Premise
It's 1985, and all over the world, there is hype about a raffle. A worldwide raffle that seems to good to be true, it's prize being a three-month, summer getaway at an old, but remodeled and reequipped English castle. it is a raffle that only ten people in the whole world will win.
When the men and women are chosen, they meet each other on their private, luxury plane. Everything seems to perfect, like living a dream. Until things start to get suspicious.
As the 10 learn a slow and disturbing truth that involves their lives, they must escape - it's too late.

OOH! Sounds interesting! I claim a spot!

Name: Eva Hawkins

Age: Twenty

Date of Birth: May 7, 1965

Country: Italy

Appearance: Fly-away brown hair, pretty much average proportions. She has hazel eyes. Pretty unremarkable.

Picture (Optional): http://zindy.deviantart.com/art/The-girl-with-the-rose-86811719

Personality: She tends to get stressed easily, but she's overall happy. Her past haunts her a lot, and she will often go off alone. She's the kind of person who would meet someone friendly to her, and then stick only to that person's side. She is quiet.

Background: Eva grew up in a small Italian town. She really doesn't talk about much, but the little that her family had burned in a fire. Eva lost her mother, her dog, and all of her childhood mementos. Eva was left on the streets. She enrolled in the raffle as a last-ditch attempt to get shelter and straighten out her affairs. She desperately wants to see the world, but that never has been a possibility for her.

Name: Desmond Miles

Age: Nineteen

Date of Birth: March 23, 1965

Country: England

Appearance: Some consider him attractive, but he is normally not very talkative, and most never get the chance to know him. He is about average hight, and almost pure muscle. He has pale skin and dark brown hair that has grown so that it just covers his eyes.

Picture (Optional): Ill look for one


Personality: Doesn't normally talk to many people but those he does talk to he will protect with his life (although he would protect anyone who needed it). He is very moral and kind hearted, though most people wouldn't guess it. He doesn't like to not be in control of his emotions, especially anger and jealousy, so to most people he will seem cold, but to those who know him he just has other ways of showing what he's feeling.

Background: Doesn't want to talk about it. Lives alone in a small apartment working as a mechanic and boxing for a living. Bought a ticket because he lost a bet with a bartender.

Save me a space? This is my first try with storybooks, I'll have a character posted before the end of the day!

Name: Lorelei Noel Brennan

Age: Eightteen

Birthday: October 15, 1966

Country: Ireland

Appearance: Lorelei Noel has long, curly, auburn shaded hair. She has blue eyes, but not sky blue, more of an ocean blue that usually has a sparkle in them. She has a slightly pale color tone, but the light freckles that sprinkle under her eyes and on her nose make up for it.

Picture: The picture is fairly accurate with who I want my chararcter to look like. But only looking a little older, eighteen, not fourteen or thirteen looking. Oh and it is a prom picture, so ignore the dressy-ness if you will.

Personality: Very social, but slightly quiet. She has tons of friends, some of which she can't really trust. She has a temper also, but the kindness in her heart makes up for it. She has a habit, she's shops a little too much. And she always wants the best for her education.

Background: Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland Lorelia has the fab life. She can hang out with her friends, do what she loves most, and love life there. She wouldn't change it for the world, but one day she goes on a dare. And that dare states she has to buy a raffle, little does she know, she wins.

Name: Kazuo Hayashi

Age: twenty five

Date of Birth: November 13, 1960

Country: Japan

Appearance: Dark almond-shaped eyes, dark hair, pleasant smile. Stands at 5'10", wiry build, glasses.

Personality: An insatiably curious person. Usually easy-going and difficult to upset, but he can become passionate if provoked. A little socially awkward at times.

Background: Kazuo had a fairly average childhood growing up in Japan with his mother, his younger brother, and his cat. He's a computer repairman and fairly content with his life. The only reason he bought a raffle ticket was because his brother bugged him about it, telling him that he needed to go out and do something interesting with his life.

Name: Katya Gorbachova

Age: Eighteen

Date of Birth: November 22, 1966

Country: Russia

Appearance: Katya is slim, yet has obvious muscle. It's only natural for a female member of the Gorbachova family to be masculine. Her family liked to believe the descended straight from the Vikings. Katya is about five foot eight, and weight maybe one hundred and twenty-eight pounds.

Picture: http://pirate-queen.deviantart.com/art/ ... I-97037037

Personality: Katya had a very fiery spirit. She loves to prove that she's right, and will go to extremities to do so. She's loyal to everyone she trusts and anyone she sees fit to be a leader. Her Russian accent isn't very thick considering the fact she's been learning English from her uncle the passed ten years.

Background: When Katya was seven, her mother died in labor with her never-born brother, who of course, died as well. Since she didn't have any brothers her father worked her to death. She was always tending to the farm and doing work a man might do. Now, that she's eighteen, she's entered the raffle to get away from her over-working father.
