be on board. :)

I can't wait to start this. :D

So here are my thoughts for my character's relationships with the other characters :) (please let me know if you're not happy with any of these or would like to make a suggestion because the last thing I want to do is offend people!) So without further ado, here they are:

Alison and Mr. Winters -

Spoiler! :
I don't think these characters will socialise too much, mostly because they don't have much in common. They will probably be just friendly acquaintances throughout the story (but if you want this can be changed).


Alison and Ashlee -

Spoiler! :
Ali and Ash... let's see... These two rarely ever clash with each other. Alison likes Ash's sarcastic view on life and finds that it helps her to lighten up and not look on the negative side of things as much as she normally would. It's fair to say that these two could end up being friends, but Alison feels the need to keep her distance from Ash. The reason for this being that Alison doesn't want anyone to find out about her secrets. Since Ash is really good at detecting whether someone is lying or not, Ali feels threatened by Ash's presence. Alison will panic when Ash gets dangerously close to revealing one of Alison's secrets *hint*.


Alison and Jason -

Spoiler! :
I recon Alison thinks Jason is very annoying and not worth being friendly to since, in Jason's character profile, umaima mentioned that people tend to think of him as a "rude jerk". Alison is quite outspoken and doesn't hold back when it comes to letting certain people know that she doesn't enjoy their company. Near the end of the story Alison will realise that Jason is actually not too bad and that she shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.


Alison and Caroline -

Spoiler! :
Alison has an unconscious instinct to protect Caroline because she reminds Alison of her younger sister that was murdered by her old boyfriend. At the same time, Alison feels a strong pang of guilt whenever she's around Caroline (also because she reminds Ali of her sister). Overall Alison likes Caroline a lot, though Ali doesn't exactly know why.


Alison and Gabriel -

Spoiler! :
It seem that they're both don't really like themselves that much, so in that way Alison can relate with Gab. Alison has never wandered down the emo path like Gab, but on certain levels she understands how he feels and why he cuts (or used to cut) himself. Gab holds a very negative energy, maybe because of his past, and Ali doesn't want to be around him all that much. She thinks that Gab is a really nice guy and all that, but she's too insecure in herself to be dealing with other people's sadness. Until Alison can gain more confidence and escape her past, she simply can't befriend other depressed people.


Alison and Q -

Spoiler! :
To make things interesting I think these two should dislike one another. Maybe they're fighting over the same guy? Maybe one is jealous of the other? I have no idea but it would be kind of fun and interesting to have a 'bitch fight thing' going on between two of the girl characters. (by the way i swear there is absolutely nothing personal with this relationship suggestion. I also really like your avatar littleauthor it is so cute omg! :D )


Alison and Z -

Spoiler! :
At first Alison finds Z kind of boring. To Alison he seems to have as much feeling as a robot, nothing but a brave and reserved fighting machine. Yet as the adventure goes on Alison discovers more about Z and realises that he is actually a lot more interesting than what she thought.


Alison and Ayumi

Spoiler! :
Alison likes Ayumi's strength and admires that. However, Ali finds her a little unfriendly at times and quite harsh with her words. Alison understands that it's most likely because of her past and tries to put up with it. Trusting Ayumi is a little difficult for Alison, mostly because she's afraid Ayumi will be angered if her secrets ever slip out.


Alison and Jeydon

Spoiler! :
Alison has mixed feelings with Jeydon. Part of her thinks he's a bit of a show off and quite up himself, which turns her off a little. Another part of her feels attracted to him, yet Alison wants to be careful. She's afraid that Jeydon's looks are the only reason she seems drawn to him. Alison both wants to stay away from Jeydon as much as possible, and be close to him as much as possible. Her emotions are all over the show.

Here's my view of Mr. Winters relationships with everyone else, though I'm sure things will develop further as the story progresses. Feel free to let me know if you think anything should be changed.

Mr. Winters and Caroline:
Spoiler! :
Winters doesn't spend much time with Caroline, but he has no problem with her; however, he thinks it's a bit silly for her to try to prove things to other people.


Mr. Winters and Alison:
Spoiler! :
Winters has slight trust issues with Ali, but he admires her skill at persuasion and theft. If he needs materials for a project, he often asks her to retrieve them. While, he tries to act friendly towards her, he fears he will wake up with her knife in his back.


Mr. Winters and Ashlee:
Spoiler! :
I feel like Winters would be more trusting of Ash, due to similar circumstances growing up, and would treat her like a little sister. When they combine their skills, their creations can be the turning point of a battle, or a whimsical prank on one of the other members.


Mr. Winters and Jason:
Spoiler! :
Jason is typically the target if Winters' pranks, and the two often act like bitter enemies. They have serious trust issues between each other, and little progress gets done when they have to work together.


Mr. Winters and Q:
Spoiler! :
Winters typically doesn't interact with Q, he was never a big fan of secret agents. He tries to avoid fights with her, but she sometimes talks a bit too much for his liking.


Mr. Winters and Z:
Spoiler! :
Winters treats Z similarly to the way he treats Q, but he is very interested in Z's knowledge of the mutants.

