Caravanserai [Inactive Sheets/Check Out]

[Flower]

For guests/staff that are no longer active or have decided to check out of paradise.

[Flower]

Name: Theodore Leavenworth
Age: 31
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Personality: Always the first to seek out a thrill, Theo will usually dart towards danger with a lopsided grin, always ready to conquer the impossible. It is hard to say how many times he has actually succeeded or failed. That does not really matter much to him because at least he does not need to live with that nagging question of ‘what if’. After his failed marriage, the idea of monogamy left a sour taste in his mouth, not that he had much belief in it to begin with. Despite his family being disgusted with how often he goes through women, it has not stopped him from indulging himself.

Eyes: Dark Brown
Height: 6'2
Body Build: Muscular
Additional Physical Notes: Theo stands just over six feet. He faithful routine of working out has kept him in shape, not to neglect that his job keeps him on his feet. His eyes are deep blue while he has a dimple in his cheek when he smiles. His hair is normally kept messy and he has a tendency of letting it grow until he needs a haircut.

History: Theodore was born into a rather unconventional family, filled with secrets. One more child was already too much so two children were completely out of the question. Gifted with only a name, he was given away to a distant friend of the family, who promised never to reveal the child’s true parents. Not only did they make that vow but they also moved out of the country. The States called their name and they remade their lives in rural Texas. Nature anchored their lives as his parents devoted their lives to ensuring the protection of a nearby national park. Needless to say, Theo grew up wild.

His life was pretty much every kid’s dream until reality ruined everything. His parents divorced one another. He went from living with two loving parents to constantly bickering ones. After a nasty divorce, it was determined that Theo would spend most of the year with his mother and his summer vacations with his father. He left with an one way plane ticket the first opportunity he got. It was in his travels that he met Reese. Their friendship grew into a relationship. He made the mistake of allowing it to become something more. Well, ideas seem great when drunk but one quickly realizes their mistake when sober. They did their best to make it work but marriage just wasn't for him. One mistake lead to another and eventually Reese divorced him. He doesn't blame her but that doesn't mean he doesn't also regret what happened between them. He learned of the hotel hiring through an online job board. For whatever reason, they've determined he's worth hiring.

Face Claim:Aishwarya Rai

[HockeyGod]

Name: Brandon Murphy
Age: 27
Sexuality: Brandon will flirt with anyone
Personality: Brandon is a happy-go-lucky chap that enjoys bringing a smile to a patron’s face. As a trained mixologist and bartender, he not only knows the craft, but also the important role of a listener. Brandon is able to either hear and/or listen and to keep his lip buttoned when necessary.

Eyes: Blue
Height: 6’1”
Body Build: Thin with lean muscle mass
Additional Physical Notes: Brandon has a tattoo on his upper right shoulder (unseen if short sleeved). It is of a martini glass with an olive.

History: Brandon comes from a long line of upscale pub owners and bartenders well respected in the UK and Ireland – his great grandfather, grandfather and father all learned the craft. His future will be to inherit the family business, but for now he is rounding out his experience and skills outside the family. This sojourn is an important step in becoming a master mixologist, sommelier, and respected bartender.

Brandon spends much of his time secretly watching out for his younger sister (see the post immediately following this one). While his sister has a more laissez-faire approach to life, now that she's snagged a job for Caravanserai, Brandon will be sure she shows up every day.  ::)

Face Claim: Unknown

[Flower]

Name: Reese Leavenworth
Age: 29
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Personality: Reese can sometimes be the person who you really want to punch in the face. How does she have that much energy in the morning sans coffee? It's a mystery no one has figured out. Her demeanor has always been pleasant and outgoing which is part of the reason why she had so many friends growing up. A stranger is not even safe from her chatty nature. She is also pretty physical. Hugs are preferred to the formality of handshakes. Those close to her are also greeted with a quick kiss on the cheek.

Eyes: Blue
Height: 5'6
Body Build: Slim but muscular
Additional Physical Notes: Has a tattoo at the inside of her wrist of a crow

History: Reese has always been a bit of a black sheep within her large family. She comes from a household of nine people. Mom, Dad, four sisters, two brothers, and then there’s her, the youngest of the bunch. Her mother has often called her the unexpected burden, making it clear she thought herself done with having children before Reese’s arrival. Her mom never talked about the years before her marriage. The two always bumped heads until finally Reese moved out before graduating from high school.

Life was a constant party when she stepped into adulthood. Without her parents to harness her wilder side, Reese fell into the wrong crowds and dropped out of college. She experimented quite a lot and was always surrounded by friends. Travelling became her passion. It was through traveling the world that she met, fell in love with, and married Reed. He helped her find a place to channel her anger about what happened with her family into something more useful. Nothing ever works out though. For reasons she does not discuss, or even contemplate, their marriage ended in a divorce. It was by chance that she found out about Caravansarie's opening. It's there she's hoping for a fresh start.


Face Claim: Julianne Hough

[MabFaerie]

Name: Persephone (Percy) Jones
Age: 22
Sexuality: Pansexual, but kind of oblivious
Personality: Clumsily good-intentioned and a little socially awkward, Percy lacks the gift of gab her brother seems so affluent in, making up for her shortage of charm with an abundance of enthusiasm. As far as she's concerned, if you can't talk smooth, just talk fast and hope people won't know the difference.

Eyes: Violet
Height: 5'7
Body Build: Slender and lanky
Additional Physical Notes: Percy is covered in a variety of colorful tattoo's including, but not limited to, two full sleeves of Greek mythology artwork that extend from shoulder to wrist, a blue butterfly tattoo across her chest, and a floral-themed piece along her right thigh. She has a multitude of piercings in either ear, a hoop in her left eyebrow and a stud in her nose. 

History: Unlike her half-brother, Brandon, Percy will cheerfully insist that she has absolutely no idea what she wants to be when she grows up, but she'll let you know once she gets there. With Brandon taking over the family business, Percy has always been free to follow her dreams, the only problem was that her dreams never quite picked a direction to set their sights on.
The eccentric young woman seems to have taken the phrase 'Choose a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life' to heart instead, as both her hobbies and current profession involve gaming, to lesser or greater degrees.
If asked why she decided to tag along with Brandon, you'll probably get an answer akin to 'I didn't have any plans that day' or 'The ride was cheaper if we split it'. Whatever her reasons, the quirky violet-eyed girl seems perfectly content to hang around the game room killing time while Brandon works the bar. 

Face Claim: Celia Edell

[Westal]

Name: Marcus "Marc" Durann
Age:29
Sexuality: Straight
Personality: Sarcastic for the sake of humor, but generally friendly, if not gregarious. Marc is by default a pacifist, but he also has a habit of aggression against those he sees as bullies or downright jerks. He loves to laugh though, even if it's him at the butt of a joke (as long as it's a funny one).

Eyes:Blue
Height:6'1"
Body Build:Broad and toned.
Additional Physical Notes: A tattoo of a splintering cross on his left arm, with a long scroll across the crosspiece that read in Latin: "Know the Idol, Worship the Ideal."

History:
Marc walked out of his California tech job three years ago,and never returned to that side of the world, much less his corner office. He purchased a new phone with a new number, and then proceeded to travel all over the world. He had no itinerary, no contacts, and really no plan. All he knew was that the world he had known was a lie, and that he wanted to find some truth. Not the truth necessarily, just anything, really.His previous life had given him the means to travel lavishly, but he settled for convenience and moderate comfort. He caught cheap flights going to random places at all hours of the day. The departure time was always more important than the destination city.
Sometimes he played tourist. Sometimes he worked for a week (for legal and illegal jobs). He fell in love with women; and always tried to make it clear that they probably shouldn't fall in love with him.

He would try anything once, and many things numerous times. He loved anything new or unique to his prior life.

Which was why he inevitably made his way here.

Face Claim:Alden Ehrenreich

[Kit Cat]

Name: Kinsey O'Malley
Age: 33
Sexuality: Pansexual
Personality: Fluctuating, depending on her mood and state of mind. At times she can be a brooding, almost cynical presence, who’s blunt observations and cutting sarcasm reflects her negative view of the world. Other times, she is the life and soul of the party; determined to live life to the max and take as many chances as she can.

Personable and empathetic when she wants to be, she can work her way into another’s confidence, and has a need to find out how others ‘tick’—the curse of her work and her past.

Her time both as an undercover detective, and PI have developed her skills to ‘blend in’ with the crowd meaning she can as easily be found quietly sitting in a corner—observing the passing of humanity and jotting down any interesting information of note—as she can in disguise, playing out a new part that she ‘claims’ might be of use in the future.

The sad truth of the matter being, she finds it easier to pretend to play at other people and put an act on, than be herself.

Eyes: Blue-Green
Height: 5’ 6”
Body Build: Slim but athletic
Additional Physical Notes: Has a long scar along her right elbow that has a tattoo of an ouroboros over it, in an unsuccessful attempt to cover it.

History: Former Undercover Detective in the London Metropolitan Police Force, Kinsey left under a cloud after a particularly gruelling case which left her with PTSD. Refusing counselling, and unable to hold down a steady job, Kinsey used the last of her resources to set up her own private investigation business in an attempt to rebuild her life.

Though her skills and intelligence allowed her to flourish in her chosen work, the memories of the past, along with having to deal with the very worst of humanity on a daily basis, have gradually eaten away at what was once an ambitious, positive young woman who wanted to make the world a better place, leaving her tired and jaded.

After another breakdown, and, having drank most of the money she had made, she begrudgingly took her doctor’s advice to get away from the city—and the things that it reminds her of—and try and recharge her batteries.

With little resources, Kinsey set off travelling, with the intent of hiring herself out as and when she needed more funds, and has, by way of numerous twists and turns, finally ended up here after a successful payoff, with the intent to stay and recuperate a while.

Face Claim: Sofia Helin

[Jaclyn]

Name: Katrina von Roissy
Gender: Transgender female (post SRS)
Age: 27
Sexuality: Pansexual when not in a committed relationship, serial monogamous when committed.

Personality: Kat or Käti is very businesslike when dealing with those who operate her resorts around the Caribbean and in Hawaii. Outside of work, much depends on circumstances. Because she operated resorts properties, she expects meticulous perfection from staff yet is kind and helpful the farther down the hierarchy the person is. She is typically reserved around new people because she has had attempts made on her wealth in the guise of friendship, though she doesn't dwell on waiting for acquaintance s to prove themselves before trusting them enough to allow herself to be vulnerable and open to whatever scene  is at hand.

Eyes: Blue
Height: 5'8"
Body Build: Fit though not muscular
Additional Physical Notes: Butterfly tattoo on underside of left breast. Nipples have holes still open from from earlier piercing.

History: Käti was on the path to success in business with her fiancée when tragedy struck and her fiancée was kidnapped and is presumed lost these many years. Käti received a whole lot of money when her and her fiancée's mentor decided to sell the business they were being groomed to operate. Käti took her business acumen and experience at the Lacy Place Resort and Casino and invested in what grew to be ten boutique resort in Hawaii and around the Caribbean. And that would have been that had she not had a run in with anotehr resident of the hotel, one Nikita Beauchamp that lead to all sorts of nastiness. Without disclosing that still playing story, Käti sought psychiatric help and was eventually prescribed 'time away.' Caravanserai was about as far away as she could get and hopefully the ones who plague her can't or don't follow.

[OOC: This is not a LaceE story, just backstory for Käti.]

Face Claim: Katrina Bowden

[Vicissitude]

Name:  Brandon Russtiff
Gender:  Male
Age: 25
Sexuality: Gay, but will flirt with the ladies more than the guys.

Personality:  Brandon isn't one to shy away from a social gathering.  Ever. Though he can be a little scattered and carried away in situations when he he does get onto a subject that he's really into, talking a mile a minute and asking rapid-fire questions, missing subtle cues that others have tuned out on him.  Bringing up any local cryptozoology/legend, or paranormal activity in a vicinity is a quick way to cause this.  His best friends know they can tell him to just shut up for a moment and let them talk, and he'll just sheepishly grin and shrug and go quiet. 

When out of the social circle, though, and investigating, he's very different. Quiet and intensely focused, almost obsessively, enough that his sense of self-preservation can be compromised in the effort to determine the answer to his question.  More than once he's ended up needing stitches, a cast, or an extraction of some foreign object.

Eyes: Dark blue-grey
Height: 5'10"
Body Build:  Average
Additional Physical Notes:  He's got his share of scars, mostly on his arms and legs, from his misadventures around the United States and the world.  He has one one the left-hand side of his abdomen that he tells casual strangers is an appendix scar, despite it being the wrong side of his body.  His ears are pierced, but he rarely wears anything because he keeps losing them, and had one get ripped out once. 

History:  Putting forth a good face as a typical Cali surfer/party-guy who's parents have too much money to burn, Brandon is actually more curious about the world around him than he usually lets on.  Mostly because it tends to get him into trouble.  Curiosity as a child about how things worked, and taking apart electronics somehow blossomed into a curiosity about the paranormal.  A very strong curiosity.  The kind that involved a whole lot of breaking and entering when younger.  And sometimes still does.

So far he's focused his available funds on traveling around the world to a bucket list of placed considered haunted or eerie.  After his last adventure nearly was his last, he's taking a break for a bit in the desert, needing a change of scenery...  And somewhere to stay out of trouble for a bit.

Face Claim: Alex Pettyfer

[Steffy]

Name: Steffy Danielle Dubois
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Sexuality: Lesbian (of sorts)
Personality: A not-so-dumb ‘dumb blonde’.  Be careful!

