Have you ever wondered how society might differ if we got the chance to ѕтαят σνєя? Would we have мσηєу, or тяα∂є? Would we work ѕєραяαтєℓу, or тσgєтнєя? Would we let ourselves be divided by яα¢є, σяιgιη, ¢συηтяу, and gєη∂єя? Or would we let ourselves work as σηє? Well congratulations as you have the chance to start over! Welcome to є∂єη! About the RP
Basically, in this roleplay, we will be playing as characters on a, uh, reality television show of sorts. In this show, a large section of land has been fenced off for said characters to live in. They start off with nothing but the skills that they have from their previous live. In Eden, they are expected to make a new community, a new society. Build houses and a civilization, or travel nomadic, following whatever they might want.
As such, this rp is going to be a wildcard plot wise. Characters can split up into different groups. Work together or have every man for himself. Create their own form of government or have none. Whatever they want will go.
Rules
- No spamming! If you are asking someone about coming to an rp, then go for it. But no advertising, please. - No mary-sues or gary-stus. Characters are not perfect -- they won't know how to do everything! - Characters must be eighteen or over and even then, I would prefer some older characters. People aren't going to let their high schoolers go do this crazy stuff! - Keep it PG. If things get bad (and I'm sure they will), please take it to PM and just skip right on over it. Please and thank you. - Do not have any major plot twists without my knowledge. I would like to know before anything crazy happens. To add on to this, no killing another person's character unless they agree to it previously. - Hmmm... oh, right, have fun!
Eden TV Show Rules
- Only people eighteen and over and apply to be on the show. - Upon first opening, Eden will place an even number of males and females into the area. - Every couple weeks, Eden will add in more people if they feel it is necessary for the development of the show. - The players will start out with nothing. They can build up "credits" to trade for things out of a catalog that Eden will supply weekly. The credits are to be shared by everyone. Single persons cannot have their own credits. - People who have not been cleared for the show are not allowed. - Eden may change, add, or remove rules at any time.

Setting
Eden takes place on a few hundred acres of untouched land in the northern United States. The specifics of its location beyond that are not to be revealed. All that the players know is that it is mainly all thick, untouched woods. There are few patches of non-woodsy land that are laid out in meadows with grass that reaches nearly three feet high. There are a few rivers that run through the area along with a couple lakes, one being bigger than the other. Rivers feed into both of these. Sources of food include berries, wild carrots, and apples. The prey animals include deer, turkeys, rabbits, and fish. Predators include wolves, foxes, mountain lions, and bears. Players are also informed that the winters here are harsh, so it is best to be ready for winter. It usually starts to get cold in September and snow can start as early as October, but usually waits until November. Winter will continue on until late February, early March and sometimes even spills over into April. Currently, it is...
May. Sunny and fairly warm.

