Title: Need Characters...
Description: For Epic end of the world story...
Skilos - April 3, 2007 05:58 PM (GMT)
Yes, I am placing a cast call..
After my recent computer meltdown I decided the best way to stop being prissy and angry was to just start writing again. For those of you that follow Downfall... More is on the way! In the meantime I am starting preperations for my new, yet untitled story. My initial thought was to PM you all. But decided this way you can decide for yourselves and not feel obligated to be part of it.
The story begun with a crazed dream I had one night. The basic plotline is this: What happens when the planes near the core of the earth shift and the biggest earthquake ever felt in history hits our globe. Panic, mayhem chaos and grief in short . In my story the earthquake will cause the American continent to slowly slide in to the ocean. A state of emergency is declared over the entire world and rescue missions come from every corner of humanity to help and save the survivors. Now the story will focus in on two groups. The survivors that somehow meet up with my character and a team of rescuers that help the survivors.
I would love it if some of you would like to be part of this. Relationships between people will be very important in this story, though most won't be lovey dovey. They are based on survival instinct, trust and fear. So don't be expecting much hanky panky in this one. Though you never know offcourse.....
If you have read this and are still interested let me know, and fill out the form below. When there are enough people I will work out detailed profiles and I will show you the entire list of characters....

I am looking forward to your replies. And don't be shy... be as specific as you can be. Else I will fill in the blanks myself. If you have questions regarding the story, just ask and I will answers as much as I can. Like I said the project is in it's beginning stages..
Love, Moon

Personal description:
Dutch. Moved to the part which is sliding into the ocean to do PhD research (specifics found under Occupation).

Intelligent, always trying to understand things that are actually just above my level.
Emotionally dependent on the few who really know me (brother, boyfriend, best friend). Always wanting to help, but often helpless due to the lack of ability to truly help. Always willing to listen and offer advice when needed.
Shut down when faced with danger. Direct anger inwards instead of outward. Never cry in public.
Extremely clumbsy, nicknamed “Jinx”. Will always try to appear cheerful. Hyperactive tendencies around those I like. Can ‘read minds’: say what others want to say at a given moment. When faced with any linguistic phenomenon (strange word, new accent, collocation) will always try to pick it apart. In love with accents, met boyfriend (Dom? Please?) when doing MA research in the UK after the linguistic characteristics of the Mancunian accent.

Yay I'd love to be in one of your stories sweetie!! After all I did put you in Boyfriend ;) But no pressure lol
Name: Scarlet Rose Sheridan
Age: 27
Occupation: Second Grade Teacher
Rescuer/Survivor Survivor
Religion (if any): Born and raised Catholic, but hasn't gone to church since her son was baptized.
Biggest fear: Never being found and being alone
Family (and relationship with them): 3 year old son Grayson, we traveled alone
Personal discription: Shy when you first meet her, then can't get her to shut up lol, out-going, extremely friendly too nice sometimes, great with kids, romantic, sensitive, good listener, loves to give advice, very funny and does random things sometimes.
Physical discription:Short much like a hobbit at 5 ft 2 with red hair that she hates so she straightens it a lot. She has big blue eyes that sparkle when she smiles/laughs. She is also curvy, but not big, she's about average weight (150ish pounds). She thinks she's a tad bit fat at times, but knows that she is fine the way she is.
Wich men would you want to see in this story: Definitely Dom since he is in LOST lol, Let's see Elijah, Orlando, Josh Groban would be funny, Josh Holloway lol, Viggo, Ewan McGregor!!! (If I were to have a man I'd like him please) Wentworth Miller, (I blame Mena) Gerard Butler (I blame Amber).
Job: Since I have CPR and First Aid certification, I can help with injuries or be a babysitter to kids lol
Anything important to your character (Talismans or habits): When I get nervous, I don't say anything. I'm picky about food. I bite my nails. I'm stubborn as hell. Sometimes I care more about Grayson instead of myself.
Tastes (Music, style, foods etc.): I love any kind of music. Like I said before, I am picky about what I eat so that becomes a problem when she is forced to eat animals she is not familiar with. I love jeans and sweatpants and t-shirts. I love my flip-flops too.

