The plane crashed, a family mourned for the loss of their loved one. One family in particular, is notable. The Ruthel family, a lower-middle class family. Jonas Ruthel, the father was on the plane, and died in the crash. The Ruthel's need for Jonas was remarkable, as he was the only one in the family able to get a job. And so they bargained and wished for him to come back, and it was granted, with a price.
The Ruthel family must prevent Jonas from getting on the plane, while he is wistfully unaware that he had died. The family has until 9 PM, when he boards he plane, to save him. If they succeed, they will keep being able to live their lived in peace and harmony, if they fail, they must relive the day and try to save him again, with the cycle continuing.
I, the GM, will control Jonas Ruthel's actions during the day, you, the players, will be the family. The game will be a race against time, as I am Jonas, each time I post will count as one hour game time. You, the family, has to try and do all that you can to prevent him from entering the plane.
For now, we need the main family, his wife, daughter, son, his parents and two close family friends to start the game, others may join later on, if it can fit into the story well.
Name: Jonas Ruthel
Age: 31
Relation: Father
Gender: Male
Personality: Though strict and mean at times, he cares for his family. As the only working man, he's stressed to the max, and often times blows up without rhyme or reason, often apologizing a few seconds later.
Appearance: Red hair, with dark brown eyes. Naturally tall, with both large hands and feet. Tends to dress in suits.
Player: FenrirDarkWolf
Name: Julianna Graves
Age: 30
Relation: Old college friend, now a close family friend
Gender: Female
Personality: Julianna is a bright, bubbly, extra-vivacious person -- a persona that hides a lot of strain, stress, and anxiety due to working three jobs to support a young daughter as a single mother. She always likes helping out and is incredibly supportive of her friends, but her friendship with Jonas and his family is pretty much the only thing keeping her going at this point. She relies on them to keep her sane so that she doesn't break and end up calling her horrible, loser ex-husband. She is fun and enthusiastic.
Appearance: Long wavy brown hair, light grey-blue eyes, average height, curvy build, high cheekbones.
Player: paradoxinparticles
Name: Kyle Heathers
Age: 29
Relation: Close Friend
Gender: Male
Personality: Calm and relaxed, just like it's normal for a hobby-programmer without any responsibilities.
Appearance: Blond, short hair, green eyes. Always wears an old T-Shirt with a 1-up Mushroom on it.
Player: Mick

Buddy, I have an interest in this.
But a couple of questions concerning the story so I can confirm if I want to join.
One, how exactly will the game play?
Two, who did the Ruthels' bargain with exactly?
Three, can we get a physical description of Jonas? I'm considering being one of the children, so some family heritage might help in design.

Whom the Ruthels' actually bargained with, it was a god-like deity of some sort, the character's not actually too relevant to the story, but, whatever.

That's a reaaally interesting idea and though I don't like RPs that much, I'm probably signing up. If not, I'm watching the first round and make my decision afterwards.

Sorry, Awesome, I doubt you'll get much luck with this RP. Last post before yours was in September of 2012. This was one that never got off the ground and just never really returned...
