Name


Alex Stone


Age


25


Appearance



jason-bourne.jpg



Physical traits


6'2, 235#, medium build, No scars, No tats



Personality


Alex is a bit cocky, and easily classified as vain. He knows that many women find him attractive, and uses that to his advantage at times, but other than those moments he's a pretty nice guy to know and easily classified as helpful.



Background


Alex worked on the police force for around three years before he quit the job and moved into his own private security business. It was slow at first but after a couple years it took off and became a trusted security company in the area. After a few years the company hit a rough patch, the expansions from the few good years they had caused their bankruptcy when they were unable to keep up budget wise. The company went under and Alex was forced to relocate to another company as a regular small time guard. He was on the flight on his way there.





Specialties/Skills/Big weaknesses


A bit of CQC knowledge, some tactical know how, but no where near amazing, first aid, he's also quite strong. Alex's main weakness is his confidence, he's known to undertake a challenge he's unable to complete and his own stubbornness prevents him from giving up.

Name


Seta Margossian


Appearance



970630_10151988031467546_508388564_n.jpg



Physical traits


Seta is 5'5" and thin, but surprisingly muscular. She has one medium sized tattoo on her back of a tree blowing under the breeze with the quote "I love you as much..." written underneath. She had been planning on adding more under her entire back was eventually one big mural. She has a chicken pox scar on her temple, but it really only looks like she stuck a straw to her head and held it there for too long.


1073761_10151533815787546_440222320_o.jpg



Personality


Seta is the kind of person who keeps her mouth shut until it counts. She was raised in a predominantly Armenian family, though she herself never held to her parents ideals. At 23 she is finally ready to see the world and everything that comes along with it. She is an overly caring, overly protective individual who doesn't even know her own limits. Seta is not easily angered, but when she does become enraged it is really better to just leave her alone before she hurts someone or herself. Ultimately she is a kind and caring individual who would do anything for her fellow man. She has a bit of a nursing complex, which is helpful since she studying nursing when she attended college. She has excellent bedside manner, and she truly believed she would make a really terrific nurse in Australia, and get to live on the beach to boot!


Background


Seta has spent her entire 23 years living in the shadow of her perfect older sister. At 21, Seta came out as bisexual to her parents and was disinherited, left to pay for the remainder of college herself. In hindsight, she really should have waited until she graduated to out herself. So now, finally graduated and finally free, Seta has decided to sever all ties and move to Australia to be a nurse there. She leaves behind a girlfriend of two years and everything else. She sold her car and most of her possessions so she would have enough money for a plane ticket and a 6 month lease when she arrived. With only a carry-on and a purse full of cash, Seta is finally free to live a life free from scrutiny. Otherwise, Seta lived a fairly comfortable life. She was middle class, ad her parents worked themselves to the bone to put her and her sister through college. Despite the whole pressuring her and homophobia incident, they were really good parents and Seta was raised in an environment that fostered learning and a very competitive nature. Both her and her sister were pushed into horse back riding and though Seta really enjoyed it, her sister was always better. Granted, it did give her incredible leg, back, and core muscles, so for that she is grateful. Seta rode competitively in college and briefly explored the idea of marriage with her girlfriend. Of course, it wasn't meant to be. Seta had the itch to travel, and her girlfriend just didn't fit into that future with her.


Specialties/Skills/Big weaknesses





Seta is a nurse and managed to buy and bring her own nurse's bag, sans all the "dangerous" stuff the airport confiscated. She is thoroughly trained in the art of healing, and is pretty fast as well. Years of horse back riding gave her incredible lower body strength, but absolutely no upper body. She can't even do a chin up. Generally speaking, Seta is pretty self-conscious and has a big problem with authority. She absolutely loathes anyone telling her what to do and almost always starts a fight when someone disagrees. Of course, she knows she will have to work on that if she is ever going to work in a hospital. She doesn't always speak her mind, so there are often issues with communication, which, along with the desire to travel, ultimately ended her last relationship. She has a bit of a fear of commitment and remaining stagnant, and had severe anxiety when she was younger about just that.