Eyes: Blue
Height: 5’8”
Body Build: Curvaceous
Additional Physical Notes: Perhaps a tattoo or two in locations that are not usually discovered

History: Steffy runs on adrenaline.  She started the Cute Girl Detective Agency (CGDA).  Fortunately, she is indulged by a generous benefactor, Peter Warcaof.  Unspoiled, but believes she’ll find the truffle when she lands in trouble.  She roils at injustices, is fiercely loyal to friends and can tend to simplify. Everyone she meets is her newest friend.  She’ll jump into a fray, but is a lover, not a fighter.  (She’s managed stilettos, but she’s clearly not athletic, embarrassingly so, very enthusiastic, energized). The next bit of adrenaline is Caravanserai—Steffy can’t help but think that adventure lies ahead with friends now to be found in the desert.   

Face Claim: Wallaroo Naples Safari Hat model (shrug, that’s the best I can do).

[RampantDesires]

Name: Dev Mallik
Age: 31
Sexuality: Heteroflexible
Personality: Currently a reforming workaholic and perfectionist.  Dev is incapable of letting an argument go if he believes that he is right about something.  He struggles a little bit with the empathy portion of his job, especially when people's own dumb decisions come back to haunt them, but he's working on it and has a tendency to be a bit too blunt for his own good (or the delicate feelings of those around him). Detests small talk and water cooler chit-chat.  Talk about something meaningful, even if it is weird and off the wall, but he has no interest in discussing the weather (unless it is somehow exceptional and then you get a pass).

Eyes: Brown
Height: 6'0"
Body Build: Determinedly but a bit resentfully fit
Additional Physical Notes: This whole shaggier hair and stubble, 'relaxed' look is new for him and he does not always seem comfortable with it, brushing hair out of his eyes, fingers running along his jaw. Has an appendectomy scar.   

History: Dev's life has been one of relative luxury and he does his best to appreciate that and the opportunities it has given him. Far better to focus on the good than the pressure that comes when your parents are both well respected and even 'brilliant' doctors.  As their only and beloved child that he would follow in their footsteps was a given ... except he's fallen short of that high bar, veered down a different path that has resulted in him, not being disowned or regarded as a disappointment exactly, his choice just confuses his family.  Why stay a physicians assistant when you could be so much more?  Because he likes it?  Because he's good at it?  Because he doesn't want the life and death pressure that they deal with every day?

The somewhat recent death of his father (two years ago) Dev has taken things a step further quitting his job with a larger hospital and coming to work at Caravanserai.  Technically he works under a Dr. Everett, but in the months he's been here he's seen the mysterious doctor all of twice, once when he arrived and a random hallway run in.  The good Doctor is apparently a friend of the three owners and stays in semi-retirement, which seems a lot to him like FULL retirement, but it works well enough. He's stopped sending informative or questioning texts.  Invariably the response was some version of: "You're a smart boy, you'll figure it out..."

Paperwork gets signed and left in their shared office, supply orders get filled, and Dev does indeed figure things out.  Taking care of the various bumps and bruises among the guests and staff isn't generally taxing, hell most of the time it is a band-aid and some advice to take it easy for a few days, but he IS a bit worried about what would happen in a real medical emergency.

Face Claim: Arjun Gupta

[Kokaine]

Name: Dylan Reid
Age: 31
Sexuality: Pansexual, not into sleeping around but she's grown, possibly poly (closed trios)
Personality: As someone who is both sensual and passionate but not a big fan of sharing, Dylan keeps a tight rein over her emotions--or tries to anyway. She's charming enough to have plenty of "friends" back home even while sharing so little of her true self with anyone. Perhaps this is because despite being a woman of few words, she's very much the type who will do what she wants, when she wants, rules or expectations be damned. She is intelligent but more than that she is a fan of common sense and keeping it real. If you're looking for someone to boost your ego by telling you what you want to hear instead of the truth, Dylan is not the person to talk to. In polite company she is aloof at first and may take a minute to warm up. She tends to project an air of confidence that borders on arrogance--some will no doubt find her to be so--but among friends she's generally more warm and relaxed and likes to laugh. In spite of how often she found herself there growing up, Dylan does not enjoy being the center of attention as much as one would expect.

Eyes: Green
Height: 5'4"
Body Build: Curvy but fit
Additional Physical Notes:  Dylan doesn't care about fashion trends or what's hot right now. She likes to wear what she wants and to be honest from day to day her style differs. She loves sneakers and usually doesn't bother with more than the most basic of make up (like maybe some lip gloss or eyeliner). She also has her tongue pierced and has 5 holes in each ear (2 cartilage, 3 lobe) along with a belly button piercing. Thus far she has no tattoos. Generally Dylan sounds like she's from somewhere in New York (good luck guessing the neighborhood), however, when riled up her original Jamaican accent comes through.

History: Dylan spent the first half of her life in Jamaica where she was doted on by her father. As far as she can remember it really was like paradise being there even though they struggled. After her father got a bigger and better job offer that moved them from the island up to New York it was less paradise and more like... lonely. Rather than attention and actual parenting, more and more Dylan saw money shoved at her in lieu of actual attention and the answer 'yes' given to every whim without much consideration for the actual question being asked. Hell, she saw the housekeeper they ended up with more often then she did her father as he became consumed by his career.

Dylan could have simply gone wild she supposed but by that time she'd already had dreams and aspirations for herself which meant if there was to be any semblance of structure in her life and success to pursue, she had to create it herself. So she did. She kept herself on the honor roll and participated in various clubs and extra-curriculars. She played various sports throughout middle and high school but basketball was always her fist love and she had a mean crossover. Her original plan for herself involved signing with a team in the WNBA but as she grew up and discovered an even deeper passion for writing, art, and history she moved away from that childhood dream to one she considered to be more fulfilling.

Now Dylan is a best-selling author. She has one running scf-fi series as well as a few stand alone graphic novels and a popular web comic all published under a pen name. She's taken to a new location, Caravanserai, as she tackles a new novel set in an entirely new universe trying to distance herself from heightened expectations and some mistakes made along the way.

Face Claim: Kreesha Turner

[Peripherie]

Name: Brielle "Breezy" Garin
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Personality: Plucky and sweet normally. Withdrawn and quiet when she is moody. It takes a lot to get her moody. While she is equally as comfortable alone, she can hold her own in a conversation.

Eyes: Hazel
Height: 5'6"
Body Build: Naturally slim with yoga muscles
Additional Physical Notes: For Breezy, tanning means just connecting her freckles with larger freckles - but it suits her. Even still, with her very fair skin, she likes to wear big floppy hats when outside for too long. She has a few tattoos but they are hidden and she won't share unless she really trusts someone AND has had a drink or two.

History: She had originally planned a trip to Caravanserai as a honeymoon but arrived solo. Breezy had the ambiguous job title of business consultant but she had managed to get in on the ground floor of a now up-and-coming advertising firm so she had done pretty well for herself. They expect her back hard at work in a few weeks. Or they did, until she sent an email from the airport that she wouldn't be returning. Looking for some relaxation before she figures out exactly what she was going to do with herself next, she actually doesn't feel too bad about her prospects.

[Chantal]

Name: Tatyana Dementiev
Gender: Female
Age: 30
Sexuality: Heterosexual (so far)
Personality: Almost always polite and kind. Only among friends she lowers her guard, becoming more honest, flirty and cheerful.

Eyes: Brown
Height:5'9"
Body Build: Well built, strong body, but slender, agile
Additional Physical Notes: None.

History: Tatyana is a successful, professional belly dancer. She fell in love with Arabic dances at young age and this love didn't leave much room for anything else in her life. She travels the world to preform on different occasions like tournaments, weddings, shows and many other. She is always at work, aware that everyone she meets can turn out to be her next employer. Even here, where she decided to come for a well deserved holiday, she came expecting to meet many rich people who throw parties and maybe one of them would be interested in hiring her. However she came here mainly for holidays - resting well and having fun is her main goal for the next few weeks!

She comes from Eastern Europe and while her English is very good there is still some accent left, revealing her origins.

Truth is her job never took her to any Arabic country and she always dreamed to take a photo of her dancing on the dunes.

Face Claim:Maria Sokolova

[Giantmutantcrab]

Name: Khalil Ag El Mokhtar
Gender: Male
Age: 35
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Personality: Open and outgoing, Khalil doesn't need much to become someone’s friend. He has an easy laugh and a smile that can light up a room. He offers trust to nearly everyone he meets; those who do not deserve his trust usually make it known fairly quickly. He prefers a painful truth to a gentle lie.

Eyes: Dark brown
Height: 5’11”
Body Build:

Something like this

Additional Physical Notes: None

History: Khalil was born and raised in a Touareg clan, the El Mokhtar tribe. This particular clan followed a very strict way of life that did not suit Khalil’s energy or curiosity. As soon as he was of age he left the desert and became a world traveler and explorer. He is a certified mountain guide, SCUBA  diver and helicopter pilot, among other things. He has worked closely with several archaeologists of renown and has been privy to some of the most important historical discoveries of the last decades.

His attention has recently turned inward, as he came to the spiritual realisation that people are so much more important than the locales he visits and the objects discovered therein. For each historical site uncovered, for each ancient artifact unearthed, there are a hundred thousand stories of everyday people living nearby that are just as fascinating. This newfound interest for people has brought him to visit other areas of the world, discovering vast riches of teeming humanity.

Khalil speaks four languages fluently and can get by in a half-dozen more. He will often help local people while he is on an archeological site, getting to know the locals and their history a little better. He will not think twice about talking a sizable portion of his earnings to buy supplies for those same locals. A lifelong martial arts enthusiast, he enjoys offering free self-defense lessons to communities, especially those who are very far from any major metropolitan areas. Khalil sees himself as being incredibly lucky and only wishes to share of that good fortune with others. He loves listening to other people speak of things that truly interest them, regardless of how strange or uncommon that interest may be. After all, everyone is a little weird, each in their own way!

Face Claim: Vidyut Jamwal

[Endogenesis]

Name:  Laila Røed.
Gender: Female.
Age:  34
Sexuality:  Aromantic, straight.
Personality: Laila is a straight shooter, she'd not sugarcoat anything, which can be somewhat grating at times. She seems somewhat oblivious to the fact others dislike her straightforwards personality.  Not without virtues though, she is loyal to anyone she calls a friend, and dependable at all times.

Eyes: Blue.
Height: 5ft6
Body Build: Chubby.
Additional Physical Notes: Laila has short red hair that looks almost brown when she is inside or in poorly lit areas.  She is moderately attractive, but seems unable to flirt with any conviction with anyone.  Her best quality might be her husky voice, it is softer than the norm, and usually even her harsh words can sound good.

History:  Having been brought up in Scandinavia Laila spent her formative years focusing on school for the most part, doing well enough that she got into the University of her choice, she studied to become a doctor, after completing her degree she worked a few years as a GP before quitting, citing personal issues.  No one has been told just why she left this job, and she moved to a different town.

Having taken on odd jobs here and there in the aftermath of leaving her job, she is clearly an unhappy woman.  Her life mundane and dare one say lonely, she has longed for something -anything- to break her out of the rut.  Pooling up enough money, she decided to travel someplace random, seeking a new beginning....or perhaps an end.

Face Claim: Ida Maria.

[Courtney]

Name: Rebecca (Becky) Jordyn
Gender: Transgendered
Age: 34
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: Becky is a sly and dominant force of nature. While not evil per se, she knows what she wants and how to get it.

Eyes: Blue
Height: 6'2"
Body Build: Muscular
Additional Physical Notes: Becky has Medium length brunette has that is often pulled back into a ponytail. Though she has DD breasts, her muscular build makes them seem deceptively smaller. She is not a fully transitioned female, and is still sporting her male genitalia.

Despite having been born a male, you would never know it to hear her speak. Her voice sounds very feminine, easily falling within the range of a natural alto. While the very few who have come to know her intimately share wild conspiracy theories of nanotech or highly advanced stem-cell treatment being responsible, she has been heard bragging about the years and countless hours training her voice, and studying female intonations.

She has a few elaborate tattoos on her back. The most prominent of these is of a stiletto high heel leading up to a calf adorned in fishnet stockings, which runs up from the small of her back, all the way up to her bra line and along her spine.

History: Not much is known about Becky's history, and she's cleverly evasive when pressed on it. By all appearances she is well off, but it's believed she's being financed, and is not independently wealthy herself. Rumors have swirled that her financing is from some shadow organization who's agenda is unknown at this time.

Mostly the organization she works for uses her as a recruiter, seeking out the wealthy from all walks of life to either bring into the fold as full members, or seek their financing in exchange for "benefits" that the organization provides. Despite encouragement from her superiors, she never uses blackmail or extortion, and in fact finds those tactics to be unchallenging and risky.

Face Claim: Victoria Tignor

[Loiosh]

Name:  Ryo Kang-Dae
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Sexuality: Homosexual 
Personality:  Ryo is precise and orderly, at least in his intentions.  When flustered he becomes a bit clumsy.  He is funny in a deadpan way that makes you think he’s not always in on the joke.  Extremely intelligent in a book-smarts type of way but not very worldly.  He is not assertive and will generally go along to get along.  There is, however, a core of strength in him that will hold the line against all comers when push comes to shove. 