Mena - April 3, 2007 07:47 PM (GMT)
Oh, pick me, pick me!! It sounds like a very interesting plot, plus, it is a story from you! (no lip service paid here).
Okay, I'll start with some info and I'll update it later (I'm watching LOST and writing in the gap of commercials, sorry! :-p )
Okay... don't hate me now, ut I have been thinking about the potential of this story the whole day in the back of my head (yes!) and I decided to edit pretty much all of my info. :blush:
Name: Sage Murphy
Age: 27 years old
Occupation at the time of the earthquake: Okay... I'm gonna give a try at something I never did before. I usualy go for smartypants' jobs, but this time I want to be.. a carpenter. Yes! A good Irish girl raised by a carpenter, sister of a carpenter, granddaughter of a carpenter, etc... ;)
Rescuer/Survivor: whatever you want... if a rescuer, I'm a good sidekick, but I really can't decide so I'd rather do it for me.
Religion (if any): catholic, but I don't practice. I've been Christianed and all that jazz, and I'd say I believe in God, but I don't go to Church because i disagree on basically everything they say. I'm a practical lil woman... not dense, but practical.
Biggest fear: Uhm... losing my loved once, for plain it might sound.
Family (and relationship with them): older brother Cillian, we haven't heard from each other in a while, fiancé Wentworth Miller (aha, you knew this was coming), my parents still live in Cork, Ireland. If I were to survive a disaster the first people I'd ask news about would probably be my fiancé, my brother, and my best friend, Orlando Bloom, because we have been very close for years. (not sure about this last one... I wanna be friends with Bloom, but it can happen at somepoint during the story if you want to).
Personal discription: outspoken, straight forward, practical, unable to keep still, expecially under pressure. I'm the kind who HAS to find the solution because there always is a solution! But I'm surprisingly gentle and supportive, not insensitive at all. I tend to go up a rampage quite often, but my bad moods never last more than five minutes. Yeah, I have a temper, and still, like all good Irish chicks, I am more reluctant than it seems to talk about personal issues like my feelings, my family and my love life, especially if there's something that saddens me.
Physical discription:petite and slender, 5'6" for 100 ibs... pale skin with some freackles around my nose, curly ginger hair to the shoulders (I always keep it up, anyway), and blue eyes. (You know the wonderful, wonderful eyes
Cillian Murphy has? Those, baby.
Wich men would you want to see in this story: As I said, Wentworth Miller, Orlando Bloom, Cillian Murphy, Dominic Monaghan (not as a love interest, but a story without Dom is like eggs without salt) Gerry Butler, and of course Johnny!
Job (Be specific, I f you want to be a doctor what is your field of expertise and such): as I said before, I'm a carpenter, and trust me, I'm good at what i do. I can carve a pony out of a stick of wood, and tatch up a roof under the beating Irish rain without adding a zillion nails (never use too many nails...). Basically, I am not afraid of hard work and I can achieve satisfying results even with poor resurces. ;)
Anything important to your character (Talismans or habits): Habits? I smoke, and quite a lot, too, and I fiddle with anything I have in hand when I'm very nervous. Talismans.. oh dear, this is a funny story! Well, my fiancé and I never had a very smooth relationship, because he is a calm, thoughtful cute lad, (and he's American, sighhh), while I'm the stubborn type. He's older than me, and he wanted to settle up, move ack to the US, start a family, but I kept on delaying my decisions. He asked me to marry him in subtle ways more than nce, and i always waved it off playing it dumb. When he eventually proposed in a nice, straight-forward way, with the diamond ring and such, I eventually said yes. The day after that, the world went down.... and we lost touch for a while (or even now...?) So, my engagement ring is a bit of the symbol of my life like it used to be and the way i want it back, and I cherish it a lot, and often unconsciously just squeeze it or fiddle with it like a baby with a teddy bear. Aha!
Tastes (Music, style, foods etc.): Music... everything that has a cool beat, but not clubby music. I'm a sucker for old, funky 80's music, likeAerosmith, Guns and Roses, Def Leppard and such. I love to listen to my iPod when I work. ;) (Like, I sing along Love in an Elevator while I drive nails on a roof, seriously). Style? Hey, I'm an Irish carpenter, you won't see me in nothing else than jeans, trainers and a worn out denim jacket. I won't lie, I can look VERY good when i dress up all ladylike, but i don't do it often. But I wear make up and small earrings.. it's my little girlish treat.
Foods? Guinness beer, chips, mashed potatoes... well, potatoes in general (so clichè, but I DO love potatoes, me, Mena), and chocolate. Yeah, healthy is NOT my second name.
Banner person: Alicia Witt or Emily Blunt with red hair.
Okay, I'm done... I hope it's interesting enough! :blush:
Happy writing, I'm really, really looking forward to read this!