She began participating in modern pentathlons (200 m freestyle swim, fencing, show jumping, pistol shooting & 3200 m cross-country run). During her sophomore year of college, she decided to try out for the Olympic team in pentathlon. She was accepted, and began training on the team. For the first few years, she was not chosen to participate in the Olympics, but during her third year, she was chosen, and participated.

Build:


Athletic, lean tone. Don't let it fool you, he can lift a little over double his body weight.

Scars:

His shoulders almost symmetrically, and a few slashes across his shoulder blades and back, which are mostly covered by his tattoo.

Guess that's what happens when you get beat with buckles and chains.



Personality

It's always the quiet ones...

°

Xavier is the quiet type, he learned early in his childhood that being loud would cause him suffering, trouble. A hardened shell to the regular sob stories. Complaining only returns a cold shoulder, Xavier gets easily aggravated by those who constantly complain about "having it hard."

Down to earth and level headed; he won't yell. He's calm and whispers his anger. He trusts few and far in between but when he does his loyalty is relentless.

Dog Eat Dog World °

Xavier grew up in a ghetto of the Manhattan, NY borough.A heavy New York accented tongue. The more gruesome alleys of the Meatpacking district.


His parents worked their fingers to the bone to get him everything he needed and some would say he had a great home life.
Too bad that was all an illusion.


A loving mother who has an addiction to prescription pills for her pain, and a father who only cares when he isn't deep throating a bottle; which didn't happen often.



At nine he was pulled out of school due to the beatings from his dad, who sent him to the hospital twice in the year, and because they couldn't afford it. When he got questioned about the abuse, Xavier never spoke. It was telling his teacher in the first place that brought the second hospital visit, where he broke two ribs and his clavical after a "skateboard accident". Once loud and exuberant he turned quiet, reserved.



He rejoined school mid-year at ten. At thirteen he started hanging around at the corner block auto shop, where at sixteen he started an apprenticeship: learning to weld, hot wire cars, actual maintenance, and so on. He also had a boxing hobby by than, kept him out of his house. But after learning the proper techniques Xavier got kicked out for "being too violent" and hitting dirty, hitting to survive, hitting with rage. He resorted to street fighting which also had the advantage of making him money.



Junior year of he was expelled, roughed up a senior who shoved his girlfriend. His dad tried to set him straight, but Xavier was stronger. He wasn't nine years old anymore, and instead he broke his old man's nose and bruised him up with less injury to himself, save the large buckle abrasions on his back.



Now, few years later, he's a manager figure for the auto shop he first learned it all. Second Hands the warehouse and chop shop for select drag racers, export parts companies, and shops who had In. Working the main line on delivering goods world wide to select sources became is way of making a name for himself. It also kept him clean and away from other, dirtier, illegal work far worse than this.



He was currently packing to take a flight to Australia, Pacific Airlines flight 793, meeting up with a few executives in the auto part business, a few of his shops work would be on the cargo below. After some bargaining they also got him lined up for the street fighting tournament held in the Sydney area.


Specialties and Other Characteristics



Skills:

Welding, scrapping materials, rewiring vehicles of all make.

Some basic self aid buddy care (SABC) for injury clean up/stitching and nature survival.

Xavier's hands may be calloused but he has a steady grip.

Street smarts, knife handling and street fighting.

Fluent in Italian

°

Weaknesses:

Xavier dislikes lack of order, yet he also hates false leaders or those who try to use their past instead of repor. To have people trust and follow blindly. He isn't a sheep.

Stubbornness and and overly grown ego make him close minded once he has an idea in his head of how a situation should run down.

