Haven

Sup sup sup!

I'm Jas, I'm bringing you the wonder that is Matilda Monroe, or just plain Mat. She's a bit of a genius. Well, until it comes to anything that you would consider "functioning at life" and then she's a massive spazz. She's been kidnapped by the evil cult and some of you lovely people are about to save her! Well, I hope you are, -makes puppyface-

She was a Mathematics major at M.I.T and she's always been eccentric to say the least, but what with everything that's gone down since the Virus? She's now pretty cracky. She talks to herself - even when she's talking to other people. She has a slew of behavioural ticks and can be pretty annoying what with the non-stop babble and moving around and making mess. But really, she's a sweetheart, and she's pretty accepting of other people's flaws, so don't be mean to her thaaaanks. Or do, because y'know, being mean to my characters is pretty much what I live for -wicked grin- Haha. Anyways yeah, check out her full profile on this journal <3

If anyone wants to discuss cult rescue mission stuff with me then do it do ittt.

Hello everyone!

The kidnapping plot is kicking off, so we thought we'd drop some extra info on you before you dive right in. This way, everyone can be on the same page with what their characters are going through. We don't want to have Person #1 getting water boarded while Person #2 is eating a cheese sandwich. Groovy? Remember to look at the Week Change to time any threads appropriately.

( Captives )

( Rescuers/Everyone still at Haven )

Remember, everything posted here is just a guideline. Go in to more detail when you thread! Take what we've given you here and go nuts with it!

As always, if you have any questions or comments, you can catch either of the mods on AIM.

Happy gaming!

Here's Jewseph! I mean Joseph.

Howdy folks, Charlie here again. Bringing a second character to Haven long after I brought Nate here, though technically...Nate has been here a fraction of the time that Joe Blow here has. He's a former radio DJ in Denver, who also happened to be really good at growing his own medicine (i.e. marijuana). He was in Denver when everything went down and was with his family for a span before things went south, so he bailed with the intention of finding a small town out west that was safer than where he was at. That was how he ran into the original group and ended up at Mount Evans, where he's been in charge of working in the kitchen and all that jazz. He just recently let people know he can work a radio pretty well and has some serious technological knowledge to go along with it, so that has been added to his docket. Along with trying to grow some extra plants in the gardens...if you catch his drift.

Joe really keeps his head down for the most part (thus why he hasn't been involved in a lot of the drama going on). He is a funny guy, though sometimes he doesn't know when he shouldn't be making his hilarious jokes. In a pinch, he's going to turn tail and run...another reason why he never really leaves Haven unless it's necessary. He's definitely not a fighter, but he's a good-intentioned guy and makes sure he does his job well in order to keep people fed and the radio signal stays strong. He's usually in the radio shack (insert stoner chuckle) when he isn't in the kitchen, reading cheesy fantasy novels (hello C-list Dragonlance) or sketching out his future career as a rock star. He's the guy to turn to for knowledge on any rock band from the seventies onward of any merit, though be prepared for a speech. More info can be found on him in his profile and you know I'm always around for plotting.

Hey guys.

I was originally really excited to be here, but this character is drying up in my head, and fairly quickly. There are a few reasons for it, and most of them personal. One of them, though, is that both of the threads I had going have been apparently abandoned, which are here & here in case you want to check. I'm not pissed off about it or anything, but it does make me feel hesitant about bothering to try again... if that makes sense? I'm a new guy in an established game with people that already know each other, and it makes me feel a little blah to hop into anything else. It may just be the pace the game has set too, and if that's the case then that's fine -- but it's not my style. I'm really not trying to pick a fight or be mean spirited, so I hope this doesn't come off that way. Like I said, I was really excited to be here originally. I'm ducking out though, so I'm sorry for that.

I wish you guys nothing but the best, honestly. I hope this game continues. You've been very friendly and helpful otherwise. :)

Thank you for giving me the chance (unlike the idiots at TQ),
Cris

-waves- Hey guys! So, from thursday to early sunday I'm going to be in yosemite with the fam bam for thanksgiving weekend. We're gonna be in a cabin that apparently does not have internet >.< but! Supposedly there are internet cafes close by so I won't be completely absent the whole weekend, just mostly. :) If you need to talk to me about something your best bet is e-mailing me at goodasgranger@yahoo.com and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!!