He is unfailingly polite even in the face of provocation and prefers non-violent resolutions to problems.  He is reserved with strangers but warm, loyal and giving with his inner circle of friends.

He is still coming to terms with his sexuality, even now.  He did not come out to his family until just five or six months ago although he lived as an openly gay man in Los Angelos for several years.  He felt extremely guilty about deceiving his father and walking away from his responsibilities but his boyfriend's death and father's reaction to the truth of their relationship largely extinguished that.

People that knew him before the accident would say he has gotten quieter and more closed in on himself, but that there are still flashes of the old Ryo.  He has, however, finally reached a point in the grieving process where he is allowing himself to feel loneliness and to begin to seek out friendship again.  Not romance yet, but genuine human connection.

Body Build: Trim and athletic, but no overtly muscular
Additional Physical Notes: He has a small heart tattoo on his inner left arm with the initial GS and the date of Greg’s death.  Ryo speaks Korean and English with a slight accent but is fully conversant with idiomatic usage.

History:  Ryo is the eldest son of a prestigious South Korean magnate and eventual heir to the family fortune and business empire.   Driven from a very young age to excel in academics Ryo was given all the best tutors and resources that money could buy while his father Pyon did his best to keep Ryo isolated from “bad influences.”

When he turned eighteen he journeyed to the United States to pursue a degree in Finance at UCLA and perfect his English.  For the first time he was away from his father’s dominion and slowly began to discover he had his own interests and desires.  One of those hidden desires erupted into his life one New Years day when Greg Simons, a young blonde freshman with a swimmer’s body and his best friend in the States, drunkenly kissed him as they watched the ball drop in New York on the television in the dormitory lounge.

One thing led to another and within a year the two had an apartment off campus, living happily together.  On the rare occasions Ryo’s family came to visit Greg would make himself scarce, albeit under protest.  Greg felt that Ryo should come out to his father and take the consequences one way or the other.  Ryo refused, so the family thought Greg was simply a friend.

Things came to a head when Pyon informed his son that his marriage had been arranged with Yi Soo-Hyun, the daughter of one of his colleagues and rivals to cement a merger between their two companies.  Ryo would return to South Korea and begin his tenure as a junior executive on the fast track to CEO.
Greg and Ryo had a huge fight that evening.  Greg drunkenly demanded that Ryo refuse and finally come clean with his father or he was leaving.  Ryo begged him not to go but could not bring himself to come out to his father.  Trapped in his indecision he watched Greg storm out of the apartment, angrily grabbing his keys.  It was the last time he saw his love’s face.

The next day the police came and told him about the accident and questioned him about the events of the evening.  And that was that.  As “just a friend” he sat in the back row of the funeral, tears streaming.  He made a promise then and there, begging forgiveness.  A few hours later he hung up on his screaming father, numb to his rage and imprecations.  Numb to everything.  He looked around their… his apartment.  He couldn’t do it anymore.  He had to leave.

His eyes lit on a stack of travel brochures on the end table by Greg’s favorite chair.  They had always daydreamed about the places they would go after graduation; the Mediterranean, the Far East, Africa.  Maybe that would provide the anodyne he needed.  There was enough money in his account to support him for a bit, if he was smart.  He’d have to withdraw it immediately, before his father had his assets frozen.  It didn’t matter.  He couldn’t stay here anymore.  He couldn’t stay anywhere.

For five or six months Ryo travelled around, hitchhiking, backpacking and even working as a waiter on a cruise ship at one point.  The searing pain of Greg’s absence was beginning to fade into a dull ache that just followed him around every day like a mangey dog.   His money was starting to run low but he could not bring himself to go back to his family.  That chapter was closed.  He’d have to get a job.   Settle down.  Learn how to live as a responsible human being again.

He decided to have one last fling with his remaining cash before working his way back home to Los Angelos to restart his life.    He had heard about the this new resort opening up back east, far and away from everything out in the Sahara.   They said wisdom came from the desert, didn’t they?

Maybe that was what he needed.

[forestfire]

Name: Felix Vernick
Gender: Trans man
Age: 24 years old
Sexuality: Attracted to men, but doesn't get a lot of action due to him transitioning
Personality: Felix is afraid of conflict, has trouble opening up to people, and he trusts authorities. He doesn't like it when people touch him. Sometimes, he gets lost in his head because he's thinking too much about how he appears to others. He is deeply insecure about his gender expression, but won't stay closeted anymore.

Appearance: Felix is 5'6 with brown hair, brown skin, and brown eyes. He once read on an online forum for trans men that he has to bulk up in order to pass. So he did. Now he looks like a short, stocky man with a 12-year-old's face. The hormones have yet to work their magic on his pudgy, feminine cheeks. His hair is dark and floppy and parted to the left with more length on the top of his head. He has tan skin, thin eyebrows, and big bright brown eyes. His nose is long and straight and possibly the most masculine thing about him pre-T. His lips, however... They are plump and womanly. He hates looking in the mirror, stuck between two genders. He is 10 months on hormones.

History: His parents kicked him out when he came out as trans. That sucked. So he wanted to get far away from home and he had read about Caravansarie online and wanted to give it a shot. What's the worst that can happen, right?

[Strega]

Name: Rafaela Camerino
Gender: Female
Age: 43
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Personality: She used to be a high spirited person. Now she appears distant, making people avoiding her without giving her a chance. Most of the time she seems like staring at something invisible to others.

Eyes: Green
Height: 5’4”
Body Build: Curvy
Additional Physical Notes: None

History: Rafaela lives in Milan, Italy. Her roots are originally humble, growing up in the Italian countryside and without any particular enthusiasm in school and studies. Her only passion, which she discovered at the sweet age of 7 was singing after witnessing the show of a wandering musician, with the most mellow of voices and his guitar adorned with ribbons. Her passion for singing and her raw talent soon spread throughout her village as she took part in feasts and local events and at the age of 16 she moved to Rome with her first love of her life and her first husband, who was bewitched by her singing.

His wealth was the ticket for Rafaela to seek music studies. Opera dazzled her, traversed her to unexpected places, to the deepest of emotions. She ended up being one of the most famous sopranos, with a worldwide career but after a serious throat inflammation 7 years ago, she had to undergo an operation which dramatically altered her voice and made it impossible for her to sing again the same way.

After that day, life was drained out of her and she now desperately seeks a means to find pleasure or some kind of meaning again in her life. She is currently single, after 3 disastrous marriages.

[Ciosa]

Name: Sebastian Wells
Gender: Male
Age: About two weeks shy of 21.
Sexuality: Untapped.
Personality: A conman’s perfect mark - trusting, compassionate, and in many things naive.  Sebastian is reserved, and quiet, but both his quiet and his kindness hide a remarkably sharp intellect.

Eye Color: Green.  Hints of blue.
Height:Five ten, Sebastian towers over no one.
Body Build: Slender.  He’s not overwhelmingly muscular - he keeps fit by jogging and the occasional bit of yoga, but mostly he stays skinny by always being studying or hard at work and forgetting to eat.
Additional Physical Notes: Faint scars from earrings, though the holes are closed as he’s apparently decided against having earrings.

History: Sebastian is blessed with the kind of intelligence that would have had him graduating Harvard or John Hopkins’s pre-med program by twenty and in a prestigious surgical program by twenty two - but lackluster public education and meant that he graduated high school at sixteen, and a hospice care program at eighteen.  His family needed an income, and couldn’t afford a lengthy or prestigious program.

Sebastian’s life was turned inside down by his third hospice patient in his first year - he was actually just a substitute for the regular hospice nurse, but Edgar Horton took a liking to ‘the blonde idiot’ and had him moved to his full time caretaker.  Edgar liked to argue; and while he didn’t necessarily like to demean, it came naturally to him.  He spent a year with a man who expected to die in a matter of days - and cared for him through the last seizures of brain cancer that left him incontinent, drooling, paralyzed.  Sebastian has never really thought they had gotten along - he remembered arguing with Edgar more than moments of real connection, but Edgar had made Sebastian executor of his will, and heir to the largest part of his estate.

Sebastian’s first few months have been humiliating - and harrowing.  He’s taken a reprieve from what seems like an endless series of litigations and atonements for Edgar’s misdeeds, to deliver something to one of the owners of the Caravanserai, in hopes he might be able to steal a day or two of relaxation before returning to the real world and the curious hand fate has dealt him.

Name: Benjamin Taylor
Gender: Male
Age: Thirty
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: Confident but cautious, keeping people at arm's length until he can surmise what they are about. Needless to say he has trust issues, once bitten twice shy.

Eyes: Blue/green
Height: 5’11
Body Build: Muscular and well toned but not buff to the physique of a body builder.
Additional Physical Notes: Benjamin is long sighted and predominantly wears contact glasses but will switch to glasses on occasion.

History:

“He now felt glad at having suffered sorrow and trouble, because it enabled him to enjoy so much better all the pleasure and happiness around him.” - Hans Christian Andersen

Benjamin might be considered ‘hot’ by most people's standards but this has not always been the case. Ben, which is the name he prefers to be know by, was a late bloomer, during his years at high school he was the slightly overweight kid who tried his best to blend into the background. This worked for the most part until his senior year when he unwittingly became the ‘whipping boy’ simply by choosing to become a tutor. Benjamin had simply wanted to bulk out his college applications, he'd never imagined that he would be paired with a star athlete or that they would get entangled in a short romantic relationship. Benjamin had known he was attracted to both men and women from a relatively young age, something he was completely at ease with and although he never hid his sexuality it was not flaunted. Jake on the other hand had a crisis of identity and put the blame of ‘liking dudes’ fully on Benjamin's shoulders. Senior year was a nightmare and although the ripples of that time still reach until this day it is a part of his life he prefers to try to forget.

It was at college that Benjamin shed the weight and gained the physique that he now maintains. This is done through a variety of exercise but he particularly enjoys running, swimming and doing yoga.

At college Benjamin majored in English literature and is now a librarian in the small coastal town he now calls home. At weekends he moonlights as a deejay. Life is balanced or is it? Something feels missing but Benjamin can't quite place his finger on it.

Face Claim: Riley Reid

[lustfulintentions]

Name: Shawn Collins
Gender: Male
Age: 43
Sexuality: Straight
Personality: Befitting his academic leanings, Shawn is a bit introverted, especially in public settings/larger groups. He functions better in private/1-on-1 conversations, and truly opens up in those settings. He likes to think of himself as thoughtful and a good listener, though he sometimes sees things in a little too much black and white. He enjoys a good bit of banter, and while serious about his work, knows the importance of unplugging.

Eyes: Hazel
Height: 6'1"
Body Build: Lean, the body of a former athlete who does his best, but has age catching up a bit
Additional Physical Notes: N/A

History: Shawn grew up in a very middle class, very average family up the coast in Oregon. His family was as standard as they come: dad was a supervisor at a mid-sized accounting firm, his mother was a school teacher, and his sister, two years his senior, was a mid-level collegiate swimmer who became a chemist and moved east.

For his part, Shawn had a pretty straight-edge upbringing, generally excelling in school, running track in high school and playing some club-level lacrosse at Oregon State, where he also moonlighted on the college paper while working on his degree in sociology.

It was his Master’s thesis that first brought him to Pleasant Beach, a nudist community in California. He’d read about the place in an academic journal while searching for a thesis topic, and decided it was worth a visit. So he set out as a 24 year-old grad student, spending most of a semester interviewing and observing (and eventually, slipping into a bit of activity himself) for his thesis “Sexuality and Norms: How Community Acceptance Reduces Sexual Barriers”. The work turned out to be both broadly engaging within the sociological community and deeply engaging when optioned for a book for a broader audience. The book never found the audience he’d hoped for, but publishing at such a young age opened up a world of possibilities for Shawn, and he spent a good part of the next decade traveling, guest teaching and lecturing while searching for his next great study/book opportunity. But, he never forgot about Pleasant Beach, finally returning to the place permanently at the age of 36.  After 7 years in his adopted home, he determined that he needed a change of scenery, or he'd be staring another failed manuscript in the face. And so, he opted for the refuge of struggling authors everywhere-traveling literally anywhere else in the world where he could make his brain see new things.

History: This section is hard to talk about. Not because of any trauma like childhood parents and alleyways full of loose pearls, the kind of thing that sends a person into this kind of work but because Rachel has never given a definitive answer to the question. It changes from person to person, never the same twice, and usually just the plot of a popular television show. What is known: she drives a vintage 1968 Shelby GT500KR, full restored and customized by herself. She is VERY comfortable around firearms and explosives, usually has a few strapped to her person. Is so skilled at hunting preternatural baddies, they have nicknamed her ‘Red Death’, after the short story and her flaming red head of hair. She also never, ever shuts up

[Voxy Vae]

Name: Merit Santos
Gender: Female
Age: 28
Sexuality: Hetero-flexible
Personality:
A free spirit, Merit loves people and yet has never fully allowed herself to love anyone.  Due primarily to deep seeded fears of emotional intimacy and abandonment.  In spite of these relationship blockers she is friendly and relatively well adjusted.  She has a kind heart and has never expected much out of people thus rarely holds a grudge when things don't work out.  She has several ex boyfriends and one ex girlfriend that she still maintains friendly contact with.  She has never said the L word and most breakups happen shortly after her partner uttering it.  It's like a magic word that sends Merit running every time.