A will to fight. This is a strength and a weakness depending on the time. If discussion doesn't fix a matter, Xavier doesn't mind resorting to fists.​

Name


Damian Tatchell


Appearance


Chef8.jpg



Physical traits


A very large man, Damian is a six foot tall man that weighs around 260 pounds. He keep his head and face cleanly shaven.


Personality


Damian is a carefree man who enjoys the finer things in life. Though happy, he is shy and hard to approach in normal conversation, though this seems to change when talking to a friend. He tends to stay away from conflicts whenever they don’t involve him, not bothering to help end it. When approached with a topic of his interest, Damian seems to have a complete change of character and can easily become engrossed in the conversation.


Background


A child of two bakers, Damian was raised in Los Angeles on some of the best food the city had to offer. Quickly becoming one of the ‘biggest’ kid amongst his peers, he became the target for most ridicule and bullying. Accepting of his fate, Damian grew very timid and non confrontational. As he grew, eventually the bullying seemed to back off but he always seemed to keep his timidness from that time.


As he grew, he seemed to follow in his parents footsteps and taking it even a step further, training to become a full time chef. Growing tired of the sweet breads and pastries his parents would constantly make, Damian begun to travel to world to explore what the world had to offer his pallet. He started his trip by heading to Japan from his home in Los Angeles and headed west learning all the recipes and dishes he could while sampling them several times over. After literally crossing the world, he headed back home to take a break with his family before starting his second trip. This time, he thought to head to Australia first and then see where that will take him.


Specialties/Skills/Big weaknesses


Being a world traveling chef, Damian is skilled at many recipes and knows the in and outs of most foods. Being well traveled, he knows the culture a little of something of each culture he visited though most of it is related to their food in how it is prepared and how it is served. He also picked up on the languages, however slightly, of the places he visits most of them being greetings or asking how to get to the bathroom. The chef’s biggest weakness would be his weight. He was never an outdoorsman, and seems to tire out and get hungry fairly easily.

Personality

If asked to choose one word to describe Abilene, those closest to her would choose the adjective introspective. She maintains a calm but curious demeanor, preferring to observe before she acts and think before she speaks. Typically, this would lead one to the conclusion that Abi is shy and quiet when in reality, this is not the case. Abilene feels extremely comfortable in her own skin and in her own opinions. What could be mistaken as hesitation is simply her way of feeling in control of the room, weighing each possibility carefully before acting upon one. She certainly isn't shy in front of a crowd, as per her occupation and lifestyle, and actually prefers such an arrangement to one-on-one contact. An intelligent lover of literature and music, Abilene has a strong appreciation for art in nature.

Background

Born in Melbourne, Australia, Abi had a lovely but fairly "cookie cutter" childhood. It wasn't until she reached her late teens that the image of her white picket fence lifestyle began to change. She'd taken a job as a waitress during her last year of school in attempts to save up a bit more cash for her travels. Abilene had been accepted into a advanced music program in the United States after applying with a few friends of hers via video recording. They'd been offered a group scholarship, to enroll as a band, but food and board wouldn't be covered. The three had already contacted a firm about renting a studio apartment and they were nearly on their way, that was, until their plans changed.

One Friday night, the dinner entertainment bailed at the restaurant Abi was employed at. Her manager knew of her acceptance into the musical program and practically begged Abilene to fill in. Just a couple of numbers, no big deal. Abi ended up fronting the whole gig that night, singing with the likes of a ratty looking guitar found backstage. Apparently the patrons liked what they heard; it hadn't been two days before a man in a suit and tie came knocking on her door. He represented an up and coming record label looking for new talent, and they wanted to hear more. One thing led to another and before they knew it, the three friends had several songs written and recorded, all ready for the spotlight.

Four and a half months later, their debut album hit the shelves in Australia. They had taken to calling themselves "Second Star" and soon crept to the top of the Indie-Pop charts. The album did the same in the UK and, with a little bit of luck, made the top ten charts in North America, sending them on the ride of a lifetime. Recordings, photo shoots, press, runways, if they weren't smiling for a camera or a crowd, the ladies of Second Star were on a plane being zipped off to their next location. The world became a blur and night and day became fluid. City after city, their management wanted to take advantage of Second Star's popularity while they had the chance.

