Hunted 2 DT

Name: Tarrion

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Appearance/Picture:


Skills: Tarrion's number one gifting is and always has been music. He's an incredible flute and guitar player, as well as a talented singer. The group knows, but nobody else does. His secret talent is dance. Music aside, Tarrion is now a master woods-man and survivalist. He has very good aim and knows how to shoot. Put a gun in his hands and it's like he was born with one attached to his body. He's an excellent climber, smart, and very resourceful.

Weaknesses: Because of an injury that happened when he was five, Tarrion limps on his left leg. For a while, this seemed to go away. Lately, it's only been getting worse and it causes him a lot of pain. He is also constantly exhausted, due to nightmares that leave him lying awake for hours. Because of this, he often seems groggy and has a tendency to fall asleep at random times during the day. He's hypoglycemic, though this has subsided. He can't go more than seven hours without food, however, and has to eat as soon as he wakes up. (Assuming he gets a full night of sleep.) His exhaustion also makes him a tad temperamental. Do not irritate him when he seems tired.

Personality: Before the island, Tarrion was illusive and quiet. He would retreat into himself for hours on end and think non-stop. Since coming to the island, however, he's changed quite a bit personality-wise. He's definitely more outgoing, and relates better to other people. He still does have his quiet moments, where he'll limp away to think on his own for few hours. Every since Dominique came along, he's been a hopeless mush-ball around her, and he's always in a better mood when she's around. He's usually got a fairly soft heart, and wouldn't leave anybody out in the cold. However, if you make it onto his bad side, he will not hesitate to make your life a living nightmare. He's a tad on the overprotective side, and since he views everybody in the group as his family, he will not stand for anybody hurting them. He probably won't talk much to any new-comers, and might avoid them after he brings them in, but it's more or less just because he doesn't have the energy to teach or make conversation.

History: He lived with his mother and father, two younger sisters and older brother in the largest village of the island. His life was rather drawl, but he was engaged to a woman named Cerian before being taken here. The two really didn't get along, and he doesn't miss her a bit. He would much, much rather really marry Dominique.

After being taken to the island, he couldn't help but notice Dominique's fear of men. He was automatically curious. He wasn't the only one. Another man named Dimitri seemed to have his eyes set on the girl, too. It caused a lot of fights, but Dimitri ended up dead in the end. Tarrion couldn't say he missed the man.

Eventually, all thanks to a good old game of Truth Or Dare, he managed to get Dominique. During this time, he adopted Annie-May as his little sister, and started to look at the rest of the group as family. The next thing that happened was Tarrion's proposal. It was more symbolic than anything, since the pair couldn't technically get married. Then Kyle came along-- a man from Dominique's past. He was abusive, and Tarrion wouldn't stand for it. The man ended up with bullet wounds in his legs and arms and tied to a tree among other things. Kyle disappeared one night, along with Tarrion. Where to? The Supervisor's HQ, of course. They drugged Tarrion, since Samantha had promised Kyle he would win back Dominique after he 'saved' her from Tarrion. In short, he ended up hurting the woman he loved, which was a turning point for Kyle, who died after falling in love with Annie.

The last major event was Dominique's pregnancy. It was a moment of panic, especially when Samantha came by and kidnapped Dominique. During this time, Tarrion was down-right miserable. Ryder and Gemma had vanished, Dominique was gone. Life was hard. And then Dominique showed up again, weak and carrying Tarrion's daughter in her arms. Ryder returned with an injured Gemma, but things turned out alright. They built the walls, explored more of the island, discovered Shophie's secrets, and now they're here.

Other: Tarrion has a pet Falcon named Shalo, who seemed to have disappeared for the longest time. Eventually and much to Tarrion's delight, the bird returned and decided to stick around. The group has managed to train her to carry messages and emergency supplies when they go out on hunting trips or exploration exploits.

As for Tarrion's nightmares-- well, he doesn't actually know. He can never remember anything about them. All he knows is that something horrific happens and he wakes up in a cold sweat, heart hammering, ears ringing-- and he's absolutely terrified. The fact that he doesn't know what of only makes it worse. Usually he's too out of breath to scream, but he does do so on occasion.

He thinks of Dominique as his wife, and if anybody asks what they are together, that's what he'll say. “We may as well be married. She's my wife, and I'm her husband.” His nick-name for Sophie is Bubbles, though nobody really knows why. Including himself.

Up for love: I would say yes, but he's crazy about Dominique. So no.

