We all go about our business in life, interacting only with those we’re forced into contact with. The same pattern persists every day, unchanging, monotonous. But what if fate intervened? Sometimes in life, things happen for no logical reason. There are inexplicable events that change our path in huge ways, and more importantly, change who we are as people.
We were all just strangers, trying to get by; headed onto a plane to fulfill whatever was the next tiny stitch in the pattern of our lives. None of us knew each other, at least, not in a personal way. We might have seen each other here and there, in the airport, on the streets, never really committing faces to memory. We meant nothing to each other then, because we had no reason to interact. No one else on that plane was a part of life, except for those we were traveling with, and so up until that point we didn’t matter to each other. Our conversations were nothing but white noise to pass the time until we landed at our destination, at which time we’d probably never speak or see each other again. At least, that was what we expected. But what really happened changed our perspective entirely.
We never made it back to Los Angeles. Instead, our plane plummeted from the sky practically before we knew what was happening. We became stranded on an island that we could make neither heads nor tails of, with no contact to the outside world and rapidly dissolving hopes for rescue. But we weren’t the only ones stuck on that island. There were others like us, stranded there, just wanting to get home. And then there was a group of people we didn’t even know existed for a while, who had a completely different agenda.
But regardless of what we would face on that island, the question remained: why were we there? Some said that it was mere coincidence, but others aren’t so sure. Because some of us believe that there is a greater motivator than coincidence. There we were, a plane full of strangers who knew nothing about one another. But now, we live together, survive together. We have been drawn together by a force that plays the greatest hand in directing our lives. We are the Fated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Fated is a semi-canon roleplay based on the television show Lost. The canon characters will be available for use, as well as original characters. However, we will differ from the show in that our plot on the island will not be the same. There will be no separate tail and fuselage sections. There will also be another group of castaways on the island that were there before the crash of Flight 815. Everyone is free to reinvent the story of their character on the island and how they interact and survive there.
