Board 8 > Random Elimination Story Reborn - Sign Up

(+) Yeah! (+)

Who remembers these?

Well, basically I'll write a story about the characters you make. Each chapter, at least one person will be eliminated either by traps, hazards, or another person, until one remains. This will be decided by generating random numbers and matching it with my Elimination Sheet.

The premise: a group of strangers have been kidnapped and locked inside an indoor theme park. They are forced to kill one another until one remains.

I'm looking at about 20 characters for the story, one user can nominate 1 character for now. The year is 2020 and the setting is mostly realistic, no fantasy or sci-fi stuff going on.

Occupation: Unemployed
Life goal: To write a well-known story

Physical description: 6 feet even, very skinny. Brown eyes, long brown hair (that she dyes blue because she thinks it's too boring)
Is nearsighted and wears glasses.

Personality: Quiet and shy, but once she does start talking she's enthusiastic about it and never knows when to stop. Struggles to feel and show compassion for other people but tries very hard. Isn't too comfortable with who she is as a person but has a hard time finding the motivation to change.

I wasn't very confident in this but it sounds fun so I wanted to try.

Random bump

---

Name: Claire Keiser
Age (17 and up): 26
Gender: Female

Occupation: Child protective services social worker
Life goal: To escape her past and to keep kids from suffering the same horrible fate she had to endure.

Physical description: Casually dresses as a rocker chick, and especially likes to wear short, plaid skirts along with metal-band branded tees, with goth-style boots and striped stockings. Professionally, she wears suit pants and stylish buttoned tops with heels. Likes to dye her natural blonde hair black or green, but she's been rocking black for a long time. Has deep crystal blue eyes which helps giver her a pleasant, approachable look. She also has a nose piercing. Has scars all over her due to childhood abuse.

Personality: Claire's experiences as a child molded her into a hardened woman, but one who is determined to escape her past and carve her own destiny. Claire often looked to music as her escape from reality, with a deep, passionate love for metal in particular, but also punk rock. Claire worked hard in college to get work as a CPS social worker, and in starting her college life and new job, broke Claire out of her dour world and now she generally acts bubbly and up-beat. However, Claire is still occasionally wracked with bouts of depression which her boyfriend helps her through. Claire is tough and may be seen as edgy to some, but she genuinely cares about her work and shows a surprising amount of patience and sincerity with the people she meets.

Alright, fair enough!

Everyone can nominate up to two characters in total now.

---

Name: Katherine "Katy" Moretz
Age (17 and up): 31
Gender: Female

Occupation: Ballet instructor
Life goal: Live in Paris with her husband and teach ballet there, and become a well-respected and well-known figure in her field.

Physical description: Katy's dirty blonde hair comes down to shoulder-length, framing a healthily chubby face that's expressive and usually seen with either a sarcastic smirk or genuine wide-mouthed grin. Having performed ballet since she was a child, Katy is an excellent shape with defined and toned muscles and statuesque posture. Her feet/toes are slightly gnarled due to the effects of ballet however. Katy is rarely seen without her ballet outfit on, consisting of simple athletic dance shorts and tank-top, with ballet slippers or totally barefoot. With the ballet slippers, Katy has a penchant for colorful, printed socks.

Personality: On the outside, Katy is nothing short of confident, totally in-control, and 100% original. A ballet dancer since she was 6 years old, Katy dedicated herself to the art, eventually becoming proficient enough to teach it herself, a dream come true. Katy is serious when she needs to be, but generally acts sarcastic and nonchalant about things and always seems to be laughing with a positive outlook on life. Katy is happily married to a Navy-man, however he's often away overseas occasionally making her feel lonely and contemplative in private, but she is afraid to let anyone see those feelings and let anyone down because she's afraid people won't see her as the always happy-go-lucky woman she's perceived as. Katy also yearns to become one of the top in her field and have her name known throughout the world of ballet. Despite landing her dream job, Katy has slowly been feeling stuck where she's at and as she gets older, struggles with making her dream a reality.

