...what now? Well, you don't exactly have much of a future anymore, but this would be a good time to explore your past.
Those who wake up on the island come from all over the world. The Human World, that is. And anyone taking a quick look at their profile would find it hard to identify any common factors between them. But below the surface, these lives shared much more than even they knew.
From the time of childhood, there was something...extra. The dark corners and closets of their world sometimes held energy. Alleyways at night never felt as empty as they looked. Shadows would shift in ways no light could be responsible for. Scary movies, amusement park rides, haunted houses, tense moments that sparked fear in people's hearts...they all held that special energy.
Some would simply live their lives fiercely ignoring it and others would embrace it as some sort of "sixth sense." Still more would find their lives in a battle between their mind and senses, between what should be and what they felt was right beside them. Sometimes they would find compromise, sometimes society would find that compromise for them.
And then one day, they were approached by a stranger. One who spoke of these things. Of this energy and the sensation of not-quite-there things lurking in the darkness. They would meet this stranger several times in a matter of weeks. And they'd explain things, answer questions, and speak of a terrible thing: the danger is real, here, and all around us. Mankind is prey. No, even less than that. Your are cattle to be fattened and milked, and herded this way and that by invisible tormentors. Your heart and mind are teased and manipulated for their pleasure and amusement.
The stranger would leave again, to let them think on it. Think on what it means to go from top of the foodchain to domestic livestock. And when the stranger comes back, some are more than ready to hear more, to hear that...
"...mankind doesn't have to be the cattle any longer. Nor even prey with a fighting chance. Because people like me, people like you, have the ability to become Hunters."

The OOC What's this subforum for? - This is the DEATH subforum, meant to explore aspects of your characters deaths and WHY they died. - The first thing to do is post in the lounge. A GM will deal with your character's death, and sentence your character to an action. Please follow their GM post. - IF you have been GM post approved to write your characters past: - After reading the above prompt, you can write just a day-in-the-life type deal, or about an event in their life of them sensing that certain extra energy, or about their recruitment! Please make sure you have been ICLY posted and "dismissed" from the lounge before you begin your last journey for your character, exploring you character's past. - these histories should all be solos!- but your character can totally refer to past relationships with other island contestants (but only in this place! Those who are alive still do not remember these relationships in any way whatsoever!) - it is still recommended that you don't go into physical descriptions of character beyond gender/build/height. - you don't have to post in this subforum if you don't want to!
