| 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! |

Hi there, everybody! As a relatively experienced RPer, but a newbie to this RP, I read through the rules and everything and looked through some of the threads and, quite frankly, I love the concept and I WANNA BE THE GUY! ... Ahem. So, yeah, I would really like to get involved, and in the hope that I can, here's the one character I devised (I figure it'd be best to only go through this round with one to get used to it, as I hope to continue). If you've stopped taking applications or something, don't worry about it, but, without further ado, here's DORIAN SANDERS! *lights flash* Name: Dorian Sanders Gender: Male Age: 18 Grade: Senior [12th] School: Southridge High School. Hobbies and Interests: Film, video games, television, acting, School Newspaper. Appearance: Dorian is a pale white, auburn-haired boy of 18, exhibiting his Irish and English ancestry. His face has sharp features – a nose that slightly angles off to the left side, constantly-squinting blue eyes (not that his eyesight’s bad), thin pale lips, a slightly-rounded chin. His hair is thick and relatively long, constantly needing to be pushed away from his eyes, and he has a constant layer of thin dark brown stubble on his face. He stands at five foot five and weighs in at 130 pounds, and most of that is skin and bone, lacking serious physical strength. His weedy build, however, means that he is relatively agile. He has a slight slouch that he cannot seem to shake, and brief muscle spasms in his right arm are commonplace in moments of pressure. He often wears nondescript t-shirts, thick and warm fleeces, dark pants and sneakers. Biography: Dorian’s life has been a bit of a mish-mash. Having originally lived in a small town in Maine, Dorian was restless, uncouth and often foul-mouthed as a young kid, yet academically leagues ahead of those in his small school, forcing his parents to send him to a boarding school for three years. Having pulled himself through the emotional and physical distress the school caused him, Dorian emerged as a somewhat-extroverted, eccentric, regularly upbeat English and Drama whiz. That’s not to say the boarding school had no effect on him – to this day, he finds it hard to trust people, lacks generally-acceptable social skills, and is prone to intense anger when attacked verbally or physically. After his father, a mildly-successful playwright and theatre director, received a steady job in Highland Beach as the artistic director for a small professional theatre there, the Sanders family – Dorian, his father, his mother (a preschool teacher), and their cat, Stoppard – moved out there to a small house on the outskirts of town. Dorian began attending Southridge High School and found himself flitting between several cliques, never committing himself to one until sophomore year, finding himself hanging out regularly with a group of drama students. He acted regularly in Drama productions, often in supporting roles, and was quietly praised for these. Grades-wise, Dorian found middling success in science and maths, but was one of the highest achievers in the school at English. In extra-curricular activities other than Drama, Dorian remained an under-the-radar writer for the school newspaper, simply reporting on happenings around the school, and he became a member of the Debate Club for two weeks before screaming at a teammate in one debate and leaving; in sports, Dorian was never a high achiever, only showing any real proficiency at hockey, which he found annoying and dangerous. However, he found niches in long-distance running and tramping, his lack of physical strength providing no hindrance, and his stamina and endurance working in his favour, in these sports. He was also highly proficient at games of dodgeball due to his small size and sharp, if not lightning fast, reflexes. Dorian slowly developed into someone who ignored the bigger picture and focused on smaller issues in his life that he regretted – he found himself preoccupied by minor mistakes he’d made in his life and would zone out for periods of time contemplating what he did wrong. He found refuge in film, video games and theatre, though he refused to join the Film Club due to suspicions of insularity and a penchant for the disturbing (suspicions based on unfounded rumours; his refusal to join is more likely because of a screaming match he got in with one of the more prominent members in the yard one lunchtime). His eccentricities range from random one-liners in the middle of conversation and slightly off-kilter facial expressions to full-on yelled monologues about nothing, a feature that has become more endearing than annoying to those that know him. He also tends to miss the obvious in favour of the more convoluted or challenging, which often works to his disadvantage academically and socially. Advantages: Dorian is small and has good reflexes, meaning he could probably dodge attacks of medium speed and sneak about without too many people noticing. His stamina and endurance lead to him not needing as much sleep as and being more tenacious than others. His background from boarding school has led him to think twice before trusting anyone unequivocally, even more of an advantage in SOTF. And his abilities as a good actor could come in handy in terms of misleading competitors. Disadvantages: Lacking physical strength and decent fitness combined with the occasional muscle spasm, Dorian is a sitting duck for anyone faster or stronger than him in an open or cornered area, and is inadequate with any heavy weapon, including large guns. Also, his eccentricities could draw attention to him and anyone around him, his unfortunate tendency to have irrational rage attacks could lead to his judgement being blinded, and his inability to see the big picture or the obvious could lead to him easily misreading situations. If there's anything I need to change, let me know. I look forward to slaughtering! |
