This thread takes place in 2035 Deep beneath sands the Sahara Desert lies a massive aquifer. Recently a large number of valuable minerals were discovered in the tunnels through which the water flowed. A mine was dug into the sand and rock, down into the tunnels to retrieve the minerals about two years ago. Two days ago four miners in one of the many natural caverns that the mine connected to had gone missing, a bloody trail was found leading to one miner's half eaten corpse and a a set of bloody three towed prints leading of to a stream leading into a completely water filled passage. Whatever it was appeared to be bipedal and judging from the marks on the miner's body, has 3 massive claws on a pair of forelimbs.
~Notes~ There actually is a massive aquifer beneath the Sahara desert, however the rest is fiction. The majority of the mine's security forces have been moved underground to protect the miners. ~Rules~ I control the monster(s) and important NPCs (like the foreman.) ~Recommendations~ Don't fight other players, you're all on the same side here. ARM YOURSELVES! Don't venture to far away from the major parts of the mine alone. Use a melee weapon with some weight to it, the monster(s) have a tough exoskeleton. Remember, you're in a cave, being able to turn around and/or draw your weapon quickly means the difference between life and death. If you've ever played Endless Light the monster(s) are quite similar to the ones from said game.
CS Name: A.ge: Appearance: Primary weapon: Secondary weapon: Melee Weapon: (like combat knife or pick axe. Nothing like katanas, why would a miner carry a katana to work?) Job: Security or Miner? Bio: (at least 6 words) Other: (Optional) Theme Music: (optional)
Primary weapons: Weapon name: Coyote Description: a full automatic SMG that is lacking in accuracy but is very easy to maneuver in the tight tunnels.
Weapon name: Long Shot Description: a highly accurate rifle, bolt action, and capable of getting through a combat helmet in a shot
Weapon name: Recon Description: A highly accurate assault rifle, It can be switched between semi auto, full auto and three shot burst. However due to the length of the barrel it is hard to maneuver in tight spaces although it has better armor penetration than the coyote.
Secondary Weapons: Weapon Name: Desperado Description: A very large caliber magnum, capable of killing a man with a single shot to the chest. However it has intense recoil and only 6 shots when full loaded (it is a revolver). Though it is semiautomatic few people shoot it like it is seeing as how even at close range a second shot immediately after the first will likely miss
Weapon name: Raider Description: An inaccurate but full auto pistol with a large clip and quick reload time.
Weapon Name: Ghost Description: A silenced pistol with a fair degree of accuracy and is semi automatic. |

On one of my night patrols, I sneak to the stream where the prints were found. I sit in the dark, mourning, when I hear a noise. I get up, alert. I flip on the light to the side of my helmet, and point my Recon. I back against the wall closest to the door. When I see red eyes gleaming in the darkness, I shoot in the direction to hear a wail. Sprinting down the cavern, I raise the alarm. Men, some without even their boots on, step out of the tents with firearms. They search the area, but when they find nothing, I am called to the head of security. (Your cue, Kerion.) |

(Actually that miners were found underground, in a cavern they're busy sealing off right now. Remember what I said about me controlling the monsters? Let me guess, you've played endless light.) |

| (No, but 4 years of rp experience and hardcore WoW playing makes you a good rper, I guess. So make those actions void? Or how about I am attacked after resting at a wall eating a sammich during my break?) |

(Okay. Sounds good.)
I continue my patrols, and make some people go back to their mining areas. (Was curfew made after the attack? I would assume so.) Once I have walked around most of the near caverns, I go back to the security camp and into my tent. |

| (Well sort of, the miners headed to the outside are required to travel in groups of 8 with at least 3 security guards. I want to make this clear THIS IS UNDERGROUND! Night and day don't really effect the guys who work down here.) |

(But there is a natural clock in a human/animal brain. It is natural for your brain to feel tired at night, whether you just woke up or just finished a marathon.)
I sit in my tent, doing push-ups until I collapsed, and when I would collapse I would roll over and do twice as many sit-ups as a self-punishment. My roommates/tentmates were looking at me like I was insane, but I ignored them. |

(Actually when humans are underground for a long time they loose that biological clock for the most part. It is predominantly governed by the passing of the sun, however as many men have a set sleeping pattern or usually get tired at a constant rate they will often stay on schedule. Fascinating topic to look into really.) (You wouldn't have a tent, you'd have a room, probably sharing it with 2-6 other people This is an established mine after all and not some frontier hole in the ground.) |

(Ah.)
Once I am so tired I cannot stand, I crawl/roll to my bed, and fall into a restless sleep. |

| I sit by one of the makeshift barricades that had been erected, running over my weapon, making sure everything was in working order. |

Name: Sarah Ann Trudy
A.ge: 27
Appearance: ((I haz a link. Pm me if you must know :3))
Primary weapon: Recon
Secondary weapon: Raider
Melee Weapon: Sledge Hammer
Job: Miner
Bio: Sarah lived in the United States for most of her life, getting a college degree in accounting, and moved to an area near the Saharan Desert after a job opportunity arose. She was able to afford a small home, but lost her job. Nobody hired her, and she was forced to get a job as a miner. She absolutely hates her job, and frequently argues with her fellow miners and is always seen bickering about her job and how she shouldn't have moved here. Other: She may look weak, but is somewhat stronger than she looks. (Nothing to big, though. She's just a bit strong.)

| I wake up in the night, and go to the fire in the middle of the room. I sit next to it, and think of better times. |

I sigh and get up, slipping my gear on without a sound. I walk through the caverns with my lantern on. I wasn't going anywhere in particular, just walking. |

| I sat in the "room" I always slept in, leaning against the wall. "God, I HATE this." I muttered. It was so stuffy down here. I sat impatiently, waiting for the time to start mining. "How much longer?" I asked the others in the room. |
