Join the Mapping Eden Project Today!

The "Mapping Eden" Project is a project which takes college volunteers, along with environmental scientists to map the jungle regions of Brazil. They collect data on the carbon content of the tree canopy, the endangered animals that live there, and many other factors in the hope of attracting private investors to buy the most valuable land and protect it from harm.

******

The first set of students have arrived at the Brazilian base-camp, zoologists, botanists, environmental scientists, cartographers and many of other specialists in training; along with other volunteers enthusiastic for what will be the most exciting few months of their lives. They were led out on their first expedition by the locals, forging a path through the vast forest before them. Their local guide pushes through the thick undergrowth far faster than the group does, and when he disappears too far ahead, the group find themselves lost without help in the hostile land. They attempt to contact their base-camp on the radio; but there is no response; their GPS is also unable to pick up a satellite signal, even their compass swings wildly.

Trying to follow their trail back leads them to landmarks that they hadn't seen before, and soon, plants they hadn't seen before, plants that didn't appear in any of the guides. It was as if they had been transplanted somewhere totally different without their knowledge. The clinging muggy humidity had lessened, the noises in the foliage similar, yet somehow slightly different than before... and so the experiment began.

OOC

This will be an N/C game following a college age expedition group who have been transported from the rainforest to the "Terrarium;" an expansive enclosure built by creatures of another world, the group becoming lab rats in the galaxy's most sophisticated rat cage. Unaware of what caused them to be displaced, social experiments will be performed on the new "subjects". Things that range from their ability to work as a group to survive, to the development of a pack mentality, all the way to more intrusive tests, such as spraying the Biodome with pheromones and other drugs to force a passionate need to mate.

The story will focus around the interactions of the group of people who have been transported there as they try to find their way home, and create a new life in this jungle environment. While the story will be put in the N/C section to allow a full range of story options (particularly when the experiments begin), there will be plenty of room for vanilla romance. The story we wish to tell can be tailored by the events and tests performed on the characters. One thing I don't want to cover in this RP is a "survivalist story." While the realism is important, I don't want the story to focus around their foraging for food and building of shelter etc, unless there is an interesting human interaction there. Of course, if the foraging for food is a chance for the two cute botanists to finally get to talk to each other, then thats a different story.

What will happen to our band lost in the jungle. Will one of them rise up as the leader, and when they do, what will they make the others do. Will there be tension between two competing men for the same lover, or will they work harmoniously. Will they fear the strange forces that affect this new world, or worship them.

I'm looking for a compact group (6-8 players including myself) who will be able to post at least twice a week. (obviously things can be dealt with as personal lives change). As such I will need to be selective of the people who play from those who apply, so bare that in mind. I'm expecting more applications than there are slots for players. Obvious kinks that might become involved in the story would be domination, group sex, pregnancy, and mind alteration. (In terms of drugs used to change people mood, aphrodisiacs etc) but I'm all open on ideas for our story. So if it interest you, sign up below!

Name: Cristiano "Christian" Conceição
Played by: Atlas   
Nationality: Brazilian American
Age: 22
Eyes: Dark Brown
Hair: Black
Height: 5’11”
Sexuality: Bisexual

Likes/Turn ons: Romance, Domination, Rough sex, Sex outdoors, Passionate partners, Shy partners,
Dislikes/Turn offs: Scat, Hostile people.

speciality: Medicine
Background/History/Personality: Christian was born to an Brazilian father and a American mother. A charming, relaxed character. His father and mother were both botanists who met on a research project together in the amazon, researching new medicine they fell in love; their passion kindled by long starry night along in the jungle. They had their first son several years later when they both returned to America.

Christian is the second of four boys, growing up in a rambunctious loving household he developed a strong boyish personality. Of all the boys in the family Christian was the one to most pick up his parents scientific skills, however when he would eventually go on to college he ended up on the other end of the medical business, giving out the drugs rather than developing them. Throughout his high school life he competed with his brothers at nearly everything from sports to grades to girlfriends, developing a cheerfully competitive nature. When he reached college he majored in tropical medicine in the hope to help those in poorer countries, and is currently in his final year of study before he enters the field. His adventurous nature makes him perfectly adept for the task at hand, getting aid in some of the most remote places in the world.

He inherited his looks from his father, from his tanned skin to his dark Latin hair and eyes, he looked the most like his Brazilian heritage of the quartet of brothers. He likes to wear loose open shirts or tight tee's which reveals the body he is quite proud of. He had no difficulty attracting lovers throughout his teenage years and into his twenties, both men and women. He is a passionate lover, often falling for people too rashly. When he split from his last lover in a fiery argument he learnt about the Mapping Eden project and signed up. A chance to escape away to his country of birth and live an exciting adventure for a few months, and a great opportunity to learn more about the place he would soon be working.

