[[Image:Crosby.jpg|thumb|The real-life Sidney Crosby]]

'''Name:''' Sidney Crosby 
'''Gender:''' Male 
'''Age:''' 17 
'''Grade:''' Ten 
'''Extra Curricular Activity:''' Played hockey for the Rimouski Oceanic, was just drafted 1st Overall by the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins 
'''School:''' Shattuck-St.Mary's Prep School

'''Appearance:''' Standing at 5'11 and weighing in at just under 200 lbs, Sidney is a well-built seventeen year old. His body is quite well-conditioned from playing hockey, and he's very well-proportioned, not looking gawky or awkward at all. He has curly brown hair and almost always wears a kind-looking smile on his face. He has the look of a bit of a practical joker, and wears that in the smile that he has on his face most of the time. Often, he's found in Reebok attire, as he has a sponsorship deal with that company. In SOTF, he wears a black Reebok cap, a black sweatshirt, also sponsered by Reebok, and dark blue jeans. Ironically, he wears Nike shoes, a fact that he tries not to show around, although he does also own a pair of Reeboks.

'''Biography:''' Sidney is the classic small-town kid who has an absolutely unnatural talent for hockey. He's been compared to Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux, and such a comparison, whenever it's made, makes him blush. Sure, he's a hell of a hockey player, but he has not let any of that fame goto his head. Those around him still think of him as a quality young man, a person who's very kind to those around him, and who always thinks about others before himself. He's had to become very guarded, though, as when entering the world of pro sports, you never know who's really on your side or not. Sidney is a bit of a joker, and sometimes enjoys playing practical jokes on his friends and teammates. While all is good in the life of Sidney Crosby, he at times feels a little lonely, as he's basically at the center of this storm and doesn't have anyone there with him, except his family - which still, is family, and that is something Sidney knows that he'll have no matter what. A classic gentleman with small-town values, Sidney's most definitely not cut out for SOTF. Problem is, he's watching all of his dreams and hard work crash down around him, which can drive anyone to the brink of madness. How will Sidney fare when the game is not hockey, but kill or be killed? Due to the hockey committments, he ended up doing a long, abbrivated year of schooling, and as such was held behind a year. He's a smart kid, though, but due to the hockey, he's got a full load on his plate.

'''Other:''' He's got a very odd, yet skillfull sense of perception, and he can easily read people, a lot of the time predicting their actions. Sometimes he believes that he can predict what is going to happen before it does, and a lot of the time, he's right - something that occasionally frightens him.

'''Number:''' Boy # 87

'''''The above biography is as written by [[d0ddi0slave]]. No edits or alterations to the author's original work have been made.'''''

==

'''Designated Weapon:''' Switch Blade 
'''Conclusions:''' Can predict things before they happen, huh? I wonder if he saw this one coming... I can't really tell if B87'll go into the protector type mode, or go insane because now all his dreams are shattered. I guess it all depends on who he meets up with, what they do, and if that perception of his kicks in.

'''Kills:''' (2); [[Chance Burton]], [[Nevera Aero]]

'''Killed by:''' N/A

'''Collected Weapons:''' Switchblade (taken by [[Jack O'Connor]]), Tanfoglio T95 "Combat", Ruger KP97D

'''Allies:''' [[Toby Valerik]], [[Takara Asano]], [[Chance Burton]], for a while he was also allied with [[Jill Gatling]], [[Jack O'Connor]], [[Martyn "Murdoc" Ferdinand|Martyn Ferdinand]], and [[Hannah Juett]]

'''Enemies:''' [[Cody Jenson]], [[Vince Samsa]], [[Angelina Kaige]], [[Terrorists|Elijah Rice]]

'''Mid-Game Evaluation:''' Sidney Crosby, for a great deal of his time on the island, was silent, and avoided at all costs being seen or even speaking to anyone. Fearing for his life, and fearing that someone would want to 'make a name for themselves' by killing hockey's next superstar, Sidney attempted to keep a very low profile. When Sidney heard Toby Valerik call out for help, he couldn't help but go and see if the boy was in trouble. His friendly nature allowed himself to be spotted for the first time, and upon finally speaking to Toby and Chance Burton, he opted to continue on with them, feeling more comfortable with people as opposed to being alone. Shortly therafter, Sidney would run into Takara Asano, and she would also join up with the three boys. Takara would be the first one to recognize who Sidney actually was, but told him that she'd keep his identity secret if he wanted to, to which he agreed. Chance, of course, recognized Sidney but said nothing, while Toby didn't seem to care one way or another.

The group then made their way to another part of the River, where they would run into even more people, bumping into the well-travelled and weary group that included [[Amanda Jones]], [[Madelaine Shirohara]], [[Adam Dodd]], [[Jill Gatling]], and [[Martyn "Murdoc" Ferdinand|Martyn Ferdinand]]. Both groups interacted well with one another, Sidney getting a bit of a scare when Jones pointed a shotgun at him, but all seemed well. Everything was going fairly well until Madelaine wandered off to clear her mind and was attacked by Cody Jenson. Sid, who had also wandered off and found a gun, stumbled upon Cody as he murdered Madelaine, having raped the poor girl. The clearly shaken Sidney Crosby was shocked and horrified that Cody, a person who had played hockey against him and was thought to be the number two prospect behind himself, a person who he'd respected for years, had done such a horrific act. The truth then came out, as Cody revealed his hatred for Sidney. At the same time, he shot at Sidney twice, causing Sidney to dodge both bullets, an action that would slowly haunt him for the rest of his time on the island. In avoiding Cody's shots, both bullets that had been meant for him travelled into the woods behind him and struck Amanda Jones in the face, killing her instantly. Sidney would be comforted by Toby, but that wouldn't stop him from bearing the brunt of the rage from Adam Dodd, who would take most of it out on Crosby, yelling at him and then eventually storming off, swearing that he'd have Jensen's head. From there, Jill and Martyn would pursue Adam, leaving the four alone again. They would decide to bury the two unfortunate girls, and took the time to give them the proper respects.

Shortly therafter, the group would encounter [[Vince Samsa]], who had clearly lost the capacity for rational thought. With the arrival of [[Kousaka Takeda]], all hell broke loose, as Vince attacked the group and fled, Sidney taking a bullet in the foot. Kousaka also left after pleading for his life, and from there, the four, drained and devastated, couldn't help but wonder what would happen next. Of course, at that exact moment, Danya would announce that after his announcement, the area that they currently occupied - the River, would become a danger zone. Sidney found himself being picked up and carried out of the area by an obviously worried Chance Burton.

Upon the group's arrival at the Makeshift Hospital, they were truly overwhelmed by the amount of bodies that lay around the area. After stationing themselves in the area, the group was approached by terrorist [[Angelina Kaige]], who was masquerading as another student. Chance seemed wary of this new arrival, and the situation escalated into a fight. In the midst of the brawl, Sidney fired off a shot aimed for Kaige. Instead, the bullet grazed Chance's collar, resulting in its detonation, the death of Chance Burton, and Sidney's first kill on the island. Horrified at what he'd done, Sidney left Toby and Takara and took off.

His wandering found him located at the warehouse, where the group of Jack O'Connor and company were regrouping outside after an attack that had been orchestrated on [[Martyn "Murdoc" Ferdinand|Martyn Ferdinand]] while he was on guard duty. Although the group seemed wary of the unarmed Sidney, they allowed him into the sanctity of their group, and after [[Hannah Juett]] showed up, Sidney helped influence the group to allow her in as well. Inside the warehouse, [[Jill Gatling]] informed them of the escape plan they'd been working on, and for once, things were looking up.

That is, until [[Ryan Torres]] and his ragtag group showed up. The warehouse kids seemed unwilling to allow anyone else into the confines of their sanctuary, and a shootoff ensued between them. Sidney panicked as a result and fled to the rooftop, where he'd planned on escaping. He was pursued by Jack, however, who would not allow Sidney to leave. After a standoff between the two, Jack finally decided Sid could go. Shortly thereafter, the large explosion that erupted from within the warehouse sparked Sid's interest and sent him back down the ladder, where he discovered his dead allies strewn around the interior. After looting the corpses for weaponry, Sidney was once again off.

However, upon wandering around the area and finding himself right back where he started, he was startled to come upon [[Nevera Aero]] standing outside, and in another fit of panic reflexively pulled the trigger on the gun, killing the girl before running off once again. Sid next found himself in the woods, where he was assaulted and almost killed by [[terrorists|Elijah Rice]]. If not for the help of one, [[Adam Dodd]], Sid most assuredly would have lost his life in the conflict. Sid continued to run, never looking back to see what had become of his savior.

After that encounter with Dodd and the terrorist, Sidney found himself wandering about with nowhere to go, no allies in sight. Feeling reflective at his current plight, Sidney looked back on the allies that he'd made while running for his life and how essentially all of them were now gone. The only reason that he'd survived - or so he realized, was because he was a coward. Sidney Crosby, the famous hockey player, supposedly the greatest talent to come out of the new millennium...was a coward. As the announcement came on and let Sidney know that he had managed to fluke his way into the final four, along with Jack O'Connor, Adam Dodd, and Cody Jenson, he realized that if he continued on his cowardly ways, there'd be virtually no chance of him ever making it back onto United States soil ever again. As these realizations set into place, and Sidney began to make his way to the River, he finally decided that he would try and give it his all to come out on top when all was said and done.

Sidney proved to be the first to arrive at the River, and immediately decided that his best chance would be to hide and try to wait out the inevitable battle that was set to be waged. Trying to climb up a tree, he quickly found it harder than he may have otherwise thought, and was interrupted by Cody Jenson, who was next to the battlefield that was the River. Jenson pulled Crosby down and the two proceeded to have a verbal confrontation.

The two indeed met while on the island, and while both are still alive, it will be interesting to see how each of them plays into the other's story.

Adam Dodd (V3)

2008-04-16T07:24:51Z

D0ddi0slave: /* Game Evaluations */

[[Image:Adamdoddv3.jpg|thumb|Adam, South Park Style]]'''Name:''' Adam Dodd 
'''Gender:''' Male 
'''Age:''' 19 
'''Grade:''' 12th 
'''School:''' Southridge 
'''Hobbies and Interests:''' Hockey, Writing, Public Speaking, Track and Field, Photography

'''Appearance:''' The first impression that one gets when they look at Adam Dodd is that he is someone who is haunted by his past. His brown eyes betray an intelligence about them, but the intelligence in his eyes are not the most prominent thing that you'd notice about them - that would in fact be the look of suspicion and guardedness that are basically stamped across his forehead. He wears his orangey-red hair a little longer than he'd particularily like to; long enough to come halfway down his ears and obstruct his forehead. It's a style that doesn't look bad on him, and because of the pure number of 'shaggy-haired surfers' around California, it doesn't appear out of place on him. Of course, this haircut is purely by necessity rather than want.

Adam usually wears stubble on his face, and only shaves once every couple of days, mainly because of the fact that most mornings, he can't be bothered. It alternates between making him look hardened and like he perpetually just got out of bed; both of which could be seen as accurate. The stubble also adds a few years to his percieved age, a feature that he's essentially had since the age of 13. Today, at 19, Adam manages to easily pass for a 23 to 26 year old, and it leads to him being carded very infrequently if he ever opts to go to a bar.

Physically, Adam is in the best shape he's ever been in. From the ages of fourteen to sixteen, Adam was mildly overweight, and felt very self-conscious about it. He didn't eat properly and his endurance and sports ability sufferred as a result. It took an entirely traumatic experience for Adam to turn this around, but in the two and a half years past, he's managed to do just that. Now down thirty-five pounds from his former weight of 210, Adam tips the scales at about 175 lbs, managing to keep himself in good enough shape to perform adequately at basically any sport that he wants to, aside from volleyball.

Most of Adam's muscle-weight comes from his legs, which are the most muscular part of his body, much in part to the fact that he started taking a very active interest in track and field once he turned seventeen. The only fat that one can really see on his body is around his stomach area, and manages to be the remnants of his formerly larger gut; though it's barely noticable now.

In terms of wardrobe, Adam dresses fairly conservatively. He's usually found in dark blue jeans that are loose enough for comfort, but tight enough that they look appropriate for going out in, and moving quickly if ever necessary. Even though the California weather doesn't make it practical to wear jeans all the time, Adam usually does, very rarely opting to wear shorts. On the odd time that he does, he usually wears greenish-brown khaki pants with zip-off legs that he converts into shorts. Aside from that, Adam is almost always found in a t-shirt. Most of the ones he owns are varying shades of black or blue, but the odd green or white shirt manages to sneak its way into his wardrobe as well. When it's colder, or later on at night, Adam usually wears a dark blue hoodie, unzippable down the front. He has two or three that he alternates between, and hence he's not usually seen wearing much else. Upon very rare occasions, Adam has been spotted wearing various hockey jerseys, and rumors say that he's got an extensive collection, but nobody sees him wearing them all that much.

Adam has a multitude of scarring spanning a great deal of his body. His left ear has been surgically reconstructed, and while it resembles a real ear to anyone who gives it a passing glance, it's really just a hunk of flesh that resembles an ear to anyone who looks any closer. That, of course, is the main reason that Adam wears his hair longer. His left arm has a long scar in the upper portion, and while it has healed well, Adam occasionally finds that arm weaker than the other. His left hand has scarring on the palm, but it isn't that noticable to those who shake his hand. His left shoulder also is scarred right across the top, almost like someone took a magic marker and ran a line right across it. The wound was not a serious one, but the scarring remains, and is indeed something people have noticed before. Over the rest of his body, small nicks and abraisions have healed over time but left small scars to remind Adam of their presence. Finally, his chest still remains slightly discoloured with a bluish hue, bruises that never seemed to disappear.

'''Biography:''' Adam Dodd used to be a happy-go-lucky kind of guy, the kind of guy that was the type of person that everyone knew as a 'really good guy'. He enjoyed making his friends laugh and was the kind of person who was quick with a joke to make people feel better in sadder times. Adam had a very genuine love for life, and considered himself an optimist. He used to overthink everything, and his penchant for overthinking situations would often frustrate him and make him miserable. Adam was the kind of person that everyone knew and enjoyed hanging around with; not really popular but rather someone everyone knew and liked.

That was how Adam Dodd used to be.

June 19th, 2005 was the second-most important day in Adam Dodd's life.

On June 19th, 2005, one hundred and twenty teenagers from around the world were kidnapped into what was seen as the largest scale terrorist attack that the world had ever seen. The sheer number of kidnappings was the reason it was seen as such a horrific event. The United States, who suffered the heaviest loss, was at a loss to negotiate with the terrorist known as Danya, who didn't even seem to have a feasible list of demands. He simply wanted to make a statement, or so it seemed. Danya and his team placed the hundred and twenty teenagers on a deserted island in an unknown part of the world and forced them to kill each other, until there was one survivor. To add insult to injury, he then hijacked several television satellites and broadcast the 'competition' world-wide. Many thought it was a new kind of reality television show, which was exactly what Danya had hoped. The government was powerless to stop it, and the ordeal lasted ten days, until finally, on June 29th, 2005, the finally kill was scored and only one teenager remained.

June 29th was the most important day of Adam Dodd's life because it was the day that he became the sole survivor of what would be dubbed as the 'Survival of the Fittest tragedy'.

Three days later, Adam was returned to the United States without any memory or recollection of how. The terrorists managed to vanish into the wind, not to be heard from again. The government was baffled, and a massive reward was posted for the apprehension of Danya and his cohorts, but nothing ever managed to come of it.

After arriving home, Adam found himself severely traumatized by the events. The recurring nightmares persisted for weeks, and the physical scars took months to heal. Adam's psychologists and doctors weren't optimistic that the emotional and mental scars would ever go away, and at the very least that they would take years to heal. In the year after SOTF, Adam was officially diagnosed with PTSD, or Post-Traumatic-Stress Disorder. Following this diagnosis, Adam's family (who by this time had moved back to Canada) began to take steps to hold him back a year from school, in order to cope with his experiences. Much to their shock, Adam vehemently objected to this, insisting that he be allowed to continue. Against their better judgement, they agreed, and Adam returned to school the following September.

Much to the surprise of just about everyone, Adam's grades actually managed to improve than what they'd been before the incident. Thanks to the insomnia that can be associated with sufferers of PTSD, Adam used much of this time to complete his homework assignments, managing to do a solid job on almost all of them. It took Adam just over the requisite three months to overcome the most severe symptoms of his acute PTSD, but some still recur to this day.

Adam suffered a small recurrance of his PTSD midway through grade eleven when it was discovered that two of his best friends had been kidnapped and were participating in the second SOTF, while on an exchange program in the US. Both did not survive the program.

Following the completion of his grade eleven year, Adam recieved a visit from a pair of high-ranking United States Government officials. The men essentially apologized for the kidnapping incident and offerred Adam a compensation package. Evidently, a university in Southern Califonia was very interested in having Adam attend their school, as someone who might be able to give insights upon terrorism and strategies for combatting it, with special focus on a new program devoted entirely towards investigating what could be done to safeguard against the SOTF tragedy from occurring again. Adam would move to California, be given a house free of charge for his family and him to live in, and would recieve free tuition, as well as non-taxable status. Somewhat surprised by the offer, Adam took his time to consider it. Both of his parents did not want him to go, as they felt that moving to the United States was something that they did not want to do. Eventually, Adam decided that finding a way to indirectly fight terrorism was something that he wanted to do, especially if it meant managing to bring down Danya, the figure that haunted his nightmares in the process.

Upon agreeing to the offer, Adam explained to his parents that he didn't expect for them to pick up and move from Canada again. In fact, Adam stated that since he was eighteen years old, moving out on his own might be something that he'd like to try and do. After much discussion, his parents relented, promising thought that they'd be visiting once a month, something to which they kept firm and upheld on.

Upon starting grade twelve, Adam found himself having to start over again...for the third time. Everywhere he went, it seemed that the initial reaction to his presence was that of shock. He had a strange kind of infamy that almost bordered upon celebrity. However, instead of rejecting it and becoming reclusive, Adam had other ideas upon what to do with it.

Today, Adam Dodd still has a strange sort of popularity. Instead of being popular in the traditional sense, he remains someone that everyone knows. He still holds a few close friends, but has a hard time attaching himself to people, as in his experience, they don't live long enough to become his lifelong friends. Now, he is the person that everyone knows, and are almost wary of. Nobody says anything negative towards him, for fear of how he'll react. In fact, that's something that pisses Adam off a little bit, mainly because he feels that they aren't being honest with him.

Adam's now very sarcastic and sardonic, having an air of bitterness about him, that comes from his prior experience. There are still times when his prior self pokes its head through the clouds, and Adam tries his hardest to be like he used to be, but he knows that to revert completely back to his old self is essentially impossible.

Adam is known as an impassioned public speaker, especially when speaking out against terrorism or SOTF. At the beginning of the school year, Adam started an anti-SOTF club at his school, encouraging as many people as possible to join in, so that the true horrors of the program could emerge. Adam did this right at the beginning, when he learned of the general perception that SOTF was a glorified reality television show, something that he knew could not be further from the truth. His club helped dispel this rumor amongst those that joined, and he has often been invited to speak on the subject at other high schools in the area.

While surviving such an experience might have left some people quiet and reclusive, Adam has a surprising degree of self-confidence. He no longer overthinks everything, and finds himself coming to 'hard' decisions far more easily now than he ever did before. He often tries very hard to fit in amongst his peers, but finds it slightly more difficult now than he used to.

While much about him has changed, some things have stayed the same. Adam remains a good listener, and those that count him as a close friend feel that they are lucky to have him as a friend. Adam is still a naturally kind person, though it's been tempered a little bit. He still always means well, even if it gets lost in the translation between his traumatized mind and his peers.

While his PTSD has mainly disappeared, Adam is still slightly jumpy, being startled easily, and still has occasional recurring nightmares about the first SOTF. While he now is able to sleep through a night, he often dreams about the best friends that he misses so often; those being Hawley, Madelaine, Amanda, Andrew, Adam, and Andrew.

Some people find it hard to associate with Adam due to the well-known fact that he has committed twelve different murders and gone unpunished for it. Adam is disturbed at the lack of feeling he has for this, but has learned to accept it. He still feels remorse from time to time, but only when he dwells upon it (which doesn't happen often).