She adores kids.  Not babies so much and never wants one of her own but she loves children and can spend hours upon patient hours playing with or instructing them.  Her favorite types of customers are families with kids something most other charter boat captains avoid given the choice.  Merit is incredibly self-reliant not out of some high moral standard or code but out of experience and necessity.  She's comfortable doing things for herself and others doing something for her is a strange mix of turn on and turn off that sways from one side to the other based primarily on the level of trust she has for someone.  Something that isn't readily given in spite of her friendly nature.

Although she works in a male dominated field and has a few hard edges Merit is typically sensual and soft romantically.  She likes touching and kissing and is an incredibly giving lover.  She fluctuates in her preference between men and women and is currently mid flux.

Eyes: Dark Brown
Height: 5’ 11”
Body Build: Lean and Athletic
Additional Physical Notes:
Physically strong and naturally athletic Merit Santos is a tall lean woman of American and Cuban descent.  She has warm brown skin and an athletic build that while slightly boyish, still retains pleasantly subtle curves.  Her hair is long black and silky in appearance even when twisted and curled by the sea winds.  She has full lips and well defined, slightly masculine cheek bones.  Her dark brown eyes appear almost black at night and have hints of gold in the sunlight.  They are large, carry a hint of wicked mischief and almost always smile even if that smile never fully reaches her lips.  When attempting not to show her amusement a single eyebrow raises up ever so slightly betraying her true feelings without fail.

Merit has a few work related scars.  Small nicks and cuts on her hands that are mostly unnoticeable.  The exception to this is the tip of her left middle finger that was once cut to the bone and now sports a long thin line where the mostly numb digit eventually healed. She has three modest tattoos, a small faded sailboat on her right ankle, a series of small stars that start well inside her right hip bone and disappear under her bikini line, and a gypsy moth hidden at the base of her neck visible only when her hair is pulled up.

History:
Born in international waters off of the coast of Florida Merit had an unsteady yet not entirely bad upbringing.  Raised early on by a single mom with mental health issues.  Merit was in and out of foster homes living in dozens of different places before the age of 10.  It was at this time that her mothers tragic suicide left her in the care of aging grandparents that she hadn't known prior to her mothers death.  Although her grandparents provided her with ample opportunity to do the things other children did, like dance and playing youth sports they were never the loving or nurturing sort.  In many ways this was a freeing experience allowing Merit to perform these activities out of the pure joy of them not as a way of pleasing someone else.  Of all of her youth activities swimming and diving were her favorites and the two that she excelled at.

A good but not exceptional high school student Merit joined the coast guard at the age of 18, shortly after her grandmother passed away.  She did an 6 year tour where in she eventually came to work with search and rescue and then exited the service with a clean record and love for the open water.  For a few years after that Merit attended school in Miami and picked up random work on area charter boats until the death of her grandfather left her with enough inheritance money to buy a boat of her own that she dubbed the Wayward Star.  Since then she has been running her own charter business operating primarily now in the Hawaiian Islands and occasionally along the western seaboard.  Although relatively young she is a knowledgeable and experienced Captain and Fisherman.

Additional Physical Notes: Has a small tattoo on her right shoulder of a rather bland white flower. It is naturally the flower from the cocoa tree.

History: Growing up she had it pretty good, her parents both successful doctors lavished her with love and support. Sure they where not home all that much, but they always made up for it when they where. As she got older her parents hinted that “you know being a doctor is a good job” but she had seen how much hard work it is and politely let them know that it might not be for her. After a few years of soul searching she decided to follow her dream, and with some (ok a lot) of financial help from her parents she managed to open up her own chocolatier. And at first it was touch and go but soon she managed to turn a profit, and while the hours where often just as long as her parents if not longer she wouldn't have any other job. The only thing missing is someone to share her life with.

[LimitlessNikkie]

Name: Zahra silver
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Sexuality: bisexual
Personality: Spontaneous some would call her, others flighty, though mercurial would probably be more accurate. Zahra is the type to get caught up in something or someone so much so, to the exclusion of everything else, only to lose interest just as quickly. Relationships tend to be hot and fast, only to burn out quickly. An artist through and through Zahra feels everything very intensely but rather then being sensitive she tends towards anger. That being said shes extremely introspective and thoughfully empathetic once the anger fades.  She's adventurous and outgoing, confident, fearlessly going after the things she desires. She sexy, crude, vulgar even at times. No sweet little girl here. The type who would feel more at home in a biker bar then a five star restaurant.

Eyes: Blue
Height: 5'5
Body Build: slender, willowy
Additional Physical Notes:

History: Born to a mother suffering from severe depression and a missing father, Zahra struggled growing up forming good relationships with anyone. She was often left alone for long stretches of time, listening to her mother cry, blaming her for ever ill in her life. Zahra was often neglected. She struggled a great deal as a youth but was saved from the toxic environment when her father emerged and took her into his, life folding her into his new family at 14. For four years she lived in a real family but she always just felt like she didn't fit. As a result she often struggled with her identity finally finding a home with the familiar depressed personalities of the gothic counter culture. This was also when she found her voice, writing and singing her own music. Finally she was talking about her feeling  even if only in the abstract.
At 18 she went to university, majoring in music. She did alright in class but found her focus often pulled by various lovers or assosiated drama. It was only by her father's force of will that she graduated, dreams of being a rock star dancing in her pretty little head. Zahra did end up going into music, garnering a small following in the alternative rock music world she pursued. The rage, pain and anger in her music an outlet for the tormented little girl that still lived and breathed within her.
While being with her father and college as well as her music did a lot to heal the scars of Zahra's past it was not a cure all. She made friends but every relationship she got in to tended to end up the same way. Either she got bored or they simply couldn't keep up with her ever shifting temperment. She was hard to deal with, she knew it, but she still though she was worth of love.

Sexuality: "Should I be flattered or amused that you asked?" (He enjoys the company of men the most, but he and his player are open to writing intimate scenes with characters of other body types. Know, though, that romance is more a game to him, especially if it's not with another man.)
Personality: The ape, as he so fondly calls himself--usually internally--has about as much humor as he has brawn. That is to say, don't expect much seriousness to pass between his lips, especially now that he can take off that particular mask, for however little he wore it in the first place. He's a simple man who enjoys idle chit-chat as much as his all-time favorite pastime: people-watching. He also may or may not be prone to telling lies to strangers. It's enjoyable to him to see how much he can get away with. A keener perception that spends enough time with him might say his attitude stems from other reasons.

He's a cynic who is more responsible on the job than in his personal life, where he often has few qualms with stirring the plot, so to speak.

Eyes: Hazel
Height: 6'2"
Body Build: A tall, wide frame with thick slabs of muscle from neck to calves.
Additional Physical Notes: For one, there's the tattoo sleeve that begins just above his right wrist and overflows onto the neighboring pec. No, it's not the only one, but he makes a point of having them only in places that a long-sleeved button-up can cover, when needed; nothing on the hands or neck.

History: From as early as he can remember, Brad's parents consisted of a dead man and a depressed woman. His dad's death was one born of stupidity, although his mom and paternal grandparents hid the truth from him for a while. They told him stories, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't feel for a man he never met. His mom tried her best to raise him, he guessed, at least after she finally got the psychiatric help she needed.

Early in his schooling, he befriended a boy, Adam. They became two peas in a pod, thick as thieves, insert preferred cliche here. It was especially great because it gave him an excuse to get away from his own family. Adam's was better.

Cue the turbulent teens. Brad had his fair share of mischief, drama, and edumacation, and then some: leave no stone unturned, live life with no regrets, that whole outlook that led him to being braver than most meatheads in the early 2000s, even in California. His choices didn't come without consequences, one that awarded him with a lifetime supply of regret. Ah, but that was a secret he would take with him to the grave.

One other thing came out of that particular incident: it gave him a sense of direction after high school graduation. He became a police officer with the naive idea that he would make a difference. That didn't happen. Brad stuck with it until he was twenty-four, when the disenfranchisement finally set in and he decided to try his hand at security. Eventually, he wormed his way into the lives of America's heartthrob celebrities, building a sturdy network of clients.

But that's not the reason why he's here, nor does he plan on disclosing his real occupation to anyone for as long as he can get by with it. It's been at least a decade since he had an honest vacation, so here he is.

Name: Geronimo Zapata
Gender: Male
Age: 55
Sexuality: Pansexual, hedonistic
Personality: Even in his native country, the island of Ceiba, Geronimo Zapata VIII, was more than a bit of trouble. Always obsessed with satisfying the senses, especially that of touch and taste.

Enthusiastic to the point of belligerence, lazy to the point of Buddhism, Geronimo Zapata is the epitome of a Gemini Rooster. Equally comfortable shooting at lamppost or smoke a pipe on a Malecon Veranda, it is no wonder he was exiled under mysterious circumstances under the regime of Generalissimo Anejo.

Eyes: Grey
Height: 6'0
Body Build: Vast and Rotund
Additional Physical Notes: Geronimo Zapata VIII, is an immensely powerful who would seem absolutely unappealing on physical notes alone. He appear a brusk ape with reading glasses and a cigar, with a strangely smooth main of salt and pepper hair rare for his people. But the moment Maestro Zapata opens his mouth everything changes. For the better or worse is up to him.

History: Barely hanging on to his tenured position of History and Anthropology at La Universidad Autonoma de San Judas on the island of Ceiba, Geronimo Zapata, the eighth heir to Hacienda Zapata in the Madison Mountains of Quimbombo Province, exiled himself once Carnival was declared year round to boost tourism for the fledgling tourist island nation. Zapata El Octavo never believed in forced pleasures, unless there was a safety word.

A writer, professor, fierce coffeehouse intellectual, failed political figure, and open and obvious sexual deviant, Geronimo allows no one to get in the way of the next satisfation.

From then on, his childhood was pretty much normal as again, it was as simple and average as anyone else's life growing up.

A whole two weeks later, she was out and back to her natural self though took it a bit slow this time around. Christian stayed with her, while his father worked, and helped her around the house until she gotten better and did not need him anymore.

It was then when he decided that he needed to get away, an escape and be around a paradise like environment, even if it was in the desert. He still had hoped to have a good time there anyway.

And if she met some friends and had a fun moment or two? Oh, well, that would make for an even better story!

Nicolás comes from a large family and the kitchen was the heart of the home. The fondest memories of childhood pivot around his Abuelita and the time they would spend together preparing meals. It is from this woman, small in stature but with a large, loving heart that Nicolás got his passion for cooking. The family whilst encouraging his interest for food also prompted Nicolás to focus on education as they did not think cooking could ever be a career. They viewed it more  as a hobby, albeit a tasty and useful one to have. Nicolás gave both avenues equal attention as he considered it two halves of the same whole, after all a great dish was the delicate balance of all its ingredients.

Nicolás went to culinary school whilst holding down a job at down at a notable restaurant. He worked his way from the low position of busboy into the kitchen, by the time the of his graduation he had risen to sous chef. Confident that he could run a kitchen of his own Nicolás opened up a small bistro of his own. This is where he learned the harsh truth that running a business entailed more than incredible food from a well oiled culinary machine and it folded. Pride dented and licking his wounds Nicolás accepted the job at the new resort of Caravanserai.

She wants to believe in the best of people, but she's well aware that everyone has some bad traits. If she has a strong opinion about something, she will share it.

[Lovely Complex]

Name: Sean Adams
Gender: Male
Age: Twenty-eight
Position: Front Desk Attendant
Sexuality: Homosexual ^__ Sorry, ladies.
Personality: Sean is a charming fellow, which is probably how he got his staff position. He literally lights up any room that he comes into and flashes that award-winning smile of his constantly, it seems. Many people tend to gravitate towards him because he is so charismatic and fills people up with laughter whenever he can. He's also friendly towards anyone that he encounters, always accepting of new people, no matter what. The only flaw he might possibility have is that he's sensitive as other people's words and sometimes actions to get to him very easily.

Eyes: Ocean Blue
Height: 6'2
Body Build: Well toned, athletic and muscular.


History: Growing up, Sean did not exactly have too much. If you could believe that or not. Him and his family did whatever they could just to make ends meet and it worked out pretty well in their favor quite often. He has learned how to sacrifice much more than anything else growing up but it did not stop him from living his life. He's the only child of his parents so he was very much alone half of the time but when he did make friends, his life became a bit more clearer. Sean was opened up to some new experiences in his life and there was one event that he'll never forget. A boy kissed his lips and from that moment, he was hooked on boys. Yeah. that's not how it usually happens but that's how it happened for Sean.

He had graduated from all of his school grade levels with straight A's and was second in his class. He would've been first but one of his A's was a 90. Sean ventured off to college and only stayed a semester, where he majored in Communications. College did not really appeal to him like he thought it would but he did have a really good time there. From there, he worked in various offices as a receptionist and bookkeeper but heard that a hotel in the desert was looking for a front desk attendant so he applied for that.

Within a day or two, he had heard back that he had gotten the job. Based off of his resume alone. Sean mentioned it to his parents, who were proud of him but his friends did not take the news really well and practically unfriended him from their lives. Sean did not have any regrets as he was making a business decision for himself and no one else. He could not let an opportunity like this slip away. Sean arrived at Caravansarai a week later and they offered him a really good discounted rate to stay there for the job.

He did almost get fired his first day though for flirting with a waiter there but that's in the past now and everything's good again.

He can be a little bit cocky at times, and self-centered too, which mixed with his freedom-seeking spirit, can complicate things for him at the time of finding a partner.