*pounces Hanged* Hey you :)

[DarkRose15]

Name: Yuki Sanders
Played by: DarkRose15
Nationality: Half-Japanese American
Age: 18
Eyes: Dark Brown
Hair: Dark Brown
Height: 5'2"
Sexuality: Unknown

Likes/Turn ons: Romance, Seduction, breast play, being outside, kissing, exploring
Dislikes/Turn offs: Violence, liars, no romance/seduction

Specialty: Archaeology
Background/History/Personality: Yuki is a quirky but fun individual. She loves going on adventures and has been doing so since she could walk (often getting herself into trouble as a result, especially when she brought "treasures" home!). Nothing makes her happier than making other people laugh, and if doing a jig when someone's down will make them feel better, then hand her a pair of dancing shoes. She often dresses comfortably, making it easier t run around or climb trees. Her parents separated when she was 8 years old, but both love her very much. She lives with her mother in the United States but goes to see her father as often as she can, usually in the summer. Her mother and father both support her love of learning and exploration, her father sending her books or tools and her mother reminding her that sometimes it's not ok to bring every single artifact into the house.

Yuki is a bit lonely however, as she's terribly shy around guys. One might even say she's almost afraid of them due to an incident that happened when she was young. She was already shy then, but had mustered the courage to confess her feelings to a guy she liked. He told her he didn't date ugly girls, and Yuki was crushed. Since then she also believes herself to be ugly, never bothering to primp herself up too much (not that she needed to much for getting dirty anyway!). But these little flaws never seem to dampen her spirits, though if a cute guy is around she might very well faint or run off if he isn't careful.

Yuki's love of Archaeology came from when she was young, where she was digging around with a few other kids in a sandbox and while digging found someone's missing necklace. She was thrilled, but she didn't get to keep the necklace. She did get rewarded for her honesty however, and since then she loves to dig holes in the ground or follow legends to see what she can find. She's never really disappointed even if she finds nothing at all, it's the thrill of trying to find it that gets her going the most. She did hurt herself at one point, breaking her arm when she got a bit too full of herself while climbing along a rock wall towards an old abandoned mine shaft.

The trip to South America got her attention even though the promise of finding artifacts was a bit slim because she's always heard legends of people discovering hidden temples or lost civilizations. She hopes she might get lucky and find something of interest, but she's also looking forward to seeing another continent.


Additional Character Info: When people get close to her, she often tells them her nickname, which is Yuyu!

[Vassus]

Name: Antonia Horatio Tanner
Played by: Vassus
Nationality: Italian British
Age: 24
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Ink Black
Height: 6'1"
Sexuality: Bi-sexual

Likes/Turn ons: Romance, History, Internet, Music, Breasts, Group Love
Dislikes/Turn offs: Aggressiveness without check, Undeserved Attention, Ants, Sexual Pain

Specialty: Cartography
Background/History/Personality: With the knowledge that she would be better for it, lots of planning, and understandable excitement, Antonia was off from her Bristol home. She had spent most of her life there in that city, and had never been out of Europe. To jump right into the rainforest was something she had to think about. She was pushed by her mother, a fiery Italian who wanted her daughter to experience something like she had, before settling down (to an extent) with her husband, and Antonia's father.

She was good at sports in school, much to the surprise to the here-to-fore bookish Antonia. She was tall, and she had a good arm for the throwing games of her youth. This put her in a position of making friends from many different interests. She was happy with this, but she always had her own special interests: drawing, history, and, when she combined the two, geography. She would spend hours in the library, and then her room on the computer drawing, looking up topics, and tracing her family lineage to find where she placed in all of this.

She got good grades, and went on to pursue what she enjoyed, or at least one of them: map making, or cartography. She was happy to find a applicable use for her skill in the project, but was not happy about the fact that it was a jungle. A hot, bug infested jungle, full of cancer and snakes. Which is why she brought the regular sort of adventure short-sleeved shirt and shorts, but supplemented the outfit with netting. Lots of netting, to cover anything that would otherwise be exposed. Well, as much as she could get away with without bogging her down much. So, she had mixed feelings about coming in the first place, and getting lost has begun to erode what she had left in terms of comfort. A few of these girls look cute though...

Looks good so far Vassus Do you have an image that you'd like to use for your character?

[Vassus]

Blimey. I'll look, but I'm very very picky. So, I expect the answer to be "No, if that's an option".

[DarkRose15]

If you don't find an image that suits what you want then that's fine (I'm picky too :) ). Pictures are always nice but as far as I know they aren't required.

[Tydorei]

This game seems promising. Plot is not complicated yet still has lots of potential. I'm so in.

