AN- Well I finally decided to get started on my Maze Runner SYOC w. I have a really good plot in mind so I hope everyone that submits enjoys it!

-Brief Prologue-

Before the world turned to ruin and the sun flares wrecked havoc upon the earth a powerful organization called F.U.R.Y began a complex experiment involving testing the survival instinct in young adults. They went about collecting data on teens that they saw had potential, strength, smarts and most importantly, strong wills. Of course these young men and women didn't sign up for these awful series of tests. F.U.R.Y took advantage of their high standing in the world and took the teenagers by force. They didn't even give the families any warning of their intentions of stealing away their children. They stormed into their homes, restrained the stunned family and made them watch as they took away their precious kids while they screamed in protest.

They were than taken to the place where they would begin their tests. A place far far away from their homes. A place where they could never be found.

F.U.R.Y had everything set up perfectly. Each test would push the teens to their limits and they would see just how far they would be willing to go in order to stay alive.

Yet just as the experiment was put into motion the sun flares suddenly struck and caused the scientist to abandon their project and leave their subjects behind to die so they could flee to safety.

That organization quickly threw aside their old plans and name and became W.I.C.K.E.D, dedicating their lives to saving humanity and finding a cure for the vicious sickness known as the Flare.

In the back of their minds they still constantly thought about the old experiment they had left behind and wondered how it would of played out if the world hadn't fallen into chaos. Or what fate had befallen the teens.

They were most certainly dead by now.

There was no way they could still be alive.

No one could have survived that earthquake.

Not where they had been.

…

…

…...Or could they…?

RULES & NOTES

1. NO flawless characters, everyone has flaws one way or another.

2. You are aloud to submit 2 characters at the most but there is no guarantee that I will choose all three of them, it depends on how many people are submitting. Please send submission through PM!

3. I am most likely going to take in about 10-15 characters.

4. Put detail into your character. I don't wanna see a submission with hastily written out information. Be creative! This is gonna be a long running story so I'm gonna need all the info I can get on your character, even the little things I can use in this story. Plus an interesting submission with detail and innovation will give you a greater chance of getting a main role in this story. (I adore creativity)

5. Please note this story may be quite gruesome and have strong language at some points so fair warning.

6. The original characters of The Maze Runner will not be appearing in this story so please don't include them as family members, friends or love interests in your submission (sorry).

7. Since I want you guys to be a part of this story as much as possible I'm going to have some chapters that are left on cliff hangers when something important is happening and at the end of that chapter I will leave 2 (or more) options for all you guys to vote on how the story proceeds. Which ever option gets the most votes will come true, but be careful! Whichever one you choose has both bad and good outcomes for the characters and plot so think carefully before you choose. This story is similar to that of a maze (Wink wink) the path you choose could lead to a dead end (death) an even greater obstacle (a new enemy) or could lead to a way out (victory).

Also, I'm going to leave small cliff hangers with individual characters in which the outcome for them can only be decided by their owners. If I leave your character in that situation I will ask you in the authors note with a handful of options, you pick the one you want and than PM me with it and it will come true.

8. Lastly never be afraid to ask me questions about the story or anything concerning your character. If you don't like how I'm expressing them in the story or If I had them do something they definitely wouldn't do, let me know. I don't mind going back and changing something I got wrong in a previous chapter, it's your character and I want you to enjoy the story as much as possible.
