Hi, this is Moat. I decided to make a new RPG, because, why not? Now, this game is very simple. Your job is to survive and escape from whatever wilderness you've become lost in. Your scenario will be presented when you join up.
Name: Age: Gender: Health*: A Personality: ---------------------------- You have 15 points. Erase this after reading. Strength: Agility: Endurance: ----------------------------- Proficiency**: Equipment***: Location****: Time Spent: -----------------------------
*-Health is categorized as follows: A) Completely healthy. B) Suffering from lack of something, most commonly water, sleep, or food. C) Disease/Parasite. D) Physical Injury. Seriousness of health problem is as follows: I: Moderate, slightly lowering attributes, slowing your reflexes, and you will need to rest more often. II: Serious, all above symptoms but worse. Sometimes inable to get up, and effects of Type C will start(for example, vomiting), as well as serious blood loss in case of Type D. III: Life-Threatening. It needs to be taken care of soon, or you will die. This system was created by myself and Choazmachine, some credit goes to him.
**What you're good at. Anything reasonable, for example construction would grant you extra skill in building items and shelters.
***-Pick three reasonable items that you would like to take with you. You will gain more as the game goes on.
****-Your location. You can choose where you would like to be(as long as it's reasonable), but you must provide a link to it. If you would like, you can have me pick your location.
Be forewarned, this will be realistic. So, those of you who want to do well, do your research. I will accept as many people as want to join, but it is likely that I will halt submissions after a few people join. Go ahead, and good luck.

Great. Do you agree with the location I picked? Also; you know Construction was just an example, right? You can make your own.

You, Alpha, are what the world would define as an "adventurous spirit". You love to explore everything and have an insatiable curiosity, often going on camping expeditions, but your passion is mountain climbing. Having already tackled many peaks of the Rocky Mountains and the infamous "Killer Mountain" Nanga Parbat, you have decided that it's time to conquer the least-climbed and most-dangerous mountain in all the world: Anna Purna.

You decide to ski up to the slope. You are well equipped, with a radio, rations, water, rope, a survival knife, a tent, a first aid kit, everything you could possibly need. You reach the mountain, and stop for a few minutes to rest and eat. Suddenly, there's a loud rumbling sound. You brush it off and keep eating. Then it gets louder...and louder. A small amount of powdery snow falls on your shoulder. You look up, and curse. It's an avalanche! You hurry, trying to grab as much of your equipment as possible. But the first chunks of glacial ice begin to drop, huge blocks as big as you are. They trigger more and more huge clumps of snow, tumbling down the mountain. You abandon all the equipment but what you have on you; several feet of rope, a knife, and a jug of water, and run away as quickly as you can. Seeing a huge ice-cave behind a boulder, you go into it. It protects you from the snow, which runs over it and continues to run down the mountain. You stop and rest. The good news: you're alive. The bad news: the snow has blocked up the cave entrance. You're trapped. You see a small tunnel in the back of the cave. What will you do?
A) Go investigate the tunnel. B) Try to dig yourself out C) Yell for help D) Wait E) Make your own option

You are a regular deep-sea fisherman, working off the coast of China. You are in your motorboat, sitting there fishing. You have with you, your fishing pole, map, canteen, and survival knife for emergencies. You are heading towards your normal spot when the wind blows the map out of your hands and into open water. Cursing, you send your boat after it, but that just churns up the water and soon the map is gone. For hours, you sail throughout the ocean until you see several islands. Relieved, you begin to go towards them, when your boat hits a reef and is torn. It swiftly begins to sink. What will you do?
A) Cling to the wreckage B) Try to swim towards the islands C) Yell for help D) Try to grab your stuff E) Make your own option

I know the how to... (lacking pratice) Equipment***: Survival Knife,one man tent,canteen. Location****: Great Basin Desert -----------------------------
You are a trained expedition guide, living in the Great Basin Desert(or a little more eastward, towards the Moab Desert) in Utah. You are helping a normal tourist group through the desert. Already, you have climbed several rock formations. Your group stops for a rest. Suddenly, there is a rock slide. You take cover under a large, sturdy leeway cave, as you were taught to do. But the tourists, scared out of their wits, unwisely try to run. You yell at them, to no avail. The rock slide catches up to them easily and they're crushed by several gigantic boulders. The rockslide ends quickly, and you walk out. The landscape looks nothing like it did not ten minutes ago, and you can't recognize anything in order to find your way back. You go to the tourists, checking them. They're all dead, and you're lost. What will you do?
A) Explore the area B) Try to create a camp C) Make your own option

You grab a small chunk of wreckage, the remnants of your boat, and start paddling to the island. You aren't very good at swimming, but you still make it to the island, albeit exhausted. After seeing them, you recognize where you're at as in the Spratly Islands. There are humans here, but unfortunately, most of them are unfriendly and won't help you. Still, you have to survive. What will you do?
A) Make camp B) Explore C) Make your own option

You try to dig yourself out, chipping at the rock-solid ice and packed snow with your knife. It's no use; that snow could be ten feet thick. Giving up, you go back to where you were. What will you do now?

