[ArcaneDreamer]

Full Name: Iris Ryder

Age: 19
Role (Choose from six): Messenger

Associated Color (Based on role): Light Grey

Skillset: Flexible, Fast, Parkour Skills, Adaptable

Background: Iris grew up in a mostly urban setting, where her friend group was mostly made up of parkour artists. Naturally, she ended up picking up the hobby as well - and though she isn't exactly a legend at it, she definitely qualifies as an expert. At some point, though, she began to wish for more excitement in her life... and that was when she found out about the mission to explore a 'forbidden island.' Sure, it was presented to her by the slightly more sketchy part of her family, but... eh. It's the excitement she's been looking for, and a potentially good story to share with her friends later! How bad could it be?
Registered Gear: Pocket Knife, 2-Days of Rations, Rope, Flare Gun, Fire-Starter Kit

 

[Bellatsakha]

Full Name: Sasha Novakova
Age: 23
Role: Pilot
Associated Color: Blue

Skill Set:
Tactician – She’s a quick thinker, able to figure out weaknesses and create a sound plan to conquer any problem
Pilot any vehicle – She can figure out controls very quickly and make logical guesses as to what they do, speed doesn’t affect her ability to concentrate and she can perform evasive maneuvers easily, just make sure everyone has their seatbelts on
Leadership - She can take control of most situations and talk people into doing what she asks of them, however, her age works against her because people often think she’s too young to be in charge
Basic self-defense and gunmanship – She learned from the military bases, but it isn’t her preferred method of combat
Desensitization to war – She’s been exposed to so much violence and death that it doesn’t faze her anymore, nothing is off limits to ensure success

Background: She was a military brat that traveled from base to base with her father, a general in the army, and two younger brothers. While her brothers had opted for the more traditional military route, she was more focused on the tactical side of things. She paid special attention to the way the base was run and how the military leaders operated and found it fascinating.

She discovered her love of flying very young as the family was being flown from base to base and she constantly pestered the pilots to show her how to work the plane. As soon as she was tall enough to reach the buttons, her father had one of the pilots show her how to fly. She found something invigorating about being in control of such a powerful machine and being so high up that she could see everything.

Her interest extended to other vehicles, although she felt a little vulnerable on the ground. She learned basic self-defense skills and how to shoot and everything else, but only at surface-level and she’d prefer not to get into any combat. Her true talents lay in leadership roles. Due to her father’s position, she didn’t have to go through basic training and jumped right into base ops where she proved to be a master tactician.

However, as her brothers were showing to be prodigies in the field, her father had taken his attention away from her and put it on them. He never really approved of her skipping combat training since that was how he worked his way up the ranks, but went along with it because arguing with her was like arguing with a brick wall.

The military council brought up the topic of the Forbidden Island and pushed them to do more about it, so her father made a big show of putting his own two sons on the project to try and placate them. Sasha interrupted and, after a bit of persuading, convinced her father to allow her to go instead in an attempt to show him she was just as good as her brothers.

Registered Gear: Handgun, Switchblade, 3 Extra Magazines for the Handgun (for emergencies), Basic First Aid Kit, Notepad and Pen

 

[screaming armadillo]

Full Name: Alexander F. Kross

Age:26

Role (Choose from six): Explorer

Associated Color (Based on role): Green

Skillset: Bachelors of Science in Biology with a minor in Herpetology, working on a Masters. A fair amount of endurance and knowledge traveling through rough terrain, better than many but not anything special. This also goes for his survival skills which are more like not die as quickly skills. He can read a compass, knows to boil water make a campfire and a very basic lean-to.

Background: An early interest in wildlife, which started with the warm and cuddlies eventually blossomed into an infatuation of the cold-blooded. He became one of the favorite students of Professor O’Brien at the University of Florida which eventually led to working under the Professor. O’Brien and Alexander in their nearly six years together have been through the Florida everglades, the Costa Rican tropics and the Peruvian mountains together in search of the unknown. So when the Professor was added into a pool of participants to join an expedition into an uncharted island, and were chosen, they practically fainted.

Registered Gear: A tan backpack, multi-tool, compass, aluminum canteen, collapsible snake hook, binoculars, snake gaiters, sunglasses, a small flashlight with a replacement pair of batteries and finally a day’s worth of rations.

Full Name:

Engineer

Red
Skillset:
-Intelligent:
Graduated from Oxford's engineering program, so he knows a little about engineering
-Hand-eye coordination:
Natural better than average hand-eye coordination

-Thief:

-Timid:

-ADD

Background:
Growing up in a low-class family in Egypt was hard for Kosey, as his parents spent most of their income on things such as alcohol and drugs, he never really had parental figures in his life. Being the oldest of his four siblings he had to find a way to provide for them as they were still too young to fend for themselves. While his parents were looking for their next high, Kosey would be out in the streets taking odds and ends from wallets to broken watches. Over the years he would fix anything he stole and sold them just to feed himself and his siblings. It wasn't the right thing to do and Kosey knew that, but it was his only choice. Over the years his parents became more distant than ever before, not like they were involved that much from the beginning anyway. However, Kosey became increasing good at stealing, something that scared him, so he stopped. After his siblings were old enough to get a job, Kosey decided to attend school as his siblings seemed to be able to support themselves without his full-time input. Achieving high marks was not a challenge for Kosey in the slightest. Gaining an interest in engineering, mechanical engineering to be exact, he made a name for himself with a local car dealership fixing cars while earning a decent income. Applying to Oxford's engineering program, Kosey never thought he would hear back. However, in the following weeks, he received a letter stating that he had received an all-inclusive scholarship. Kosey was absolutely ecstatic, he went on to graduate top of his class and opened his own shop. Although life was going good, he felt bored, nothing exciting was happening in his life anymore, his business was going good he helped his siblings by buying them each a house, like I said his business was going good. This was just around the same time he asked to be a part of a team to explore a "forbidden island" right away he knew that it would be something exciting to do. He thought that we was not cut out to be sent out on a journey to an island that had never been discovered before, so he spent sleepless nights teaching himself how to survive in the wilderness.

[div class=fyuriheader2] Andromeda Lane

[/div][div class=fyuriheader] General[/div]

Age: 26

Gender: female

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Height: 5'

Weight: 105 lbs

[div class=fyuriheader] Personality[/div]

Andie is a determined, feisty little wisp of a woman. Having been put down her whole life, she's always ready to defend herself and her skills. This makes her seem arrogant and condescending to some, but really she's just guarded. Her natural apprehension in professional environments causes her to hide the more relaxed, fun-loving side of herself to her colleagues. Most of them aren't a huge fan of her, but her companions on mapping expeditions have nothing but praise for the young cartographer.

[div class=fyuriheader] Biography[/div]

Andromeda Rosaline Lane was born and raised in a poor neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. Her parents were poor, but they squirrled away what money they could spare in the hopes of sending their daughter to a good school. Her mother, especially, wanted Andie to have the opportunities that she did not. So she grew up, surrounded by poverty and crime, learning what she could from the materials at her underfunded school and eventually graduating early at 17. She graduated from Stanford University with a minor in Geology and a major in Cartograph, dealing with discrimination the whole way. Andie loved the earth and wanted to explore the places no one had been before. it, marking it down, making it known. But her chosen feild is white male dominated, and she was poor to boot. So she put up walls and went back to school, this time majoring in Botany and minoring in Zoology. She belonged there and she would prove it by being the best in the field. She relieved the stress of this by taking up boxing, and still does so once a week. It keeps her in shape and clears her head. After school, she spent two years going on expeditions and doing research at Brown before she was recruited to the Island. Before going on her first expedition, she took an in depth tactical first aid course. She was always the over-prepared type, and even when there's an official medic on the team, her knowledge has managed to come in handy on every trip so far. She wasn't sure who all would be on the mission, so she made sure to pack a full med bag along with her other items, which of course also included the canteen and holder her mother crocheted for her and the compass her father had gotten her.

[div class=fyuriheader2] Lochlann James

[/div][div class=fyuriheader] General[/div]

Age: 24

Gender: male

Sexual Orientation: pansexual

Height: 6'6

Weight: 210 lbs

[div class=fyuriheader] Personality[/div]

Loch is... extreme, to say the least. He's always been one to take things to the next level, in everything he does. His emotions run hotter, his fitness was better, his hobbies, his job, everything. When he gets attached to something, he doesn't let go. While this can be a good thing, it can also be very bad. He's got a quick temper and is forever holding a grudge against someone. Though he seems like an easy going, laid back, goofy guy, Lochlann is more like a dormant volcano- docile on the surface, but ready to erupt at any moment.

[div class=fyuriheader] Biography[/div]

Lochlann had a fairly normal childhood in a middle class family in Sarasota, Florida. Like many in the area he was a frequent visitor of the Mote Laboratory and Aquarium growing up, and developed a love for the ocean and it's creatures. The ocean became his one and only passion and starting at the ripe age of 12, he began scuba diving regularly, and by 17 he was known as one of the best free divers in the area, even holding the state record for depth during a free dive at 700 ft. Friends began calling him Nessie after the Loch Ness monster- both because he was a beast in the water and because it played off his other nickname, Loch. He went to university and got a degree in marine biology, putting his diving hobby to good use doing field research for Mote Laboratory. Working in the laboratory and seeing the harmful effects of oil refineries, the fishing industry, and countless other government backed projects first hand, he became a bit of a eco-terrorist in his off time. The government sponsored projects that were destroying his ocean and he just had to do something. Most would do things like drive a electric car or only eat fish they caught themselves, but Lochlann always did like to go a step further. So he started blowing up boats. He blew up boats on their way to the refineries, he blew up mass fishing vessels, shipping barges... anything that he thought would help. The media labeled him a vigilante terrorist but no one could deny the improved oceanic ecosystem in the bay. He always thought that they didn't know who he was, but that changed when the FBI showed up on his doorstep. Loch figured he was about to get tossed in Guantanamo, but they just told him he'd been recruited for some kind of Island mission, and told him he would be getting an email. He ignored it, of course, because no way was he gonna work for the enemy. He didn't think they would force him to go, but here we are.
