Riding on an airliner to the UK, your plane goes down due to engine failure. You just barely survive and as you retrieve your items, the plane lights on fire. You are forced to take what you can and run, watching your other belongings burn.

The island itself is obsidian, over time, the sea has broken the rock away and allowed trees and other vegetation to grow. The climate is tropical. Farther down the island, there is a volcano. There is one beach but the rest of the island is far above sea-level. There are two underground cave systems. One only accessible through diving underwater, the other through a narrow path the beach gives way to. The underwater one is on the south side of the island, the one near the beach on the north. The volcano is to the west. The east is a cliff, other than that it is a dense tropical area with a clearing smack dab in the middle. Put blueberry in your CS if you read this. There are a few streams scattered about.

Objective: Survive.

Rules:
Please consult with the other player before seriously injuring or killing their character.
No godmodding
Please use common RP manners
Ask before creating a major event (fire, etc)
Use grammar
(Other guidelines may be added throughout the story)
Put pie in your CS if you read this
Posts that do not follow rules will be ignored and in some cases, the poster will be excluded from the RP

CS (mine for example):
Name: Cole
Gender: Male
From: Minnesota
A.g.E: 18
Appearance: Black hair, military cut. Muscular build, fairly tall. He doesn't sun burn easily.
Bio: Lived in MN working for his father to study wildlife. Sometimes shows animal-like behavior. Natural leader. He is a survivalist.
On the plane because: Going for a survival trip in the UK.
Sample (time on plane to when it crashes): Being crammed in this seat is making me uneasy, I long to stretch out. My bag is in my lap, it's the only luggage I need. In it's contents are a machete, a fire starter, a medipack, a knife and a pair of extra clothes. I had some seasoning in a baggie for food. The airport had less security than I had first imagined, letting me take what I have. My feet move restlessly. Looking out the window, everything seemed so peaceful. The clouds and the sea...
Suddenly, the plane starts going through a major turbulence area... Or so I thought. Moments later, the pilot exclaims we are having engine failure and we are about to crash. "Do not panic," he says. I find that almost impossible. I strap the bag around my back and listen for the next set of instructions. About half a minuet later, the plane starts going down. Mid air, the engine explodes and the plane splits in half. There is no way we will survive like this. I jump out of the plane, just over the ocean.
The jump puts me about 20 feet under and I struggle to surface while holding my breath. I black out moments later. Washing up on the beach of a mysterious island, I cough out water and look about me. A few bags of luggage were sprawled about but mine was still on my back. Good. The smoke coming from the south indicates the plane crashed there. I doubt many survived. I decide to check it out later. Coughing up more water, I find I am injured in a few places.

Name: Spencer Noble

A.g.e: 28

Gender: Male

From: UK

Appearance: Spencer has medium length, brown hair. He has green eyes with a yellow tinge. He wears glasses because it's hard to see without them in his right eye. He has olive skin, fair built and stands 5"11. He weighs roughly 170 pounds.

Bio: He works at a big corporation in the UK, stable-life and a girlfriend back in UK. He has no children yet, and he was going to propose in the next year.

On the plane because: Sealed a deal with another company in the US and is travelling back.

Sample: I only had carry-on luggage because I was only in the US for a day. It contains, my favorite chocolate bar, some clothes, extra pair of shoes and a bottle of water. I was about to get to leave for the restroom when we enter turbulence. I sit back down when it gets worse... I hear that the engine is about to fail and I clench my bag and put it on my back when the plane splits in half. I grab the life vest under the seat, rip it off and jump out. I tried to land straight on my feet, I surfaced with my bag, the life vest and swam to the island.

I finish stretching and I start walking towards the end of the beach when I see a man older than me come onto the shore. I am not quite sure if I should be saying hello or not but I walk over to him anyway. I watch him from about two feet away as I continue stretching my arm. Hopefully it will stop hurting soon. "Did you come from the plane too?" I ask, remembering my voice.

I started swimming to the island when I see another man on it. I emerge from the cold Atlantic and stand on the beach with my left arm hurting pretty bad. When he asked me if I came from the plane I hesitated since I was so confused btu I got the words out, I answer "Yes, yes I did."

Name: Bernadette Mason (Bernie)
Gender: Female
From: London, UK
A.g.E: 18
Appearance: Bernie has dark hair which is naturally very curly an goes to just past her shoulders. Her eyes are brown. While she would normally wear make-up, she does not on the island. She is physically fit from her father getting her to complete assault courses when she complains about being bored. She was wearing a simple pair of skinny jeans, Converse and a t-shirt when she was on the plane and all her other clothes were in her other suitcase. She is about 5'10. In her hand-luggage, she has a tin that her dad makes her take everywhere. He is in the SAS, and while Bernie gets annoyed by the small tin, she takes it anyway. It contains processed flint and a striker, iodine tablets, salt tablets, beta light, a small mirror, something rubber and stretchy that can hold lots of water and a length of string.
On the plane because: Returning to the UK
Sample (time on plane to when it crashes): Bernie's bag was under the seat in front of her, and she was listening to her iPod as she looked out the window. The plane started jerking. She paused her music and removed her headphones, to see if the captain was saying anything. He was. Bernie pulled the bag from out of under the chair and slipped it onto her shoulder, then got out her life jacket She pulled the string out of her tin and tied her bag to her life-jacket. Then everything happened so fast that she didn't know what was happening. The plane was falling, and then it split, and then she was falling, and then she crashed into the water, her life-jacket holding her up and her bag. The impact knocked her unconscious, but she drifted into a current that took her towards the island until the tide swept her onto the beach.

