THE ISLAND
![[image]](http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f238/ninjagerbil23/map1.jpg)
Located somewhere in the Pacific Ocean lies the island that was once home to the Dharma Initiative. Now abandoned by the Initiative the island is the home of a mysterious group of people led by an even more mysterious figure named Jacob. Recently the island has become the home of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815.
Geographically the island has a distinct coastline that is made up of mostly beach but also several rocky ocean fronts that can be difficult to maneuver and a few steep cliffs that drop off into the ocean. There are two major mountain ranges on the island, an east range and a west range. The valley between these two ranges consists of forest with many lakes and a few rivers. At the southern most tip of the west range is a volcanic crater. The majority of the island is composed of forest. There are a few plateaus and cliffs on the inland as well as many clearings. There is a small satellite island to the south south east of the island.

THE DHARMA INITIATIVE Department of Heuristics And Research on Material Applications Initiative
The DHARMA Initiative was a one time research project present on the island. Following the purge most of its members on the island were wiped out. Despite the Initiative's lack of current prescence on the island their work stations still remain and most have fallen into the hands of the Others.

FLASHBACKS
Every character can have flashbacks in order to reveal more about their history and life before the island. However, on the show flashbacks many flashbacks for one character are very rare, therefore we do have a few guidelines for flashbacks on this site.
1. In order to make flashback posts more rare you will only be allowed to post one flashback for every 15 posts you make as that character. This is according to your overall post count, not just in game posts. This rule applies regardless of whether you are starting your own flashback thread or replying to another persons. Violators will have their posts deleted.
2. You may RP as other people who appear in your character's flashbacks but only if that person is not a character on this site. In other words, if your character has a best friend who appears in their flashback you can RP as that friend so long as no one else plays that character on this site.
3. If you want to make a connection to another character on the site within a flashback discuss it with that person first. Furthermore you may reply to a character's flashback but only if you have permission from the player. If you post a flashback and do not want anyone to respond to it please make a note of it in the subject line of your post. A simple <<closed>> will suffice.
4. All flashbacks must be started in the flashback board. Create a new thread for each flashback and put the date that the thread takes place in and your character name as the subject line. For example: <<April 30, 2004 ;; Ben>>. If you reply to a flashback please add your characters name to the subject line, using the example above it should appear similar to <<April 30, 2004 ;; Ben, Juliet>>.
If you have any questions regarding flashbacks do not hesitate to contact an admin. These rules are subject to change if deemed appropriate by the admins.
