OOC: Outcasts (open, pm to join)

First the OOC thread - IC to follow soon.

Set on an island known as Sappil, deserted apart from the people sent there, dropped to permanently live on the island not for crimes committed (although not all the inhabitants are law-abiding) but simply because there's something abnormal about them and the designated punishment is isolation. Any country in the world finding they have someone strange that they don't have the stomach to kill outright but want rid of can pay to have them taken and dumped on Sappil.

The island has been specifically designed for its purpose - there are very basic provisions - small concrete houses dotted around, a small medical facility fully kitted out apart from staff, solar powered electricity laid on for lights and basic functions, although no TV's or radios that would allow any involvement with the outside world, plus a warm climate and plenty of animal life and vegetation to spruce up the environment. The island is protected by satellite controlled missiles which only allows designated aircraft in so anyone who escaped would be killed instantly a mile or so away. There's no contact with the rest of the world besides a drop of basic supplies from the air once a month and occasionally a new 'resident' parachuted on. Each 'resident' is carefully catered for, suitable food, clothing and any equipment possibly needed is dropped on the island monthly to lower the chance of anyone trying to escape or fighting each other, but it is still a prison nonetheless.

The reason for your characters punishment would be up to you - could be werewolf, vampire, some kind of mutant, char with magical power etc. Looking for up to 8 players.

Also room for a couple of guards who live permanently on the island in a protected base for a set number of years and then go home to enjoy their high earnings (obviously they'd have to be a little warped/sadistic to have taken the job) - but these are not essential.

PM to join.

Name: Raya Weston

Age: 26

Bio: When she was very young Raya discovered she had telekinetic powers, finding things she wanted to get as a toddler but couldn’t reach happened to fly into her hands if she wanted them enough. Her parents were horrified and took her to doctor after doctor to try and get her ‘fixed’. At first they didn’t believe it was true and when they discovered she really did have unusual power they removed her from her parents for ‘research’. They gave Raya endless tests and found not only was she telekinetic but she had telepathic abilities as well but the more they tested her the more it wore her out each time she tried to use her powers. Eventually after a few months of this even just retrieving one object from across the room with her mind gave her so much pain she refused to carry on and, then seen as dangerous but useless to the medics, she was locked in an asylum, given basic care and education but kept away from most people and objects in case she was a threat to them.

When the doctors in charge of Raya found out about the Sappil program they had her signed up immediately, wanting rid of her. She wasn’t told what was happening but was merely sedated one day, bundled out of the asylum and into a van, kept sedated until she was on a plane to the island where they woke her just in time to strap a parachute on and bundle her out.

Name: Pietr Zanders

Nationality: Ukrainian

Bio: Pietr was born at sea to a sailor and his wife. It is believed that they were sailing in the Devil's Triangle and a heavy storm was at see when they were sailing, and when Pietr was born, the storm stopped and saved those at crew. Besides the miracle at birth, when Pietr started growing up, people around him realized he can change shape into anything he touches. For a while he amazed people but he frightened them as well. When evil elements decided to put him to their use to rob the city banks, his parents decided they should take action to stop him from been manipulated by evil forces, so they had him locked up in their house for some years, where they provided him with what he wanted,except going out of the house.

Then after some years, one morning he awoke, and saw a doctor, standing before him. His parents introduced him as a scientist who studies people with strange abilities and helps them get better. He said he had a cure and against the wishes of Pietr he was injected and then he went into deep slumber, chained and then taken away by the doctor, with the excuse that he needed to study Pietr in closer detail in his laboratory. However, he and his agents, took Pietr to a strange island and abandoned him and left him, all on his own.

Powers: Shape shifting, ability to take the form and the abilities and nature of anything he gets in contact with.

Still open for more players.

Name: Talia Bach
Age: 22
Appearance: Human: View attachment 990129
Wolf: View attachment 990130
Background: While on holiday with her parents Talia was bitten by a wolf when she went out wandering by herself one night. None of them knew anything was wrong with the wolf, it was long gone by the time help arrived, and she was treated for the bite and sent home.

At the full moon the following month her life changed forever. She couldn't stop herself from changing into a beautiful TimberWolf but she felt none of the bloodlust that stories and movies were so fond of portraying.

She would have been content to just spend those three nights of the month curled up in her room at home but her parents freaked out and the next time she changed she found herself being traqualized, loaded into a crate and taken away. When she woke again she was on a strange, lonely, island far away from anything she'd ever known.

Great to see a few players interested already - there's been a few ideas on what the overall purpose of the island/plot so I'm just summing them up here to get a discussion going - I didn't have a set future in mind so I'm open to ideas and going with whatever everyone's happy with.

(thanks to RPMate and Aiden88 for the ideas)

Basically what is the purpose of the island?

- Should it end up as a fight for survival or a place they plan an escape from?

