Chatterbox: Inkwell

 

~A Celtic CBer Story~

Ok, this is the first CBer story/solo write I've ever done before, so I’m a little inexperienced. It might slow down a little during Camp NaNoWriMo, because I am doing that too. But I have high hopes for this!


The PLOT~ (slightly inspired by the roleplay game Oxenfree)



    Six characters are trapped on a remote island off the coast of Scotland. Three landed because of a plane crash. The other three...were originally on a photography trip and vanished five years ago, never to be seen again. The island seems deserted, with only a few strange stone monuments, the ruins of a castle, and a rundown empty farmhouse as evidence of its prior residence. However, as soon as the six characters are united, unusual things start happening. Time is no longer linear, and begins to warp and cause loops. Strange patterns appear in the ground between the ruins, which sometimes give off an unearthly glow at night. And people begin to go missing, turning up later with no recollection of what happened in the past few hours...


*******************************************


I will take two MCs, four secondaries, and up to three background charries (if there are any extra people).


Main Characters (MCs): I will write from your point of view, although in 3rd person. You will be least likely to die.


Secondary Characters: Characters close to the MCs. I will occasionally write from your point of view, though not very often. You will be most likely to die, go missing, get seriously injured, betray your friends, etc. (mwa ha ha…)


Background Characters: Characters loosely related to the plot and mentioned briefly. You also have a higher chance of dying. I will not write from your point of view.



THE CHARRIE SHEET~

*oh, and by the way, if you actually know the story of the roleplay game Oxenfree, don’t spoil it. I will be using some of the ideas to form the plot of my story… >:D*

This sounds interesting.

NAME: Kes Terrel

GENDER: Female

APPEARANCE: See picture

PERSONALITY:Extremely devoted and loyal to those she cares for. When you first meet her, she often seems cold and uncaring, but she tends to show her kind, caring side with time. Self-confident, sarcastic, intelligent, intuitive and kind-hearted, and follows her heart, freedom is something very important to her, loathes unnecessary cruelty, greatly enjoys reading and travelling. She is very loyal to her friends and is willing to become a monster in order to protect them. Feel free to change and add to the personality as you see fit. :)

STRENGTHS: Hand to hand combat, her perceptiveness, resourcefulness, and her love of books allows her to be fairly smart.

Mysteries? Conspiracy theories? Crashed airplanes? Scotland? I AM SO IN!

Name: Oh goodness... how about Esq or Esquire? Or Rohan? Choose anyone you like the most.

Gender: F

Appearance: Tall for her age, athletic, dusty blond hair. Mmm... green eyes.

Personality: Great sense of humor, shy at first. Loves fantasy books, superheroes, vocabulary, not a strong leader though. 

What type of character would you like to be: MC? If that's taken then Secondary. Please.

Strengths and flaws: Strengths: Good in the wild, and animals. And doesn't jump to conclusions. Also good at sneaking up on people. I can make my sisters scare so bad! Good times...*looks off into space* Flaws: A tiny bit of a pushover. Unless I'm in my element like the wilderness. Not good in hights. Or the sea.

How much jet lag effects you: Hardly at all

Would you like to have fantasy powers: Depends what they are! So no.

This is going to be great Jarvis!

NAME: Ina 'Ash' Embire

GENDER: F

APPEARANCE: Look at picture.

WHAT CHARACTER YOU WANT TO BE: Background charrie! I wonder how I'll die....

STRENGTHS AND FLAWS: Upbeat and bouncy, enjoys singing and storytelling. Tries to stay on the bright side. Hates it when people cry, because it's one thing she can't easily fix. Her bouncy personality can annoy certain people, although she generally doesn't try to be annoying. Tends to defend her friends, but in an argument will side with whichever opinion she agrees with, not who she knows. 

HOW GOOD ARE YOU AT WILDERNESS SURVIVAL: Miraculous. Her mom's good at foraging and she's spent her life growing up next to woodlands. Has read many survival books and always carries a pocketknife. 

HOW MUCH JET-LAG AFFECTS YOU: Not very much.  Not exactly a frequent flier, but travelled enough to be fine. 

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE ANY FANTASY POWERS?: Yes. Maybe healing or something like that.
