[ based off the new movie “The 5th Wave” ]
Our town wasn’t always like this. Lonely. Polluted. Quiet. It once was a nice town with lots of happy neighbors and townsfolk. But the invasion changed us all. It changed all of the towns, and cities across the globe.Today is Monday. Six weeks earlier today, we were invaded by the aliens. Nobody knows why they chose Earth to control, or why they got tired of their own planet, but that day, their spacecraft just showed up and landed in the middle of the road, crushing some unlucky citizens. They took us as prisoners, locked us in pods, and are now experimenting on us. Only a few of the smart children that haven’t lost their sense of creativity yet have found hiding spots that the aliens don’t know about. Those children are our saviours. Our only hope to end this invasion and continue with our lives normally. They may not know it yet, but Earth’s life is in their hands. And we need them now.
T H E I N V A S I O N ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Snap! Crunch! Snap! Crunch! You chomped on your red apple that you picked from the tree above you. You sat on it’s most comfortable and sturdy branch and looked out at what your town has become, as you loudly chew on your apple. And then you look over on the right side of you. A shadowy figure with glowing yellow eyes was glaring down at you. It raised it’s hand to touch your forehead, but you quickly grabbed it’s hand just as a glowing green light shined from its hand. You shove it’s hand up to it’s own forehead. You hear a loud buzzing noise as the figure falls to the ground. As you think to yourself what kind of human can do something like that, you look over at the now unconscious figure that laid on the ground before you. You finally realized that this creature was no human-- it was an alien.
You stand there stunned, and helpless as the alien writhed in pain on the ground. You could save it’s life and question it, or kill it then and there. Without much thought on what you were doing, you just jumped on it’s head. The alien’s blood splattered all over you as it’s head deflated. You just realized you made a huge mistake. Instead of asking it where it’s spacecraft was hidden, you killed it?! You were highly angry with yourself for making this stupid decision. Without much to do at that tree anymore, since your apple was splattered with alien blood, you decided to go to your hidden shelter for the rest of the day.
When you got home? There was civilization. Kids near your age were all crowded around the area where your shelter was hidden, all splattered with alien blood too. “I never knew there was more than one survivor out here,” you said to yourself, “and to all have the same shelter near each other.”

A couple notes of constructive criticism:
-What's with the age limit? Being limited to playing a teenager is not only a cliché, but severely restricts you. And there's no real reason for this, either, aside from "the book was about teenagers so you have to be a teenager." This is my biggest problem with the RP, really.
-The writing is okay aside from some weird-sounding lines ("highly angry with yourself for making this stupid decision" stands out in particular), but the last paragraph is.. bad. Earlier it is implied your shelter is "hidden", but suddenly a town is there. The reaction sounds.. Odd, as well.
-I'm only partway through the book, so maybe this hasn't come up yet (should've marked spoilers in that case; i cant even believe you omg!!1!), but I don't recall the aliens ever actually landing and taking on any form aside from taking over actual humans. Just a nitpick, though.
Allow people more freedom with character creation and maybe improving on the writing, and the RP is pretty good. Hell, I'm bored. I'll probably join this if you remove the age limit. |

Slacktivist, you're talking about the book, but he's talking about the movie, as stated, '[ based off the new movie “The 5th Wave” ]'.
Maybe it's different to the book? Haven't seen/read either yet even though I know quite a bit about it. |

Well, the presence of "based off of" explains it, if it's set in a different universe altogether. However, I do have to point out that the book came first (and was better; why does Movie Casey have an *electronic* EOTech after an EMP?).
I'm gonna join this soon, probably. |

@Slacktivist
I'm not making it entirely off the movie. It's just that I got the aliens, and sort of idea from the movie. I have not read the book, so I can't say anything about that.
Also, the teenagers are the only people you can play as because they still have their "creativity" where the adults don't, so they didn't know where to hide when the aliens arrived.
The reason everyone has their shelter in the same area, is because that's a "safe-zone" that the aliens don't know about, so it'd be clever to go there. |

So, your response clarified some things, though it's still odd that the person in the intro is so surprised.
Still, "teens are creative" is a very bad justification for such a narrow age limit, or even any age limit at all. Even if this is the case, wouldn't kids be able to survive just as well? And saying that none of the adults could survive is just as ridiculous.
The rest of the RP is good, though. Respect. |

Yeah, I do see your point, although RPing as children won't be as enjoyable for this RP as they might be for others. Also, the character in the opening post does seem a bit weird when he questions himself. Thanks for the respect though. :)

| Still, removing the age limit allows for a greater depth of character customization. I do want to join this, but being allowed to be a little older or a little younger is something that should be allowed. |

I think I might repost this with no age limit and some more plot developments that I wanted to add but forgot. |
