intro >>> Kaoru Lin
And here is a Kaoru! He is similar to someone who looks like him but not quite.
Kaoru is a Berkeley college student in the Integrated Biology program, with a focus on plant ecology. He was on his way to a two-week field school in Australia in order to get hands-on research for his senior thesis, and is split between bemoaning his luck on being stuck on an island and going well this will make for an awesome start to a thesis once we get the hell off.
He has a lot of theoretical knowledge, but very little practical experience. Even his camping, which he has done a bit of, has been camping with the ability to check his email on his phone whenever he felt like it. So he'll know the theory on how to use tarps to get drinking water out of ocean water thanks to Voyage of the Mimi, which he saw when he was seven or something, but absolutely no idea how it actually works in practice and will spend many, many hours trying to figure it out (and potentially failing horribly).
Kaoru also likes to poke at people to see reactions, although he'll do his best to keep that down while survival is at stake, and is at his best playing the role of the peanut gallery. If he has to take charge to some degree, he will, but he will be just as/far more happy following someone who knows wtf they're doing.
This has also been the worst week for him, because he's had to deal with scheduling drama and loan drama for the field school, was dumped by his girlfriend, nearly missed his flight to Australia because he was hungover and only managed to make it because his twin called him, and is now stuck on an island wearing his Oscar the Grouch pajamas pants.
