Plot

It all started with an infection that spread with the speed of light. Everyone that got infected died within the first 24 hours, creating panic among the healthy. The whole world was panicking, riots broke out everywhere, many died just because of the sheer hysteria.

What came next was the fierce storm that spread through the globe, ripping cities apart and leaving nothing but destruction and death. Human kind believed the worst was behind them when the storm quieted down and dissipated. They thought wrong. The temperature kept dropping and the areas near the poles soon became unfit for living. The cold was unbearable and it crept closer and closer to the equator freezing everything to death.

In this new frozen world, few survived. By this point the human race had shrunk down a great number, they were facing extinction. There was only one hope for the humans: an ancient lore said that when all the nations would unite on an untouched land, the world could be saved. Not having a choice, the mankind gathered one person from all the countries of the world. Together they were bound to find the untouched land and save the world.





On to the rules:
Show hidden content
-All site rules apply.
-No godmodding, controlling other people's characters or gary-/mary-sues. (This should be a given.)
-This is a semi-literate rp so I require at least 3 good sentences per post. Also, do your best with grammar.
-There can be only one person from every country. (Meaning if someone already has a German character you can't have one as well.)
-Characters must be at least 18 years old. (There would be no reason to send a kid on a mission so dangerous.)
-Stay true to the country you've chosen. (A person from the USA won't probably be named Matti and an Afrikan probably won't stand cold very well.)
-No spamming.
-Password is the word you can find in italics from the rules.
-Rules may be updated.

Country: Pakistan
Personality: He is a hot-headed person and cannot stand ANYONE disrespecting him, or those people/things that are close to him. He was sent to military school when he was just 4, his violent ways were a threat to the society but that made him fearless and perfect for the job of finding this lost-land. He mercilessly does the job done and never forgets a face. He is also a Lone-warrior so travelling with other's may be hard for him to adopt.
Weapon(s): Throwing knives, Jericho, Weighted-Knuckle glove(On the left hand, Mark I trench knife
Other:His skill at close range combat is unparalleled. You can also call him a 'beast' because of his high sense of smell, hearing and tracking.


mifie's characters:
Show hidden content
Character name: Somsri Vichianmart (Should I applied Thai typing here? Also yo can call her "Som" for short)
Gender: Girl
Age: Exactly 20 Yrs.

Sadimastika's characters:
Show hidden content
Character name: Alon Amihan
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Appearance: Click for image
Country: Philippines
Personality: Having been used to fishing in the island of Siquijor, Philippines, she has grown to be very patient and calm. She loves to creatively experiment in a lot of things, may it be cooking, styles of hunting, crafting weapons and clothing, and so on.
Weapon(s):
She doesn't really have much, as she prefers setting traps and crafting weapons from what she could find in her surroundings however, the following would be the things she constantly carries with her:
Bolo Knife (Or Iták) - Mainly used as a cutting tool, she rarely uses this as a weapon.
Buntot Pagi (Stingray Whip) - This is a whip made from a stingray's tail. Though the whip already contains toxins, most of the time, she coats it with additional venom from a lionfish.
Ballista - The one the lady is holding in the image.
Other: Her name can be interpreted as "Waves from the cool northeast wind" as "Alon" is to "wave" and "Amihan" would be what the locals from her country call the cool breeze from the northeast. As her name suggests, she loves to swim. Though because the weather has turned icy cold from the disaster, it left her frustrated in a way.


Ufimtsev's characters:
Show hidden content
Character name: Yaroslava Ufimtsev; she calls herself Fim.
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Appearance: She has middle-length black hair that's usually kept back in a knot. You'll often find her wearing blue-colored cargo pants (she has the Russian flag sewn onto the face of each pocket) and a gray sweater. And she never leaves home without her red scarf.
Country: Russia
Personality: Yaroslava talks and thinks to herself frequently. She prefers a good mental game to any physical challenge and tries to think ahead. Despite her competency in combat, she isn't completely confident in herself and so tries to avoid fighting when she can. If it does come down to a hand-to-hand battle, she's good and fast support. As for friendships, she's generally trusting towards others but has never worked with a team before.
Weapon(s): She owns a Tokarev that she normally leaves at home, as she hasn't used it enough to be comfortable with it. Also, she is skilled in a variation of Kung Fu.
Other: Linguistics is a special interest of hers.