[DarkRose15]

I look forward to seeing your character :)

[AribethAmkiir]

Very interested in this if there's still room.  I'll make a character later today.

[Montagne]

*Sleepy UK GM wakes up.*

To contradict DR, please try to find a picture for your characters, if not, do add an appearance section to the bottom, but I would like to have as many people with pictures as possible.

[DarkRose15]

Sure thing :)

No contradiction, I just said as far as I know images are not required. Now I know they are :)

[DarkRose15]

Very interested in this if there's still room.  I'll make a character later today.

Specialty: Botany/Zoology
Background/History/Personality: Nikki has always had a passion for the outdoors.  Born in Colorado, she spent quite a bit of her childhood and young adulthood in the Rocky Mountains.  She is an avid outdoorsman, and follows in her father’s steps as far as that goes.  She learned how to shoot a rifle at the age of 12 and enjoys hunting with her father.  She is a good shot with both compact bow and rifle, and knows how to skin and clean deer, and elk.

[TheHangedOne]

Name: Ivan Demchak
Played by: TheHangedMan
Nationality: Ukrainian
Age: 24
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Brown
Height: 5'11
Sexuality:Straight

Likes/Turn ons: Chocolate, soft music, solving problems, intelligent individuals; Dominant women, sexually aggressive women
Dislikes/Turn offs: Ignorant people, being bothered by "non-issues"; scat, watersports, gore.

Specialty:Botany, agriculture
Background/History/Personality: Life in the Ukraine is not easy; lots of corruption in the government, lots of crime, and a lot of poor people scraping by. But it's been like that for so long, that the typical Ukrainian is capable of excessive hardship without so much as raising an eyebrow, or much more than a sigh.

Hell, just eating can be hard, at times. Those with good jobs, and those in the city do well; but in the country side, their are places without running electricity or water, still, where people do subsistence farming to get by. It's a bleak and miserable life.

Born in this sort of place, Ivan is, no shocker, a stalwart man with a stoic attitude. He also has a certain predilection for enjoying getting his hands dirty with work, and labor as a sort of reward on its own. This is a somewhat typical attitude, coming from a man who is fairly not typical; I mean, who has ever heard of a Ukrainian that doesn't drink vodka by the fifth?

A precocious boy, he was the youngest in a family with two older brothers and an eldest sister. Consequently, he frequently was made the 'patsy' when one of the other kids did something wrong. It left him with am ambivalence towards his family, towards other people as well; the fact that his perceived status as a trouble maker pushed him to surpass the expectations of his kin, however.

As he grew older, and witnessed the troubles his people--not his family, but his nation-- faced, he thought of ways to fix it. This was an odd knack of his; when he sees a problem, he tries to fix it. Perhaps it's because he was always trying to fix things in his family, or perhaps his compassionate nature arises from something else; he is not certain.

He ended up scrimping, saving, and doing some perhaps questionably legal things in order to go to afford to go to university. He got interested in agriculture, believing that if their was plentiful food for everyone, that the people could start to work on pulling themselves up out of the mud, because they would no longer be left wondering and struggling to find their next meal.

This interest in agriculture also lent itself well to botany, which he eventually became more focused in. He wants to, ultimately, find new species of fruit bearing plants, new vegetation, and new herbs with medicinal benefits, and to crossbreed them with existing things in order that he might one day develop a natural "super crop" that could provide good nutrition and grow well in the harsh lands of his home country; not to mention, better health care for his people, from newer drugs, would also make things easier on all.

He joined with the program because although he doubted tropical things would do well in the cold climates of Ukraine, it would at the very least give him field experience. And still, who's to say he might not discover something incredible?
Additional Character Info: Speaks Ukrainian fluently, as well as other former Soviet bloc languages (Russian, etc). Speaks English very well.

Okay, I know I said I'd have a full character up today, but I'm struggling with my muse at the moment. So, instead, I have a work-in-progress.

hey thats fine Hanged, the request threads only been open a day and a half so you've got plenty of time to build your character. You may want to change the age unless he's an o
older student (18-24 is comon for most undergrads) and or getting a PhD

[FallenFeather]

Me join me join! Just need to make a character!! -starts plotting-

[Montagne]

And with that I'm going to discourage any more Female characters after fallenfeathers (those of you who have talked to me about characters by IM/PM carry on with your character I'm including them in the count as well.) As we are short on males. If you have a really good female idea I'm open to hearing it, but there will be some tough competition for the player slots (I would prefer an even number of men and women)

[Montagne]

we've has a player who requested to join by IM drop out and as such I'm going to allow in another few female candidates.

[DarkRose15]

Why'd they drop out :( ?
