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: Arthur Williams
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Grade: 12th
School: Southridge High
Hobbies and Interests: Nobody's really paid enough attention to the young man to find out. All he seems to do is sit in a corner of the library or hallway, reading.

Appearance: Arthur is two years younger than the majority of his class, but you wouldn't know it from his appearance. Six-foot-one and 145 pounds, Williams is tall, and fairly thin. This is accentuated and contrasted by the large, baggy clothes Arthur hides inside of, making him seem downright gaunt. His shaggy, uncombed brown hair falls around his head, and, when his head is down (almost always), covers his eyes.

Artist's hands stuffed in large pockets, a nihilistic countenance covering his form. The day that the bus left on the senior trip, he had been wearing an XL dark blue T-shirt, and 32-32 carpenter pants that covered the top of his gray, Size-11 sneakers. Thus, that is what he wears on the island, though the Bird of Prey 'round his neck has been added since then.

Biography: Arthur is an outcast, always has been. But, rather than just another student, the Williams boy had a gift. He had a strong penchant for learning new things, and had quickly mastered all that was taught to him. Thus, Williams skipped both the third and the fifth grade, and entered middle school with students a foot taller than he was.

As the intelligent runt, it was almost Arthur's duty to be picked on, and pick on him they did. Even in high school, where he grew, and his voice dropped, almost overnight, he was still the outcast, and he accepted his role. His parents refused to pull him out and home school him for some misguided reason of their own, and by the time senior year rolled around, Arthur Williams had gone from an outgoing, helpful boy to a shy, bitter, and cynical young man.

Not even the revival of SotF had awakened much of Arthur's empathy. Though it has begun to sink in that he will probably never return from the island, the teen feels no fear of death. Williams has scavenged what he could, avoided the dangerzones, and stayed out of the way of others, body's survival instinct still pushing him forward.

Advantages: Williams has spent his life reading books, both fiction and non-fiction, and is extremely knowledgeable in many areas, as well as a fast learner. His long limbs give him a slight reach advantage as well, supplementing his very basic knowledge of Jeet Kun Do, taken from a book, of course.

Disadvantages: Arthur has spent his life avoiding contact with others, and changing those habits, especially now, will be difficult at best. His survival chances are only lowered by his inability to kill. The violence does not sicken him, Williams has become desensitized to that through his own experiences. It is just not in Arthur's nature to take a life. Not even his own.
Homo homini lupus.
