Trapped ~ A Survival Roleplay

[✞~Spottedleaf ~✞]

INTRODUCTION
It was the beginning of your fall break when you were traveling to the mountains. You live miles away from where you were going, far too many miles to drive there. Instead, you were traveling by airplane. It all started out well, and you were very excited about your trip. However, things took a turn for the worst.

During the flight, a severe storm blew through and made the ride quite shaky. While in the middle of the storm, suddenly the intercoms turned on. The pilots informed the flight members that due to the storm, it was too dangerous to continue traveling. They alerted everyone to prepare for landing as soon as they got to the nearest airport.

Shortly after the announcement, the airplane started to lower. Then, all of a sudden, the fierce winds jerked the plane so hard that the pilots lost control of it. Before there was time to regain control, the plane smashed into a tree and plummeted toward the ground.

For a while, everything went dark. Then, you regained consciousness. It is the next morning now, and you can see that you are surrounded by mountains. When you look at the remains of the plane, you notice that it is severely damaged, so damaged that it is beyond repair. You go to pull out your phone, but to your dismay, it got broken in the crash. Not that there would be any signal in these parts anyway. From the looks of it, you are stuck here and no one knows where you are. You are trapped here.

TERRITORY
The land the crash survivors live in an area entirely surrounded by mountains. As far as the eye can see, mountains surround them for what seems to be several hundred miles. Not only are there more mountains than anyone can count, there are also thousands of trees. The trees found there depend on where you are in terms of elevation. The further up the mountains you go, the more and more evergreen trees there are, since for the rest it gets too cold for them to survive. Further down, there are more deciduous trees suitable for climbing, cutting, and carving out tools with. These trees include oaks, chestnuts, maples, and birches, to name a few.

Other plants that grow here that the survivors find useful are those that have healing properties. Some herbs require them to hike further down the mountain to find, since not all herbs can survive at higher altitudes. Mainly, the herbs that are used include ones like rosemary, parsley, thyme, and mint. However, of course, they are not limited to those alone.

Although it depends on the season and elevation, the climate here can be quite rough a lot of the time. The warmest it gets is seventy degrees Fahrenheit (or roughly twenty degrees Celsius), while the coldest temperature can be a harsh negative number. If there is a wind chill, it will feel far colder, especially if it is windy. The area receives a fair amount of precipitation, with most of it being in the colder seasons.

As far as freshwater goes, the main source the survivors have to rely on is a waterfall that falls into a slow-moving creek, to the east of where they shelter. However, in extremely cold temperatures, this creek is not always reliable. When it is cold like that, sometimes the survivors have to melt and boil snow to stay hydrated.

PLACES IN THE TERRITORY
THE WATERFALL- the waterfall is located to the east of camp, and it serves as the main source of freshwater. The waterfall flows down from the cliff above and into a slow-moving creek. Fish can be caught here.

FOREST- the forest makes up most of the mountainous territory. The forest is what acts as shelter for most of the animals that roam the land. It also provides the inhabitants most of their means of survival. Firewood, herbs, food, etc.

GRAVESITE- the Gravesite is in the wooded area that is behind the camp. This is where the tribe buries their dead. For tombstones, they use large rocks that they can find in various parts of the land.

CAMP
The camp is found on a flatter part of the mountains. It is still surrounded by trees, but the trees are cleared out to provide enough living space. The shelters found here are makeshift huts, made out of wood. Even though they are not the fanciest, they are enough to make for adequate shelters.

In the center of the camp, is a fire pit surrounded by benches. This is usually where the tribe hangs out, eats meals, and has meetings. The shelters, and the areas where jobs are performed in the space surrounding that. Everyone has their own shelter, except for caretakers and the younger children. Also, there is a separate shelter for the sick and injured to sleep. That way, the medics can keep a close eye on them.

ANIMALS
Brown Bear – dangerous, but can be hunted by people in groups if they are small enough. Used for food, blankets, and clothing.
Cougars – dangerous and rarely caught. It is usually best to stay away from these.
Deer- calm-natured animals. Rarely caught, but when they are it makes for a great feast
Hawks – uncommon because they fly. Used for food. Their claws have some uses too, such as weapon making.
Smaller Birds – uncommon because they fly. Used for food.
Smaller Land Prey (squirrels, rabbits, etc) – easily caught. Can be used for food and to make smaller clothing items with.
Fish- common. Easily caught, unless the water is frozen.
Snakes – only especially dangerous if venomous

CHILDREN
Until the children become of age, they stick with the caretakers. They spend most of their time gathering items like berries, fruit, herbs, and firewood. When they turn 12, they start training in different jobs. They work to see which job fits them best, and when they turn 13, they start working in their chosen field. After another two years, they leave their caretakers and live in their own huts.

CHOOSING LEADER
If the leader dies or becomes incapable of leading the tribe, then the leader’s assistant becomes the new leader. However, if the leader’s assistant dies, then the leader will appoint a new one. The leader’s assistant must be at least 18 years of age, and they must be capable of doing all the jobs.

Once the leader’s assistant takes over as leader, and if the rest of the people dislike how they handle things, then a meeting will be held. The meeting will consist of a voting system on if the leader’s assistant should just step down from the rank, or if they should leave the group entirely. The majority rules in the voting system.

