Day 1
Transmission: "This is [the patchy signal has made this part of the message indecipherable], callsign 'Renji', of the 32nd Reconnaissance Battalion. Please, someone has to hear this. Someone has to help me. There was a battle. My commander ordered us to retreat, and we did. Smoke was everywhere...I could barely hear, the gunshots were so loud, and the screaming. I ran, as far away and as fast as I could, but when I finally stopped to look back, none of my fellow Americans were there. There were only two things to see; enemy patrols, and the wasteland of the middle east. I was surrounded by enemies, human and nature alike. My only hope was to try to evade the enemy soldiers or at least kill them stealthily, and find someone that can help me. It was the only way to survive...[transmission is cut off]"

You record your transmission, hoping against hope that you will be found. Already, you feel the heat of the midday sun upon you, and sweat soaks through your clothes. They offer no protection against the burning rays of the sun. You see one enemy patrol in the distance. There are maybe three or four of them, you can't be sure. But one thing you can be sure of, is that your best hope is to stay away. You can see the cold glint of automatic weapons in their hands. The good news is, they're so far away you probably won't have to worry about them. The only cover anywhere near you is dry brush. What will you do?

A) Try to find water
B) Try to find food
C) Try to find shelter
D) Make your own option

To answer your question, you're wearing normal clothes. I dunno, a t-shirt and hoodie sweater, jeans, sneakers.

Day 1
Transmission: Please, someone's got to help me. Please! My name is[shoddy transmission quality has made this part of the transmission indecipherable], but just call me Lime. I'm not sure what's happening to me. All I know is, yesterday I took a wrong turn on the road to this camping trip I was going to. After I realized I was lost, I saw some kind of pricey sports car, and I honked at them. The driver flipped me off. When I saw him, he just looked...shady. But I ignored it and went to my stupid camping trip. When I next woke up, I wasn't at my campsite...I was in the trunk of a car. Next thing I knew, the driver of the car opened the trunk. He said 'I know you know. But this has to look like an accident...so we're sending you somewhere nice. You'll never tell a soul.' and then he started laughing. I had apparently gotten mixed up in something by accident. He and his goons jabbed me with a needle then stuffed me into a crate, and I heard the chopping of helicopter rotors. Next thing I knew, I was waking up in the middle of some snowy wilderness. A note on the crate I had been in said 'Welcome to the Arctic Circle, chump.' I could see no one and nothing but snow. Snow snow snow, everywhere I turned. All I had was a few of the things I had in my pockets for the camping trip. I was helplessly lost in the middle of some frozen wilderness. I had to find civilization. I had to keep warm. I had to survive.

You can think of nothing at the moment but finding shelter, getting out the snow storming down on your head, and the wind whistling through your ears. Already, your toes are numb, and as your body heat melts the snow that's landed on you, you are soaked as well. Getting out of this storm is imperative...but how?

A) Dig a hole in the snow and huddle there.
B) Explore, looking for caves or some natural formation you can take cover in.
C) Try to build a snow fort.
D) Make your own option.

Day 1
Transmission: "It was so hot...the sun seemed to melt the skin off my bones, and the soil radiated heat like an explosion. By the end of the day, I was soaked in my own sweat. Ironically, it was worthless, as it would be salty and would actually dehydrate me even further. The weight from my equipment felt like I was carrying a wheelbarrow full of bricks, and each step took an effort. I forced myself to keep going, telling myself that the next step would take me to a lake full of cool water. But I found no secret lake. By the end of the day, I was ready to throw in the towel and just lay down, when my search was finally rewarded. Not by water...but by some mysterious shelter. There was some kind of half-collapsed burrow in the ground. It seemed abandoned, and would be perfect for a shelter. It would be a squeeze for me to fit in it, but there was the constant danger that I was wrong...that it was still inhabited. I was torn. What could I do..."[transmission is cut off].
You search for water, but it's helpless. The heat is making every step on the baked dirt feel like miles. Moreover, you have not found a single drop of water. But you have found something....some kind of burrow in the ground. It seems abandoned, but you can't be sure. You would be able to fit, and it would shade you from the sun, but you aren't sure what lurks within or if you won't make it collapse by entering. Night is falling. What will you do?

A) Explore the burrow.
B) Leave the burrow, and continue exploring.
C) Leave the burrow, but stay there to rest for a while.
D) Make your own option.

Oh, another thing? Please c/p your character sheet when you post. That way, it'll be easier for me to access and stuff.

Day 1
Transmission: "I had to do something...I used my knife to pry a few boards loose from the crates that, up until a few moments ago, had housed yours truly. Then, I continued exploring, having to fight the wind with every step. I could see nothing but the snow swirling around me. I could hear nothing but the wind screaming in my ears. And more importantly, I saw nothing that could protect me from any of it. I had to do something else..."[transmission is cut off].
You find nothing, and are exhausted. The snowstorm is only growing in velocity, and you fight to stay standing. You aren't even sure you weren't traveling in circles. What will you do?

