Symbiosis – Starting/Accepting
Plot:
A few months ago, a private flight was designated for the Bahamas. Eight people; each either rich or in some way famous, were on this luxurious, high-class flight. Their ages ranged from around 16, to 30. They were quite young indeed, and were only on this flight for the tranquil destination that awaited them. Basically, they were wasting their fortunes on a holiday.
But, an unfortunate twist occurred during the final hour of their flight from England. The pilot received an abrupt notice from the main station reporting a storm in their direction. Having been bequeathed with it on such short notice, the pilot had no time to go around it or go back, so he and the passengers had no choice but to go through it. The storm proved to be vigorous, savage and showed literally no mercy for the plane. Air masks dropped from above the passengers seats, causing them to go into a state of anarchy.
During this scene of chaos, the aircraft assistants had no choice but to remain calm and settle the crowd down. They covered each passenger with a blanket and attached their air masks for them- after all, famous, slightly stuck-up folk wouldn’t expect to do it themselves.
Fortunately, to the passengers’ luck, an insignificant island undiscovered by man-kind was laying beneath them. It was so small, it was undetected by submarine and boat radar, and planes would be too far away in the air to spot it. But this plane however, was of course close enough to now see it since it was crashing.
At first, the island seemed too small to even fit the plane on, but on closer examination, it was big enough. The cock pit severely crashed into the earth first, causing the pilot to gain severe whiplash, as well as die. This was obvious, since there was a minor explosion that followed their landing too.
Since they weren’t strapped in, the aircraft assistants were flung in all directions, most of them dying from head trauma, the remaining others just being burnt alive in fires. Fortunately, the eight passengers made it through this unforgiving event.
After departing from the alight aircraft, they stuck together and made sure to get as far away from it as possible. They were now lost, there was no doubt about it. The island they had landed on, or crashed on rather, was a tropical place. Sounds that would cause your skin to crawl echoed through the abundant forests, and the beach that was constantly licked at by the sea was crawling with mutant amphibians, none of which discovered by man yet. This island was literally a nature preserve for undiscovered creatures; but if nobody knows of this island and nobody knows of the creatures inhabiting it, then what might be lurking here?
The eight passengers have yet to discover the horrific future ahead of them. Deep in a cave lays their master. Little did they know, their master-to-be would soon be in control of their minds and cause them to be pitted against each other.
In a moist, nebulous cave surrounded by thousands of trees dwells a worm. Yes - a worm. It is so small for the eye, that it can not be noticed unless concentrated hard on. But this worm is a devious one. Different to your common earth worm… It contains a lethal liquid, that when transferred into a human, will cause them to fall unconscious and be under the worms command whilst it is attached. The worm will continue to pump its juice into its host, whilst also withdrawing some blood to survive on.
While under the worm’s command, the host will not be in control of his or her actions (obviously the creator of the character will be able to post what the worm is doing to them though). They will represent a zombie, in a way, and will be programmed by the worm to rid the island of the newcomers. Once he/she had killed all of the passengers, the worm will programme its host to then commit suicide. If the host fails too many times at attacking, the worm will detach itself and choose another passenger.
Rules:
1 – Under no circumstances do you kill off and or attack another person’s character without either Pern or Moo’s consent, along with the character’s owner’s consent.
2 – Although this will be a literate and mature storyboard, we ask that there are no sex scenes, although minor romance scenes will be accepted.
3 – Stick to the topic and don’t change what’s going on, for example, if somebody has the worm, don’t say you have it or just ignore the fact a killer parasite is on the loose.
4 – Respect the fact you know each other already and you’re in a group. We ask that you avoid strolling off alone, but I you want to you can. The only reason we ask that you don’t is that you might get… Ignored throughout the posts since you’re not at the centre of activity.
5 – You have mobiles, sure, but absolutely no signal. Yeah, you have as much money as you want, but it’s useless here. Basically, you’re stuck here until further notice.
6 – Do not ask to have the parasite. We will choose who has it. At first, you may all go looking for a shelter and come across the cave that is the worms home. This is just an opinion, but the first few pages of this must include the passengers encountering the worm without knowing it. You shall be PMed when you have the parasite, followed by how long and who you’re allowed to attack/kill.
Character template:
Name:
Gender:
Age (16-30):
Appearance:
Personality (You’re either really stuck up and arrogant with your wealth, or a nice, modest person :] ):
How they got to be either famous or rich:
Wounds from the plane crash (They can range from minor to severe.)
Other (Such as up for love, or weapons. Nothing big like scythes or axes, why would you take one of them abroad? Maybe a pen knife or something jagged that you could transform into a weapon by carving?):
Add anything you want to this template, but only what’s necessary.
Preferably 4 males and 4 females. Keep it even. And if you don’t understand anything, simply PM either Pern or Moo and we’ll be happy to explain anything to you!
Also, after you are near the worm, hopefully within the first few five or six posts, I’ll PM one of you explaining the whole parasite thing. You’ll have to guess which of you is carrying the worm, but it’ll be quite obvious when they’re acting quite zombie like.
And another reminder… The worm’s fluid causes the host to be extremely strong, but not fast.