********************************************************************************************************************

Name: Ryder

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Personality: Ryder always has been, and probably always will be a gigantic teddy-bear. He has a heart that's twelve times too big for his chest, and tends to be the guy you can sit down next to and spill your guts out. Being on the island for so long hasn't hardened him a bit, in fact, it's probably only made him softer. He has, however, gotten more defensive. He' more willing to stand up for himself, which is probably because of his past with Duncan. He can't stand seeing his friends, or people in general, hurt. Especially if that person just so happens to be Gemma. He doesn't make enemies easily, but even if he does, he'd much rather avoid them than fight. You pick on any of his friends, however, and he will get protective.

Strengths: Ryder is a master carpenter. He's very strong and somewhat agile for his size. His skills have only improved a good deal since coming to the island, and if anything, he's much more resourceful and creative with his work. He's a very good problem solver, has good visual judgement, and excellent math skills. He's also very good with his hand gun, though he tries to use it as little as possible. (It's a good skill to have in a place like this, though) Very good at keeping secrets, and always tries to see both sides of things.

Weaknesses: Ryder may be able to pack a good punch, but he has no fighting style. If his punch hits its mark, he'll consider himself lucky. He's a bit of a push-over, and quite honestly doesn't know how to say 'no.' He usually finds himself getting so overwhelmed with doing things he's promised others, that he forgets half of the things he really needs to do to keep the fort in one piece. He has mild asthma, and though he hasn't had an attack in years, he's afraid of having one and not having the right medicine.

Up for Love: Nope. Gemma has him wrapped around her little finger.

History: His history has been pretty much the same as Tarrion's, subtract the fiance. For a time, he was a bit jealous that his little brother would be settling down before himself, and didn't quite understand why Tarrion was so upset about it. Especially considering getting married before your older brother should have been considered an honour. After Tarrion disappeared, Ryder started to see Cerian for who she really was. And the more he saw why Tarrion was so upset about having to marry her, the more he missed his little brother. He tried his best to be strong for his parents and his sisters' sakes. Only at night, or during his long walks, did he allow himself to break down.

Being taken to the island was both horrifying and wonderful for him. There's where he and Tarrion were reunited, and where he met Gemma. At first, Ryder was unsure about Tarrion and Dominique's relationship, since Tarrion WAS engaged. Soon enough, he figured that since they probably wouldn't be going back home anyways, it wouldn't matter too much.

He started going soft on Gemma from what he remembers as the beginning. From attempting to impress her with his carpentry skills when he built the chicken coup, to going out to gather wood, to tripping and nearly squashing her... to Duncan's mysterious appearance in the woods, he had a special spot in his over-sized heart for her. Duncan, however, was a problem. The man gave Ryder more issues than he could bare.

That's when the couple decided to ditch camp and spend a while on their own. They left right before Nazira woke up, and right before Tarrion found out that Dominique was pregnant.

They didn't come back until Gemma was attacked by a beast, a few days before Dominique's return. It was right after Dominique came back with Sophie that Ryder decided to build the group a fort. It took a good, long time, but he did a pretty good job. With the others' help of course.

Other: His secret dream is getting back to home and dragging Gemma with him, at which point, he plans on asking her to marry him. He doesn't quite understand his brother's insistance that he and Dominique are technically married, but he DOES understand the passion behind it.

He has a secret stash of papers, in which he has maps, drawings, plans and charts... it's all an effort to bring the group back home. Now he's only hesitant because this is the family he knows. What will happen if they DO end up going home?

*******************************************************************************************************************************
Sammy is here!


Name: Samantha Jones

Age: 32

Gender: Female

Personality: Samantha is a cold-hearted woman who cares more about herself and her project than anybody else. She has no interest or pity for children, women or men, and will hurt whoever she has to to get what she wants. She's sinister, independant, stubborn and untrusting-- as well as untrustworthy. Somewhere deep inside, the woman does have emotions. The only one who will ever see them is Damon, and she will make sure of it. The only soft spot she seems to have in her heart is for that man. Anybody else, she'd kill without a second thought. All in all, Samantha hates any other human being, and can't bring herself to let go of her past grudges. It doesn't matter anyways, considering every who's hurt her is dead. The kits she sends to the group are more or less to keep them alive until she can release her viruses, and ultimately, a strain she's been working on since before the project even started. She has her motives, though they still haven't been found out.

Skills: Samantha, despite spending most of her time studying, in front of computer screens, or other such things, has excellent aim. She can use a gun (or throwing knives) like nobody's business. She's extremely intelligent and very observant. She's also got sources... lots and lots of sources. (She will never tell who these are, though.)

Weaknesses: Samantha has a major superiority complex, which has landed her in lots of trouble. She doesn't know how to let go of a grudge, and will hold it against a person until the day they die-- often until later. She is blind in one eye, though it rarely shows. Her temper is horrible and it takes her ages to cool down after it's been set off.

