Refugee Camp v1 (a forum rp)
« on: June 15, 2012, 02:00:25 AM »
OOC:
Well, I know everyone loves some good 'ol fashioned forum roleplay, so I thought I'd write a backstory and make a thread. Here are a few guidelines and stuff:

Rules:
No powergaming!
No metagaming!
OOC text must be enclosed in (( )) e.g. (( inb4appdenied ))
Me must be done with * e.g. *Nick Farlioni steps into his Humvee, turns the key in the ignition and puts the petal to the metal.
It must be done with ** e.g. **The tent has fell over everyone.
Don't be a dick!

Backstory:
The year is 2016 and you're in Syria. The village you are in has been pillaged and everyone is sent to a refugee camp. As you walk, you see bodies of women, children and men. Their eyes open, blankly staring into space; their faces slowly dripping blood. Drop, drop, drop. The regime has not surrendered and they are still fighting and the militias massacre villages not sparing anyone. You're walking on dry ground, bare foot with barely any clothes on you. You can smell burning rubber from the fresh mortar strikes. A few stones get lodged in your foot on the way, but you continue walking. A few hours in the excruciatingly hot sun, with some wild animals here and there, you finally arrive at the refugee camp. There are already thousands of people there. It smells and it is very dirty and everyone is deathly thin. There is a makeshift house that the aid workers have setup to guide the newly arrived guests. They assign you a tent and give you a small piece of corn bread. Families are split up and they cry, but go on their seperate ways, hoping one day, they will finally see freedom.

Tyrone Jackson, 22, was born in Utah, USA; the armpit of america. He wasn't a genius, nor was he stupid. He was just your average everyday man. On April 23rd of 2015, he flipped on the television and turned it to CNN. He stared intently at the glowing "idiot-box." The TV just kept showing videos from YouTube that Syrians have posted. He was horrified to see villages burning, children dead and women murdered. Sure, he'd heard about this from his colleagues and family, but he never really took the initiative to learn about it. That's when he decided to go, to go to Syria. He hired a private pilot to fly him over to Iraq and he runs over the border to Syria. From the help of locals, he gets around and starts a refugee camp. Of course, he wasn't alone. He brought over some of his friends: Jeremy L'Amiah, Kokoa Deazayuki and Donald Reagan. Before crossing into Iraq, they went to REI and bought some twenty tents. The cashier asked him "Whatcha doin with all them tents?"
    "Helping the people in Syria," Tyrone replied, assuring himself that he really is going and will help these people. The cashier scanned his tents, his non-perishable camping food, five first aid kits and some lanterns. Now that they arrived to the place they wanted to setup camp, they setup the aid worker tent and tossed a first aid it in it and lit a lantern. They had no means of protection, but they found some people from "For Freedom." So now they have arms, tents, food and first aid. The commander of the little "For Freedom" unit had a radio on him and heard reports of a bombing. They got into their Jeep and rode off, and soon enough, we had about ten to twenty refugees in the camp. ((Someone should make a char with these first refugees!))
