| December 21st, 2012 didn't actually bring the end of the world. It brought something much, much worse.
It's the year 2023. Most of the world's resources are polluted, the economy has plummeted, the government has fallen to pieces. The United States isn't really united anymore as it is tight groups of the surviving human race, scattered about the remainents of what was North America.
There is no government. No police, no senators, no president. No one to keep everyone in check. America has made so many enemies that nobody from the other countries was willing to help them out, and now they're just as bad.
With no government, control of the remaining survivors of what was the U.S. is fair game to anyone and everyone. One of the many people that do want control of it is a group called the Κοράκι. They plan on building a machine to create the ultimate disaster. Being the only ones who'll know how to stop it, they will be able to eliminate all competition for control over the last of the human race.
The thing is, they're missing a piece. A vital piece.
Little pieces of the last piece to the machine have been scattered. All of them have been passed down to the most recent descendant as "family heirlooms", and now it's up to the Κοράκι to get all the pieces.
In the end, they succeed. The people of 2023 don't know this.
But the people from 2030 does.
In 2030, a mad scientist and his granddaughter have been working against the Κοράκι, who are now have control and are rebuilding the U.S. to create their own army. They're trying to take over the other countries.. The whole world, in fact.
What is their project, exactly? A timetravelling device. And when the scientist's granddaughter shows up in 2023 to protect the descendants with the vital pieces and fix the mistake made, they find out that it works.
The scientist's granddaughter has only a short window of time to work with the small group of uncooperative kids, though. Some are rich, some are poor. Some live in large houses, some live on the streets. The only thing they have in common is that they all have a piece that the Κοράκι want and are unwilling to listen to this "timetraveller".
If the timetraveller doesn't get back to her time by the time that short window of time closes, she will cease to exist. And if she doesn't get those rowdy kids to cooperate, the world might be doomed forever.
Time is running out. Rules ~
1: This is a literate roleplay. I'm expecting at least a paragraph (consisting of four sentences, at the least) per post. An attempt at correct spelling and proper grammar would be appreciated, as well. 2: This is a private roleplay. The first six people to send me their forms via private message have the spots. I have the right to reject your form if there are already six people or I don't think you're literate enough for this roleplay. Please respect my rights to do so. 3: DO NOT GO AHEAD. DO NOT LEAVE ANYONE OUT. Nobody likes reading tons of pages; nobody likes being left out. There will be a posting order, follow it. 4: You have have up to two characters. One character must be one of the teens with a piece vital to the building/function of the machine, and if you choose to have a second, they can be a member of the Κοράκι. 5: Don't be afraid to shoot me a message if you have a question! 6: HAVE FUN! :)

- Spoiler:
Full Name: Jace Dacey MacBrennan
Gender: Male
Age: Seventeen
Physical Description: Tall and lanky, this seventeen-year-old gives off the impression that he hasn't quite grown into himself, what with the constant stumbling over his own feet (among other things). He's pale, almost unhealthily so. His peculiar blue eyes stand out, both against his pale complexion and the dark bags underneath his eyes from lack of sleep. His raven hair isn't really styled, per say. It's fairly long, ending an inch or so under his earlobs, his bangs messy and always in his face. A typical outfit for him is a t-shirt and jeans, as well as his good ol' sneakers. Oh! And that strange family heirloom, a peculiar locket that supposedly belonged to his mother. He keeps it with him at all times. And did we mention the snake bite piercings on his lower lip? Yeah...
Personality: He had to grow up rather fast. His mother supposedly died giving birth to him, and his father took off when he was six. Yeah, life wasn't exactly a warm and fuzzy greeting card. He learned to be tough and suck it up, no matter what it was, at a young age. He's always been reckless and rebellious, since a very young age. Boss him around and he'll make sure to not listen and make your life very difficult. He's extremely sarcastic, and comes off as a bit of a "bad boy" but is a secret techie. He specializes in hacking, and computers in general. Although he doesn't like to get close to people because you never know who's going to die next anymore, he's very protective over those he does allow himself to get close to.
History: His parents are unknown. All he knows is that his mother supposedly died giving birth to him, and his father took off just shortly after he turned six. He ended up in an orphanage, and lived there (running away and living on the streets for weeks at a time, starting at age thirteen) until around 2012. That's when things got bad. He was fifteen or so at the time, and the government lost control of everything. The economy collapsed... It wasn't good. He managed to get away from the orphange (not after stealing all the funds they had first... Heh?) and has been living on his own ever since.