Players
Screen Name: Blaze Rp Name: Mason Rivera Gender: Male Age: 24 Sexuality: Straight Looks: Tall, about 6' even, with short black hair that he tries to keep nicely combed, although that's a bit difficult given their lack of grooming supplies. His eyes are a dark amber color and his skin is already tanned from years of working outside. Also from working outside, he's muscled and broad-shouldered. The few clothes that he was allowed to bring are mainly composed of his flannel, a few dark t-shirts, some holey jeans, and a pair of black boots. Personality: Mason is... a flirt, to say the least. He will hit on any girl he sees, no matter what. He loves to flirt, but not necessarily to stay in a relationship. He can be a little bit rude, upfront, and doesn't mind speaking his mind, even if others might disagree with what he says. He doesn't care what others might think of him. Skills: He can lift heavy things. Somewhat good at carpentry, and he likes to be a leader. Weaknesses: He very easily can turn everyone against. Lets his emotion get the best of him. Can't hunt or fish for the life of him. Previous Occupation: He was working on a farm, helping to fix up fences, barns, etc. Relationship Status: None Other: He left behind a young daughter named Ariana, but he prefers not to mention her. She's his secret.
Screen Name: Blaze Rp Name: Katherine (Kat) Evermore Gender: Female Age: 20 Sexuality: Asexual Looks: Tiny and petite, Keisha stands at about 5'2". She has long, dark brown hair that is almost always fluffed up from humidity and eyes that are equally dark brown. She wears glasses, which might prove to be a hindrance most of the time. Her skin is lightly tanned. Most of her clothing involves jeans, a pair of boots, and t-shirts with some band names on them. Personality: Kat is friendly, albeit awkward enough that she has trouble actually making friends or keeping a conversation going. So sometimes, she can come off as mean or end up just not saying anything at all because she'll open her mouth to speak, but no words will come out. However, get her on a topic she knows about, and she won't shut up. Skills: Anything animal. She knows how to care for goats, chickens, rabbits, etc. How to train dogs. The one animal she struggles a bit with are horses because she has a minor fear of them. She also knows a fair bit about plants. Weaknesses: Cannot do any kind of carpentry. Can't build something to save her life. Also has a fear of the dark. And anxiety. Previous Occupation: Farming. She worked on her family's farm, along with doing some dog training. Relationship Status: None Other: None
Screen Name: Shiokaze Rp Name: Jamie Gender: Male Age: 23 Sexuality: Asexual Looks: Jamie is small in stature, with dark brown hair that reaches just to his armpit, he has brown eyes. His face is round, making him seem younger then he is. Jamie takes little time to think through his outfit, and wears mostly what is comfortable, which turns to be a white t-shirt and blue jeans. He used to have a jacket he wore, but Richard threw that out ages ago-the moment he bought a new one, Richard threw that out as well. Jamie's complexion isn't of someone who spends a lot of time outside, as when he is out on his job, he is covered up really well, and the rest of the year he spends indoors in a factory, she he doesn't actually get a whole lot of sun. Personality: Jamie is a strange one, he is rather closed about some aspects, but rather open with other aspects. He wants to be trusted, but rarely trusts himself, making him rather unsure with his words and actions. He wants to be able to get close to others, but is afraid of doing so. The other aspect of him is his secrets, not to go into too much detail, is that he developed DID at a young age. He keeps this as much of a secret as possible in fear that he will be defined only by that and not any other part of him, which in a twisted sense of irony, how he currently acts is in a way defined by the disorder. He wants people to trust him, so he lies about this, hoping that they won't find out. The alters are named Richard, Corin, Melody, and Olimpia Skills: He is rather good at exploring and generally being a person to turn to in times of emotional distress. Richard can fight and hunt, Corin has is a good leader, Melody shares the similar skill on being able to help in times of emotional distress, and Olimpia is a good tailor. Weaknesses: He isn't someone who trusts himself in actually being able to help, so he usually latches onto someone to be able to actually make use of his skills. Jamie himself is pretty useless on the skills of his alters, more specifically he can't fight to save his life, as he lacks the courage and the skill to do so. Another weakness is Jamie had let the alters know that he doesn't want others finding out, so asked if they could refrain from using their own skills. Richard has no regard for other's emotional well-being and is generally a bit of a jerk, Corin is not good at anything that takes hand eye coordination(like fishing, tailoring, carpentry, ext), Melody is young and inexperienced, making her someone that people won't go to for logical advice, and Olimpia is also physically weak, making her useless with fighting. Previous Occupation: He was an assistant instructor at a ski resort, works at a candy factory the rest of the year. Relationship Status: Single Other: Jamie is going to be the one who is 'out' 85% of the time.
