Name: Morgan Glenwood

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Personality: Morgan is an in control, calm sort of person. She loves socializing with people, but is just as happy sitting in a quiet corner by herself. Is friendly but usually quiet because of the severe strain she's been under for the last few months (learn more in other)

Appearance: Tall, 5'6" with long chocolate brown hair and slanted gray eyes. Likes wearing turtleneck sweaters under a vest, and jeans. Always wears a silver necklace her late boyfriend gave her.

Worst Fear: Being trapped, unable to go anywhere or do anything (claustrophobia)

Other: Morgan was pestered to go to this ski resort by her family in hopes that she would forget the death of her boyfriend/fiance, Andy. Morgan knows what they're doing and it only makes her remember it all the more. Is drained and tired, and though she didn't want to go to the resort, now that she's there she's glad she went- that is, until the storm hits.

This sounds like it'll be a great one- I already know half of all I'm going to post!

Hello!

Despite the plot being short I really liked the sense of urgency it evoked. I've had some experience character building before so I hope this helps as a potential future character in your story:

Name: Jack McCarthy

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Personality: Bold and Daring, Likes To Take Risks

Appearance: Short Black Hair pointed forward. No glasses. Tall Build, around 6 foot in height, European ancestry. Australian Accent.

Worst fear: Losing those close to him. (Would be a great idea to have him make a friend or too and then have him compete to protect their safety)

Other: Allergic to very strong perfumes.

I shall join.
Name: Samuel (Sam) Alfred

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Personality: Laid back and casual, Samuel greets the future with a cocky grin. He's optimistic, witty, and ready for action. Samuel is studying for a degree in psychology, so he loves watching people. His studies have affected him as a person, and have made him less of a control freak than he was as a child. He applies his studies to himself, and often makes himself a test patient. Beneath his casual demeanor, Sam has a lot of doubt about his successfulness. He finds himself becoming increasingly paranoid about his future.

Appearance: Sandy brown hair, and high cheekbones. Sam is average height and weight. He has hazel eyes, and a splash of freckles.

Worst fear: Finding out that he has completely messed up his life.

Other: Up for love.

Name: Desmond Miles

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Personality: He is a calm, no nonsense kind of person, but that comes with being part of the British SAS. He is one of a long line in a military family from England, so like his father he enlisted. He proved to be very good at his job. In combat (or stressful situations) he stays calm, does everything he can to help everyone, no matter what it is. Outside, he is a very nice guy who is fairly easy to talk to and spends most of his time cracking jokes. The things he does in combat he doesn't want to affect his other life, so he wears a skull patterned balaclava to separate both sections of his life.

Appearance: Average height but build solidly. He has ruddy brown hair and light blue eyes.

Worst fear: Not being able to help, and death in itself (see other)

Other: Tends to wear loose clothing that allows him to move. Has a skull balaclava (ski mask thing) that he always has with him, but will rarely wear.

Name: Katerina "Nina" Dharma-Smith

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Appearance: Small and slight (but still curvy), dark skin, black eyes, horribly curly black hair, and a radiant smile.

Personality: Quiet and shy, Nina doesn't make much of an impression at first, but the more you get to know her, the louder she is. She is nice and polite, but when upset has a sharp tongue.

Worst fear: Being buried alive in sand, or drowning. Basically, anything where she can't see/breathe.

Other: Up for love? Also, she was here with her "go with the flow" aunt and her conservative father. She hasn't seen either since the storm hit, and in the night she thinks she hears screaming. She's convinced herself she's just having nightmares.

Desmond~~

I forced the door to my small apartment open and stepped out into the hallway. It was dark for the most part since the storm had caused the generators to break (Is this right?), so there were only some lights running on back up power.

I walked down the hallway towards the main lobby where I heard voices. The babble was getting louder by the moment, some saying that the storm was letting up, and others saying that they were stupid, it wasn't letting up, and so on. But there was hope. I found a group who generally agreed that the storm was lessening, and poked myself into the conversation.

"If the storm's ending, shouldn't we go look at the rest of the compound, see if there are people in any of the other sections? I know we're isolated but, we could go above now, and it might be worth trying to see if there is power elsewhere as well."

*anyone can come in*

*Abby*

I peeked out of my room to see the Desmond guy go down the hall towards the noise in the lobby. I watched him for a couple of seconds and then retreated into my room once again.

I had lit a couple of candles that I brought with me. The room smelled like vanilla, and it was calming to my nerves. I hated how I was paranoid all the time now thanks to him. It was days like these where I felt like I would never be in this mess if I had never gone to that party. I know that I can't change the past, but it isn't easy to live with.

I sat down at the little table that had a single candle and my paints on it. I sat down and started to paint, just abstract things with no real meaning to anyone but me. It was a dark mixture of red, black, and purple, all the colors that I saw the night that I was raped.

I was so wrapped up on it that I didn't hear the knock at the door until they banged on it. "Is anyone in there?"