'''Advantages:''' He's lived through one SOTF competition and knows what to expect. He has no problem with killing to survive, as he's already killed twelve people the first time around. Thanks to the first experience, he's got experience with many kinds of different weapons and is somewhat proficient with handling a shotgun. Adam is still intelligent, and is still socially apt, and will likely be able to organize a group quite well, thanks mainly to his 'celebrity'. He's in far better shape this time around. Fought tooth and claw for his life in the first one and succeeded, so he's bound to fight even harder this time.

'''Disadvantages:''' That 'celebrity' could be his downfall. Motivators might feel that killing the winner of the first SOTF could be something that makes them better than the competition, and eliminates what would likely be one of the larger threats for them to win the competition. May have a recurrance of his PTSD upon realiizing his situation, which could cause him to fall apart completely. His left side is physically weaker than his right, thanks to the injuries he sustained last time, and this could present a problem to him. Isn't as well-liked as he was in his previous school, and his fellow students could have a hard time trusting him. Could end up going most of it alone.

== Survival of the Fittest ==
Survival of the Fittest is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Royale Battle Royale] based roleplaying site. The premise of the game is simple: you are a student who, along with the rest of your class, has been thrown onto an island, fitted with an explosive collar, issued a weapon, and given the ultimate ultimatum: kill or be killed. Survival of the Fittest, more commonly known as "SOTF", differs from its inspiration in that unlike most BR-oriented roleplays, SOTF has its own unique storyline, unique characters, and a whole plethora of unexpected happenings. Interested yet? You should be. Battle Royale never got this extreme.

Survival of the Fittest: Version 1 has come and gone. The original roleplay lasted from June 19th, 2005 until August 26th, 2006. In August, construction on the ending for the first version of SOTF commenced. As of the current date, Version 1's "Endgame" has been released to the public. Boy #77: [[Adam Dodd]] beat out [[Cody Jenson]], [[Sidney Crosby]], and [[Jack O'Connor]] to win SOTF v1. The second game began on October 30, 2006. Version 2 was scaled down from the global event that Version 1 was. Instead, four schools, all out of the metropolitan area of Denton, New Jersey, were captured and placed in the game.

The second in Danya's series of deadly games is finally over. After roughly nine days of fighting on the island, Boy #12, [[Bryan Calvert]], defeated [[Mariavel Varella]] to become the sole survivor and win SOTF v2. Now that the winner has emerged, all that is left is to wait for the official ending to be released. V3 has begun, and is in full swing as we anticipate the exciting end of v2, and the fun yet to come in v3!

When you link a Character's journey, this helps people track the story of said character, as well as makes things easier for the staff to conduct the inactivity sweeps. There are two ways to go about linking the journey:

You may write the [b]title[/b] thread of the next topic your character participates in.

or

You can link the topic with the title, much like you link any other outside link. For those that don't know how, here's a tutorial for that.

[SIZE=7][u]URL Links[/u][/SIZE]

1. Click the [b]http://[/b] code button.
2. When it prompts you to enter the URL, copy and paste the new thread's link into the box.
3. Click OK
4. When it prompts you to enter the Website title, enter the title of the topic that you linked.
5. Click OK

Link Finished.

You may do this for backtracking topics as well, but the forwarding links are the most important, and should be kept up with.

[SIZE=7][u]Continued Elsewhere and the Likes[/u][/SIZE]

Continued Elsewhere should only be used [i]temporarily[/i] as a forwarding link, otherwise staffers believe that you have not yet moved on to the next topic. This may get you a spot on the inactive list very quickly, as well as on our bad sides. At the very least, you must go back and put a title to give us a heads up.

As SOTF picks up the pace and kicks the intensity up a notch, we quickly find ourselves with new writers, new talent, and new characters. Today, I'm going to talk about new characters, or, more specifically, what you should and should not do when filling in the biography (read: past) section for your characters. SOTF's been around for a long time, and we've been subjected to all sorts of characters, ranging from the compelling and realistic to the completely outrageous. My job, in this guide, is to explain to you the properties and attributes that can make or break your character... and that starts with their biography.

So, you've gotten an idea for your character, filled in his or her appearance, and suddenly, you find yourself staring at that pesky little "Biography:" section that you're supposed to turn into a giant wall of text. It's a little daunting, ain't it? Well, fear not, because that's where I come in! Now obviously, I'm not gonna fill in the blanks for you. What I AM going to do is give you the knowledge, tools, and suggestions necessary to write a good (and realistic!) character biography. Below, I'll cover the do's and don'ts of writing a biography.

DO tell us about some important events in your character's life. STOP! Read the following sentence. Tell us about important events in your character's life, do NOT make up ridiculous, overdramatized events to make your character more interesting! What would I consider important events? Obviously, something like a parent/sibling passing away would be an important event, but don't spam your profiles with dead relatives, it's stupid. An "important event" in a character bio is something that makes your character who they are. For example, when they got the puppy they grew up with, or when that special someone bought them a present they've treasured ever since. They could've also broken a bone or taken an interest in athletics. An "important event" isn't always classified as something completely over-the-top, so don't make it into that.

DO write about your character's family. Unless your character is an orphan, which we don't see too often, they have at least one parent. Are their parents still together? Do they live with their mom and step-dad? Dad and step-mom? Do they have any siblings? How does your character get along with his or her parents? Where do their parents work? Naturally, if they're doctors or lawyers, it's going to make a lot more sense for your character to be upper middle-class or higher than if their mom worked at a grocery store and their dad was a dishwasher. Even a short paragraph telling about your character's relationship to their family can set the stage for how they interact in a social setting. If they're completely unsociable with their family, for example, they might find solace in the group of delinquents who continually disobey their parents too.

DO give your character relationships. Most of The other handlers on the forum don't bite. If you PM them and go "I need my new character Marten to have friends. Think you can help me out?" They're probably going to go read the biography and get back to you with "He sounds like he'd be a good match for my Phillip." We even have a board in which you can post topics like that, and people are good about responding to you. Most high school students have friends, maybe a few enemies or people that they dislike, most of them (especially at the grade we're roleplaying in) have a crush, a significant other, something to that effect. I don't know too many high schoolers who are totally asexual, myself. That's something to keep in mind as you're writing out your character bio.

DO give your character a passion. Josh loves football. Kyla desperately wants a boyfriend. Tony wants to be a firefighter. Vandy loves animals. It's part of what makes your character... your character. Everyone has aspirations, motivations, things that drive them and things that they enjoy. Your character should too. It can be anything from a desire to make good grades in school to the want to get married to the want to go to college. Some people have passions and goals that might be hard to obtain, like being an aerospace engineer, while others might be content with just finding a girlfriend. Either way, giving your character something to desire makes them all the more human, and that's the goal.

DO write about your character's strengths and weaknesses. Johnny's an A+ student in school. Unfortunately, he completely lacks a life outside of his bedroom and is all but socially-inept. Nicole's a beautiful girl. Unfortunately, she's as dumb as a post. We as humans have good and bad traits. Your character should have the same. After all, nobody's perfect in every way. And you don't have to use stereotypical combinations like the ones I listed above, either. Loni's a strong-willed and very independent girl. However, she's very indecisive. That's an example of something rather unconventional. You can some up with your own set of strengths and weaknesses for your character. Just make sure that they have some of each.

---

DON'T write an overdramatic character biography. The fact is, everyone wants their character to be an interesting, compelling, and attention-grabbing individual. To be honest, you probably aren't going to get that by having the most overdramatic, unrealistic backstory out there. Remember that SOTF is about a bunch of high school kids kidnapped and forced to fight to the death. Let the drama happen in the game, and keep it out of your character biographies. That doesn't mean you have to make your bio bland. The point of writing a biography is to convey information about the character and allow the readers to draw their conclusions about the character based on that. Overdramatic, exaggerated pasts lead to overdramatic, unfeasible characters.

DON'T use clichéd pasts. This ties in very heavily with what I said above. There are a few very common clichéd pasts that come up in every single version of SOTF. One is the atypical "Daddy beats me so I'm a delinquent" cliché. Other things that I personally don't like to see is "I've killed in the past, I can do it again!" and "I have no empathy or feeling toward other people". When you're writing a character out and coming up with these ideas, ask yourself this. Do you know anybody like that character? Anybody at all? You probably don't, and that's why I tell you to avoid these clichés. Personally? I don't know anybody that's killed anyone, and I'm willing to bet you don't either. Plus, you can be assured that somebody has already used that cliché anyway, and how many schools have you ever heard of that had a bunch of murderers in class? Exactly.

DON'T create pre-made crazies. While this is okay every once in a while (mostly depending on the skill of the writer), I don't like to see this too often. The fact is, if your character were completely out-of-control and psychotic prior to the game, they would most definitely NOT be attending a public high school, they'd be locked away and considered a hazard to society. What CAN you get away with? Once again, this really depends on your ability as a writer. There are all sorts of personality disorders out there that you can play with, and there are all sorts of them that can be curbed by the use of medication. The people that have them usually lead normal lives. But, if you're really intent on creating someone who's a total loony-toon, they can always lose that medication when they get on the island, right?

DON'T give your character traits or abilities that any normal teenage student wouldn't have. Kate isn't allowed to fly. Jacen isn't going to be a kung-fu master. Shane isn't the world's greatest guitar player. Harley can't be a swordmaster with ninja-like reflexes. Know why? Because SOTF is based on reality, and I don't know anyone who can do any of that at seventeen. Luke can't have killed twenty-three people in five minutes. Shellie isn't really a princess from Ajerbajakuristan. Rocky isn't a clone of the pope. Use common sense in your biography and don't try to put something outrageous and completely implausible in there, the staff will just call you on it and make you change it anyway.

DON'T write one thing about your character and then have them do another in-game. If Joy is quiet and shy in her biography, then she shouldn't be the biggest slut in school in-game. If Colin's bio says he's gay, he shouldn't be hitting on every woman he comes across in-game. These are things that should be common sense, but we see things like this happening a lot in-game. It's good to leave your character room to grow and develop, and lots of people have transitioned their character from optimistic and hopeful to broken and pessimistic by the end of the game. That's easy to do. But don't create a character who is described as being hateful and mean in her biography and make her sweet and kind in-game. Keep your character in character.

As we step foot on the new soil of V3, I find myself receiving questions about god-modding from more than one handler on the forum, and thus, have decided to write a short little guide to help some of you become better acquainted with this word and the meaning behind it. Even from V1, SOTF has been adamantly set against god-modding or any variation thereof, but even so, it has still occurred, most of the time inadvertantly, from V1 onward. So, to those of you who are curious about what exactly this word means, I hope this guide will shed some light on that, and hopefully clear up some of those shades of grey for those of you who don't quite understand.

First and foremost, the word "godmod" has many different meanings. Listed below are the ones relevent to our roleplay.

1. Godlike modification.
2. To control another person's roleplaying on an internet forum or chatroom.
3. To control a character who is, for all intents and purposes, invincible. That is to say, no attacks or techniques will work against said character and s/he recovers instantly from anything that happens to him or her.
4. To use your character to decimate other characters without giving them the chance to fight back. For example, "Janie shot her crossbow at Marcus who dodged the close-range shot with ease before running up to her and ripping her arm completely off."

The definitions found on godmodding, unsurprisingly, define the most outrageous type of godmodding -- one in which the godmodding is [i]very[/i] obvious to all parties involved. But, that isn't the only kind of godmodding. In SOTF, [b]godmodding is defined as putting another player in a situation where there is no realistic alternative but to be injured/killed/etc.[/b] Everybody with me there? Yes, godmodding is writing "Tony shot Kenneth in the head" without Kenneth's handler's permission, but godmodding is also writing "Tony backed Kenneth into the corner of the room and fired his submachine gun." While you didn't say Tony killed Kenneth, Kenneth's handler has no alternative except to make Kenneth die unless he too godmods his way out of it by saying that Kenneth can dodge a round of submachine gun bullets at close range.

Godmodding doesn't always come from the character on the offensive, either. Say a random character comes into your topic and fires an entire clip of bullets at you. Your character swiftly reacts by running behind a tree to evade the stray bullets, although several pierce the bark of the tree around him. Is that godmodding? No. That, my friends, is character preservation. So how does your character -- the one on the defensive -- manage to commit godmodding during a scenario such as that? Well, there are two ways that it happens. Number one -- "All of Rodney's shots missed Pedro". But Meg, are you telling me that if some maniac comes in and starts firing at me that I HAVE to get hit or I'm not playing fair? No, silly rabbit! I'm telling you that if someone is firing maniacally at your character and they're just STANDING there, odds are, they're going to get hit at LEAST once. Lemme tell you, I'm a god awful shot with a gun, but if I fire enough times I'll eventually hit my target.

Keep that in mind when someone is shooting at you. A moving target is much more difficult to hit than a stationary one, so doing something so simple as saying your character ran/ducked/fell/whatever makes the dodge a lot more realistic than simply writing as though every single shot their opponent fired missed by a mile. One shot, sure, it's believable that they simply missed -- these are kids, not snipers, after all, but the more shots they fire, the more likely you're going to get hit if you're standing there staring dumbfoundedly at them. The second way to godmod while on the defensive -- and something that really grinds my gears, to boot, happens somehow along these lines:

[b]Player 1:[/b] Matt ran at his opponent, knife at the ready, and lunged into the air, swinging his arm down in an arc and attempting to stab him in the shoulder in order to disable him.
[b]Player 2:[/b] Johnson ran at Matt and executed an uppercut.

Complete disregard of the other person's action is a form of godmodding, and a very annoying one, at that. If you don't want to thoroughly and completely read posts and make sure that you understand what's going on, I'd suggest you not roleplay at all. But, what if that person's roleplay was unclear and you don't know what's going on? Well, that's what God made the PM box for. Ask them. Actions such as these are so very easy to correct, and a few words inserted or omitted can form a fine line between godmodding and simply roleplaying. If someone is running at you and jumping up to stab you, logically, you aren't going to run back toward them to try and uppercut them. Don't disregard your fellow roleplayers actions, or else you'll find yourself at a loss on roleplaying partners.

There are several other forms of godmodding, and for some of them, you don't even have to be roleplaying with another handler!

But how does that work, you ask? Simple. "Godmod". Godlike modification. If your character is injured, they're injured. Period. Statement. Declarative sentence. If Lora's ankle is broken it doesn't magically heal itself so she can fight her arch-nemesis Tammy. Her ankle stays just as broken as it was three seconds before she ran into Tammy. If you have a big, gaping bullethole in your arm, YOU HAVE A BIG, GAPING BULLETHOLE IN YOUR ARM. It hurts like hell, it affects your mobility, because, like I said, there's a HOLE. In your ARM. And it STAYS there. And causes PAIN. And... stuff. I see this a lot. I'm not telling you that every post you write after you get shot has to consist of "OMFG my arm HUUUUURTS!". What I [b]am[/b] telling you, friends, is that an injury is an injury and should be a factor in how you roleplay. You're not going to be able to wield that baseball bat nearly as good with a jacked up arm as you did when you were all hunky dorey.

"Okay, so if I get injured, I need to factor that into my roleplaying." Correct. "What else qualifies as godmodding?" Well, the next version of godmodding I'm going to address is rarely referred to as godmodding on the SOTF boards. It is something that we here at SOTF have dubbed "mind-reading". The title of this offense is probably self-explanatory enough, and although this isn't as severe a form of godmodding as killing characters without their permission, it's by far one of the most frustrating types of godmods to have to deal with. Mind-reading is much like you could only assume it would be. [b]Mind-reading occurs when a handler's characters mysteriously just 'know' knowledge they shouldn't have access to.[/b]

Some of you know exactly what I'm talking about, but some other people might be going "... Like what?", so I'll explain. It can be any number of things, really. For example, if Brent knows what went on during Richard and Ashleigh's date, even though he wasn't there and they stayed home and watched a movie. That's one example of mindreading. Why? Because Brent wasn't there. Another example of godmodding (that shouldn't be too much of an issue in V2) that was mostly presented during V1 was this one:

[b]Gloria:[/b] "I know you!"
[b]Chris:[/b] "Uh, me...?"
[b]Gloria:[/b] "Yes, you're the guy that killed all my friends!"

Now, in V3 where all the students attended the same school and thus are at least familiar with one another, this dialogue wouldn't be a big deal. However, the scenario in V1 was often one where Gloria and Chris attended completely different schools and had never encountered one another before. Even if she knew that a guy named Chris killed her friends, she'd have no way of identifying him, and considering he didn't even tell her his name, she'd be shooting blindly into the dark. The main problem we should ever encounter in V3 would be characters knowing that so-and-so killed Student A before it was announced, and that's pretty easy to remember not to do.

Other examples of mind-reading include but are not limited to knowing what weapon another character has automatically (without the aid of announcements -- if Danya says that Kid #1 was shot by Kid #2, then it's pretty obvious that Kid #2 has a gun), being able to see through the facade another character is putting on (such as portraying themselves as a victim when they were actually a killer) provided that said character isn't described as being a bad actor, knowing specific details about a character or their past that your character has never been told (e.g. Carrie knows that Wesley raped his ex-girlfriend despite the fact that she didn't personally know Wesley, his ex, or anyone involved in the affair). Probably the most common one of these I've seen has been characters who can mysteriously see through others' facades, even though those other people were noteworthy actors. Unless your character is very distrustful of people in general or has a very, VERY keen ability to read the people they come into contact with, if Lisa tells you that the guy she murdered assaulted her and she killed him to protect herself, your character should have no reason to doubt that.

It can be hard not to mind-read when we as handlers see everything that goes on in the roleplay. Sometimes, what we've read passes over to our characters and they somehow manage to inherit the information. That's why we have to watch mind-reading. It's not something people actively realize they're doing a lot of the time. When you see Sara's thoughts and the whole time she's telling your character Gene her sob story she's thinking about the malicious way she's going to kill him, it's hard to respond to her words rather than what's going on in her mind, but the fact is that Gene would have no idea what Sara's really thinking, even if you as the handler do.

So, long story short, those are the most prominent examples of godmodding that I've seen over the past versions of SOTF, and those were the ones I felt needed to be covered for those of you who are curious as to what, exactly, godmodding is. I hope you've found the information within this tutorial useful, and if you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. After all, that's what the staff is here for, and we're always happy to help! Besides, you never know, somebody else might be asking the same question you are.

Brief Life Story

It is very important to write a biography for your character. The more detail you create, the deeper you can make your character, and this rich history will be such a rich source of information that it will change and evolve your story accordingly.

Make sure to keep in mind:
- How did your character get here from there?
- What was their life like before the story began?
- What was growing up like for them?
- Did they have a good or bad childhood?
- What struggles have that had, or hardships they have overcome?
- Has their life worked out like they expected?
- Has their life been difficult or easy until now?
- Were they forced into their current path, or are they here by choice?
- Do they have regrets?
- What special circumstances have made them into who they are today?
- Did anything happen in their past that they cannot forget or live down, or that has deeply changed them or scarred them in some way? (warning: do not create cheap Freudian backstory as motivation for your characters! i.e. "His mother beat him as a child, and now he hates all women." "She was once robbed at gunpoint, and now has a irrational fear of guns." People are more complex than this. If such a traumatic event happened in their lives, then make the psychological or emotional consequence unexpected rather than exactly what any five-year-old would instantly assume.)

From The Book of Questions

A further source of great questions to ask your characters is the brilliant work The Book of Questions. This is filled with juicy and thought-provoking questions that explore personal philosophy, morality, politics, knee-jerk reactions, secret fantasies, wishes, and much more. It's also a great party activity to sit around with your friends and pass the book around as you each take turns selecting questions for all to answer.

A. If your character were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would they most regret not having told someone? Why haven't they told them yet?

B. Would your character accept $1,000,000 to leave the county and never set foot in it again?

C. Your character is given the power to kill people simply by thinking of their deaths and twice repeating the word "good-bye." People would die a natural death and no one would suspect them. Are there any situations in which they would use this power? [If they can imagine themselves killing someone indirectly, could they still see doing it if they had to look into the person's eyes and stab the person to death? Have they ever genuinely wanted to kill someone or wished them dead?]

D. What would constitute a "perfect" evening for your character?

E. Would your character rather be extremely successful professionally and have a tolerable yet unexciting private life, or have an extremely happy private life and only a tolerable and uninspiring professional life? [Since so many people place great emphasis on a happy private life, why do people often wind up putting more energy into their professional lives? If you feel that their private life is more important to your character, do their priorities support this? Are they simply unwilling to admit that work is more important? Do they use work as a substitute? Do they hope professional success will somehow magically lead to personal happiness?]

