Welcome to Survival of the Fittest, a RPing board loosely based off of Koshun Takami's Battle Royale, with its own unique plot and spin on the 'deadly game'. We've been around quite a while, and are now in our thirteenth year, so don't worry about us going anywhere any time soon!

If you're a newcomer and interested in joining, then please make sure you check out the rules. You may also want to read the FAQ, introduce yourself and stop by the chat to meet some of our members. If you're still not quite sure where to start, then we have a great New Member's Guide with a lot of useful information about getting going. Don't hesitate to PM a member of staff (they have purple usernames) if you have any questions about SOTF and how to get started!

Let the games begin!

[ * ]
Name: Dennis McDonald
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Grade: 12th
School: Southridge High School
Hobbies and Interests: Video games, computer programming, music(Playing, not so much listening)

Appearance: Paler white(Being mainly an indoorsman leaves him paler then some, but he’s not so pale it stands out.); 6’0; average weight; Dark blond hair, worn short/medium(Down to his eyebrows in the front, bottom of his ears in the back), quite messy; Blue eyes; Half-rimmed, rectangular glasses; Wears a fedora(You know Indiana Jones? Yeah, that one.); Always wears a tshirt and blue jeans no matter what the conditions, although he wears a coat if it’s cold. The outfit he brought with him is a black shirt depicting the player ship from Galaga, blue jeans, and an orange zip up hoodie.

Biography: Dennis has grown up around computers and is quite good with them. His father has had several jobs in IT(Internal Tech, servers and such) and has made a very large sum of money from it, enough to live quite comfortably(They’re not rich, though; they’re closer to the top of middle class). This money often helps fund Dennis’ primary hobby of video games; He’s a gamer through and through, and has done quite a bit of learning how to program to ensure he can get into a game programming class right out of high school. He plays his DS whenever idle at school, and the nickname “Nintendo Dennis” has begun to circulate around the people he knows.

From first grade to about junior high, he was a common target for bullies. However, he would almost always fight back, which is a trait that stayed with him to the present-he’s certainly not a doormat. He also tends to be very vocal about any problems he has with people, particularly authority figures.
Dennis is difficult to scare; he finds it very easy to stay calm. The operative word there is stay, however; If he’s angry, or depressed, it tends to be difficult for him to calm down. In anger or depression, he tends to fluctuate from one to the other often.
Dennis is quite a goody two shoes. He’ll go very far for his friends, and hasn’t called in any such deeds as favors.
On the flip side, he tends to have a short fuse concerning people who he carries a grudge with, and is prone to pick fights with such people. However, he has enough self control that he usually knows when to just shut up and sit down, and when someone has a weapon, well, that’s quite a good time to not start anything.

Dennis has chemical depression. While it was more prominent in his grade school years, and has died down some with age, it’s still there. They tend to manifest as fits of self-loathing, and tend to occur when Dennis is angry. They’ve even been so bad as to drive him to attempt suicide once. While the worst of these episodes seem to have passed, the conditions(stranded with a group of people who could be either a good friend and ally or a bloodthirsty psychopath at any random moment, all the while being narrated by some seriously sick people) certainly have potential to spin him into a deep depression.


Advantages: His loyalty may prove to be a valuable asset when trying to fit in with a group; His games do, on some level, serve as a form of escapism, which would relieve some stress in a quick fix kind of way; Dennis is clever. That’s always a good trait; He’d be very reluctant to kill, and any misunderstandings that could be prevented by that would probably be a good thing; While hesitant to kill, Dennis would have a much easier time simply fighting to defend himself.
Disadvantages: Misplaced loyalty could get him killed very quickly and very easily; His games serve as a form of escapism, and quick fix solutions for the mind are notorious for doing more damage over time; Dennis’ ideas are often clever, but less often practical. In addition, if he does anything particularly smart and gets praise for it, he could become a target of jealousy; He’s hesitant to kill, which can get him killed if anyone actually wants his blood; While hesitant to kill, Dennis would have a much easier time fighting to defend himself, so if there WAS a misunderstanding, chances are good everyone will be ready to kill him; That chemical depression thing? Yeah, suicide is not good for your health. Neither is generally being distracted by thoughts of “Boy do I suck”; Gamers are not wonderful athletes. Dennis will not last 5 seconds in a straight up chase. Nor will he do well in a dragged-on fight. Hell, he probably wouldn't do well in a quick fight.; Sarcasm drives alot of people crazy. Guess what Dennis does alot of. I'll give you a hint: It's NOT sarcasm. Not at ALL.;



I'm admittedly not very good at writing these, so if it sucks, tell me. I won't take offense. :D

BTW, I are new. Lo thar all. I know Badwolf, he gave me a link a while ago.