Screen name : centuries Rp name : Athena Gender : female Age : twenty-one Sexuality : pansexual Looks : If Athena wasn't scowling literally all the time, she would actually be rather pretty. She has long, wavy brown hair that is always in a high ponytail, along with blue eyes and extremely pale skin. Before this, she almost never went outside, which is why she's almost white in color. However, she does have freckles covering her entire face, though she despises them with every ounce of her being. She is rather skinny, as she forgets to eat often, but her chest is bigger than she would like, and she does have a little bit of fat on her stomach that she is overly self conscious about. She usually wears contacts, but since she can't really have them on the show, she is forced to wear her glasses to see, which she believes makes her "look like a nerd." She has her ears pierced, but doesn't bother to put in earrings, and has a tattoo of an arrow on each wrist. Personality : Athena is...well...interesting. For someone who wants to be a psychologist and study people all day, she sure does seem to hate human interaction. She is rather calm and professional, tending to treat people coldly until she gets to know them. However, she can become very nasty very quickly, if you make her angry. She has a terrible temper, and doesn't really think before she says things while in a fit of rage. This has caused many problems in the past. Despite seeming like such a horrible individual, she can be pleasant. I feel someone is upset or injured, she immediately turns into a Mom friend, overly concerned until that person feels better. Also, once she gets attached to someone, she becomes completely different. She acts very sweet and puppy-ish towards them, turning into a lovesick fool. Only towards the person she is attached to, though. She acts the same towards everyone else. Skills : She is extremely smart, and good at analyzing people. She isn't much of a fighter, and prefers to use her words, as she can also be manipulative when she wants to be. This is due to her studying psychology for three years. Weaknesses : she has no survival skills. None. She has lived a sheltered life, so doesn't even know how to start a fire. Also, she tends to be over confident in her skills, and has a very bad temper. Like, really bad. Previous Occupation : in school, studying psychology Relationship status : she probably doesn't even know what a relationship is Other : Yes, she was named after the Greek goddess of wisdom. Her mother thought it would make her smarter. Bring it up and she will murder you.
Screen name : centuries Rp name : Kane Gender : male Age : twenty-four Sexuality : bisexual Looks : Kane is a lot shorter than he would like, standing at about 5' 7", and has light, caramel brown skin. His hair is curly and pitch black, and often covering his hazel eyes, despite him thinking his eyes are the most attractive thing about him, if that gives you any idea of how confident he is. He has very few freckles, and the ones he does have don't show up on his skin, nor does the birthmark on his left shoulder. You have to really search to find it. Even though he seems "nerdy" and doesn't appear to be a kind of person who works out at all, he is fairly muscular, though certainly not big and buff like some men on the show, and probably not enough enough to help him. Before coming to the show, he wore glasses all the time, thinking they made him look smart even though he didn't need them, but he didn't bother to bring them when he came. He didn't think looking smart would help him at all. He has no tattoos or piercings, as he is too afraid of pain to even consider getting any. Personality : Kane is a complete and total nerd - which is why he went into nuclear science, which he rambles about...a lot. Half the time, people don't even know what he's saying, because he's talking about such complex things. Outside of science and math, though, he's clueless. He doesn't understand people at all, nor does he really know how to do anything for himself. He can't cook, or hunt, though he does at least have some survival skills. He can build a fire, and knows how to find different kinds of food (plants, because even though he can track animals, he can't kill them). That, and figuring out whether plants/water are safe to eat/drink, though, is about it. He usually latches onto one person, or a group of people, and follows them around everywhere, basically putting his entire life in their hands. That's kind of how he ended up here, actually. He didn't want to be on the show, but since his friends were applying (and encouraging him to do the same), he reluctantly decided to try. Of course, with his luck, he was the only one of his friend group who got picked. Skills : He is absolutely brilliant. That, and not being so weak he can't even pick up ten pounds, are about the only skills he has. Weaknesses : He's way, way too trusting, and tends to rely on either people. He is definitely an omega kind of person, quick to take orders and eager to please. Previous Occupation : student, studying nuclear science Relationship status : smol single bean Other :
Screen Name: upsidedown Rp Name: Constance "Connie" Falk Gender: Female Age: 23 years old Sexuality: Homosexual Looks: Standing at six foot two, with a pretty wide build and obvious, lean muscle on her, Connie cuts a pretty intimidating picture. Her skin is tanned from spending so much time outside, although still relatively light and covered in freckles. She has blue eyes and red hair that reaches past her shoulders. She's almost always found wearing a black and red varsity jacket, as well as a dark tan stetson. Personality: Connie is a kind person, who tends to remain level headed and genuinely cares about other people. She's the kind of person who has to help others solve their problems, which can lead to her seeming nosy. She's pretty smart, strategic in a sense, and incredibly curious, especially about anything that might seem out of the ordinary. Connie is also confident, with a guarded sort of swagger. Skills: Connie grew up in the south of the country, and practiced sharp and trick shooting for fun; she was never a horse person, after all. So she's a pretty talented marksmen. Besides that, she's knowledgeable about mechanics and wiring. Weaknesses: Connie tends to trust too easily and let's people have second chances, even when they don't deserve it. She usually believes her way is the correct way, and she can be pigheadedly stubborn about things Previous Occupation: She was attending school, learning electrical engineering. Relationship Status: Single and ready to pringle Other: None

