Wow, so you've been here as long as I was, yeah, it was really hard seeing the boards die down like that. They've had some waves of activity but it was never for long anymore. It's sad but real life I guess.
Guys I do really love how none of these characters so far give me a strong "oh that's just like [insert Survivor player here]". Maybe a bit more the type of character Survivor loves casting but none that seem like close copies. I like and keep this up guys.
A nice villain or two (m/f) would be great too, don't worry, just because they're the villain doesn't mean they can't win. It's also about how you play it. Survivor has had people who played hard and/or lied and manipulated a lot win because they were also charming or respected.
And with the few new characters I'm going to divide the first bunch. Get two bags, one with names and one with the tribe names and put them together. Stay tuned.
The first six characters will be put into their tribes!
First
Eric, you'll be in
Foa Foa
Second
Kenneth, you'll be on the
Galu tribe
Next up is
Cathy, your tribe will be
Galu as well
. Say hi to your new tribe mate.
Then we have
Gavin, you will be on the
Foa Foa
tribe with Eric.
Then we have
Tia, you are joining the
Galu
tribe with Kenneth and Cathy.
Which means that Andy, you are on the
Foa Foa
tribe with Kenneth and Gavin so far.
I'll divide the rest of them once I have the characters.

All right you guys!
For every player, please think of what you want your character/characters to do as they arrive on the island.
I'm going to work these into the first episode. After you've canoed towards the island and taken your spot at one of the mats (purple for Galu, yellow for Foa Foa), Jeff Probst, the host, will talk to you and end with some questions.
As usual, Survivor starts with gathering supplies. On the big boat behind you, about 100 metres from the shore, many piles of supplies are lying around on the boat. Two rafts with some oars are floating in front of the boat, one for each tribe, ready to be loaded with supplies.
http://www.gettyimages.com.au/detail/news-photo/jeff-probst-watches-the-two-tribes-gather-supplies-during-news-photo/490872962#jeff-probst-watches-the-two-tribes-gather-supplies-during-the-special-picture-id490872962
Once Probst gives you the sign, you will swim over towards the boat and then have 2 minutes to grab as many things as you can. All of these can be useful at camp. But which ones will you chose?
Remember that you don't have enough time to get everything. So what are you going to do?
Please give me 5 items that you will grab. You can then also add one more as an "in case everything else is already gone" thing. Also tell me which of these your character/characters would go for first. Which one is your top priority?
Don't worry, there are no wrong choices, but the things you take will affect the storyline. Some things can be more useful than others of course. You can take two of the same item should you want to.- 5 kilogram bag of rice (3 available)
- 5 kilogram bag of beans (3 available)
- machete
- knife
- cans and pots of canned vegetables or fruit (10 available)
- coconuts
- bunch of bananas (2)
- canteen filled with water (10)
- empty canteens (10)
- fire-making tools (flint, etc.)
- carpeting tools (hammer, nails, etc.)
- rope (2 available)
- fishing gear (1 set)
- chopped bamboo (as much as you want)
- chopped wood (as much as you want)
- a coop with 3 chickens
- a coop with 1 chicken
- comfort items set (2 pillows, a blanket and mat)
- pots and pans
- cooking utensils, knives, forks, spoons, plates and cups (just say how many you grab)
- tarp/sheet to lie under
Happy hunting

OMG! So excited
but do we tell you our choices here on the thread or PM them to you!?
Oh! And Cathy says hello to her fellow tribe-mates!
GO GALU
!
and Ri, I totally plan on writing a second character (over the weekend), if that's okay?

Elphie, sure, go ahead and make that next character. The sooner the cast is full, the sooner we can begin.
Once I have all the profiles, we can start voting for which member of Galu and Foa Foa will be the leader, and that person will get another choice before the first episode.
And you can post it here or in PM. On the boards is easier to keep track of, but PM will make it more spontaneous for the other players.
I am thinking of adding another female character in late 30's to add some variety to the age range. -

