intro >> deirdre namara

[afterglowing]

This is Deirdre. She's a bit hard to stomach at first, but once you get used to her particular brand of cattiness, she's actually very easy going. She takes nothing seriously unless it's obvious that it HAS to be taken seriously, then she becomes the biggest hardass on the planet. If people start crying or feeling sorry for themselves when they could be of use to the group, Deirdre will shout them up and down. It's surprising, coming from someone so small and feminine, but make a comment about it and she'll only get louder and crueler.

Casually, and under better circumstances, Deirdre is fun-loving, playful (though a bit mean) and flirtatious. That side will come out in bursts on the island, but, as she's good as dead and going through a hell of a nicotine withdrawal, she'll be doing her best to avoid anything with a pulse she might be tempted to stop.

Before the flight, you might have seen her at one airport bar or another, pounding bloody marys. She was notably agitated as she texted and at one point had to stop herself from throwing her phone. Impatient and disagreeable while boarding, she calmed down once the plane took off. Then came more vodka and tomato juice.

PS: Drake, she heard what you and your fuckhead friends said about her clothes and she wants you to know that once they find the volcano, you are the first sacrifice.

Character Intro: Tig

[agirlandhergun]

This is Tegan Jones, more commonly known as Tig.

Her bearing is obviously military, and she comes with a variety of useful skills and implements that suggest the same. She hails from Essex in England, and although she can tone down and fake accents at will, she still speaks... well, like an Essex girl. Despite the military shiz, she's relatively easy to get along with so long as you're willing to pull your weight - but she doesn't suffer fools gladly. Plus, if you decide you really hate someone on the island, she could help you out there, too.

She was on the plane disguised as an air hostess in Economy, but as soon as the final alarms went off, customer service (and anyone in her way) was tossed aside in favour of digging out a myriad of bits and pieces she had stowed away in the cabin. If she got you with a fist or elbow, she'll apologise.

A few notes!

[failure]

1. I figure game start will be about 11pm GMT tomorrow night? I might not be around until later, but I don't think that'll be a problem.

2. About app rounds: My basic idea for the game was that the only people to be on the island would be the people app'd, just to make it harder for the characters - they quite literally only have themselves to rely on.

But! Not everyone will be coming in from the aeroplane crash! In subsequent app rounds I'll be opening it up to other people, brought to the island for different reasons.

So, this app round (...most of February) only people from the crash are accepted.

In the next app round (March 20-27) the app round will be open to people from the crash who ended up on the different part of the island (homg this is turning into Lost) and would-be rescuers. The app will be modified slightly when that happens.

The current app round is closing on the 27th, so if you want to play but can't think of a reason for them to be on the plane - idk, maybe think about having them be a rescuer?

3. If you want to suggest more things to wash up (something dear to your character or something useful for example) there's a post for that.

I think that's it.