AcidicPoptartz's characters:
Show hidden content
Character name: Renier Kranzler (‘Ren’ for short)
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Appearance: Platinum blonde hair, cut off at the ears and usually ruffled. Pale brown eyes, pale skinned. Wears a black, skin-tight suit under his clothes, this suit is designed for him to keep the heat in. Over this suit, he usually wears a hooded coat and black snow pants. He also wears boots designed for trekking through the cold and a scarf in the design of the German flag. Renier has a scar that runs from his left shoulder blade to the base of his tailbone, and another smaller one that cuts diagonally across the left side of his mouth, both acquired by being hurtled down a slope during his childhood. He is a rather tall, buff man.
Country: Germany
Personality: Ren is a particularly aggressive fellow, and hard to talk to when he's in a bad mood (which is most of the time). Despite his aggressiveness, he does like to talk to people, but if you start to bore him he will just turn away (so try to keep him entertained). He likes to think he's the strongest around (even though he may not be), boasting a lot of the time. He does get very emotional when insulted, you have been warned >:3
Weapon(s): Heckler and Koch G36, SIG Sauer Pro and a basic hunting knife.
Other: Whenever he is talking to himself, he will tend to talk in German. (Oh, and I don't actually speak German so I'll be using google translate for these bits, please forgive me, fellow Germans if the translation is wrong D:)

Accepted. Though I did change the password again, but I guess you were writing your form at that time so I'll let it slide this time. :p

A couple of notes before we start this off:
Since our group is gonna be quite big and presumably none of the members of the group knew each other before, I suggest that everyone has the flag of their country sewn somewhere in their clothes. (The size or the place for it doesn't matter, just so it's visible so your character's recognizable. You don't need to state where it is either if you don't want to, the placement is not of importance. -But for the heck of it: Sampsa has a quite large one on the back of his jacket like this.)
Or they can have a garment that has the desing of the flag, like AcidicPoptartz's character Ren has the scarf.

And I'm pretty sure it's almost impossible to learn everyone else's names so you may call other characters just by their country. For example, my character Sampsa could be called Finland. Of course when the guys get familiar with each other, they could and should use the real names.

Also, if your character speaks their native language at some points, provide a vague translation at the end of your post. You don't have to translate it from word to word, just give us some kind of an idea what it was about.

You can also use the rest of the countries not taken yet as NPCs but avoid calling them by 'he' or 'she'. If someone wants to make a character of that country later, it would get confusing.
This also means new characters are still welcome even though we've already started.

(I also updated my form to something more detailed. :p)

And the RP starts now!


Sampsa was sitting somewhat aside from everyone else, observing the sea of men and women he would have to travel with. He wasn't sure how the mission would be carried out with so many people on board but in the end, they didn't have much choice on the fact. He was slightly annoyed by the constant bickering in foreign languages since he couldn't understand any of it. Strangely, what annoyed him more was the fact that Sweden had exchanged a couple of words with him earlier and he was able to understand all of it.

Some of them still didn't seem to agree on where they should start looking for this 'untouched land' and everyone seemed to have their own opinions about it. Sampsa preferred the idea of heading for the Amazon rainforest but Sahara didn't sound too crazy either. Either way, some of the countries' representatives hadn't arrived yet so they wouldn't be heading anywhere anyway before they showed up. Sampsa got on his feet intending to get the blood flowing in his legs again, he had just sat around for too long.

Somewhere in the vast ocean, there was a small worn-out ship with a 20-yr girl driving in.

She was somehow lost, with only a broken compass in her hand, only thing she could rely on.

She lost her house, her family, her friends, even her country, to the freeze coming out of blue! Nowhere to return to... She known it well, yet her pretty face had covered up in tears.

In another hand she hold a photograph of her lost pet. The cat dressed like a Meowth for some reason.

Yaroslava had only just arrived, but was already mentally overwhelmed from listening to all the people conversing amongst themselves. Oh, look, there's India! And I think I see a Czechoslovakian person...or is that the Filipino flag they're wearing? Did that person just speak in Chinese? I wonder if Kosovo or Belarus is around here, she thought.

Although she knew she was chosen mainly for her strength, that certainly didn't stop her from learning all she could. And, despite the situation, it definitely didn't make her any less excited.

By observing the crowd, she noticed that a few groups had already gotten past their linguistic barriers, even if they sometimes had to resort to some mixed form of sign language. It seemed that most were already discussing their mysterious mission- to find the land untouched. Untouched? she had been wondering. By humans? Then it must be a place we haven't discovered yet...or at least, settled into. Well, Fim, I guess we'll have a little more time to think about it. Yaroslava paused her pondering and walked into the mass of people.

