The Chirstmas Caravaan

The Christmas Caravaan

Who will bring them home?

12/21 - I have edited a few things since there hasn't been a lot of people joining...

The world has frozen over and everyone has evacuated to seven cities - Barcelona, New Orleans, Beijing, Brasilia, Cairo, Sydney, and the North Pole.

All children were sent to the South Pole, which is now the new governmental headquarters. But now a caravaan has come to bring them to where they belong. This journey has never been done before and is very dangerous. And with three months til Christmas in the year 2008, it will have to take a miracle.

Now you get to decide: Who will bring them home?

You may be either a Caravaan leader, a talking animal or animal hybrid, or a lost child or orphan (You can have more than one character.)

Only 5 leaders, 7 animals or animal hybrids, and no more than 15 children. (Sorry, have to keep it reasonable.)

Leaders can be 17-45 (Leaders can be mythical creatures)
Animals or animal hybrids can live to 150
Children and orphans 4-17 but over 15 is very rare

Leaders may have TWO magical abilities

Animal already have the talent of changing into animals, but you can have another ability or magic if you feel like it

Children MAY have magic, but only the beginnings of magic. You can have the child be taught by a leader or animal to hone in on the magic.

First come first serve on abilities and magic. One kind of magic per person. (Ex. If someone has fire, you cannot have fire too, etc. - Just trying for diversity.)

(if a child) Where to be dropped of:

If the child has a certain ability, like Princess's child, which is Allie, you would go to the North Pole. If you didn't you need to choose one of the seven cities to be dropped off at.

By Race I mean animal or animal hybrid, human child, human leader (the leader could be something other than a leader, just not a and so forth.
For Appearance a picture would be great.

Rules:
There can be romance, but don't go overboard. PG-13 okay? (No sex scenes.)
No gore or graphic details please!!!
No God-modding
No killing a character unless I say it's okay or the character's person says its okay
(If you don't post in a month then your character WILL be killed)
No cursing (cussing is okay "dang" "shoot" "crud")
Try to invite one or two (alot would be awesome!) to join, because at this rate we'll get started after Christmas...

If these rules aren't followed your character WILL be killed. NO exceptions!!!

Wait until there's enough people to start - late characters are welcome!

Name: Emily Rugburg
Age: 17
Race: Caravaan leader
Gender: Female
Appearance: http://givepeaceeachance.deviantart.com ... e-74233876
History: Lost her parents and friends when the world froze over. She doesn't know if they are alive or dead. Found Adena and she became a Caravaan leader. Is very sweet to everyone. Is shy, but talks to people sometimes. She got the powers to control water and can also control and feel peoples' emotions.
Other: Up for love!

*Hey, pshhxhoney, do you want to be second in command?*

I need more people!

Name:Alissa (Allie). She doesn't know her last name.

Age:5

Race: Human orphan

Gender:Female

Appearance: Medium length curly brown hair, 3 feet tall. Adorable face with golden eyes.

History: Nobody knows. She was found wandering the streets alone and was taken in by Andi.

Other: Her special ability is that she has a way with animals. All animals adore her, even dangerous ones, and she loves them.

So Allie is going to the North Pole? Or is she going to be dropped off at one of the last seven cities?

She is going to the north pole. They think her gift will be useful with wild animals.

Very cool. (haha...no pun intended) If it's no trouble, could you invite some friends to join? I really want to get this on the move...but you don't have to.

I shall, I shall

Great! You're awesome!

Name: Anthony "Toni" Maro

Age: 21

Race: Caravaan Leader - Has the ability to create illusions for a short amount of time and has the ability to see a 'would-be' future though his dreams. Most of the time, it is not the real future, but merely foreshadowing or symbolizing what's to come.

Gender: Male

Appearance: Here. Toni has pale blue eyes with wispy, shaggy black hair and slight facial hair. He stands about six feet tall and is slender in build. He has a slight smattering of freckles across his cheeks.

History: Toni never really knew his parents. He lived with them, sure, but they were merely more furniture to the house in his opinion. Having always been incredibly independent, Toni would often run off for days on end, living in the streets of his hometown or any of the surrounding larger cities. And when he would return home, his parents would fuss over him and try to spoil him with expensive gifts he would end up throwing out or trading, to try to get him to stay home. Toni got fed up with it, and when he went out one day, he never came back. After the world froze over, he joined the Caravaan and became one of the leaders for it. He has no idea what happened to his parents, who were living a few miles outside of Barcelona.

Other: Probably not up for love at the moment. Maybe. We'll see.

**Let me know if I need to change anything. I may be semi-inactive over the next week or so, but I'll try to post as often as I can.

That's alright, as long as you keep up with the story and all.

Andi - Head of Caravaan

I grimaced as the CSV (Caravaan Sleeping Vehicle) jostled me from my sleep. The other caravaan leaders had awoken too, except for Emily who was driving up front. I heard the window above me that closed off the driver's cabin from the bedroom slide open.

"Sorry about that guys the government didn't have enough for shocks," Emily's voice explained quietly.

Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I reached underneath my bed to grab my laptop. As soon as it warmed up, which didn't take long from my heating ability, I opened our satellite radar. I quickly pinpointed our position, and called to Emily that we were a few hours away and to veer 5 degrees to the right.

The rest of the crew was trying to go back to sleep. "Wake up you lazy dogs, there's work to be done."
I was already dressed when they were still getting out of bed. I sighed, annoyed at their slowness, and jumped into the cabin next to Emily.

"Lot of snow," I told her casually.

She took a quick glance to me, "No kidding."

I called for someone to hand me my laptop. After a few seconds, a slow pair of hands tapped me on the shoulder and shoved it at me. Toni looked like he was the living dead. I checked my watch and laughed to myself. Five in the morning isn't that early...

Emily asked about the children who were coming on the dangerous journey around the frozen world. "There's a little girl named Alissa going to the North Pole. About five." Several seconds passed before I mentally cursed myself.

Emily looked at me as I frantically began typing. "What?" she asked.

"Forgot to make the CVS assignments." She smiled and looked back to the front. Emily knew when not to talk to me, and this was one of those times.

The sun rose into dawn as the ten trucks behind us followed in our large group. Only a few more hours of peace until the end of this caravaan.

*To avoid confusion when reading, put your character's name - then their position (child w/ age, leader, hybrid, animal, or in my case Head of Caravaan)

Ali


Ali poked her head out of her nest of blankets, pillows, and other soft garments. She had been sleeping on a top bunk of a sleeping compartment that was meant for children, but all the ones here had already been dropped off. Maybe they would pick up some more kids along the way. She slipped off the bunk, adorned her coat and boots, and headed for the main sleeping cabin.

Andi was shouting for the crew to get to work, and Ali giggled as she watched the sleepy men and women scramble.

Andi then turned around and began typing on a laptop. A black haired woman was standing there watching him. Ali padded up to her and stood next to her and Andi.

"What are you typing?" She asked, her golden eyes falling to a rest on the laptop.

*Sorry, I had a much longer post, but my computer crashed, so this is what I came up with*

*Oops, Princess, Andi is a girl. This is the first caravaan so they haven't picked up any kids yet, and other trucks carry the children. The leaders have a truck and the other adults have another. There is also a kitchen truck. Sorry, I should have told y'all. But, since you already posted, you can be an exception and you sleep with the leaders until the other children come. Oh, and the Caravaan Trucks are basically like 18-wheelers, but more suited for living quarters. Andi was in the cockpit, or where the steering wheel is but in the passenger's seat so they were sitting not standing. Hope that clears all of that up. You might want to edit your post...*