Name: Miranda Peterson
Age: 25
Occupation at the time of the earthquake: Book Store Owner
Rescuer/Survivor: Rescuer
Religion (if any): Catholic...but she's non-practing at the moment.
Biggest fear: She also has a bad case of Claustrophobia and she's afraid of falling over tall places (like Empire State Building or a ferris wheel)
Family (and relationship with them): Her parents John and Susan and older siblings Remmy (Older sister) and Alex (Older Brother). She is very close to all of them...even though they annoy her at times.
Personal discription: She is a fiesty girl who won't take no for an answer. She hates it when people make fun of her short size and she's not afraid to poke fun back at them! She has a huge temper...but she tries to keep it in check. She is loyal to her friends and is willing to meet new people. She is fluent in five languages (English, French, Spanish, Japanese and Russian) but she's willing to learn more!
Physical discription: She's 5' (The shortest in her family) with blue eyes and brown hair with black highlights. Her weight is about 100lbs and has a hourglass shape (She loves to work out). Finally she has clear fair skin
Wich men would you want to see in this story: Billy Boyd and Hugh Jackman
Job (Be specific, I f you want to be a doctor what is your field of expertise and such): Like I said...she's a book store owner...but it's one of those Mom and Pop stores that she inherited from her parents (Her father started the bookstore and does help her with stocking and the shipments of new books). She does have a major in business management with a minor in accounting....so that does help her a bit. She loves to read so she does sneek a peek at a book once in a while when there are no customers.
Anything important to your character (Talismans or habits): She's gets annoyed easily and has a big temper (quick one too!). She doesn't like people cutting her off or blocking her path when she's shopping for things. Hates people taking forever looking for something (She feels like you should create a list before going out). She picks her nose, but tries not to do it public. She's lazy and hates to exercise. She's is a big junk food addict...but knows not to go too overboard with it. She does act like a diva sometimes....but it's not that bad. Finally she is slightly paranoid about somethings and has a big ego/acting greedy about other things (example: She's gets overparanoid about money sometimes and she always wants to be the best at everything.. Think Kanye West during any award shows for the greedy/big ego part).
Tastes (Music, style, foods etc.): Music: Dance and poppish rock. She does love U2 and Weird Al the most...but she's more about musical styles than anything else.
Style: She is preppish goth with a hint of white trash. She hates wearing skirts and dresses (As she never likes to shave. She's very proud of her body hair and she hates the work more than anything else) and likes to wear long sleeved shirts underneath a concert/music styled t-shirt.
Food: Like I said...she is a junk food addict.....so she like chocolate cake, fudge, M&M's, Crunch bars and most kinds of chips. She also love pizza (But she only likes Pepperoni, Sausage and Cheese), Hamburgers/Cheeseburgers, Chicken Sandwiches (the fried kind), Italian beef sandwiches and Meatball Sandwichs. She's not a big healthfood nut....but she does like some healthy foods like Apples and Oranges. She can't stand salads anymore after a bowel episode that was caused by a Spicy Popcorn Chicken Salad when she was with her mom for a doctor visit (Which she didn't know the Popcorn Chickan was Spicy!)

