Young Writers Society

Two men look over their shoulders as people continue their day to day duties. The older of the two gazes up the hill to the old estate, then back to his friend. The low fall breeze send a shiver down his spine.

"I hear another one's gone missing." he mumbles as he drums his fingers against the head of his cane.

The younger man nods and bites his lip, "It was my daughter, do you think they'll find her?" He asks, looking for reassurance of any kind.

"I hope so."

In the small town of Forester, people have been going missing. No one is sure where they're disappearing to, either. Some of the older town's people have a feeling, though. They never did trust that rich scientist on the top of the hill. After the incident with the airship he lost many of the townfolk's trust.

During the night, people are taken up to his estate. If you are one of these people you don't know what happens next, you just wake up outside of his estate with some... drastic changes to your anatomy. It seems Mister Winchester has been experimenting with robotic parts on humans. However, most of his subjects either escape...or end up dead. (Usually the latter.) if you do escape, be warned; he will be looking for you. He can't just let his successful subjects get away now, can he?

Subjects:
You're the ones that woke up a little ahead of time. It happens, sometimes. And you find yourselves stuck in glass tubes and there's nothing to break them with. Your job is to get out quickly, before you become lab-rats and either lose a limb or your very life.

Cyborgs:
You're fresh escapees, unsure what to do and where to go now. Most of you will take to the forest around Forester and hide from civilization. You may feel disgusted with what you are now, but that's to be expected after everything that's happened. You'll be hunted by the robots that Winchester has sent out to fetch you, beware.


Townsfolk:
You've formed a mob/search group, you've probably decided it's time to listen to the elders and inspect the estate. When you first see the cyborgs, you'll most likely be frightened. There are still people hidden inside the estate, and you have to find them. Beware the robots that want to terminate you.

Name: Daila Winchester

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Group: Cyborg

Appearance: Daila has an average appearence, despite her hair. No, it isn't white. It's just a very light shade of bleach blond. Her hands are mechanical hand now, as well as her left chin and eye.

Personality: At a first glance, she's kind, respectful and only speaks when told to. She knows her common curtseys and is always willing to help. She's the kind of person who's willing to stand up for what she believes in, but she's also very passive. If she senses an argument she'll be the bigger person and drop it.

Although she seems like a relatively happy person, she's often just building up her rage. This might explain why she's such a good fighter, she gives it her all. You'd have to really piss her off for her to physically fight with you, though.

She's a terrific people person, but she doesn't really have any close friends.It doesn't bother her, she doesn't need anyone.


Skills: She's a terrific hider, and great climber.

Flaws: Can't swim, terrified of the dark, and gets spontanious pains in her leg and arm.

History: Daila was always there for her father, despite the fact that even she knew he was slightly off his rocker. Yes, she is the mad-man's daughter. Her mother died 'unexpectedly' when she was eight, everyone thinks she left town. The Winchesters are the only ones who know she's dead, and her father is the only one who knows she's a failed experiment whose body wouldn't adapt to a mechanical heart.

Daila always stood up for her father, even after he crashed an airship into city hall. She always turned a deaf ear to the people who insulted her family. When her father did what he did to her she realized she was wrong. Rather heart broken and scared she fled for the woods, where she's been hiding for about a week and a half now.

Up for love: Yes, open to anything

Other: (Anything we forgot?)

Reserving a spot.

Never mind.

Character Profiles:

Name: Steve Austin

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Group: Cyborgs

Appearance:

Personality: Before being turned into a Cyborg, Steve was a fairly happy fellow. He liked to go out and socialize with the other townsfolk. He was generally well liked by the populace for his happy, quirky, persona. After being abducted and given his Cyborg parts, he became much darker and more serious. He also became super protective of the others. He is usually pretty grim now, and always sees the negative outcome of any given situation rather than the positive one. He occasionally shows his old self, but usually sticks to standing in the corner and grumbling abut the futility of their plans and goals.

Skills Steve had his arms and legs replaced with Cyborg machinery, giving him heightened speed and strength. The Cyborg extremities also gave him slightly more powerful punches.

The arms (like this, but for the left arm also)

The hand of it


The legs (once more being an identical copy for the other leg)


Flaws: Since he is extremely grim, he goes into situations with little to no confidence. He is constantly thinking the townsfolk are going to swoop down and kill him and the other Cyborgs at any second. He constantly lives on edge, fearful for the lives of his companions and himself.

History: Steve, pre Cyborgification, was one of the town's brightest citizens. Intelligent, charismatic, and handsome, the townsfolk adored him. He was one of the many anti-Winchester protesters and it is believed that this is why he was taken and experimented on.

Up for love: No.

Other: He carries this pistol under his cloak in the event that he needs to end his (or someone/thing else's) in a hurry.

Name: Friedrich Lamborg

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Group: Cyborg

Appearance: He is tall, white, has black hair,and brown eyes. his garments are usually a little torn from his random fits and and a little wrinckled. His hair is quite long that he is often mistraken for a woman. His angry persona is very scary.

Personality:He is usually calm, happy, charistmatic, kind, and carefull. One of his other persona is a hothead, angry all the time, aggressive, mean and rash. The last of his persona is despressing, sad all the time, lucky, and a pessimist. He could have all his personas all at once but that happens so rarely and he would pass out from the intensity. He appears normal. He is a loner because no one would befriend him(would you befriend someone who would get angry all of a sudden for no apparent reason then turn calm?)He does not really like to be around people. He likes to invent take care of the inn and repair stuff.

