Hello! Welcome to ABDUCTED, a Mystery-themed adventure roleplay. Presumably there will be several different stages of story development, and they will be revealed as the roleplay progresses, but the first part will be a series of mental tests administered to the players by the aliens. There isn't much more to say at the moment, so let's get to the rules.
When making a character, keep in mind that it is a normal human, but beyond that, let your imagination run free with their age, occupation, personality and biography. Keep in mind that all of these things will effect some of the situations your character will find themselves in. Also, as suggested by Barryonix17, characters could have been abducted up to 200 years ago.
Continuity (Respect the posts of other users and keep with the timeline)
Keep everything appropriate
Use proper Grammar and Spelling as much as possible
Write out-of-story posts inside double brackets ((Exampley example which is so interesting you just have to read it!))
Realism (Oh look! I am magical! I fly upside down with my totally existing wings! = NO)

3. You said what he worked on, but not where he worked. Was he self employed? Did he work from home? At an office?
It's great that we have another roleplayer! We'll wait for Sancronis and then the roleplay will begin!))
yes he is self employed he works where he wants to work and Dawn is a kind (yet kinda annoying) gal that is a teacher at a high school.
jack is a everyone loves him kinda guy and loves to help people he loves animals (well not spiders) and has a great time (well not when hes running for his life in a alien mother-ship)
Dog was restless tonight, something was bugging him. Jesse noted this and sat up from his blankets. Under the skies of the outback he had made a fire and short term campsite. They were near the golden coast of Australia, the trees were becoming thicker and it felt as if something was watching them every night, an unseen nightmare stalking them for weeks on end. "You spooked to?" Jesse asked Dog, even if only to make a sound. He looked to the stars. Even when the earth was dark, he gazed to the stars, the one thing man could never touch. He wished he was a bird, being able to fly up and to the light, having the freedom to soar to the stars. He imagined it, then went to sleep.
He began the long ride to town that morning at five, darkness was still about...

((Alright, we'll wait a day or so more before beginning the fun part. For now I'll write a bit more about the Abductions))
Everyone has heard the stories.
Ships, shaped like a frisbee, flying across the night's sky. Disappearing in the blink of an eye, and the observers being ridiculed forever more.
Everyone has heard the stories.
Strange messages, appearing on obscure frequencies, and making no sense whatsoever to the human mind.
Everyone has heard the stories.
Time, disappearing out of nowhere. One second, a man is driving his car. He looks back at his clock a minute later and 3 hours have passed. Is driving really so exciting that the time flies by?
But have you heard the truth?
The ships aren't actually shaped like a frisbee. They fly in the night because without sunlight, they are nearly invisible, except when a laser or flashlight hits them. Occasionally, ships do fly in the day, but abductions never take place when the sun is out. The ships are lightning fast - When they need to be.
The Truth.
These messages aren't meant for human minds. Occasionally, due to technological glitches, UFO's broadcast messages on a radio frequency observable by human instruments. The messages come through as gibberish when they come through at all.
The Truth.
These incidents only occur when an abductee is deemed unsuitable for the Program, and is then returned to their previous life. No apologies are included, but you can get a complimentary breakfast.
The Truth.
For hundreds of years a race of aliens has been observing Humanity.
((^That was good, I almost wish there was a way to have the X-Files play every time I click the thread. ))
((This was inspired from an episode of the X-Files, but I can't remember which one. Oh well, it doesn't look like anyone else will be showing up, so I guess we'll get started soon. A sincere thank you to everyone who responded to the poll!))
Two - ...beings - sit in a room. The arrays of controls and displays around them blink with the light. Some substances reflect these lights again, creating a very vivid scene. One of the beings, shrouded in darkness, begins to speak.
"You know it is time," the being says in his alien tongue. The other responds in turn:
"We can still wait longer. There is more that we can do with the Program."
"We've waited long enough. They want us to stop stalling."
"They have no place meddling with this. 200 Years! That's how long it has been. We have over 500 subjects, and They won't touch any of them."
"They're sending someone."
"Let them try."
"They are going to take away the Program unless we get committed and start showing some results, Koram." There was silence for a few seconds, as the two beings contemplated those words. Then the second speaker, now using a grave tone, responded:
"Is everything prepared?"
"We can begin the tests as soon as we want to."
"Fine. You can start. But if the Program has any flaw, you're going to take the fall, not me."
"If the Program has a flaw, we'll fix it. I'll go give the order."
1875...
A flash of bright light, and then darkness. Jesse knew that something had been wrong from the moment Dog started barking. Jesse knew it, but now he was gone. He was abducted.
Today, in Testing Room 47...
For the first time in over a century, a man opened his eyes. Jesse. The name flashed through his thoughts, but he had no idea what it meant. What... What was going on? Using some impulse from the back of his brain, the man tried to open his eyes, finding that after so many years, they were very difficult to operate. He did not know this, though, and so as he opened his eyes and grew accustomed to the scene of a mid-1800's American western town, he forgot his worries and assumed he had merely drifted off. But... He was standing? And wasn't he in Australia now? Around him sat the regular buildings. This town looked so familiar, it was as if his entire world was one huge episode of deja vu. One whole dream, but one vivid dream.
((I may add some characters if no one else decides to join, but for now, the Roleplay is Alive and You... Are... ABDUCTED))
The dust blew across town, but it wasn't hot, not Australia hot.
The first thing Jesse noted was that Dog was gone. He reaches for his guns, but they are not there. Something must have happened, he must have been robbed, but no man west of alice springs would dare rob Jesse, not unless it was an aboriginal, but these people he had been friends with. Or had he? It escaped him.
He found some coins in his pocket, but the governor's face was distorted. His forehead was too long, his eyes too large, something else was off to...
He walked, with surprising difficulty, towards the saloon. He felt like an old man. But he had little time to think of that, he opened the saloon doors to see just what sort of scene he would see.

The doors slammed open with a bang. Inside, the commotion of intoxicated patrons bounced across the walls, rebounding off the dirty tables and chairs. If the desolate exterior had shown one side of the town, this sight was of the complete opposite. An old man was sitting at the bar, drinking his tonic and gin. Another man, this one in his mid-30's, with a moustache and a blazier, was joking with the bar tender while they both lit their cigars from a lantern sitting on the edge of the counter. At one of the tables, there were three middle aged men being scolded by a woman, who made little effort to hide the gun holstered to her belt. It was a wonder any of the visitors could hear what their companions were saying.
Former Important Relationships: [/b]Alec Gilios, twin brother, Iona Gilios, mother, Irvin Gilios, father
Year Abducted: [/b]2015

Fears: [/b]Cryophobia, a fear of frost/cold, Sciophobia, a fear of shadows, potamophobia, a fear of running water.

Appearance: [/b]Shoulder length blond hair, piercing azure blue eyes. Wears casual and practical attire.
Biography: [/b]Ailsa was born in 2000 along with her twin brother Alec. They were very close until they were about 5, when they started to fight more and more. Eventually, they became very close again around the age 12. Ailsa has never had too many friends outside of school because her parents always kept her inside, afraid of her being exposed to the horrors of the outside world or catching a disease. Ailsa was abducted in 2015 and got severe Amnesia, remembering nothing but her name, basic skills, and twin brother Alec. The only reason she remembered Alec was because of how close she was to him at the time of her abduction.