F. If your character could wake up tomorrow having gained any one ability or quality, what would it be?

G. Your character has the chance to meet someone with whom they can have the most satisfying love imaginable - the stuff of dreams. Sadly, they know that in six months the person will die. Knowing that pain that would follow, would they still want to meet that person and fall in love? What if they knew their lover would not die, but instead would betray them? [In love, is intensity or permanence more important to them? How much do they expect from someone who loves them? What would make them feel betrayed by their mate - indifference? Dishonesty? Infidelity?

H. Does your character prefer being around men or women? Do their closest friends tend to be men or women?

I. Would your character be willing to murder an innocent person if it would end hunger in the world? [Would it torment them more to have the blood of an innocent person on their hands or to know they let millions of people die? What do they think of people who achieve great things by compromising their principles? Many are will to give their own lives but not to take the life of another; is anything so important they would sacrifice their very soul for it?]

J. What is their most treasured memory?

K. If your character knew there would be a nuclear war in one week, what would they do?

L. What is the greatest accomplishment of your character's life? Is there anything they hope to do that is even better?

M. One would be the one material item your character would save during a fire?

N. Your character is offered $1,000,000 for the following act: before them are ten pistols - only one of which is loaded. They must pick up one of the pistols, point it at their forehead, and pull the trigger. If they can walk away they do so a millionaire. Would they accept the risk?

O. If your character could choose the manner of their death, what would it be? [Would they die a hero's death, die a martyr to some great cause, die in a natural catastrophe, or die peacefully? Why is it so tempting to have death catch us in our sleep?]

P. For what in your character's life do they feel most grateful?

Q. How forgiving is your character?

R. When your character tells a story, do they often exaggerate or embellish it? If so, why?

S. How much does your character feel in control of the course of their life?

T. Is it easy for your character to ask for help when they need it? Will they ask for help?

U. Would your character like to be famous? In what way?

V. What are your character's most compulsive habits? Do they regularly struggle to break those habits?

W. What does your character strive for most in their life: accomplishment, security, love, power, excitement, knowledge, or something else?

X. How easily embarrassed is your character?

Y. Does the fact that your character has never done something before increase or decrease its appeal to them?

Z. How many different sexual partners has your character had in their life? Would they prefer to have had more or fewer?

[u] Introduction [/u]

One of the more common questions we as experienced role players get is "How do you make your posts so good?", while this is a compliment and we as the complimentees are bound by common courtesy not to answer it, I as the infamous Pimp Name Slickback (formerly known as Slacker, formerly known as Queen Asshat, formerly known as Slacker, formerly known as Rainbow Brite, and formally known as Slacker once more) decided that I will attempt to endeavor to answer this question.

Quality vs. Quanity is something that we all come into contact with, it’s a constant battle between ourselves and how people perceive our writing, we constantly find ourselves apologizing if our post is “to short” and we find ourselves feeling even guiltier if people tell us bluntly “Wall of text O_O”. How do we prevent this? What role does quantity play in a post?

To put it bluntly it plays a big role, but not in the traditional sense. Length and good posts seem to go hand in hand, by no means though does this mean that short posts are bad. I would personally say that 300 is the magic number, 300 words allows you to have enough room to do three things: A thought process, a few lines of dialogue, and of course the most important part, the action itself.

[u] Thought Process [/u]

Thought process I would say gives you the most impact. It is something that usually won’t play a big role in the actual events in the thread, but it will give all of us as readers insight onto what you’re character is thinking. It can be used to show subtlety in your characters ever growing insanity, would Adam Dodd be considered an Anti-Hero if we where completely ostracized from his thought process? I would say that he would seem just slightly better than Jacob Starr or if I may, just as crazy as Cillian Crowe.

Thought Process should be approached in one ways, is it relevant? By all means make your thought process erratic, but relevance should be important, only Mitch Gunther would be thinking of cheese with a gun to his head, Only one student can claim to be Mitch Gunther and only one out of the thirty seven members can claim to control his thoughts. Your characters thought process is not meant to show the communication with other characters, but to show your characters reaction with themselves.

Your character shoots somebody, their thought process directly coincides how they’re perceived by us the reader, are they a villain? If so they should be having a thought process that lacks empathy and if they’re a hero they should show conflict, self hatred, and most of all a bit of sadness. Remember, do not be afraid of writing less, say what needs to be said that gives us all an intricate understanding of your character. Remember, if we cannot understand WHY your character is doing these things (which your thought process will reveal) then you have failed as both a storyteller and an RPer.

[u] Dialogue [/u]

We as humans rely on spoken language for everything. Our connotations, our facial expressions, and the loudness of our voice can make a normally polite sentence be taken completely different. On the internet this is particularly hard to show to our fellow RPers and it’s even more difficult to show via people who are not us than it is to show when we are speaking. The dialogue is crucial to making a scene, it is one of the “actions” in which the character will respond to.

Normally in written work colloquial speech is looked down upon, but in dialogue it is something that we encourage. Not all of the kids in your school speak in perfect sentences, not all of them speak in the same accent, and not all of them have the same range of vocabulary. How odd is it when you’re reading a post and all of a sudden a character uses a word like “Austere”, it sort of removes you from the feel that these are not high school students.

While colloquial speech is encouraged another thing if abused is the “speech”. In normal conversation how many words do you speak at one time? A couple sentences? A few Words? A character constantly answering every question with a speech is not only annoying, but unrealistic. A nice rant is good in moderation, but if done excessively it can be just as bad as simple animalistic grunts.

I assume that dialogue and thought process will be in each and every posts, however some posts require not only some spoken word, but some action as well, in the next section that will be addressed.

[u] Actions [/u]

Actions are another important thing, in fact one of the most common comments you get is “Just make sure your actions are open ended” and when revolving actions aimed at other characters. However the actions your character makes are also an issue.

Every time your character is doing something write it down or the reader will have to assume that your character is just a robot, standing there. Anyone with that amount of concentration, anyone who can yell at someone and remain perfectly still is someone to be applauded, I however am detached from the role play when stuff like that happens.

A simple rule about actions would be “Is this realistic?” and the first question your should ask yourself is “What would I do in this situation?” , then simply adjust the variables of the characters personality with your own. That method (albeit a little elementary) will almost be a sure fire way to guarantee high quality actions.

[u] Summary [/u]

A good post is comprised of three things: Thought Process, action, and dialogue. These things when put into conjunction will give your character a more realistic feel to it (and remember realism = good on SOTF). As far as post size goes, I would say that 300 words would be the ideal, however do not feel bound to this. Say what you have to do and if it’s 250 words or 25,000 words it will be fine.

D0ddi0slave:

In this guide, a list of tips and tricks to expand both your characters and your ability as a roleplayer, as well as a list of actions to avoid doing (in and out of character) will be listed. If you've anything to add or detract from the below list, feel free to PM me (Megami) or one of the other staff members and we'll be more than happy to put your two cents in, as well as ours!

[u][b]Section I: Profiles[/b][/u]

[b]*Update and expand.[/b] Update your profile on a regular basis. Expand it. Make changes. Add new parts. Eliminate old parts that no longer seem to fit the character. So many people fail to do this, and it can contribute greatly to the successful approval of your character when Version 2 applications begin. Lots of handlers don't realize that the random facts that they state while roleplaying, such as "Mark is a virgin." or "Susie is allergic to peanuts." can actually be expanded upon in their biographies and can help to make the character more well-rounded and believable.

[b]*Don't create palette swaps of your character.[/b] This is stated later on as well, but if all three of your characters are basically reincarnations of the original with the same personality and very similiar mannerisms/attitudes toward the game, people are going to get bored with your characters. If someone dies, let the character rest in peace, don't resurrect them in the form of a new character. Come up with something new and different -- something you haven't done before. You already know what sort of character you're good at playing, so expand yourself as a writer and go for something you aren't used to playing.

[b]*Be realistic.[/b] This is me speaking to you not as a tutor but as a moderator. If your character is 15 years old, has the looks of Mitsuko Souma, the heartlessness of Kazuo Kiriyama, the past experience of Shogo Kawada, and has killed 23 people before they were abducted and thrown into the SOTF ACT, odds are, they aren't going to be approved come character application approval time. Why? They're unrealistic. We at Survival of the Fittest strive for as much realism as possible in our roleplays, so it's up to the administration to filter out the good characters from those who are created simply to suit their handlers needs for the program. We aren't going to approve an unrealistic application because "you're new and don't know any better". Think about that. Characters who have killed numerous people are probably not going to be approved -- whereas characters who are simply juvenile delinquents have a much higher acceptance rate.

[b]*Try out new characters and personalities.[/b] What I tell you now, I tell you from my own experience. Odds are, you're going to have a lot of fun if you push your own limits and experiment with characters whose personality types you aren't used to portraying. You already know that you're good at the popular prep, for example, so make a character who's the bottom of the bottom and see how well you can portray them. I see many of my own characters repeating the same basic concepts -- beauty, naivete, innocence, purity -- and after a while, it gets old. Not only for the handler, but for the readers as well. Don't be afraid to try something you've never done before. Most of the time, you'll find you enjoy pushing yourself to a new level.

[u][b]Section II: Roleplaying[/b][/u]

[b]*Avoid "campy" or corny storylines.[/b] Unless your character is meant to be a sort of comic relief character (read: BR's Yutaka Seto, Version 1's Heather Pendergast), odds are, you aren't going to want to enter into some overly-dramatic, campy storyline. Even if it's just pre-game, you've got to remember that you're illustrating your character's past -- the life that they had before they were forced into the SOTF ACT. Campy storylines can be fun, but oftentimes, they leave your fellow handlers skeptical of your roleplaying abilities.

[b]*Watch continuity.[/b] If your character states a fact during one of your roleplays, make sure you stick with that fact. It can be something as simple as "Phoebe hates the color pink." and then having her entire room be decorated in pink; or as large as "Frank's a homophobe." and then he having an openly gay best friend. It doesn't make sense, and continuity errors are often noticed by your fellow handlers, as they stand out in relation to the rest of the story. People have a tendency to notice flaws and errors before they notice good qualities, so make a conscious effort to avoid errors. Nobody wants to roleplay with a handler who can't even keep their own character straight.

[b]*Stay in character.[/b] Establish the fact that you are not your character. Even if your character is based upon you, they're undergoing completely different circumstances. Make sure that the actions they take and the decisions they make -- both consciously and subconsciously -- reflect their views and not your own. Don't use your character as a mouthpiece for your views and beliefs. It's okay to have a character think the same way that you do, but don't do it with all of your characters. If all of your characters are palette swaps of one another and are ultimately your version of you placed into the SOTF ACT, people are going to get tired of them rather quickly.

[b]*Create a history.[/b] Your character was born and raised in the world we are currently roleplaying before the SOTF ACT. We've been given pre-game to establish and get a feel for our characters, so use that time to establish your character beyond the context of pre-game. They have a past. They've had spats and feuds with classmates. Most of them have friends, and maybe a couple friendships that have fallen out over the years. It's high school. Most people have ex's, sometimes bitter, sometimes their best friend. New roleplayers have a tendency to introduce their character and go from there, never giving us a hint to the past and the life they had beyond the context of the roleplay. Don't do that. Tell us about your character's past through your roleplays -- flash back to events from their childhood, or recent events -- make them more realistic.

[b]*Elaborate.[/b] My Senior year in high school, I had an Honors English teacher who also served as a Freshmen Composition I instructor at the University of Arkansas. I always got frustrated in his class because during many of my drafts, he'd write comments like "Why?" or "So?" next to things I had stated in my writing. He did this, of course, as a means to get me to elaborate more on what I had stated. When you're writing a roleplay, ask yourself questions like "Why?" and "So?" when you're writing. It helps you expand on your characters thoughts and actions, as well as gives you the opportunity to give them a meaning. When you elaborate more on your roleplays instead of doing only the bare minimum, it makes people take more of an interest in your character and your writing.

[b]*One-line roleplays are bad.[/b] I couldn't possibly put that any blunter, but there's no way to sugar-coat that. If you're writing one-line RPs, odds are, you're not putting much effort into your character. Likewise, other people aren't going to care about your character, because you yourself aren't trying as a handler. Even dialogue-oriented roleplayers such as SOTF veteran Sephy post what their characters are thinking or write out actions that their characters take. If you honestly can't come up with anything other than another question/comment on your character's part, wait until someone else has roleplayed. Don't write poor RPs simply because nothing is coming to mind.

[b]*Strive for improvement.[/b] You are not perfect. I am not perfect. d0ddi0slave is not perfect. Never settle for the writing level on which you currently write. When you're content with your skills and don't strive to ever improve, it affects your writing in a negative way. No matter how good you are, you can always be better. Always strive for improvement in your writing, in your characters, and in your storylines. Everyone has to start out somewhere, and we've had handlers evolve drastically on this board from what they once were. Never be content with your skills, and always seek to improve yourself.

[b]*Be original; avoid repetitiveness.[/b] This is me being completely straight with you all -- if you've posted the 6th "Skipping School" titled topic on the board, odds are, I'm not going to read it. Why? I figure it's just a palette swap of the other five skipping school topics that have been created with various characters. Be original in your titles, settings, and events. People don't want to read the same thing over and over with different characters performing the same actions -- it's boring. You can have a scene with two characters on the beach (read: Give Me What I Want; That's Enough for Me) that are completely different and take on a whole different connotation from one another, so be original, and come up with new and different ideas instead of copying previously done storylines.

[b]*Roleplay with everyone.[/b] "But, oh my God, that handler writes 3-4 page roleplays on a regular basis and mine are never over 2 paragraphs long. That's insane! They'll make me look stupid." No they won't. They'll push you to further your roleplaying skills. So just chill out and go with it. They'll give you more action and dialogue to respond to, and if you do it correctly, it'll make your posts longer. Don't stick to roleplaying with new (or in some of our cases, old) people, branch out and roleplay with everyone. Odds are, people who're on the same (and I use this term very loosely) skill level as you are aren't going to push you to write bigger, longer, more elaborate posts. People who have been here longer and are more experienced are going to be the ones to push you to the next level. Most of us so-called veterans, we don't bite (much). We won't completely shun you if you want to roleplay with someone outside of the newcomers.

[b]*Establish your characters as seperate entities.[/b] Unless your characters are conjoined twins (in which case I truly commend you, my friend, as that would be an SOTF first), they weren't conceived by the same egg, borne by the same mother, weren't attached at the hip, and lived two completely seperate lives. Establish your characters outside of one another. Nick and Jessica had a nasty breakup. We get it. Now tell us something we DON'T know, like how Jessica has friends and a life outside of Nick or how Nick's had a crush on another girl since the fifth grade. Your characters are seperate people, don't roleplay them as if they're one.

[b]*Be a plot motivator.[/b] Never be afraid to push the plot forward or in a different direction. If everyone hangs back and does nothing, we wind up with another Hobbsborough fiasco where everyone is sitting around going "What do YOU wanna do today?" "I don't know, what do YOU wanna do today?" "I asked first." "You did not." "So what do you want to do?" And although it's humorous at first, the reader quickly finds themselves pounding their head into their desk from the redundancy of it all. Don't be afraid to seize a storyline, take it by the reigns, and steer it in the direction that you want to go in. Odds are, others will follow en suite, because it's something different from the characters standing their idly blinking at one another.

[b]*Discuss storylines with all participants.[/b] Doesn't this take the randomness out of it? To some extent, I suppose it might. Thing is, if you take the time to discuss and formulate a storyline from the current scenario with your fellow handlers, it's going to do two things -- it's going to make the post itself flow a lot better, and it's going to make it much easier for you to post, because you already know what direction the story is going in. When you have four handlers all trying to take the story in a different direction, things get chaotic, and fast. Discuss posts -- especially crucial ones -- beforehand and establish a frame for the upcoming thread.

[u][b]Section III: Board Conduct[/b][/u]

[b]*Constant OOC in unprofessional.[/b] Obviously, you're going to have out-of-character comments before or after your roleplays sometimes, and that's understandable -- apologizing for the length of time it took you to roleplay or explaining that you're going to be away and unable to post for a few days -- details like that are excusable. However, constantly posting pointless out of character comments (read: "Your character is SO awesome!") in roleplays is not only unprofessional, but it's ridiculously distracting from your writing. You want people to focus on what you're writing, not the comments you're making toward pointless and irrelevant things.

[b]*Be courteous when being "it".[/b] What is "it", anyway? Roleplaying is sort of like playing tag. First, one person goes, writing down their character's dialogue and actions. Then somebody else is "tagged" and it's their turn to post. When it's your turn to post, be courteous. First of all, there's a technical term that we here at Survival of the Fittest call a post whore. Real technical, professional term, right? Back on topic, what does that mean? It means that you're one of those people who post 5 posts to everyone else's 1. That causes your character to be, you know, 5 posts ahead of everyone else's. Not to mention it makes your posts EXTREMELY short because you have like a paragraph of action/dialogue to respond to. Don't do that. Likewise, when it's your turn to post, don't take 2 weeks in doing so. It's not fair to the other handlers you're roleplaying with, and more often than not, people aren't going to take kindly to you forcibly tying up their character. Be courteous and think about the other handlers when it's time for you to post.

[b]*Develop a posting order.[/b] This is sort of tied in with the above tip. It helps to develop a posting order when several handlers are in the same topic, experiencing the same events. For example, Handler A posts, then Handler B posts, then Handler C, then back to Handler A. Developing a posting order ensures that no one handler is going to get too far ahead of the others in the thread, and also ensures that there will be less confusion all around. Of course, this is one of those ideas that are a good idea in theory but flawed in practice because so often people lose their muse or don't have time to post, which ties up on the entire thread. On those occassions, feel free to skip them.

[u][b]Section I: Introduction[/b][/u] [[12intro]]

In an interactive roleplay where your main objective is to slaughter the competition and overcome the odds to become the sole survivor, what purpose does taking a short time-out for realism have? Survival of the Fittest is a roleplay that prides itself on realisticness. However, unlike a lot of Battle Royale oriented roleplays out there, SOTF is not a stat-based roleplay, and your character doesn't die because their HP has dropped to 0. As such, this roleplay requires each participant to have a grip on reality, and a bit of common sense.

In order to perform satisfactorily in a roleplay such as this one, reality must be taken into account in many different aspects. In order to make an impact upon the game, your character must "feel" real to the readers: both in description and in personality. "Keeping it real" also entails reacting and replying realistically to events that affect your character, whether it be a fight in the pre-game roleplay or a shootout in-game. Taking reality into account isn't limited to your character themselves and their actions, but also the consequences for their actions. Each of these topics will be discussed more in depth below.

[u][b]Section II: Realistic Portrayal of your Character[/b][/u] [[2real]]

[b]A. Appearance[/b] [[realapp]]
What does the way your character looks have to do with keeping it real, you ask? Quite a lot, actually. The very basics of reality begin here, at the character's appearance. Rewind (or fast forward, in some of your cases) to the time when you were an awkward 15 year old kid. Were you made to walk the catwalk or pose in Abercrombie? Probably not. Most of us weren't. While there are always a select few students who possess stunningly good looks from a young age onward, most of us didn't. As such, this should be taken into account when you create your character. Of course, as we grew older, most of us found our niche... what looks good on us, what we shouldn't ever be caught dead in, the style that best suits us. The older your character is, the more likely it is that they've found their "look". Age is a large factor in defining a realistic image of your character.

Several issues concerning appearance and being realistic while creating a character have been covered in detail in Chapter 1 of this guide by Naki. To reiterate, think about body proportions as you're creating your character. A female standing at 5'9" and weighing 110 pounds is going to be sickeningly thin. A guy standing at 5'5" and weighing 260 pounds is going to be a lot more fat than muscle. Girls who were an extra small t-shirt and size 1 jeans aren't going to have enormous breasts. Keep factors such as those in mind when working on your character's appearance to ensure that their appearance is believable.

[b]B. Personality[/b] [[realper]]
How on earth do you go about giving your character a "realistic" personality? On some level, this is merely common sense. How many social recluses do you see having an enthralling conversation with the popular crowd? How many times have you seen the head cheerleader harbor a crush on the ugliest guy in your class? Exactly. The real key to avoiding unrealistic personalities is to stick with the "personality type" you have assigned your character. Avoid stereotypical characters such as the silent but deadly martial artist or the coniving and deceitful popular girl unless you are confident in your ability to play them, and play them well.