Appearance: Shockingly enough, Samantha doesn't look like a horrid beast. She has brown, curly hair and bright hazel eyes. She walks straight, rarely slouches and has a cold look that demands your attention. A smile this big is rare, and usually saved for Damon. She looks insent enough, but don't let it fool you.


Up for love: Heh... let's just say Damon's lucky HE got her without a bullet through the head. (He came close once, though)

History Samantha had a rough child hood. She was in and out of places, and the only man she was ever close to was her brother. (No, not a romantic relationship. She wasn't close to anybody as a child.) She had always cared more about science and technology than people, and though other little girls asked Sam if she would play, she always refused.

It wasn't so bad until her brother was killed. After that, her life seemed to take a very quick trip downwards. She started hating people... all people. And then came Griffin. Sam's first assumption was that he loved her, and she couldn't deny she loved him. Until he tried to kill her for reasons completely beyond Sam's understanding. We'll just say Griffin died a very... brutal death.

It was when she found out about these islands, all thanks to a few allies she had on the field. With them, she helped raise up the project, and then one by one... they disappeared. They're still around, but not even Sam knows where they ran off to.

During her time on the island, Samantha has succesfully created trouble in camp, sent along many a survival kit, genetically engineered different beasts and made some wolves grow to around 50% larger than their normal size. Her favourite accomplishment? That she was able to do what she did to Sophie with no real side effects.

Oh, and I must mention that the wonderful Damon somehow managed to earn her love... definitely not an easy task. (He was slapped many times in the process, and had a gun held to his head a few)

Other: She is the leader of the Supervisors, and the only one who knows the full and true colours of the opperation.

Name: Tiaan Fairgrove

Age: 17 ½

Gender: Female

Appearance: Red head with two short pigtails and a cheeky grin on her face, quite tall for her age, often mistaken for being older. Has lovely blue eyes that seem almost surreal, covered in freckles on her, only thing odd about her is a scar on her cheek which still burns to touch.



Personality: She’s quite shy and tended to hang around with boys older than her, feeling more mature than most prissy girls her own age. True she prefers girls, but the boys are more fans of adventure and exploring. Her hobbies include swimming and play fighting. She’s very precocious and curious a bad combination. She prefers the outdoors to staying inside, always looking for new adventure a new challenge.
So pretty much very tomboyish like

Strengths: Strong swimmer and can actually fight rather well; though some people would construe her method as dirty fighting she doesn’t care. She’s also rather athletic. She seems in tune with nature and has a natural empathy for it.

Weaknesses: Isn’t very academic at all, when people studying she wanted to explore the world, chose fun out of education. Thus she can’t exactly read or write well. Also is secretly claustrophobic.

History: Tiaan lived with her 20 year old brother, Jaren and her father, a blacksmith. Her mother died in child birth, and as a result, Tiaan has grown up with men all her life. She seemed to live in her brother's shadow, and went on mostly ignored by her father. Jaren was, after all, easier for their father to relate to. When she was very young, she would follow Jaren around whenever he wasn't helping their father, even after Dad told her she needed to learn how to make some real friends and have tea parties like other little girls her age. Instead, she seemed to have other attractions towards them.

Nonetheless, Tiaan grew to be more of a tom-boy than a girly-girly. While her peers would play with dolls, she'd be hiking around the woods, climbing trees and throwing mud at her brother. Her child-hood wasn't very eventful otherwise, and she's been waiting for something big to happen. This was the last thing she had been expecting.

Up For Love: She's more into girls, but most girls her age are less than desirable or entertaining.

Other: Lesbian

What You Packed (In your bag, obviously. Remember, you only had 10 minutes): Swimming gear, outdoor clothes, ornamental dagger and a coil of rope.

Name: Dominique - Dom - Domi

Age: Eighteen, almost nineteen.

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Personality: When Domi first arrived at the island, she was timid, afraid, and very distant. She couldn't even make eye contact out of fear. As time grew on, she learned to trust the others. Thanks to some wild mayhem and drama, Domi has learned to trust others and stand up for herself. She still becomes timid around new men.

She still won't fight, not even if her life depended on it. But she will defend her loved ones to the end of the earth. She's very motherly and kind to everyone. She'll always be seen near Tarrion, they're very close.

Strengths: She's a terrific cook and great friend ((Will try and think of more later >>))

Weaknesses: She hates solitude and the dark. She's still afraid of not being able to help, but it's not as big of a fear as it used to be.

Up For Love: Sorry, nope. Tarrion is the only one for her! She has a family... a real family. She would never betray them.