If more people vote for the assistant to do either option, then the new leader chosen must be at least 18 years of age and be able to handle all the jobs. If the leader does not oblige to this system, then they will no longer be eligible to be in the leader position.

ALLEGIANCES

Leader:
Kassandra Patterson (Kass)- Kassandra is a tan-skinned girl. She is 5 feet and 8 inches tall and weighs roughly 140 pounds. She usually wears dark colors, such as black, dark blue, and gray, but occasionally she will wear greens and reds. For pants, she is usually always in dark-washed jeans. She has long, dark brown hair that almost looks black. Her hair is usually kept in a single braid and held back in black hair ties. She has hazel eyes. Kassandra is 26 years old. (✞~Spottedleaf ~✞ )

Kassandra is a strong young woman who is a natural-born leader. Before the crash, Kassandra had always enjoyed activities such as camping and hiking, so she isn't totally new to surviving in areas like this. She puts the lives of her tribe above her own when it comes to making any decision, no matter how tough it is. She is the type of person who would rather suffer herself than watch anyone else around her suffer, so that is why she is the way she is with that kind of thing. Kassandra is also not the type to think that just because she is the leader that she HAS to have things done her way. She is very fair and wants to consider everyone when it comes to making decisions, even though the final one is hers. Kassandra is very friendly, though she lets her temper get away from her sometimes if she is stressed out. Her friends often call her Kass instead of Kassandra.

[I don’t know what I’m doing]

Username: diamondstar84
Name: Taeshi Masuyiku(She is Japanese)
Appearance: Taeshi has baby pink colored hair, and it has two braids in the front, and four opal shaped designs on the back, held together by a wind charm. She made her hair look like she had cat ears. It reaches down to her hip. She did diy her hair pink, but it will probably fade away to its natural color of black since she didn’t bring any diy, and she’s in the wild. She wears a traditional kimono that is a lavender color. It has small flowers and cat designs on it. The band around her waist is a light pink. The sleeves go over her hands by 2 inches. She wears traditional red sandals. She does have more comfortable clothes, which is a white t-shirt with a lucky cat on it and blue jeans with brown boots, but she rarely wears it because she thinks it’s “Offensive to her native country”. She has brown eyes, and she does have a small scar on her hand. She weighs 110.9lbs, and is 5’4.
Personality: Taeshi is very shy. She mostly doesn’t talk to any other campmates, expect for children since she is a caretaker. Before the crash, Taeshi was mostly alone in her house expect for her cats, who would always keep her company. She enjoyed painting and crafts. She is a Hikikomori, which is basically someone who stays at home all the time and rarely goes out. The only times she does go out is when buying groceries, or painting a landscape. After the crash, Taeshi began to get more nervous. She was stuck in the mountains with a bunch of strangers, not knowing where she was or how her cats were doing. So, she secluded herself, and doesn’t talk to anyone other than children. Taeshi is actually very friendly, but does tend to overreact about small things. She can sometimes be seen as annoying because of how nervous she gets, so Taeshi tries to hide her feelings. Though, she is trying to push herself to be more social.
Age: 16 years old
Rank: Caretaker
Password: 
Siblings/Family: Taeshi is an orphan, so that’s why she lived by herself without anyone knowing. She actually didn’t tell anyone that she was living all alone, so they just assumed that her mother was sick since her father had already died.
Other: Taeshi is Heterosexual


Username: diamondstar84
Name: Danterlie Ridian
Appearance: Danterlie has grey hair, which is just put in a into two messy braids in front of her, which reach down right below her chest. She wears a black shirt with a couple of white spots on it, which is ripped right above her belly button. She wears short black jeans, which reaches a couple of inches above her knees. She has a long white robe, which mostly covers her entire body. She wears black sandals, which barely cover her feet, but mostly just doesn’t wear any shoes. She has brown eyes, and has scars on her left cheek, and one on her back. She is 5’11 and weighs 136.7lbs. She has Pyoderma gangrenosum, which is the reasoning why she wears short pants, yet still wants to cover her legs constantly.
Personality: While not being very social, Danterlie still enjoys the company of her campmates. She looks up to Kassandra like a mother, and constantly tries to copy what she does. Despite being technically an adult, Danterlie still enjoys learning about new things, wanting to be a police officer or a security guard. She does know a bit of karate, but she only began taking lessons 3 weeks before the crash happened. She has a definition of cool, which is someone who stays in the shadows but when needed comes out and saves the day(Basically Protoman, but if you don’t know who he is that’s fine-). Danterlie wants to be this type of cool, so she still practices perfecting moves and making up her own. But, she definitely sucks at staying in the shadows constantly. She is an ambivert, meaning she usually enjoys the company of someone else, unless it’s annoying. Welp, at least she can be halfway cool in her eyes!
Age: 20 years old
Rank: Hunter
Password: Stranded
Siblings/Family: At home, Danterlie and her brother(Evl)were taken care of by their father(Dilan)), grandfather(Timre), and grandmother(Uvi). At the age of 17 she moved out, finding an apartment she liked, but still kept in touch with her family. 
Other: Danterlie is Bisexual.
