Ohio's Tunnels (Open!)

Hidden beneath the streets of Ohio is an organised mess of tunnels, chambers, tombs and secrets.
Why are they there? Nobody knows.
Who built them? Nobody knows that, either.
All anyone knows for sure about it is that the people that go down there don't come back. Or, if they do, they're taken straight to an asylum. Most people say it's from sunlight deprivation. But most of those people have children who would rather hole up inside the house than go and play outside.

One day, a rich, intelligent, extremely handsome psychologist by the name of Jemas Mecroly decided to propose a brilliant challenge. "The first person to travel into Ohio's Tunnels and come out the way they came in will win my entire fortune once I die," he said. "There will be a hole dug up to the surface for the winner to escape from. But there will also be traps set, clues to the hole, weapons distributed, and hunters posted. Just to keep the game… interesting." Of course, I immediately agreed to this genius idea.

All those willing to join the game must express their interest in the challenge before filling out the attached application letter and sending it to me for conformation. If I deem you worthy, you are permitted to enter.

Yours sincerely,
James McElroy
President of the United States of America

Name: Tallulah "Tallie" Dregard

Pronouns: she/her

Appearance (pic is fine): Tashi Rodriguez

Sexuality: Bisexual

Short backstory: Tallie comes from a big family, and has always felt she was in her brothers' and sisters' shadows. She views the challenge as something to finally prove her worth to her parents and earn their time and respect.

Reason for entering the challenge: The challenge of making it through the Tunnels. The cash is also a slight bonus.

Weapons: With her, she carries an AK-47 with a silencer attached. In case of an emergency, she also has a switchblade hidden in her boot.

Strengths: Naturally fits into the leadership role and is capable of making decisions for the group. She also takes on anything head-on, with a bit too much confidence.

Flaws: Makes rash decisions without thinking about it. She goes with her gut without a second thought. Tallie needs someone to keep her in check.

Other: n/a

Name: Ester "Star" Malone

Pronouns: She/her

Appearance: https://www.google.com/search?biw=1280&bih=743&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=upTPXde4H6qR4-EP5OyO6Ac&q=punziella&oq=punzi&gs_l=img.3.0.0i67l3j0l6j0i67.7410.8269..9916…0.0..0.263.1056.0j2j3……0….1..gws-wiz-img.ucKtDAasXo8#imgrc=oXzhg2jMUJl5qM: (obviously it would be without the uniform on)

Sexuality: Pansexual

Short backstory: Her mother has cancer and it was very close to her spinal cord. She recently underwent major surgery to remove the tumor, and Ester's father began to find it difficult to provide for both his wife and his daughter. Ester applied for the challenge without their knowledge with only one thought on her mind: I need to win this.

Reason for entering the challenge: To help provide for her family. The money is the only motivation.
Weapons: She has a gun that she hasn't quite learnt how to use yet that she keeps tucked into the waistband of her cargo pants. She also has two daggers, one of which is her dads, that are strapped to her thighs (one blade on each thigh).

Strengths: She's very good at following orders and getting people to trust her. She's also not too bad of a liar, either. The one thing that could get her mother to cheer up after a surgery was magic tricks, so Ester is a master at slight of hand.

Flaws: She's petrified of bones, which isn't the best considering the number of people that have died down in the tunnels. But more importantly, she's scared that her dad is going to loose both her and her mother.

Other: Ask her to do a card trick. Go on, you know you want to.
