You live on a train. It's called 'The Jackson' but most people call it 'The Orphan Train'. This is because it goes from town to town, arranging dates for people to come and adopt a child. The process for it is bland. They stuff you in your best clothes, walk you around the town for a little and make sure to put in a good word about a few kids who've been on the train for awhile to complete strangers, and then line you up on a stage that is set up in some random building and let strangers poke a prod at you. They ask questions that you are required to answer. Siblings are torn apart by this, as usually the stronger boys are adopted by people looking for a working boy, and the 'prettier' girls are usually adopted by people who intend to farm money off of them in pagents. However the others.. their futures are not outlined, but most people know it will be dark and cruel. Your life on this train is bland, but some people are speaking of escape. Will you join them?

I might as well joined right now. I'd try to be as detailed as I can while still not quitting or maybe I'll make a quick one and remake my character in the morning.
Name: Zephyr Matriarch A.ge:(8-16) 14 Gender: Male Physical Appearance: (DONT LIST YOUR CLOTHING.) Caucasian skin with short brown hair and brown eyes. If I can, he has bandage wrap covering his left hand up to the bottom of his shoulder, he refuses to take the wrapping off. Personality:Zephyr is a rebel. He often ignores rules he doesn't approve of. But other than being a rebel, Zephyr can be nice and open-minded. Usually though, he is insensitive but if the emotion is a bit dramatic than normal, he would notice. He refuses to talk about his parents. Inventory: Zephyr only owns a simple can of mints but only eats them when he feels his breath is starting to put people off. Bio: [COMING SOON] |

(Sure Alpha)
Taylor sighed as she sat on her bed, one of the ones at the very top row. She dangled her legs down and let them swing freely. The people in the bed next to her were talking about escape, and she wanted to join them so badly. |

| I lay there in my bed at the complete bottom. I had the blanket over my entire body covering myself. I heard rumors of escape but I don't know who to talk to. |

Taylor carefully climbed down the ladder and hit the floor, walking by sleeping bodies of young children that were worn out from all the walking around today. They had just gotten back on the train from a stop. Her best friend had gotten adopted. She let her mind wander back to the memory.
The fourteen year old jumped for joy as she hugged her new parents. The hurt in Taylor's eyes was clear, but she forced a smile and choked out a few words. "I'm happy for you." She said. It was very throaty and forced sounding. The girl quickly ran off.
Taylor shook the image away. She would make another friend.. |