Abilene fell the hardest. Being the lead of the band and the main vocals, it only took four years for her to dissolve under the pressure. She developed a drug habit, heroine mostly, very nasty business. The others were too consumed in their own woes to worry with it, and management turned a blind eye. They had Second Star bound by contract for at least another two years. The thought alone made Abi sick. The music had lost its magic to her. She was simply going through the motions with a bright and perfectly faked smile anywhere the cameras could reach her. She'd been doing an individual photo shoot in Los Angeles before she boarded Pacific Airlines Flight 793 with a baggie of her poison of choice stashed in the bottom of her coffee thermos, very ready to go home for a few days off.

Specialties/Skills

• music~vocals and acoustic guitar •

• vast knowledge of classic literature •

• bilingual~English and French •

• cool tempered; can be quite persuasive •

Big Weaknesses

• susceptible to addiction~currently heroine •

• lack of body strength •

• accustomed to luxury life •

Name

Zoe [pronounced zou-ee] Grace Levi

Appearance

{ uploaded cause dumb phone }

Physical traits

Zoe has a petite build, standing at 5"3 and weighing 112 lbs.

Personality

Zoe's that girl that makes it so hard for people to differentiate love and plain friendliness. Kind and polite yet intelligent in her words, she would seem rather shy at first glance but once you walk up to her, no conversation falls flat. Zoe is a bit of a scaredy-cat, however, and tends to panic very easily.

Background

Her parents are divorced. Her life would have been perfect if they'd stayed in love, but God deemed her to have enough flaws to counter her good parts. Born in Australia, her father had moved there to advance his business career, but had ended up falling in love with an Australian woman. The woman bore him two children, a handsome boy and a beautiful girl, two years apart. They named the boy Ethan and the girl Zoe. The siblings were inseparable. It was only when Zoe turned 5 did Mr. Levi's business take off. It expanded constantly, and he made millions. But one could only do so much in Australia. Mr. Levi felt he would be able to do so much more in his home country- America. Mrs. Levi refused to go with him, and the couple divorced, each taking custody of one child.

It was ultimately money that tore her family apart. Which is ironic, considering money is the one thing that she has too much of.

Zoe developed anxiety then, due to unknown reasons. Mr. Levi became rich, and he wished to return to his ex-wife. She would not have it. It would take more convincing than that for her to believe that she was more important than money to him, and that would take years. What she did allow, though, was for Zoe to go to Australia to visit her dear old brother Ethan, and for her father to keep trying. Zoe accepted, missing her brother dearly. She was popular at school, with her personality and talent in the arts (dancing/sketching), and her face contributed a little too. So of course the only thing she was missing was family! She has a secret plan to make sure that her family will become whole again.

{ exploited is such a... Big word }

Specialties/Skills

•Peacemaker, but panics if the two parties get aggressive

•Artistically Inclined (sketching, painting, all that stuff)

•Optimistic/charmer: tends to be able to sway people when she chooses not to lather it with sugar

•Agility/Grace/Flexibility: She took dancing/gymnastics as a child

Big weaknesses

•Anxiety: panic attacks

•Claustrophobia: scared of narrow, small spaces, in her case, she'll sometimes be frightened around too many strangers + weird situation

•Irrational fear of pencils (what)

•Allergic to pineapples

The NPC list is now posted in the overview section, I'm probably going to add more to the list at some point but I'm spent atm so I'll do it later today. Right now there are fourteen NPCs. Some will be far more important than others in the story so the abundance of NPCs wont become cumbersome, I just want to have a good basis of NPCs to make this feel fleshed out, as I did with the last post I'm going to put this one up on the recruiting tab for those who are not watching this thread.
 



