The Native (actually Chinese)

This is the story of a young man who shipwrecks on an island while taking a long solo trip around the world in a first class superyacht. Soon he will discover that he is not alone on the island. It is home to three beautiful girls who shipwrecked before him. The island is not exactly safe as it is home to prehistoric creatures.

Your character
Should be a male. He should be wealthy enough to have a superyacht (or possibly have a family wealthy enough to let him take a yacht out for a vacation). He should be adventurous enough to have been willing to travel the world. He’d have to know how to handle a yacht. He should be athletic. (Although looks could be deceiving. He might be dying and want a last adventure before he dies. But he would be asymptomatic.)

You will need a good CS. No special format (but please hide any animated gifs). Impress me a little.

About the Island
The Barracuda departed Hawaii and ran into the storm about 500 nm southwest - halfway to the Midway Atoll. Unbeknownst to you you have slipped into an alternate Earth. The island is a one of a group of five islands. The region of this group of islands makes intermittent contact with our Earth. Because of this, from time to time radio signals may get through. This doesn’t mean you will be able to get a signal out. But hey, you can try.

The wildlife will be something that might have developed back during the Pleistocene Era in a tropical climate. It will resemble the megafauna of Australia and Insular locales both prehistoric and extinct. Examples will include the Haast Eagle, Moa, Australian brush turkey, cassowary, Meiolania, marsupial lions, etc. Some of the creatures will be an original design by me, but with some thoughts to evolutionary development - not so much for horror movies.

The islands are volcanic. The island the group landed on is about the size of Hawaii which is about 80 miles across at the widest point. (My picture doesn’t do the island justice.)

Yacht - SS Barracuda
The yacht shown is just a suggestion. If you chose another, find one with a good deck plan. Main reason I selected the Ferretti 960 was because I could read the layout better than most. It has a hybrid engine. Not as fast as some other yachts, but it has the range for long voyages (3000+ nm). It was fully stocked two days before when they left Hawaii. The nearest island to where you shipwreck is 500+ miles. And it is across open ocean. So this is a necessity.

RP Start
The RP opens in the Summer of 2025 at the earliest. Even a little later would work, but let’s not go to awful far. I’ll modify my characters based on the date. I will handle the opening post. As a heads up, your yacht will arrived pretty much vertical, but beached on rocks with bad gashes in the bottom. Whether it will get washed back out to sea in a later storm is undecided. But there should at least be time to scavenge as much as possible or even figure out a way to keep it from being lost.
