I'll make another profile, male. We need more of them (:

Name (nicknames go here, too): Shane Delowski
Age (minimum of 16, please): 20
Gender: Male

Appearance (definitely a description, picture is optional): Shane is 6'0", tall and built. He has dirty blonde hair, short and styled. He has a soft face, pronounced nose and a scar on his chin. He wears dark washed jeans, button-up shirts and high-tops. He is built, works out once a day.

Personality: When it comes to Shane, you can differ him from the rest of the crowd. He loves to laugh, can crack a joke at any time. Very intelligent, he knows everything from Pyramids to Plates. He is a little flexible, able to change his personality at crucial moments... like when he's in love. He gets so caught-up in the girl that that's all her thinks about.

History (brief): He's a famous singer, gets paparazzi hanging over him 24/7. He's in a band called, Hung Up. Once Shane started singing in the sixth grade, many people discovered him. They tried to get him record deals but he would always disagree. He wanted to get to the top on his own. And he did. His family is always supporting him no matter what. But Shane has a bad history with his own brother. His brother, Mike, stole his girlfriend. That's when everything went downhill. The brothers don't even talk to each other anymore.

Reason for coming to the hotel (this can be pretty much anything): To get some privacy!

Room number (pick whichever one you want): 378
Love? (yes or no): Sure
Other (anything I forgot?): He's usually in his own world, lost in his thoughts. Tends to sing randomly.

Name (nicknames go here, too): Nora Sato

Age (minimum of 16, please): 27

Gender: Female

Appearance (definitely a description, picture is optional): She has black hair and black eyes. She could be pretty, but she doesn't have a very open attitude. She has a bit of a simple punk look, with a lot of black and white. She looks a bit like Megan Fox, but she's built a little thinner

Personality: Nora is very crude and very blunt. She is always straightforward and honest and isn't a fan of mind games. She is a good and loyal friend. She isn't very kind, but she will never let you down. She has quite a fiery personality though, and is very fun to be around.

History (brief): Her family was average, and she grew up in New York City. She was scouted by a modeling agent when she was seventeen. When she was twenty two the owner of the agency gave the business to her and Nora successfully brought the agency to Europe and Asia, making her a multi billionaire.

Reason for coming to the hotel (this can be pretty much anything): She owns a very successful modeling contract and she is just taking a break from it for a while.

Room number (pick whichever one you want): 301

Love? (yes or no): yes

Other (anything I forgot?): She has a pet canary that is always perched on her shoulder or flying around somewhere near her. The bird's name is Cairo.

OK, I'm going to set a starting date, just to keep this on people's radar. Unofficial start date is September 1, but I'll move it up if profiles come in sooner.

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.

I'll take the last male spot, if that's okay. If not, PM and I'll take the profile down.


Name (nicknames go here, too): Alexzandir Foster "Zander"

Age (minimum of 16, please): 19

Gender: Male

Appearance (definitely a description, picture is optional): Zander is 6'3" tall, has brown hair, brown eyes, and tanned skin. He typically wears a white wife beater under button up shirts (though sometimes he forgoes the button up shirt), faded Wrangler jeans, and old Redwing boots.

Personality: Zander is usually quite reserved-usually only speaking when he has something witty to say- merely observing what happens around him, and learning from other people's mistakes. He often has his 'nose buried' in a book, and, when he does speak (and isn't making fun of somebody) he tends to quote the words of other people.

Zander is usually quite content to be by himself, partly because he can easily occupy himself, partly because he dislikes people. Zander was often mocked when he was a child, which trained him to only speak when he had something derogatory to say to somebody- he's quite talented in the mocking/sarcasm department, and is capable of making the toughest of people self conscious.

He's not usually looking for a fight (though he does when he gets angry), though he doesn't try to avoid them either. He makes many enemies, everywhere he goes, though the majority of the fights he is in are results of somebody else being hurt- especially if those people are children, his friends, or the elderly.

People always have a very definite opinion of him, shortly after they meet-either they love him or hate him, there's no in between. Women tend not to like him, as he's saving himself for serious relationship, and won't stare at them; like they seem to want.

History (brief): Zander is the son of an extremely successful farmer. He's grown up working on his father's farm, and has always been fine with simple clothing and the like (even though his Dad's loaded)- but he's got a nemesis, Nevil, who is constantly tormenting him. Zander has beat Nevil to a pulp, many times, but Nevil continues to spread rumors and laugh about him; the only thing that phases Nevil is that he hates that Zander's Dad has more money than his.

Reason for coming to the hotel (this can be pretty much anything): Zander's father was worried that his and Nevil's rivalry was getting too extreme, with fights every week and black mail arriving at and leaving thier house everyday- and so suggested Zander come to the hotel, to get away from it, and cool off a bit. Zander fought the idea--until he found out that it bother Nevil that he had the opportunity, so he decided to come.

Room number (pick whichever one you want): 42

Love? (yes or no): Sure- straight

Other (anything I forgot?): Zander always carries a pocket knife in his right pocket.

I'll make a few more spots, and move the start date to tomorrow. Still have some profiles missing, so hopefully they'll be in by then.

Alright, here we go! Guineapiggirl and anyone else who hasn't finished a profile, just get them in when you can. No rush.


Ferdinand Arias

The little six-seater Beechcraft landed lightly on the runway, the thump barely audible. As the plane rolled to a stop, I got out of my seat, slung my backpack over my shoulder, and followed the pilot out onto the tarmac. There it was--the Hotel Umbra. It was a massive resort, built right into the face of the seaside cliffs. The pilot set my suitcase on the ground next to me, but I didn't notice--I was too busy surveying the landscape. There was the spa area, and the beach, and at the top of a cliff, I could see the first tee box of a golf course--

"Welcome to the Hotel Umbra, sir." An employee had appeared on the tarmac, with a golf cart. "I'm sorry there isn't a car here; we didn't expect you to arrive this early. I can call for one, if you'd like."

"No, this is fine," I replied, pulling my suitcase toward the golf cart. The employee took it from me, tossed it in the back, and then drove me up the winding road toward the hotel.

At the front entrance, I hopped out of the golf cart, tipped the employee, and gave my suitcase to a bellhop. As I walked into the lobby, I was hit by the scent of vanilla. The lobby was massive--the walls rose five stories up, supported by decorative pillars, and a giant crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling.

A short woman walked out from behind the concierge desk and shook my hand. "Welcome, sir," she said. "I'm Annie Marino, the hotel manager. If you need anything my employees can't provide, come talk to me." She turned to the front entrance, and raised a hand in greeting. "Welcome!" she called the newcomers.
