Here is the profile format. Once you've posted your character's profile here and I give you the go signal, you may start posting on the main thread located here. Oh, and please your character's skills to their personal history (we can't have just any ten-year-old girl knowing how to use a gun without explaining why).

Spoiler: Profile Sheet
Name:
Age:
Occupation:
Appearance:
History:
Skills:
Other:

Spoiler: Sample Profile
Name: Cassandra Mueller
Age: 23
Occupation: Librarian
Appearance: Rather short, standing at 5’2”. She has long, pale brown hair kept in a ponytail and a light complexion. She wears glasses, a light blue tank top, a brown cotton jacket, tan cargo pants and leather sandals.
History: Cassandra Mueller is a half-German, half-American librarian with an obsession for books and history. She planned on being a writer, but so far her writing career hasn’t kicked off, so she spends her time working at a nearby library, though she may often be caught reading the books customers return instead of shelving them. She decided to take a break from city life and bought a ticket for a Pacific cruise liner.
Skills: Cassandra has the barest of survival skills, knowing how to use a knife, shinny up a tree, and swim for her life, but she can also be useful on an island by identifying certain wildlife, with the knowledge obtained by her reading passion.
Other: Cassandra is deathly afraid of heights, and took a cruise ship instead of an airplane because of this.

Name: Jeanette Jundin
Age: 18
Occupation: Waitress
Appearance: Long straight brown hair. Light blue jeans. Purple T-Shirt.
History: Jeanette Jundin was always the smartest kid in her class. The only reason she's a waitress is because her parents wanted her to work at the family diner. When she was little she always climbed trees and things, she got really good at climbing. When Jeanette was a child she went to the zoo a lot. At the zoo they had an area where you build little animal houses out of sticks leaves etc., she really loved to build things out of leaves and twigs so she kept practicing making things with them.
Skills: Making things out of leaves sticks etc., climbing, fighting.
Other: Jeanette is always kind. She always wanted to live on an island. Sometimes she's serious other times she's childish.

Good to see some interest in this RP! Um, I'd have to request that you relate your skills with your history though. Did she learn how to make things out of leaves and sticks from working at a diner? Did she climb trees in her childhood? You know, stuff like that. Look at the first post if you need more details.

Yes, those skills would have to be skills that could be useful while on the island, but you'll also have to explain why your character has those skills. Not just anyone knows how to light a fire with rocks, or make houses from sticks, or fish with a spear. I do hope you get my point though. Your profile right now looks like everything's in order, so you're free to start posting!

Name: George Haufmann
Age: 25
Occupation: Security guard, war veteran.
Appearance: He has deep, brown eyes and a hat that always covers his hair. All of his features seem hardened, from his square jaw and shallow cheeks to his narrow eyes. He's skinny, but muscular, and has dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep.
History: As soon as he turned 18, George joined the army and soon found himself in the front lines during a war. As such, he knows how to use a gun, use a knife, and be stealthy, along with knowing basic survival skills. He also has a general knowledge of which are poisonous and which aren't, although that's more for the terrain he was in during the war. He came back from it a year ago, and became a security guard, but he still has nightmares...
Skills: Use of a knife, firearms, general knowledge of plants, stealth, and basic survival skills.
Other: He tends to be really tense all the time, so if someone surprises him, he or she might find him attacking him or her, rather than whatever actions he or she was expecting.

Everyone starts when they somehow manage to get on the island. Your choice whether you drown, swim, or end up floating on a piece of driftwood, but everyone ends up on the island because of the storm, as it says in the first post of the main thread.

Yeah! Time to play my half missionary, half cowboy, 100% all american BA since my CoC game fell through! It's a good start to being back on CR.

Name: Kendal Dekker

Age:26

Occupation: Missionary

Appearance: Kendal has black hair down to his shoulders, and a black mustache and goatee. 5'10", 170lbs. He wears a red button up shirt and kahki work pants. He has a brown duster coat and a cowboy hat.

History: Kendal was born and raised in Boston, the child of two missionaries. When they were out on the job, he would go out west and live with some of his family out in Arizona. There he learned the lost art of the cowboy, but eventually he followed his parents into the missionary trade. He moved to Italy, where he got a degree in theology from the University of Milan. Now he wanders the world and is awesome and stuff.

Skills: From his time in the field Kendal has learned BASIC wilderness survival, natural history and all that. He is also quite good at first aid and basic medicine. Other than that, he can hold his own in a fight (trained in clubs as missionary training, and learned how to shoot as a cowboy, not to mention basic bullwhip operation). He can ride a horse as often as he can't, and can fluently speak Italian. He also has basic occult knowledge though I doubt that will be useful. Yes, I know he sounds overpowered, but trust me, he's got so much JUST BASIC knowledge that it's not funny. Trust me, I rolled out his stats and everything.

