You're on the luxury cruiser, the Gigantic,. You're enjoying the sea breeze when suddenly, it becomes instantly dark as storm clouds cover the part of ocean you're on. You're confused and the lively music and the busy chatter of other journey-people suddenly stop. You see, and then hear, lightning and thunder up ahead. The music starts up again, although slowly. The peoples chatter follow... You feel uneasy so you start heading back to your cabin... GRRRRRKKKKKKHHH.... You hear the ships structure groaning? You don't understand and now everybodies stopped... You feel really uncomfortable, but you wait outside to see what happens. Lightning suddenly hits the deck of the ship! Everybodies thrown off their feet! You thud down onto the floor, your vision-you can't see anything apart from a blinding white light! You can't feel or hear anything except the ringing of the thunder... You get up and slowly your vision and hearing come back. People are screaming and there are five people on the floor, not getting up. You try to keep calm and you feel the tilt of the ship changing. You keep your legs wide as you try to balance.
"Everybody into the life boats! Quickly! We think we're sinking!"
Everybodies scrambling for the lifeboats but you stay back, too shocked and weak to do anything.

Skye, don't worry. Let's just keep your character in hibernation. When you come out, we'll probably have escaped the island. I haven't had you on an RPG unless its a good one (you're on Dystopia aren't you?).

@Mav, yeah, I'm that psychic.
@P.Papi, sorry I was just trying to get a bit more variety into characters.

Time
You talk with Roger about the need for fire and he accepts. He points over to some sticks which some men had gathered beforehand. There's not much, but it's a starting point. You stack them down, making a base. You, now, however, need some more wood to make it bigger and more important-this could serve as a beacon.
A) Only go just into the jungle (low quality wood, lots of wood, very low danger)
B) Go a bit deeper (medium quality, low amount of wood, low danger)
C) Bit more (medium quality, medium amount, <50% chance of danger)
D) Delve real far (high quality, lots of it, 50%chance of danger)

Mav
You tell Roger that you're gonna go do some map-making but he holds you back.
"Look here. We don't know this island. We don't know what's in it. Have you ever seen LOST? I'm getting them kinda goosebumps right now... Stay close, don't go too far. I say just scout about and note down any good positions for food, wood, or anything else. Okay?"
You reluctantly agree. You first head northwest, from the camp, accepting that you're at the south of the island. You find a nice grouping of banana trees, but also sight something moving in the trees. Heading North, you see little food, but quite a bit of wood. Heading Northeast, you see very little at all but start getting the goosebumps...
From the glimpse of what you, and others have seen, you've come up with this:
http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/9844/mapg.th.png

F=Food
?=Unknown
Wo=Wood
[Yeah, revel in my Paint skills]

A) Harvest wood from the north
B) Harvest food from the NW
C) Explore the NE more

Papi
You slowly creep into the wreckage that remains. You hear water dripping and groaning of metal. You pick up some pretty large metal sheets and drop them off near the entrance to be picked up later. You find little food, including a few snacks, fruits and nuts, which you pack into your bag (+Snacks) You come to the great hall. you hear slight sobbing and crying coming from the other side. You bang on the broken door.
"HEEYYYY! Is anyone there? I'm part of the surviving group! Helloooo?"
"*Sniff* Hello? If there actually someone there? Or am I hallucinating..."
"No, seriously! I can get you out of there! We're on an island right now. We're trying to build shelter and get food and get some help if we can."
You push with all your might against the door and it collapses onto the floor. You see three people there, who introduce themselves as Zahra, George and Phillip. Phillip shows you a satellite radio. You're extremely excited about it and you lead them back out. Roger congratulates you on your work and he introduces the newcomers to the group. He sends Roderick to the wreckage to look for more survivors in the wreckage. You show Roger the sat. phone. There are batteries but the phone just won't work. You put it away (+Broken Sat. Phone)
A) Help scavenge more
B) Explore the woods
C) Make shelter
D) Prepare food for the night

Skye
You help make about three make-shift tents that should last the night. You're heading onto doing your fourth when you feel a sting on your neck. A huge dragonfly has bitten you (I don't care if dragonflies can't bite people) You feel hazy and you drop on the floor-your last sight being Catherine swatting the fly dead. You've entered hibernation mode for two weeks

@Church51, errr Island Survival RPG? It's not based on anything :S Except Lost and the Titanic *duh*

@dudeguy45, I'm contemplating wether to remove jezz or not.

@PrivatePapi,

@Mav, who got angry at my RPG updating-I'm not on here 24/7 and as you can see, this takes time.

@C_is_for_Cookie, Thanks Do you mean this type of RPG, RPGs, or my RPGs in general?

Everyone
Day: 1
Time: 8:00p.m.
Condition: Sun is setting, cool weather, little clouds
Rescue: 5%

Mav

You find a nice little staff. A bit long for your liking but still fine. You try to sharpen it with the end of the pen but the pen snaps from the pressure... -Pen +very short pen It's half sharp but anyway you head back to the camp-fire and try to harden it. It works well and you've got quite a nice sharp end for your staff. Makeshift spear Hunger: Slightly hungry, Status: Tired
A) Hunt for animals
B) Hunt fish
C) Sleep-it's getting to night...
D) Kill everyone on a not-so-drunken rampage
E) Other

Time
You find lots of wood, but most of its wet and soggy. This makes it harder to burn but you return with the best of what you've got. You add on to the campfire. The fire lights up and becomes substantially bigger. You feel satisfied and pleased at your achievement and Catherine congratulates you on your work. Hunger: Hungry Status: Exhausted
A) Get food ready
B) Go to sleep after having a light meal
C) Add some more to the fire
D) Exercise
E) Other
Papi
You leave the new survivors and head over to the sort of kitchen that Georgina has set up. You ask if you can help and she gives you a small sharp rock. She asks you to chop up the bananas and mangos (yes it is a tropical) in preparation for the salad(s). You finish up early, so you help with the only bit of meat the survivors have got. Hunger: Slightly hungry Status: Tired
A) Call everyone together to eat
B) Eat a bit, and then go to sleep
C) Look for prey in the jungles (for meat)
D) Sleep straight away and eat in the morning.
E) Other

[b]Survivors

Roger: The captain of the ship. Extremely helpful and kind, he's become sort of the leader of the survivors.
Skye: A cool-headed girl, looks about in her late teens. She's calm and focused and is eager to help other people.
Mav: Half-crazy, half-genius, Mav will do the calculations and map taking/making for any expedition.
Papi: 14 years old, he'll help where he can but he can sometimes be quite harsh if he's attacked or provoked.
Time: A mysterious young man, he has quite some muscles and will do the lifting and more labourous work for the benefit of the group.
Georgina: The pregnant woman, she looks as if she'll give birth at any second now and she's, to be honest, more of a nuisance than a help.
Catherine: A young woman, she's kind but sort of blonde. As in dumb blonde.
Aman: An Indian man. He seems harsh but he's very kind and helpful at heart.
Roderick: He cares for nothing but his own safety- no one seems to like helping him apart from himself.
Ethan: A mysterious man, in a rich luxurious suit, who seems to be more worried about his money rather than anything else.
Zahra: Seeming to come from Asia, she's shy but energetic and gets the work done.
George: An extrmely athletic middle-aged man, he can do labour work without breaking a sweat.
Phillip: Smart and extremely intellectual, he knows how to get out of tight spots and can lead the group around, estimating distance time and other things very well.

@Jezz,
If it's only a week then I guess thats okay. If you're not going 'til Sunday, then I'll post a scenario for you too.

@Everyone,
Sorry I won't update now-I'm going out.