---

Name: Phoebe Spectro
Age (17 and up): 23
Gender: Female

Occupation: Paranormal Investigator/Spiritual Medium
Life goal: To prove that ghosts are real to the rest of the world.

Physical description: Phoebe stands at about 5"3, she has black hair and tends to just wear jeans and t-shirts with cheesy catchphrases
Personality: Usually really quirky and fun loving, but becomes incredibly serious and emotional when 'speaking with the dead'. While she truly believes she can communicate with ghosts, it's incredibly unclear to everyone else if she's serious or faking.

---

Name: Sasha Wolfe
Age (17 and up): 34
Gender: Female

Occupation: Store Manager (may have been something else in the past but will leave that up to you for story purposes)
Life goal: Revenge / Justice

Physical description: Very tall with her face bandaged. Burned. Wears heavy clothing
Personality: Gives off an intimidating presence (unintentional) and usually keeps to herself. Actually quite nice and cordial to those willing to approach her. Protective of those she cares about.

---

Name: Harlon "The Brigham Bay Butcher" Botchinellio
Age: 52
Gender: Male

Occupation: Mass Murderer
Life goal: To escape from the law after killing his cellmate, and become free to kill again

Physical description: Nearly 8' tall and swollen with outrageous muscle. Mangled grey hair and various scars on his face and arms.
Personality: Evil. Dark-humored, but it's hard to tell what is and isn't a joke sometimes.

---

I remember these, it really has been ages since the last one.

Name: John Johnson
Age (17 and up): 19
Gender: Male

Occupation: Law Student / Part-time cotton candy vendor
Life goal: Graduate from law school and start his own law firm with his brother.

Physical description: Lanky, average height, pale skin and curly brown hair. Dresses very preppy when not at work.
Personality: Very studious, he spends all his free time studying or working part-time to pay for college. Strongly believes he and his brother can start their own law firm, Johnson and Johnson, that specializes in rights for babies so they will have no more tears. Does not yet understand trademarks.
---

Name: Madeline
Age (17 and up): 20
Gender: Female

Occupation: Cycled through a lot, currently an aspiring artist
Life goal: To be remembered

Physical description: Athletic but short (4'10), short black bob haircut, blue eyes
Personality: The definition of an overachiever, she works to excel at anything she sets her mind on, whether it's physical, academic, or creative, and she'll keep trying until she either does or realizes that it's literally impossible. But she has a hard time finding value in any of her accomplishments and almost always drops them to move on to something else. Appears to other people to have a carefree "leaf-in-a-river" sort of mentality towards her life, but in reality spends a lot of time dwelling on perceived mistakes and especially her past accomplishments, which she feels she couldn't appreciate because she still wasn't good enough, whatever her skill level actually was.

Despite all of her hard work the one thing she never managed to pick up was people skills, so she's often blunt about whatever's on her mind without thinking about how it will affect who she's talking to. But she's not a mean person and will apologize in a hurry if she feels like she went too far. Has a bit of an ego problem, which she'll sometimes exaggerate for a laugh but usually just tries to keep in check. Hates feeling like she failed or got cheated out of a victory, but loves finding someone who's just genuinely better than her at something and will be the first to congratulate them for it.

I was a little worried about her just ending up all 'haha look at how perfect I am' so maybe this ended up a little longer than it needed to? Oh well, here's my second character.

Alright, since we're almost there I'm gonna start writing like today or tomorrow at least. If anyone still wants to enter, feel free to!

I'm feeling pretty good about our roster so far, a good mix of characters. We do have two very old guys, two Johns, and two women who want to be writers interestingly enough.

There are some people who I'd be interested in seeing pairing up together but I'll leave that to how the story goes.

The starting positions will also be randomized and here's the map for Eightopia World, our arena for this time!

I'll be honest I completely glossed over the fact that there was already a John lol
---

I'll have one of them go by Johnny in story to make things less confusing (hopefully!).

---

I think John "Johnny" Johnson works well anyway

---

These are literally what made me become a member of the board.