Other key to making sure you keep portray your character's personality realistically is making sure that you keep your character... in-character. Everyone undergoes events that help to alter their personality, whether it be slightly or drastically, but know that these changes should be gradual. Your character generally isn't going to go from a wild and crazy "slut" to a holier-than-thou church goer overnight. Keep that in mind as you are developing your character's personality. People will change, inevitably, but not all at once.

[b]C. History[/b] [[realhist]]
Your character's history and the events that lie therein help shape the character you are portraying, and as such, should be realistic. People's histories affect the way they act, think, dress, and live in present day. Keep your character's past on a realistic level. Standard character ages in SOTF are between 15 and 17 years of age. How many 16 year old kids do you know who won a Purple Heart, served as the King of England for two years, flew to the moon, had their own television show, and road on horseback into the sunset in their short lives? If you know one, I want to meet him.

Keeping history realistic is hard, because people want their characters to stand out. They want people to read the profiles they've written and go "Wow, this guy's really cool!" or "How sad, I feel really bad for that girl...", and that, my friends, is why people's pasts tend to be over-the-top. Many people who're overly concerned with their character making an impact will line said character's history with a bunch of useless filler about the incredible things he or she did, like skydiving at 5 and picking up a car at 7. Here's a word of advice while writing your character's history: if you don't plan on using a certain event to directly affect something about your character, don't put it in there. Most kids lead relatively normal, carefree lives. Most of us didn't grow up in child labor camps. Remember that.

[b]D. Habits[/b] [[realhab]]
Wiggling your nose, biting your lower lip, fiddling with your glasses, twirling your hair, biting your fingernails, drumming your fingers on the table. Everyone has weird little quirks and habits that they do without really thinking about it. Habits can be good or bad, and have a variety of ranges. Some people chain smoke when they're nervous or aggitated. A bad habit, yes, but a habit nonetheless. Habits make us unique, and set is apart as an individual. Keep this in mind when you're designing your character. Remember... everyone has quirks.

[b][u]Section III: Pre-Game[/u][/b] [[3pre]]

[b]A. Interactions[/b] [3int]
The best way to decide whether a character is acting realistically with another is to place yourself in that situation. If someone ran up to you, grabbed you by the shoulders, and screamed "Omigod I know we just met but let's be bestest friends forever and ever and EVER!" would you back away slowly? Some of you are probably going "No, I'd get the hell out of dodge and fast." Think about that when you're portraying your character. If you'd be weirded out by your character's actions, avoid them... unless of course weirding our your fellow handler is your intention. Remember that this isn't supposed to be anime or some cartoon, it's based on reality. It's generally a good idea to not have your character do things that you wouldn't see normal people do.

Another word of advice on being realistic with your character's interactions with others: PM or contact the handler of the character you are interacting with to plan out and go over any details of what will occur over the course of the interaction. This way, you won't be working toward one angle while the other person is working in the completely opposite direction. This will make both the interaction and your overall posts flow much smoother. It's okay to have an unrequited crush or something on a character, but most handlers wouldn't take too kindly to being forced into a corner.

[b]B. Relationships[/b] [[3rel]]
Boyfriends. Girlfriends. Crushes. Significant others. Soulmates. Ex's. For many, that's what high school was all about. Relationships in roleplays tend to be very unrealistic at times. Why? People don't take into account the harsh realities of them. [i]Reality #1:[/i] Not everyone is having sex. Whether or not a relationship has become physical depends on the age, mental state, and personality of your character. Fourteen year old kids generally aren't physically involved, while seventeen year olds are much more likely.

[i]Reality #2:[/i] Relationships aren't perfect. People don't get along with one another 100% of the time. Relationships go through their ups and downs. People fight, be it silly squabbles over trivial matters or full-on fist fights over something unforgiveable. It happens to everyone, and all too often, the "bad" side of relationships are blocked from existence entirely. Everyone knows the story of how the prince rescues the princess and they live happily ever after, right? It's a fairy tale for a reason. Reality doesn't work like that. People have disagreements and spats, they go through trials, and all too often, this is not portrayed.

Finally, one more thing to concern yourself with while portraying a character involved in a relationship is that it is here that characters most often wind up taking a back seat, and one or the other winds up focusing all of their attention on the more dominant partner in the relationship. Do you think about your significant other constantly? Does every thought that runs through your head concern them in some way, shape, or form? While some people do have such obsessive personalities, the majority of us do not.

[b]C. Situations[/b] [[3sit]]
In SOTF's pre-game roleplay, just as in real life, there are countless situations in which your character may suddenly find themselves. When suddenly thrown into a new and unfamiliar situation, the best way to respond to keep a realistic hold over your character is to keep them in their original element. For example, if your character is a poet who spends a lot of time alone, odds are, if someone jumps him, he's not going to bust out some crazy Jackie-Chan style kung-foo and obliterate his enemy. Likewise, if your character is a fairly dimwitted jock, he's not going to suddenly sprout a brain when the kid he's picking on flings a high-intelligence insult at him. Oftentimes, we let reality get away from us in our eagerness to jump headfirst into topics. If your character didn't even know how to turn on a computer before, odds are, they won't turn into the school's best hacker in the next post. Just keep that in the back of your mind as you're roleplaying.

[b]D. Actions and Consequences[/b] [[3ac]]
In my own personal opinion, this section right here is one of the most important in pre-game RPing, and it is often overlooked. Actions have consequences, people. This is an all-too-often forgotten fact. SOTF is based on reality, and in reality, anything you do has consequences of some sort. If you walk up and shoot somebody in the face, you're probably going to jail for a very long time. Think about the consequences one would face in real life by committing an act before you even consider having your character do it. A fist fight on school grounds could very well result in suspension. The teacher probably isn't going to blow it off. If you're caught somewhere you aren't supposed to be, you're going to be in a lot of trouble, it isn't just going to be shrugged off.

If you broke a law, you'd go to jail, or at the very least get a ticket. People don't ever get away with anything and everything they do in real life. Perhaps some things, but not everything, all the time. Take that into consideration. Likewise, take other characters' actions into consideration and decide how it would affect your character. I don't care who you are, if someone smacks you in the head with a baseball bat, I don't think you're going to just get up and walk it off. It generally doesn't work that way, unless you're the Juggernaut.

[u][b]Section IV: In-Game[/b][/u] [[4game]]

[b]A. Awakening[/b] [[4awak]]
Though this is a minor detail in the long run, I felt it worth noting in this section of the tutorial, simply because, as stated in the "Introducing Your Character" section of this tutorial, your introduction post is a very important post in terms of defining yourself as a roleplayer. If you simply post "Greg woke up on the island and ate some crackers" as your introduction, people aren't going to be too interested in Greg. So, what is there to worry about keeping realistic in your introduction post? A surprising amount, actually. If you don't make at least some mention of your character looking through their student handbook, or at the very least their weapon's instruction manual, there's a good chance that someone will jump you when your character mysteriously knows every aspect about a gun they've never fired in their life. Understand?

Also, it never hurts to go into detail about the cuts, scrapes, and bruises your character received during their trip onto the battle field. For example, Version 1 took place on an island. Even if you were thrown at low range, falling out of a helicopter is going to sting. Tremendously. Not to mention the fact that your character has been thrown onto hard ground, not a nice, comfy mattress. It's feasible and quite possible that they'd wake up with minor injuries at the least. Also, considering they were gassed and unconscious, they could quite possibly be suffering some sort of grogginess or hangover feeling from the gas. Of course, this isn't completely necessary, just food for thought.

[b]B. Battle[/b] [[4batt]]
Sooner or later, your character is going to wind up fighting for their lives. That much is a given. This is the time during which reality really needs to be taken into account, but sadly it is quite often neglected. So, how do you make battle roleplays more realistic? There are a number of ways to bring a sense of reality to the battle. First and foremost, if your character is battling with a firearm and they've never fired one before in their life (and honestly, how many high school kids HAVE fired them extensively?), what's the likelihood that their aim is going to be perfect? Nil. Unless you're firing at point blank range (which is considered powerplaying anyway... that's something to note), there's always a chance that your character could still miss.

Of course, this can always be taken into account when being fired upon as well. The characters involved in this roleplay are high school kids, and the majority of them aren't proficient with firearms. However, if you fire a chamber full of bullets at one target, at least one of them is bound to hit. Make sense? Make sure you're being realistic when receiving damage as well. Your character isn't a machine, and you can't dodge every single bullet coming at you. You're going to get hurt, you're going to bleed. You aren't a superhero, your only weakness isn't kryptonite. Keep that in mind.

[b]C. Wounds[/b] [[4woun]]
Being realistic while receiving wounds has already been addressed, but that brings me into my next topic. Ever fall off your bicycle when you were little and skin your knees? Remember all the dirt and grime that entered the wound, and remember how mom freaked out and poured alcohol on it to disinfect it? What would've happened if mom hadn't bothered to clean it? It would've scabbed over, festered up, and gotten infected in all likelihood. And that was just a scrap that barely punctured your skin.

Keep that in mind when your character receives a bullet wound or a stab wound. If you don't clean wounds, there's a very high chance that they'll get infected. Infection can do a number of things, from making the wound fester and puss over to actually making you physically ill depending on the severity of the infection.

In the same token, if you receive a bullet wound and proceed to stumble around the island with a hole in your stomach, you're probably going to succumb to blood loss eventually, wouldn't you think? You can't realistically walk around oozing blood everywhere without feeling the effects. That's some more food for thought while roleplaying. While I'm on the subject, I'll cover one more thing. After receiving stab wounds, bullet wounds, etc., your character is not going to be able to prance around like they were just dropped from the helicopter. They're going to be feeling those injuries, and pretty badly. Be realistic about them, and remember that.

Chapter 9 of "A Guide to Good Roleplaying" discusses how to take a backseat to other characters. In a roleplay such as Survival of the Fittest, where there are dozens upon dozens of characters and they all have their own unique stories, it can be difficult to make your character fall into a supporting role. However, not everyone can be the main hero or villain all the time. Here, we will discuss the when, where, and how of putting your characters into a backseat-type roll.

[b]I. When should my character be a "support" character?[/b]
This is a tricky question, and the answer all depends on circumstance. The world generally won't stop and stare if your character enters a new location, so when entering a new area with new characters, try not to automatically make your character the main focal point. Oftentimes, the storyline is already unwrapping, and things won't change just because your character shows up.

However, in the same instance, say you're playing a villain character who suddenly appears on the scene to attack a group of characters. Suddenly, your character BECOMES the focal point, as (s)he is doing something to directly emerse him/herself in the storyline. That being said, it brings me to my next topic.

[b]II. What exactly IS a support character? How do I tell the difference?[/b]
Basically, a "support" character is one who is not directly pushing the storyline forward with their presence. To better illustrate my point, there are several examples in the pre-game RP of both support and leading characters. In Franklyn Senior High's A Lone Soul at the Bar and Grill characters such as Andie Colvin, Marimar Perez, Danielle Tysl and Vesa Turunen are examples of support, or backseat, characters. They have made their presence known without directly affecting the storyline. In this thread, characters such as Matthias Kovalenko and Eric Silvstedt take on the leading roles.

[b]III. My character is just as important as the other characters, why should I have to take a backseat?[/b]
In short, because if everyone in a thread tries to be the leading character, mass chaos and confusion ensues. When you get several different characters trying to drive the storyline in multiple directions, things get confusing and the story goes nowhere because none of the characters are on the same page. Every character has a time and place in the spotlight, but when they all try to force themselves into the limelight at once, things get hectic.

[b]IV. Should I have to take a backseat to other people's characters just because they're "more skilled" than I am?[/b]
Sometimes, people feel like their character isn't as important to a storyline as other characters because perhaps the other people they're roleplaying with write bigger, longer, more impressive posts than they do. This isn't true. Just because someone is a "more skilled" (and I use that term very loosely) writer does not entitle them to being in the spotlight in every topic they enter. Regardless of your writing style, your ability, or how long you have been in the roleplay, you are just as entitled to having your time in the spotlight as everyone else. Don't think that just because someone with a "more important" character enters the thread, that you have to automatically take a lesser role.

[b]V. When is it bad to take a backseat to another character?[/b]
Lots of times, people find themselves roleplaying with a character who takes a leadership type roll within the group. This is most often when other characters back down and fall into sort of supporting roles, and that's bad. You shouldn't sacrifice your character's presence just so another character can step up to the plate and make all the decisions. This doesn't mean that you have to have a leadership squabble or something, but make sure your characters are involved. It wouldn't be a group with only one person.

Another time characters tend to take a backseat is during romantic relationships. All too often, we see a character lose all sense of self and confine themselves to thoughts and actions revolving around their significant other. It's rare that we see this in real life, but it often happens in RPs, and then the love-sick character automatically takes a backseat, making the other character seem more important. There's no point in this, and there's no warrant doing it. It just takes away from your character and your writing ability. In love or not, they're still human beings. Remember that.

More to come...

[u][b]Playing the Hero: Section 4[/b][/u]

Good afternoon, morning, evening, or whatever time of day that it so happens to be while you’re reading this little section of the SOTF Roleplaying Guide. My name is Adam Dodd, better known as the forum co-admin, d0ddi0slave. Today, I’m going to be writing about how all of you prospective RPers out there can better enhance your skills if you’re thinking about trying to play the hero.

Now before I get into it, I’m sure a lot of you are probably wondering – what makes you so qualified to tell us about playing a hero? Now, I’m not going to tell you that I am more or less qualified than anyone – the simple fact is that nobody’s a perfect roleplayer, and everyone – the staff, the long-timers, and the newbies, every single person here can afford to try and improve themselves. What I CAN tell you is that I’m responsible for playing my namesake character in SOTF v1, and through some way or another, he’s turned into this ridiculous cult hero kind of figure. So while what I’m saying in this guide might have worked for me, there’s always the possibility that it might not work for you. I understand that, and keep in mind that these are just pointers; guidelines if you will, and hopefully they’ll help each and every one of us improve. Hell, I’m hoping the other guides will help me out a lot!

Throughout my guides, I’ll be referring to characters through literature, movies, television, and V1 as ways to explain and understand my points. I’d like to point out that any characters that I reference from anywhere are all property of the domain from whenst they came. So with that little ‘please don’t sue my copy write-infringing-ass’ warning out of the way, we can now begin!

[b]Section One: The Definition of a Hero[/b]

To be a hero is such a broad term. I mean, really, when you think about it, it is. It’s a word that gets tossed around far too often these days, and I’m not even sure that people have a clear definition as to what it means. Immediately when someone brings up heroes, often, people will think about comic books. Hell, I know that I do. But is that the most appropriate definition for the word? My guess – definitely not. I love comics as much as the next guy, but it’s gotta be more than that. So to clear the confusion, we’ll go to dictionary.com. The word hero has four different definitions. They are:

a) In mythology and legend, a man, often of divine ancestry, who is endowed with great courage and strength, celebrated for his bold exploits, and favored by the gods.

A person noted for feats of courage or nobility of purpose, especially one who has risked or sacrificed his or her life.

c) A person noted for special achievement in a particular field.

d) The principal male character in a novel, poem, or dramatic presentation.

So when you look at it from a purely roleplaying perspective, some of these definitions quite evidently and obviously do not apply. Most glaring here is the third definition. This definition is more or less directed towards people who are viewed as ‘heroes’ as far as excelling and setting examples in their field. It can also be directed at someone who is looked up to by others.

For example: My hero is Tom Cruise because he’s setting a great example for Scientologists everywhere.

For the record – I am not a Scientologist. Anyways, looking at the above example, we can see that for RPing, this is just not the kind of hero that we’re looking for. The fourth definition for a hero definitely has some form of merit as far as the fact that we are creating a type of media. Roleplaying IS indeed a dramatic presentation of sorts, so we’re good there.

The real definition that I’m looking for is in fact the second one. So listen up – you want to play a hero? Well, a hero is, for RPing, defined as ‘A person noted for feats of courage or nobility of purpose, especially one who has risked or sacrificed his or her life’. This’ll be quite common in SOTF v2, as it was quite a bit in v1. What’s that you say? You want to play a hero that doesn’t get forgotten a month after they die? Well, follow me over to section two.

[b]Introduction[/b]

As I stay up late into the night burning the midnight oil (for no effect, I just like to burn things…) I find myself thinking, “What the hell is the point of this part of the guide?” , now I think many of you will come over to this section first, mostly because it’s very general, because honestly not one person can fit all the Rping dos and don’ts into one guide, however this guide in my opinion is generally “RP guidelines on light.”, it’ll give you a basic understanding of what to do and not to do in an RP. I hope that if anything this convinces you to read the rest of the RP guidelines done by authors way more talented then myself (except Dodd, that guys a fucking hack), so with that said, I give you “RPing dos and don’ts).

[b]Rping Don’ts[/b]

Bullshit: Merriam Webster defines bullshitting way better than I could.

[QUOTE]QUOTE (‘Webster’)
1 usually vulgar: to talk foolishly, boastfully, or idly
2 usually vulgar: to engage in a discursive discussion
transitive verb, usually vulgar: to talk nonsense to especially with the intention of deceiving or misleading[/QUOTE]

My favorite definition is obviously the first, to be frank though avoid bullshit, it is your worse enemy and very easy to fall into the trap. Now here we go, we’ve got a good thread, lots of volume, lots of character development, but here it goes, it just goes on and on and on and on and on. This continues to the point where half the members are just like “What the fuck are they talking about?!”, because eventually when a thread goes on for that long, 10% of the time the characters will develop and then 90% of the time…the posts are pointless!

If you find yourself stepping into a bit of bullshit it’s alright, you can spray it off with a hose, if you find yourself up to your chest in bullshit…well get the fuck out of the thread and actually do something with your character! We support meaningful activity and if you can’t do anything with your character (other than bullshit), kill your character, it’s easier for us all.

How to avoid bullshitting? Well I’ll admit it’s hard, we all grow accustomed to one thread, and it’s hard to leave when you’ve no clue of what to do. A good way to do this is to plan out what your character is doing, is he going into this thread to die? To get a rest? To kill? Serve your purpose and do what comes at you, do not post for the sake of posting, the quality goes down and it leads to really…uninteresting posts. So yeah, planned story lines are defiantly a way to stop the bullshit.

Another simple way that all of us can do is look at the function of this post, if there is none, bullshit is on the horizon, either wait it out for a few posts until it gets interesting, make it interesting, or get the fuck out of the thread and fast!

[b]God-Moding:[/b] So you’re in this thread right and there is a fight going on! YES! You’ve escaped the bullshit! However you still see people faking enthusiasm for your post, you decide it has to be since your character…really sucks at fighting! The plan? Fucking pwn your opponent! So, Handler A posts a post with Character A sending an uppercut towards Character B, Handler B in responses causes Character B to go super saiyan and send a spirit bomb out to crush Character A.

Handler C, D, and E however are just going “What the fuck just happened?”, so they have to find a strategy to deal with this atrocity.

Handler C’s strategy is as follows: Ignore the spirit bomb and continue Rping, however if he was in Handler A’s position…well things could get confusing, only go with this option if Handler B is reasonable…if not you’re fucked, so only go with this option if you know…you’re not dealing with an overbearing idiot.

Handler D’s strategy is to acknowledge this…this leads to us having a super saiyan on the island, obviously not something we want, ALWAYS avoid this option unless it’s something really stupid and has no effect on the general plays on the island (an example would be when Jacob Starr took the gun back from Amanda Jones in “Though we may not survive it…”), if it comes down to either letting a case of minor god-moding pass or halting the thread, always choose the first choice, that’s just intelligent Rping.

Handler E, now here is the most simple and productive way to deal with god-moders, in fact Handler E should get a fucking noble prize for thinking of it! He contacts the mods and they handle it, limited effort on your part and the mods actually do what they’ve been put there for, to make things easier on the forum. If you can’t get Handler B to erase his post then ALWAYS go with this option, 100% of the time it works every time.

[b]Mind Reading:[/b] Mind reading. Oh Jesus Christ, you aren’t Miss Cleo, neither is your character. Avoid this. Don’t think about it. Don’t acknowledge it. In fact punch someone in the face via internet connection if they practice it. This is the most subtle form of RP don’ts, it can sometimes even be masked under a good post…however it is one of the most n00best things you can do.