~Jewelz~ - April 9, 2007 10:02 PM (GMT)
Oh yes, I would certainly have to come back to be a part of this (!!!!)
Hello dearling, I'm so sorry to hear about your computer! What a bummer! Anyhow, I would absolutely love to be a part of your story, if you'll have me :) Here's my info just in case, hehe:
Name: Marianne Stuart
Age: 21
Occupation: Student/Intern at local newspaper
Rescuer/Survivor: survivour (or whatever works)
Religion (if any): Christian, Protestant (Presbyterian, to be more specific, but grew up around PKs so chances are that her beliefs don't really go along with any set denomination...hmmm...)
Biggest fear: Heights (simple, but useful :))
Family (and relationship with them): Older brother named Thomas, younger sister named Meg- both of which she is very close to, but does not live with while away at school. Her parents are still together, and she cares for them of course, but her siblings are those she's closest to (Thomas: kind of like Mr Darcy, quiet but loyal, brown curly hair, the same bright blue eyes as Marianne. Meg has long, curly red hair like her sister, but brown eyes. She's also thinner and more tomboyish than her sister)
Personal discription: She's rather shy and quiet, but only because she's far too facinated with watching people. Every now and then she'll have something to say that is unusally well thought out, mostly because she doesn't bother to waste her breath with pointless, silence filling conversation. This tends to make people uncomfortable, but she makes up for it by being an attentive listener and eager to do what she can to help others. On the other hand, she finds tedious conversation trying on her nerves (though she'd hardly be willing to act on her annoyance), and has been known to burst into a passionate rambling about things such as music, literature, art, philosophy, theology, etc. Like her elder brother she is intensely loyal and therefore very attached to her siblings and anyone else she loves. Still, there's a darkness to her personality that sometimes comes out through her writing and fear of heights (for it's not as if she doesn't love to climb up things, but after realizing how easy it would be to slip and crash at the bottom of something, she becomes a trembling mess until she's something she trusts to put a hand on for safety, etc). Is that enough, or should I ramble on? Hehe... (she also has a quick wit that comes out in when she does choose to speak, but is almost always present in her looks/eyes, though she'll hide it to save some people's feelings)
Physical discription: height: 5'7" weight: 120 build: thin, but feminine hair: reddish, brownish, blondish...yea. eyes: grey-blue with a darker rim around the outside of the iris and shard-like (white and ocean blue) for the inner part of the iris (complicated, I know, sorry, haha). She also has fair skin and freckles (think Irish/Scottish ancestry)
Which men would you want to see in this story: James McAvoy, please :D But I wouldn't mind at all if Billy, Dom and Christian Bale showed up as well, hehe...
Job: Doesn't this go under occupation? Er... she's studying English Literature in college (her third year at a private four-year American University, West Coast). Her internship consists mostly of editing, making coffee, laying out pages- whatever odd job they need her to do at the time.
Anything important to your character (Talismans or habits): Usually her hair is blowdryed straight and worn down, but it gets curly when wet, and she pulls it up in a clip or ponitail whenever she has to concentrate on anything. She chews her nails (but doesn't actually bite them), hums quietly to herself a lot of the time, chews her lip when she's nervous, bits it when she's unsure, rocks back and forth on her feet when impaitient or uncomfortable. And now and then she'll forget that she's evesdropping/overhearing a conversation and break in with her own input without stopping to realize that she wasn't actually part of the conversation. She wears a tiny, heart shaped locket necklace with a tiny piece of paper folded up and tucked inside (you can decide what's on it, hehe) and a gold ring with a tiny diamond on her left ring finger (purity ring). Oh, and she's almost always got some sort of novel with her.
Tastes (Music, style, foods etc.): Bands like Iron and Wine, Caedmon's Call, Jars of Clay, Imogen Heap, Regina Spektor. She also loves piano music (it reminds her of her mother, who used to play piano all the time when Marianne was little). Her favourite food type is Italian, but her favourite food is strawberries (though she also loves peanut butter and peppermint, only not together. Well...hmmm...). Usually she wears cute jeans and blouses or tee-shirts, but she loves to dress in pretty sundresses now and then, just for fun. She loves JD Salinger, Jane Austen, Oscar Wilde, John Ashbery, Gary Snyder, Alan Ginsberg, and various other novelists/playwrites/poets.
Banner person: Rachel McAdams

