Zodiac Cruise (Interest Check - Sandbox)

[AmbrosiaPudding]

Cruise of the Zodiacs

Welcome to the Cruise of the Zodiacs!

You have been invited to explore this luxurious cruise as part of scientific experiment. For ages people have looked at zodiac signs, judging compatibility on them. Is there any stock in it though? That is what we hope to find out. With color coded bands each zodiac sign will have their own color. The band must be worn at all times. The Cruise itself will last 30 days. It will make routine stops around the world, at various islands, resorts, countries, and continents. The ship will dock for three days at each port that it makes.

All passengers will have access to all areas of the ship not coded with a red label on the door. Red labeled doors and areas are for crew only. The crew are not part of this social experiment and are not to be associated with. Anyone associating with crew will be asked to leave.

There will be an itinerary of the scheduled events happening on the ship. There will be multiple events happening as multiple times, though in different areas of the ship. The itinerary will also list of places we will arrive and and when. Within your itinerary package there will also be a list of zodiac signs. These zodiac signs will have their colors on them as well. It will also list the ‘compatibility’ between signs. We hope to see you all at the big banquet dinner!

Capricorn seem as though their feet are planted firmly on the ground, yet it can seem as if life just passing them by.

Here is my character sheet as a reference.

Name: Arabelle Cody

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Zodiac: Libra

Orientation: Bisexual

Personality: Arabelle is a very sweet, outgoing girl. She loves flirting with new people and takes life by it's handles. She doesn't mind being the center of attention and will often put herself there, especially if she's had a little bit to drink in her. She doesn't being in being normal. Why be normal when being unique is so much more fun. She is a very loyal woman, and believes strongly in justice. She doesn't stand for bullies. She also doesn't believe that she should depend on a man to provide for her. Only the right man will be able to take her by the reigns and lead her as she has a dominant personality to begin with.

Why are you on the Cruise?:It's a free cruise, traveling all across the world. Why not?

[GnothiSeauton]

Tentatively interested here.

Really? Thanks. That's awesome.

[GnothiSeauton]

Really? Thanks. That's awesome.

A question though...

How are individuals selected/invited for the cruise?

[AmbrosiaPudding]

A question though...

How are individuals selected/invited for the cruise?

An excellent question. At random participants were chosen based on age and location, kind of. 

All participants have been selected based on their age roughly between the age of 21 and 35. They vary from location to location around the world. Choosing only 100 of each zodiac sign, of each gender, from each location. Though not all will accept the invitation of course. It is, essentially, a little random sticking true to the science.

Who does the choosing of invites/participants?

Is it some sort of contest or something? 

I'm just trying to figure out the whore organization and how a person is selected, rather than the criteria.  I have something of a character in mind, but wanted to learn a bit more about how they were chosen.

It's not a contest rather a scientific experiment. The chosen participants are done at random by a computer following the parameters that the scientists have set forth.

The point of the experiment is to prove the correlation between zodiac signs and personalities by using people of different ages from different countries/places.

They are simply chosen because they were of a certain age, zodiac sign, and location.

[Mora]

Interested!!!

[AmbrosiaPudding]

Well thank you! I'd like to get a lot of interest ideally. Haha.

Great! I'll make an OOC thread when I get off work. I'm just on my break right now. Feel free to PM me any Character sheets guys!

[Diabolus Lupus]

I Might be interested. Though I'm curious about the how and why of the compatibilities. Like what stops a match up of say aries and taurus from working?

[AmbrosiaPudding]

Nothing. Nothing stops it from working. The entire point of the cruise is to either prove or disprove the assumption behind zodiac signs.

[Chreestafer]

So the end game is to just have fun, meet people, enjoy each other all in the name of science

[AmbrosiaPudding]