Remember, just because you’re aware of a situation doesn’t mean that your character is aware as well, examples being “I just get a bad feeling from him.” while meeting the villain at best, at worse it leads to “OMFG YOU’RE THAT GUY THAT KILLED MY FRIENDS!” when all the character said was “Heeeeeeeeeey”…the fonz did not kill your friends…and even if he did if your character wasn’t there he wouldn’t know. Now the character may know that the Fonz did kill his character, but would he know how the fonz looked like? Sure. If the Fonz was in your school, but otherwise…no you wouldn’t.

Mind reading is the hardest to avoid, since usually you know so much about what everyone around you as planned that it’s hard to avoid your character mentioning it, however if you try your best to avoid this horrid Rping habit then SOTF is guaranteed to improve in quality.

[b][u]Introducing Your Character[/u][/b]

Now, hopefully you listened to Naki's guidance and took it to heart, because that plays a lot into how your character will be introduced into the roleplaying threads. But first off, there's deciding where he/she will go. To make this easier, seeing as Survival of the Fittest is probably where you'll want to employ these tips, we'll go with the specific schools. There are four: Bathurst, Hobbsborough, P.J. Gilroy, and Franklyn. Before I go further with that, be sure you've read the profiles of the schools (they're stickied in the topics) in order to figure out what grade you'll have to be in to be able to be in the game.

Know why? Because any other grades or homerooms other than those listed mean that they're not invited. They don't get to kill off their peers and have nice shiny collars. Poor them.

This is something to consider in making your character, as well, but I'd figure that I'd make it clear before I went on with the next step.

Your first post essentially either makes or breaks the initial impression you gave with your character profile, and as such, you should do well with both. You can have the creative, original, intriguing character, but post a one-liner to introduce this in depth character, and he or she is screwed. If anything, your introduction should probably be one of your longer posts, as should any turning point of your character, or even death post, should be. Because it's guaranteed that if no one reads any of your other posts ever again, they'll have at least seen your introduction.

[b]Let's Keep It Real[/b]

We can't tell you what style to use, after all it's your writing and we can't very well take too much depth into telling you how to portray the character. However, we're going to bitch if we can tell you're not portraying your own character. Remember these common sense tips:

Your loner and assholish character is not going to walk straight up to a group and go, "Hey, what's up?"

The shy, quiet character is not going to bitchslap the preppy cheerleader and then go on a rampage of teen angst.

See where I'm going with this? Don't misroleplay your character just because it might draw more attention. Because when anyone else sees that, they look back at your profile and see the exact opposite, and you might as well have a painted red sign that says "stupid" on your forehead. If you cannot roleplay the character you created, then make one you can RP with. It's as simple as that.

[b]Setting the Scene[/b]

Be sure if your character is not the first to be posted in a thread that they are not contradicting the previous character's descriptions. Some of the first posters in a thread get the lucky break of having more to describe about the room, settings, and whatever else they feel like addressing. Do not screw these up. The room is not going to be blue one second then light yellow the next. Any description they left out, just gives you more to work with as you bring your character into the story.

Things to consider with the setting are the amount of characters already in the thread, what they're doing, and what you're planning on doing that will either help the plot, or hinder it. Preferrably, you want to keep it to the former. Just make sure to read the thread, and introduce your character in a way that is unique to the character, but not overbearing to the others.

[b]Save the Drama For Yo' Mama[/b]

Drawing attention is a plus, yes, but is only worthy of doing if it's good attention. And there are so, many, many ways to get the bad attention. Like that of the immediately dramatic introductions. They are, the majority of the time, annoying. If you're moving in on a thread that's already started, the characters are not going to stop what they were doing to bow down to the student's entrance.

This is not to say that your character should be completely invisible. Sometimes, if the post isn't completely moronic, other handlers will post their characters recognizing you. The main trick, I'm spilling the secret, is to advertise your character subtly. That is done through your writing abilities, and how well you roleplay in general. Be descriptive of your character, flow well in your paragraphs, and generally abide by all grammatical and spelling norms and this can be relatively simple to accomplish.

[b]Mingle With The Rest of Us[/b]

The SOTF moderators, members, and administrators are not robots. We are friendly for the most part, and don't bite. So, if you're having trouble getting a good start, and need a little push in the right direction, we're here to help. Really, we want you to ask us if you don't understand something (and have read EVERYTHING). Maybe I should reiterate that little side note: you really have to read what has been posted previously before you ask us lest we suffer from our heads colliding with our computer desks. Sometimes even the wall, repeatedly.

Ahem.

In all honesty, we will help you even then, but at least consider our poor little brains.

D0ddi0slave:

[i]((A Note from Makaze: After asking Naki, a friend of mine to help us out in creating these guides, he has decided on donating several rp-ing guides specifically for the SOTF roleplay. Kudos to him!))[/i]

[u][b]Creating Your Character[/b][/u]

There are general rules to creating your character. Most of which are set by the forum moderators. Of course, there are many 'unwritten rules' that go with Roleplaying. The first being 'never subtract from the moderators character guidelines, but, unless otherwise stated, it's usually acceptable to add to those guidelines'.

Going above and beyond often proves to players that you're not going to slack, or give a 'half-assed' post performance. When you create your character, you're telling people how you roleplay. Almost immediately. A bad character pretty much dooms you in an RP from the outset. No one wants to play with a bad character, because it reflects on how you RP. Of course, having a bad character and a great post truly doesn't make up for the initial factor of suckage. So don't half-ass your character.

Following a regular registrations there's are [usually] these things: Personality, Background/History, and Appearance. These 3 things, alone, should be the entire bulk of your character. If it isn't... you suck. In all honesty, this is the section that makes or breaks your character. We'll start off with the personality.

[b]Personality[/b]
Start off small; think of how you want to play your character. And then look at others. I'm going to guess that the 'smooth, quiet and cold badass' is the most common from this point on. So, don't bother with that. Be original. Of course, at this stage, you want may 4-5 words to describe your character.

"Smart, witty, quick-tongued, suave" I'm going to choose those 4 words for this example. So far, we've got a number of 'clichés' open to use. A number of them less used, but still clichés nonetheless. I'll list them before going on: smart-assed rich kid, artist, musician, loner [a personal favourite of the 'new rpers'], and so on.

I'm not going to use any of these. Why? Because they are cliché. Avoid them. Like the plague. Purely because just about everyone reading these guides can't use them well. And those of you that can, will eventually screw up while playing them. Playing clichés well is hard. Creating them well is simple. Let's avoid them for now, okay?

So, what can I do with these four words? A huge number of things, actually. On average, you want at least 2 paragraphs. 10 sentences at minimum. I'll write up a fairly random personality for this non-existant character.

"Sam is a well-rounded kid. He's not part of any gangs, and hasn't delved into drugs or alcohol. Though, because he does well in-school, he's had to develop a quick-tongue to deal with the jocks and the 'badasses'. He doesn't hold himself as part of any 'cliques' but just hangs out with a few friends. He also has used his smarts to do well with the girls, being a smooth-talker when it comes to girls.

When it comes to dealing with the cliques, Sam just tends to ignore them, or give a witty line, with which they often find no real way to counter with words, and Sam goes off to hang out with his close group of friends. He holds no desire to 'fit in', and doesn't care too much about the 'drama' highschool holds."

Not too hard; rather simple, and probably not nearly as well as what can be done with some actual thought put into the character as a whole.

Of course, next comes the harder sections. Appearance and background.

[b]Appearance[/b]
It's not too hard to make a character that looks, good, but, of course, just like in drawing, proportion plays a role in designing your character. Being 5'6" and 101lbs for a male sounds.... wrong. Understand that a male, of a light frame [very few muscles, probably a runner, at best], at 5'6" is still between 136-142lbs. A larger male, of 6'0", is probably between 181 and 207. Anything higher or lower means he's either overweight, or malnourished.

Also remember that for girls, they have the extra addition of breasts. Which, will play a role in designing they're build and chest-size. Having joke-sized breasts [See: enormous] on a girl of small build, while possible, is going to suffer and pain her greatly.

When creating a character, you must put all of these factors together. A light framed male is not going to be a bodybuilder, while a large framed girl is going to be able to support the weight of being well endowed.

Of course body-size and proportion isn't the only thing that you need to consider. You also need to give them a unique style of dress. Of course the 'unique-ness' of a highschool student truly isn't anywhere near the uniqueness of other genres. Chances are, you'll typically wear the same dress-style, in varied colours. Doesn't mean you all need to have the same eye and hair colours. That is generally what sets people apart. The style of their character, as well as markings, tattoos, scars, etc.

Creating your appearance to set yourself apart from other players is often the hardest part to create. Though, the character's appearance can always play into personality, and how the character acts. So let your appearance rule your character, mold them effectively to make them different from everyone else.

[b]Background[/b]
This is the catch for most characters. Everyone thinks that here's where you need to go all out and make their character super dramatic.

Don't.

That's the best advice you'll ever get. Drama is good. But chances are, you'll use it incorrectly. Additionally, there are a few 'overused' backgrounds that are just too common. "Daddy beats me so I act out" is one of the most common, additionally "My parents left me so I'm a troublemaker" is another good example of what not to do.

You don't need to be a problem child to be interesting. In fact, being a problem child makes it less interesting, because everyone wants to be one. You can be interesting just by being a normal person. It's how your character views and reacts to the world around them that makes them interesting, not how many times they got into fights.

Think in a manner of thinking 'what is the best environment for my character to grow up in?' and then think 'how can I make it better so that it doesn't seem so typical?'. Especially for you guys that want to play the badass all the time. Being a badass is fine, but it doesn't mean you need a broken home, or some jailtime to do it. Look at the 'real life' badasses. Johnny Depp during his 'hotel trashing' phase is a good example of the 'badass quality'. No broken homes; he had a great relationship with his mother, in addition, great success in life up to that point.

You don't need to fill a cliché to make your character original and well made. It takes only the will to create something original.

== Survival of the Fittest ==
Survival of the Fittest is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Royale Battle Royale] based roleplaying site. The premise of the game is simple: you are a student who, along with the rest of your class, has been thrown onto an island, fitted with an explosive collar, issued a weapon, and given the ultimate ultimatum: kill or be killed. Survival of the Fittest, more commonly known as "SOTF", differs from its inspiration in that unlike most BR-oriented roleplays, SOTF has its own unique storyline, unique characters, and a whole plethora of unexpected happenings. Interested yet? You should be. Battle Royale never got this extreme.

Survival of the Fittest: Version 1 has come and gone. The original roleplay lasted from June 19th, 2005 until August 26th, 2006. In August, construction on the ending for the first version of SOTF commenced. As of the current date, Version 1's "Endgame" has been released to the public. Boy #77: [[Adam Dodd]] beat out [[Cody Jenson]], [[Sidney Crosby]], and [[Jack O'Connor]] to win SOTF v1. The second game began on October 30, 2006. Version 2 was scaled down from the global event that Version 1 was. Instead, four schools, all out of the metropolitan area of Denton, New Jersey, were captured and placed in the game.

The second in Danya's series of deadly games is finally over. After roughly nine days of fighting on the island, Boy #12, [[Bryan Calvert]], defeated [[Mariavel Varella]] to become the sole survivor and win SOTF v2. Now that the winner has emerged, all that is left is to wait for the official ending to be released. V3 has begun, and is in full swing as we anticipate the exciting end of v2, and the fun yet to come in v3!

V.I.P.'s

2008-04-16T06:36:01Z

D0ddi0slave:

V.I.P. Very important person. Many characters can be considered V.I.P.s in SOTF, from the higher-ups in the American government to the now deceased "Terrific Three" and right up to Mr. Danya himself. If you're looking to find out more information about Danya and his cohorts, or if you're just interested in knowing the names of some of the more important government officials for the sake of continuity, this is the place to be!

----

<big><center>'''United States Government Officials'''</center></big>

'''Aaron Bridges:''' President of the United States of America. Bridges is described as being an older Southern gentleman with a slight drawl in his speech and a very casual, laid-back, and joking demeanor. So far, Bridges has only made one appearance in SOTF, in a V1 announcement.

'''Steven O. Jones:''' Vice-President of the United States of America. Steven Jones is also the father of season one contestant [[Amanda Jones]].

'''Samuel Carson:''' Described simply as being a "political extraordinaire", not much is known about Carson sans the fact that he may serve as some sort of advisor to President Aaron Bridges. Carson only appears in one scene of SOTF, during the scene in which the U.S. government first receives Danya's demands in V1.

'''Ryan Smith:''' New Jersey State Senator (2006) and father of season two contestant [[Walter Smith]]. Senator Smith's personality and mannerisms seem to be very akin to those of his son's, implying that perhaps he may have used his political power for personal gain. However, unlike Walter, who was a vicious and extremely violent psychopath, Ryan was described as being a coward. Smith turned up dead immediately following the conclusion of the second season of SOTF, when the Denton Gang Wars erupted.

'''Andrew Vincent Grayston IV:''' New Jersey State Senator (2006) and father of season two contestant [[Ali Grayston]]. Senator Grayston was known to have contributed countless dollars to charity and was known to have erected several buildings (including Denton's new recreational center) throughout the metro area, probably as a ploy for gaining support with the population. He was supposedly a rival of Ryan Smith, but other than a quick mention this has not been shown. Following the loss of his daughter to the SOTF ACT, Senator Grayston began an "Anti-SOTF Campaign" throughout the metro area.

'''Catherine "Cathy" Bexley:''' New Jersey House Representative (2006) and mother of Bathurst High School student ''Jack Bexley''. The fateful day of the abduction, her son had stayed home from school due to illness and was spared from the fate of the other Bathurst students. When Senator Grayston began his Anti-SOTF Campaign, Bexley jumped on board and has been supporting Grayston throughout his campaign.

----

<big><center>'''SOTF ACT Coordinators and Associates'''</center></big>

'''[First Name Omitted] Danya:''' SOTF Program Orchestrator (2005-2007). Mr. Danya was first introduced to SOTF during the prologue of the first season in which he subjected Barry Coleson High School to the first successful round of the SOTF ACT. Since then, little has been revealed about the enigma known as Danya other than his cynical personality and twisted sense of humor. He's a very secretive man by nature. In fact, sans his own family and his subordinates, only two students -- contest winners [[Adam Dodd]] and [[Bryan Calvert]] -- have ever come face to face with the mysterious man.

'''Lillian "Lilly" Danya:''' Danya's wife. Lilly is a minor character at best, having only made one appearance in SOTF during its run; during the Fourth Announcement, in Danya's "Homelife" scene.

'''[First Name Omitted] Danya:''' Danya has mentioned having a son, presumably much older than his daughter Amora, who is currently fighting on the frontlines for his homecountry. Nothing else has been revealed about Danya's son, not even his name.

'''Amora Danya:''' Danya's daughter. Amora is another minor character in SOTF, making an appearance during the "Homelife" scene of the Fourth Announcement. As of the current date, Amora is approximately eight years old. In her appearance in 2005, she was shown as a bubbly six year old with long pigtails. Whether her appearance and personality have changed at all is unconfirmed.

'''Dorian:''' Dorian could be best described as Danya's personal assistant. He doesn't particularly enjoy his job, and only works for Danya's organization to supply money to his family. He's portrayed as a stammering, unconfident individual and is also known to be quite tech-savvy (in V2, Danya orders him onto the island with a maintenance squadron in order to repair the cameras that had been damaged in the storm).

'''Achlys:''' Another minor character in the SOTF series. Achlys is one of Danya's grunts who is quite the computer genius. He's the person responsible for fixing the downed cameras during season one. He also got a moment of glory when he was allowed the opportunity to shoot down the helicopter containing Rice, Kaige, and McLocke.

'''Garnett:''' Of the four terrorists revealed during season one, Garnett is the most enigmatic. During the Fourth Announcement incident that resulted in his companions having their vocal chords severed and being thrown onto the island, Garnett was confirmed to have escaped the base before Danya returned. What happened to Garnett after he went AWOL is currently unknown.

'''Shannon McLocke:''' Perhaps better known as TBLACK, Shannon McLocke used to be one of Danya's most trusted employees. During the Fourth Announcement of the first season, McLocke was responsible for the "fanfiction fiasco" that sent Danya rampaging back to Headquarters. Along with Kaige and Rice, McLocke was thrown onto the island along with the students and was killed in action.

'''Angelina Kaige:''' Better known as TBLUE, Angelina Kaige was another of Danya's most valued employees. She, too, was a member of the Fourth Announcement fiasco, and while Kaige wasn't directly responsible for the ongoings in Danya's personal office, she was deemed guilty by association and faced the same punishment as McLocke and Rice. Kaige made a quite heavy impact in the game, nearly making it to the end before being eliminated by [[Jack O'Connor]].

'''Elijah Rice:''' The final member of the "Terrific Three" that was thrown onto the island after the Fourth Announcement incident. Elijah Rice, known as TGREEN on the island, was the terrorist who made the fatal mistake of placing his can of soda on the announcement button, sealing the fate of himself and his co-workers in the process. While on the island, Rice temporarily aligned himself with [[Clemence Ceillet de Rousseau]], who he'd had quite a fixation on throughout the season. Rice, much like his counterparts, was eventually killed in action.

'''Jim Greynolds:''' After the disappearance of Garnett, Kaige, McLocke, and Rice, Greynolds rose to the frontlines just in time for season two of SOTF, but his ties with Danya go much further back than that. In fact, Greynolds often claims the SOTF ACT was originally his idea. He was the only terrorist not forced onto the island to act as a prize deliverer at some point during V2. It's also rumored that Greynolds has a pet penguin, though this is unconfirmed.

'''Sonia Nguyen:''' Described as being the successor to Angelina Kaige, Sonia Nguyen is another of Danya's trusted allies who rose to the frontlines directly before the beginning of season two. Nguyen found herself playing delivery girl throughout much of V2, and was stuck at the island's marina for a large majority of the second season. Nguyen's background is shrouded in mystery, and all that has been confirmed about her are her lethal skills in fighting.

'''Melvin Carter:''' Perhaps the most silent of Danya's newest allies, very little is known about Melvin Carter. He was put in charge of orchestrating the abduction of P.J. Gilroy Academy's ninth grade class. As somewhat of a testament to Melvin's personality, the scene he selected to subject the Gilroy students to during their debriefing was perhaps one of the most disturbing scenes of the first season -- [[Cody Jenson]]'s brutal rape and murder of [[Madelaine Shirohara]].

'''Steven "Steve" Wilson:''' Perhaps the most publicized of Danya's new staff additions. He's the oldest of the four and it is implied that he's had heavy ties with Danya for a long time. Steve is most notable for being the principal of Bathurst High School during the abduction and having set the students up to be kidnapped and killed. He, like the other terrorists, is a member of the U.S.'s Most Wanted list, wanted for the crime of high treason.

'''[Name Unknown]:''' Unknown affiliation with organization (?-2005). This unnamed soldier has been affiliated with Danya since before the beginning of the SOTF ACT. He presumably helped to organize the ACT itself, had a hand in the abductions for the first season, and was also responsible for the execution of Barry Coleson's teachers. Presumably of high importance, he was one of the elite few chosen to escort season one winner [[Adam Dodd]] off of the island. It was during this encounter with Dodd that this individual began to question Danya's motives behind the game. After this encounter, he disappeared from the organization. He launched an underground campaign against Danya in hopes of making the truth of the SOTF ACT known to the public, but his allies were too few and too far in between. He soon found himself being tracked by Danya's men, who hoped to silence him. The result of his running was a chance encounter with Southridge student [[Julie Mikan]]. Julie harbored him in her home before he opted to leave, unwilling to put the girl in more danger than he already had. His current whereabouts are unknown, but it is believed he was captured and is being held against his will.

'''Grossi:'''

<big><center>'''Survival of the Fittest Winners'''</center></big>

'''Sydney Morvran:''' Winner, SOTF v0. Syd hailed from Aberthol High School and participated in the final SOTF trial run, dubbed "V0". During his game, Syd barricaded the school building and holed up inside along with his group of friends. After a harmless incident went awry, his friends wound up slaughtering one another and Syd managed to avoid death by using his friend Jess as a shield. He went on to win the game by hiding and managed to avoid killing any of his classmates. As some kind of twisted punishment for not killing any of the other students, Danya threw him back onto the island where he was killed during the first official season of SOTF.