P.S. Sorry to those I was talking on AIM with earlier, I keep getting booted off so I'm assuming that AIM wants me dead. LOVES TO YOU ALL!

♥, Heather/Jessica/Sam :)

So I'm sorry to do this to you guys, but I'm going to be quitting this game. With the hectic stuff going on like all my PT and things, I've decided to stay only with the games that I'm really into, and I'm just not feeling Haven so much anymore.

I guess I'll see you guys around. Have fun. x

Hi! I'm Jen and to the best of my knowledge, nobody here knows me - yet! I'm bringing along a new character who's been around Haven for awhile now, but do to over-doing it during the initial outbreak, he's been very anti-social. Now he's starting to wake up and is ready operate in the real world again!

So here's Theo; please don't call him Theodore. He's a former ER doctor who just finished his residency before everything went to hell. I'm terrible at summarizing so I'll just point to the link to his bio. He's probably been sequestered in a little house in the compound but will be more than willing to get out and get his hands dirty in the medical center in the days and weeks to come!

I'm usually at a computer during the day but whether or not I can be on AIM depends on whether or not I'm in class, at work, or playing, uh, Warcraft (*cough*). If I am on AIM, I'll be on i dont curtsey, but the best and most reliable way to get ahold of me is via email: syncretic.routine [at] gmail [dot] com!

So hi again and I look forward to playing!

As advertised, Week Five is going to be intense. We're ramping up from our smaller events and individual group threads into some serious game wide plot. We're really looking forward to seeing what everyone does with this and how you all get involved.

What we'd like to do is have everyone comment here with the names of each of their characters and how you want them to be involved. Sort of like the wish meme, but for a specific plot. There's going to be a lot going on, and hopefully everyone can find some great stories to tell in this.

Hey all! I'd like to apologize for my EXTREME absence... I've been checking up on the community pretty regularly but RL situations (and a pretty drastic case of procrastination) have prevented me from jumping on in on the fun! For those of you who don't know, I'm Mandy, this is Brisck and his info is all up on his journal. He's fun and kinda goofy and he's one of the construction dudes with actual construction experience! He has a really cool dog named Lita annnd... uh... Well, go look for yourself on his profile! XD

He's open for all sorts of plot! No seriously. He needs it. I'm not usually on AIM anymore so drop me an email at originaimoment@AOL.com or just tag me here at Brisck's journal and I'll get right back atcha!

<3 Mandy

Hey everybody! This is a friendly heads up about the week change. It'll be up soon, so if there's anything you want to cover for Week Four, put in a save spot. Or just start the thread, if you want to be an overachiever. If not, BRACE YOURSELVES FOR WEEK FIVE!

Yeah, the caps were totally necessary.

Happy gaming!

Sorry I haven't been around on the interbutts, friends.  I have been a very, very bad college student and I am trying to mend my wicked ways.  I am currently an ENTIRE CHAPTER behind on my math homework (oh noes!) with a test tomorrow, also behind about 3 speech responses and need to write up an outline and demonstration speech. 

TL;DR: I suck, I'm sorry.  I will hopefully (HOPEFULLY) be available for Getting Shit Done by the weekend, but I can't make promises. 

ALSO, DON'T FORGET TO VOTE TODAY IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!  IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

Hey all, Leigh here with a new character. Yes, you are reading this rather ingenious journal name correct. This is Ariel Checkett, Penny's cousin who is one year younger than our beloved Head of Security.

I'm running on fumes here, so this is going to be the shittiest intro ever. Ari, as she prefers to be called, spent her childhood moving from place to place playing Army brat. Her father made a career out of his involvement in said military branch, and both of his daughters eventually went on to enlist as well. After high school Ari joined up and became an Air and Missile Defense Crewmember, even though her parents didn't want her to be found in any combat situations. The girl's an adrenaline junkie, what can I say?

Personality wise, she's blunt and no-nonsense, but that doesn't mean that she's completely uptight. Or a wet blanket like Noah... This one comes with a lewd and perverted sense of humor, and a great sense of loyalty and purpose. Basically, you want her on your team. And speaking of teams (Oh, nice set up for a pun!), she's a lesbian. Yep, gays in the military and all of that fun stuff! She's not closeted about it, but managed not to have that found out in her time serving her country. To this day she's still not sure if her parents ever figured it out, but that probably doesn't matter too much now... BAW! She's not yet at Haven, but will be picked up by Travis and Penny on their way back before the week change.

