Enter the Complex

You wake up in a pitch black room. You reach around but can't find anything. The only thing that you know for certain is that the floor beneath you is solid. That at least gives you some comfort. Suddenly, there is a loud scraping sound coming from in front of you. It sounds like stone rumbling apart. Two sections of the wall open, and you are dazzled by blinding sunlight. Squinting, you emerge into the unknown.
The unknown turns out to be a thick, mossy forest, with ancient looking stone ruins scattered here and there. You sit down to think on one of them for a while and notice that you are wearing a dark green jumpsuit with brown cuffs on the sleeves, collar, and end of the pants. The jumpsuit has a zipper on it for taking the clothes on and off. A black belt is buckled around your waist, and is equipped with several pouches of various sizes.
Just as you reach into one of the pouches to see what's inside, you hear a rustling. You look up, straight into the eyes of a girl who is pointing a razor sharp arrow at your forehead. "Don't move," she says threateningly. "You're surrounded." You don't see anyone else, but you aren't about to turn around to see. "Give me your slip," the girl says. You look at her, confused. "In your left pocket," she explains, rolling her eyes. "And don't you even think about trying any funny business."
You reach into your left pocket and pull out a white slip of paper, folded in half. As quick as a flash, the arrow is back in the quiver on the girl's back and she's holding the paper. She unfolds it and looks at it for a moment, then hands it back to you. "Is that you?" she asks. "Yes, at least, I think so," you say. That's when it clicks. You can't remember anything but your first name.
The girl slings her bow over her shoulder and pulls you up off the rock with surprising strength. "I'm Petra," she explains, tapping a brown patch that's sewn onto the chest of her jumpsuit, just above her heart. You see that it says, in gold lettering,

Petra 0012057
Age: 13 Gender: female

You look down at yourself and notice that you have a similar patch, with your name, age, gender, and a seven-letter number printed on it. "What is this place?" you ask Petra. She laughs. "Around here," she says, "we like to call it the Labyrinth."

  2. Name: Jason
    Age*: 13
    Gender: Male
    Physical Description: Jason is an average-height, Korean 13-year-old with messy dark brown hair and dark brown eyes.
    Personality: Jason regards people indifferently, showing a bit of his bratty side. He argues with many people, being short-tempered and all. Although he ignores many people, he can be kind when he wants to. He has a mysterious attitude, but he usually opens up to people, as long as he gains trust in them. Otherwise, he can be really fun to be around.

  3. Name: Chana
    Age*: 12
    Gender: Female
    Physical Description: A brunette with soft brown eyes and a dazzling smile.
    Personality: Don't mistake her for being sweet and innocent- she's the exact opposite. Chana's probably the scariest 12 year old you'll ever meet; she's violent, she's fierce, she's dangerous, and she has a craving for anything... risky in life. If you do something normal, she'll do it to the extreme. Swim in a pool, she'll swim in the Angel Falls. Ride a bike, she'll drive a Harley off a cliff. Somehow she manages to survive, which is her greatest talent- though she can get overboard with things, Chana always gets by perfectly fine, almost always without a single scratch. She has a hot temper that can snap easily.
    Health**: Has ADHD

  4. Name: Kurai
    Age: 13
    Gender: Male
    Physical Description: A tall, lanky dark-haired boy with black eyes and a gaunt look. He looks European but has a Japanese name, so he can only assume that he's half English half Japanese since he finds that he speaks with a British accent.
    Personality: Silent, brooding, and currently the oldest person in the Labyrinth, as he was sent in one day before his 14th birthday. He doesn't like it much, feeling as if everybody else is different from him. Kurai means "dark" in Japanese, and he has no idea how he knows that but he knows that it fits him well. Nobody really knows his personality because he never shows it or talks much, but when prompted he will reply in short, curt sentences. Kurai spends his time crafting weapons with a whetstone. When taunted or tempted, he just ignores them and lets it go. If he actually says anything back or does anything it's usually quick and deadly, meaning he's really angry.
    Health**: Nothing that he knows of.

  5. Okay, everything is fine except for you have to remember that these children have no memory outside of the Labyrinth except for their first name. So Jason can be Korean, Chana can ride Harleys and swim in Angel Lake, and Kurai can be Japanese-English, but they just can't remember any of it. I will put them up ASAP, but tell me if there's anything you want to change.

    Thanks for joining!

  6. Okay, I know that and I'm fine with all of that. Oh yeah, but I just assumed that Kurai would know what Japan and England were.

  11. Name: Sage
    Age: 12
    Gender: Female
    Physical Description: Sage is like a ghost - small, pale, and as quiet as a whisper. She has a sharp face and stormy gray eyes, with light carmel colored hair that falls halfway down her back.
    Personality: Sage is a quick learner, always curious about her environment and the people around her. But she prefers to do the seeing without being seen. Having her as an ally could be either good or bad, because Sage knows how to pick the winning side. And when she's not on it, all she has to do is slip away . . . . Sometimes she has strange dreams in times of trouble that can be confusing, but sometimes, insightful.
    Health: Mute since birth