Other? Holds a piece, supposedly a "family heirloom". And I totally stole the "warm and fuzzy greeting card" part from Mean Girls 2. And his celebrity look-a-like is Kevin Zeger.
Full Name: Luna Pyx Thatcher
Gender: Female
Age: Fifteen
Physical Description: Slender and petite, she doesn't look her age at all. In fact, she looks as if she's only thirteen, maybe fourteen, at the oldest. Her skin is pale, but not unhealthily so. Her hair is pale blonde and wavy, ending near the middle of her back. Her eyes are a peculiar honey-brown color. Her signature outfit is a black skirt that ends just above her knees, black and white striped stockings, a long-sleeved white shirt with a black vest over it, and a black messanger bag.
Personality: Although her parents died at a young age, her life wasn't particularly horrible. It got lonely, at times, though. Because everything collapsed, the economy, the government, she never went to school. Never made any friends, never gained any social skills. She appears rather weak (which, admittedly, she is) but makes up for it in brain power. Quiet, but clever. Shy, but excellent at making split second decisions. Highly intelligent for her age, she's able to understand concepts far beyond most college-educated adults and professors. Her small size makes her very agile and quick, and she might be something to reckon with if she wasn't so sheltered when she was younger. Even if a member of the Κοράκι came around, she was kept hidden away. She never knew the true state of the world until recently. Because she was so sheltered, she has next to no social skills and is terrified of a lot of things. Even so, she's a leader figure... When she wants to be? (Yeah, we're doomed).
History: Her parents died when she was five years old, killed by the Κοράκι, although she didn't find this out until much later. After her parents died, she was put in the custody of her "mentally unstable" grandfather. In truth, she thought he was a genius. Her grandfather spoke of a better time, just seven years ago. When she was thirteen, they started developing a time machine of sorts. It was nearly finished when her grandfather died of a heart attack, but left her everything; His house, his money, his machine. A few days after her fifteenth birthday, it was finally finished. Running the test, she found, much to her delight, that it worked. Now it's up to her to fix the mistake made in 2023.
Other? Is the "timetraveler" from the future, therefore she holds no piece of the machine. Her job is to get these rowdy kids to understand that the fate of the world is at stake, and she's kind of panicking... Let's just say where she's from, the future ain't lookin' too bright.

Full Name - Willow Asteria Harris
Gender - Female
Age - Sixteen
Physical Description - Willow is much like the tree in stature. She is taller than most sixteen year old's standing around 5'9, close to 6'0 altogether, but she makes up for that by being very clumsy. Her legs are long and lean like the rest of her body and she has sinewy muscles running through her, like a swimmer or a runner. Her skin is pale and white, a stark contrast to her dark brown, almost black hair. Her eyes are a bright jade green, cutting through the night and letting her see through most darkness. Willow wears jeans most of the time, not liking to wear skirts or dresses casually, but she will sometimes if the notion strikes her. You'll always find her looking in some obscure book and reading through anything she can get her hands on, so it doesn't come as a surprise that she keeps a black knapsack with her most-to all the time. She will usually wear boots that go up to her knees overtop of her jeans, or her black converse that do the same. The converse are different than most though, as they glow in the dark.
Personality - Willow is very smart, but she isn't known for her wisdom. She's known for how nice she is to people, friends or strangers, Willow doesn't loose her temper often, but if she does, it can get pretty scary. She has a way with directions and can pretty much find her way anywhere and help people, even if she hasn't been to the place they are looking for herself. Willow tends to stay by herself more than often but will sometimes sit in the company of another. She also likes dogs and other animals, and sitting in the middle of the night, reading books by the moonlight, that always seems to brighten when she's around. Willow also has a knack for being able to know when something is about to happen, from as small as spilling your cup of coffee on your shirt, to as large as an on-coming threat, Willow has the ability to sense it almost. When she's sensing something, the girl tends to clam up and not talk much, not like she talks much at all to begin with. She is also very street smart, even though she is quite clumsy, you really don't want to cross Willow on one of her bad days. She tends to get testy.
