Sometimes... Sometimes, things really don't go as you'd expect them to. Successes turn into failures, jokes into cruel derision, and even profits turn into losses. Even death is often sudden, and people, being as they are, never really see it coming. But, as they say, there can always be stranger. But what could be stranger than death, whose existence, though understandable in the scientific context, still cannot be fully grasped?
You wake amidst a sea of red and white grass, which obviously sets off some alarms inside your head. Perhaps you were studying for an exam, reading a book, even browsing the internet or playing a game- whatever it was, you're certain that this was NOT where you had been before. The grogginess of sleep is rapidly replaced by alarm, though, as you turn and look at yourself; you're certainly not the person you had been. Maybe you look the same, maybe you look radically different; whatever the case is, something is DEFINITELY not right here. The clothes you wear only give a similar impression; they seem to be made from leather and wool and the like, quite similar to what those in the Middle Ages wore way back when.
Thrown into such a strange scenario, you come to notice that a few other people seem to be acting much as you are now- with panic, confusion, and denial. But you still remain here, lost in this plain of unfamiliar grass.
From here, your adventure in a foreign land begins, though obviously not of your own volition. Do you try to escape whatever force has dragged you into this mess, or rise to the challenge this world has so carelessly fraught upon you?
------
So, as you may have ascertained already, this RP will entail the lives of a small group of people (I'm hoping 4-5 at most) from present-day Earth as they are tossed into a fantasy world with absolutely no prior warning whatsoever. Though they may appear different, their memories remain the same as they were back on Earth, albeit with a few extras added in (like the sudden knowledge of a foreign language). The goal? Well, that's for the players to decide... For now, at least.
The world as things stand right now: -Characters are not necessarily human anymore; elves, dwarves, beastfolk, and the like all exist in this world. Though your character may, by some chance or circumstance, remain a human, their appearance may differ greatly (or not at all) from what it used to be. Of course, that doesn't mean that they can't look the same as they did before. -Magic does exist in this world; it is categorized under six elemental affinities: fire, water, earth, air, holy, and unholy. The type of magic, in turn, is categorized by its performance: beginner, intermediate, expert, and master. Most, if not all magic, is cast through incantations or magic circles. As of their entry into the world, though, no player character has knowledge that magic even exists here. -As was common back in the day, interracial prejudice is prominent; those who associate between races are few and far between. At the end of the day, only merchants and mercenaries really have such contact, if at all. -No character has knowledge about the world or the current location; that remains unknown for the moment to all involved parties. It may or may not remain that way, depending on how the characters act in the future.

Name: Lizzy Carmichael
Age: 18
Appearance: Lizzy's hair is styled in a short, chestnut pixie-cut, which matches her pixie-esc style. Her pale skin and freckles go well with the lavender knit dress she wears almost all the time. She stands a bit tall for a female, at 5'10". Race: Caucasian
Personality: Lizzy is very solemn; not the type of person you'd expect to find out socializing or making new friends. She never really had any friends.
Skills: She is quite the artist, which helps entertain herself while in this strange land.

Name: Cian Donner Age: 19 Appearance: Cian stands at five foot two, and is often mistaken for a young teen. She has blonde hair cut in a pixie cut [Will provide link below to what I imagine], and 'keep-green' eyes [Will provide link]. She is one hundred pounds, and her ears are the only thing to have topically changed, other than clothing. Her ears are pointed now, but her left ear is split down the middle, with an accompanying scar beneath, as if someone cut her ear open and got her head at the same time. She is dressed in a tunic and stockings, with rough-looking leather boots along with leather fingerless gloves with cotton lining on the inside and a short length, ending two finger-widths from the end of her palm. Race: Elf Personality: Cian's personality is complex, and is rather difficult in explanation, though if possible, she seeks any information she can find. Skills: Cian is skilled in persuasion, along with some basic archery, knot-tying, can tell the direction from the sun, and has some basic knowledge of first aid, but is severely lacking in hand-to-hand combat or swordplay. History: Cian grew up in a small town, reading anything she could get her hands on. She kept her head down, however, and as such her early childhood is not of much note. She has a twin brother named Cailean, read way too much, and was known as a teen for being the one who brought treats in for the teachers at holidays. Other: You didn't put a gender slot, so I used the feminine pronouns in Cian's bio as much as possible.

Name: Michael Oathborne
Age: 17.
Appearance: Michael is a young man of average height, maybe a bit smaller (5'5") with medium length, messy, brown hair (with a cowlick that falls with its weight) and green eyes. He is usually seen wearing a white, long sleeved wool shirt, with a brown leather tunic over it. He also wears pants of the same material and black combat boots.

Personality: Michael is an extremely cheerful boy, always looking for the bright side of things. He doesn't tend to think before he makes promises or rushes in, but he'll never turn his back on someone in need.

History: Michael's history is pretty unclear, or blurry from his point of view, but from what he can remember he worked at a dojo, cleaning and sometimes practicing with a weapon when he was bored.

| Why does everybody have the ability to sword fight and be trained in hand to hand combat? We just got here for no reason, unless you are taught by somebody, this is full of war hardened and abused children |

Name: Mark Bixby
Age: 24
Appearance: Mark towers at a height of six foot seven, and has a bulky physique which makes him unusually large for a Tiefling. His hair is long and black, which is straight and flows behind his back to his shoulders. His face is squared shaped with white, deep set orbs for eyes. His teeth are pointed and his ears are nonexistent, with holes replacing them. His horns are about four inches thick and are pointed back, slightly curved. His skin is a pale red and covered in dark red markings that look like an ancient language. His tail is about 5 feet long and non-prehensile with minor ridges going down. He is wearing a black tabard with chain sleeves that reach his elbows and dark grey wool trousers. He has a pair of leather boots and gloves.
Race: Tiefling
Personality: Thick Skin - Working as a cashier tends to put him in the position of taking abuse from dissatisfied customers, but that doesn't mean he can't get angry. Pragmatic - Get from point A to point B, he's try to get things done logically and reasonalbly. Curious - If he sees something new, he's going to find out what it is. Stoic - Enduring and emotionless in the face of danger or anything really. Chances are he's not going to show that he is surprised or gloomy.
Skills: Power Sleeping - A demanding boss keeping him busy whenever possible made it required for him to find sleep whenever possible. Building - He knows how and what you need to make the most basic buildings possible. Basic first aid - Minor cuts and sprains he can fix, broken arms not so much.
History: The noisy, ever awake city is in constant need of new buildings for that new fast food restaurant. Mark worked with the DNF Constrution company for five years after dropping out of college. Turns out, getting on the bad side of the Chancellor's daughter is a bad idea. Broke, jobless, and buried in student loans, Mark had to live in his car for a few years until he found a cheap apartment downtown. With little funds for any type of expensive hobby and often too tired to do any physical exercise, Mark enjoyed going to the library whenever he had downtime.