Hey darling,
Well let's see what I can come up with. It probably will take me some time to fill it all in - but I usually get there in the end
Name: Genevra
Age: 28
Occupation at the time of the earthquake: Journalist
Rescuer/Survivor Rescuer
Religion (if any): Pagan
Biggest fear: Being hurt so I never open up to anyone
Family (and relationship with them): I travel a lot and I haven't seen my family in the last 10 years. My parents are sweet but overly concerned about me because I never stay anywhere for very long. I am restless and never let anyone in. Not even my twinsister who calls me every week. She tells me everything about herself and I never tell her anything about myself. Besides a twinsister I have 2 older sisters who are both married and with whom I never get along. I have one older brother (Johnny or Orlando maybe - either would be nice) He is the only one I ever talk to if I really need help and I have one younger brother who is the baby of the family - a horrible spoiled brat.
Personal discription: Sarcasm is practically my middle name. I am very detached and I have been trying to avoid getting personally involved with anything and anyone for a long time. I have a couple of scars on my body from a fire that burned down our house when I was young (it was set on fire on purpose because my father was an important political figure). I had a boyfriend but he left me when he saw the scars and when i was younger I was bullied on school because of them. I have little trust in people and build up a wall around me. I care deeply about the enviroment and I'm involved in an organisation who has been trying to raise awareness. I would do anything for the few people I love. I am deeply loyal and underneath that harsh exterior there is a sweet person who feels lonely and wants to be loved - though she dnies this herself. I am trustworthy and a good listener and people find it easy to tell me things.
Physical discription:Short black hair, green eyes and a pale skin with some freckles. Full lips and when I smile I have a dimple in my cheek. I am not very tall (1.66) and normally build. On my left upperarm I have a small tattoo of a flame.
Wich men would you want to see in this story: Stuart, Johnny, Elijah, Orlando, Wentworth
Job (Be specific, I f you want to be a doctor what is your field of expertise and such): I am a hardcore journalist. Chasing news is my job and I never get personally involved. I have seen it all so I won't break down easily. I do tv and newspapers. I work 16 hours every day and I have no social life to speak of. My appartment looks virtually unlived in but it is not dirty or messy.
Anything important to your character (Talismans or habits): I always carry pen and paper with me and when I am nervous I tend to chew on my pen. I always wear a necklace with a pentagram and I never take it of. I got it from my older brother for my 18 birthday and to me it stands for everything I value.

Dear Ladies...
I have noticed that some people haven't completed the information yet. I f you are one of them or if there is still something you want to change, please do. In a short while I want to start making my character list.
Love, Moon
Airefeaiel - June 3, 2007 03:31 PM (GMT)
I suppose there's no way I might be able to take part in this since i'm horribly late as usual, haha. :(
Skilos - June 3, 2007 03:33 PM (GMT)
No worries...
I am still working out the plotlines and characters, so if you'd like I could still have you in the story... Just fill out the forms
Airefeaiel - June 3, 2007 03:58 PM (GMT)
oooh, thank you! I've always wanted to be in one of your fics, haha.
Name: Nathalie Champeau
Age: 25
Occupation at the time of the earthquake: Journalist
Rescuer/Survivor: Survivor
Religion (if any): Catholic
Biggest fear: Dying without having felt love.
Family (and relationship with them): Orphaned at seven, she was cared for by her mother's best friend who passed away two years prior, leaving her everything.
Personal description: Witty, very intelligent, yet incredibly sarcastic when it comes down to it, she is fiercely independent because all her experiences have forced her to survive, push forward without anybody's help. This is her downfall, and the obstacle for her falling in love because she doesn't trust easily. She sees people as commodities because she's married to her work, she doesn't form relationships because she knows people can be snatched away as quickly as they come.
Physical description: A little above average height, slender, naturally a blonde though she likes to die it a rich brown, green-grey eyes, cat-like.
Which men would you want to see in this story: CHRISTIAN BALE, PLEASE or Hugh Dancy.
Job: A celebrity journalist for a very successful French magazine. Her job is to interview tinseltown residents, spin false rumours to sell magazines and organise after-parties. She wishes to run her own publication in which she can write about world issues, and things that appeal to her intelligence. because despite the fact that her job earns her a lot of money, her conscience isn't so well looked after and she is constantly searching for something that's more fulfilling.
Anything important to your character (Talismans or habits): She's a chainsmoker, and wears a crucifix. The chain is long, and the crucifix usually hidden because her boss is against anything that promotes religion. She speaks with a worldly accent.
Tastes (Music, style, foods etc.): Music: She likes the oldies, Elvis, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, anything with old school rock, and psychedelic sounds that remind her of the 60's. She will listen to anything, but avoids rap and country.
Style: She lives in custom, tailor made suits, usually a pant and jacket ensemble, with a shirt unbuttoned enough to expose her collarbone. Though her style is very high maintenance when she is working, she likes to chill out in pyjamas or footless tights teamed with old band t-shirts.
Food: Adores pasta, and anything that goes down well with a bottle of red.
Banner person: Sienna Miller (brunette, I can provide photographs) or Eva Green.
canada_vixen - June 10, 2007 03:21 AM (GMT)
Name: Parker Mason
Age: 20
Occupation at the time of the earthquake: Dance Student
Rescuer/Survivor: Survivor, but whatever is cool
Religion (if any): Catholic
Biggest fear:Being forgotten
Family (and relationship with them): Resented by her parents because she chose to study dance instead of law. Her sister Alexis, who is 4 years older, is far more attractive and intelligent than Parker (or so the latter thinks), so they're not that close either. The family member who she is closest to was her oldest brother, Alex, who died in a car accident the year before.
Personal discription: Is known as a loner, especially after Alex died. Doesn't have many friends, but she is known among them as a caring and giving person. Doesn't have much self-esteem and comfort except when she's on stage. She's all about dancing.

