Welcome! Below is a brief synopsis. Let me know if there is more information you would like on anything to do with the story. I will post my own character as soon as I polish him/her up.

All players will be from the same college and may know each other but may not necessarily be friends (or enemies...they just know of each other). They will have won a 10 day trip to a private island resort but their vacation will not go as planned. While stranded on the island players will learn about themselves, each other and their intertwined destiny that has global ramifications. Will any of them survive the hardships of the strange island?



You are a student at Cambria University located out in the country of Western Washington State. Cambria is a small college town home to one of the most prestigious learning institutions in the world. It has top programs in all fields of academia, music and sports. It is a costly school to go to but often gives scholarships to deserving students.

What kind of student are you? Are you the quiet musician spending hours upon hours in the music building perfecting your violin technique? Are you a star athlete on the football or ice hockey team? Are you the ambitious medical or law student who doesn’t have time for others? Or are you the literal genius who doesn’t apply themselves, instead preferring to be the life of the party with your awesome keg stands? The choice is yours.

Students were entered into a raffle to win a trip to a private island resort on Kamatayan Island in the southern hemisphere. The raffle was sponsored by Dr. Edgar Stewart, an Alumni of Cambria University who also happens to own the island resort. You are a lucky winner and are about to start your journey to the island with the other winners. You are due to arrive back just a few days before the Fall Term starts.

If anything seems unclear or you have questions feel free to PM me or mention me on the thread to get my attention.

Awesome! I will whip up a cs. I was wondering if it would be possible to make two characters?

Although I would like to make some twins, the chances of them both being randomly picked would be slim. Either that or have a rebel twin sneak on somehow.

@Peaches You can have multiple characters as long as it doesn't get out of hand. My characters will be out of hand as I have to play some NPCs.

Alright sounds cool!

And would you allow for one of the twins to somehow sneak on? (Probably because she looks like someone who should be there or something)

@Peaches Sure, they could probably sneak on as flight crew of some kind or another...or however you decide to do it.

@codex I'll mull around with the idea but of course I will see if you apprive of it in the end :) off to write!

Name:
Madelynn McTavish

Age/Grade Year:
22/Junior Year

Gender/Sexual Orientation:
Female/Straight

Major:
Criminal Justice

Personality:
Madelynn is a happy go lucky kind of girl. She loves to laugh and enjoys a lame joke or pun as much as the next person. She's quite shy around people she doesn't know, but once she gets to know someone, talking comes easy. Although quite reserved with her opinions, and dislike of confrontation, she's not afraid to speak her mind if the situation calls for it.

Background
Growing up with a family that had successful careers, Madelynn wanted to do the same when she got older. She had changed her mind several times over the years as to what to wanted to do with her life. Surgeon. Psychiatrist. Lawyer. When she was a junior in high school, she started watching crime dramas on T.V. Soon after, she started watching true crime shows, and that's when she decided she wanted to be a homicide detective. Madelynn enjoyed puzzles and brain teasers, and the sight of blood, or a dead decomposed body wouldnt bother her like it would most people. So, when she got to college, that's what she went for.

Your Relationship with other Characters:
Acquaintances

Anything You Want to Add:
Madelynn has a cherry blossom branch tattoo down her spine.

If I need to change or add anything, just let me know :)

@BoyMom035 I was hoping you'd join when I saw you lurking! She is accepted and can be moved to the character tab

@codex

LOL! I was debating. ;)

Been lurking since you first put it up

Name: Marcia Johnson
Age/Grade Year: 18/Freshman
Gender/Sexual Orientation: Female - Lesbian (Closet)
Appearance: Marcia usually has her hair straightened to silky strands. She still ties her hair up in bows, something she has enjoyed ever since she was a child. Her makeup usually uses silvers and pastels as well as her wardrobe, following a soft color palette. She has a classic, flowy style about her clothes. Marcia’s favorite type of clothing would probably be a dress or a scarf.
Major: Biology. She's unsure which portion she wants to join but Marcia loves finding out about the world around her. Although she loves natural biology she simply doesn't have the guts to poke at frogs and spiders and guts and mucus. No thanks. Maybe she will study plants instead.
Personality and Background: Quiet and reserved, Marcia would be a classic example of the “bookish type.” She spends a lot of her time alone or with a few of her close friends.

If you were looking for her you should probably try the park, the calmness of the trees helps her study. Marcia is very serious about her studies, sometimes her best friend - Danielle - says she is a little too serious sometimes. Danielle has always had it easy in class though, she never studied and always passed while Marcia has worked her butt off to get her perfect grades.

She loves racquetball, even though she isn't that good at it. There's just something fun about hitting a ball around a small room. Marcia and her friends always come up with their own rules and goof off more than they actually play. Afterwards they head off to the smoothie bar and laugh about nonsense. Her friends known how to keep her grounded and balanced between schoolwork and having fun.

Marcia is secretly jealous that her sister has an easy time networking and is really good at interviews.
Your Relationship with other Characters: Twin of Amara

Name: Amara Johnson
Age/Grade Year: 18/Freshman
Gender/Sexual Orientation: Female - Straight
Appearance: Amara is proud of her locks and works hard to put them into a new configuration every day. She likes bold patterns and bright colors. She usually skips makeup, but if she does go to the effort she makes it count, contouring perfectly and heading her lips like a queen. Amara wears a variety of styles, as of she's trying on the world's best fashions. Her favorite piece of clothing would be her black jacket.
Major: History. Amara has always been great at remembering influential people, past and present. She loves learning about people of the past and has a talent for playing them out in a way people can understand them today. Maybe one day she will be a part of writing these histories.
Personality and Background: Bubbly and friendly, Amara is a great example of the charismatic type. She can be seen easily mingling with any group, from children to professors, band geeks to sport stars. Her humor and bright smile seems to make everyone like her.

If you were looking for her your best guess would be the courtyard. People seem to congregate in the quad while they're waiting between classes. It gives her an opportunity to catch up on homework, catch up with friends and advocate for environmentalism.

Amara is a very active member of the Mother Earth Club and will use her skills to get people involved. She had a recycling challenge where she had people toss their trash into boxes then left them at the recycling place. After a lot of commotion around this the dean finally caved in and set up a recycling system for the school. Amara is really proud of her work and is constantly trying to improve the world around her.

Amara is secretly jealous that her sister has the ability to study for hours on end.

Your Relationship with other Characters: Twin of Marcia

I'm still working on the formatting of the vs but there won't be any change in information.

I hope all of this is alright :)

@Peaches Approved and I have an NPC I'm still working on that I think will be nice for Marcia (if you end up liking her for your character that is. I'm hoping to get a couple more people and hopefully some more male characters.

Sounds great to me!

It should be interesting. Part of the reason I have NPCs is to make sure we are balanced for the things I know are coming in the RP without limiting the type of character people want to play. Aside from the 2 NPCs I have posted there will also be temporary NPCs as well.

BUmping to the top

I guess I should have asked before I posted.

I was going to have the flight attendant take her bag, but i wasn't sure if you would have wanted me to control her that little bit, or not.

So... I left it open :)

That's fine. Minor stuff like that is fine. The flight attendant will be offering everyone whatever their favorite beverage is alcohol or otherwise
