C. G. O’Connell
1st mate, bowsain, and all around deck hand. O’ Connell is a typical sailor a unique combination of fearless rogue, superstious , but would never admit it to himself, just didn’t believe in tempting fate.. He knew the Captain from the time she was a scrawny kid hanging about her docks. Some would not sail with her for no other reason than she was a woman and that was bad luck.
He was uneasy about this trip but would not let the “Cap” down. He leaned against the starboard rail as the truck with the ships stores came rolling down the dock. The scientific equipment was already sowed aboard.
He watched as the team assembled. Land lubbers the lot of them, well there was worked to be done.
“Cap stores arriving I sign for them.”

A character I would like to have is a college student, female.
Name:Arieana Livingstein
Age:22
Red hair and blue eyes. She is a med student, currently holding her nursing degree. She is short, only 5'2" tall. Her body is muscular, but not fat. She treasures herself as a martial artist for self defence.
What brought her to this trip was the adventure. She longs to enjoy all that life has to offer and not everything is land based. She makes a good medic, and is willing to learn just about everything.
Her wake up routine always consist of yoga, so she carries a mat on her journey as well as a journal for all her sorrows, tribulations and enjoyable moments as well. She guards it with her life, for it is all she has left in this life.
She was an orphan. At the age of graduation she "inherited" a good deal of money, but isn't sure how much exactly. The benefactor is a mystery, and that is something she studies hard to find information on.
Name: Douglas Wilbanks
Hair: Black, cut short and left to it's own devices.
Eyes: Brown.
Height: 5'10"
Build: Athletic.
Major: Physics
Minor: Mythologies of the Ancient and Modern Worlds
Bio: A dark individial, 'Doug' says little with words, and even less with body language. When he does speak, he amazes people with his in-depth knowledge of not only the subjects he studies, but a wide array of trivia that would easilly win him any gameshow. The technician for the delicate equipment brought on the trip, his past and reasons for coming are unknown to the others, but his knowledge is needed for the trip.
Appearance: Currently, he is wearing a plain blue T-shirt, simple khaki slacks, and a thick pair of hiking boots. He wears a simple metal chain necklace with no ornamentation, and keeps time with an old silver pocketwatch. He's wearing a plain navy blue baseball cap.
I took out the rules, the evil entity now has a mission. To rob these people like a succibus would. Draining sexual energies until the vicitm lays dead
Anyone not like this? I think it would be good and leaves room for new comers to "crash" in there as well and end up on the ship. I think it's a good twist.
Name: Arianna Davis
Age: 23
Green eyes, Black hair, keeps it just above her shoulders. 5´6 tall, she has a slim figure with full D cup breasts.
Arianna is a College student, she studies journalism and is part of the crew for obious reasons, she wants the story .The idea was labeled as stupid by some of her friends ( thats why she was the only volunteer as a reporter ). She is smart, and ready to face anyhting just to get the stories that will give her recognition and fame.
Would love to join in, I can pretend I'm back in college.
Jeremy Roberts
Age 21, Tall but slim, Short brown hair, Blue eyes.
Jeremy is a bit easily led, he's been goaded into the trip by his girlfriend who said that he should live a little more. Quiet and thoughful, Jeremy has a good head on his shoulders but is a bit over cautious when it comes to life sometimes.
Now on the boat Jeremy has become extremely nervous about the journey and is hoping everyone will want to head home soon. He will panic easily but could find new strengths in a crisis situation.
OC - not sure if anyone wants to play his girlfriend but it doesn't matter if not because he could be trying to prove himself to her by doing something she wouldn't.
I like the idea of turning this into more of a sexual theme (not a slam bam thank you mam thing though lol )Fear of the unknown, being thrown together into a strange situation would draw them together to form relationships of their own speed and direction. and of course the frustration of being (towards the end of course))unable to continue with these relationships will add to the plot. Lets do it. Any body else got ideas, nows the time to give your imput.
Welcome everyone. We now have Two college gals and two college guys. I am still looking for that "evil" guy to take on the entity, perhaps I will find two people to take that on? not sure yet.
We need one more guy and one more gal. Anyone interested? now any friends who might be? I dont want to get too far into the thread without a full cast. But! If we cant find them, we'll settle for what we have, it is more than enough
Try White Queen I think she likes fantasies and is a good writer. You can tell her I said so. lol
She's in gunsmoke right now.
I agree, let's hold back for more players though if we keep the dialog general we can move ahead some.
Anyways, I am have two roles open remaining I would prefer some Lit Virgins to join New comers. Get their feet wet instead of the experienced writers all in a single thread. They need experience rp'ing with others here in lit.
I invited several newbies. It's first come first serve now.
Do you still have a spot for a guy open? I am fairly new and would satisfy the Virgin requirement. =)
I've read through the post but was too lazy to count the people so I'm not sure if hte spot is open. Let me know and I will take it up if it's available.
I like the story, though, it looks very promising. An interesting sidenote, I sailed to Bermuda 2 months ago in RL so this is kind of funny. =D
