[Hazzard]

I'm back, and I've finally been resurrected after a long spell of complications in my personal life. Okay, I'm extremely determined to go through with this RP till the very end, because Hazzard has always failed to deliver the ending to his stories. Enough chatter, let's begin...

Background Story:

Ancient myths told of a forgotten race which once walked the planet with humans, and were casted away for a reason unknown to all historians till this present day. Many have wondered what happened to this enigmatic race, many have questioned whether they truly existed, but now they will know for certain that this mystery breed is real. And discarding them was the biggest mistake mankind ever made...

Present Day:

Natural disasters have been plaguing the planet for the past two months, the tragedies have escalated from wildfires and flooding - now tornadoes, volcano eruptions and deadly tsunamis. Religious factions have reached the conclusion that it is judgment day, they pray and attempt to preach to those who have sinned, wishing them to atone for their sins until it is too late. The civilization as we know it has been shattered by the planets corruption; looting, vandalism, murder and all the works have overruled the punishment system once at the threshold by politicians, and those in higher positions in the world. Some have claimed to of seen paranormal events unfold before their very eyes; witchcraft, ghosts, and countless other things you would only see on Halloween or horror movies. Humans were in a living nightmare, and it seemed nothing could stop this chaos engaging around them. However, there was still hope, no matter how dim it was - Somehow a terminal rift had been opened in a location on the planet. This void would transport handpicked warriors to their destination, which was the parallel universe: Nucleus, where four planets were stationed and controlled at the fury of the banished "forgotten" race.

Mission: Our adventure sparks off in Terra, one of the planets in Nucleus, and the holiest of them all. They welcome a whole variety of different races, being very multi-ethnic and embracing new culture. However, they wouldn't hesitate to prosecute and slaughter any humans, who appear to be their worst despised enemies, but a visit from the accursed race seems much unlikely, almost impossible. Warriors have no idea why they've been brought to this strange world, but are thankful they're not dying away on their homeland, but safe from a obvious gruesome death. Some of you may possess talents, and use them wisely. You are the underdogs in a world completely the opposite of your former planet, anything is possible - magic; spiritually, physically and mentally, plus many more abilities. This journey will become clearer to you later on in your endeavoring, brace yourselves, because you must accomplish Serenity and Freedom for your planet...

Rules:
See Void's Rules
Do not God-Mod. This includes assuming you hit/they miss, or randomly making items appear

Have Fun
There will be a battle system, similar to an FFX turn based system, and I will assign you appropriately with a decent amount of points to spend on stats, after all character entries are given in.

OOC: A quick Q&A Hazzard...

1) Will the characters know of their abilities when the story starts?

2) Are all characters from the same world?

3) How about a sub-monitor? I could help if you want.

1) Once all character entries are given in, and I have a reasonable number of participants then I'll move on smoothly to the next step which is your abilities. The whole character building stat system will be rather similar to how I conducted my old RP's, so don't expect something too new.

2) All characters are from the planet Earth.

3) Yeah, thanks for offering. You can help out whenever I don't seem to be posting too much or if I'm unavailable. Nice to have you on the team, TTR.

OOC: Cool Hazzard. Just feel me in on some ideas you have for the RP so I can keep up with you and know what to do if your ever away. Other than that, I'll also be enforcing the RPs rules and making sure everything run to your liking man.

OOC:	As if I'd miss out on this. Also, Iodine as a weapon? Best. Weapon. Evar.

Name: Lauren Juice Quinsfield "Juice" (She was named for her grandmothers, one of whom was a hippy long before and after it was fashionable)
Age: 19
Gender: F
Original Profession: Juice just got kicked out of a prestigious university. She is currently happily unemployed, and has been for a good 3 or 4 months.
New Profession: Pirate Thief (please god say you can become a pirate!)
Weapon: Juice was in the middle of serving up some nummy fruit salad and ice cream for the residents of her current lodgings when she got teleported, so she's currently armed with only her friend's valued, antique pearl-handled paring knife. This is awkward, as she can't put it anywhere: the blade isn't folding and her hoodie pocket is too big. She doesn't want to put it in her jeans pocket or waistband as she'd slice open her tummy/bottom. The fact that she's holding a knife uncertainly gives the impression of a slightly crazy person. However, she finds it easy to hold her own in a fight and can be quite vicious and sadistic using only her nails and bare hands, using her weight to her advantage. She's naturally a bloodthirsty fighter despite having had no training.
Personality: Friendly, lazy and generally open-hearted. She rarely gets roused. She makes and breaks friends easily. Juice is hugely intelligent, but her laziness counteracts this. She makes for good conversation if she can be bothered. She just likes to relax and go with the flow. Acting's always been her best skill, and she can make scarily good use of this valuable trait if need be. Lies come easily to her, but she'll never lie unless absolutely necessary. She practises nail art religiously on both her toenails and fingernails, and the nails of anyone who happens to be passing.
Biography: As a child, Lauren didn't have friends. She had lessons. Hundreds of lessons, horseriding, clarinette, extra lessons off teachers - all of her time was spent learning and being pushed to succeed. She aced all of her exams and was secured a place in Oxbridge to study mathematics and the classics. When she went to university, she lost the pressure her parents put on her to succeed and began to live for the first time. Her excellent grades and stunning figure were soon lost to the enjoyment of being able to do whatever she wanted. She didn't bother with any of her lectures or courses, and as a result got booted out. Her parents disowned her when she came home for Christmas for the second time, in a worse state than she was the previous year. They considered her a failed prototype and decided not to make the same "mistakes" with her younger sister and brother. Juice is currently living off the generosity of her friends in various flats around Cambridge. She is trying to get her own flat - if what you consider to be "trying" equates to flipping half heartedly through some ads in the newspaper once every couple of days.
Appearance: Juice wears very over the top, glittery make up in starkly bright, bold colours. She seems quite imperious at first glance because of her rosebud mouth and severe eyebrows. She has big, hazel eyes and her naturally chestnut hair is cut in a short bob, dyed white-blonde with a streak of turquoise and another of baby pink running through it on the right side. She gets sloppy with her dying, so you can see roots at the minute. At the minute her nails have a dolphin theme going on. She has her ears pierced twice in her right ear, and once in her left with silver and turquoise studs. She has a small silver ring directly through the centre of her lower lip. When she was teleported, she was wearing: a baggy pale pink hoody with faded turquoise script on it over faded, light 3/4 length jeans with some old flip flops with sea shells on them. She's quite unfit and a fair bit overweight. 5'6''
