You awaken from a long and refreshing nights sleep, to a glorious sunny day, birds are singing in the air, and due is beading on the grass. The grass that towers more than twice your height above you!



Hey guys, I'm looking to run a game for a few adventurous lads and lasses set in a world space that's been brewing in the back of my head for some time now. The game will be totally freeform and dice-less (though I will be using dice rolls behind the scene's to determine the effectiveness of some actions.

Your character, no matter what their background in the world awakens to find themselves naked, in a small clearing, surrounded on all sides by grass, you are now less than three inches tall! Will you survive the dangers of this place?


The Scorpions


The Ants


The Lawnmowers?

Will you seek to discover what has happened to you and why? Will you attempt to build a new society down at the bottom of the garden? Or will you give in to your primal urges completely? The aim is to create a strange world, filled with dangers and rewards for the brave, careful and cunning Death is a possibility along with other, stickier, ends for characters who overreach themselves, but at the same time this is an entirely new world to craft as you want it.

To begin with, I'm looking for 4 or 5 players, with an even(ish) male/female split If your interested, please post character ideas here, or PM me if you have any questions. I'd appreciate it if your character ideas could be in the following format.

Name
Sex
Character description (with picture if possible)
Character keyword (one word that sums up your characters personal beliefs, for example 'Cannibal' 'Paladin' 'Ornithologist'
Sexual Expieriance
Your Characters Specialist skill - (one trait in which your character could be considered an 'expert' this can be anything that's not supernatural, as long as its fairly specific - i.e. 'Combat' is bad, 'karate' is good, 'Science' = Bad 'Biochemistry' = good)

If every day everyone asked 'how could I make someone else's life a little better?' The world would be a place worth saving.

Very interesting world/ idea!

I'm pretty caught up in games right now, but there might be another group game that won't be happening for a lack of interest. If that is the case then I'm considering of joining this one instead. It's so unique and new to me that it's almost a 'must-join'. ;D

Sounds interesting. I'll have to come up with something this evening!

Hi there everyone.  This RP sounds interesting to me, count me in.

Proposed character:


Name: Gerhard Nees (Ger or Geert for short)

Sex: Male

Character description:
    The earliest memories Ger has of his childhood are pretty representative of the first 12 years of his life: his mother and father stoned out of their minds in their small 3-person trailer park home.  Yep, it was the Holland, it was the 80's and his parents were honest-to-god hippies.  In all fairness it wasn't all bad, but most of the time little Ger had to learn to fend for himself: school, cooking, you name it and he had to do it.
    By early adolescence Ger had learned enough about the surrounding society and his parents to know they were not ideal role-models, but what is a 12 year old to do?  He did what he had always done, take charge of his own life as best he could.  Most of the kids at school did not talk to him much (he was 3 years older than most of the other kids in his grade), so he resigned himself to play sports in the nearby woods with the friends he had.  This life continued until he was 18, at which time he came home to something he was not all that surprised to find: a burnt down trailer smelling heavily of marijuana smoke... well at least they went out happy.
    After the funeral he did his best to look for work, but finding steady work was a lot harder than he imagined it would be.  And so he hitch-hiked around the country, working for room and board at small inns and restaurants along the highway.
    This was standard practice until a several months later, when working in a restaurant in a popular Dutch camp-site he overheard 3 men dressed in uniform talking about their current dilemma: they were park rangers in charge of the nearby forested area called "The Veluwe", and one of their fellow rangers had abruptly just quit on them.  Not being one to pass up an opportunity, Ger did what he could to convince them to give him a chance (citing that he was experienced and comfortable working outdoors).  He got the job if for no other reason that there were no other applicants, and that he would work for nothing more than room and board while he was on trial.
    As it turns out, Gert's complete reliance on only himself his entire life prepared him quite well for park ranger life.  He was accustomed to being without someone to talk to for long periods of time, able to read and write well enough so that it did not hinder his job and to boot he was friendly with the people he met.  Over the next few years he grew into the ranger life, through encounters with the steady stream of tourists he improved his abysmal school-learned English into near full-fledged fluency, he made friends with most of the other ranger staff and to top it off he was learning an awful lot about plants and animals in the nearby woods. 
    Yes sir, at 22 years old, a steady job, Gerhard's life looked like it was finally taking a turn for the better!

OOC note:  For those wondering, Ger is of normal intelligence.  It might seem as though he is a bit dim from the above text, but the only thing lacking is his school education (dropped out in 10th grade (high-school)).
OOC note2: The hardest part about this was finding a decent picture that fit the character!

Picture Below
Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Character keyword: Hardworking (why postpone until tomorrow what you can do today?)

Sexual Experience: Hetero.  Several trysts which amounted to nothing more than 1 night stands.  Living as a park ranger is not the best place to meet potential long-term love interests.

Your Characters Specialist skill: Wilderness Survival (as is fitting to a forest park ranger)

OOC information: I am relatively new to adult role playing.  Feel free to give me a smack in the right direction if needed!
See my Sig below for O/Os.

Name: Abigail Cross
Sex: Female
Description:Abby Cross fits the textbook definition of nerd. She spends far too much time reading, studying, and fandubbing anime. She's blissfully unaware of how attractive she is and is rather mystified by the attention she gets from men and women alike. Now that her clothes have disappeared it's rather easy for even her to figure out why she keeps getting stared at. Abby is a gorgeous young teenage girl with wonderful curves and soft brown eyes. She has a few tattoos, though none anywhere especially naughty and not enough to consider her 'punk' or anything too rebellious. Before the world grew around her she was just about to start her first semester of college.
Character Keyword: Thoughtful
Sexual Experience: Moderate
Skill:Quick Learner
