Planet Minecraft

[RipClaw]

Welcome to Deep Earth,
a mining setup many miles below the surface of the Earth.

The RP thread for anyone who's accepted!

The year is 2412. Mineral resources have long been used up near the surface, and a large mining base was set up deep below the ground. Hundreds of workers, families, and leaders were sent down with a quest for finding minerals. The main elevator shaft, with over thirty actual elevators, has been destroyed. Some say it was a mistake, others say it was sabotage. The mining outpost has no way to contact the surface, no way to unblock it. There is enough food to last for years, same with water.

Many cave systems run off from the base. Most are dark, but some are lit. Some people are lost in the caves, but many are in the Outpost. The Outpost is a very large building, which looks much like one on the surface. It's built into the walls of a massive, open cave. There are cafeterias, gyms, and even some pools. Everything to make living worthwhile down there. The upper floors are arranged like a hotel. Outside of the Outpost are many drilling tanks.

The walls of the caves are all reddish-brown stone. It's cold down there, an average of 45-55 degrees Fahrenheit. People have adjusted to a 4 hour day, 4 hour night sleep cycle due to lack of sun. Most people have pale skin from not being exposed to the sun in so long. The shaft collapsed two months before this RP takes place.

Pickaxes are standard. Steel, curved head on a wooden or fiberglass handle.
Tanks are large, treaded mole-like machines with a large drillbit on the end, for making large tunnels.
Drills are heavy, yet semi-handheld contraptions. They're a box with two handles, and a drill on the front. Held at the chest by strong miners, and pushed into stone.

Food is supplied by farming both crops and animals. There is also a lot of regular food, from the surface (canned food, fresh food, even small delicacies like chocolate and gum). Since there is absolutely no sunlight down under, the crops need artificial sun to grow. Water is supplied by freshwater rivers underground.

Electricity is supplied from several sources. Mainly, coal and oil. It is burned to produce a large amount of electricity, especially since it's all over. Also, thanks to underground rivers, they use dams to generate more.


The rules are basic, here's a copypaste from my Zombie RP.

Rules
-No being overpowered. This means all of the following:
--Being better than another person in any way that isn't fair.
--No more magic. This is modeled after REAL life.
--No superhuman strength.
-No ridiculous actions ("Then the mines all collapse and you all die")
-Stay in character, otherwise put it in a spoiler or ((In double parenthesis))
-Follow the regular forum rules as well!
-Use correct grammar and spelling, for all of our sakes. (No "u r ded na0")
-Please, try and keep the RP fun.
-Don't roleplay as other people. ("And then I shoot a bullet, and Rip dodges. He says "HAH!" and then I go back... etc.)
-Also, no killing other people.
-Read what's going on before you post, so you know where everyone is, and what everyone is doing. If you can't, ask for a quick update.
-And finally: Be as realistic as possible! This sums up several of the rules!
If you abuse any rules too much, I'll disallow you from playing the RP.

Refrain from being a leader. We don't want 20 leaders.
Leaders are the people who give orders. They give permission for people to go into the branches, and do a LOT of paperwork. They have their own offices inside the Outpost. They have permission to go anywhere, but they don't know anything about the tanks or other tools. (When it comes to driving the tanks, anyway.)

Farmers, obviously, work with the plants and livestock which thrive in the cave system. They spend a lot of time in the crops and with the animals, it's hard work.

Miner
Name: Pit Nickle
Age: 30
Appearance: Hefty man with a goatee. He has brown hair, and tan skin, despite not being exposed to sun for so long. We wears a black leather coat to keep from getting a chill in the cold caverns.He also wears overalls underneath, and has black boots. His eyes give the impersonation that he's laid-back, which is true. His eyes are black.
Biography: He used to work for a construction company. When he first heard about the Outpost project, he was among the first to sign up. He and his family lived down there for a while, but when the shaft collapsed, his family panicked. His only son was killed while trespassing in a branch without permission, and his wife made it to the surface the day before it collapsed. He hasn't talked to her since it happened, and worries about her every night. That is, if there were day and night down in this God-forsaken hole. He now works his hardest, listening to orders and doing good work.
Favorite tool: He usually uses a drill, but often drives the tanks.
Feelings: Laid-back, and usually care-free. He works hard and follows orders without being bitter. He's very hard to anger or upset.

This sounds... awesome! Honestly, I can't say I've seen this idea anywhere before, but emphasis on the "I".

Miner~
Name: Tyler Shawhen (It's pronounced, "Shaw-en")
Age: Tyler is nineteen.
Appearance:

Spoiler

Yes, he wears a sweater with a pair of wings painted on the back of it. Yes, I just used that as my picture.

