"The Mine" Signups and Discussion

[NSZ]

20 Years ago, the Black Mountain Mines were shut down due to apparent unsafe conditions, and has since been sold off. Cut to today, where a group of freelance handymen have been hired to ensure that the mine is now safe to operate in. Contractually required to call the abandoned tunnels home for four days, will this group fulfill their duties without incident, will the seclusion and isolation drive them mad, or will they find out the truth as to just why the mines were shut down in the first place?

This idea was inspired by a YouTube vid and I just couldn't get it out of my head. So yeah, I'm doing a 'forum member adventure' type of story (you can all panic now). This, however, is gonna be a little more down to Earth (Sorry guys, no crazy powers here).

So, if you're interested, sign up here using the template below.

Name: (has to be a name you'd use in real life, not your user name. Don't need to include your last name, though.)
Age: (your IRL age works just fine)
Description: (should be obvious)
Personality: (ditto)

Sign ups will end on Sunday, June 3 at 7 PM, so, again, if you're interested, let me know by then.

Hmmm...alright lol

Name: Zach "Zman" Williams
Age: 21

Description: A physically fit man as served for years in the marines right after highschool. Has short cropped brown hair. Is skilled with fighting close quarters and is an expert with weapons. SInce leaving the marines he has been wandering around from jobs trying to find anything that could occupy his time.

Personality: Is hard and cold, doesn't display much emotions as that is how the marines taught him. But, despite the emotionless hide, he does care about people around him and their safety. He will do the dirty jobs and is not affraid to speak his mind. Displays strong leadership qualities but never fully leads unless nessecary.

How that work for you?

[NSZ]

How that work for you?

That works just fine.

[Gojira21]

Sweet, alright man

[HayesAJones]

Name: Hayes
Age: 17
Description:
Short and thin, with a rather lanky build. Could be called scrawny. Messy brown hair that falls every which way but the direction Hayes wants it to go in. Hayes's vivid blue-green eyes tend to be lidded, and there are thin creases under them. This makes him looks rather lazy and uncaring, although this isn't necessarily accurate.
Personality:
In a word, Hayes can be described as 'unstable.' He is typically very quiet and awkward, keeping to himself and now showing much emotion. At other times though, he becomes a lit fuse of excitement or frustration, his actions becoming quick, frantic, and unpredictable. He can be worked up over minor things to the point of snapping. Hayes likes to handle things with a sense of humor. There's very little he won't crack a joke at. Even he himself falls victims to his quips, although the people around him are the usual targets. Like his mood changes, his joke can go from playful and friendly to cruel and mean-hearted in the blink of an eye. Tries to stay civil and respectful, but can unknowingly slip into rather dickish activities.

I'm going to be so much fun to have in a small, enclosed space.

[NSZ]

Pleasure to have you aboard, Hayes!

[Flygon King]

Hmmm...do a male character modeled after myself, or do another female character to avoid a sausage fest and add diversity?

Well, best to go with what I'm best at!

Name: Tenshi
Age: 21
Description: At 6ft 2, Tenshi's quite the tall woman. She has long, blue hair (Dyed; her normal hair color is brown.) and olive-green eyes. She's surprisingly strong-built, and busty to boot.
Personality: A boy trapped in a girl's body. That is the description that fits Tenshi's personality the best. She's a die-hard tomboy at heart that loves proving herself just as strong and athletic as the men. She can also be a tad immature at times, at which her feminine side shows. She's quite smart as well as fit, thus making her a natural leader... until she starts boasting a few too many times... Her ego has no bounds, extending as far as Heaven itself...

[Godzillatheultimate]

Name: Jake
Age: 15
Description: Wears a black leather trenchcoat (because he REALLY likes it), 5'10 standing erect, although he's usually slouched, lowering him to 5'5. Curly black hair that he likes to keep messy. So messy in fact it doesn't so much resemble hair, as it does an animal that crawled on his head and died. Larger around than most people... okay, he's fat. Arms thinner, for some reason.
Personality: He's an ass. Not above making fun of others for a cheap laugh, he'll actually take every opportunity to put someone down. He doesn't tell jokes so much as he insults people. Prefers his own company. Angers very easy, due to being easily pissed off by multiple things. Obsessed with seeming mature, even though it's painfully obvious he's just a jerkass kid. Likes sleeping over interacting with other people. Not only that, but his ego is huge, and he'll often claim his ability to do things he can't (best sniper on his side of the Colorado River. Obviously a lie). Can show a good amount of intelligence if he feels like it.

[King Caesar]

Name: Mac
Aged: 22 years
Description: A physical bode and a pair of deeply set eyes (which are behind a pair of red goggles) make Mac an intimidating character, standing at 6' 3" and weighing in at almost 200 pounds. He wears work boots, jeans, and a muscle shirt that reveals his pale muscular arms.
Personality: Mac is humble, quiet, and always thinking. Every decision is thought over twice. When he does make a mistake, Mac finds a way to take care of it and fast. His eyes are light-sensitive and he has a fear of drowning. Yet he is more than willing to lay his life on the line to save his friends.

>_>

<_<

FK, GTU, KC, welcome aboard.

[SpanishBulldog63]

Name:Sal Gutierrez

Age:20

Height/Weight:5'7" 160 lbs

Description: Short in height, but makes up for it in powerful,stocky build.Wears a muscle shirt and jeans and has short black hair.Expert hand-to-hand fighter as well as a creative mind with the things around him(think a Spanish Mcguyver).Also rivals Hannibal Lecter in the area of reading people by their actions and stories,mostly to get to know them and understand them better but will use that against people trying to start shit to put them back in place.

Characteristics:Extremely athletic warrior thanks to a background in Martial Arts, Wrestling,and Football(Defensive Line).Despite his intimidating appearance, Sal is a nice guy that gets along with everyone and is a critical thinker, often deep in philosophical thought.A reliable ally with a smart-ass sense of humor,he is about as brave as they come.Slight Napoleon Complex and tenacious attitude in combat and sports are what gave him the alias,The Bulldog.No matter how big a guy might be,Sal would take him on.and if you could beat him with everything including the kitchen sink,you better kill him, because he’ll keep comin’ back and back until one of you is dead.

As of now it is 7:14 PM on Sunday, June 3rd. Signups are now closed.

To be honest I was hoping for at least 2 more people, but I'll just fill those 2 slots with OCs. What matters is that I managed to reel in those that I were hoping to reel in.

First chapter should be posted sometime this week.

[Gojira21]

Sweet, looking forward to it

Prologue is UP, boys. Not a whole lot happens, sure, but again, it's the prologue.