'''Adam Dodd:''' Winner, SOTF v1. One of the most well-known characters of season one, as well the the eventual winner of the game. Adam was the first winner of SOTF to be sent home after the program (See: Sydney Morvran). The first portion of Adam's game was spent in a vain attempt at saving the other members of a group now dubbed the "Intrepid Six" -- his romantic interest, [[Amanda Jones]]; [[Madelaine Shirohara]]; [[Hawley Faust]], [[David Jackson]], and [[Marcus Roddy]], six students who he formed very deep ties with while on the island. After the death of his friends, Adam swore to win the game and kill Danya at the end. He racked up one of the highest kill counts in SOTF with an astonishing twelve kills to his name -- and all but two kills being self-defense. At the end of the game, he fights and kills [[Cody Jenson]] (who murdered Madelaine and Amanda) and is escorted off the island where he meets Danya. Adam doesn't manage to kill Danya, but he does manage to inflict him with a scar across his face. During the third season of the game, Adam is reabducted and placed back into the game with the rest of his classmates at Southridge High School.

'''Bryan Calvert:''' Winner, SOTF v2. Perhaps the most well-known character of season two, as well as the winner of the game. Bryan could be described as more of an anti-hero than a protagonist. He actively engages in the murder of several people on the island, most of which seem to be either circumstancial or revenge-related in nature. Throughout the season, he sticks close to [[Tori Johnson]], his romantic interest from Bathurst High School. Bryan suffers through the loss of his "leader" and close friend, [[Seth Mattlock]], but perseveres and manages to make it to the end of the season. When Tori is killed by someone he once considered a friend -- [[Mariavel Varella]] -- Bryan is pushed over the edge and vows to kill her. At the end of the season, he accidentally kills [[Whitney Acosta]] in some twisted parallel to Tori's death before finally finding Mariavel. Mariavel is killed during the fight and Bryan is declared the winner of the second season afterward.

<big><center>'''Notable Students'''</center></big>

'''Jack O'Connor:''' Runner-up, SOTF v1. Jack's most notable contribution while participating in season one of SOTF was his success in hacking into Danya's systems and downloading a virus into his programs. While it was nothing besides a minor annoyance to Danya, Jack ''did'' succeed in taking the conclusion of season one off the air, forcing the conclusion to be aired later on in the year.

'''Cody Jenson:''' Third place, SOTF v1. Quite possibly the most notorious villain of season one (especially during the latter half of the game) and one of the most memorable villains. Cody was the rival of fourth place contestant [[Sidney Crosby]], and during the game, he developed an intense rivalry with season one winner [[Adam Dodd]]. Cody was responsible for the brutal rape and murder of [[Madelaine Shirohara]] as well as the death of [[Amanda Jones]]. He came in second place overall in season one, eliminated by Adam Dodd.

'''Sidney Crosby:''' Fourth place, SOTF v1. Canadian hockey phenom, rival to [[Cody Jenson]], and all-around coward, Crosby managed to gain some sort of cult following during his time in season one. He appeared relatively late in the game, sticking with [[Chance Burton]]'s group until Chance is killed. Later on in the game, he runs into [[Jill Gatling]], [[Jack O'Connor]], and [[Martyn "Murdoc" Ferdinand|Martyn Ferdinand]] at the warehouse and temporarily aligns himself with them. He and Jack are the only members of the group to survive [[Angelina Kaige]]'s assault on the warehouse, and Sid manages to slither his way into the final four and even ends up taking a bullet for the eventual winner, Adam Dodd, and also ends up being the instrument of [[Cody Jenson]]'s demise. He is shot in the head by Jenson, ending his game.

'''Jeremy Torres:''' Eighth place, SOTF v1. One of the most long-lived protagonists in season one. Jeremy belonged to a large group consisting of [[Fredrik Hughes|Fred Hughes]], [[Glenn Hughes]], and [[Mallory DeLuca]], along with multiple other students. Jeremy was a driving force on the island and pushed for escape throughout the entirety of the season. He only succumbs to the game very late in the season when he is forced to kill competitor [[Eh-Sun Choi]] at the warehouse. Near the end of the game, he finds himself locked in a car chase with [[Lucinda Garnett]]. The two inadvertantly drive into the dangerzone, and before his collar can be detonated, Jeremy eliminates himself from the game as one final screw-over to Mr. Danya.

'''Peri Barclay:''' 105th eliminated, SOTF v1. Another infamous killer throughout season one, Peri is famous for shooting first and asking questions never. He aligned himself with childhood friend [[Stevan Hyde]] early on in the game, and together, the two led a bloody assault on the entire island, eliminating anyone and everyone who fell within shooting range. Peri was separated from Stevan late in the game and encountered [[Dorian Greywood]] shortly after. The events that occurred between Peri and Dorian have been dubbed the "Bathroom Fiasco". After leaving Dorian, Peri ran into [[Adam Dodd]] and attacked him. He was decapitated in the fight.

'''Jacob Starr:''' 59th eliminated, SOTF v1. One of the most notorious killers throughout season one, especially during the first half of the season. Jacob aligned himself with [[Uriel Hunter]] throughout the first few days of the game, killing anyone he could and actively hunting [[Adam Dodd]] and [[Hawley Faust]]. After Uriel was killed, Jacob continued playing the game. He did unwittingly kill Hawley, who succumbed to wounds inflicted upon him by Jacob over the first few days on the island. Jacob continued to be a brutal force on the island until approximately halfway through the game. After the destruction of the "Intrepid Six", Jacob encounters Adam Dodd and reveals that he was responsible for the death of [[David Jackson]]. During the resulting fight, Jacob is killed by Adam.

'''Amanda Jones:''' 55th eliminated, SOTF v1. [[Adam Dodd]]'s romantic interest and a member of the "Intrepid Six". Amanda grew quite close to [[Madelaine Shirohara]]. She was nearly killed by [[Blaine Eno]] relatively early in the game, but was saved by [[Adam Dodd]]. Together, the group vowed to find a way off the island before being systematically picked off, one by one. Immediately following Madelaine's brutal murder, Amanda was killed by a bullet from [[Cody Jenson]]'s gun when he fired at [[Sidney Crosby]] before escaping from the river. Amanda's death was what pushed Adam over the edge and made him vow to eliminate Cody Jenson.

'''Madelaine Shirohara:''' 54th eliminated, SOTF v1. Perhaps one of the most influential and well-known members of the "Intrepid Six", falling in rank with [[Adam Dodd]] and [[Hawley Faust]]. Madelaine was, put simply, the glue that held the group together. She was calm, caring, and rational, and it was quite possibly due to her cool head that the group survived as long as they did. Madelaine was responsible for the death of her best friend, [[Nanami Nishida]], when Nanami succumbed to the game and attacked their group. Later on in the game, she was viciously assaulted, raped, and killed by [[Cody Jenson]]. Her death, along with the death of [[Amanda Jones]], was the inspiration that caused Adam to pursue Cody for the latter half of the season. After her death, [[Madelaine Shirohara Day]] began in the state of New York.

'''David Jackson:''' 51st eliminated, SOTF v1. Another member of the "Intrepid Six", David joined up with [[Madelaine Shirohara]] and [[Amanda Jones]] early in the game under the pretense that he wished to protect Amanda because of her status as the Vice-President's daughter. The truth was, David harbored a large crush on Amanda throughout the game. He was perhaps the most tempermental and distrusting of the Intrepid Six, and he formed a sort of ongoing rivalry with [[Jacob Starr]] over the course of the game. After [[Cody Jenson]] locks Amanda and Madelaine inside the warehouse, David chases Jacob away from the scene hoping to buy [[Adam Dodd]] and [[Martyn "Murdoc" Ferdinand|Martyn Ferdinand]] enough time to free the girls. During the resulting fight between himself and Jacob, David is killed.

'''Marcus Roddy:''' 46th eliminated, SOTF v1. Perhaps one of the lesser known members of the "Intrepid Six", as they have since been dubbed, but a member and an important protagonist nonetheless. Marcus is best remembered for his powerful resolve and horrible stutter. He fell victim to a horrific beating by [[Cody Jenson]] approximately halfway through the season and eventually fell into a coma due to his wounds. He was inevitably eliminated from the competition by [[Adam Dodd]], who thought it better to kill Marcus out of mercy than leave him to be killed in some horrific way by another competitor.

'''Hawley Faust:''' 43rd eliminated, SOTF v1. Hawley was eliminated relatively early during season one, but is arguably one of the most well-known characters of the season. He quickly succumbed to the game very early in season one, but after meeting up with season one winner [[Adam Dodd]], Hawley redeemed himself and went on to become one of the leading protagonists of the season. Hawley eventually succumbed to wounds approximately halfway through the season, and his death had a detremental affect on the remainder of the "Intrepid Six". After Hawley's death, the group started to fall apart, the members quickly being picked off by various murderers. Adam was the only survivor.

'''Andrew Lipson:''' 18th eliminated, SOTF v1. Arguably one of the most tragic characters of season one, Andrew Lipson was the wheelchair-bound best friend of season one winner [[Adam Dodd]]. Lipson was eliminated very early in the game due to a series of unfortunate events. While trying to contact Dodd via cell phone during a thunderstorm, he was struck by a bolt of lightning, fell from his wheelchair, and rolled down onto the shores of the island where, unable to move, he drowned. His death was a pivotal point in Adam Dodd's game.

--

'''Mariavel Varella:''' Runner-up, SOTF v2. Easily the most notorious female villain of season two, with a kill count rivalled only by that of season two winner [[Bryan Calvert]]. Mariavel succumbed to the game early on, losing her mind and drifting into insanity. Being raped by [[Walter Smith]] and discovering that the leader of the [[Bloody Fists (gang)|Bloody Fists]] and her romantic interest, [[Seth Mattlock]], had been eliminated from the game only served to send her futher down the path of madness. Mariavel spends her entire game destroying the competition before finally facing [[Bryan Calvert]] -- Seth's murderer -- at the end of the season. Mariavel loses their fight and just before her death, is faced with several revelations about her past.

'''Ricky Callahan:''' Third place, SOTF v2. One of the protagonists of season two. Early in the game, he formed a group with [[Jackie Kovacs]], [[Gail Smith]], [[John Matthews]], and [[Kayla Ravoy]]. After finding his romantic interest, [[Whitney Acosta]], his entire group was decimated by the game and he quickly found that his sole motivation for continuing through the game was to send Whitney home. At the end of the game, Whitney is eliminated by [[Bryan Calvert]]. All the pent-up anger and frustration of the game devestates Ricky after her death, and he breaks down mentally before eliminating himself from the competition, believing he failed his "mission" by not being able to protect Whitney.

'''Whitney Acosta:''' Fourth place, SOTF v2. [[Ricky Callahan]]'s romantic interest prior to and well into the second season of SOTF. Ricky saved Whitney from an untimely death at the hands of [[Eric Silvstedt]], inadvertantly killing his best friend in the process. After the incident, the two stuck together throughout the remainder of the game, with Ricky promising to send Whitney home at the end. When Whitney was accidentally killed by [[Bryan Calvert]], who had mistaken her for [[Mariavel Varella]] at the end of the season, Ricky promptly committed suicide, setting the stage for Bryan to fight Mariavel at the end of the game.

'''Tori Johnson:''' Fifth place, SOTF v2. [[Bryan Calvert]]'s romantic interest and ultimately, his reason for continuing on in the game. Tori found Bryan early on in the season and stuck to him like glue, saving him from trouble as well as sinking him into it a few times throughout the game. Her relationship with Bryan grew while on the island and it was Tori who was perhaps responsible for the drastic evolution that Bryan showed over the course of the game. Her death at the end of the season nearly broke him and provided the motivation he needed to hunt down and eliminate her murderer, his former friend, [[Mariavel Varella]].

'''Damien Carter-Madison:''' Sixth place, SOTF v2. A poor, tortured soul from P.J. Gilroy Academy whose sole purpose in the game was to enact vengeance upon the students who had wronged him, and he was willing to eliminate anything standing in his way. Damien was a man with a plan. Even from the very first day of the season, he knew exactly who he wanted to eliminate from the competition, and he even wound up scoring a few other kills along the way. He gained infamy and notoriety around the island for his murders, and nearly made it to the end before a battle with [[Mariavel Varella]] fatally wounded him and he succumbed to blood loss.

'''Vesa Turunen:''' Seventh place, SOTF v2. Finnish hockey phenom Vesa Turunen had a reputation as large as his stature throughout the second season of SOTF. He aligned himself with a few different groups temporarily, but the Fin really came to the forefront when he joined up with [[Ricky Callahan]] and his group around the time they went to the hotel. After Mariavel killed [[Matthias Kovalenko]] at the hotel, she and Vesa fought, with Vesa accidentally killing [[Debrah Dollop]] during the skirmish. He went on to make it to nearly the end of the season before being eliminated by [[Damien Carter-Madison]].

'''Franco Sebberts:''' 106th eliminated, SOTF v2. Coming in third after [[Bryan Calvert]] and [[Mariavel Varella]], Franco was one of the most notorious killers on the island, gathering a total of six eliminations during the game. Franco gained a sort of infamy by winning several Best Kill Awards during his stay on the island, but was killed near the end of season two when the industrial district warehouse he and several other students had been in collapsed and crushed him.

'''Seth Mattlock:''' 97th eliminated, SOTF v2. Seth is most notable for being the leader of the [[Bloody Fists (gang)|Bloody Fists]]. Most of Seth's time on the island was spent laying low, and the first real impact the leader of the Fists made was when he walked in on gang member [[Mariavel Varella]] being brutally raped by [[Walter Smith]]. Seth saves Mariavel and fights Walter before the fight is broken up by another gang member, [[Bryan Calvert]]. Later on in the season, we see Seth again when he intervenes on the hostage situation taking place between [[Felix Travertil]], [[Tori Johnson]], and [[Bryan Calvert]] on the roof of the hotel. Seth is fatally wounded by Felix in the battle and insists that Bryan win the game before succumbing to his wounds. Seth played a pivotal role for both Mariavel and Bryan (even furthering Mariavel's descent into insanity with his death) throughout the remainder of the game.

'''Jackie Kovacs:''' 34th eliminated, SOTF v2. During his time in season two, Jackie Kovacs banded together with [[Ricky Callahan]], [[Gail Smith]], [[John Matthews]], and [[Kayla Ravoy]]. Together, the group was bent on escaping the island. When the group split up to search for supplies in the residential district, Jackie was attacked and killed by [[Felix Travertil]]. His death motivated most everyone in the group in one way or another -- for students like Ricky and Gail, their resolve to conquer the game was strengthened. As for John, he set a goal to hunt down and eliminate Felix for killing Jackie.

'''Eric Silvstedt:''' 22nd eliminated, SOTF v2. While not a significant player on the island, Eric's attack on [[Whitney Acosta]] that ultimately lead to the altercation between himself and his best friend, [[Ricky Callahan]], proved to be a very pivotal point for Ricky. Eric was impaled on the makeshift spear he'd fashioned during their altercation, and Ricky's accidental murder of his best friend haunts him throughout the entirety of season two.

<big><center>'''Friends and Family'''</center></big>

'''Grant Varella:''' Mariavel's older brother, now deceased. While Grant only makes one appearance during season two in a flashback Mariavel has directly before her death, he plays a very pivotal role in her motivations for winning the game. The trademark green berette that Mariavel latches onto throughout season two was given to her by her brother shortly before he was beaten to death by their alcoholic father.

'''Nicole Carter-Madison:''' The mother of [[Damien Carter-Madison]] and an influential figure within the city of Denton, New Jersey. Throughout much of Damien's progress in the game, his mother's reactions to his doings are shown. In his delusional state, Damien believes that Nicole is the cause of SOTF and believes she is trying to exploit him for her own personal gain.

'''Luke Dodd:''' The biological brother of [[Adam Dodd]], who was committed to an institution years ago due to an incident where he lost control and attacked his older brother, putting him in the hospital and threatening his life. It was discovered that Luke's condition was a result of the medication that he was taking, and he remained within the institution in Canada for a few years, undergoing some counselling, as well as switching to a different medication. When Adam was placed in SOTF the first time, he felt regret that he had never forgiven his brother for what he had done, and used this as a form of motivation for himself. When Adam won the game and was returned to the United States, Adam returned to Canada and finally forgave his brother. As of 2007, when Adam was reabducted back with the rest of his Southridge High classmates, Luke had been released from the hospital and was living a more-or-less normal life with the rest of his family in Canada, having almost completely recovered from the adverse effects of the medication.

V.I.P.'s

2008-04-16T06:32:34Z

D0ddi0slave:

V.I.P. Very important person. Many characters can be considered V.I.P.s in SOTF, from the higher-ups in the American government to the now deceased "Terrific Three" and right up to Mr. Danya himself. If you're looking to find out more information about Danya and his cohorts, or if you're just interested in knowing the names of some of the more important government officials for the sake of continuity, this is the place to be!

----

<big><center>'''United States Government Officials'''</center></big>

'''Aaron Bridges:''' President of the United States of America. Bridges is described as being an older Southern gentleman with a slight drawl in his speech and a very casual, laid-back, and joking demeanor. So far, Bridges has only made one appearance in SOTF, in a V1 announcement.

'''Steven O. Jones:''' Vice-President of the United States of America. Steven Jones is also the father of season one contestant [[Amanda Jones]].

'''Samuel Carson:''' Described simply as being a "political extraordinaire", not much is known about Carson sans the fact that he may serve as some sort of advisor to President Aaron Bridges. Carson only appears in one scene of SOTF, during the scene in which the U.S. government first receives Danya's demands in V1.

'''Ryan Smith:''' New Jersey State Senator (2006) and father of season two contestant [[Walter Smith]]. Senator Smith's personality and mannerisms seem to be very akin to those of his son's, implying that perhaps he may have used his political power for personal gain. However, unlike Walter, who was a vicious and extremely violent psychopath, Ryan was described as being a coward. Smith turned up dead immediately following the conclusion of the second season of SOTF, when the Denton Gang Wars erupted.

'''Andrew Vincent Grayston IV:''' New Jersey State Senator (2006) and father of season two contestant [[Ali Grayston]]. Senator Grayston was known to have contributed countless dollars to charity and was known to have erected several buildings (including Denton's new recreational center) throughout the metro area, probably as a ploy for gaining support with the population. He was supposedly a rival of Ryan Smith, but other than a quick mention this has not been shown. Following the loss of his daughter to the SOTF ACT, Senator Grayston began an "Anti-SOTF Campaign" throughout the metro area.

'''Catherine "Cathy" Bexley:''' New Jersey House Representative (2006) and mother of Bathurst High School student ''Jack Bexley''. The fateful day of the abduction, her son had stayed home from school due to illness and was spared from the fate of the other Bathurst students. When Senator Grayston began his Anti-SOTF Campaign, Bexley jumped on board and has been supporting Grayston throughout his campaign.

<big><center>'''SOTF ACT Coordinators and Associates'''</center></big>

'''[First Name Omitted] Danya:''' SOTF Program Orchestrator (2005-2007). Mr. Danya was first introduced to SOTF during the prologue of the first season in which he subjected Barry Coleson High School to the first successful round of the SOTF ACT. Since then, little has been revealed about the enigma known as Danya other than his cynical personality and twisted sense of humor. He's a very secretive man by nature. In fact, sans his own family and his subordinates, only two students -- contest winners [[Adam Dodd]] and [[Bryan Calvert]] -- have ever come face to face with the mysterious man.

'''Lillian "Lilly" Danya:''' Danya's wife. Lilly is a minor character at best, having only made one appearance in SOTF during its run; during the Fourth Announcement, in Danya's "Homelife" scene.

'''[First Name Omitted] Danya:''' Danya has mentioned having a son, presumably much older than his daughter Amora, who is currently fighting on the frontlines for his homecountry. Nothing else has been revealed about Danya's son, not even his name.

'''Amora Danya:''' Danya's daughter. Amora is another minor character in SOTF, making an appearance during the "Homelife" scene of the Fourth Announcement. As of the current date, Amora is approximately eight years old. In her appearance in 2005, she was shown as a bubbly six year old with long pigtails. Whether her appearance and personality have changed at all is unconfirmed.

'''Dorian:''' Dorian could be best described as Danya's personal assistant. He doesn't particularly enjoy his job, and only works for Danya's organization to supply money to his family. He's portrayed as a stammering, unconfident individual and is also known to be quite tech-savvy (in V2, Danya orders him onto the island with a maintenance squadron in order to repair the cameras that had been damaged in the storm).

