Here you will find a brief description of those characters that can be role played by anyone they are default members of the Island ones which were here before the site was opened.
Jerry Bennett :: 46 :: Male
Owner of Jerry’s Garage, he is a rather surly man who prefers to keep to himself, and just work on the cars, he doesn’t like these young rebellious teenagers that have been coming to the island lately. With a slight soft spot for Ellen and Alison, he thinks of them as his daughters and often watches Alison for Ellen when she goes off to welcome new citizens. Jerry was brought here when he himself was 27 now he is 46 and living here, he accepted his fate long ago but he often wishes he could see his family again.
You see since being brought here he has never looked at anyone, his heart still lay’s with his wife in Australia and his own little daughter, she had been one when he was ripped from his home. So now separated from his family he works to hide the pain of never seeing his little girl grow up, a pain that he knows will haunt him for a long time to come.
Lucy Whittier :: 43 :: Female
Owner of the Internet Café, Lucy is a bubbly person who loves life despite being brought here 3 years ago against her will she has fitted into the town with ease. She is a friend to everyone and although she loves to hear the stories of the new arrivals she is not a gossip and she never tells anyone else’s secrets to anyone. She is an honorable women who although she misses those she left behind treasures every day here and believes that maybe one day the island will bring them to her.
In the mean time she is married to the cop of the island, Will, they met shortly after she came to the island and it was love at first sight for her. He was a hard man to win over but she eventually did and even though he is sometimes hard to deal with due to his behavior she wouldn’t trade him for the world.
Will Whittier :: 44 :: Male
A natural leader, he loves by a carefully crafted set of personal rules. He is intelligent and charming in his own way, and equipped with a dry sense of humor that can be quite disarming. He demands the absolute best from everyone around him and because of this, he can seem quite unforgiving at times. He does this though, because he feels that it is his responsibility to look out for everyone on the Island, and because he always feels he knows what is best. He is also one of the few people who can say he was born on the Island, and is married to Lucy Whittier, (owner of the Internet Cafe) who arrived at the Island three years ago.
He has a withstanding grudge against Marshall, seeing the 26 year old as nothing but trouble after busting him in several break-in attempts and thefts. When Marshall first arrived at the Island a year ago, he was constantly in and out of the holding area thanks to Will.
Kayla Markson :: 21 :: Female
Kayla was one of the very few people who can say she was born on the Island. She was a straight A student back in school, majoring in Math and Biology. Her father, Andrew was a Veterinarian and her mother, Maree trained horses for a living (Thus her love for the welfare of animals). She was studying Veterinary practice, and had been doing work experience from her father since she was sixteen.
Although legally adult now, in many ways, she is still very childish. For example, she is stubborn and does not always listen to others around her. Moreover, she does not always take accountability for her actions. Other than this, she is shown as strong, assertive, strong-willed, at times stubborn, and often as trying to prove her goodness to the others by doing favours and house calls to houses when they are unable to visit the clinic themselves.
She one day hopes to inherit the Veterinary Clinic from her father.
She has one pet, a three year old German Sheppard called Lincoln. Lincoln is a fairly excitable young dog, but quite placid and well-trained most days as well. He is strong and loyal to a fault for his owner and those she feels comfortable around. She bought him off of an elderly man, who disappeared a few years ago, shortly after Lincoln was born.
[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote] Tom Condor :: 37 :: Male
Tom was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1970 the son of Irish Catholic immigrants. His mother, Nora, was a maid, and his father, John Condor (deceased) was an auto mechanic. Tom and his parents immigrated from a town in Ireland, to come to Massachusis when he was around 8 years old. After school , Tom started working in fire-fighting, but after one of his co-workers died in a house wire, he soon realised that it wasn't for him and started bar-tending instead.
At the age of 35, he was due to be married to his fiance of five years but during the reception after the wedding, he was about to make a toast he felt the floor disappear underneath him and then he was standing ankle deep in the water holding up a half-full wine glass.
He was deeply affected by the event and subsequently became a somewhat bitter person at first but has definitely become allot more tolerant, and friendly towards the locals. About a year ago, when Marshall arrived at the Island, he saw something in the young man that reminded him of himself and gave the Southern guy a job bar tending with him.
Skeptical, abrasive, offhand, and sharp-witted, Tom can seem fairly detached from most people and instead prefers the ways of learning through books and science, and he takes his responsibilities to his job very seriously. He is also very intelligent and good at coming up with ideas - even if said ideas are not always very good.
Patriotic and long to hold a grudge, he is quick to exact vengeance for any wrongs done to himself of the ones he cares for. He is a very see-it-as-it-is sort of man and holds little interest in mysticism, preferring to solve problems using his strength.
Max Connor :: 65 :: Male
Max Connor’s wildman looks, his mane of grey hair and devil-may-care demeanor has always caused people to be attracted to him. He has a beastiness and an underlying sensitivity with a philosophic wisdom and this poetic nature that speaks to people. He is a person who rushes with self-confidence, and has said to be one of the luckiest people on the Island. He is a very just man, with allot of generosity. Max was born on the 24th of November 1942 (65 years old) in Darwin, Australia where he took up mining as his first profession at the age of 18.
He travelled around Australia for most of his life after that, working as a Jumbo Operator hopping from mining town after mining town until he eventually hit the Wheat Belt and settled there for three years at the age of 50.
It was there one night that he had been eating in the mess hall after work, and left to go to the rest-room to do his business. As he unzipped his zipper, he suddenly felt a sinking feeling as the walls and floor started to melt. He shut his eyes and suddenly he realized that he was then standing in the middle of a car park inside of the drive-through cinema.
Soon afterwards, he applied for a job there and has worked there now for about fifteen years.
Helga Morris :: 44 :: Female
Born to a German mother and a Scottish father in Germany before migrating to America at the age of six. While growing up, her intelligence impressed her father and he encouraged her natural maternal abilities. She went on to study to become a doctor after graduating high school and soon began work at George Washington University Hospital as a very talented senior attending physician/residency director. She specialties in optometry and internal medicine.
She has a remarkable ability to solve problems through reason has made her able to function well during a crisis. She is usually in control of her life and emotions and is able to keep a cool head even in a seemingly hopeless situation.
She was brought to the Island five years ago and still retains her former position as the senior attending physician/residency director at the Seraph Island Hospital. She often says that she believed that God sent her here for a reason, and sees this as a test of faith from Him.
