Survival of the Fittest: Difference between revisions

[[File:Alignment_1384.png|frame|The game takes all kinds]]

 

 

 

The premise is simple: a class of [[Ordinary High School Student|high-school students]] are abducted on the way to their end-of-year trip, fitted with [[Explosive Leash|collars]], given randomly distributed weapons and are dropped onto [[Deserted Island|an unknown island]] to fight their former peers until [[There Can Only Be One|one remains alive]]. What ensues is [[Better Than It Sounds|drama, action, comedy, and most important, tragedy]] all rolled into a single RP. Gradually, over each "season", more and more secrets are revealed behind [[Big Bad|Danya]] and the terrorist organization which has managed to keep this twisted act running for over three years.

The roleplay is geared primarily towards intermediate-advanced level writers. SOTF ''is'' open for anyone to join - although there is a member approval process in place, as well as a rigorous character acceptance system.

 

 

 

 

For reference, those RPing characters are called 'handlers' on the board, so if you see SotF examples using the word, this is what is meant by it.

If you [[I Thought It Meant|thought this page was about]] the slogan used to summarise the theory of evolution and later appropriated by people who consider themselves fit, you're looking for [[The Social Darwinist]].

 

== General ==

* [[Abandoned Hospital]]: Every island used in the four seasons have had an abandoned clinic, usually small buildings. The location name on the forum is usually some variation of "[[Abandoned Hospital]]".

* [[Break the Cutie]]/[[Break the Haughty|Haughty]]: This happens ''a lot...'' Though given the nature of the story and the game, is that really so surprising?

* [[Bulletproof Vest]]: Subverted for the most part - in SOTF, these tend to be treated very realistically. However, this is also played straight in the case of Shannon McLocke, who takes a close range shotgun blast to the chest and gets up with barely a scratch.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Mitch Gunther, Anna Kateridge, Cisco Vasquez, Lily Ainsworth, Maria Graham, and Annaliese Hanson are definitely this:

** Mitch:

* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]: Reiko Ishida is 4'9, which has been noted to technically make her a midget. However, she was an athlete before the island, and eventually racks up a high kill count.

* [[Please Wake Up]]: This is {{spoiler|Albert Lions'}} reaction to finding {{spoiler|1=Augustus "Dougal" MacDougal's}} corpse.

* [[Pointless Band-Aid]]: Orn "Dutchy" Ayers is mentioned as wearing a Band-Aid over the bridge of his nose. [[Word of God|His profile confirms]] that this is more of a personality quirk/casual accessory than the result of an injury.

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Bridget Connolly, who is well-known for having knee-length red hair, though usually tied back. This was until she cut it while on the island, after hearing about {{spoiler|the death of her best friend, Raina Morales.}}

* [[Love Martyr]]: Zachariah Johnston.

* [[Mad Artist]]: ''The Program's'' Madeline Harris, who is killing people to fill the gallery in her mind. She is very [[Serial Killer|prolific]].

* [[Man in a Kilt]]: Benny Lightfield from ''Virtua''. Definitely not of the fanservice flavor, though.

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Odile Jones from ''SOTF-TV'' takes the cake.
