Bitter Horizons

Rock, Ice, Snow, and Wind…
The year was 2019 when we awoke to cold unfamiliar surroundings. Strange faces outnumbering the familiar as the morning sunlight refracted off of the deep snow and sharp peaks that encompassed our horizon. How we got here, where we are, how long it has been since we have been taken from our homes and families is a complete mystery. The only hope we have lies on the Bitter Horizon...and any answers or dangers we may find beyond it.

This Rp takes place in a mysterious time and place, in a freezing cold climate. Several individuals find themselves at the top of a mountain range, with only themselves, a few dogs, some supplies, and whatever they had on them in their last memory. There are answers to be found, hardships to overcome, and only each other to depend upon. Only one question remains...will they be able to survive long enough to face any of the mysteries that lie ahead?

Rules & Info

♦ All LioDen rules apply. ♦

~~Your characters CAN DIE!! This is a survival based Rp.

~~Godmodding and powerplay will not be tolerated. This includes prey characters that are hunted in Rp. Remember, all characters have strengths and weaknesses. No one here should be invincible or omnipresent. Please note that the setting takes place in a COLD environment...characters with short legs and little body fat will find themselves at a disadvantage.

~~Fights & Hunts between characters, predators, and prey will be Rped out. I, and those who I approve, will be rping the prey and NPCs. Be as realistic as possible in all of these situations, and note that you may be asked to describe a move that seems impossible or improbable from another's point of view. If the fight drags on for too long and slows the Rp a winner will be decided based on wounds, accumulation of wounds, size, etc.

~~This Rp will have story driven qualities that will determine the future of these people. Decisions on which path to take will be posted in the Rp thread at regular intervals, as will updates on weather and threats to survival and/or changes of scenery. Time skips may be integrated at key points in time.

~~Though death is avoidable characters can, and will, die if they do not take care of their health...Ie: eating, drinking water, doing their best to avoid serious wounds. If I see any neglect to take care of one's own health...illness, or weakness, will likely be the result. Keep in mind that medical attention is relatively minimal at the moment, and make sure to follow the directions of whoever knows the most about medicine within the group if you do not wish for a situation to get worse.

~~Avoid romantic relationships between your own characters...challenge yourself and try and form bonds with someone elses character.

~~All mature content must either fade to black or be taken off-site in accordance with Lioden’s roleplay rules. Mild violence and innuendo should be fine so long as you are mindful not to overdo it and respect the boundaries of your fellow roleplayers.

~~This rp is an LGBTQIA friendly thread. If you do not feel comfortable with this, you may wish to find a different place to rp.

~~This is intended to be a semi-literate/advanced roleplay. Please be capable of writing a full paragraph (five sentences) at minimum and practicing proper grammar. Occasional writer’s block is understandable, but keep in mind that if you break this rule every post you may be asked to leave.

~~It’s understandable if some of your characters have a pretty traumatic background, but let's not go overboard with all of the characters. Not everyone in this group will be orphans or come from a family with horrifying home stories...try to keep it fifty fiffty when it comes to dark backstories.

~~Be as active as possible. I understand if life gets in the way, but please contact me if you won't be able to post regularly so we can integrate a reason for your character's absence in rp. Otherwise, your character will likely be replaced or killed off...

~~For now each player is limited to two characters in this rp.

~~You may use photo references for your characters, but you must link back to the picture's original source. Tinypic, Pinterest, Photobucket and other photo sharing sites generally do not count as original sources. If you use artwork it needs to either be your own or something that was specifically made for you. Please provide proof. Art theft will not be tolerated.

~~Note that I may add rules when necessary. I will generally notify you if this happens in addition to updating you on upcoming events etc.

~~By signing up you agree to respect your fellow roleplayers. I expect everyone to be kind to one another out of character. Please write "I read and agree to the rules of this roleplay" if you have done so.
