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!

Herman Johnson; The Game Nerd

Name: Herman Johnson
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Grade: 12th grade
School: Southridge High School
Hobbies and Interests: FPS games, survival horror games, media tropes, trying to convince people he knows what he's doing.

Appearance: An average looking young man if to be civil, and a complete Plain John if to be cruel. Herman is not a handsome boy, he never was and probably never will. Herman is cursed with short, almost always tangled and knotted hair that never listens to him or a comb. Mixed with a rather sickly skin pallor and a wiry, slightly undernourished body frame, this kid could hardly be considered eighteen and a senior in high school. Luckily, Herman has been spared the constant nerd visual cue, as he at least has good eyesight going for him.

Herman generally dresses as casual as he can, mostly to avert the most constant heckling that heavy video game fans and general nerds get, as such he's most normally dressed in a generic, blank tee-shirt, generic baseball cap and generic jeans, since he lacks the actual capital to afford the trendy stuff, he's been required to survive on "Walmart specials."

Biography: You really want to know about this guy? Well Ok. But, it's going to be boring.

Herman is the second of three children born to a lower middle class family who live in Jersy City, his childhood, being one of normalcy isn't much to speak off, but to make a point of his family life, being the middle child means he's always the one who gets the least attention, his older sister, a straight A student, who was also president of the student counsel at Southridge for all three years of their highschool life, which was five years before Herman, meant he had a lot to live up to, and he was never as cute or nice as his younger brother who's also six years younger then him. In fact, if anything, Herman was generally the target of all the punishments in his family. Since his sister was more "dependable then him," and his baby brother was too "young to cause problems" it was normally him who got grounded and denied his allowance.

To escape his dreary life in reality, Herman turned to video games, more often then not the heavily action oriented ones, like First person shooters and survival horror games, which allows escapism of a level were Herman could vent all his pent up frustrations and anger at both his parents and siblings on pixilated people. His school life is just as unremarkable as his home life, and he generally kept to himself during it, occasionally sparking a small friendship with other game nuts. Largely Herman was a lonely kid though. His grades were all right, but never high enough to make his parents or teachers proud, though they continued to tell him that he was gifted and could do better. But, all he did was try and survive till he turned 18, then try and get the hell away from home.

Advantages: Due to his almost constant immersion in various horrifically violent video games, Herman considers himself completely desensitized to death, dismemberment, gory violence and killing. He also fancies himself an expert in survival in situations that are both violent, and sufficiently scary such as the "Survival of the Fittest" competition. The one thing he's actually absolutely sure he knows what to do is being silent, he can generally sneak up on anyone who doesn't already know he's there.

Disadvantages: Most of the above advantages are of course, complete lies. Herman is just as scared, out of place, and unskilled as just about everyone else in the class when it comes to killing and fighting. More so in fact, since all his "training" comes from video games that gave him absolutely no handy skills whatsoever aside from extreme paranoia while under stress.