History: In her past she couldn't get near any man. Having been raped and abused by her past boyfriend. Her parents abandoned her as a child, leaving her to fend for herself in one of the worst villages on the island.

When she was abducted and sent to the island she was extremely paranoid and afraid. She couldn't be near Tarrion and when Dimitri came along everything became worse. Lord knows what happened to Dimitri. Soon after Dimitri's disappearance, Domi fell in love with Tarrion and him with her.

Domi had a little run in with a certain ex-boyfriend who turned the camp upside down. Hurting her adopted family and resulting in Domi's attempted suicide, and Tarrion and Domi growing even closer. In the end, Kyle died and Annie was heart broken.

Camp was just starting to piece itself back together, Tarrion's brother and a few other mysterious people had joined the group. Tarrion and her became... Intimate. She later found out she was pregnant with Tarrion's child. After the baby was born, everyone knew they needed to smarten up.

Other:

What They Packed: Domi packed what clothes she had, and her cooking pots and pans.

Name: Seth Baxter

Age: 17

Gender: Male


Appearance:

Seth stands at 6 ft and has a lean toned body with zero body fat, thanks to his picky eating and constant exercise. He has evenly toned skin color with a few freckles. His brown hair falls around his face and he has bright green eyes. He prides himself on having a symetrical face.

Personality: Seth loves beauty in all of its forms. Nature fascinates him as does beautiful women. He thinks that no one should be restricted to only one woman, so he likes to sample around. This makes him very flirtatious and even if not flirting he is sizing up a women’s beauty. Because of his attention to detail he likes things organized and finds symmetry and patterns to be preferable to disorder.

Seth is also very arrogant, he considers himself to be perfect in his looks and cannot be told otherwise. Those that disagree with him, he suspects are just jealous. This arrogance does not connect to his art since he rarely shows anybody his work.

He has no filters and rarely thinks about what he says before he says it. He gives his comments even less thought afterword. On top of that he seems to relish in offending people.

Despite his rather abrasive personality he suffers the delusion that everyone likes him. Someone not liking him is a concept he does not understand. He also has the odd habit of mentally making any imperfection he may gain into a vain positive. For instance, If he gets cut and gets a scar, he will simply say it makes him look “dangerous and hot.” Such delusions of grandeur are common for him.


Strengths: Seth is a talented artist and has a keen eye for details. He’s also been said to have a photographic memory since he is able to observe a scene and paint it nearly perfectly later. Being as that he spends a good deal of time observing nature and drawing it, he is accustomed to being outside. Seth did well in school. Thanks to the years of balancing several girls and lying, creative thinking and planning became second nature to him. He was once described as a brightly colored snake. "Colorful and beautiful but sly and manipulative." While this is techinically bad, it is a strength that makes him a good planner and strategist.

Weaknesses: He does not like to take orders and yet, he does not wish to lead, which makes him very uncooperative with teams. While okay at physical activities he is too lazy to do much and prefers letting others do the work while he watches clouds. His arrogance makes him slightly delusional about reality. He does not do well in stressful situations and panics when faced with real danger.

Up For Love: Sure, if you can get past his ego. The old sweet Seth is still there. He is just really, really, really deep down. A girl will have to work hard to soften him.

History:


Seth was not always so self absorbed. Seth was the third child born to Molly and Frank Baxter. His sister Megan, who was older than him by a year always chastised him for being sloppy. She herself was desired by several guys in school and had a baby when she was sixteen. At this time Seth's mother gave birth to one last boy, but neither made it out of delivery. His father fell into a drunken stupors and stopped going to work, soon the family teetered on the edge of poverty, but this did not stop Seth’s brother from living it up. Seth’s brother Kevin had to always have the nicest things and look his best at all times.


When Seth was 13 he was nice and sweet, possibly too nice. He developed a crush on a girl a little older than him named Tory. This infatuation did not go unnoticed by Tory and she allowed him to be in her presence as her “pet” she sent him on errands and including any and all work that she had to do. She awarded him with affection and he believed that they were dating. Seth already interested in art took his skills to drawing several pictures of her. His disillusionment was shattered when he found that she was more interested in his brother and had simply used him to meet him. Seth tore up all his pictures of her. Heartbroken he decided to never allow such a thing to happen again.

Over the years he’s adopted his brother’s philosophy on life. This philosophy stated that girls were simply transitory and looks mattered more than anything. His brother had always been a playboy that never settled with one girl, and broke up with girls for superficial reasons. Seth moved into his brother’s apartment with his sister after his father killed himself. For a long time the Baxter house was known as the party house as the three siblings always had to be center of attention. His two siblings of settled down. His sister moved out after having another baby and married the father. His brother also married and had a son. Seth now thinks his brother is weak and was happy to go.