Wich men would you want to see in this story: Orlando, Jared Leto, Dom, Robert Pattinson, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers
Job (Be specific, If you want to be a doctor what is your field of expertise and such): Studies in Ballet. She wishes to enter in a prestigious dance company in Europe. She is among the best dancers in her class, but doesn't intend to be the best. She just goes with the flow.
Anything important to your character (Talismans or habits):Wears her brother's dog tag around her neck except when she's dancing.
Tastes (Music, style, foods etc.):Likes any kind of food, though she tries to eat healthy. Her favorite food is Thai and Italian. As for style, when she's not dancing, she's a t-shirt-and-jeans kind of girl. Wears very little make-up except for the occasional eyeliner and mascara. As far as music is concerned, she likes listening to people like Goldfrapp and Chantal Kreviazuk; she also loves classical music.
Banner person: Liya Kebede (I can provide pics if you can't find any)

I haven't forgotten this, but life is getting in the way! Still writing and still throwing drafts away.
When i finally have means to start posting stories again I'l give you a huge big explanation.
Loads of Love!

Skilos - March 2, 2008 04:23 PM (GMT)
:noangel: People, I have seen that some of the character descriptions are almost a year old. I more than anything else realize a lot can change in a year so if you are tempted to change something please do so
before I start posting I will send everybody a PM if they still want to be in. If there is no reaction I will probably make a desicion myself.
I will also post a quick and more detailed summary for the story in this section. That way you can get a glimpse of your storyline.
People will get killed of in this story for the sake of the survival theme, so don't get angry if your character ends up dieing a gruesome death :noangel:
Questions...? (smile)
canada_vixen - March 4, 2008 04:20 AM (GMT)
Well, I just reviewed my character description... I think I'll let it be the same, because I'm boring :lol:
Can't wait to read it! *secretly hopes she won't die a gruesome death*
Mena - March 4, 2008 05:35 PM (GMT)
I re read my profile and I think I'll leave it the way it is. I've never been a carpenter and I still think it's cool, and as for crushes, my loves come in riddles and come back at regular intervals of time. :-) As for the gruesome death, well... I killed characters too, I know you can't save everybody, and if it happens to mine, I'll understand. BUT I won't like I won't like it... one of the reasons why i read stories is that I'm curious about my character... not the only reason, and I'm not so shallow to say I'd quit reading, but it'd be disappointing. :-)
Still, you're the author, ma'am, and I trust you. Don't kill me, but if you really have to, give me the coolest death scene ever! :yes:
Ithil'Quessir - March 4, 2008 10:32 PM (GMT)
LOL well only things that have changed for me is that I shifted from the eternal ponytail to something more modern - just have it down, parting a bit left from the centre - and I've actually developed an interest in another linguistic field (language acquisition is blah, syntax all the way baby!), but if I'd try and explain to you what I'd like to (am going to!) research I'd have to expain too much so I'll leave that as it is ;-)
LizzieLij21 - March 11, 2008 10:53 PM (GMT)
I changed a few things too, like her habits and age because I felt like it wasn't exactly right (for some odd reason).
Airefeaiel - April 4, 2008 01:23 PM (GMT)
A few things altered for me, but nothing too drastic I hope. I don't mind if she dies! I just can't wait to read the story!
:heartbeat: Pat