Name

Charleene Clarice Clayfield

"Call me Charlie. Not Elysia nor Charleene, Chazzie, Arleen or some other shit. It's just Charlie. "

Appearance

7b1baa44deb44223cab9c62a74299986.jpg


Physical traits


Height:
5'3

Weight: 117

Build: Elysia is quite lean and skinny, even having a slight malnourished look to her physique even though she is perfectly healthy.

Scars & Beauty Marks: N/A, however she does have a small beauty mark on her left thigh and another on her lower back.













Personality




"Shit is simple; touch me, my mother or my camera and I'll break your fucking nose."

Charlie may seem short-tempered and foul-mouthed but in reality all she seeks is some peace of mind, some silence so she can do what she does best, photography. She's extremely passionate and ambitious, allowing nothing to stand in her way with strong survival skills and a quick learner. Being quite straightforward, Charlie states her opinions {when asked} without adding any sweet words to the point were it just becomes plain rude and her morals are twisted if in existence. A none-believer of unselfish actions, casual friendships and love.

Whilst she is believed to be in her 'rebellious' phase by peers, Charlie simply has a strong grasp on her dislikes and likes, her future and her goals. She knows who she is and will not and can not pretend to be something else. She is not a 'pessimist' but a logical thinker that is driven by the creativity and passion of others. She tolerates people that are down to earth, that understand her 'humor' and that can handle the awkward - or comfortable, - silences she loves to dwell in. A strong independent woman with flaws like any other human being.

"Life isn't too short to live in misery but long enough to waste away. Some choose to do so, I don't."





Background





"I was born, I'm living and I'm going to die. The End."

Elysia Charleene Clayfield was born nearly 21 years ago to a family of three, with an older brother by the name of Chase and a couple of weird parents. She had been a spoiled child, as her mother was a best-selling author that went by her maiden name Mayn and her father a wealthy business man, not to mention the son of a small town mayor in the southern parts of the state Dakota. While her father was quite extraordinary, he was not the center of her life until much later. It was her mother's face that popped up whenever Elysia thought of her childhood. Their walks in the park, or her playing with her dolls while her mother was on the computer finishing yet another novel.

Charleene also remembers herself being a lot brighter as a child. Naive.

Her world fell apart when she was seven years, four months and eleven days. She knows. She counted. Chase had been diagnosed with cancer, large brain tumors had been found and by that time, removal of the tumor wouldn't stop the growth. He died when she was ten.

Suddenly, things changed. Her mother became this shell of a woman, filled with hatred for the world and a love of alcohol. Her father on the other hand, he became her rock. Her pillar of hope. One of the things that brought them closer was their camping trips where her father dearest would teach her small things here and there. Like photography. It became her passion, just like her mother used to escape the world by writing about another one, she escaped behind the camera lense, watching the world through new eyes.

Eventually, Teresa Mayn-Clayfield went into rehab when Charleene reached puberty at the age of 13. She begged her father, who was practically wrapped around her finger, to send her to New York, where she'd go to an art school. He let her go away.

Years later, Charlie has gone through... A lot. Her solo camping trips around the states had be done, friendships were formed to be broken and destroyed, she had fallen in and out of love and wants nothing to do with the 'curse'. And she graduated from college a bit earlier than expected. To celebrate her little 'degree' in the Fine Arts of Photography, her father payed for her ticket to Australia, a place she has been yearning to go to since her childhood. Yet another vacation spent camping in the wild, without any sort of civilization in miles. Yet another stack of endless pictures that take her breath away.

Or... Perhaps, she came prepared for something completely else.




Specialties/Skills/Big weaknesses




  • Map-reading and cartography: Ever since the first trip to the woods with daddy dearest, Charlie has taken it upon herself to learn how to read maps... And create them. A side-effect of her ambitious ways.
  • Survival skills & Camping Equipment knowledge: Another handy skill that comes with being a girl scout without the scout part, you know how to survive alone. At least for awhile. She can also make a fire, and make a small tent of branches if needed. Ya know, the usual.
  • Photography: ... She has a degree. Enough said.
  • Tree-climber: Yet another handy skill from her time camping.