Name:
Catherine (Cathy) Carlisle.
Age:
30.
Gender:
Female.
Occupation:
Professional ballet dancer (corps de ballet).
Appearance:
http://www.imdb.com/board/21982510/mediaviewer/rm1042065152
Notes:
Cathy always has her hair within in a bun (an old habit as a ballet dancer). She is (obviously) very balletic and always has perfect posture (which she also expects from everyone else!). Cathy starts the experience with a white camisole-style vest (cotton), navy-blue tailored shorts (cotton) and an old pair of trainers (sneakers!) (no socks). She also has a black knitted wrap-cardigan for the nights and a purple and white one-piece swimsuit.
Personality:
Cathy has followed orders all of her life (from her family, as a dancer and especially with the corps de ballet) and is now ready (actually, determined) to demonstrate her leadership skills. She will definitely exert herself as a leader and will be reluctant to relinquish her leadership to anyone. This is not due to the fact that she is bossy, or controlling but more due to the fact that she has always had to follow someone elses instructions and demands. At thirty years old, Cathy is finally ready to be the one in charge! She wishes for her own independence and the chance to shine as an individual.
Cathy is very focused (very intent). Her focus is very intense (and can almost be considered scary). She will always be utterly dedicated / committed to the finished product / objective and will always see every venture through to the end (regardless of what may happen). She will never submit to anyone or quit and will never admit defeat. She is definitely a fighter to achieve and to succeed. She cannot be distracted and is not easily swayed. She knows her own mind and will not be influenced. It is almost impossible to change her mind. She is also a perfectionist and expects perfection from everyone else (no excuses!).
Cathy is very motherly (as a mother who expects her children to do exactly as mother says), and has a tendency to gravitate to (who she considers) the weaker characters (to mother them). She will naturally gravitate towards the weak and the wounded (emotionally and physically). She prefers to be needed rather than need. She prefers to do rather than have done for her. She prefers to be active and cannot sit still (she will often practice her ballet when there is nothing more to do). She can be very defensive (especially on behalf of others) and can certainly hold her own against anyone else.
Your strengths:
Leadership: Cathy is very astute and therefore she can be a very strategic thinker. She can often predict situations and always strategies for contingency. She likes to have a Plan B. And a Plan C. Plan D. Plan E. And so on. She can plan. She can organise. She can delegate. And she can do. She can often recognise the strengths within others (even when they cannot), and can always determine the best person for the job. She remains calm and cool within an emergency, and remains control of herself throughout various difficult and stressful situations.
Team Player: As a dancer (especially with the corps de ballet), Cathy is very, very aware of what it really means to be a team player. She understands how important each and every member of the team can be and will never forget so. She will work with her team through any venture (regardless of any personal or individual feelings), and will never leave anyone behind (even if she dislikes you!). A team is a team to Cathy (regardless of whether you even like the team), and you must always do your best with whatever you have and despite the circumstances (the objective is more important than who is on the team).
Protective: Cathy has a very motherly instinct and this often demonstrates with a very protective and very defensive nature towards those she considers her friends. She will literally bay for the blood of anyone who dares to upset or hurt anyone within her circle of friends!
Your weaknesses:
Aloof: Cathy can appear rather aloof (especially with those she doesnt really know), and has a tendency to believe that you should live by her own standards. She can therefore appear rather snobbish and even standoffish at times (especially if she is questioned or disagreed with). She is especially snobbish / standoffish with those who she considers uncouth. She does have the (unfortunate) tendency to believe that she is always right so she can be very much her way, or the highway!
Moody: Cathy will always play as part of the team (regardless of who is in charge)but when she believes that she is right / that she knew best then she will not be afraid to remind you (at every opportunity). She will be the first to say: I told you so! She will do whatever is asked of herbut not without complaint. She will often appear stubborn as she does so. She will definitely voice her opinion. Her disagreement. And even her disdain. She can appear rather sullen and most would be rather nervous / even reluctant to approach her when -
Elphie_Tiggular — 9 years ago(October 15, 2016 12:06 PM)
Name:
Ariana Morrisey.
Age:
24.
Gender:
Female.
Occupation:
Ariana is currently unemployed (as she was recently fired from Cosmopolitan (magazine) (where she was a receptionist). She was fired as she was always late and often failed to appear for work at all).
Appearance:
http://www.imdb.com/board/22683014/mediaviewer/rm3419476736
