So I had an idea….

Basically its a magic island on which a character has gotten trapped on. They find a magic bottle and put a message in it and throw it into the sea. Anyone who reads the message gets sent to that island and gets trapped on it.

The characters are from different time periods and time passes normally on the island, meaning they die. The only twist is that everytime someone new finds the bottle and is transported to the island, all the previous residents come back to life with all their memories. The very first person who got trapped on the island is sick of it and wants to stay either d*ad or stay alive.

The most recent person to come on the island was transported with whatever they were holding/wearing, this time it was the modern smartphone and a bag with all their textbooks. This character is someone who studied to become a shipwright and knows a lot about ships.

I know I want at least 5 characters but I can add more spots if people are interested.

CHARACTERS:

The First (Probably of Greek roots, they named the island and were a gladiator or warrior type of person): @StarkSpangledMayflower (Cato Oliver) (1st to arrive on the island)

The Peasant (Not specifically from a medieval era, can be from any era where there are very clear class divisions. This will be a female because this person knows how to sew, cook, and knows how to gather edible plants): @Tired-but-passionate (Victoria) (5th to arrive on the island)

The Witch (Someone from the medieval ages, someone who was considered a witch and knows a lot about plants, rocks, and nature, can enchant the weapons): @Zoe-the-GM (Luna)

The Prince/ss (The Royal heir to a kingdom long forgotten. This person can speak a few languages and is skilled at archery. They think highly of themselves and are still learning that they need to so things themselves on this island): @RiverTheSeawing (Yukime Kobayashi) (3rd to arrive on the island)

The Smith (Someone who knows a lot about blacksmithing and is the one who built most of the huts and buildings on Ogygia, doesn't like enchanting their weapons): @knightinadream (Rafael Stocia)

The Captain (The person who most recently got ahold of the bottle and are very used to their modern amenities. This person does spend a lot of time on boats and knows how to build/commandeer one, but they would still prefer living in an apartment with a steady WiFi connection): @Relsey (Bennett Wiliams) (6th to arrive on the island)

I call dibs on the witch!

When the characters come back to life, how old are they? The same as when they first transported to Ogygia?

Yes! Its like someone pressed a refresh button and everything goes back to the way it was, the only things thay stay the same are any buildings and houses the characters built and the memories of said characters

That's pretty neat. I'm working on creating my OC now, are there specific requirements?

Can I get a writing sample before you join? Something on the spot? This is just to see if our writing styles will be compatible

I'll post a template once you are approved!

Yeah of course, I'm gonna finish dying my hair first, so I'll be back in like 30 min to an hour.

Ok

Ah shit, sorry I might take a bit longer, I gotta do something else :/

Ok

Julia stealthily crawled underneath the shelf, then hid in the far corner. She hugged her legs tightly, buried her head into her knees, and kept her eyes closed, like there was glue holding them shut. Staying as still as possible, she listened to the enviroment, while controlling her corse breath, wanting to gasp for air. Many minutes of silence passed by, so she ended up relaxing a little. Still not wanting to move an inch, she continued to hide, hoping someone will save her. The door creaks open, making Julia squeeze herself tighter, listening to soft foot steps walk around the room. She swears she felt piercing eyes glaring at her, but if that were the case, they would've viciously shouted something by now. The foot steps grew slightly louder, hence the person is much closer…
"Mom? Are you alright?"
Tears immediately pour out of Julia's eyes, when she heard the sweet little voice of her her daughter's.
"Come in, quick." Julia whispered, then pulled her little girl into her arms. "Shh, stay quiet, everything will be okay."
Her seven year old daughter obeyed, and stayed quiet, although she began to tear up too.

(This is kind of short, but I can write much more when I would have the time to.)

(Yeah. Here you go:

Storm ran through the silver coated halls, panting heavily. She could hear footsteps thundering behind her as she tried her best to escape her pursuer. "You're doing fine," she said to herself, "you can outrun them." The hall seemed unending, at this pace she would never find the turn she needed to get out. She kept hope despite the fact that her pursuers were catching up on her and her situation was starting to seem bleak. She didn't see a way out yet, other than a risky jump to a small, broken window; it wasn't much, but it would have to do. She crossed her fingers and tried the jump, but fell backwards just as she was about to get out and broke her back. She had plenty of open wounds, a broken back and an army after her; it was over for her. In mere minutes, she was faced by a guard holding a weapon to her head. Just as she was about to die, she heard a strident roar and the guard disappeared; this wasn't how it was supposed to go. Thanks to whatever made that sound, she was able to run free; however, she wouldn't get away tonight. Just as she was about to leave, she looked back to see darkness swallowing the halls; she tried to escape, but the door was suddenly locked. Soon enough, she was swallowed by the darkness and floated in it like it was a liquid; it had killed her. A sound similar to a bell rang out; Storm woke in her bedroom, coldly sweating and breathing heavily. "Oh," she said to herself, "it was just a dream." She felt relieved that it was just a dream, but then a feeling of uncertainty washed over her; she heard the same roar as from the dream. Suddenly, she passed out on the spot; when she woke, she was no longer in her bedroom.

