So one thing since you don't decide characters moral spectrum there is literally no balance, as there can be 6 antagonists,2 protagonists, and 1 neutral it isn't really balanced. Also, you don't specify if's there n end goal or not so for all we know we're gonna be stuck on the island until the day we die. And the third problem is that characters can be op without being "op" the reason is that in most roleplay op is being too good at too many things as in most, there are a lot of skills that fall into different specializations but in this instance, if you are an expert survivalist would pretty broken as their knowledge to survive without modern technology would bring a lot of unfair benefits, like becoming leader, being able to find and collect insane amounts of supplies. So if you could fix that it'd be better

Also interested, but also I can't help but disagree with @Ioua8654, in literally every rp you decide your character's morals, that's part of being in an rp. Again, with the whole 'being too op' thing, irl and in fiction people have different skill sets, that's just, y'know, life, and something you have in every rp. As long as it's a skill it makes sense for that character to have, then I don't see the the problem, and as always, final say on acceptance is at the GM's discretion. As for the end goal, @Takyon already said there was a plot - I for one would rather not know how it ends before it's even started, also this is only the interest check, lighten up a little. You don't need to know everything right now this second.

Dude, are you kidding me? Just because I didn't list every single detail doesn't mean I haven't thought about it. Seems to me like you're just saying stuff for the sake of having something to say. None of your criticisms would be real issues.

But hell, lemme address the criticisms now anyway just for future reference. @Ioua8654

Q: since you don't decide characters moral spectrum there is literally no balance, as there can be 6 antagonists,2 protagonists, and 1 neutral it isn't really balanced
A: This isn't a video game. You crash on an island with (mostly) strangers. This isn't League of Legends. I'm not going to decide people's characters for them.

Q: you don't specify if's there n end goal or not so for all we know we're gonna be stuck on the island until the day we die
A: Yeah, sorry for not giving away the entire plot of the RP in the interest check. But for your sake I'll spell it out. The 'end goal' is survive. Get home, if you can.

Q: characters can be op without being "op" the reason is that in most roleplay op is being too good at too many things as in most, there are a lot of skills that fall into different specializations but in this instance, if you are an expert survivalist would pretty broken as their knowledge to survive without modern technology would bring a lot of unfair benefits, like becoming leader, being able to find and collect insane amounts of supplies
A: Again. Not a video game. Not every character starts at level 1. It's just not realistic. There are bound to be leaders, or people with more talents. A doctor is naturally more valuable than a journalist, for example. It's part of what adds variety. In addition to this, I will be rejecting applications I feel are ill fitting or overly OP, but if they are realistically OP they will be accepted. But every RP has this, I don't see what's uniquely wrong with mine in this regard.

Edit: also, the likelihood of a expert survivalist being on a plane of 120~ people is extremely slim so let's go ahead and rule that out. I also stated most of the main characters would be High School students, so... not expert survivalists.

Instead of rushing out an OOC, here's a rough CS. If you want to start working on your character, go ahead. Format it however you want. DM me if you have any questions/get it finished.

Aww, it isn't? Can it be Heroes of the Storm so I can be Uther and heal everyone? :-P

But seriously, I'm interested in this. The premise sounds interesting and if I end up being busy at a later point, it'd be easy to kill off my character. I'll work on brainstorming a CS.