'''Achlys:''' Another minor character in the SOTF series. Achlys is one of Danya's grunts who is quite the computer genius. He's the person responsible for fixing the downed cameras during season one. He also got a moment of glory when he was allowed the opportunity to shoot down the helicopter containing Rice, Kaige, and McLocke.

'''Garnett:''' Of the four terrorists revealed during season one, Garnett is the most enigmatic. During the Fourth Announcement incident that resulted in his companions having their vocal chords severed and being thrown onto the island, Garnett was confirmed to have escaped the base before Danya returned. What happened to Garnett after he went AWOL is currently unknown.

'''Shannon McLocke:''' Perhaps better known as TBLACK, Shannon McLocke used to be one of Danya's most trusted employees. During the Fourth Announcement of the first season, McLocke was responsible for the "fanfiction fiasco" that sent Danya rampaging back to Headquarters. Along with Kaige and Rice, McLocke was thrown onto the island along with the students and was killed in action.

'''Angelina Kaige:''' Better known as TBLUE, Angelina Kaige was another of Danya's most valued employees. She, too, was a member of the Fourth Announcement fiasco, and while Kaige wasn't directly responsible for the ongoings in Danya's personal office, she was deemed guilty by association and faced the same punishment as McLocke and Rice. Kaige made a quite heavy impact in the game, nearly making it to the end before being eliminated by [[Jack O'Connor]].

'''Elijah Rice:''' The final member of the "Terrific Three" that was thrown onto the island after the Fourth Announcement incident. Elijah Rice, known as TGREEN on the island, was the terrorist who made the fatal mistake of placing his can of soda on the announcement button, sealing the fate of himself and his co-workers in the process. While on the island, Rice temporarily aligned himself with [[Clemence Ceillet de Rousseau]], who he'd had quite a fixation on throughout the season. Rice, much like his counterparts, was eventually killed in action.

'''Jim Greynolds:''' After the disappearance of Garnett, Kaige, McLocke, and Rice, Greynolds rose to the frontlines just in time for season two of SOTF, but his ties with Danya go much further back than that. In fact, Greynolds often claims the SOTF ACT was originally his idea. He was the only terrorist not forced onto the island to act as a prize deliverer at some point during V2. It's also rumored that Greynolds has a pet penguin, though this is unconfirmed.

'''Sonia Nguyen:''' Described as being the successor to Angelina Kaige, Sonia Nguyen is another of Danya's trusted allies who rose to the frontlines directly before the beginning of season two. Nguyen found herself playing delivery girl throughout much of V2, and was stuck at the island's marina for a large majority of the second season. Nguyen's background is shrouded in mystery, and all that has been confirmed about her are her lethal skills in fighting.

'''Melvin Carter:''' Perhaps the most silent of Danya's newest allies, very little is known about Melvin Carter. He was put in charge of orchestrating the abduction of P.J. Gilroy Academy's ninth grade class. As somewhat of a testament to Melvin's personality, the scene he selected to subject the Gilroy students to during their debriefing was perhaps one of the most disturbing scenes of the first season -- [[Cody Jenson]]'s brutal rape and murder of [[Madelaine Shirohara]].

'''Steven "Steve" Wilson:''' Perhaps the most publicized of Danya's new staff additions. He's the oldest of the four and it is implied that he's had heavy ties with Danya for a long time. Steve is most notable for being the principal of Bathurst High School during the abduction and having set the students up to be kidnapped and killed. He, like the other terrorists, is a member of the U.S.'s Most Wanted list, wanted for the crime of high treason.

'''[Name Unknown]:''' Unknown affiliation with organization (?-2005). This unnamed soldier has been affiliated with Danya since before the beginning of the SOTF ACT. He presumably helped to organize the ACT itself, had a hand in the abductions for the first season, and was also responsible for the execution of Barry Coleson's teachers. Presumably of high importance, he was one of the elite few chosen to escort season one winner [[Adam Dodd]] off of the island. It was during this encounter with Dodd that this individual began to question Danya's motives behind the game. After this encounter, he disappeared from the organization. He launched an underground campaign against Danya in hopes of making the truth of the SOTF ACT known to the public, but his allies were too few and too far in between. He soon found himself being tracked by Danya's men, who hoped to silence him. The result of his running was a chance encounter with Southridge student [[Julie Mikan]]. Julie harbored him in her home before he opted to leave, unwilling to put the girl in more danger than he already had. His current whereabouts are unknown, but it is believed he was captured and is being held against his will.

<big><center>'''Survival of the Fittest Winners'''</center></big>

'''Sydney Morvran:''' Winner, SOTF v0. Syd hailed from Aberthol High School and participated in the final SOTF trial run, dubbed "V0". During his game, Syd barricaded the school building and holed up inside along with his group of friends. After a harmless incident went awry, his friends wound up slaughtering one another and Syd managed to avoid death by using his friend Jess as a shield. He went on to win the game by hiding and managed to avoid killing any of his classmates. As some kind of twisted punishment for not killing any of the other students, Danya threw him back onto the island where he was killed during the first official season of SOTF.

'''Adam Dodd:''' Winner, SOTF v1. One of the most well-known characters of season one, as well the the eventual winner of the game. Adam was the first winner of SOTF to be sent home after the program (See: Sydney Morvran). The first portion of Adam's game was spent in a vain attempt at saving the other members of a group now dubbed the "Intrepid Six" -- his romantic interest, [[Amanda Jones]]; [[Madelaine Shirohara]]; [[Hawley Faust]], [[David Jackson]], and [[Marcus Roddy]], six students who he formed very deep ties with while on the island. After the death of his friends, Adam swore to win the game and kill Danya at the end. He racked up one of the highest kill counts in SOTF with an astonishing twelve kills to his name -- and all but two kills being self-defense. At the end of the game, he fights and kills [[Cody Jenson]] (who murdered Madelaine and Amanda) and is escorted off the island where he meets Danya. Adam doesn't manage to kill Danya, but he does manage to inflict him with a scar across his face. During the third season of the game, Adam is reabducted and placed back into the game with the rest of his classmates at Southridge High School.

'''Bryan Calvert:''' Winner, SOTF v2. Perhaps the most well-known character of season two, as well as the winner of the game. Bryan could be described as more of an anti-hero than a protagonist. He actively engages in the murder of several people on the island, most of which seem to be either circumstancial or revenge-related in nature. Throughout the season, he sticks close to [[Tori Johnson]], his romantic interest from Bathurst High School. Bryan suffers through the loss of his "leader" and close friend, [[Seth Mattlock]], but perseveres and manages to make it to the end of the season. When Tori is killed by someone he once considered a friend -- [[Mariavel Varella]] -- Bryan is pushed over the edge and vows to kill her. At the end of the season, he accidentally kills [[Whitney Acosta]] in some twisted parallel to Tori's death before finally finding Mariavel. Mariavel is killed during the fight and Bryan is declared the winner of the second season afterward.

<big><center>'''Notable Students'''</center></big>

'''Jack O'Connor:''' Runner-up, SOTF v1. Jack's most notable contribution while participating in season one of SOTF was his success in hacking into Danya's systems and downloading a virus into his programs. While it was nothing besides a minor annoyance to Danya, Jack ''did'' succeed in taking the conclusion of season one off the air, forcing the conclusion to be aired later on in the year.

'''Cody Jenson:''' Third place, SOTF v1. Quite possibly the most notorious villain of season one (especially during the latter half of the game) and one of the most memorable villains. Cody was the rival of fourth place contestant [[Sidney Crosby]], and during the game, he developed an intense rivalry with season one winner [[Adam Dodd]]. Cody was responsible for the brutal rape and murder of [[Madelaine Shirohara]] as well as the death of [[Amanda Jones]]. He came in second place overall in season one, eliminated by Adam Dodd.

'''Sidney Crosby:''' Fourth place, SOTF v1. Canadian hockey phenom, rival to [[Cody Jenson]], and all-around coward, Crosby managed to gain some sort of cult following during his time in season one. He appeared relatively late in the game, sticking with [[Chance Burton]]'s group until Chance is killed. Later on in the game, he runs into [[Jill Gatling]], [[Jack O'Connor]], and [[Martyn "Murdoc" Ferdinand|Martyn Ferdinand]] at the warehouse and temporarily aligns himself with them. He and Jack are the only members of the group to survive [[Angelina Kaige]]'s assault on the warehouse, and Sid manages to slither his way into the final four and even ends up taking a bullet for the eventual winner, Adam Dodd, and also ends up being the instrument of [[Cody Jenson]]'s demise. He is shot in the head by Jenson, ending his game.

'''Jeremy Torres:''' Eighth place, SOTF v1. One of the most long-lived protagonists in season one. Jeremy belonged to a large group consisting of [[Fredrik Hughes|Fred Hughes]], [[Glenn Hughes]], and [[Mallory DeLuca]], along with multiple other students. Jeremy was a driving force on the island and pushed for escape throughout the entirety of the season. He only succumbs to the game very late in the season when he is forced to kill competitor [[Eh-Sun Choi]] at the warehouse. Near the end of the game, he finds himself locked in a car chase with [[Lucinda Garnett]]. The two inadvertantly drive into the dangerzone, and before his collar can be detonated, Jeremy eliminates himself from the game as one final screw-over to Mr. Danya.

'''Peri Barclay:''' 105th eliminated, SOTF v1. Another infamous killer throughout season one, Peri is famous for shooting first and asking questions never. He aligned himself with childhood friend [[Stevan Hyde]] early on in the game, and together, the two led a bloody assault on the entire island, eliminating anyone and everyone who fell within shooting range. Peri was separated from Stevan late in the game and encountered [[Dorian Greywood]] shortly after. The events that occurred between Peri and Dorian have been dubbed the "Bathroom Fiasco". After leaving Dorian, Peri ran into [[Adam Dodd]] and attacked him. He was decapitated in the fight.

'''Jacob Starr:''' 59th eliminated, SOTF v1. One of the most notorious killers throughout season one, especially during the first half of the season. Jacob aligned himself with [[Uriel Hunter]] throughout the first few days of the game, killing anyone he could and actively hunting [[Adam Dodd]] and [[Hawley Faust]]. After Uriel was killed, Jacob continued playing the game. He did unwittingly kill Hawley, who succumbed to wounds inflicted upon him by Jacob over the first few days on the island. Jacob continued to be a brutal force on the island until approximately halfway through the game. After the destruction of the "Intrepid Six", Jacob encounters Adam Dodd and reveals that he was responsible for the death of [[David Jackson]]. During the resulting fight, Jacob is killed by Adam.

'''Amanda Jones:''' 55th eliminated, SOTF v1. [[Adam Dodd]]'s romantic interest and a member of the "Intrepid Six". Amanda grew quite close to [[Madelaine Shirohara]]. She was nearly killed by [[Blaine Eno]] relatively early in the game, but was saved by [[Adam Dodd]]. Together, the group vowed to find a way off the island before being systematically picked off, one by one. Immediately following Madelaine's brutal murder, Amanda was killed by a bullet from [[Cody Jenson]]'s gun when he fired at [[Sidney Crosby]] before escaping from the river. Amanda's death was what pushed Adam over the edge and made him vow to eliminate Cody Jenson.

'''Madelaine Shirohara:''' 54th eliminated, SOTF v1. Perhaps one of the most influential and well-known members of the "Intrepid Six", falling in rank with [[Adam Dodd]] and [[Hawley Faust]]. Madelaine was, put simply, the glue that held the group together. She was calm, caring, and rational, and it was quite possibly due to her cool head that the group survived as long as they did. Madelaine was responsible for the death of her best friend, [[Nanami Nishida]], when Nanami succumbed to the game and attacked their group. Later on in the game, she was viciously assaulted, raped, and killed by [[Cody Jenson]]. Her death, along with the death of [[Amanda Jones]], was the inspiration that caused Adam to pursue Cody for the latter half of the season. After her death, [[Madelaine Shirohara Day]] began in the state of New York.

'''David Jackson:''' 51st eliminated, SOTF v1. Another member of the "Intrepid Six", David joined up with [[Madelaine Shirohara]] and [[Amanda Jones]] early in the game under the pretense that he wished to protect Amanda because of her status as the Vice-President's daughter. The truth was, David harbored a large crush on Amanda throughout the game. He was perhaps the most tempermental and distrusting of the Intrepid Six, and he formed a sort of ongoing rivalry with [[Jacob Starr]] over the course of the game. After [[Cody Jenson]] locks Amanda and Madelaine inside the warehouse, David chases Jacob away from the scene hoping to buy [[Adam Dodd]] and [[Martyn "Murdoc" Ferdinand|Martyn Ferdinand]] enough time to free the girls. During the resulting fight between himself and Jacob, David is killed.

'''Marcus Roddy:''' 46th eliminated, SOTF v1. Perhaps one of the lesser known members of the "Intrepid Six", as they have since been dubbed, but a member and an important protagonist nonetheless. Marcus is best remembered for his powerful resolve and horrible stutter. He fell victim to a horrific beating by [[Cody Jenson]] approximately halfway through the season and eventually fell into a coma due to his wounds. He was inevitably eliminated from the competition by [[Adam Dodd]], who thought it better to kill Marcus out of mercy than leave him to be killed in some horrific way by another competitor.

'''Hawley Faust:''' 43rd eliminated, SOTF v1. Hawley was eliminated relatively early during season one, but is arguably one of the most well-known characters of the season. He quickly succumbed to the game very early in season one, but after meeting up with season one winner [[Adam Dodd]], Hawley redeemed himself and went on to become one of the leading protagonists of the season. Hawley eventually succumbed to wounds approximately halfway through the season, and his death had a detremental affect on the remainder of the "Intrepid Six". After Hawley's death, the group started to fall apart, the members quickly being picked off by various murderers. Adam was the only survivor.

'''Andrew Lipson:''' 18th eliminated, SOTF v1. Arguably one of the most tragic characters of season one, Andrew Lipson was the wheelchair-bound best friend of season one winner [[Adam Dodd]]. Lipson was eliminated very early in the game due to a series of unfortunate events. While trying to contact Dodd via cell phone during a thunderstorm, he was struck by a bolt of lightning, fell from his wheelchair, and rolled down onto the shores of the island where, unable to move, he drowned. His death was a pivotal point in Adam Dodd's game.

--

'''Mariavel Varella:''' Runner-up, SOTF v2. Easily the most notorious female villain of season two, with a kill count rivalled only by that of season two winner [[Bryan Calvert]]. Mariavel succumbed to the game early on, losing her mind and drifting into insanity. Being raped by [[Walter Smith]] and discovering that the leader of the [[Bloody Fists (gang)|Bloody Fists]] and her romantic interest, [[Seth Mattlock]], had been eliminated from the game only served to send her futher down the path of madness. Mariavel spends her entire game destroying the competition before finally facing [[Bryan Calvert]] -- Seth's murderer -- at the end of the season. Mariavel loses their fight and just before her death, is faced with several revelations about her past.

'''Ricky Callahan:''' Third place, SOTF v2. One of the protagonists of season two. Early in the game, he formed a group with [[Jackie Kovacs]], [[Gail Smith]], [[John Matthews]], and [[Kayla Ravoy]]. After finding his romantic interest, [[Whitney Acosta]], his entire group was decimated by the game and he quickly found that his sole motivation for continuing through the game was to send Whitney home. At the end of the game, Whitney is eliminated by [[Bryan Calvert]]. All the pent-up anger and frustration of the game devestates Ricky after her death, and he breaks down mentally before eliminating himself from the competition, believing he failed his "mission" by not being able to protect Whitney.

'''Whitney Acosta:''' Fourth place, SOTF v2. [[Ricky Callahan]]'s romantic interest prior to and well into the second season of SOTF. Ricky saved Whitney from an untimely death at the hands of [[Eric Silvstedt]], inadvertantly killing his best friend in the process. After the incident, the two stuck together throughout the remainder of the game, with Ricky promising to send Whitney home at the end. When Whitney was accidentally killed by [[Bryan Calvert]], who had mistaken her for [[Mariavel Varella]] at the end of the season, Ricky promptly committed suicide, setting the stage for Bryan to fight Mariavel at the end of the game.

'''Tori Johnson:''' Fifth place, SOTF v2. [[Bryan Calvert]]'s romantic interest and ultimately, his reason for continuing on in the game. Tori found Bryan early on in the season and stuck to him like glue, saving him from trouble as well as sinking him into it a few times throughout the game. Her relationship with Bryan grew while on the island and it was Tori who was perhaps responsible for the drastic evolution that Bryan showed over the course of the game. Her death at the end of the season nearly broke him and provided the motivation he needed to hunt down and eliminate her murderer, his former friend, [[Mariavel Varella]].

'''Damien Carter-Madison:''' Sixth place, SOTF v2. A poor, tortured soul from P.J. Gilroy Academy whose sole purpose in the game was to enact vengeance upon the students who had wronged him, and he was willing to eliminate anything standing in his way. Damien was a man with a plan. Even from the very first day of the season, he knew exactly who he wanted to eliminate from the competition, and he even wound up scoring a few other kills along the way. He gained infamy and notoriety around the island for his murders, and nearly made it to the end before a battle with [[Mariavel Varella]] fatally wounded him and he succumbed to blood loss.

'''Vesa Turunen:''' Seventh place, SOTF v2. Finnish hockey phenom Vesa Turunen had a reputation as large as his stature throughout the second season of SOTF. He aligned himself with a few different groups temporarily, but the Fin really came to the forefront when he joined up with [[Ricky Callahan]] and his group around the time they went to the hotel. After Mariavel killed [[Matthias Kovalenko]] at the hotel, she and Vesa fought, with Vesa accidentally killing [[Debrah Dollop]] during the skirmish. He went on to make it to nearly the end of the season before being eliminated by [[Damien Carter-Madison]].

'''Franco Sebberts:''' 106th eliminated, SOTF v2. Coming in third after [[Bryan Calvert]] and [[Mariavel Varella]], Franco was one of the most notorious killers on the island, gathering a total of six eliminations during the game. Franco gained a sort of infamy by winning several Best Kill Awards during his stay on the island, but was killed near the end of season two when the industrial district warehouse he and several other students had been in collapsed and crushed him.

'''Seth Mattlock:''' 97th eliminated, SOTF v2. Seth is most notable for being the leader of the [[Bloody Fists (gang)|Bloody Fists]]. Most of Seth's time on the island was spent laying low, and the first real impact the leader of the Fists made was when he walked in on gang member [[Mariavel Varella]] being brutally raped by [[Walter Smith]]. Seth saves Mariavel and fights Walter before the fight is broken up by another gang member, [[Bryan Calvert]]. Later on in the season, we see Seth again when he intervenes on the hostage situation taking place between [[Felix Travertil]], [[Tori Johnson]], and [[Bryan Calvert]] on the roof of the hotel. Seth is fatally wounded by Felix in the battle and insists that Bryan win the game before succumbing to his wounds. Seth played a pivotal role for both Mariavel and Bryan (even furthering Mariavel's descent into insanity with his death) throughout the remainder of the game.

'''Jackie Kovacs:''' 34th eliminated, SOTF v2. During his time in season two, Jackie Kovacs banded together with [[Ricky Callahan]], [[Gail Smith]], [[John Matthews]], and [[Kayla Ravoy]]. Together, the group was bent on escaping the island. When the group split up to search for supplies in the residential district, Jackie was attacked and killed by [[Felix Travertil]]. His death motivated most everyone in the group in one way or another -- for students like Ricky and Gail, their resolve to conquer the game was strengthened. As for John, he set a goal to hunt down and eliminate Felix for killing Jackie.

'''Eric Silvstedt:''' 22nd eliminated, SOTF v2. While not a significant player on the island, Eric's attack on [[Whitney Acosta]] that ultimately lead to the altercation between himself and his best friend, [[Ricky Callahan]], proved to be a very pivotal point for Ricky. Eric was impaled on the makeshift spear he'd fashioned during their altercation, and Ricky's accidental murder of his best friend haunts him throughout the entirety of season two.

<big><center>'''Friends and Family'''</center></big>

'''Grant Varella:''' Mariavel's older brother, now deceased. While Grant only makes one appearance during season two in a flashback Mariavel has directly before her death, he plays a very pivotal role in her motivations for winning the game. The trademark green berette that Mariavel latches onto throughout season two was given to her by her brother shortly before he was beaten to death by their alcoholic father.

