12 people are randomly grabbed from their ordinary lives and brought to a tropical island. They have been given no explanation and no time to pack or what so ever. The last thing they remember before waking up on the island is probably how they just left their home, or called their mom, or were preparing a dinner. All ordinary things. At first it may seem like a dream, or nightmare, but reality quickly settles in for these 12 people. They are the participants of the new Surprise Island!
Surprise Island is a reality show, where the participants are followed 24/7 with hidden cameras. The producers of the show are extremely rich to make this all possible. The show even has his own channel and world wide watchers, so everyone can follow the show at any given moment, when ever they want. There is even participation for the watchers! They can donate money to help their favorites out or send in weird questions or tasks for the participants to complete. Big donations can even lead to very special of specific requests being full filled. After five years, Surprise Island is back again. This time with Surprise Island; the Zodiacs.
-
1. General
- 1.1 Rp will be open for all kind of ethnicities, genders and sexualities, so please be open minded and respectful to everyone. If you are not or make others uncomfortable I will warn you once and otherwise report you.
- 1.2 You can reserve ONE zodiac spot if you have a really really really strong preference. If you do reserve a specific spot I do assume you are fully commited to make a character and join into the rp. If not, please do not reserve a spot. (I might hate you otherwise or at least be very displeased).
- 1.3 I would like a lot of commitment from my players and at least biweekly replies of two/three paragraphs per character.
- 1.4 I will both be GM and player. In the end my wish is your command, but I am open for discussions and to listen to your ideas, wishes or recommendations etc. And of course don't hesitate to ask any questions.
- 1.5 Since this is no red/blue star roleplay, things will fade to black as soon as the underwear is taken off. If you do wish to write out the sexy scene, you can do so in private (and perhaps link it to those interested) but make sure that you are both the same star color.
- 1.6 Join the Surprise Island discord channel! If not you will miss out on a lot of commication and fun.
- 1.7 If you feel uncomfortable with something in the roleplay or outside of the roleplay, please mention it. This should be fun for everyone involved, so please please please let me know if something feel wrong or makes you uncomfortable so I and we all can make this a nice and save place for everyone. This includes respecting each other as soon as a person says something makes them uncomfortable or they would rather not have you say or do something. If you do not show respect to the other players I will kick you out AND report you.
2. Characters
- 2.1 Every character has a different zodiac sign. You don't have to be a perfect Pisces, but if you want a proud and confronting character, don't play a Libra for instance. (Below will be more info about the zodiacs).
- 2.2 All characters are between the ages 21 and 39 years. (I will under no circumstances make any exception from this rule).
- 2.3 All characters are random persons like you and me that might know Surprise Island as a show from five years ago, they do not, under NO circumstance have any knowledge of them participating until they are ON the island. And even than they might only have assumptions, or hopes, or the idea, that they are participants until it is truly revealed to them.
- 2.4 Characters have no relation towards each other before the start of the show. If you have a very good reason, I might allow it, so please ask me (in private) first by pitching your idea.
- 2.5 Characters will be your average persons in life. In case you'd like to play a character that is widely know or even nationally famous or important or extremely rich etc etc. Please pitch your idea to me (in private) on beforehand.
- 2.6 If I tell you to change something about your character, please do so. If you believe that part is vital for your character, please tell me in private. I will listen to you, but I might still ask you to change or we can discuss something to keep your idea and yet have it fitted into my idea of this rp. NOTE: if your character has a relationship with another character or is very famous/well known/rich without asking me on beforehand I will under no circumstance accept this afterwards.
- 2.7 Since this is no romance/sex driven rp (not saying it will not happen or be part of it) I do not care how many males or females of intersexual persons we have and I will not keep count of what sexuality everyone has. NOTE: if you set up your character to fall in love and be all happy with another character from the first second, I will do everything in my might (aka with my characters in the plot) to make sure that romance fails. This is just a warning, since I absolutely HATE preset couples. However I do not have any problems with shipping certain characters together or talking about couples. Just don't do preset couples, okay?
- 2.8 Your character will have NOTHING on the island upon arrival except for the clothes and the things they had on the moment they were abducted.