"Hey honey." A women wearing a dress came into the room. "Hi mom," she said to her, "morning already." Her mom nodded and asked her to come into the living room. "Give me one second," she replied, "let me properly wake up first." Her mom nodded and left the room, most likely to make breakfast. Right after she left, Storm's eyes flashed black; whatever this was, it wasn't Storm.)

(Sorry if it's short.)

Name/any nicknames: Yukime Kobayashi
Age: 19
Gender/pronouns: She/Her
Sexuality: Bi
Personality: Yukime has a little bit of an ego, but doesn't lack self awareness. She is impatient and can be rude at times; she's also exhausted of the start over thing, even though she's only been there for two now. Despite her exhaustion with it, she does appreciate the pretty much eternal youth. She wants to avoid dying, as she died early during her coming here and the Smith coming here. She finds the idea of advancing civilization intriguing and wishes she could see it, but also wants to get back to her family. She doesn't quite realize that time on the island and time everywhere else line up, so she doesn't know her family is long dead.
Appearance: Yukime is a 5' 2" tall Asian girl with somewhat tanned skin. She has medium length, wavy silver hair, which ends at her shoulders. The tips and highlights of her hair look frost blue in the right lighting, which is usually the moonlight. She has large, oval-shaped cornflower blue eyes, which seem to sparkle in the moonlight. Her teeth are a little crooked, though are shiny white.
Role: Princess
How they found the bottle: The bottle washed up in a pond near the castle and was found by her brother, who thought it was for her.
Any background info: Yukime Kobayashi is the lost princess of the Ushinawareta kingdom, a lost kingdom in Asia (which I made up). Before she ended up on the island, she lived with her mother, Chikako Kobayashi, her father, Daichi Kobayashi and her younger brother, Akihiko Kobayashi. She practiced Archery, as well as her normal princess stuff, and had kept it a secret from everyone except her brother. She and her brother got along like no other siblings in the kingdom, but used to get in trouble in their younger years. At the time of her disappearance, her parents were in their 50s and her brother was 16.
Outfits: Yukime's main outfit is a ripped princess dress. It is white with peasant sleeves and is ripped so that it ends just before her knees. Along with the dress, this outfit consists of black heel boots, black finger-less gloves and a fox brooch made of silver.
Yukime also owns a white jumpsuit and a jacket made with wolf fur (it's not that she doesn't care about animals, it's that faux fur didn't exist back then).
Hobbies/talents: Yukime is good at archery and can speak Japanese, Korean and English (She picked English up on the island).
Weaknesses: Yukime is clumsy when it comes to walking or running and falls down a lot, she also doesn't have very thick skin.
Other: When Yukime ended up on the island, she brought her bow, a quiver full of arrows and her tiara (which she was wearing at the time) there.
(Hope she's good.)

Name/any nicknames: Luna
Age: 23
Gender/pronouns: Female she/her
Sexuality: Homosexual
Personality: Mellow and mysterious. She's introverted and was just so used to being a hermit. She used to be super serious when she first arrived, but loosened up by alot, because she has all of the time in the world to do what she wants, so she's now more sarcastic.
Appearance: She's 5'3, and has long, wavy, brunette hair, and amber eyes. She's skinny af, probably because she barely eats. She usually wears thin materials, preferably grey or black, but that's not important.
Role: The Witch
How they found the bottle: Luna's secretive ex, snitched to the guards, and told them that Luna's a witch. During her trial, when they tied her up and pushed her into the lake, she saw a bottle floating by her… If she could just reach it, she knew the soldiers would pull her out right afterwards. She struggled to swim much, but still managed to, "Witch! She is a witch!" They shouted. When they were startled that was her chance to splash some water and scare them more by speaking in tongue, without them noticing, she grabbed the bottlend and opened it behind her back to let the paper slip out. When the guards grabbed hold of her, that was when she read the letter.

(Imagine what it was like on their end XD, "The Devil helped her get away!" Lol.)

Any background info: Luna inherited her abilities, and most of her ancestors were either burned or hunted down. She tried to stay hidden most of her life, and never had many friends. When she entered her late teens, she decided to work for a brewery, and made some close friends, who later on learned about her secrets, these friends were trustworthy of course. At 19 she met a gardener who was slightly younger then her, and would collect berries and herbs all the time. She never really understood why she kept wanting to hang out with Hayley, until their first kiss.

1.When she arrived in Ogygia, super confused and emotional about what just happened, she met "the first." Years go by, and she was killed by a pack of rabid wolves.
2.Awoke where she first arrived in Ogygia, confused, and the first was most likely pissed. They met the peasant, and by now she has learned this world's pattern. To avoid what happened last time, she found a cure for rabies, but this time she committed suicide to see if everything will restart again.
3.Correct, the world did start again, then she met the princess.
4.Met the smith, died by age.
5.Tired of doing this again, and she has been introduced to the most unique individual ever, who spoke about alot of gibberish.

Hobbies/talents: Stargazing, gardening, collecting minerals, alchemy, mixology, reading, writting, researching, and exploring Ogygia.
Weaknesses: Loud noises, negative energy, and large bodies of water.
Other: OC link (It's not finished yet.)

(Quick question, what time period/place is the Smith from?)

(Idk, but I would think like the 18-19th centry or so.)