[Dominique]

Name: Chloe Foster
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Position: Masseuse / Henna artist
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: Chloe had the revelation of ‘this is not what I want to do with my life’ quite early on. She made the drastic switch from yuppie to carefree spirit who is still somewhat in the process of learning to enjoy life. She made the consicous decision to start living in the here and nowt rather than worry about career, money and materialistic wealth, and while she hasn’t turned into a complete hippy, she’s definitely learned to relax, to enjoy life and to meet new people. She’s always been good with people, but approaching them used to be done with a purpose. Now, Chloe finds that she really enjoys meeting new people, learning about their backgrounds and yes, a bit of flirting, too. She’s outgoing, friendly and always up for a good dare. She enjoys hanging out by the pool in her free time but is up for most anything. 

Eyes: Brown
Height: 5'7”
Body Build: Slender
Additional Physical Notes: She usually carries intricate Henna patterns on her hands and arms.

History: Although Chloe’s mother has Middle Eastern roots, her father is a proper Brit. Her grandparents moved to the United Kingdom when their children were young, and Chloe has grown up in London for most of her life. Her childhood was carefree and without any terrible traumas. In fact, everything went rather smoothly; she was an intelligent, ambitious young student. Maybe a little too ambitious, and once she graduated high school, then Uni, she went to work in her father’s business.

Having to prove herself for being the CEO’s daughter as well as a young woman, she worked twice, no, thrice as hard to climb the career ladder and prove her worth. It paid off, but once she got where she wanted to be - or somewhere close, anyway - Chloe found herself frustratingly lacking in enthusiasm. She got short-tempered, anxious, constantly tired, and generally unhappy with life. But it wasn’t until her then-boyfriend left that she realised she needed to flip the switch. And she did so, drastically.

Quitting her job (‘It’s a sabbatical dad, just an indefinite one’) Chloe decided to use the cash she’d saved but never spent to go travelling. She explored the Middle East for some time but eventually ventured into Africa, where she ultimately discovered the Caravanserai. She was looking for a temporary job, but hasn’t found the will to leave yet.

Honest, positive, and diligent, he's the type that leads by example. Typically taking things upon himself rather than asking someone else to do it for him. His compassion shouldn't be mistaken for weakness. Leon is more than capable of standing his ground, and at his most poised when a challenge is placed in front of him. He's not the type to sit back and watch, he takes initiative. Though understanding people around him, typically proves tougher than jumping into a burning building.
Eyes: Bright Blue
Height: 6'1"
Body Build: Lean and athletic
Additional Physical Notes: Tattoo on his left arm of his guardian angel

History: Leon was orphaned following a tragic car accident that took his mother and siblings away in a single night. His dad had never been around, and thus he was passed around from foster home to foster home. Surprisingly when he was twelve he was taken in by Vienna Araceli. A prominent business woman, who would grow found of the young man and adopt him a couple of years later. Leon would be taught poise and leadership by his mother, and upon graduating high school would serve four years overseas in the military. Once his tour of duty was complete he returned to Boston and took a role as the head of security for his mother's company. Aiming to be of use to his mother, he'd put the skills he learned in the military to good use.

On his free time he also serves a volunteer fire-fighter, letting his private job serve to pay the bills while he continued to give back to the community. Leon felt that he was helped greatly when others might have cast him away and let him drift alone and aimless. So he's made it a goal of his to give back and help others as much as possible. If that means volunteering as a fire-fighter, or at a shelter, he does what he can. Determined to be a force of good in the world.

Pelin has a stoic indifference to things that would devastate lesser women. It hasn't made her mean or indifferent but it has made crafted an iron core to her soul to survive and to better her life. Pelin views her position with the Caravanserai as a gift and a great boon and works to make sure it cannot be taken away from her.

Body Build: Thin
Additional Physical Notes: Pelin is undernourished from her journey and the last two years of her life but is slowly putting healthy weight back on. She has moderate to extensive scarring across her back from her captivity but it's never seen as she is never in anything immodest enough to reveal it. She habitually wears a head scarf or hijab but if required by her current duty she will leave it off without worry or complaint.

History: When she was only fourteen ISIS swept into her world and destroyed it.  For several years she was held in captivity by them, a not uncommon fate for young Yazidi Kurdish girls, and married off to a string of ISIS fighters in unions that lasted until they were killed and she was married off again.  A diminished ISIS capacity saw her and many other girls abandoned as ISIS retreated. For almost two years she lived in a series of refugee camps across Iraq, Jordan, and Syria. Pelin was part of a group that attempted to migrate to Greece in a dangerously overloaded fishing boat.  Somewhere in mid-journey the boat broke down and they drifted for weeks until fetching up on the Libyan coast.  For another year she walked, hitched rides, and occasionally traveled by camel and donkey across Africa until she ended up in another refugee camp. One of the aid workers there arranged an interview for her with the Caravanserai and she's recently been hired. Pelin knows this is her best chance at a stable life and is determined to hold onto it.

Face Claim: Tuba Büyüküstün

[RedPhoenix]

Name: Siddhi Sachdev
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Position: Veterinarian
Sexuality: Demisexual Lesbian

Personality:
Siddhi is quiet, but neither shy nor demure, she simply doesn't care much for speaking or hearing her own voice. She prefers to be with animals or the wilderness, and seems to 'get' wildlife more than she does people, and vice versa. She can strike people as rude or unhelpful, but will often do what people ask of her quickly and effectively, as most staff of Caravanserai know. She just won't make small talk as she does it.

Siddhi makes friends very slowly, but cherishes the friendships she has - she just isn't very good at showing it. While she is content with her animals, she often wishes she could enjoy people the way most people seem to. Siddhi hates talking about herself, her feelings, or really anything to do with Siddhi. She tends to withdraw quickly from conversations on this subject.

She is able to express herself quite eloquently in the written word, and is surprisingly skilled at navigating bureaucracies, though she has only shown it in dealing with getting funds or treatment for her animals from the Global Wildlife Fund. She also keeps in contact with wildlife shelters in the nearest large cities both north and south of the Sahara, speaking almost purely in text.

Eyes: Blue
Height: 5'9"
Body Build: Athletic

Additional Physical Notes:
Siddhi has a very ripped body. She eats only natural foods and does a lot of very hard physical work for her job. Her hair is almost always in tight braids. She wears fairly lackluster clothing, functional and practical, most of it is stained or patched from her work.

History:
Born in rural Pakistan, Siddhi's family emigrated to the United Kingdom when she was six. Previously living a very simple life as pastoral herders, when a disease killed the family's flock Siddhi's father decided it was a sign from Allah, and moved his family to the United Kingdom, where a cousin of his had emigrated in previous years and was doing quite well. Siddhi's family did not take the culture shock as well. Her father reverted to an abusive deadbeat, her mother to an equally abusive enabler. Siddhi and her brothers (she has no sisters) ran away quite a lot and ended up in state care.

Siddhi kept her head down and didn't make trouble, and ended up with a scholarship to a trade school to learn to be a vet. She took to it naturally, having always had an affinity with animals and spending most of her after school hours volunteering at shelters.

Her current job with the GWF was mostly by chance. They needed a vet who spoke Punjabi and English fluently for a job in a remote area of India, and she was quickly accepted after she applied. She did an exceptional job and never complained once despite the grueling conditions. They offered her a new placement in Tunisia, which she also accepted. While there she learned of the Caravanserai and its advanced facilities. There was an opening for an on-staff vet, and she put in for a grant for the GWF to made the staff vet job a funded position in exchange for the hotel letting its animal shelters being converted into a rescue facility. Siddhi has been very happy there ever since, taking care of the hotel's camels, guests's pets that go ill, and the occasional animal that is brought to them for rescue.

At first he turned the offer of employment down but the hectic grind of GSG 9 was started taking its toll and decided that being a well paid ‘babysitter’ was not such a bad idea after all.

Lucas enjoyed the slower pace and excelled but eventually parted ways with the security firm due to ‘a difference of opinion.’ Basically he was not prepared to be a see no evil, hear no evil monkey.

Uncertain what should be his next move Lucas finds himself at Caravanserai. Perhaps the tranquil surroundings will help him find it.

Name: Julie Lancaster
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Position: Animal Caretaker/ Veterinary Student
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: You can't say that Julie's had it rough in life, she's definitely had a more fortunate upbringing than most children can even dream of. That isn't to say that she didn't have to fight to get where she wanted to be. In fact, most of her teenage years have been spent swimming upstream, adjusting the course her parents had set for her. She's a strong-willed girl with a certain lack of girlishness and a no-nonse attitude. Julie isn't quite the tomboy but despite her natural appearance she will never be the embodiment of femininity either; not that she would want to. She's a confident girl who knows what she wants and will go through great lengths to accomplish the goals she's set for herself. She loves a laugh and naturally gravitates to people with strong personalities, a lot of confidence and a good sense of humour. Following that, she has trouble accepting that not everyone is a fighter and she can get rather impatient with people who give up too easily or are afraid to get out of their comfort zone.

Eyes: Blue
Height:  5'6"
Body Build: Slim, Athletic
Additional Physical Notes: Julie has a natural tan by grace of the amount of time she spends outside. A light amount of freckles peppers the area of her nose and cheek bones, and her face is usually set in a look of utter determination. In her line of work there is little room for fancy dress-up and she's used to wearing mostly sleeveless tops and cargo pants. She also tends to get dirty a lot, and you wouldn't easily find her without a number of bruises and barely healed gashes littering her skin.

History: Julianne Marie Lancaster was born the third and youngest child to George and Eloise Lancaster, with two older brothers (Christian and William). She lived her entire childhood on a large estate in the northern part of Britain, surrounded by a ridiculous amount of land. She was one of those children who not only had a dog (a black lab named Jinx) but a cat, a pet turtle, two ponies and a ferret as well. That didn't mean she was being spoiled rotten, but throughout her entire childhood toys, video games and clothes just never held the same allure as a new pet to care for did. So her birthday presents usually consisted of a new addition to her ever-expanding animal entourage, along with an assortment of dog pillows, food bowls and blankets and squeaky toys that managed to infest the house with increasing persistence. She was the girl who would bring home birds with broken wings or underfed street cats, even a mouse with a broken paw once. Much to her parents' horror, however, she would also be the one to insist to 'put a baby bird out of its misery' and, at a later age, to snap the neck of an injured duck who had no chance of survival. Even as a child Julie understood the laws of nature better than most adults, in all its beauty and apparent cruelty.

It was hardly a surprise that her ambitions were to become a veterinarian, even though her parents had never quite aimed so high for their youngest offspring. They came from a long line of wealth and old titles that in modern times were rapidly losing the value that they once had, but to which they clung with the desperation of one to whom appearances meant everything. George and Eloise Lancaster held a rather conservative outlook on life, and where their only daughter was concerned, they would much rather see her married off to a well-off young lad than to watch her grow independent and treat life as if she didn't need someone to look after her at all.

Still, they would have easily overlooked this minor flaw to Julie's ambitious personality, had she not proudly announced at the start of her study that her specialty would not be small animals, birds or anything cute and fluffy, but Critical care and Zoological animals. But even as horrifying visions of their social circles discovering their darling daughter digging through elephant feces nearly had poor Eloise Lancaster faint, Julie quickly assured them that they needn't worry about that. After all, she didn't plan to work in a Zoo, her ambitions lay far beyond the European borders, as she had every intention of joining the Rangers in one of the South African Wildlife reserves (and that did make her poor mother fan her hands at her head and ultimately swoon in perfect Victorian fashion).

Lots of arguments followed, threats were made, there was even a brief period were Julie's desperate parents tried setting her up with any eligible bachelor they could get their hands on. It was both laughable and increasingly painful, and ultimately escalated to the point where they threatened to not only refuse to pay for her international internship, but to stop paying for her tuition altogether. It was at this point that Julie sold her car, moved into a dubious apartment in the lesser part of London along with three students and paid the next semester with her own savings. For a while she didn't see her family at all, and any communication between Julie and her parents only took place via her brothers, who wholeheartedly applauded their sister's stubborn refusal to compromise.

A year later Julie did what she had so boldly dreamed of and followed a six month internship in Kenya. Life was different there; it was rough and merciless and an extremely far cry from the sheltered life at home, or even the much less glorious student life in England's Capital. At the Wildlife rehabilitation centre, where she was stationed, Julie saw things far more beautiful and far more terrible than anything the twenty-three years before that could have ever prepared her for. Although the first weeks were very much like her mother had envisioned, and Julie became far too closely acquainted with the multitude of animal excrements, ultimately she would get a glimpse of the life of the rangers who supervised the wildlife park, took care of the animals, kept the balance of the various species in check and, more notoriously, kept the poachers at bay as best they could. Which was an impossible feat, or so Julie would soon learn; there simply wasn't enough money nor were there enough people to grind the amount of people illicitly slaughtering animals to obtain their horns, tusks or other body parts still rumoured to have medicinal properties, to a complete halt. Ground up rhino horn was still more valuable on the black market than pure gold, and it was a lucrative, illegal business. Fighting it was like carrying water to the sea, and yet, Julie caught a glimpse of the tireless vigilance of the local rangers as they combatted the merciless trespassers with such limited success.

With no family backing her up anymore though, she eventually began running low on money, and ultimately Julie had to accept the fact that she would have to leave the rehabilitation centre behind and find a proper job, so that she could return to university and graduate, then finally return to Kenya. The news of job openings at Caravanserai was given to her by friends back in England, who had booked a holiday there and will be staying there several months from now. Julie applied and is now working diligently, cleaning stables, feeding all sorts of animals and aiding her superior as best as she can.