  • Lone wolf: Charlie does not function well in groups, having a hard time following instructions unless necessary. She has an even harder time giving them, as they usually go unfollowed, something she finds to be annoying. Casual relationships, friendship, trust and empathy is not a part of her.
  • High Metabolism: When in a modern society, not that bad. Burn of all that junk food. When in a unknown island, lost? Food is sparse. Weight is lost and she can get pretty malnourished. This time for real.
  • Afraid of Thunder: Chase isn't here anymore to hold her at night. When the thunder comes, Charlie goes mad.
  • Afraid of Canines: Dogs, wolves and whatever looks like them are a big no-no for Charlie.

~WIP~


(Looks finished, but needs more detail..)





Name

Valentin Ievdokimov

Appearance

Tyler-Hoechlin-tyler-hoechlin-24741186-500-333-2-1.jpg



((Faceclaim - Tyler Hoechlin))





Physical traits

Valentin is 6'1", and weighs around 89kg. He is tall and well built, with a very good physical condition, well muscled yet decidedly flexible and fast. It doesn't quite count as a scar, but he has a strange kind of lump in his right forearm where he broke his arm. He has also sprained his ankle one or two times, and had a broken jaw at one point, although he has no visible scars to prove it.







^ The tattoo he has on his left shoulder (may, may not work

:/ )

Personality

Valentin's personality is best described as vibrant, independent and hot-headed; he hates to be told what to do, who to be and what to think. He is a leader, not a follower, and gets very competitive. He is rather creative and can have a very funny sense of humour, something which he inherited from his father, as long as he is in the right mood; his moods, as well, can be very mercurial. He doesn't openly display his fears and will never willingly admit that he has any at all, yet he has a certain phobia of clowns. A severe one.




Valentin, as his name quite plainly suggests, is Russian; he speaks with a pretty strong accent, however he has very good English, having learnt it at quite a young age. Unlike the typical Russian stereotype, Vodka doesn't occupy his every waking thought. He is, in fact, a sucker for coffee. And ice cream. The day when he found both of them could be combined was possibly the best day of his life.




Background

Valentin was born in the capital of Moscow, right in the middle of Winter when the city was covered in snow. He grew up with just his father, Maksym Ievdokimov, as his mother Katerine had had a divorce soon after he was born. It was not a messy break, and the two had parted with no bad blood between them. Katerine was soon happily married again, this time to a man named Antranig Michnev, and the two families slowly lost contact. Maksym, Valentin's father, is a very talented craftsman and wood carver; he owns a little shop off of one of the high streets.



At school, Valentin learnt fluent English, also tutored by his dad. He had taken up an interest in karate, a club conveniently offered by his school, and from this began his interest in Martial Arts. Despite his odd situation with his parents, he had a pretty average childhood. As he grew older, he became more proficient in karate and started on the Russian Systema fighting style. It was Systema that truly piqued his interest, and quickly became his preferred martial art.




But when he was 18, he moved to America for college in Los Angeles; after he graduated, he decided to travel to Australia to follow his interest in travel and to possibly find a job and settle down, having quite a few connections already there.





Specialties/Skills

- Well versed in self defence (Russian Systema/Karate)



- In good physical shape




- Not easily persuaded or swayed




- Bilingual in Russian and English, and has a rather sketchy knowledge of Italian




- Isn't affected much by the cold




- Is a natural leader




- Very trustworthy; if you tell him a secret, you can be guaranteed that he will keep it





- Pretty smart


Weaknesses/Flaws


- Rather rusty in his martial arts




- A bit of an insomniac




- Hates clowns with a passion




- Argumentative and, if he doesn't like someone, uncooperative




- His accent can make certain words he says rather difficult to understand




- His sprained ankle can act up in the worst times




- Doesn't like overly hot places





- Can sometimes be rather uncaring and impetuous

Name

Charles Gault

Appearance

Captain_Gault.jpg


Physical traits




Gault is a lean man with a scrappy build from years of consistent cardio exercise, he is around six foot one as well. He has no tattoos or notable scarring on his body.

