Hi all! I've got several (okay, 4, I've got 4) characters in the works. (Started off with two and now we here...) I know we'll have the wanteds eventually, but if anyone wants to start brainstorming connections and plot already, I figured I'd drop this info here for now!
Leilani _______: (PB: Lana Condor) This girl lost her bff brother and her boyfriend, both of whom were both members of the Frat group in the Blackwood Thirty. She was supposed to go on the trip with them, but her parents nixed the idea at the last minute. She's not happy about going to the island now, but she's there. Looking for her brother (either he or she is adopted, willing to discuss which would work better) and any other possible connections. Parents. Other survivors she might know, either through support groups or because they were also friends with her brother and boyfriend. Even friends she's made in the three years since who'd want to go with her to the island for support. Open to other ideas!
Unnamed Ghost Girl: (PB: Ginny Gardner) This girl was in the Academic group. I'm still brainstorming her details, but she was a "good girl" type - rule follower, top of her class, focused on her studies - but maybe something (or someone) on the island changed that at some point before her death. Everyone needs to rebel eventually, right? She'll need family members she left behind, friends who could have mourned her, and ghostly pals (or frenemies?) she may have made some history with before they died.
Unnamed Male #1: (PB: Brenton Thwaites, maybe) He lost his ex-girlfriend and baby mama in the Blackwood Thirty. Now he's a single parent to a 3 year old. He's a little rough around the edges, but that's mellowed a lot since he took on the responsibility of being a dad. He doesn't have any other family, but I'd be interested in finding some friends, people from the support group he might have been in contact with at some time. Does he have a new girlfriend? I'm not sure about that, but he might have a girl who's a friend and they haven't crossed that line (yet...?). Also his ex's parents would probably still be a big influence in his life, whether they've come around to tolerating him as the father of their grandchild...or not.
Unnamed Male #2: (PB: none yet) He's a father who lost 2 children in the Blackwood Thirty. After the tragedy, he and his then wife ultimately divorced, but he later remarried the mother of another victim to the tragedy. He has 2 remaining children living. Would love to find someone to pick them up, his ex-wife, other parents he'd know, and his ghostly bbs. Before the death of his kids, he was a workaholic who focused on money and giving money and gifts instead of time and attention. Since then, he's turned over a new leaf. He might be the father of the birthday twin, working on seeing if that'll fit right now, but regardless, would love all the connections for him!
Super excited about the game and would love to just chat or come up with all sorts of ideas, so hit me up if you're interested! :D
