Description:

Sleepers - A new PBEM experience

You open your eyes and register your surroundings. You recognize and name
everything in your mind: trees, cars, road, sky, stars, streetlights,
people. Early evening, feels to be about autumn. You are wearing a school
uniform, from a private school - St. Anne's you read on the blazer upside
down. You find your hands are in your pockets and you don't remember
putting your hands in your pockets. In fact, you don't remember coming to
this park and sitting down on this bench. You don't remember where you
were before that.

You pull your hands out and look down. 

Blood. Drying, darkening blood. Looks fairly recent.

Yours? No, you don't think you're injured. Nothing hurts.

Quickly, you stick your hands back in your pockets and look around.
Although there are many people milling around, no one seems to have
noticed you. 

With a sudden certainty, you realize that you don't know who you are.

---------------------------------

Intrigued?

In this PBEM, you play a character who is trying to put together your
identity after "waking up" one day to find you have forgotten everything.
Although this will eventually be a "group" PBEM, this will start off
one-on-one, obviously due to the oddness of the premise. 

All I need from you, the player, is the willingness to play a character
whose identity you know nothing about (because they know nothing about
it). 

- Your Name/Alias/Handle
- Please tell me your RPG history
- Submit a sample of your writing (from any previous PBEM or story, I also
accept essays from school)

Also, I will be allowing you to choose your physical appearance (hence,
gender) with the stipulation that characters are relatively young (14-18).
You may also decide your character's sexual orientation and other inherent
characteristics.

This is a mature game with mature theme - sex may be involved and violence
will definitely be involved. All *players* MUST be over 18 years of age.