He is 34.

Personality

Charles is a proud man above all else, and this is both his biggest strength and his Achilles heal. He prides himself in being a person who will not back down from a conflict even if he is at a disadvantage and because of this self perceived "positive" trait, he sometimes chooses battles that he cannot win. This trait does however make him a man of strong moral character as he has his code and will stick by it even if there is a gun pressed against his temple. He is a person who gets straight to the point without mincing his meaning among softer words and this makes him cantankerous in the eyes of other people, but in the eyes of some this makes him a man worthy of respect.

Charles is a person who loves people, but doesn't trust them whatsoever and because of this he never reveals his full hand in order to maintain some form of an advantage either physical, tactical or emotional in nature. This trait of his makes him come off as slightly detached from society but this is merely a preemptive measure that he subconsciously employs in order to empower himself within groups of people.

He can be confrontational but only when he feels that someone is going to proverbially "screw the pooch" and this makes him a valuable asset in high stress situations as his voice can ring out as a tether to rationality among the seeing chaos of the times and because of this fact he is a man who can step up to take the lead in times of duress, although during times of calm and peace he allows others who are more personally invested to take charge and runs things as pure power and control has never been something that he has craved.

He varies wildly in terms of his romantic interest and his interest in forming bonds with others, at times he can seem as if he is a womanizer and at times he can seem like a shut off with no interest in women, and the same is true in regards to his general interest in socializing and forming relationships. All in all, when it comes down to it he is quite mercurial as a person and his attitude on life can seemingly change with the day. He isn't bipolar as his emotions are actually quite in control, it is simply a result of his "go with the flow" personality and however he feels when he wakes up for the new day will define how he acts around others. Yes, it is kind of a callous approach to people, but this man is no overemotional walking drama and so if you think he cares whether or not you find him callous or not, you'd be wrong. This is a man you'd be lucky to catch wearing a full grin or harboring a tear in his eye, the best and final word I'll use to describe him is "stoic".

Background




Charles had an extraordinarily normal childhood, little league baseball games were sandwiched between his video games and his cartoons and the cares of the world meant little to the young man as he grew up sheltered within a gated community on Long Island in New York. He had normal middle class US of A dreams of becoming a doctor, or was it a lawyer, probably both, oh and a professional baseball player before all of that became a reality. It wasn't just a fantasy in the head of some JV player either, it could have been a reality at one point but a couple torn ligaments later and it was all but a pipe dream sailing down a river of regret and wasted athletic talent, a boon of a couple weak stringy ropes in his right leg that never quite healed right. With his injuries came depression and a sense of loss, and from that came a string of bad grades, missed classes and a recipe for failure in the post high school world. By the time that he graduated he had dropped his grades so low with his apathy that the damned diploma felt given not earned and instead of attending a community college as his parents desired he joined the Navy at age eighteen.

It was within boot camp where he found motivation again, like his time on the diamond back in high school he was once more part of a team working towards a goal. He once again had teammates to fight for and to fight with and this revived his work ethic and his interest in life, almost overnight the the borderline flunky underachiever transformed into the hardest cadet on the base, he ran the fastest, worked the hardest and scored the highest and led his brothers on in revelry chants and in wind sprints. For a while he was on top of the world as he had once been, and then he graduated and was assigned to a mine sweeper in the south Pacific.