Gender: Female

Age: 25ish, though I have been known to claim otherwise

Sexuality: lesbian

Personality: kind of quiet, sometimes a bit of a loaner. Intelligent and nerdy, and you just know she has a tour guide book of the area, crammed with sticky notes and highlights. Can be very silly if she's comfortable, or willing to unleash the Southern scolding if provoked. In a lot of ways, her exhibited personality often is different depending on the people around her

Her accent is usually "American news reader" but about 5% of the time the southern comes out.

Eyes: blue

Height: 5'2, though her bad leg often makes her seem shorter. She secretly wishes she was taller than her staff (5'5) but that's just never going to happen.

Body Build: slender to the point of people often trying to feed her even after she's just eaten a large meal in front of them.

Additional Physical Notes: walks with a pronounced limp, and a staff, since her left leg is pretty beat up. She almost never exposes it in public though. The staff is a silvery light wood, polished and worn smooth by over a decade of handling

History: born and raised in Savannah Georgia, a place she (mostly) affectionately refers to as "the third weirdest city in the United States". Her mother is a teacher and her stepfather is an accountant. She had about as normal life as possible in a fairly small, fairly conservative place, while being 'that kid with the bad leg'.

Unfortunately, she wasn't smart enough to pretend to like boys in middle school, so she was also unintentionally outted as a lesbian

Personality: Axel is a Sagittarius, and yes, he kinda believes in all that. He's very outgoing, friendly, and flirty, and loves being around people. He can be a little bit cocky at times, and self-centered too, which mixed with his freedom-seeking spirit, can complicate things for him at the time of finding a partner. He likes to go out a lot, and he likes to drink, two of the main reasons why he's a bartender.

Eyes: Blue - Greyish
Height: 5 ft 10 in
Body Build: Slim and toned
Additional Physical Notes: Hooded eyes, mole above left corner of the upper lip, wears long hair and goatee. Has a tattoo of a small crown on his chest and two winged demons on his back.

History: Axel comes from an ordinary family. He finished high school with average grades. Went to college thinking he wanted to be a doctor, or something related to health. But less than a year later he realized college wasn't his thing and dropped it. Only after looking around for a few days, he decided he wanted to become a bartender. He has a long history of short and terrible relationships from which he's still trying to escape. Always broke, and always trying to fix his life, he pretty much goes with the flow, changing jobs often and sometimes working at three different places at the same time.

After meeting someone who slowly began to feel like the right guy, Axel's life was starting to change for the better. He was able to drop one of his jobs, and his relationship was getting more and more serious, and he wasn't freaking out too much, which was a good sign. Some months went on, and the opportunity of a journey around the world came up. Axel decided he didn't want to miss what was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to do something amazing and quitted his remaining job. The journey took him and his boyfriend across Europe and later to North Africa, and the Caravanserai hotel.

Gender: Female
Age: 25
Position: Doctor
Sexuality: Heterosexual--Questioning
Personality: Shailene is a strong, independent woman.  Shai tries to remain connected to her heritage.  Although she sometimes remains quiet, even contemplative, she is usually talkative and friendly.  She is used to making the calls but knows how to listen to others.  Shailene is a kind-hearted, loyal, fiery woman but can sometimes be too trusting.

Eyes: Brown
Height: 5' 11"
Body Build: Toned
Additional Physical Notes: You'll have to discover for yourself.   ;)
History: Shailene Redbird grew up the daughter of a single mother who rejected their family heritage.  Shailene, however, embraced it choosing to learn all she could from her Elisi (grandmother).  In fact, Shailene even claims that it was because of her grandmother that she chose to become a doctor.  Grandma Redbird, however, never takes credit for this instead choosing to say that her granddaughter was always meant to become a doctor.  Shailene's grandma even told her of times when the girl was very young when she would show what she was meant to become.  For example, when Shailene was five and had prepared a concert for her family, they were kept waiting until they realized she was not coming.  Instead, they found her tending to a bird with a broken wing.

Later when her younger brother got into a serious bike accident, Shailene was the one to comfort him and care for him until her mother could get him to the hospital.  Then at about ten, she jumped at the chance to help Elisi with her herbal remedies and treating those who come to her home with injuries and ailments.  After that, Elisi worked hard to convince Shailene's mother to put her in a fast track program to become a doctor and after Elisi agreed to pay half, that's exactly what happened.

At first, Shailene struggled adjusting to the extra work both in classes and outside of classes but eventually, Shailene caught on finding a strong ability to learn quickly.  That skill allowed her to graduate as Valedictorian and find the group that she would love as her best friends forever.  Unfortunately, the group would find that after residency and becoming doctors at young ages, they would be separated and have such busy lives they would barely get even talk to each other.  A few months later, Shailene found herself fed up with the lack of time with her friends and started applying to positions she had to laugh at the idea of ever actually being offered.  And when she received the call that would make her move what seemed like a lifetime away, she couldn't stop her fits of laughter until she reached the magnificent grounds in the middle of nowhere that blew her away.

[Peripherie]

Name: Everett Oliver Steele
Gender: Male
Age: 38
Sexuality: Oblivious but receptive (some kind of confused mix of bi/pan/sapio/demisexual)
Personality: Friendly but easily distracted by all the things he thinks he has to get done in a day, he can be forgetful especially in social situations. He is very task-oriented and has trouble just relaxing. Even in his downtime, he will be seen with a book and a pen or highlighter, taking notes. He has a hard time saying no when there is a genuine need, and that has been taken advantage of in his past - especially in work and friendship circles. Though shy, Everett is friendly and generally happy. If he thought on it for a while he might decide he is lonely but he fills his time and focuses on the next thing to check off on his to-do list.

Eyes: Hazel
Height: 6' 2"
Body Build: Fit, broad chest, fuller as he has gotten older but still muscular

Additional Physical Notes: He scars easy and so he has some lines and marks on his chest, arms, legs, and abdomen that almost look like intentional tattoos or scarification. Each one has a story. Everett wears glasses. He has contacts but they dry his eyes out so when he does wear them he will often be seen rubbing or squinting. Embarrassing easily, he can't hide a blush to save his life.

History: Everett has spent most of his life trying to get somewhere. It's much more of an internal drive - not so much climbing the corporate ladder or getting the 'perfect life'. He has always been one to look inward and try to fix what he perceives as his own defects. To this end, he has always worked multiple jobs, spent lots of time running or working out, reading as much as he could, and hitting his own self-imposed grindstone. All that hard work and a keen eye for details have led him into the IT world as a software developer. He spent twenty years working 60 hours a week without stop, until he recently developed the new 'it' app and was bought out for a very tidy sum. He was allowed to stay on with the new company under one condition - he went on vacation. Somewhere expensive and inclusive, somewhere far away from what he is used to. He thought it an odd business plan to buy out someone's interest and then pay them to go relax in the sun for a few months. But always a rule follower, Everett agreed. Now he is far away from the computers and life that he knows.

As far as relationships go, Everett has been in a few 'interactions' with others but nothing that really held his attention like work or his projects had. All his past sexual interests have been female but he has been very close to his male friends to the point of being romantic companions that could have been more if he took his nose out of a book or away from his screen. He has been always been submissive to the wants and needs of others -with a desire to please even if he can't always see what is staring him in the face.

[Praxis]

Name: Mark Watson
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Sexuality: Hetero
Personality: Mark is a listener more than a talker.  While not a complete introvert he does find some people a significant drain on his energy levels and is appreciative of the few people in his life that give rather than take from him.  Growing up where he did, Mark has a desire and need to prove himself.  Not necessarily to be "the best" but to certainly be unassailable in whatever field, event, social gathering he is participating in.  He uses this insecurity to drive a good deal of what he pursues.  He pays attention to his surroundings both when alone and particularly when in a social setting.  He can find large groups particularly difficult to navigate so he uses social queues to guide him in what he says and does.  He tries to give everyone the opportunity to simply be what they are but if he feels someone is being particularly ignorant or intolerant there is a good chance that he take steps to correct that person.  Mark is more of a fixer than a talker.  He'd rather get involved with a problem and get it resolved rather than talk about it at length.  When in a group, Mark will transition into a "mother hen" sort of role in order to make sure everyone is fed or cared for.  He thinks it allows him to "socialize" while keeping people at a distance because he's keeping busy.

Eyes: Blue
Height: 6'2"
Body Build: Fit, well-defined, clearly spends a significant amount of time in the gym and has a firm control of his diet.
Additional Physical Notes: A significant amount of Mark's upper body is tattooed with a smaller amount of his lower body also tattooed.

History:

A native of Northern Ontario, Canada; while being born in Thunder Bay, Mark grew up in a very small town thirty-five minutes north of the city.  His father, a smokejumper and his mother, a nurse practitioner had a relatively hands off approach with Mark.   This wasn't a bad thing.  Mark was a smart, serious child that would take risks from time to time but not before he had researched significantly regarding what he was going to do.  With his mother working difficult hours and his father outside of the house for extended periods, Mark was responsible for caring for and feeding himself and making sure he attended school regularly.  He wasn't unhappy and grew very familiar with the massive expanses of forest outside his town.

Mark got his degree in Natural Resources Management at Lakehead University and then followed his father into smoke jumping.  He spent eighteen months in British Columbia before being deployed for a number of years in various places in Northern Canada before a number of dire situations on the western coast of the U.S. provided him an opportunity to fight forest fires and rescue trapped civilians down there.

It was there that he got "cornered" by a local news team and ended up providing an interview for them about the current situation in California.  Mark had a "look" that people responded to, coupled with the fire fighter image and that he was a "polite Canadian", Mark became a bit of a poster boy for a short time. (Very short) After an awkward fifteen minute appearance on Ellen Degeneres' talk show, Mark had agents calling him.

Six months later Mark had put smoke jumping on hold and was trying his hand at the extremely fickle and aggressive world of modelling.

It sucked.

It was the worst.

Which really only encouraged Mark to try harder at it.

It was through some arm-twisting by his agent that he ended up on a reality television dating competition called Love Hurts.  She said it was going to be great for his follower numbers on instagram.

The show is going to be a stretch for Mark as he has never really had an actual "girl friend".  There's been a good many encounters with women but none of them have ever turned into anything permanent.  He wouldn't say he's afraid of or against commitment but he is keenly aware of the time needed to dedicate to someone else and make a relationship successful.  Love Hurts turned out to be an incredibly steep learning curve.

He lasted four days on the show before he was voted off by the other competitors as the least popular person.  The one connection he made, an intense and satisfying one with an American named Delaney opted to leave the show alongside of him.  For the last three weeks the two of them have been trying a long distance relationship type...thing.

It's tough.

Through all that and while both Mark and Delaney are dealing with publicity from the television show, Mark was contacted by the Ellen Degeneres Show once more.  It turns out that the Love Hurts television show is one of Ellen's guilty pleasures and she particularly followed the season that Mark and Delaney were involved in.  Mark was brought on to talk about his experience with Ellen.  While there Ellen surprised him with two things.  An offer to visit a remote, posh resort for six weeks on two conditions.  The first being that he blog and vlog his feelings about the resort twice a week.  The other condition being he attend the resort with Delaney.  Mark was...overjoyed to say the least.

So...the adventure begins

Eyes: Blue
Height: 5’5”
Body Build: Athletic, but likes tacos.
Additional Physical Notes: She has a small watercolor tattoo of mountains and a blue wildflower on her inner right wrist.

History:

Delaney grew up in the middle of nowhere and she never really left. She travels to some of the world’s most remote locations as a Senior Mine Geologist, and has dedicated all of her adult life to her career. A nomadic lifestyle frequently interferes with her ability to have stable long term relationships, though her current romantic prospects are looking up.   

With Delaney working in such a hyper-masculine profession, in addition to being an attractive woman, she’s had to learn how to deflect male attention in inoffensive ways.  Through experience she’s discovered that the best way to do so is to interact with them more on their level:  In other words, she knows how to become “one of the guys”.  She can drink, curse, swerve and talk sports with the best of them. While that often leads to interesting and funny interactions with her male colleagues, it rarely results in viable romantic options.

She’s an independent woman that is comfortable with being single, but recently  in search of something more substantial...and also just for funsies she appeared on a reality TV show called Love Hurts.

While there was plenty of drama to be had, and she was relatively well acclaimed in her five long days on the show, she formed a connection with one of the other contestants, Mark Watson, and jumped ship with him when he was voted out. For the five weeks since the show they’ve been speaking regularly and kind of, sorta are unofficially an item? Regardless of labels, she’s fond of him and regularly convinces him to let her facetime with his dog Fomo...because priorities. Fomo seems cool with it, mostly because she likes just about everyone.

Now, after an appearance with him on the Ellen Degeneres show, she’s agreed to take a break from her position in rural Alaska and embark on a six week adventure at Caravanserai.

Sexuality: She's thought of herself as heterosexual all her life, but she's reevaluating a lot of things and is open to new experiences. Which is to say, she is Omnisexual. Having explored her sexuality at her stay in the hotel, Becky is almost entirely lesbian these days.

Personality: Becky is a friendly, open-minded individual who is a little guarded because of her experiences, although her hesitance is hidden with easy going southern charm. She likes both simple and sophisticated things. Due to her background she can fit in well with regular folks and the jet set. She prefers to be laid back and would be a bit of a homebody if she had the option, although she does like to have a good time and is a bit of a hopeless romantic.

