My character will be a local who left to attend university and is (reluctantly) returning through her University of Miami marine biology program. She'll be a daughter of one of the local Big Deal families, but a black sheep and a troublemaker. Social hurricane, self sabotage, staying out all night type of gal. Stoked to hear these other ideas.

A wreck researcher being on-island at the same time as this university research program will be a hoot.

The idea would be that they are after the SS Vika and on its manifest carrying heavy metals. And suspected Mercury. A storm forced them off track in 1944 and the ship never made it to port, thry reached and a report has a that it course came close potentially to the area and thry are chasing foen old records etc and so to try and see if it's worth sending a full survey ship out. 

As its aging their trying to locate the wreck, identify its manifest.  to check and if needed prepare for salvage recovery team to be sent. 

Yup, I'm not sure on exact details for charceter yet, but I have a fun tattoo idea for them. 

It definitely could be fun!