Mr. Winters and Gabriel:
Spoiler! :
Winters feels unease around Gab, despite Gab's insistence that he's a good person. The scars on Gab's arm unnerve Winters, but Gab's inability to feel pain gives Winters a bit of amusement.


Mr. Winters and Ayumi:
Spoiler! :
Ayumi is one of the few members of the group that Winters openly respects; however, he has very little trust in her. He gets a bad feeling around her, so he tries to avoid her if possible, but he understands that their cooperation will be needed on occasion. Although she puts him on edge, he avoids pulling pranks on her out of courtesy.


Mr. Winters and Jeydon:
Spoiler! :
Winters doesn't care much for Jeydon, but he doesn't actively seek arguments with him. He typically just tries to avoid Jeydon, but he isn't dead set against working with him.


Mr. Winters and Regina:
Spoiler! :
Winters is unsure of Regina. All he knows is that she seems to be the kind of person to snoop, and he doesn't want anyone snooping on him. There might be a bit of heat between these two; they're both extremely stubborn and neither will ever back down.

These are Gab's feels toward the others. Sorry for getting Q and Z mixed up :3

Gab and Mr. Whinters
Spoiler! :
Unsure about him. Gab feels that Winters sometimes will take advantage of his slight problem he has with feeling pain.


Gab and Q
Spoiler! :
Gab think she is very interesting, as she is a mutant. But he likes to keep his distance.


Gab and Z
Spoiler! :
Q seems like an alright guy, but gab still has his doubts about him.


Gab and Ashlee
Spoiler! :
She is very stubborn, but Gab has learned to get over that and just try to be nice. Despite the fact they hardly talk, he thinks she could be trustworthy.


Gab and Jason
Spoiler! :
Gab needs friends, so if its okay, these two could be mates? The jock and the emo kid..? It could happen.. But anyways. Gab, thinks its amusing when Jason is mocking people, but doesn't often show it. He knows that deep inside Jason is a really nice guy.


Gab and Caroline
Spoiler! :
Very caring just like Gab. They get alone fairly well. Gab is always making sure she is alright. Seeing, because she is the youngest of them all.


Gab and Alison
Spoiler! :
She is persuasive with her words, Gab finds that quite impressing. But, she has a small habit of stealing, Gab just thinks its because of her upbringing. They aren't the closest but, he wasn't to get to know her more..


Gab and Ayumi
Spoiler! :
He is unsure what to think about Ayumi. She doesn't really talk to him, but she doesn't avoid him either. Gab doesn't really know where he sits with her


Gab and Jeydon
Spoiler! :
Sometimes, gab feels that Jeydon can get a little too much attention in the girls department. Safe to say Gab can get just a tiny bit jealous, but hides it well. But, Jeydon is a nice guy, that Gab can sort of get along with.


Gab and Regina
Spoiler! :
Gab would like to get to know her a bit more before he makes assumptions about her.But if he is willing to give her a chance, they could be friends..

*cough cough* Q is a girl *cough*


Q and Z
Spoiler! :
Q really likes Z, considering they have a history. Q looks up to him even though they're only 3 months apart


Q and Mr. Winters
Spoiler! :
She doesn't really talk to him considering he avoids her anyways.


Q and Caroline
Spoiler! :
Q thinks she is just the most innocent little thing. She notices how she tries to act older and stronger, but that's because she one of e youngest and Q understands that.


Q and Alison
Spoiler! :
She absolutely hates her. She would never admit it but she's jealous. I agree that it would be kinda cool if they acted like total bitches to each other and a guy fight sounds like super fun.


Q and Ash
Spoiler! :
Q and ash don't really talk, but Q is totally glad to have another fighter on the team.


Q and Jason
Spoiler! :
She believes that he is total tool. Q does act a little more friendly around him though because she has always been attracted to bad boys.


Q and Gab
Spoiler! :
Q would really like to become maybe friends with Gab, but he seems to always be avoiding her.


Q and Ayumi
Spoiler! :
Q really likes working with her considering she is also an amazing runner and she really likes that she actually trusts her.


Q and Jeydon
Spoiler! :
Q thinks he is a total cutie. He is probably one of the only guys that actually seems like a nice dude (besides Z C:) so she acts nice to him.


Q and Ragina
Spoiler! :
ok so Q completely hates her guts. She thinks she s a compete waste of space and has no idea why in hell that X picked her as one of the recruits


P.S. @therealme we need to talk about our bitch fight xD

This is a poem by one of the lovely writer's on this site who goes by the name of Rosan. The poem has a similar (if not the same) theme to what we are going to write and I thought I'd share it with all you guys for inspiration or something like that haha. :)

Curse
by Rosan

A spell will be cast
to call the devil forth.
The ice will melt down
in the south and the north.

Beasts will die out,
plants will decay,
humans will be left
to live and betray.

Those who exist
will live on their kin
with no other choice
but to carry the sin.

The heavens refuse
to accept those who lived
for they can no longer
be saved and relieved.

The dead will arise,
be prepared for the worse.
Pray to the lord
to rid the bloody curse.
"It is our Light, not our darkness, that most frightens us."