Ennywhoozles, this is a crappy intro, so to fully read up on her go here. While you are at it, throw me plot, bbs! I can usually be reached at effinayeMANG on AIM, but currently have been on a normal-ish sleep schedule, so don't hate me too much. D:

Also, Noah and Lulu are always up for plotz of all shapes and sizes. Yes. Holla!

OH! Also! She is your new radio communications operator! YAY!

It’s been busy around here! We want to welcome all our new players and characters (don’t forget to run the friends button), and to thank everyone for joining in the fight plot. It’s shaken things up, and we're really impressed with how everyone has run with it. We’re coming up on a week change soon, so it’s time to talk plot.

This Week (Week Four)

There are just a couple major events left to cover:

Rocky Mountain Arsenal: A trip to recover more supplies. (Thursday Morning/Afternoon)

Town Hall Meeting/Trial/Angry Mob/Intervention: Discussing the trouble with the leadership. (Saturday Night)

Are people interested in playing either or both of these out? Anything we've missed? Are we ready for a week change this weekend or early next week?

Next Week (Week Five)

For Week Five things are going to get even more plot intense. The Seekers, that cult who caused this whole mess, have a mole in the camp. Elizabeth has been scouting out Haven with an eye towards abducting some new recruits. Next week, her team will be joining her and they’ll put that plan into action. This is a major event that is going to effect everyone, and we don’t want anyone to be taken by surprise by it. (Well, we want all the characters to be taken by surprise, but not the players XD ) The current abductee list includes Penny, Lulu, Brooke, Lew, and Jess. If we've got that wrong please say something. And if you want to offer up your character to be added to the list let us know! Anyone is eligible, male and female, young and old, they'll come up with some reason they need them.

What happens after that is mostly undecided, so that plotting is up to you. We’ll need a rescue team, and people who may be injured or displaced in the chaos. Drop a comment with ideas for how you want to be involved in this plot, and what you’d like to see happen in conjunction with it.

The Future

We have some ideas for plots yet to come, and we want to incorporate plot ideas that you have too. Let us know what you think of these and what other ideas you have. Please keep in mind, we do ask that any plots that are going to effect the whole game (or more than a few characters) get approved by a mod first. We don't want to be controlling dictators, we just want to make sure that different plot lines don't conflict with each other and that things keep running as smoothly as possible.

- Outpost: Setting up a second location, with the increasing population and the need for better land for agriculture it might not be a bad idea. That means splitting people up though, convincing the community, and finding people to take the lead on the project.

- Traders: Some visitors from the outside world, looking to trade with the survivors. A way to bring in some new characters. What sort of welcome will they get? Are they really who they say they are?

- Distress Call: The radio picks up a signal from a small group or community in trouble. How will the residents of Haven respond?

Hello all! I'm Gynelle, and I bring a young'un who goes by Amir Jeffen. He's a Lebanese man, former soldier and a quiet and friendly sort of fellow. He speaks French and Arabic fluently, and can get by in English, though he sometimes confuses or forgets words. He's not comfortable talking about the origin of the scar on his face (it runs across his eye), but he's more than willing to make friends and chat with anyone around. He's trained in both medicine and machine repair, and has only been at Haven for about a week. He might be a little shy, but if anyone is up for scenes, I'd LOVE to participate. :) My screen name is LandonCallahan, (though I also use Drapes3325 and JamieintheFilms.)

I look forward to scening with everyone!

Hello! New person alert! I go by Cris and the man I'm dragging into Haven goes by Cody! He's been living in Haven since September of 2012, so pretty much everyone should be at least aware of his existence. He mans the kitchen (quite literally, I'm told) along with Charlotte, and in his spare time he helps out around the garden and with the livestock. He does not leave Haven, not for anything. There's a lot of psychological and physical damage on this guy (half deaf, trouble breathing when under stress, burns all over his chest, neck, legs and arms), and as a result he does not fare well in the face of the Eaters.