Eyes: Brown
Height: 5'7"
Body Build: Very Voluptuous
Additional Physical Notes: None.

History: Becky is a girl from a small town in the American south. Her family was quite religious and believed in traditional values. She grew up a sweet southern girl, and also grew up very pretty. She dated the star of the high school football team, who made it big in college, and was drafted into the NFL.

Name: Barbara “Barb” Blackburn
Gender: Female
Age: 34
Sexuality: Heteroflexible
Personality: Pithy, Frank, Confident, Realistic, Unique. Barb may look like an average Nebraska blonde, but she’s lived a tumultuous life that has left her with interesting (and perhaps polarizing) perspectives that she is not afraid to discuss. She knows a little about a lot, and is confident enough in herself to admit when she doesn’t. She does not appear to be interested in impressing others and therefore she moves throughout her life with a sense of freedom that most people aspire to.

Eyes: Green
Height: 5’7” or 1.71cm
Body Build: Hourglass with taut curves over lithe muscle
Additional Physical Notes: She has a tattoo of a snake on her ankle

History: Barb was not always a Nebraskan single-mom and real estate agent. Her life was exciting from an early age when her parents traveled to the major cities following her dad's band around. She was discovered as a model when she was only 15 and spent the next several years building a portfolio. By the time she was 20 she had already traveled the world and in the absence of adult supervision, developed some very unsavory habits, the worst of which were casual drug abuse and an unreliable instinct about men. At 18 she began to date an Italian photographer named Matteo, and they had a fiery affair for many years until she finally became pregnant at 21. Barb promptly married him and moved in to his family's villa. There, she gave birth to a daughter named Valentina, and for a few short years the three of them were a very happy family. Alas, their bliss was temporary and as soon as Matteo began to showcase a temper that Barb could not abide, she divorced him and took sole custody of Val (Matteo didn't fight for his daughter).

Aware that the proverbial party was over and that no amount of denial would change that, she strove to provide for Val so they moved in with her mother in rural Pennsylvania. There, she had someone to watch Val while she was at work at day, and a night while she enrolled in a GED program. As soon as she obtained her GED, she got a job and moved into her own apartment in PA. Eventually, she learned that rent was too high and looked to buy a home but the property values were outrageous, so she looked outside of the northeast and wound up in a charming two-story in Omaha. After the hassle of buying a house, she went to school to become a real estate agent and since getting her license, her trajectory has been onward and upward. Val is now 12 and the two of them have a comfier life than Barb ever thought she'd be able to provide. She was able to send her daughter on vacation with her friends and afford this luxury vacation for herself. She's been saving for years and is ready to treat herself to the finer things!

Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: He always seems to be off in his own world, and keeps mostly to himself because he never fit in with his family or their friends and is highly aware of that. He is a bit quirky but not super outgoing, that's not to say he is timid. He gets stuck in his own awkwardness, not always having the appropriate response or know how to carry on small talk. Being constantly reminded of his flaws, he developed social anxiety, constantly overthinking every interaction. He finds himself leaning more towards solo activities, finding it easier to express himself in the arts; he has been playing the piano for over 20 years but his social anxiety has held him from taking his passion to profession. He isn't a very powerful presence but has a very endearing side. He is super sensitive and can be gentle but also has bursts of stand-offish behaviors if he feels upset.

Writer: Taurinekitten

Name: Phoebe De'Makis
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Personality: On the outside Phoebe appears very energetic and quirky. She has a witty sense of humor and is usually rather quick with comebacks. Get a few drinks in her and she can be the life of the party. However behind closed doors Phoebe is more quiet and reserved. She is cautious about letting people close and tends to keep them at arms length. She typically can get along with just about anyone but does have a poor opinion of the wealthy even though she just came into money herself.

Eyes: Icy Blue
Height: 5'10
Body Build: In her head she appears very muscular and domineering, but it reality she's very thin and lanky.
Additional Physical Notes: Phoebe has long dark hair, in that in between of brown and black that frames her round face. She has a small piercing on the left side of her nose and a small scar where a labret piercing once was. She has a small thin scar above her right eye from an altercation she had with her brother's adopted father, as well as more non-visible scars from her time bouncing between homes. The word "Forgotten" is tattooed in typewriter font between her shoulder blades. She has the day her mother died tattooed on her left wrist, and the day her brother died on her right wrist. Resulting in her strange obsession with Peeps _ she has a medium sized pink peep on her left ankle.

History:

At a young age Phoebe and her older brother Carson witnessed the murder of their mother. With no family to claim them they were tossed within the prison like walls of foster care. Try as their caseworker did to keep them together, Carson had caught the eye of a state Senator. When the Senator heard about the death of their mother, he told the caseworker that a tragedy like that would add character to Carson, given the proper grooming. However one look at the small lanky little sister and the Senator discarded her as damaged goods.

So the siblings were separated, Carson off to a life of luxury and choices, whereas Phoebe was shoved into the system and funneled through broken homes. Her various caseworkers would fill her with promises of a better life and then drop her off at the curb and speed away. Most of the families only wanted her for the paycheck, outside that she was to be neither seen or heard. When the money wasn't worth her attitude anymore, or the husbands succumbed to the reality that they couldn't break her - they would ship her back.

Finally at 17 she was finally able to convince a judge to emancipate her. She had her mind set to find her brother and be reunited. After hitchhiking across the States, she finally found him attending Cornell University. Unfortunately she found him passed out drunk at a Frat party. Phoebe loaded her brother up and started to drive him home. Pissed that their frat brother was being taken away, the drunken students followed Phoebe and terrorized her on the road resulting in an accident. Her brother died instantly. Even though she hadn't been drinking and had done nothing wrong, she was still blamed. It was easier to point the finger at the homeless teenager, especially once the Senator heard of Carson's death. When the Senator saw Phoebe he attacked her with a scalpel, nearly cutting her eye out. As security pulled him away he told Phoebe to run and to hope he never finds her. With that she hit the road again.

She ends up staying on the move, afraid to linger too long in one place. Eventually she picks up a camera from a friendly driver and discovers a passion for taking photos. When she did stay for a while in a town, she would use the library to teach herself the fundamentals of photography as well as how to make money from it. While on the road she would take beautiful scenic pictures, as well as photos of odd and random things she'd find. In towns she would barter for batteries and upload her pictures to her online store. She wasn't making much, but enough to survive.

Last week she was standing outside a gas station when an overweight man pushed his way out the door, bitching about a losing lotto ticket. He tossed the ticket into the trash, pulled a chili dog from his pocket and walked away. Phoebe, out of habit, peeked at the ticket. The man hadn't even finished scratching it yet. Pulling a coin from her pocket she clears the remaining spots and her eyes grow wide. It's a winner, it's a big winner. She looks around for the grumpy man but he's no where to be seen. So she turns the ticket in herself, vowing to give the man something should she ever see him again.

At the announcement for her winning, she's surrounded by people and camera's. It's a feeling of claustrophobia she hadn't felt since foster care. As she scans the crowd before her she can feel a heavy weight on her chest, recognizing two faces. They were guards of the Senator and they didn't look like they were there to congratulate her. Slipping away she ends up finding herself in another banquet room that was in the middle of a seminar. Caravanserai they advertised. Seems far away which was a plus and she just came into enough money to take an extended vacation.


Face Claim: Christina Aguilera

[Lady Sakura]

Writer: KaleHyde

Name: Ronald James (RJ) Davenport Jr.
Gender: Male
Age: 40
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Personality: RJ until recently was a hard charging Type A personality speeding fast to an early demise.  His ruthless and overbearing ways had most people polarized into either loving his dominant tendencies or cursing the ground he prowled, mostly dependent on whether they stood against him or not.  Now, he has come to this oasis in the desert to destress and find better methods of coping mostly at the advice of his doctors and behest of his firm partners.

Eyes: Dark blue
Height: 6ft 2in
Body Build: Though getting older, he still strives to keep an athletic build both through working out and over the counter.
Additional Physical Notes: Has a scar on his left elbow from a surgery in college.

History: RJ is the oldest of three sons born to the well respected Republican Senator from Ohio, Ronald Davenport, and his NYC socialite wife, Margot.  The home was filled with love despite the media's constant claims that the marriage was merely for convenience and, while the boys never wanted for anything, RJ was raised with the ideals of discipline and hard work.  He actually earned his way into Princeton both academically and as part of the rowing team though the latter ended his junior year when he needed to have his elbow surgically repaired.  Still that was a sort of blessing as it caused RJ to focus more on his pursuit of a law degree and graduate in the top third of his class. 

Ronald had a meteoric rise in the corporate DC firm that took him in, his inner drive and tenacity worked in tandem with his father's connections to produce a fierce adversary in any court setting.  However, what he seemed to lack was his father's genuine compassion for people over monetary gain, a fault that only got worse upon his father's untimely death five years ago.  RJ completely lost himself in his work as if taking out his grief on every protest group, injured plaintiff, and small business he could manage.  He was ruthlessly successful but working himself to the bone.  Just after his recent fortieth birthday fueled by hard alcohol and willing women, both his doctor and his bosses warned him that he needed to slow down, learn to take a breath, but it was his mother who finally got through to him and convinced him to get away from everything for a while.  Caravanserai was one of the few high end resorts in the world where RJ might be able  to disappear from all those he has crossed and the ever prying media curious as to why he would drop from his prominent place in the headlines.

He is very friendly, doesn't mind being the center of attention and loves to meet new people. Taking failure and success with the same air of humility, he always seems to be well liked by all crowds. Traveling around the world is a passion and you'll never catch him without a business card- always expanding his network of connections.

He can look a little intimidating at first with very strong features but he has an extremely approachable personality.

Eyes: Green
Height: 6'4
Body Build: Muscularly fit
Additional Physical Notes:

History: Gabriel was raised by a hard-working single mother who always encourages him to set and achieve goals. Getting deeply engrossed in multiple hobbies at a young age, he learned quickly that the only way to win life was to do and learn as much as possible. He was an early graduate and quickly became a well respected Architect, earning himself a solid standing in the business. When his mother retired from the medical world of surgery, she became a partner and helped her then 26 year old son open his own firm. His firm seems to be ever-growing but he feels like he lacks what others have when it comes to personal life affairs.

[Claudia101]

Name:

Cassie
Female
29
Heterosexual

Cassie is confused about her sexuality--she has a past history of being abused and sometimes cuts.
Cassie is an introvert, she is shy around people, especially older men.  She has a persistent feeling of not belonging and not being a real person so she is often drawn toward people who are self assured.  She is
moody, often reclusive, and impulsively tries new things whether those things are a new self concept or an out-of-the-box adventure.  She is essentially good-hearted, loyal to her friends, and as a result tends to self-censure feelings that are overtly malicious or downright "catty".  She has a vivid imagination and has been described as a "dreamer" on more than one occasion by her friends.

She has hazel eyes.
She if five feet, six inches in height
She is slender, a b-cup, brunette
She has a nice figure and she self-conscious about her ability to attract men sexually.  She feels her backside is her most attractive feature because men have repeatedly told her that.  Even though she is slender, she worries about gaining weight.

Cassie is the youngest in her family.  Her sister is the middle child, her brother is the eldest.  For a time she occupied the "baby" position in the family and was indulged and adored.  Her father, however, was in the Navy and very conservative (although not a Christian) and believed in corporal punishment.  Cassie now regards the frequent spankings she received growing up and continuing into the early years of adolescence as physical and emotional abuse.  She wonders if she was abused sexually in some way, but has no memories of such abuse.  At the age of 18 she took a fight to Morocco, quickly ran out of money, was looked after by a man who married her and took her to England at which point he promptly became unfaithful.  She made it back to the States at age 25 with a divorce under belt (no children) and blasted through a series of flawed relationships with men that treated her badly--Of, course she had a part to play:  She was alcoholic and experimented with a wide variety of drugs.  She had the sense to detox and seeking a geographical cure, has ended up in Caravanserai with limited funds.

[Silas Wolf]

Name:  Joseph Shade
Gender: Male
Age: 35
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Personality: Joseph is inherently good, as he tries to help people constantly and always stands up for what he believes in and always protected those he cared about fiercely.  Though he is good and cares about everyone, even if they deserve it or not, he is incredibly stubborn. Yet he finds that there is just something missing just outside his reach. No matter how hard he tries to reach it, it slips through his fingers. And those few that call him friend there is nun truer.  As he would walk through the gates of hell if it meant saving your life. Yet he is just as vengeful if you were to ever cross that line from friend to enemy. It would be safer on the other side of hells gate thin to face his wrath. And once there it is almost impossible to regain his full trust in you.

Eyes: Light Brown
Height: 5' 9"
Body Build:
Additional Physical Notes: Muscular

History: Joseph was the sixth and last child born to Elizabeth  Ashley,  he was her joy.  More sensitive and with an inherently kinder nature than his five older brothers, Joseph gravitated towards his mother’s compassionate and generous ways.  It often put him at odds with his father, Daniel, and his older brothers, but no one would oppose his mother, the loving core, and the strength of their family unit.

Everything changed on Joseph’s seventh birthday, when his mother, Elizabeth died.  His father Daniel, always jealous of Joseph’s relationship with his now-deceased wife, took out his anger, frustration, and grief on his youngest son.  Compounding Joseph’s loss of the person he loved most in the world, he now had bitterness, contempt, mockery, and hostility to deal with day after day.  His brothers followed their father’s lead and made his life harsh, cold, and hopelessly devoid of tenderness and human decency.