Other: His morning rountine usually takes about an hour. He only wears button down shirts, considering t-shirts too plain. He also has a slight obsession with patterns and colors.

His siblings were potentials for the island and may still be.


Kevin Baxter 25




Megan Baxter 21


What They Packed: His art supplies: Several sketch pads, paints, pencils, chalk and clothes, mirror, brush and other grooming products.

Name: Sophie

Age: 2

Gender: Female

Appearance: Sophie has a typical two-year old body. Pudgy belly, squishable cheeks and an adorable smile that scrunches up her whole face. She has dark brown hair and eyes like her parents, though she looks more like Dominique than Tarrion. The only real oddity of the little girl is the tail Samantha gave her. About a foot long and covered in brown fur. The strangest part is that otherwise, there's no abnormal bumps or lumps of fur anywhere on the girl's body.


The Sophie Basics: Sophie is unusually curious-- even for a two-year-old. She doesn't know how to sit still unless you give her something that absolutely fascinates her, and has an obsession with picking things up to see what's underneath of them.. Rocks, logs, pots that have been tipped upside down... She's looking for something, though nobody (probably not even herself) knows what it is. It isn't surprising though, as the girl's tail wasn't the only result of being in Samantha's hands for the first 9 months of her existence.

Sophie is extremely intelligent for her age, thanks to a few experimental mental-development drugs and hormones. Her speech seems to be the only thing developing at a normal pace, with the exception of her physical growth. That aside, her physical abilities are something strange, too. Thanks to even more experimental drug and hormones, she was able to completely support herself and hobble around by 10 months, which caused a few problems for her parents, seeing how busy she is. She's unusually strong for her size, as well as surprisingly fast. Despite this, she seems to bruise extremely easily, and her cuts will often bleed more than they should. This worries everybody on the island, and they never go anywhere with her unless they have a steady supply of bandages on-hand.

Overall though, Sophie is a sweetheart, if not a bit stubborn. She makes different 'crafts' whenever she can find the right supplies, and likes to hand them out as gifts to her 'family. She hates being yelled at, or even glared at, and will start blubbering immediately if such should happen. She's a very sensitive little girl, and any form of insult (oh yes, she can tell) will have her very upset. She adores hugs and kisses, and tends to cling to the closest person's legs if they refuse to pick her up. If she notices you alone or sad, expect a hug, even if you didn't want one. She'll sneak up on, just you wait and see.

She hates it when things are too high for her to reach, and will do anything in her power to figure out how to get to them. (By putting an object on a high shelf, you're just begging her to steal it on you.)

Other: She has a doll that her Auntie Gemma made her, fashioned from old scraps of material and stuffed with goat fur, falcon feathers, and dried grass.

Name: Micah

Age: 15

Gender: male

Appearance: He's not the one to grab your eye. His hair is dark and somewhere between wavy and curly, often falling just over forget-me-not blue eyes. He's tall and skinny, resembling a pole or, on a bad day, a twig. His ears stick out, just a little, and he often plays with his hands, out of habit. Reminds people of some sort of bird... maybe a stray dog, even.



Personality: Awkward, a follower, and a dreamer. He's often spaced out, but he still takes notice of the world around him. He's a visionary, and has innovative and creative ideas... that have never been used. He doesn't feel trapped, per se, but he's never felt at home. He looks at things in a totally different way than most; winter is not a time to work harder to provide, it's a time to relax and test the ways of karma and good chance. His family often got very upset with him about that certain theory.

He's very theoretical and often doesn't have much faith in his ability. He's the scrawny farm boy who can't even plant a seed right, why would he be able to act on his greatest plans? But from what you can see, he's just incredibly spacey, and often spouts random facts that relate to the situation, even if you don't think so. Shy and introverted. Once in a while, if things build up intensely, he'll clamp his hands over his ears to try and focus on his thoughts, often closing his eyes, and if it doesn't work, he'll scream his thoughts directly. It has impact.

Strengths: Clever and creative. He's very smart, and can offer a whole new perspective. He's a fast runner, he's strong from the work he did at home, and doesn't have a temper; he's resilient and practically a rag doll. You can throw him off a skyscraper and he'd get up, look up, write something on his arm, and then pad off. He can go through everything... physically. He's very good with blades, from whittling to fencing. Also has great aim; he was the family hunter when things got tight. Bow and arrow, of course. Can forge simple things.