I'm excited to get him going, so any ideas for scenes would be much appreciated! You can reach me on AIM at lindseyshines or at gaspation@gmail.com. Thanks for having me!

quick edit: you'll be asked to confirm you're not a bot, but it'll be worth it just for the lulz, trust me.

'Sup, ya'll. This be Heather! (it's late, so I'm a lot more street)

I'm here to introduce my second character, Sam Nicholson. Nicholson, you say? Why yes! He just so happens to be the eldest brother of one Haven resident Lulu Nicholson, and was also at one point a member of Brooke Collin's small band of travelers before he got separated from them over seven months ago (details in Sam's history). Sam is a hard working, goodnatured and carefree kind of guy, friendly and fun to be around. It's honestly hard not to like him just ask Brooke! Sometime after he is found by Jack and arrives at Haven (the day he comes in will be dated Friday afternoon of Week four) he'll be recruited as a builder. He's obviously coming into Haven at a very awkward, uncertain time so we'll see how everything pans out! Sam possesses a real can-do sort of attitude, very thoughtful and hates conflict, but when it comes down to it he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. Honestly he'll just be glad as all get out once he discovers that Lulu and Brooke are still alive, so despite all the weirdness going around Haven right now he probably won't take more notice than necessary. He'll be looking to get to know people, as well as helping out wherever he can. Check out his bio for further details! And-

Hit me with your best plots, baby!

Holy bananas! A n00b! Hello all! My name is Lindsey. I'm new to the game, though some of you will know me from other games. If not, well then, what are you waiting for? I'm awesome!

But you don't need an intro on me, so I'll get right onto the character. I'm bringing in Brooke Collins, a survivor found back in October with two of her traveling companions. She was in university studying earth sciences and had a desperate desire to one day work for NASA. Oh yeah. She's a giant ass brain, and she knows it. She is mostly mad at this whole apocalypse thing happening because it ruined her career and academic aspirations. She contributes to the community by working the gardens like a pro. She's got a green thumb, y'all.

There's no beating around the bush. Personality wise, Brooke isn't always... likeable. She's a very logical, demanding and bossy young woman. She places all of her self-importance on her intellect, has high expectations of others, and can be very, very pushy. If she sees you doing something wrong she will tell you, and often scold you for it. However, for those that can stand to get passed all the type-A personality stuff, she's a very trustworthy individual and very caring. She pushes people because she wants to see them succeed, not because she wants to humiliate or belittle them. Though you can see where there would be trouble with that line of thinking.

Now onto plotting! Drop me a line here or at mcadamsgasm, and I'd love to work out some storylines! Can't wait to start playing!

I found this on Youtube. There is some shots of the interior.

• It looks like it has a cabin type look inside with log and rock walls. 
• Living quarters for the Scientist
• A small kitchen
• The main floor is referred to as the Control Room
• It's built strong for Mountain top conditions
• Other nice bits of information.

EDIT: It works now - Thanks ThroughTheNoise

HELLO, ALL! My name is Kari and I'm new here! This guy may be a new character to us, but your characters will recognize him as a staple in this place. He's taking the place of Andie as one of the six founders of Haven.

His name is Robby Itchibald, but he's been going by Itchie since someone took a look at his ID tag in the hospital where he was planning to live out the last of his days and called him "Itchie" when they invited him to come along with them. He's a former EMT who was going to school to become a doctor. When the virus hit, he was unaffected, but his pregnant wife of five years lost her life and that of their unborn child.

You're going to want to read his personality profile. He's a complainer who gets the job done as he bitches about it. He's dependable and annoyingly critical. He's intelligent, inventive, creative, and paranoid. He's trustworthy and distrusting, argumentative but worthless in a fight. He's generous, but he'd never take credit for it. He's got a sense of humor (albeit mostly sarcastic) unless the joke's on him. I could say more, but it's late and I'm insane, and you should really just read his personality and whatnot!

PLOT WITH ME HERE! :D I mean, he runs the medical center and he was one of the first six people to step foot in Haven. In fact, your character probably needed to be checked out for signs of illness not long after they got there, and guess who evaluated them? THAT'S RIGHT. ITCHIE DID. He might annoy the hell out of your character or they may find him oddly endearing. The choice is yours! Or, well, you character's. But yeah.

My AIM is so kari was like, should any of you feel the need to IM me, and I'll be here all night!