Biography: Tyler never paid attention to anything going on in the world, so he relied on his friend, a guy named Jason, to inform him of anything important that could affect him. Tyler had already worked as a miner before, though it wasn't very long (a day) of an employment. He was, too, jobless at the time. Tyler had leaped to the opportunity and gotten a job as a miner in the outpost down below. He had worked normally for the while before the main elevator had been destroyed. He wasn't doing anything important during the time, just lounging around in the Outpost. Which, was good, as the tunnel where he had been assigned to work in had collapsed, killing the nine other men working currently.

Jason had come along with Tyler; they were assigned at the same station. Jason hadn't ditched work; he died in the collapsed tunnel. Tyler hadn't learned about this, as like with all news, for a long while, and it wasn't until late at night, when he normally would've returned from his last shift, had Tyler became eerie about the mining tunnel. He took a flashlight, and headed into the tunnels. He knew the tunnels well enough not to get lost, at least in the parts he actually knew, which wasn't very much. When he finally reached where his tunnel should have been, all he found was a gigantic pile of rubble blocking the way. A hand was coming out of the rubble. Out of curiousity, Tyler grabbed the hand and pulled whatever it was attached to out. To his surprise, after pulling out the hand with some difficulty, the hand belonged to Jason, or specifically his cold, dead, corpse.

To this day, Tyler usually spends about all his free time (AKA when he's not mining), drawing, writing, and generally doing things away and without other people.
Favorite tool: Tyler likes pickaxes. They're pointy.
Feelings: Tyler is a short-tempered, quick-to-action, violent guy, instantly going to fighting for every arguement he has. Though, I'm not saying he won't esculate a fight into a couple knives in someone's throat.
Other info: *Glances at Thunder's test paper* Oh, he's male.

What About it?
Anyway Rip Yu posted this In The Forum Games section

[RipClaw]

Nice apps everyone! I've accepted all three. The RP thread will be up in a couple of days, once we get more people.

Also, I posted this in Forum Games because... well, I didn't think it mattered. I see app threads in both "Everything Else" and in "Forum Games".

Sweet as Bru!

Well, here goes nothing!
Leader
Name: "Tommy" Gales
Age: 35
Appearance: "Tommy" wears torn, dirty clothing. He is filthy, and very pale. His eyes have started to fog, but he's not completely blind. He's also pale.
Biography: "Tommy" was a great miner. At one point, he was even an electrician! He was selected to go to the Outpost below the surface, and help mine. He was great at his job, and then... the elevators were blocked. He had no family at the outpost with him, they were supposed to come after the elevator incident. But, they could not. He was just happy they were safe.
One day, he was out mining, when, he got lost. His light source had burnt out, and he had nowhere to go. He passed out, and awoke to a small group. They were helping the strange new man. They spoke in broken English (Or whatever language the people in the RP speak), almost as if they had forgotten their ways. Upon asking them, they only said they had been lost for a long time, or if they were of a different nationality. Exactly how long, still remains a mystery. Whatever the case, he taught them the full language, again. They accepted him into their small "tribe".
Many other people found themselves lost in the old, dark cave system. They were accepted into the now, growing tribe. They used to eat small rodents, but, with the help of "Tommy", they have started to grow crops. They do not usually have to resort to it, but when the crops do bad, and there are no rodents, they will resort to cannibalism. If they kill a hostile human, they will devour the corpse, and fashion the bones into weapons. However, if their are no "hostile" humans, it is considered an honor to be eaten by the tribe...
Group led: Amissus Populus - Tribe
Feelings: He's very irrational with outsiders. He only cares for those in his tribe, and will die for each, and every one of them. He is usually hostile.
Other info: I think that their should be at least one tribe to "spice" things up. >:3

[RipClaw]

I love the idea of a tribe that has separated from the main colony. Accepted it, I like it.

Will the IC thread be created today, Rip? : D

[RipClaw]

Possibly. More likely tomorrow morning though.

Miner
Name: Johnny Riggs
Age: 34
Appearance: (Include what they wear) brown hair in a mullet (business in the front party in the back!) white vest, miners helmet, jeans, workman shoes,, blue eyes, strong build
Biography: (Make it as long as possible!) Johnny was born into the mining profession as his father was miner and his father before that was a miner etc. He is very strong from years of working in the mines and was once offered the job as a leader! But he turned it down for his love of mining was too great. He usually uses the pickaxe but sometimes uses a drill. He is usually friendly to most people but can change quickly. He is not very smart but makes up for it in brawn as he has his whole life as from a young age he took boxing lessons and through his teen years fought in a boxing club. As soon as he turned 20 he became a miner and has been ever since. He has basic knowledge of the tanks but only rides on them to get around and hates using them for mining.
Favorite tool: (Tank, pickaxe, drill, etc) Pickaxe
Feelings: (How do they react to stuff?) jokingly, seriously
Other info: the answer to life is 42