Ariana will start the experience with white strappy sandals and a large white shirt over her flesh-coloured bikini. She also has a large (very oversized) grey hooded sweater for the night (an old sweater from an ex-boyfriend).
Personality:
Ariana loves life. And she loves to live life! Every day is a party with Ariana (regardless of whether you wish to attend the party or not!). Ariana is a party-animal (there isnt one day of the week when she isnt at some party), and she is always considered the life and soul of every party. She loves to have fun and loves to entertain the boys (often with her body, as she is not shy). She loves to dance (often provocatively), and never fails to amuse and entertain with her antics at parties. She will always be the first to strip naked at a party, and loves to skinny-dip. You will never be bored with Ariana and she loves to have a laugh (though often at the expense of others).
Ariana thrives on attention (especially from males), and can appear sullen and annoyed when she is not the centre of attention. She is very manipulative with her beauty, and her sexuality, and will often use these to her advantage to get what she desires (from men). She can play the poor little me card very well. She only has to flutter her lashes and pout her lips and she will have every man at her feet (regardless of their wives and girlfriends!). She loves to be desired by men (as many as possible at any one time), and loves to be lavished with expensive gifts and adoration from the opposite sex. She loves to be worshipped and thrives on compliments. She loves to flirt and is very tactile with the boys. She doesnt really have any personal boundaries and definitely doesnt respect those of anyone else (especially those of the boyfriends of other girls!). Ariana will often base her opinion of men (and her relationship with them) on what they can do for her and what they can give her. Ariana is especially money-orientated and will automatically gravitate towards those with money, and social status (regardless of their age).
Ariana can be very loud and very boisterous (especially vocally). You will always hear her voice (and only her voice) in a crowd. She has to be heard above all. She is deliberately loud to ensure that she has everyones attention and cannot speak quietly (even if she tried!). She says what she thinks and doesnt consider the consequences (often without any consideration for the feelings of others). Ariana has a tendency to shriek when she laughs (even though this is even exaggerated for effect). She is often overly dramatic for the attention and will often react most dramatically to any situation or event (againfor effect!). Very OTT with her reactions. She is very lively and animated (very expressive with her hands and facial expressions) when she speaks.
Ariana wishes that everyone could be as carefree and as much of a party-animal as she is (and will try her hardest to make everyone so). She doesnt have a single care in the world and she doesnt allow anything to worry, or concern her. She is very much about live for today, and dont worry about tomorrow. She really doesnt like to hear about anyone elses problems or worries and will blatantly appear disinterested (and may even walk away). She will often create a scene / a fuss to divert attention away from the speaker (when she isnt the centre of attention herself).
Ariana will definitely be loyal to the boys and will expect loyalty (and a whole lot more) in return from them. She will expect to be loved. Adored. And cherished. She will probably lead them into trouble with her antics (such as stealing clothes or hiding food), but they will certainly have fun with Ariana. She definitely cannot keep a secret and absolutely loves to gossip (especially about other people).
Your strengths:
Exposure: Due to her rather hedonistic lifestyle, Ariana is almost acclimatised to a life of exposure. She spends all day in the sun and all night at beach parties and pool-parties. She is barely indoors. And most of the time she is dressed in very little (if any more than a bikini!). She is never bothered by the heat and she barely notices the cold. She isnt bothered by the rain (shes often partied in such weather), and has often slept outside on sun-loungers and even pool inflatables (though normally whilst intoxicated!).
Water Baby: Ariana is a natural water baby, since she has spent so much of her life beside the pool (either at pool-parties or merely sunbathing). She loves the water and can literally swim like a fish.
Manipulative: Give Ariana an army of men and she could have them build her a palace in a day. She is an e -

Hey hey.
Yess, that's what I was thinking of. I love her energy already, she's a bit of a villain but not villain-villain if you know what I mean. More just someone who causes chaos and stirs things up instead of the kind that deliberately screws people over.
Funnies thing, I had been working on a character like that but I'm changing her a little now. Will be just hilarious to have them both on the same tribe. -
Elphie_Tiggular — 9 years ago(October 16, 2016 04:53 AM)
Hehe. I was hoping that you would know exactly how to read this character
Ooh! Hope that she wasn't too similar to your character and you haven't had to alter her too much!
ELPHABA:
Eleka Nahmen Nahmen Ah Tum Ah Tum Eleka Nahmen.