Blueberry, pie.

The man sounded like he had come from the UK. I could be wrong though. "I'm going to check out the plane. You coming?" Not really speaking to anyone, not really waiting for an answer, I walk to the edge of the jungle. Palm trees were growing near the beach and I could use them for food and drink later. Climbing a tree, I notice that the branches were so close together that you could almost walk on them. This jungle is no joke... I startle a group of birds and they fly off. Better by tree than foliage, I suppose and I start to make my way to the smoke.

I start crawling forward and when I look back, I see an unconscious female about my age wash up. Going back the way I came, I help her out of the water. I don't want to be bothered that much but I don't want people to die either.

Her eyes fluttered open and she rolled over quickly, then got up and took a few steps backwards. 'I knew gap years were overrated.' She thought bitterly, deflating her life-jacket and untying her bag. It was soaked, and everything it in was useless here - a book, her iPod, her mobile. The only thing worthwhile was her father's waterproof tin which, for once, she was grateful to have with her. She shoved it into her jeans pocket. She paused before speaking, waving in the direction of the forest. "I'm going over there. To get wood. Firewood. For a signal." Then she strode off.

This person was interesting. A signal fire? Hmm, I myself would not care if I was rescued or not but I follow anyway. "There's- the plane..." I pointed off towards the smoke. I wasn't really used to speaking this much. For the last year I had been in the wild alone. You don't talk that much when you are alone. At least I don't. "We should..." I try to formulate a bit. "We should check that out first." I turn around to face the man from earlier and wave him over so he can talk with us as well.

She glanced towards the plane. "Fine. But then I'm making a fire." She ran through a list of things in her head that she had either read about or her father had spoken about. There was a lot, but she was capable of doing it. She ached from hitting the water service and just wanted to lie down, but that was not a viable option. "Lead the way."

I didn't follow this guy to the plane, I just sat down, opened my bag and see what happened to my contents. My chocolate bar, still in contact. MY clothes pretty soggy and for my shoes, they are also soggy. The one thing I took out was my bottle of water and took a small sip and put it back, when I notice another survivor, this time a girl.

I start to feel the heat as my shirt dries off. Right now, the heat was my worst enemy... I just got done with -10 degree temps in where I used to live and this island is around 90 and very humid. Wow, six hours and I am in the dead of summer. I will just have to stick to the shade. "I guess he's not coming." I say. This talking thing is getting easier. "Wait," I tell her. Sitting down, I pull off my soggy hiking boots and socks. Normally the boots are waterproof but they aren't meant for swimming. Last thing I need is fungus on my feet. I stuff them in my bag. "Okay lets go, unless you don't want to. However, if you guys are concerned with rescue, you may be interested to hear that planes normally have flares." I look at each of them and head off into the jungle, choosing a path some animal must have made. If we ever meet up with it, I will see if I cant catch it.

She followed silently, thinking as she walked, listening to the methodical squelch of her shoes when she took each step. It was uncomfortable, but they protected her feet from any bugs or sharp things on the ground.

The ground was sharp against my feet but it was alright, they had become hard from the past year in the northern wilderness. Stepping on frozen pine needles and twigs was something I barely felt anymore. I was fine with being quiet but my father taught me to make light conversation, so I did. If she didn't feel like talking, so be it. "So, why were you on the plane?" I suppose asking for names would have been better but aw well.

"Gap year between sixth form and university. Decided to travel. Suppose I was unaware of quite how much travelling I'd be doing." She gestured to the wildlife, a broad, vague movement. "What were you doing there?"

I laugh a bit at her comment. "That was my home. Decided to go to the UK for my father. Our family has a tradition that when you are 18, you go study in another area. Its not uncommon that we break off connections in our line of work because we get absorbed. I wont be missed. I chose the UK because I heard it had some good rabbit hunting opportunities." The trail breaks off and I start to climb a tree nearby. "Better by tree than ground from here on."

I climb up the tree and as I reach one of the lower branches, I come face to face with a boa constrictor. Stiffening as I grab its attention, I slowly pull out my knife and freeze. The boa extends its head close to mine. I stop breathing. Its head is inches away from my nose, when I jump away from the branch and cut the snake's head off in one movement. Landing on the ground a bit clumsily with its head next to me, I sit there panting for a bit, sweat now peaking on my forehead. The head of the boa constrictor is still moving, trying to bite an opponent it can no longer see.
Climbing back up the branch, I can see the snake was fairly large at about fifteen feet. Still small for some boas. Taking the body that still tries to wrap around my arm, I bring it down next to the girl. "We can eat this later with some fruit." I start to gut the snake as it stops moving, leaving the insides in a pile near me, I skin the snake. This is perfect. I stuff the meat into my bag and cut the snake skin into pieces. Making sure they fit around my arms and feet, I cut holes where I can insert string. I climb back up the tree and cut off a large piece of a vine. I tie my makeshift shoes and arm guards on, I am now ready to move on. I stuff the rest of the snakeskin and my knife in my bag as well. "Well, there ought to be more where that came from. You ready?"