(Just let me know if he isn't ok to use, I tried to balance out his alters, but I still don't know if it is good enough *thinks* I've never had to do this for them, though. It was pretty interesting to think of what their specific skills would be. Again, just let me know if I have to tweak them anymore)

((I can believe it. XD
Alright, I'm gonna make a little starter.))
Surrounding what was to now be their home was a tall fence. A singular gate connected society to where they were now and right by this gate was where the cars were dropping off the players.
Mason had been the first to be dropped off. He now stood a few feet away from the gate, watching in with his dark amber eyes to see if it would open to let more people in. So far, it had only let in a girl. A shy little thing that called herself Kat. She wasn't very interesting to Mason, so he hadn't continued conversation with her. Now, he was watching, waiting, hoping that there would be more girls than just that weird little Kat. Or, at least, more people. People that maybe he could relate to. His mind was already running a thousand miles a minute, trying to plan out his next few moves. He had always loved chess and the strategy that it involved, so he was treating this like a giant game of chess. Just a few moves, and maybe he could come out on top. Was there any way to win Eden? He couldn't remember, but he didn't think so. Finally, tired of standing, Mason dropped his backpack that had a few changes of clothes in it on the ground and sat down beside it. That was all they had gotten upon being thrown in here. A few changes of clothes, nothing else. What had he gotten himself into?
Kat was nervous, to say the least. She had arrived shortly after Mason and had been somewhat shocked and disappointed to see that she was only the second arrival. Now, she was sitting close to the fence, her legs drawn up to her chest with her chin resting on top of her knees while she watched the gate, waiting for more people to arrive. Hopefully they would be nice, friendly, provide a lovely array of different skills. She personally felt fairly useless. Kat didn't know much about surviving in the wilderness. Sure, she knew animals. She knew animal husbandry. She could cure a chicken's sickness or help a goat in labor, but building things... that was not what she could do. At the thought of being useless, she started to feel sick to her stomach.

Jamie wasn't the first to arrive, thank goodness. He would be a bit lost if he had been. Instead he was at least two other people, one male, one female. In his bag was packed a few of his clothes, a few scarves and some other items the others must have slipped in there before he had left his home. He took a moment to get used to his surroundings, the weather wasn't much different from his home town, making him wonder if he had really gone that far from there. The absence of mountains told him that they must have, that absence also made his stomach clench. That would take some getting used to as he had spent most of his life surrounded by a mountain region. He slipped his pack off his back a few seconds after getting a quick look, sitting himself on the ground to take a look on what the others had packed along. A sewing kit, a coloring book with crayons, a few extra pieces of clothes, and glasses that Jamie had forgotten to put in there were the more obvious ones.

