Hello Everybody, and thank you for clicking on my SYOC!
So this SYOC is pretty original... I think, and I'm hoping you guys find it pretty interesting. Let me start off with a little summary:
There were... complications with group B. An "accidental" fire got out of control and ripped through more than half the population before they even began exiting the Maze. The girls are no longer an even match for Glade A and so WICKED needed another competitor to test the ability of the Gladers in Glade A. That's where the Vultures come in. The Vultures have been living off of the resources in the Scorch for 6 years, since they were children, and each one of them has something that WICKED wants. Each of them have survived the Flare. Pretty much all of the OCs will have a similar backstory, they grew up together at WICKED, most of them came around 7. They were part of a failed experiment, when WICKED found out they survived the Flare, they took them into their headquarters and ran test on them for years. When nothing showed them how the kids had survived the Flare, WICKED dumped them in the Scorch. WICKED left them to die, and yet now they need them.
Ok so that's the basic premise of the story. I need 10-12 teens. Now for the rules:
1) Not a rule, but I wanted to let everyone know that I will be submitting my own OC. I don't want to upset anyone or make people mad, but it makes me more invested in the story when one of my own characters is part of it.
2) I will take the same number of boys and girls, you can submit as many as you want, but if there are only 3 boys there will only be 3 girls. Plus your characters can't be in a relationship, but they can be related. However I will probably only take one set of siblings.
3) Surviving the Flare has taken a toll on all of the teens, each one of them has a sort of mutation but nothing major. For example their hair could've gotten a white streak, they are deaf in one ear, or maybe their finger nails turned black. It isn't a large mutation like growing anther arm or having pink hair.
4) Please use diversity, I don't want 5 girls with a bad ass attitude or 5 guys who are overly protective.
5) Follow the form, I'll put it on my profile, and I'd prefer PM
6) Try to give your OC a nickname that has to do with their personality or appearance or something.
7) Not every OC has a specific job, but try to think of a job that you're OC could have in the group. For example Leader, Second in command, scout, chef etc.
8) No one's perfect, so don't make your OC perfect, I want weaknesses and diverse strengths, not predictable or common strengths
9) The Gladers will be in this story, so your character can be related to them, but they can't be in a relationship with them. I want some diversity in the thoughts about the boys. People should have other thoughts other than just "They like newt, they are sarcastic with Minho, they are kind with Thomas". Teresa will not be in the story.
10) I will be excepting one WICKED "spy", some one who travels with the boys but works for WICKED, like Brenda. This person (most likely girl) can end up on the Gladers side.
