PROFESSOR BAILEY | 37 | TOWNIE
lachlan bailey was born in beautiful carlisle, england in the mid-nineteen seventies. as a young man growing up, he couldnt ever get enough of science and history, two of the subjects most openly hated among children, next to math of course. he was a bit of a genuis- well, completely a genius, and that wasnt always openly accepted. still, he had a charisma about him while others of his mental status had an awkwardness, so it lead to a handful of successes and dangerous jobs. he came to the mainland island just recently at thirty seven, interested in the people that seemed to come and go so suddenly. at least, that was his cover job. hes working for a secret organization that is looking into what is truely happening, and they think the rest of honolulu is covering it up. of course, that could just be the ramblings of a group of crazy men and women playing too much into happenstance, but what if something was really going on? he quickly picked up a job at the local university, teaching a few accelerated classes in chemistry, biology, and history. he keeps himself busy between grading assignments and studying the people of the mainland who seemed to disappear and come back. sometimes people are just too smart for their own good, and though he hasnt found a thing to get a lead on, he feels like he is close to a break. maybe a bit too close?
as far as friends go, lachlan has quite a few of them casually. he enjoys the company of people and they seem to enjoy him right back for his quirky behaviour, but not a single person is close to him. he introduces himself as professor bailey, and nothing more. the only thing connected to his past is his accent, clearly from england. you cant give away too much when youre investigating mysterious disappearences, can you? he has no lovers to speak of on the island, mostly because he doesnt get close and doesnt see the need for sex, but it could also be because hes truly, madly, deeply in love with a woman already. everyone has enemies as well, and being the weird man he is, hes bound to have some. not to mention the men after him from his previous jobs and knowing too much information. plus, who enjoys assignments on holiday weekends?
LI | 21 | ISLANDER
effie winters, daughter of a sergant general in the united states marine corp, was born just after christmas in ft lauderdale, flordia. she was homeschooled and uprooted several times as a young girl as her father was stationed from place to place. the longest time she spent anywhere was the exotic and lush jungles of the second wettest place in the world, cherrapunji, meghalaya, india. she took to the culture and the land rather quickly,and what child wouldnt? it was a place of magic. she did her studies on the living bridges of the village, taking her walks through the jungles, spending time with the other children and learning their stories and beliefs. it was like living in a fairytale. still, all good things must come to an end, and despite adoring her home of india, she decided it was time for a new adventure for a little while and enrolled in the college on the mainland for a major in art. now, shes almost graduated, and she cant wait to head home to india in the next year or so, though her father is now in afganistan. before she could graduate though, she was plucked from the island almost a year ago and cast onto the island. shes got her own camp set up within the trees and tries to think of it as home, though shes scared she wont ever see her family again.
this adorable little creature has a good handful of friends that she loves to hang out with and snuggle up for a movie night. she isnt afraid to get close to people, and with her tiny stature, shes always snuggleable. as far as lovers go, she hasnt had very many, but shes shared enough kisses to know her way around the lips. im sure she has a few enemies too, though who would want to hate that face?