3. Posting
- 3.1 Depending on how active the group is, the posting speed will increase or decrease. Be prepared to post at least ONCE every TWO weeks.
- 3.2 Post length will be around 2/3 paragraphs per character. This also depends on what is going on in the roleplay. If you keep on posting too little or breaking this rule when there is no reason for it, I will give ou a warning. If things do no get better after that, I will gently ask you to leave the roleplay. (though that will suck for everyone involved, so please try to keep to this rule).
- 3.3 Any spoken text will be collored. You will use the same color for the same character all the time.
- 3.4 Since most likely the characters will not all have English as their mother tongue and to keep things clear and understanding for everyone, please use italics if your character is speaking a different language than English.
- 3.5 Be aware of time and placement of your characters. This means that if I, as GM, decide it is night you will not have your character go outside on the beach to sunbathe. Or that if one character whispers something under their breath, your character will not hear that on the other side of the island (yes, I have had that kind of discussions with people before).
- 3.6 No godmoding, or powerplay, or anything that involves your character be perfect or you moving someone elses character. If this happens, or you think it happened, please tell me and the involved partners. If indeed you, by mistake or on purpose, wrote for some elses character and that person or I ask you to change your post, you will do so without protest (or you will be kicked out).
- 3.7 Every post starts with a small pic of your character and their name. You post will also mention their whereabouts, and you tag the players/character that your character is mentioning or talking to. You are free to do this at the top or bottom of your post, just keep it consistent.
- 3.8 Please for the love of all that is roleplay, proofread your damn posts. I do not expect flawless and perfect English, but please try to keep typos and grammar mistakes to a minimum. Only if your character is texting another character you may use text talk and emojis in your post. Otherwise you will type normal English.
- 3.9 Fade to black when things get too sexy. You can continue in private if you are the same star color. That is not up to me to decide.
- 3.10 Each character gets their own post!
-
Rules of the Island
- There will be no internet on the island. It is impossible to connect with anyone that is not on the island.
- Every participant will have their own phone. The phone is used for the producers to send challenges to a participant. The phone can also be used to communicate with other participants.
- Participants can buy whatever they want with the credits that they have obtained from completed challenges. More information under Credits and Challenges.
- Participants have to cook and clean. Repairs may or may not be done by the producers when there is a chance.
- Participants can not chose or change rooms. More information under Rooming.
- Everything at the mansion and on the island is for everyone to use, however they please.
Credits
Credits can be obtained in three different ways. The first and easiest way is by getting tags. Surprise Island is of course active on all kind of social medias. This means that if you are tagged, either personal or as a ship, you will recieve credits accordingly. Every tag is one credit. You can also obtain credits by completing personal or group challenges. The number of credits you recieve will be mentioned. Be careful though, sometimes not completing challenges will cause a deduction of credits. Last but not least you can get credits by keeping things very interesting for our watchers, aka sex sells. Kissing is 100 credits, oral sex is 250 credits for the giver, 150 credits for the receiver and penetrating sex will be 500 credits.
Challenges
These can either be personal or for the whole group. Challenges can be sent in by the watchers, but also be given from the producers directly. Challenges can be anything from very innocent things like ‘you have to wear a red shirt today’ to very sexual ‘you need to seduce someone for oral sex’. Challenges can also be very fun ‘sing this song during karaoke’ or very romantic ‘these two participants will go on a date’. It can literally be anything. The more difficult or more intense a challenge is the more credits will be given. Sometimes Challenges will also be punished by taking credits away if not completed. Some Challenges even may have a time limit.
Group Challenges can be things like; karaoke night, DDR night, photoshoot challenge, etc. This will add credits both to the group (for things like food) as well as personal (for instance your highscore in credits).
Rooming
In this mansion there are six rooms, meaning the participants will have to share a room. This is why the participants will be randomly paired up. The pairs will be declared later on. Every room may have a different style, see the pictures below. However all rooms have the same luxurity. They all have an attached bathroom with a toilet, shower and bath. Each room has a small sitting area with two chairs, a couch and coffee table. Furthermore there is one king sized bed in each room and a filled wardrobe.