Weaknesses: Awkward, introverted, unopinionated (on most things). He doesn't function like everyone wants him to. He can't fist fight, and can't kill another person, for the life of him. He's often the first to offer himself up, and his sense of self preservation only kicks in at the last second. He comes off as uncaring, but inside, he breaks a little with every insult. At this point, he's in tatters.

Up For Love: Sure... good luck understanding how he works.

History: Micah grew up in a simple farm family, and spent most of his days hiding from the cruelest bunch of his brothers in the corn fields. He observed, he thought, he watched the sky. He became known in town as the Cloudwatcher- the boy that surely wasn't healthy. One of his family that didn't go running after girls and didn't throw themselves a hundred percent at what they did? Unheard of.

His family didn't love him, and the feeling was mutual. Micah tried to please, tried to do things right, but he just didn't see the sense in it. If he wasn't lying comfortably among the stalks, in his sea of green, he was at the blacksmith's, his only other refuge. The blacksmith was kind and understanding, and taught Micah a few tricks, including fencing. It's part of the reason he's strong, and all of the reason he's not entirely drawn into himself.

Other: Wears a hemp bracelet he made and a puzzle ring he got from the blacksmith.





What They Packed: A collapsable short sword, a bow and quiver of arrows, a knife, a trench coat (the only coat he owns), his mother's locket (sometimes he wears it under his shirt), and several journals, with pens.

*deleted*

(I am insulted. No spot saved for Naz, who promises to post more? )

Took me a while 'cause I realized I didn't know what kind of sports/athletics we had. XD So it gets kind of confusing. I'll edit those details when I find out more about the island we lived on.

Name: Jackson Teel

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Appearance:


Personality: Jackson was, and always will be, considered a jock. He's very athletic, enjoying almost any field sport. He always seems to be smiling and having a good time. One of the items he brings with him is a ball so that he can play catch with whoever he'll meet wherever he was going (which so happened to be an outdoor island zomg!). Jackson's very outgoing and will go out of his way to get people on their feet and having fun with him. Quiet is for old people. Party while we're young!

His marks in school were average only because he's too focused with the outdoors. Though he's extremely athletic, his school training is centered in the medical field. Granted he's only had a couple years of helping his parents before he was whisked away, he knows quite a bit about first aid and all that silly junk about saving lives. (Does being treated himself count as experience?) So even if he's a bright kid, he doesn't let it show. He's a big kid at heart.

Despite all this, Jackson is also very defensive. If he believes in something, he's going to defend himself until proven wrong. This may be caused by always playing on the offensive in sports or because, in the medical field, you have to be prepared with more than one possible argument, but nonetheless, he'll make his opinion known if he knows it's a serious issue to be dealt with. Otherwise, he doesn't quite care what the decisions are as long as he, at least, has a baseball in his pocket.

Finally, he's not considered a flirtatious character, but he's more eager to approach a woman than a man when wanting to do something. He's had more than one girlfriend, definitely! His longest relationship lasted a few months before he... well, he found another girl to play catch with. He's not good at the whole dedicating-yourself-to-a-relationship thing.

Strengths: As mentioned way more than once, he's very athletic. He's strong as a football player (maybe because he plays?) and his endurance is high due to all the running he's faced with. He's also good at taking orders as long as they at least make a little sense. If they're dumb--well, he can smell stupidity a mile away. That's why he's always on the offensive--so he knows where to attack. He's also not only physically strong but emotionally strong as well. He can keep his cool under tight spots which was always useful in a game.

Weaknesses: Creativity is nonexistent. He also doesn't trust himself enough to voice his opinions, which isn't just a weakness for him but can also be a weakness for the whole team. He's not an excellent student, and therefore, he's not as smart as he could be. Just like with many athletes, his intellect isn't as strong as his abs. His attention span isn't that large either. If sat in a meeting, his mind will start to wander if it gets boring. Keep him interested or you'll lose him.

Up For Love: Sure thing!

History: Jackson lives with a loving family who brought him up in the most traditional fashion. His dad was also an athlete in football in his childhood days, though his focus was mostly with archery, and became a doctor. His mother was into more art and gymnastics after which she also trained to become a doctor. (Obviously, the creativity skipped Jackson.) Jackson's also got two older sisters--Shelly (24) and Molly (22). Only they are allowed to call him Jack, and even that leaves a bad taste in his mouth. But he loves his sisters and he loves his parents. And his dog.

He had his black lab, Skipper, for the past couple years now. Jackson loves his dog, as does the rest of the family. He's been a very friendly dog -- very hyperactive. If Jackson were a dog, they found his long-lost brother.

Football and baseball are Jackson's main sports in school, but he has also dabbled with basketball, swimming, and track. He doesn't count archery since it's almost second nature to him. His dad taught him archery as a child for years until Jackson decided he was done with it and joined the football team.