- Island could be a cover up for a government wanting to study the abnormal inhabitants without having to conform to the morals of the rest of the world.

- Maybe the government or owners of the island are hoping to make a group of super soldiers from the mutants, either by letting them reach the stage of fighting each other and seeing who comes out strongest or allowing them to breed to end up with hybrids.

- Could be a large company behind it, hoping to sell the soldiers to the highest bidder, or exploit their powers in some other way.

- There could be flowers/plants placed to release gas/pheromones into the air to drive the inhabitants to breed and also traps to bind characters down for a time, leaving them helpless to resist anyone mating with them.

- Would it be best if the characters had no idea they were being used/exploited until the end, thinking everything that happened was just the fault of the island?

Think that's it for now, open to ideas/decisions!

I like the idea on a a company which forms a type of government in the island with all the worse adverseries the inhabitants had to overcome, a test that the inhabitants themselves are not aware of, and they have no way to escape the island easily because of the dangers they had to face, so they either fight or die.

Maybe the company could be also be working on the project on a super weapon program for Military purposes/ Terrorist organizations.

I also like the idea on the plants with the pheromone gas in the island which makes the inhabitants want to mate, this been another part of the study of the company to see the effects of breeding with the inhabitants.

The characters are to only find out the true intent of the island and the company which runs it only in the end. I added a slight change to the biography with the scientist who can be an antigonist who works for the company in the end.

Name: Scarlet Santuzza

Appearance:
http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m23/crazy_cruzan/Scarlet/287.png

Age: 20

Power: Pyrokinesis

Bio:
For six years Scarlet knew that she was Pyrokenetic. She was about fourteen years of age when she realized this. Her father had been murdered, she loved him dearly they would often sit and talk for hours on end about anything and everything that came to mind. Scarlet was able to truly be herself around him but after his death, she wasn’t so social anymore. It was a month after the funeral that she became aware of her power, kneeling on the grave, staring at the grave stone as different scenarios of his murder, she began to feel warmth under her hands and she gritted her teeth together, becoming angrier, the warmth moving up to her forearms. When she finally turned her attention to the warmth, she gasped seeing the flames that covered her hands and arms and it instantly cut off, she moved her hands from the ground, two singed handprints in the grass.

It had taken her a while to get used to this power, trying to be careful not to burst into flame or catch anything on fire whenever she was sad, angry, or excited though she did have an accident or two, catching the occasional mailbox or tree on fire. Scarlet often wondered if her name was some sort of joke, if her father had this power as well. Maybe she was the only one.

Scarlet had graduated from high school and began going to college and at this time she was finally able to control her powers, only using them when she chose to do so. She was quite surprised the day she was abducted. Scarlet, who never caused trouble unless it was asked for was now in the hands of several different men, who drugged her and sent her off to God knows where.

Well, of course. Conflict is always interesting. =P

Lol, conflict is always welcome and at least it won't be cold on the island now

Definitely like the idea of a company behind it all too. Introducing tests for them would be great to get some action going, then they’d have to each decide if they were going to work with others to keep them both safe or fight with others to try and survive. Not sure of a name but something non specific like Umbrella in R.E. would be good. Having the purpose as developing ‘biological’ (literally!) weapons to help terrorists/military organisations would be good, the aim could be to sell the strongest mutants/their offspring to the highest bidder just like the latest missiles would be.

Looks like a really good plot already, love the idea of them all being watched as some big experiment to find out what mutants the scientists can ‘make’ out of them. The pheromones/gases in the plants would be a really good twist – maybe there could be a range of different ones, all with different effects. One might give that person an uncontrollable urge to have sex but another might not affect them personally but makes everyone near them desperate to have sex with them. Another might heighten their arousal so they come incredibly easily over and over again (making it really hard to get anything done until it wears off ) while another one stops them coming so even without the pheromone making them want to have sex they eventually can’t help themselves, wanting to try anything to try and get off. There could be other more general ones to make them more aggressive/more peaceful/happier etc too. Maybe each plant can release any of them and the scientists watching them can control exactly which one is released, so they can mess with each inhabitant the way they want, especially if they want a particular hybrid or want to see how well two specific ‘mutants’ fight.

Any scientists/guards/staff on the island when needed could be NPC that any of us can control, unless someone specifically wants to play one.

RPM, since you want to keep your guy out of the mix for now, I might have Talia pick up his scent but won't have her follow it.

I expect a first conflict to arise between Pietr and Scarlet. Stay put and watch and enjoy

I'm happy with any conflict/plot twist that seems vaguely reasonable to the plot! And looking forward to the first argument - Raya is still a bit confused and settling into it but she'll warm up as the others do

Scarlet but if you want to get technical it was Pietr... xD =P

Lol possibly the fire can be controlled somehow, maybe the scientists who controlled the island could make artificial rain to put off the fire and the fire could enrage other species living in the island and a fight could break out?