The graveyard was the nickname for the area they patrolled, an endless blue with nothing but flotsam, algae and the oft surfacing whale kept the men company during their rotation through the Pacific. It was truly a dead ended assignment, but as the recruiter had said when Charles signed up for a the navy, the needs of the navy come before the needs of the individual and it was here where the navy needed him.

His tedious assignment became more of an enigma after the night of August 18th 2000, he was stationed on watch as he was every couple of weeks, but unlike any other night, on this night, the ship was not alone. From above the small vessel appeared a bright light, swirling and magnificent, and a roar emitted from the center of the flying object, a mechanical drone that oppressed the ears with it's decibels while uplifting ones ears with it's octave. It was a beautiful craft with sleek rounded lines and a mysterious and other worldly air about it, and Charles wasn't alone in his sighting for it didn't take long for the deck to fill with awed spectators as the floating vessel shined and oscillated before them, emitting its soft and yet thunderous drone, and as quickly as it had appeared, it vanished into thin air, leaving the astonished men to ponder what they had seen, and why.

The ship reported back to port one week later, a week afterwards, all of the records related to the existence of the ship were destroyed and the ship itself was sunk to the bottom of Challengers Deep in the Mariana Trench, the deepest location on earth. Most of the men who had seen the ship were sworn to silence under the threat of physical harm to either them, or their families, some were never heard from again, and a few volunteered to join the BEM, or the Bureau of Extraterrestrial Management.

For the next twelve years, Charles worked for the BEM as a field agent, and all throughout the following twelve years he had a repeating dream. In every dream, he would see the alien craft, and afterwards he would have a vision, so clear and perfect that it seemed more real than his waking life, it was a series of flashes, and all of them were of an island.

Specialties/Skills/Big weaknesses

He can use firearms and he is good at hand to hand combat but he isn't some ninja, the guy was in the navy and a secret agency within the CIA so he knows some tricks but the man isn't Bruce Wayne.

He can repair some radio equipment and he is good with electronics.

He can navigate while at sea and build a sextet.

He knows survival 101 things like how to build fires and temporary shelter.

He is rash in his decision making and painfully stubborn, sometimes obtuse due to the latter.​



 



IT HAS BEGUN. The missions on the board will be available after your first post!


Make sure to check the overview for the mission board.





The mission board is basically the lifeblood of this RP, every time you check in on the RP you should give the MB a visit. Right now there are six missions available, and one more will be available after one day (island time) has passed.
 
Name


Luness Anderson


Appearance

Physical traits


(Height/Weight/Build/Scars/Tattoos/Other)



5'5"/115 Ibs/Athletic Build, A strong runner/Right hand is scarred from top of middle knuckle down to the wrist, got in a scuffle, which resulted in a deep knife wound on her hand/Has four Chinese characters on her right shoulder/bicep that translate to 'American Soldier'/Has a stress fracture in her right foot and a meniscus tear in her left knee from before she got on the plane, but thanks to the crash they've only gotten worse.


Personality


Luness is prior service in the Army and so is very respectful of others due to what she was taught during her time of service. She's been deployed once to Afghanistan and knows that working as a team is key to being successful in everything. She is very headstrong and resilient so she often pushes herself too hard and makes her physical injuries worse. She's also a bit shy when she first meets anyone so don't expect her to be highly social at first.


Background


Luness served in the Army for two years and was deployed to Afghanistan for ten months during that timeframe. She joined up the minute she was of age as she had always desired to serve her country and save people as best as she thought she could. She's a 68W, or a combat medic, and has seen her share of horror stories during those ten months so she isn't fond of speaking about her past in general.


Specialties/Skills/Big weaknesses


Because she's a combat medic, Luness knows a good deal about medicine and even has a small medic pack that she'd brought with her on the flight and was able to retrieve after they crashed/Medicine, Musician, Artist, and Writer/Luness can be rather anti-social so she hates big crowds; She also pushes herself too hard so she can injure herself further; She is highly competitive and will take on any challenge with no regards towards the possible dangers involved