For nine and a half years, Joseph bore the constant contempt, insults, neglect, and indignity, while an inner darkness built up within him till it all came to a head one night when he was sixteen and a half, he snapped.  It wasn’t that his father’s actions were any worse that day than they had been before that.  It wasn’t that once again, his brothers sat back and laughed at their father’s cruelty.  It was simply that on that particular evening, the anger and frustration and pain were too much and the darkness within him erupted.   Then, as the shadows slipped away and Joseph came back to himself, hearing the cries from his brothers, begging him to stop.  He felt their hands pulling him off his father and looking down, he realized that he had nearly killed the man.

Joseph backed away, horrified at his loss of control, and saw blood on most of his brothers as well.  He looked at his hands, the skin on his knuckles torn, his own blood mixing with that of his family’s.  The young man stumbled from the house, dazed and shocked.  The last thing he heard as his feet faltered on the front porch steps was his father’s voice,” Get out!  You’re no son of mine.  You’ve never been good for anything!” And with those words, Joseph  Ashley died.  Promising himself that he would never allow anyone to treat him that badly again, he was re-born.  Joseph Shade walked from the only home he had ever known, finding more peace on grimy, heartless streets of New York than he had known in that house since the death of his mother.

Name: Maylin Alvarez
Gender: Cisfemale
Age: 31
Position: Assistant Manager
Sexuality: Omnisexual
Personality: Very helpful, humble, friendly, and really interested in making sure your stay here is exceptional!

Eyes: Brown
Height: 5'5"
Body Build: Very Curvy, and every day is leg day.
Additional Physical Notes: Maylin is typically wearing 3-4 inch heels so usually effectively stands around 5'8"

History: Maylin has always worked in the hospitality industry, and she's always worked hard, and she's always worked with a smile. It's helped her out a lot when opportunities come up. It started as a part time job cleaning rooms in high school to help pay her family's rent. Then she got offered a job managing the night shift at a local fleabag motel. Then she got offered to take over the day shift. Then she got a job at a better hotel. And so on. When the owners of Caravanserai went looking for the best in the world to run their exotic resort, she was the one making things happen at a downtown Hilton in Miami, which had the best ratings of any hotel with that name.

On what can best be described as a whim, Maylin applied when she heard Caravanserai had an opening. She figured her lack of formal education and relatively humble upbringing would disqualify her from a job meant to cater to jet-setters, but was shocked when the interviews went well. Touring the facility and hearing how much freedom she would have to do things her way, she was stunned and accepted practically on the spot once she saw Caravanserai in person.

That was two years ago. Since then she's been helping make sure things go smoothly at what she believes is rightfully considered the best hotel in the world.

Honestly, she considers her job fairly easy, all of her staff are exceptional and don't need to be micromanaged. She helps out best by going where she's needed, and she's respected and liked by both those under and over her for the fact that she doesn't consider any work beneath her. She'll man the front desk, serve drinks, even carry your bags, show you the way in the elevator and mop the floor. There's nothing she won't do to make sure a guest's stay is unforgettable. The fact that she isn't chained to one position is something she takes advantage of to ensure she can attend to guests who she thinks could use the extra service.

Eyes: Steel Blue
Height: 6’1
Body Build: Athletic, but a small belly on him in the nature of a dad bod.
Additional Physical Notes: Garrison stands at 6’1, with short cut hair on the sides and four inch long hair at the top, slicked back with gel usually. He has a strong square jaw, with a small scar on the under side of it. He often times has no facial hair, preferring a clean cut, but during vacation he gets scruffy. His facial hair has signs of gray hairs, though not many.

His body is that of an average ‘dad bod’. Muscular chest and arms, not overly large but not flabby. Though he has a small stomach where it’s obvious he enjoys his drink and food. His legs are longest of him, accounting for the majority of his height. They seem chiseled and very muscular, indicating him to be a runner. He wears a size 11.5 in US shoe sizes and his hands are rather large with fingers being thick. He has three tattoos. A cobra on his left bicep, two anchors interlocked on his left calf and a set of dice with fire under them on his chest.

History: Garrison had an average American childhood while being a part of a middle class family. Decent enough neighborhood, strict but fair Father, tired Mother and two older brothers. He didn’t much get along with anyone in his family, but stayed cordially to slip through and ‘survive’ so to speak.

His school life was that of a normal child. Acing Elementary, studying rigorously in Middle and most of Highschool. But during Highschool he found a passion for two things. Football and women. These lead to his rigorous workouts and a number of fights. He never made it to college on a football scholarship, but instead took grants and loans to study Financial courses and business management.

After college he landed a job in New York City day trading stocks. Quite successfully at that! His employer was never unimpressed with his ability to make money from the trading, easily causing his salary to wrack up exponentially. Eventually he was made a Senior VP with his company at the age of 28. His boss gave him a month of vacation all at once, telling him he earned it and recommended a multitude of places to go, which brings us where we are now.

[Lady Sakura]

Name: Nova van Dishoeck
Gender: Female
Age: Mid 20s
Sexuality: Omni
Personality: Nova comes across as a bit of a firecracker, live wire, free spirit, party girl. She seems to live for the moment and doesn't want to think any further along than that. She will actively discourage deep or meaningful discussion in her presence, almost with such vigor that one might think she doesn't want anyone to realize she is capable of having them.

Eyes: Brown
Height: 5'8"
Body Build: Curvy
Additional Physical Notes: Is nearsighted, wears glasses when dressed casually or in private.

History: Nova doesn't like talking about her history. If pressed she will reveal that no, Nova was not her birth name, although it is her legal name, but she won't get into the why and how it changed. She may make a reference or two to the University of Wisconsin, but will claim she never declared a major and was just there to party. Her accent and culture is clearly middle American. Beyond that she'll just say she needed a vacation and doesn't seem eager to share the details of from what or how she's paying for it. She has an instagram account, nearly a year old, that she's posted to frequently, most often promoting a product, but even going over it with a fine tooth comb won't reveal much other than that most of her previous pictures were taken at popular clubs in Chicago or at the University of Wisconsin campus.

[Lady Sakura]

Name: Alexandrena Kensington
Age: 24
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Personality: Ren is a bad girl, a party girl, and a loud mouth all wrapped into one.  She loves to flirt and will especially do so if her bodyguard is around.  She loves doing things she knows she shouldn't such as causing fights, partying, drinking, chasing adrenaline, escaping her bodyguard, and making comments no one wants to hear.  Ren is the kind of girl who always seems to have the right answers but doesn't like to open herself up to anyone else, making most of her relationships short-lived.

Eyes: Blue
Height: 5'7
Body Build: Shapely and Voluptuous
Additional Physical Notes: Ren's noticeable features start with the size of her natural body.  Naturally she has size 32F boobs, a rump that lives up to that ample bosom and a flat, toned stomach.  However her body is not perfect.  The young woman has a small scar at the edge of her eyebrow which she clearly attempted to cover up with a piercing.  Other piercings she has include a tongue piercing, multiple ear piercings, and a naval piercing.  While she does claim to have a tattoo, she will not say where or what.

History: Alexandrena Kensington was born with ODD (oppositional defiance disorder) to a tycoon family.  Though she never wanted for material possessions, in her youngest ages (>3), she always wanted for friends.  That is until her family decided to send her to an elite boarding school on the other side of the country.  While her parents made sure she still had the material possessions she could want that she was allowed to have, she was now around kids of her own age.  However she quickly found that when things went wrong, it always seemed to be her fault one way or another.  Even when she returned home for the summers, her older brothers used her as their scapegoat when they would mess up and she would get in trouble.

For a while, she put up with it the best she could, though her ODD got her into some trouble on her own.  Then at 13, there was Peter Townsend, a popular boy at Ren's school who she fell hard for.  The two had quite the relationship before everything went rocky.  Peter was ready for things Allie was not.  This he seemed to deal with begrudgingly until he got himself into some trouble with other boys in the school and Ren stood up for him when Peter did not want her too.  Without a word about breaking up, Ren found out Peter was with a new girl, a popular one only days later.  This changed everything for her.  By this point, Ren's brothers had grown up, one having joined the military, finding a close enough friend in Chris Nelson that Ren got the chance to meet Chris.  He had been handsome, smart, and though he looked quite intimidating when angry, kind.  He quickly became Ren's person, the one she trusted and felt safe talking to.  The only person who seemed to be able to talk some sense into the young girl, not that it seemed to help much anyways.

By the time Alexandrena turned 15, she had been kicked out of a few schools for her behavior and her name had been in the tabloids as part of so many scandals, it was practically a household name.  Her parents decided she needed a babysitting but they titled the position as her bodyguard in an attempt to get Ren to accept it.  The heiress wasn't stupid and she was going to make whoever took the job's life a living hell.  Five females had been hired in the matter of two years, none lasting more than six months.  Her parents didn't know what to do.  That is until they realized Chris was no longer in the military and offered him the job.  Ren loved the ability to have him around all the time but if he thought she'd make it easy on him just because they had a prior friendship, he had another thing coming.  This time, she was determined to do everything she had to to chase away the bodyguard.  It wouldn't be easy since he knew her moves, he knew how she did it with the others, he watched her grow up, and he knew who it was she was that she hid away from the world.  In fact, he had helped her learn and improve on her skills to get rid of previous bodyguards.

After a couple years, Ren gave in to the idea that she wouldn't be able to get Chris to leave the job, though she'll never tell him.  Still she finds entertainment in making his life as difficult as she can.  This year, she's decided to take her college courses online and explore wherever she wants in the world.  It just so happened that she heard of a beautiful resort in the middle of a scorching desert.

Face Claim: LL Cool J

History: Chris was born to a marine father and a foreign diplomat’s daughter.  He was trained to salute before he could walk.  His father taught him three different martial arts before he was 12.  His father made it a point to try to make Chris ready, for what?  Chris didn’t even know.  Chris grew up a skinny kid, prone to acting out and becoming verbal mostly using rap as his outlet. 

Chris was a legacy Marine, there were reports that there was a marine back with the corps was first created. Though they were slaves, their training was absolute.  He was given one ray of hope, Wayne Kensington.  They became best friends in high school, that was till Chris found out he had a sister.  She was cute even then, but Wayne told him to stay away from her.  As a good friend, he did.   It was then Ren ran into Peter Townsend who apparently broke her heart. Chris heard about it from both Wayne and Ren, considering Chris was attracted to her, that didn’t sit too well with him.  He couldn’t do a whole lot to the boy because of their age difference, but Chris didn’t forget.  Even still he and Ren became closer. 

Not as close as he wanted, but time passed.  A wayward pickup game of basketball, strangely enough, Peter, ended up with a broken nose, most considered it an accident, Wayne wondered, but Chris knew it wasn’t.  It was about this time they two young men graduated and made a pact to watch each other's backs, Wayne wanted to go into the military but didn’t think he was Chris strong for the Marines.  Chris had a falling out with his father, for choosing his career over Chris.  So he went with Wayne into the Army.  The boys graduated in the top of their class and were deployed together and even came back together.  Chris did what he could from across the water to keep Ren out of trouble, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t.

By the time the boys had gotten back home, Ren had developed quite the reputation even that of running through bodyguards like candy.  It was then that her parents asked Chris if he would take the job.  He really didn’t think it was a great idea considering how apparently he still felt about here but he was willing to help out for a little while that has been 7 years now he was more than adept at keeping up with his little Minx Princess…for now.

Name: Florian Flora Daugherty
Gender: AMAB Non-Binary
Age: 25
Sexuality: Pansexual
Personality: Flirty, Teasing, but also deeply serious when in the mood.

Eyes: Blue
Height: 185 cm
Body Build: Fit, slender, feminine
Additional Physical Notes: Long blonde hair that they treat almost like a piece of art, trashy art but nonetheless art.

History: Flora Florian is a well know visual artist born to an old money family of Boston, Massachusetts, as the first son (a role and definition he was never comfortable with and from a very early age he borrowed his two years older sister's clothes. This was severely discouraged by their parents who sent them off to a boarding school for boys where they were miserable but also had their first crush on a classmate a crush that lead to expulsion after which Flora at the young age of only sixteen ran off to New York.

A month later they sent a postcard to their sister with an address where she could reach them. A month after that they received a letter from their mother who first informed them that their father was absolutely livid but that she had managed to procure an allowance for them that would allow them to live in relative comfort. Exactly how this deal had been made or on what premises was never clarified.

Ever since a young age Flora/Florian had been quite talented with drawing and painting and now that they had money in their pockets they rented a cheap studio apartment in Brooklyn and started to paint full time. Three years later this resulted in them being offered their own exhibition at a small gallery which lead to them being discovered as it were. A year later their paintings went for sums up to five figures, and they moved to a penthouse in Manhattan and suddenly had money enough to not only throw lavish parties every weekend but to also pay back their family every cent they had ever given them.

Fame and fortune soon became a heavy burden and they spent more time on parties, casual physical relationships with a multitude of partners, and on drugs, than on painting and having failed to deliver on a commission their reputation began to fade and they decided they needed a clean break. They sold their penthouse and left their sister in charge of managing the sale of the few paintings they had finished since their last exhibition before prices dropped too low.

They left no address behind, only a bank account into which the sales of their painting was to be deposited. Next stop was Caravanserai where they hoped to be able to escape the public eye and get their life together again.

Flora/Florian are really just two different aspects of the same person, one female and one male, a dual personality one might say even if Flora is the the dominant personality.