Skills: Quite charistmatic, he can lure custumers to his inn even though his inn is near the hill but if he can't use words he uses his angry persona. He is a clear-thinker, he is sometimes at the right place at the right time, and quite compassionate.He can memorize things very easily and think faster and clearer. He is smarter

Flaws: Can not control the personas. Sometimes the wrong persona pops up at the wrong time. Not really sociable. His personality ranges.He is forgets some things after a few days

History: He was born and raised in Forester.His mother passed away but his father is a mechanic.He learned how to repair machines and create. He started an inn before the rich scientist came.
Unfortunatley, Since he was so close, he was captured to be one of the experiments but he escaped but he has a machine implanted in his head that causes his personas but blocks his memory of that date.No one knows about that fact. The scientist always tries to evict him to get him back out of the inn but he always fails because of some coincidences. Once, the scientist tried to smoke him out but luckily he fixed his ventalation system.He found the love of his life one day he was working and they had quite a lot in common together.One day the scientist tried to kill him and buy the corpse but his girlfriend died instead

Up for love: no. He never wants to fall in love or marry. not after his love of his life died.

Other: Owner of the inn below the estate. Does not realize he is a cyborg. He lives in the inn

Reserving a spot female Cyborg please and thank you profile up either today or tommorrow.

Hey! Can I reserve a spot for a female subject please?

I'll put up a profile asap. Cheers!

Another female subject, please. I may be a while with the profile, but I'll do my best.

Name: Holly Vanders

Age: 28

Gender: Female

Group: Subject

Appearance: Average height, average build, has long light brown hair which she keeps in a plait. Her eyes are grey and she has slightly pale skin. Her face has no especially distinguishing features although she does have a small scar on her eyebrow from when she was kicked by a horse when she was young.

Goggles:
http://replicatorinc.com/blog/wp-conten ... oggles.jpg


Personality: She is quite quiet, but not due to a lack of confidence, more a feeling that there is no point in saying anything unless it is worth people listening to. She hates people who babble on without purpose. Most of the time she likes to observe what is going on, analyse the situation and then act upon her findings. She has a slightly cold approach to people but isn't unpleasant, merely blunt. She has a very dry sense of humour and doesn't really care if people take offence at it. She is very honest and would often dislike those who aren't as open as she is. While she may not offer up information about herself, she will always answer if asked. She is very intelligent and quite often prefers puzzles to people.

Skills: She is very good at solving puzzles (think rubix-cube) and is also good at working with metal.

Flaws: She judges people harshly as soon as they do anything she considers to be wrong. She is also petrified of horses, due to being kicked by one when she was little.

History: Grew up living with her Father (her Mother died giving birth to her). Her Father was a blacksmith, so she used to help him in the forge quite a lot and as a result has a natural talent with metal and likes to focus on tasks in hand. She spent almost all of her time helping her father or occasionally creating mechanical hand-held puzzles which she would make, solve and then turn into a new one. She always has one to hand. She never really noticed Winchester, as she didn't really think of herself as a part of the community, although she was quite well known due to her father's profession.

Up for love: No

Character Profile (In progress):

Name: Christina Kearns

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Group: Subject

Appearance:

Personality: Christina is beautiful, and very vain about it. If there’s an opportunity to boast, she’ll take it. Her sharp temper is most often getting her into trouble, and she considers herself better than everyone else. She likes to talk a lot, but isn’t interested unless she’s dominating the conversation. She’s fairly intelligent but doesn’t take advantage of this. Christina’s one of those people who tend to drift through life appearing to not care about anything. Her rude, uncaring exterior is actually compensation; she feels very vulnerable.
She enjoys talking about herself, reading, and the rain. She hates spiders and hospitals.

Skills: Can be intelligent, doesn't often let things get to her, calm under pressure.

Flaws: Stuck up, vain, control freak, rude, hot-tempered, liar, compulsive thief.

History:

Up for love: ...Good luck with that one. But you're welcome to try.

Other: I'm going to have a LOT of fun writing this one.

Can I reserve a spot for a male townsperson instead?

Age: 17

Personality: Vivien is powerful but shy. She knows her strength but she also knows not to abuse it. She is humble and mothering and she seems naive and innocent, however she is neither. She is also flirtatious, but not on purpose, she just like to be close to people and make friends because she doesn’t have many as she hardly ever got to go outside her home. She has always wanted to become a ballet dancer but her family didn’t have the money for lessons. She uses violence only when she has to, when she is extremely upset and she is very afraid of the dark and being alone.

Skills: fighting, she can fight surprisingly well for how she looks
Dancing, not really a skill i guess, but its her dream so she dances a lot

Other: (Anything we forgot?)

Name: Michael Flint

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Group: Townsfolk

Appearance: He's about 5' 11''.


History: His father was a doctor and disappeared when Michael was about two years old. His mother died soon after that. He now lives with his grandmother who is a great believer in natural healing and health, (using herbs, roots, physical fitness, ect.) His grandmother didn’t like her son’s choice of becoming a doctor and has decided that she won’t let Michael make the same decision. So she has taught him all she knows about physical and mental health while instructing him on herbs and their different properties.

Personality: He thinks faster then he talks which was a problem when he was younger. Then his grandmother taught him how to meditate so he could concentrate easier, but he still keeps his conversations short if he can. When talking to people he keeps a cool attitude towards them but stays polite. However he doesn’t like people in general which leads him to spend lots of time in the woods. He likes animals and uses most of knowledge in helping them.

Skills: He’s an expert in the martial art and sword style that his grandmother taught him, but he doesn’t own a sword yet. He’s also almost as good as his grandmother in mixing herbal remedies.

Flaws: He’s not very empathetic. He also jumps to conclusions and accepts them as truth unless he comes upon distinct facts that prove otherwise, and even then he’ll be pretty moody about being wrong.

Up for love: Maybe, but probably not.

Other: His relationship with his grandmother is basically a master/apprentice relationship. Michael respects his grandmother but doesn’t really love her.