((Of course, upsidedown! ^.^
Oh I think Athena is lovely, centuries. =3 You can start rping. Both are accepted!))
Mason glanced towards the gate as it creaked open and the new person came in. Another guy. Great. He sighed, but figured he should probably be cordial. Standing up, he swung his backpack on and started towards the other guy. As he drew closer, he tried a faint smile. "Hi. I'm Mason. And you are...?" He asked, holding out a hand to the other guy. Mason would do his best to be cordial and nice with everyone. Maybe get them to trust him, unlike anyone had trusted him before. What could he say? High school had been rough.
Coming up after Mason to also introduce herself, Kat offered an awkward smile. Her heart was pounding a million miles a minute and she started to feel more and more sick to her stomach. "Hi. I-I'm Kat." She stuttered out, silently scolding herself for her tripping of words. At least there was someone else here. And this guy seemed nice enough. Hopefully, he could add some more diversity. And maybe even become her friend, which she definitely wanted.

(I understand, getting from starter to actually rping to me is like a baby deer trying to learn to walk xD)
Jamie half jumped when he was approached by two people at once, giving a smile to the two of them once he got himself calmed down again, reaching his hand to shake Mason's-hoping that a handshake is what he was going for at the same time. "The name's Jamie, it's nice to meet you" He mentally patted himself on the back for the rather normal response to the two of them, had they asked for his name even just a year back he would have been a complete nervous wreck and his speech would be worse then Kat's. "Any idea on what is going to happen next?" One could say he was more or less forced into participating in the reality show, apparently Olimpia loved the idea of competing and signed them up, and here they were.

- Athena
Unlike the other people, Athena had actually wanted to be the first person to arrive. Entering brought the attention of the people already there to her, which she didn't like. She wanted to be invisible, and it would've been a lot easier to find a spot and hide from everyone if she had gotten there first. However, she wasn't that lucky, and when she stepped in, realized there were already three people there. Two guys, one girl. The girl looked rather shy, and preoccupied with one of the boys, so she didn't think either one of them would approach her as she went to find a secluded place to wait. The other male, however, she wasn't sure about. He already looked like trouble, and she found herself praying he wouldn't come talk to her. Allies would be nice, yes, but she wanted to choose her own, and speak to them about it when she decided to. If he approached her, she had less control, so of course, she would prefer he kept his distance. For now, at least. She'd like to observe him first, figure out whether he'd be useful to her or not. Which is what she started to do now. Observe.

- Kane
As he entered through the gate, Kane tried to be as silent as possible, to avoid drawing attention to himself. However, his heart was beating so furiously in his chest, he was sure everyone could hear it from a mile away. He was nervous, to put it lightly, and terrified of the events to come. Oh how he wished he wouldn't have allowed his friends to convince him to apply - or at least, he wished one of them was there. He'd feel much more confident if he had someone he knew with him. But, he didn't, so he was going to be shy and quiet. He noticed the last person to enter, a pretty girl who looked a bit younger than him, went to stand by herself, but didn't do the same. Instead, he started to walk slowly towards the group of three, hoping he would work up the courage to introduce himself. However, that didn't happen, and he ended up standing there awkwardly as he waited for someone to notice him.

((Haha. XD It looks good to me. O.o Or did you fix it.))
Mason was mildly irritated about Kat trailing after him while he introduced himself, but he decided to leave it be. The gate opened once again and a girl walked in. She made her way around them but didn't bother to introduce herself. Interesting. Mason would have to watch her but for now, he didn't want to go out of his way to introduce himself to her. First, he would get to know these people. Then deal with her. After Jamie had introduced himself, and after the girl had gone to sit by herself, another guy came in and made his way over. Mason went out of his way to hold his hand out to this new guy as well with a smile. "Hi," he said. "I'm Mason." Wow. Introducing himself was going to get old fast.
Kat offered a nervous smile to Jamie but otherwise didn't do much. She kept trying to calm herself down, to remind herself to breathe in and out. This really was probably the worst idea Kat had ever had. Why had she put in her application to be on this show, and why had they even chosen her? She never, in a million years, suspected that she would be chosen. She watched as another girl walked in and frowned when she didn't approach them. Oh well. Maybe she would come over later or Mason, with his social self, would introduce the group to her. But Kat didn't have to think about her long before another guy came in and Mason, once again, introduced himself. This time, she kept her head down, dark hair falling across her face and getting stuck on top of her glasses.