Other: Kendal has a bad habit of wanting to take charge when going out into the island. On the shore he's quiet and contemplative, but out in the wild he's party leader.

LIDA! *Glomps* Please, call me Elias, after my old (and more common on other sites) screen name.

Yeah, it's great to be back. And it's great to play this character for once.

Oh, by the way, what did you think of my intro post? Not too long, I hope? Or poorly worded?

It was good, but I will say that the first sentence was awkardly phrased. I got what you were saying though.

@Toon: Accepted, you can start any time. :keiko:

@Elias: Good to have you back! Typical of you to roll out all your stats, but I suppose a basic knowledge of just about everything is better than being an expert at all of them. And the occult knowledge might actually help in one or two of the plot twists. Of course, accepted, and you can post anytime as well.

@Lida: The first post was fine by me, though I agree that the first sentence's wording could've been better.

Well, it's more like I made him for a game that I ended up quitting because one of the players didn't learn his lesson from last time (story for later) and I just re-found his sheet, so I'm using him...

I have a sanity of 85. Human average is 50. Human max is 90. I rock...

And I only have a 25% in occult... Dang... And an appearance of 12 out of 18... Dang...

I'll be sure to ask about that story sooner or later. And what else can you expect from a missionary? XD

Name: Chris "Somari" Player

Age: 13

Occupation: None

Appearance: Tall and thin, despite his laziness. Wears a pair of near-sighted glasses even though he doesn't need them. Nearly all of his clothing has Sonic/Mario/Ace Attorney/Ghost Trick on it. Wears a Magatama necklace that looks exactly like the Magatama Maya Fey from Ace Attorney has.

History: Somari has always been a freak compared to other kids his age. For so long, in fact, that he's started taking many insults as compliments. He's very smart, but few like him because of how weird he is, not to mention the personality traits he doesn't have that teenagers almost always have. He's a pacifist, even though he's been beaten up for a long time, and would NEVER fight under any circumstances. He's good-natured, and cares a lot about the welfare of others before himself. He's nerdy, and geeky, and proud of it, despite the many beatings he's gotten from it. He's very smart, and has never gotten anything lower than a C on a Report Card in his life.

Skills: Can play video games better than most, and can use Logic in a way similar to Edgeworth, but not much else.

Other: Is extremely lazy; you'd have to give him one heck of a serious reason to help do some physical labor; even on the island, always has a DS on him.

If I might quote RJ from Role Playing Public Radio, "Don't you know, if you want to be a priest, you have to read the Necronomicon as part of seminary." And thus he has the highest possible score in occult, at least in a different game.

So, story time. So I had this player in my D&D game who decided to take everything and make it dirty. For example intimidating a group by ripping his clothes off, pointing somewhere, and yelling, "You want some of this!" Or the time when I had a Hunger Games inspired subplot and he decided to offer one of the chosen warriors, a (relatively) 12 year old, sickly, half elf girl, the night of her life before the battle. Even when I tried to teach him a lesson by, when he purposefully ignored the plot and I asked him to go to the other side of the table and ignore what's going on, he ended up nearly injuring another PLAYER, not character.

So when that game was over and I got the chance to play in a Call of Cthulhu game. CoC, of course being the game where you are average people who face down supernatural horrors. You still have to deal with the law and the fact that violence isn't the answer. He, of course, makes a sociopath who, second session, kills five people in a bar brawl. So I quit because I can't deal with that.

Sorry to double post, but a question for Lida. What kind of knife does George have? Because in my head I'm picturing him busting out a combat knife.

Lol, George would, too. It's probably an army combat knife. Looks a little somethin' like this. He also probably has a handgun on him.

@Somari: Accepted, you can post any time, though I can't quite get how a DS can survive being thrown overboard without short-circuiting. You'll have to find some way of putting that into your intro or else the DS idea will have to be abandoned.

@Elias: This is what makes you the nerdiest roleplayer in the whole forum. XD And how exactly do you use a knife to take out splinters? I know Swiss army knives have little tweezers built into them, but you were talking about the knife being smaller, so....

Nerdiest? Or awesomest? *Puts on shades* YEAAAAH! But yeah, it's great being a nerd. Until you reach that stage where you're nerdier than everyone else around you, then you just feel sad. You see, I walk that line between, "I'm super serious about nerd stuff" nerd and the "I make references to things that only I would know as a nerd (IE what happened in my D&D game last night)" nerd.

...Depends on how big the splinter is. It's the same logic and getting a bullet out. You either pop the bullet out with the blade or make the wound wider to help get it out.