A) Keep exploring
B) Try to dig a little hole in the snow.
C) Build something out of snow and your boards.
D) Make your own option

Day 1
Transmission: "I had to rest...I couldn't continue any longer without stopping to take a breath. But the cloak of night had enveloped the land, and soon, with the heat of the sun finally off my back and nothing but the luminous glow of the moon and stars to guide me, I forced myself to stand and continue my forced march. It was difficult. The moon was just a small splinter in an onyx sky, and I could hardly see. However, there was an advantage to night travel, as well; I was no longer bombarded with heat, and ironically found myself shivering as I continued my desperate search for water. My parched throat needed something to drink, and I could find nothing but sand. Suddenly, I heard a rustling in the dry bushes somewhere nearby me. I froze..."[transmission is cut off]

You rest for a while, then continue on your way. Soon, you are cold without the sun melting your skin, but force yourself to continue. You are now thirsty and must find water soon, before your condition deteriorates. But suddenly, you hear a rustling in dry brush near you. What will you do?

A) Run away.
B) Investigate the noise.
C) Shout "Who's there?!"
D) Make your own option

Day 1
Transmission: "The cold was unbearable, and so far my search for some kind of natural shelter was doing nothing for me. While the storm continued to increase in speed, and the icy cold snow fell upon me, I decided to try and construct a makeshift shelter with what little I had; snow, and the boards I had pryed off of my crate. I put up the boards in a wobbly sort of frame, jamming them firmly into the ground, then I packed as much snow as I could into the gaps. Soon, I had a shelter. Was it small? Yes. Was it weak? Yes. But as the storm continued and snow piled on, I huddled inside my little wood-and-snow igloo, my body heat keeping me warm. Well, not warm, but the igloo offered me at least shelter enough so that I did not freeze in the storm. And as the snowstorm continued, the fort only grew stronger, snow piling onto it. I constantly had to kick snow away from my entrance so that I wouldn't be sealed in. Finally, after hours of relentless power, the snowstorm just suddenly stopped. I exited my small shelter and smiled. I had survived for now..."[transmission is cut off]
You decide to build something out of the snow and the boards. You successfully make a little snow igloo, and take shelter in it until the storm passes. What will you do now?

A) Explore some more
B) Stay by the igloo for now and try to improve it, just in case the storm kicks up again
C) Drink some water
D) Make your own option

Day 1
B) Stay by the igloo and try to improve it.
Transmission: "I wasn't sure of anything anymore. Would the storm return in full force soon? I didn't know. Would I ever escape? I didn't know. Would I survive? Well, that is one thing I did know; that I would certainly do my best for it. I had to survive. But being that I knew so very little, I decided to fortify what was basically the only thing I had; my tiny little igloo shelter. Using my body heat, I melted some of the nearby snow into water and cupped it in my hands, dumping it on the igloo. Almost immediately, the water froze into a hard, slick casing of ice. It wasn't much, but it was better than just snow. Then, I began to enlarge the space in the igloo. I knew that the more space there was in the igloo, the colder it would be, but I also knew that I couldn't use such a small space for anything but huddling in, and even that was uncomfortable. The idea was to get the perfect balance: enough space so that I can store some stuff in there, and be comfortable, but small enough so that I can still be cozy warm. Since I couldn't really expand the igloo itself being that I had used all of my wooden boards to make the current structure, I decided to expand underground. Without a shovel to dig with, my fingers were soon raw, red, and numb from the cold. But the snow itself was soft and easy to dig into, and soon I had a sizable space to lay down in, as well as some pockets to store any of my smaller stuff. But now, I was both thirsty and tired. It was impossible to tell what time it was by the sky, being that it was constantly night at the moment, but my internal clock was telling me that it was time to go to sleep, and I tended to agree with it. However, it might also be a good idea to get some food(as my stomach was growling as well. I hadn't eaten all day) or drink some water.My survival was not so iminent now, but it was still important that I keep food and water at hand at all times. I would never know when I would be stuck in my igloo thanks to a storm, or for how long..." [transmission is cut off].

You finish improving your shelter, but now you're tired, hungry, and thirsty. What will you do?

A) Look for food.
B) Take a drink then go to sleep.
C) Go to sleep.

Day 1
B) Investigate the noise.
Transmission: "I decided, against my better judgement, to indulge my curiosity and go investigate the noise. Upon parting the dry brush, I found nothing but a little insect. Breathing a sigh of relief, I turned to exit the bush. When I took my first step, I suddenly felt soomething give underfoot and before I knew what was happening, I had fallen into some underground cavern. Coughing from all the dust that had been expelled from my fall, I examined my surroundings, or at least tried to. My visibility was zilch. No light was being produced wherever I was, and I could not see the Renjin-shaped hole that I would have left behind. Judged from the catacomb-like structure above me, I assumed that I had fallen through that little insect's lair. The insect had burrowed its home underground, making the soil unstable. When I had put my heavy human weight on it, the soil had given way, sending me crashing down into some subterranean aquifer, judging by the mud squishing underfoot. Suddenly, I realized what this meant. Water! I had found water, the water I so desperately needed. Sure, it would be hard to get, and filthy, but water was water and it worked for me...[transmission is cut off].
You go investigate. You see that the source of the noise is just a bug, and turn around to go back when you crash through the ground into a hidden aquifer. What will you do now?

A) Try to collect water.
B) Explore underground.
C) Try to get back up to ground level.
D) Make your own option.

@Renjin: Your condition is still thirsty, however I am no longer using quotes as it makes the whole char sheet look bad. I am using links. Sometimes they will be to random sites, other times they will be to explain what you've just found. Links in condition mean thirsty, taking the place of the quotes, but you should click them. If you're not hungry/thirsty and I need to give you information, I'll put it down here.