Jackson's sister, Molly, is a sculptor just like their grandmother. Jackson and Molly were always very close since they both dabbled with archery as well as dagger-fighting (they used sticks, no worries). But being the sculptor she is and loving her brother and sister both so much, she made three identical necklaces. Jackson's hemp necklace has a wooden token of a dragon. The eye of the dragon is a rather cheap red rock she found on the beach (or at least they thought it was cheap since it was such a tiny piece). Molly's was a monkey, and Shelly's was a dog, both having the same red eye.

When the lady appeared at his door, the first thing he said was, "Sorry, I ate the rest of the Halloween candy." They told him to pack 'cause he was leaving. His next statement: "As long as I'm back Saturday. I've got a game." Pretty easy-going but mentally alert for the more important things in life.

Other:
Skipper!


What They Packed: (in their bags) His first aid kit (his father made each of them form their own kit while in their first few days of training), a few balls, a disk/frisbee, dagger (since he really doesn't know this person anyway), and a few snacks. And Skipper.

Name: Gemma

Age: 17 when she first arrived, she would be 20 now.

Gender: Female

Appearance/Picture: What she looked like at 17:

What she looks like now but with a scar on her left cheek:

Skills: Gemma came to the island with alot of domestic knowledge, like how to mend clothing, how to cook, how to keep house, and basic first aid. Over time the island has only improved those skills, she now is not only able to mend clothing but make it, she has learned how do make meals out of minimal ingredients, she has learned how to make anywhere feel homey, and she has also learned extensive medical care. Gemma is also great at making people smile when they are about to cry. She does this because not only does she not like to cry she doesn't like to see other people cry.

Weaknesses: Gemma has a temper to be reckoned with, do not get in her way! She may be able to show her anger easily but she still has trouble showing her sadness or unhappiness, no matter how bad it gets, she still believes she must not let people see her cry. There is another new addition in a physical way, Gemma is now slightly imobilized. The beast attack that ended her and Ryder's "leave of absence" has left her left shoulder permenantly damaged, not allowing her to have full range of motion without pain. She was also left with three claw mark scars from the bottom of her left cheekbone to the base of her jawbone and more scarring on her neck.

Likes: Gemma loves nature and anything to do with it, especially swimming in natural places such as lakes or streams, hiking and rain. She has a special place in her heart for her family and friends and holds them very dear. She used to find pleasure in writing but has drifted away from it in the past 3 years. maybe she will return, maybe not.

Dislikes: Just as there is a special place of love in her heart for her friends and family, there is a special place of hate for Sam and the other supervisors. Gemma dislikes being around animal carcasses but during her time on the island she has become accustomed to it and is able to tolerate it. She may be good at it at times but Gemma hates math.

Personality: Gemma has quite a brisk personality. Even when she feels like breaking down she can usually maintain a smile. She hates to cry, she says it makes her feel inferior. She is normally pretty outgoing but no where near obnoxious.

History: Gemma lived just outside the village with her father and two older brothers, Stephen and Duncan. Her mother and younger sister, Camille, died of Malaria 8 (Now 11) years ago. She is fairly comfortable talking about it.
Before the island, Gemma had never had a boyfriend, partly because of disinterest with the local boys and partly because of the previously mentioned father and two older brothers. Around 5 months after they arrived on the island there was a new arrival, his name was Ryder, he was Tarrion's brother. In no time a connection was established between Gemma and Ryder, a strong one. However strong, it was slightly jolted by another new arrival, this time it was Gemma's older brother, Duncan. The comprimising situation that Duncan found Gemma and Ryder in helped him form a bad first impression. For months after Duncan's arrival Gemma did nothing but fight and argue with him, he did not approve of Ryder. Gemma convinced Ryder that they needed to leave, that they needed to get away for a while, just the two of them. Afterall she had done it once already when things got a little crazy around camp, before Ry or Duncan had arrived, it really wasn't that hard. They were gone for approximately 8 months and returned only because of tradgedy. Gemma had been attacked by some type of new beast, more than likey unleashed by Samantha. The left side of her neck and shoulder we badly injured and she was bleeding heavily, Ryder used his basic medical knowlege and fixed her up enough to take her back to main camp.
Upon returning to camp Gemma was given immediate medical care. As soon as she was stable she was greeted by a heatly Nasira and she was told of Domi's pregnancy and abduction. Only a few days later Domi returned, fully intact and carrying a baby in her arms.
The family realized the serious danger they were in with their camp out in the open so with a little help from Gemma and Duncan, Ryder established a safer and more organized camp with strong walls.
Things have been going relatively smooth for the past two years, but it is the day of Sophie's 2nd birthday. Who knows what could happen.