A)I will cautiously check out the other small cave.

C - I check the corpses. Gruesome, I know, but, with little luck I will be able to locate useful itams (tourist tend to carry a lot of weird stuff). Then If it's daylight, I try to find a shaded place to make camp. And then, by nightfall i shall try to explore the surrounding.

You decide to cautiously check out the tunnel. It seems to be a dead end at first, but as you continue, it widens until you're in a separate area as big as the cave you've left, and still it continues. You keep following it, and it goes on for almost a mile. It branches off several times, but you just keep going forward. Finally, as you were about to stop and rest for exhaustion, the tunnel ends, curving strictly upward until it's facing straight toward the sky. It seems to be blocked out by snow just like the other entrance, but you kick at it, and the powdery snow gives way, collapsing. You can see the sky! You can leave the cave! What will you do?
A) Go back and explore the rest of the cave, to be thorough B) Leave the cave C) Make your own option

You decide to make a camp. You're a fisherman, and don't really know how to, but you try your best to weave some nearby branches into a makeshift shelter, spending about two hours on it, needing to go back often as it collapses. Needless to say, you fail epically on it and at the end of the two hours, you have nothing but a big pile of branches and leaves. You concede defeat and decide that a natural shelter would be better.
A) Look for shelter B) Keep trying to build a shelter C) Explore randomly D) Make your own option
You don't know which island you're on.

You decide to search the corpses, gruesome as it is, you might uncover something useful. Unfortunately, it was planned to be a short hike, and them being tourists and all, they weren't well prepared even for that. However, after about fifteen minutes of patting down bodies, you find something that might be useful; a pair of binoculars! You scour the area for a shaded place to camp in. But the best place you can find is under the slim shade of a gnarled albeit large scrub oak. Night is setting. What will you do?
A) Make camp under the scrub oak B) Keep looking C) Make your own option
I have a question and a request for you, before we continue. A: Could you please describe your Survival Lore proficiency in more detail? You know how to what? It's a bit too vague. B: It would be better for you to do things one at a time, for example, this turn you would say "Check the corpses". Then I would respond to that. Then you would say "Make camp". Then I would respond. Then you would say "Explore the surrounding". If we go turn-by-turn, it'd be a lot easier, that way you can adjust to things that happen. Because it won't always be so easy. Oh, one more thing; a tip. It's a lot simpler and faster if you copy and paste the character sheet, instead of typing it down every time, plus that ascertains that it has everything. Okay, I'm done now. xP
Lore means knowledge whithout practical experience. Knowing how to light a fire without ever having done it, knowing what plants are edibile and not poisonous, and knowing what to do when wild animals approaches. But having never done it before you could easily harm yourself; only academic knowledge.
C - If night is setting then there's no sense in camping. Seeing the sun set give me directions. I grab some t-shirt from the corpses too. From the oak scrub I take a branch to hit the ground while I walk (to scare rattlesnakes) and I make my way to the nearest river or road.

You break off a branch from a scrub oak(nobody calls them oak scrubs) and whack it on the ground as you walk to scare away any rattlesnakes that might come your way. You search for a river or road. How will you do so?
A) I'll go around the perimeter in widening circles B) I'll go in a straight line C) I'll zig-zag D) I'll see if I can find any signs that point to a river or road E) Make your own option
Please c/p your character sheet when you respond.

You decide to look for shelter. After a few hours of searching, you find the perfect spot; it's an alcove near the water, in a patch of underground caverns of sorts. It's just big enough for you to squeeze in as well as your stuff, and even has a natural chimney were you to light a fire. But there are two problems: A) You don't know whether it will be above or below the water during high tide. B) You don't know if other predators are already settled there. What will you do?
A) I'll settle there anyway B) I'll check it out first(explore it and wait for tide, to see) then decide C) I'll leave it D) Make your own option

D - I check if plants seems greener toward some direction (water) or if birds stay away from a place (road).
