[OOC] The Island

[wolverbells]

I'm ready to go when y'all are! My working schedule is pretty steady since I'm in the military, and I'll be able to post often.

[Lamb_XIII]

I'm excited to get started!

[Rogue Sloth]

On second thought, I think I'll save my second character for another RP and just use Clara in this one

[liah]

Ok, that's fine, Summer. And as for this second character thing, I was thinking, just to save people time, and so you guys wouldn't have to write out an entire BIO. We could just give them a name, age and a face (picture). Or of not, do as you please. But the more I think about having to write up and control a second character, the more I don't want to do it. And I don't think I am. BUUUUUT. When are you guys ready to start?

SWEEEEEEET. LET'S GET STARTED!!!!!! WOOOOOO!
As in our first post, I expect it to be a good one! But as we go along, you don't have to do a crap load of paragraphs or anything. One or two is fine. I know it gets hard to reply sometimes if there isn't much to say.

[Toxx]

xD I'm ready. Do you want to begin?

[NarcissisticPotato]

Name: Alanna Monroe

Age: 23

Appearance:


Weight: 130 Ibs

Height: 5'5

Personality: If, say, one wasn't completely lost in the middle of nowhere on a desert island then Alanna would be an upstanding citizen. Working two part time jobs, finishing her last year in college and maintaining a well-known blog on fashion. Of course, having skills in designing clothing is really no particular set of skills but hey. Alanna is the type of girl that screams at things if:
- they look weird
- they skitter
- they have more than two legs
Apart from that though, she's quite a decent girl and is usually good at bringing people together. Her cheery mood is very rarely interrupted and you'd be hard pressed to find her in a distasteful mood.

History: I would really love to tell you that Alanna was the only daughter of some famous adventurer and that she was a natural at it. Unfortunately and yet fortunately, Alanna was born to a pair of completely normal parents in suburban New York. Ever since a young age, she was always drawing and designing things, that was just who she was and she was always rather good at it. Another thing she was amazing at was making friends - seriously, Alanna was like the perfect storm of cheery moods and it would take a lot to dim it down even a little.

People liked her, she was pretty and generally really easy to get along with. When she was a teenager, life was easy - she never suffered like others did at the hands of bullies. In fact she was like a little UN peace envoy and brought bully and bully-victim together into harmony. Ok, she may not have been that good but she was pretty good at it. As she became older, she became more and more interested in fashion and quite suddenly the idea of becoming a fashion designer latched on.

So, she got to college and did rather well and was just about to finish when bam! Life decides to take all her lemons away and cause a severe engine-failure to sprout in her plane. That would be able to be dealt with if it wasn't for the fact that they were in the middle of the Pacific. Long story short, she goes through the most terrifying few moments of her life were she's certain she's going to die before she receives a nasty hit to the head and is knocked out cold. Her seating arrangement after that was probably what saved her when her body naturally floated free from the wreck.

Belongings: All she had was a light backpack slung over her shoulder with some pretty useless items when it comes to surviving on islands. It contains her iPod (probably broke), hairbrush, sketchbook, some pencils, headache tablets, some plasters and finally, a picture of her mum, dad and her older sister. Her glasses are in a protective case in her bag as well but they have a pretty high chance of being messed up.

Biggest fear/disability:
Were does one even begin with a creature of such colossal cowardice. First of all, the thought of being completely alone and being drove crazy (like in castaway) is almost as terrifying as anything that crawls, skitters or launches itself at her. Bug repellent is a constant in her life, like her glasses or that picture of her family. As mentioned, she does need glasses otherwise things get way too blurry for comfort and she has to deal with splitting headaches and the inability to focus.

I love your BIO. Thank youuu! And sorry if my reply sucks, guys. I'm a little rusty.
I'm still editing and adding to my post too, so don't even read that thing yet O_O

[NarcissisticPotato]

There, I think that's a record in terms of how quickly I just put that together. Probably sucks.

[Rogue Sloth]

I think I'll add a post tomorrow. I'm feeling lazy tonight

[liah]

It's fine, Potato! And alright, Summer!
Also, my first post is crap. But I tried and I think that counts for something :)

[Toxx]

It was an excellent post. :)

Glad that we got this started smoothly~

[liah]

Haha, well thank you! I love everyone's post so far and I can't wait to see who posts something next :)

[Saccharin]

Name: Nathaniel Schwartz

Age: 24

Height and Weight: 1m86, 76 kg

Personality: At home he is notably opinionated person, very open-minded in debates between ideas but very stubborn when it comes to the more practical things, like sharing or cooperating when with roommates. He’s a bit inert and aloof when nothing sparks his interest, and gets bored rather easily, but sometimes he becomes manic, eccentrically reactive. He has a tendency to be blunt and sighs a lot, making sure everyone knows how irritated he is, which in turn definitely irritated them. He reads into things other people say, and is a bit self-absorbed in the way he thinks a lot of people are belittling them when they’re only trying to help.

History: Nathaniel Schwarz grew up in Alsace, France, and was, other than being slightly more academically motived than others, rather average. From a young age he was fascinated with a range of different subjects, adept in being extremely passionate about learning more on it and then forgetting the whole thing entirely. His parents were intellectuals, well-endowed intellectuals in fact, and supported this kind of behavior naturally. He ended up the annoying smart kid, but the only thing exceptional he’d done was skip sixth grade, the grade where you learn nothing but how to organize a locker, basically. And maybe he would have benefitted from this, being pretty a rather scattered person in general. But in the end his efforts still paid off and he got a partial scholarship. Things were going smoothly, and with the help of his parents he already had his life planned out – he had just finished pre-med and was flying to Japan for medical school abroad – until things started running off the intended path and then right into the middle of the ocean, apparently.

Belongings: Most of his belongings are on another plane, and whatever belongings he had on hand were lost to the sea, so this doesn’t really matter. The only thing he currently possesses is a black pen, a pencil and an eraser. Soaking wet.

Fear/Disability: His English grammar is crap, which may come by inconvenient. He can’t swim that well and never really played non-mandatory sports, not from lack of experience but because he just never wanted to – and thus he is not going to be the best survivor. His fears consists of normal things, but he’s especially jumpy about gross stuff. Nathaniel does not like getting dirty. Sinc he's going to be a doctor, he's alright with guts and blood - just not weird slimy substances and such. He's also not very cooperative and is a reserved character, which I guess is bad.

Appearance

(blond hair blue eyes what a white boy)

Probably wearing formal clothes. Let's say a black suit with a dark blue tie striped with silver, over a black shirt, under a brown long coat, and fancy leather shoes.