Other: With each passing month, Gemma is slowly realizing how many opportunities this island has given her but also how much she is missing out on. She misses her father and her other brother, she has thought up many scenarios on how their life could be going. once in a while she even finds herself wondering what her life would be like had she not come to the island. She would not have met Ryder and that is a big disadvantage, but maybe she would have found love in another place, or at least happiness in something. She also would have been able to witness her brothers living, getting married, and having children. She is content being "Auntie Gemma" to Sophie but she knows that deep down it isn't true and it saddens her.

Up for love: Naw, she has found her one.

Since I was sick when I wrote this, now I think it's a bit short, I updated it...somehow. XD

Hi, Ish. I know this will disappoint you. But just to cheer you up, think about it, in the real SB, I'll get to post longer posts because you don't know much about my character. XD ... peace out. O_o PM me if you now hate me. LOL

Name: Sallie Vermont

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Appearance: Sallie has red hair which falls flat to her shoulders. Her eyes are of light green, and she has few freckles on her cheekbones and nose. She's cute, but not very attractive. In other words, she's pleasant to look at--very pleasant really, but not all hot and stuff that would make guys' head turn and stare. She's petite, only five feet tall, and kind of stick-boned. Well not really. She's got some curves... subtle.



Personality: I want people to know her through reading my posts. I hope I will be successful, because all I'm saying is she's most of the time loud and is usually looking for fun.

Strengths: She's usually optimistic so she usually finds herself looking at "the bright side". But that's only one of her moods. Her other mood is not so optimistic, but still a tad.

Weaknesses: Sometimes she pokes in fun at the wrong time, e.g. when something serious is being discussed. Plus behind her being optimistic most of the time, she's secretly scared--a coward. She can easily panic.

Up for love: Hopelessly romantic; yes.

History: She has lived with her widowed mother. She has no sibling, and, therefore, a bit of a spoiled brat, but not much really. More will be revealed later...

Other: She loves poetry, which she also writes. She dreams of getting her poems published even on the local magazines. She got rejected about seven times, but she "won't give up" she'll "get better" and "get published next time". She's also not just a poet, she's also a novelist, well, sort of.

She also has a passion for music; her voice's very fine for singing...but it's a secret.

What she packed: A lot of shirts, including her favorite one, which was pink and has a red heart on it. She's also managed to grab a thick notebook and a pen, which she'll use to write the happenings in her life in poetry form, of course! XD

No, you don't have to, it's only in case you get confused by what's already happened... and you better not ruin the flow of my precious DT D8

Sorry, I'll post Damond's here in a minute. I wont be posting very often and please, please don't ask me to post because I wont. Isha and I made a deal. I post when I can, you don't bother me(:

Name:Annie May

Age: 17 and probably the youngest of the original few

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Personality: She might act happy, but inside, she is filled with sorrow. She wishes she could have said goodbye to her parents. She's very depressing now that she's lost everything. She has her new family, but she still hopes she'll be able to go home soon...or die. She's been through a lot and she just needs a little love to soften her up a bit.

Strengths: She can think when she's not around people. She doesn't bother to fake a smile anymore.

Weaknesses: She's not good at hiding emotions, so sometimes she effects others with that.

Up For Love: She's been through a lot and she's damaged goods, but you can try if you'd like. She swears she doesn't need anybody and she's scared that history will repeat itself and she'll lose everything. Will you help her?

History: her mother was killed, her father disappeared, her sister and she has had so many let downs, she's not sure what to feel. Since she got here it's been hell. She's lost everything and everyone she loves. She's saved her family more than once, including when dje first got there, but she doesn't like to talk about it. She comes and goes from camp as she pleases, ignoring people. Sometimes she'll be gone for weeks at a time with no trail that she left.

She fell in love once with Kyle, the guy who once tried to kill her, but died saving her. She blames herself because if she wasn't walking, the beast wouldn't have attacked and he would't have been killed. It pained her most of all to see that everyone in camp was happy to see him gone. she doesn't like to talk about him, though she tries to convince herself that he deserved it for hurting her family and her--he broke her ribs and leg.

She has a scar on her left side from when she saved Tar from one of the supervisors--she killed them and got stabbed before it was over.

Other: She knows Damon from her childhood, but she doesn't know that he killed her parents.

What They Packed: She packed lots of clothes, a silver diamond necklace/locket with a picture of her parents inside, her art sipplies--though she doesn't use them anymore--and her assortment of pictures and jewelery from her mom.

Just one thing... she'll be around 17-18 now Sakin.