(You can do it, upside ) Jamie followed Mason's gaze first to the next girl who had entered-and promptly sat by herself-and then to the male who had joined their group and then around to Kat again who seemed like she would break apart at the seams "Do you need to sit down?" He questioned, hoping she wasn't going panic before the games technically got started "It's no big deal if you need to" He finished giving another smile to her. Yup, she defiantly reminded him of himself a year ago, the similarities actually made him a little freaked out.

((Oh I've thought about it, upside. XD Maybe eventually.))
Kat was surprised that Jamie even cared enough to ask. "Oh! Umm... yeah, I'm fine." She said with a little, nervous smile. "I'll be fine. Just... nervous is all." She said, struggling to find all of the words she needed to describe her current predicament. But that all sounded about right.
Mason cleared his throat loudly, hoping to get the attention of everyone. It would have been much more helpful if he'd had something to stand on, but being loud would have to work for him. "So, everyone," he said, looking from Jamie and Kat to the other boy and girl that had just come in. "I don't think anyone else is coming in today, so maybe we should get a move on and try to get some stuff together before night." This show should have at least given them provisions for a day or two.

Jamie was about to reply to Kat when Mason started his small speech "Good plan" He decided to just go along with whatever he was saying, at least then he wouldn't have to spend the first few nights alone. "Is anyone here at least somewhat knowledgeable about plants? I am sure it would be harder to hunt the first day when we don't have tools to do so" At the very least he was sure that they wouldn't allow any of them things that would make this too easy, right? That is what it seemed like, only use your skills to be able to survive in the wilderness.

- Athena
Having zoned out completely, Athena jumped when the boy spoke, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Good idea." Deciding to try and be civil, she stalked over to the group of people, beginning to tie her hair up as she waited for them to finish speaking. She seemed very interested in what everyone had to say, which she was. But not because she cared. Instead, she was just still trying to observe the people. So far only two of the males seemed useful at all - which was disappointing. The girl seemed completely useless, so she was already down to three people, and it hadn't even been five minutes. "I don't know anything about plants, so I won't be useful there." She was just going to be blunt about that. It wasn't like she felt the need to impress them, so there was no use lying and saying she did. "Also, I would like to know all of your names, if you don't mind." Despite saying this, she did not offer her own.
─────✧─────
- Kane
"Oh, I am!" Looking very excited, Kane raised his hand, as he was very eager to be useful. "I can tell what plants are edible or not, and some other stuff like which ones grow the best under certain conditions." This was a weird thing for him to know, since he hadn't gone into biology or anything to do with plants, but it was just something he had picked up on from somewhere. He was a scientist, he knew all sorts of weird things like that. This made him valuable...somewhat. "And, uh, I'm Kane." He added that part after the girl spoke, as she scared him a bit. She looked mean...in fact, everyone but Kat did to him. So, he inched towards the shy girl, as she seemed a little bit nicer than everyone else, from what Kane could see.

((I love everyone's opinions of each other. XD))
Kat gave a little awkward smile to Kane as he edged closer to her. Yes, she noticed. "I'm Kat." She introduced herself, her voice barely louder than a whisper as she spoke. "I, uh, I know plants, too. My family does a lot of... farming." As she continued to speak, her words fell into nothingness. Well, it was true. For as long as she could remember, she had spent her summers outside, caring for plants and animals.
"Perfect." Mason said with a wisp of a smile. "Then Kane and Kat, why don't you two go look for anything edible? Jamie, No Name Girl, and myself and try to find a source of water. And maybe some stuff for a fire." If no one else would go right out and start leading, Mason would just have to do it himself... although he probably would've fought someone if anyone else had tried to speak up against him. Mason liked being in control.
