Deep, Deep Haven [OOC, TWI]

Postby Ostehaar » Fri Apr 08, 2016 1:15 pm

Deep Haven | IC thread


Deep Haven - An abandoned research station, mysteriously devoid of all animals.
- The Western Isles map dispatch.

Image


Background

Deep Haven is a mysterious and hair-raising little place. Fishermen from nearby islands seldom sail there (when they do, they usually ask for better payment), and rumors of strange phenomena and otherworldly happenings and sightings are frequent. The island itself is densely forested, and a single mountain ridge extends between its north and south tips. Its climate is partially tropical, and an almost contant mist envelops its highlands.

See a large map of Deep Haven here.

It is common knowledge that Deep Haven used to be a lively and fruitful research station, in the fields of biology, chemistry, and earth sciences. Several abandoned research sites are located on the island, and a keen visitor to there may notice deserted vehicles and other equimpment in various places. Four small villages on the south-eastern corner of the island (between Haven Bay and Lonely Peak) were once the residence of the scientists who worked there, but today it is nothing but the final resting place of some crumbling structures.

However, Deep Haven is not completely abandoned. In fact, a native population of roughly 600 people live in about 20 small and self-centered communities, mainly across the south-eastern portion of the island. These people call themselves Tuomi (the local word for resistant), and they don't like strangers.

Recently, several Tuomi had mysteriously disappeared. So, for the first time in many years, the locals reluctantly agreed to let foreigners back on the island, to help investigate and find out what is happening...


Rules

  • This RP is open for characters from nations of The Western Isles (1-2 characters per nation). To join, please fill the form below and wait for the IC thread.
  • It is an "open world" RP - any character may move freely on the island and interact with anything on it. I'll be RPing the local population and anything else players may encounter.
  • Keep all OOC matters to this thread (or to TGs, if you want to ask me something in private). No OOC in the IC thread at all.
  • Take your time. No rush. This is a slow pace RP.

Character form
Name, gender, and age: Thomas Cookson, male, 28
Nation of origin: Principality of Elohart, Crowned Confederacy of Agadar
Affiliation: Is a citizen of Elohart and works as a journalist for a national newspaper, but has no explicit affiliations in the context of the mission.
Quest\Goals: While his official reason for tagging along is writing an article for his newspaper, the real reason he is there is to find Albert Giles, a biologist assigned to Deep Haven and brother-in-law of his, who had disappeared together with the other scientists.
Special items carried by character: Standard survival items, standard items journalists usually carry with them, a laptop with sattelite connection. Carries a Glock 27 with him for personal safety reasons.
Other details: Aware of the danger that might await him on the island, Thomas had bought a Glock 27 and ensured he had practiced enough with it to know how to use it for self-defence. He carries the pistol on his waist. Character-wise, Thomas is a naturally curious and inquisitive person, prone to handling situations calmly and with care. Having never been in life-threatening situations however, it is uncertain whether he will be able to hold his ground should such a situation arise.

In a sense, all characters will be investigators because all of them can find out new information and give it to others. It is more like a multi-national team of individual investigators, each with his own agenda and skill.

Sounds good, so you're not going to reveal the mystery to us OOC and we have to solve it in IC, right? And we'll basically have to investigate the villagers and the surroundings?

Yep. Telling you what happened OOC would be counter-productive. :)

Perhaps... But that's not in this RP. Are you saying that this man's goal is to find the answer so he would be able to use the island for scientific purposes?

Character form
Name, gender, and age: Venerable Ashtamatha
Nation of origin: Sanghikariya
Affiliation: Sanghikariyan Buddhist Federation, Kotaypavna (Martial Arts) Council
Quest\Goals: Obtain primitive knowledge on mysterious creature for the advancement of Buddhist mythology and philosophy
Characteristic physical appearance: A little over 1.8 meters tall. Medium muscular build. Skilled in the martial and special arts of Samghikariya. Skilled marksman. Adept in biological sciences.
Special items carried by character: 21 throwing knives, Glock 19
Other details: To elaborate on my Quest/Goal section, the Sanghikariyan Buddhist Federation sends agents globally to scout scientific advancements, discoveries, and achievements globally so they formulate the best viewpoints for Sanghikariyan Buddhism before major scientific achievements become widely known. This allows Sanghikariyan Buddhism to remain contemporary to the real world, appear precient and thus relevent, and not contradict with science.

Okay, we have 7 visitors now, including Agadar (assuming he's going to edit his post and add a form). I'll give it another day-or-two of publishing on the RMB to see if others wish to join, and then I'll start the IC. :)