History - Willow was born in Tennessee, near one of it's biggest cities. She lived near the downtown area her entire life, and because of that wasn't afraid of much, always going out with friends and walking the streets at night. That was, until the night her parents died. Kat was home, and her parents had gone out to eat on the square. She wasn't really expecting them back anytime, but when they weren't home at twelve, she started to get worried. At this time, Kat was twelve, and had her fair share of fights in school because the girls there were jerks, and most of them knew something was up with her. The resturant her parents were going to was only a couple of blocks away, so she grabbed her keys, locked the house up, and make sure she had her pepper spray. When she reached the resturant, she glanced into the alley beside it and was horrified to find that her parents were already dead and just lying there. After the police found the bodies, Willow was taken to live with her Aunt, her mother's sister, who isn't bad, she just doesn't pay attention to anything.
Other? - Posting color is white. She holds one of the pieces, now, whether or not you can choose what that piece looks like, I don't know.
Vixen
- Spoiler:
Full Name: Lauren Mallory Blake
Gender: Female
Age: Sixteen
Physical Description: The first thing you'll notice about Lauren Mallory is her height. She's small for her age, only about five feet two inches. She tends to make herself look taller with high boots and such. The other thing that stands out is her hair. It's a long, pale white curtain almost, with multiple blues and purples dyed in it. She only uses a small comb she found to brush it, so sometimes it looks extremely tangled. She's usually blowing her side bangs out of her eyes because she resisted to get them cut, and now it's too late. She likes to wear her hair in two long braids, or just normal. You'll never see her have it in a ponytail or pigtails. Her eyes are big and wide, which she very disliked, because it helps her slip out of trouble. They're an icey blue color, but from far away they can look almost white or gray. Her eyes and hair contrast againsther smooth, pale skin, which never seems to tan, no matter how long she hangs around outside. Lauren never seems to smile fully, maybe smirk or half-smile, otherwise she looks expressionless. Despite her height, Lauren has a slim, athletic build. She can outrun almost everybody because of the practice she's had. Her feet and hands are rough and tough from living out in the streets. On a usual basis she'll wear a black t-shirt with a band logo on it, and a lether jacket ove rit during the bitter winters. Anything denim like shorts, jeans and skirts; she'll wear. Like I said earlier, she likes to wear high heel boots. Her favorite pair are a worn ragged black pair that have a mix of metal and buckles outlining it. She loves chains and anything silver, so she usually has a braclet or pair of silver earrings on. The only necklace she wears is one her mom gave her that has a small gem inside it, which is one of the vital pieces. Lauren doesn't know that though.
Personality: When you first meet Lauren you'll either a.) run off or b.) not dare to approach her. She's rude and reckless, and doesn't care about anything. She's far from responsible and gambles a lot, usually winning, which is how she get her food, dye, clothes, and shelter. She tends to give off a gothic vibe but really isn't. She starts fights on the streets a lot but never had the guts to kill someone. Maybe hurt and knock them unconcious, but never kill. She can fight pretty well, considering all the practice she's had. Lauren doesn't trust anyone or anything, and always jumps to the wrong conclusion. She doesn't hve any friends or family, but a small ragged cat named Knife. Her cat only visits her at night, so during the day she can get really lonely while walking through the streets. She never show any emotion, even if she's mad, sad, happy, etc. She likes talking smart mouth at people, and can be really snide and jerky. She's very clever, knowing how to win a gamble or when danger is around. All her anger and rudeness can be a mask for who she use to be. She use to be shy and nice to people. If you're lucky she could be to you, but it usually doesn't last long. Lauren keeps to herself and never shows these emotions, but sometimes she just breaks. But when she has these meltdowns she never lets anyone see or hear, cause she can be very self-concious.
History: Lauren was born before the world got messed up. She lived with her parents, just like ay other happy family. But when 2012 passed, things started to go horribly wrong. Lauren was only five when the world startd to get chaotic. Her father was the first to die, killed by a gang of smugglers. Her mom was devasted and when Lauren was ten, her mom killed herself by making herself drown in the ocean. She wanted to take her daughter with, but the little girl resisted. Lauren was then left home alone in their ranch, scared and lost. Two years later when she was twelve, she started to become the tough girl she is now. She started stealing and robbing, always roaming the streets for food and other things needed to survive. One day she came back to her house in ashes. Someone had burned it down. The only thing left was her mother's necklace, the one the jewel in it. She met Knife a year after that, and from then one lived like she does now.
Other? She holds a piece, and my posting color is black.
