[This rp is a modernization/generalization of Dante's Inferno. This rp must be kept small, but must have rp'ers who can post on a regular basis of at least every other day.]

The characters are going to start out traversing the streets of whatever city that they originate from.
The time of day will be 3 AM'ish.
The reason they are out so late is because they are out to get some fresh air after something traumatic occured either that night, or recently, and they are using the walk as a temporary escape.
Soon they get lost in the streets, and realize that they are no longer surrounded my any signs of life, but soon encounter each other. Searching for a way back to where they were, not even sure if this is even the same city they were just in, they find that they are closed off from the world, either by smashed cars blocking the path as far as the eye can see, electric fences, or worse. The only possible way out they find, is a pair of stairs that look like they lead into a subway station. But the name of the street or station on the sign above them has been spray painted over with: "ABANDoN ALL HopE ALL yEE wHo ENtER HERE"

Sex:
Description:
Items currently being held on your person: [if you have a weapon, give a VERY good reason....Other than protection. If protection is the excuse you would use for your character type, then you can only recieve a non-lethal self defensive item. Such as a tazer, mace, or flip-out switch-blade. Just because you will encounter strange things, doesn't mean such things would not work against them. But if, for example, said monster has a lack of eyes, then mace obviously wouldn't work. So choose wisely, but don't count out mace entirely just because i gave that previous example. Other items may be rendered useless in other situation as well.]
Interesting quirk or habit: [nothing too weird please]

Thank you, I will try not to disapoint. I have many ideas for what's to come.

Well...that's one...Once you get trapped in what used to be "the darkwood" in the beginning of the game, if any player is asked, or tries to remember what it was they did that made them end up there, you will find yourselves unable to remember. [It will come back to you as you traverse the path back home]

In the original story of the inferno, Dante traveled lost in the darkwood for a long time, until he was confronted by 3 beasts. A leopard, representing sins categorized by deciet and lies. The Lion represented sins of Violence and malice. Finally the she-wolf, represented sins of the flesh. Thought that little tid bit might be interesting, so you can understand the point behind the street thugs who have attacked Matt. There is ALOT more symbols in my second post in the rp, but it would take too long to explain them all.
Besides, I think they are kinda obvious anyways.