Sitting alone on a bench, Alon was not really the silent type at all once you get to know her. She is usually accomodating and talkative, and one who enjoys a good conversation especially if a glass of Tuba(1) is involved. Today is a different case. Though she had encountered foreigners before on a regular day to day basis because of tourism in her home island, she never thought seeing everyone cooped up in one space could be so overwhelming. Everybody was trying to express themselves to the people they are talking to either with difficulty, or with so much ease that they looked like they have their own world now. Truth be told, Alon never felt so out of place today and it made her a tad uneasy. Looking on the bright side though, at least she knew English. Better have something than nothing. Looking up, she sent a quick prayer of gratitude for once for having her home country colonized by the Americans, Japanese, and Spaniards. That would at least help her understand and communicate with some of those who are present here. The young woman took off her bamboo hat as a form of respect and placed it back on as she looked down once more. It was then she thought it was the perfect time to observe the others once more.

Guns, guns guns... She thought to herself. Most of the people here seem to have guns with them. The way she took her hat off to release her ponytail gave away her uncertainty. Ako nga lang ba wala? (2) She convinced herself that carrying a rifle would weigh her down, and pistols would make too much noise, unless there's a silencer. Alon likes to keep it sneaky. But of course, she is open to using different kinds of weaponry - very open in fact, as she is eager to learn.. Just not today, but she will get one later.

Taking off her grey wool and leather jacket, Alon stretched her shoulders a bit and placed the wooly garment beside her, along with her bamboo hat, which was covered by wool inside to keep the head warm. She wore thermal, waterproof black pants today, and her leather boots went up to her ankles just below her knees. Her top was long-sleeved, black and fitting, and her lower arms were covered by what seemed like bandages to be used if ever needed in the field. Her hands were covered as well, but with dark brown gloves that had her nation's flag at the back of her palm. With her jacket and hat besider her, the girl then untied her maroon scarf and placed it there as well. The weather outside was freezing, that's a fact, but with everyone cooped up in here made the place warm enough for her. She could only sigh at this moment while waiting for orders, letting her elbowlength dark brown hair rest on her back as she leaned her head on the wall behind her. Minutes later, she found herself gazing at the doors while fiddling with her stingray whip, thinking of possible routes to take in case something bad happens. Better do something productive while waiting, right? Alon thought that it was the best that she could do for now.


*** Terms and Translations ***
(1) Tuba - Or Palm Wine, is an alchoholic beverage made from the sap of different species of palm tree. What is common in Alon's hometown is the coconut palm wine.
(2) "Ako nga lang ba wala?" = "Am I the only one who doesn't have one?"

It was a bit irritating to be one of the last people to the boat. Most of the free places had been taken, there were only a few spots a grumpy man could sit by himself. I found myself glaring at my fellow travelers as I searched for a spot to sit.
If only Karla hadn't fussed over me as much, I would have gotten here sooner...

Well, I may have been overreacting a bit, since I discovered a free spot near the front of the boat. It was much colder than the other places, since it was basically the center of attention to the wind. I stood, arms crossed staring at the free space for a moment before turning and almost collapsing into a cross-legged position. Only a second too late did I realize I had left my hunting knife tucked into my back pocket. "`Im Namen von-!" The part of the hilt that was not covered by it's case dug into me, and I jumped up almost as quickly as I sat down. I gritted my teeth, pulling the knife out of my pocket, tucking it into my belt and sitting back down again. It made me even more angrier with myself to see two people across from me, peeking over their shoulder and giggling with each other. I narrowed my eyes, a closer look at the two's outfits showed that they were Andorra and Croatia. They both saw me watching them, and stopped giggling. Their faces turned sour and they quickly turned away.
``Hmph, so viel für einen guten ersten Eindruck auf die anderen Länder, super gemacht, du Trottel ...
I was now not in the mood to stand up and actually talk to people, so I lifted my scarf over my nose and mouth, simply surveying my situation from my perch. Because of my lateness, there were only now a few other people coming on board. Most of the others had settled down and were now either talking with others or being unsocial, much like myself. I let out a long breath, deciding I had nothing much else to do, so I drooped my head, partially closing my eyes and waited for something to disturb me.


`Im Namen von: In the name of. A sort of exclamation, like 'for crying out loud'
``Hmph, so viel für einen guten ersten Eindruck auf die anderen Länder, super gemacht, du Trottel ...: Hmph, so much for a good first impression to the other countries, very well done, you idiot ...