'''Nicole Carter-Madison:''' The mother of [[Damien Carter-Madison]] and an influential figure within the city of Denton, New Jersey. Throughout much of Damien's progress in the game, his mother's reactions to his doings are shown. In his delusional state, Damien believes that Nicole is the cause of SOTF and believes she is trying to exploit him for her own personal gain.

'''Luke Dodd:''' The biological brother of [[Adam Dodd]], who was committed to an institution years ago due to an incident where he lost control and attacked his older brother, putting him in the hospital and threatening his life. It was discovered that Luke's condition was a result of the medication that he was taking, and he remained within the institution in Canada for a few years, undergoing some counselling, as well as switching to a different medication. When Adam was placed in SOTF the first time, he felt regret that he had never forgiven his brother for what he had done, and used this as a form of motivation for himself. When Adam won the game and was returned to the United States, Adam returned to Canada and finally forgave his brother. As of 2007, when Adam was reabducted back with the rest of his Southridge High classmates, Luke had been released from the hospital and was living a more-or-less normal life with the rest of his family in Canada, having almost completely recovered from the adverse effects of the medication.

Wade Wilson

2008-04-15T22:24:10Z

D0ddi0slave: /* Other/Trivia */

'''Name:''' Wade Wilson 
'''Gender:''' Male 
'''Age:''' 19 
'''Grade:''' Twelve 
'''School:''' Southridge 
'''Hobbies and Interests:''' Painting, Photography, Tennis, and Skydiving

'''Appearance:''' Wade doesn't look all that different from many nineteen year-olds that you'd find wandering around colleges around the United States. His reddish-blond hair is unruly and is always found sticking up at many different angles, almost in a mix of bed-head and actual intent. His skin is relatively pale, free from any facial scarring or acne, and he has a naturally smooth face, as facial hair only grows above his upper lip and below on his chin. He keeps himself clean-shaven anyways, as he feels that facial hair tends to get in the way. His eyes are green, and tend to be the first of his features that're noticed. He usually has his eyes open wide, and this allows his eyes to almost luminesce and sparkle in the light of the sun. Wade has a lip-ring, a loop that he wears on the right side of his lower lip.

In terms of body mass, Wade is tall and almost lanky. He isn't weak, nor scrawny by any definition, but at his height (6'0) and weight (152 lbs) he tends to be a little on the thinner side. Aside from his causal interest in tennis, he doesn't work out at all, and so his body, while fairly strong, doesn't match up to anyone involved in a physical sport like football or hockey. Wade has surprisingly good endurance though, and it's been something he's never been able to explain.

In terms of clothing, Wade is usually found wearing Khakis and other loose clothes. He dislikes being or feeling constricted, and as such dresses so that he feels comfortable at all times. It's not unusual to find Wade wearing a sweatshirt or a long-sleeved t-shirt. Nonetheless, with Wade, you get the impression that he doesn't really care all that much about his dress. He doesn't wear a watch or any such jewelery.

'''Biography:''' Born in Hong Kong, China, Wade was the son of a freighter captain and his wife, who routinely travelled the world making a living off of the world's import/export business. Their ship would traverse the globe, making small deliveries in between countries, usually in Europe and Asia. When Wade was born, the ship was docked in Hong Kong. Upon his birth, his mother returned to the United States and settled down in California while his father continued his business. Rather unsurprisingly, the fact that Wade's dad was always away contributed to the destruction of his parent's marriage, and they divorced when he was three years old.

Wade had a fairly normal childhood, as normal as one could have when living with a single parent, and tended to be a fairly hyperactive soul that had a propensity for playing tricks and jokes on people. In his youth, Wade was the atypical 'class clown' at the elementary schools that he was in. He was well-liked and seemed to be a fairly well-adjusted kid.

Just prior to Wade's sixteenth birthday, all of that began to change. Wade began to suffer from extreme mood swings, ranging from anxiety to sadness, to hyperactivity. He developed a rather intense form of claustrophobia, and began to withdraw into himself a lot more than he ever had before. This concerned his mother, who took him to a doctor, who suggested that he simply had contracted mononucleosis, and the weakness set on by that coupled with a slight adrenaline deficiency was making him appear manic. His mother accepted this, and yet still continued to worry about him.

It would be four months later that things would come to a head, when Wade's mother came home from work that day and encountered her son having a conversation with somebody who wasn't actually there. At first she assumed that he'd just bought a wireless ear-piece for his cellular phone, but very quickly realized that this wasn't the case and that there was something very seriously wrong with Wade. When she spoke to her physician about it, they again dismissed it. This time, she didn't believe them, and kept a very close watch on her son. Over the next month and a half, Wade showed similar symptoms, ranging from the same sort of hallucinations, scattered behaviour, not remembering where he'd put things, and had a tendancy to slur his words when he became anxious or emotionally active.

After Wade had a screaming match wiith an empty room, Mrs. Wilson finally decided that enough was enough. She got in touch with the school doctor, who, having been somewhat concerned about Wade herself, had been monitoring him, and together, the two of them contacted mental health professionals. After a few different examinations of Wade, a diagnosis was reached - Wade suffered from a mental disorder known as schizoaffective disorder. His mood swings, slurred speech, and hallucinations were all due to this disorder. It was not long before Wade was admitted to an inpatient care facility in California so that he could recieve proper treatment.

Wade remained within this facility for the better part of a year, while the doctors tried to determine the type of disorder that he was suffering from. After several different combinations of drugs were attempted with little success, the doctors finally found a combination that worked, and Wade began treatments consisting of Abilify and Tegretol. The doctors found that Wade was suffering from a rather severe case of the disorder and that if his mother had delayed action, it may have become far worse, as Wade would have undoubtedly begun to display psychotic symptoms as a result of the disorder.

Thanks to the medication, Wade's condition improved dramatically, and soon, he was making real progress in his therapy sessions. He became aware of his condition, and that he would likely have to take the medications for the rest of his life. He became enlightened to the side effects that were possible, and how serious his disorder was. Nonetheless, after a time, the doctors (and Wade himself) felt it appropriate that he was able to leave, and rejoin society.

After having come home and returning to school, he found himself a year behind where he was supposed to be, and found himself with much to do in order to put his life back in order. His friends had never found out about his illness, and after a bit of a debate amongst himself, Wade opted to keep it that way. It would be less of a burden on anyone else if he kept it to himself.

With that, Wade continued high school as normal, sticking very strictly to his routine with his medication. He took up photography as a hobby, and became fairly good at it, knowing that because of his unique view on the world, he'd hopefully be able to show other people things that they wouldn't necessarily see at first glance.

In the Southridge community, Wade's actually become fairly well-known and reknowned for his photography, and his teachers believe that if he decides to pursue it as a career, he will definitely be able to succeed.

'''Advantages:''' Wade's got excellent stamina. He loves the outdoors, and feels free when he's out wandering in the woods. He's witty, and knows how to endear himself to people. He's a genuinely nice person and while he can make fun of people at times, he always knows when to stop. He has fairly good hand-eye coordination as a result of his photography and tennis-playing.

'''Disadvantages:''' He's not necessarily the strongest lad about. If Wade goes one day without his pills, he will begin to regress into a schizoaffective state. Thanks to the fact that he suffers from both a manic and psychotic form of the disorder, this will likely cause him to regress into any different forms of psychosis and/or a manic state. If this occurs, it is very likely that Wade will not be safe to be around, for friends or enemies alike.

'''Designated Number:''' Male Student no. 51 
'''''The above biography is as written by [[Adam]]. No edits or alterations to the author's original work have been made.'''''

'''Designated Weapon:''' Nightstick 
'''Conclusions:''' Well now, B51 is quite the little diamond in the rough for us. It's always nice to come up with these kids who have some kind of crazy, psychotic mental disorder, 'cause eventually their medication runs out, and then they wind up like certain crazies from other seasons. He might have started with a kind of lame weapon, but I'm willing to bet that if B51 lasts long enough, he can come up with plenty of ways to decimate the competition. Who knows? He might be the new Cillian Crowe, you KNOW how popular he was.

Keith Jackson

2008-04-15T22:20:02Z

D0ddi0slave: /* Other/Trivia */

[[Image:Keithjackson.jpg|thumb|Keith, South Park Style]]'''Name:''' Keith Jackson 
'''Gender:''' Male 
'''Age:''' 18 
'''Grade:''' 12 
'''School:''' Southridge 
'''Hobbies and Interests:''' Rugby, Football, Tennis, Prom Planning Comittee, World of Warcraft

'''Appearance:''' The very first thing that comes to mind when one stares at Keith Jackson is just how well-built the strapping senior really is. Standing at six feet exactly, Keith is the epitome of what a wrestler might be built like. Muscular and fit, he's the typical 'widely known school athlete'. His well-formed body is a result of many days spent in his garage, lifting weights and keeping on top of his own personal fitness. He never wanted to be muscley, not like the wrestlers that you see on television, but rather lean and fit, more than anything. Even so, he's the kind of guy who all the guys look at in the locker room and wish they had his kind of physical shape. Keith keeps his dirty blond hair short and spiked, mainly so that it doesn't bother him while he's playing football.

While Keith has a very impressive physique, especially for someone who's only eighteen years old, nobody would ever know if he didn't decide to show it off, at least a little. While not being outwardly pompous or arrogant, he dresses well, usually wearing collared shirts that conform well to his body mass. In fact, he very rarely wears baggy clothing, making the exception only when he's working out, or if he's feeling ill, which isn't often. Keith's blue eyes have a good humor about them, not necessarily indicating an active sense of humor, but rather stating that he is the kind of person who handles problems when they come to him, and deals with things as they arrive at his doorstep.

'''Biography:''' Keith was born in a suburb of Los Angeles, moving to Highland Beach when he was about six. His parents nurtured him and his three siblings (two sisters and a younger brother) like they would any family, and so to say that Keith and his siblings came out normal might be a bit of an understatement. There were never any severe emotional or personal issues in the family, making things seem fairly average and everyday. Not a lot can be said in regards to Keith's parents; they're your everyday, average folk. His father works for the local newspaper as a columnist for the sports section, and his mother (who has just resumed her career after having four children) is a financial advisor.

When he was younger, Keith often found himself left with nothing to do. He was proficient enough in school to finish a good portion of his work in the assigned work periods, and his parents insisted that he complete any work he had as soon as he arrived home, before he did anything else. Originally, he fought this, but later realized it to be good practice for the future, and kept to that routine. As he got older, he found himself with less to do at home, and decided to take up some private hobbies of his own. The first thing that he began to do was exercise. Keith had always enjoyed sports, and so working out seemed like a natural thing to do to kill time. At first it was just a jog around the block, but as he entered his teens he began to take it a little more seriously. Of course, working out wasn't all that Keith did, as it didn't give him enough in the way of entertainment value. Like any warm-blooded American teenager, Keith watched his fair share of television and had a good deal of friends, but he still found himself bored whenever he was at home and not working out. This was when Keith turned to his computer.

His father had always had one, and Keith'd never really payed it much interest until he was about 14, his father explaining the ins and outs of the system to him so that if he wasn't around, Keith would know how to fix any problems. It was one day that Keith came home from school with no homework to do and found his older sister playing around on some computer game called 'the Sims'. This immediately piqued Keith's interest and he began to actively play video games. He wouldn't allow them to take up too much of his time, but he still tried to play at least a bit every day, as he enjoyed the challenge of the games. Soon, however, the novelty wore off. It was here that he discovered the multiplayer aspect of these games. No sooner than he did this than he discovered games such as Counterstrike and Starcraft. Games where you could play against a thinking opponent. Keith enjoyed the challenge. Finally, on his 16th birthday, his brother bought him a game that would eventually become his favourite: World of Warcraft. Keith loved this game, and played it often. The mix between fighting other people, and completing the games' quests gave him something to do in his downtime; something he'd guarantee would never be the same each time.

In school, Keith gets good marks, and has good study habits. His teachers enjoy having him as a student, and there are few, if any who dislike him. He is polite, and always participates in class. He is actively involved in several sports at his school, excelling in Rugby, Football and tennis. As he is also relatively popular, Keith was asked to help plan the senior prom, as he is very well organized and a well-liked person. With that being said, Keith still definitely has his enemies, as he has been known to act jocky and has a touch of arrogance to him. He sometimes talks down to people without realizing it, and sometimes can be pretty cool to people. Deep down, though, he means well, and doesn't have any inborn prejudices. He doesn't, however, let his friends know that he plays WoW, as he feels that he might be made fun of for it. He has a few friends in school who aren't necessarily in the popular crowd that he has met through the game, and while he is usually nice to those friends, sometimes he is torn between his position in school and his loyalty to his friends. Most of them understand that, though, and try not to let it bother them.

Keith doesn't feel comfortable with commitment, and most of his relationships have been either short, or a fling.

'''Advantages:''' Very physically fit, and popular. Has a quiet intelligence about him, though you might not realize it as he doesn't have many moments where he broadcasts it. Is usually thought of as 'one of the sporty kids'. Is a generally kind person.

'''Disadvantages:''' As mentioned, can be arrogant and can talk down to people. Popularity is not without it's costs, and Keith does have enemies who envy his social standing, or his good luck. Keith has never had to deal with any kind of trauma or emotional problem in his life, and being thrust into SOTF, he might have some serious issues coping. Has very little survival skills (outdoors-type) to speak of.

'''Designated Number:''' Male Student no. 07

*Early on within the planning stages of V3, Keith Jackson was originally slated to go insane and start believing that everyone was a character out of World of Warcraft, and that he was in the game. He took a dramatically different direction with it, though the WoW element of his character remained and may still play a part in how he turns out.

Paul Smith

2008-04-15T22:16:31Z

D0ddi0slave: /* Game Evaluations */

'''Name:''' Paul Smith 
'''Gender:''' Math 
'''Age:''' 19 
'''Grade:''' Although for all intents and purposes he is a senior, it is of note that Paul is and has always been considered class of 2006 (and currently the senior class is class of 2007) and thus has this self mocking notion to noting this whenever a teacher asks him ("What grade am I in? Well Miss it's quite obvious I'm class of '06"). So, he's in twelfth/thirteenth grade. 
'''School:''' Southridge 
'''Hobbies and Interests:''' While it is to note that he is into music (it'd be a bit funny to be a lead singer in a heavy metal band when you where not into music) and his eventual goal is to go to Berkley and major in Music Theory. He also (and this is purely speculation on his part) have a large case of pyromania (his most precious possession is his Zippo lighter and he is known for pulling it out and lighting it at random moments, it's gotten to the point where teachers don't even chastise him for it anymore), so he has a vast collection of fireworks and an even larger collection of 300+ Zippo lighters.

'''Appearance:''' The first reaction to Paul's appearance is, "What a goddamn freak.", but truly this is no surprise, with waist length blonde hair, layer upon layer of military garb, and an eye patch it is quite obvious that Paul does not fit into normal society and honestly he is quite content with it that way.

Having yet to cut his hair in the past nineteen years, Paul’s extraneously long ponytail is certainly a sight to behold. It has gotten so long that he rarely unfurls it from its massive quantity of wrappings – over, under, over, under, over, under, ad infitum. He sleeps with a ponytail, washes with a ponytail, and lives with a ponytail. Rather than have it extend to below, down to his waist, as it would normally rest, Paul instead throws it over his right shoulder. This not only gives him an air of unique style, it also increases his shock factor, albeit only slightly. He has, however, started letting it fall, as it is scratchy and distracting when it lays across his neck. Unlike his ponytail, Paul sports rather thin wisps of blonde locks that tumble down over his forehead and ears in every which way. His hair is a very distinct color, almost unnatural in its unique physiology. It is a dark blonde with a touch of orange, creating an shade much like that of the poppy found in the dark damp caves of Wales rather than in South California.

As can be expected by someone involved in a constant barrage of hardcore metal pits, Paul's physique is very toned, but this is merely a by product of the rather insane work out schedule he has to prepare for these pits (because as he put it, "How can I expect these people to do pits if I suck at them?") his daily exercise routine consists of 50 roundhouse kicks, performing windmills until his shoulders give out, and at least 10 minutes of mock stage dives into other peoples pools.

His clothing is just as weird as he is and consists of a heavy flak jacket of a dark green color and equally bland pants (all army issued), layer after layer of these and all leather, as you can no doubt guess this look is extremely uncomfortable, but it helps give him a unique look (and that's one of his big fears that he'll lose his individuality and thus he goes to great lengths to protect it) and he has gotten used to the discomfort. Instead of sneakers he wears a pair of big combat boots. The most weird part of his clothing is the leather eye patch with three holes in it and you can just see a white patch underneath them, this is due to a horrific fire when he was a child and he has an adamant refusal to get a glass eye.

'''Biography:''' Paul Smith, Biography of a Rock God

Lila Macintosh, age sixteen and sophomore editor for the Patriot’s Gazette at Southridge High, today we’re going to explore the story of one of Southridges most colorful student, we’ve all spoken to him at least once and we’ve all gotten wind of his very...odd eccentric tendencies, but today I’m going to get in depth in the mind of the singer of the great metal band known to us as “Beneath the Hands of War”.

Like every good story I decided to start with the beginning and that beginning and the beginning and in order to get a grasp on Paul’s early years, the only effective person to go to would be his father, Kevin Smith is the thirty eight year old head of the burn ward at the local hospital and is almost a parallel image of Paul (with the exception of Paul’s amber eyes of course), however the older man has a large receding hair line and his ponytail is not nearly as in your face as Paul’s is.

“Well, I met Paul’s mother when I was fourteen years old and we got married right outtalk high school, I got a full scholarship to UCLA where I majored in medicine, Paul’s mother was a very pretty woman, had red hair and perfect amber eyes, she is a lot like Paul in a lotto ways, always striving to be different, y’know? Well we lived a normal life, Jean my wife was working at a local book store and I was working in construction to pay to support my family and of course Paul himself, Paul was always a smart boy, though in oddly different ways. He knew how to read before he knew how to speak and he was always readin’ always being smart, y’know?

Well, our life was normal till that day in about ‘92, Paul was ‘bout four years old and was staying home with Jean, when apparently our oven was on the fritz, the oven refused to turn on and because it was one of those good ol’ Gas ovens she just put in a barbeque lighter and tried to light it...unfortunately well it just ‘sploded all over her, Jean was burnt to a crisp and Paul would’ve been to if he hadn’t been fooling around trying on a leather jacket of mine (he’s been obsessive with every piece of clothing he owns being leather from that point onward), a piece of debree got into his left eye and the doctors told me that if it had gone just 1/360th of an inch to the right Paul’s brain would’ve been gone, it was a day of conflict because on the downside I lost my wife, but on the bright side my son survived, y’know?”

Losing his mother at such a young age should no doubt by traumatizing for Paul, but those of you who hang out with him know he is incredibly open, I mean honestly there is nothing that you can say about Paul that hasn’t already been said by Paul. His high school career of course is way better known. His Freshman year he started off not by getting an F in every one of his classes (that honor would be reserved for Sophomore year), but by infamously setting his pants on fire while confidently in a broom closet with the topless valedictorian of that graduating year...it was scandalous, it was embarrassing, and it was something that Paul Smith loved. During his Freshman year he was discovered by the music program at our school and despite his ineptitude to play instruments he has composed every piece our school band has preformed for the last five years, it was probably this skill in composing that made him a key member in the local scene in a metal band known as Beneath the Hands of War which is known for it’s slightly operatic vocal solos and it’s general melodic sound in contrast to most metal bands.

Sophomore year more panic ensued at Southridge and I’m sure all of the graduating seniors will remember the day Paul Smith came running down the football field piss ass drunk and also bares naked screaming that the class of ‘06 ruled and then he proceeded to rip drunkenly grope the homecoming queens breasts and eventually in a rather climatic chase evade police capture for fifteen minutes. Of course he then gained fame for burning his report card in the middle of his first period class and strangely enough (despite his rather eccentric tendencies) he found himself spending most of his time hanging out in the girls locker-room (he still does this to the day and most of the girls have gotten rather indifferent towards Paul’s nearly constant presence, although he does relish every time a Freshman girl comes to him and asks him to leave, “Yeah, well I’ll leave when I see something I haven’t before...or I’ll stay and watch, it’s an impasse you gotta be willing to deal with”.

Junior year is a year of shame in regards to us Paul Smith fans as he started going out with the most bitchy head cheerleader this side of bitchington, a girl named Melanie Suarez. Melanie was abusive and out of place every where Paul went, while she got straight A’s, Paul was getting no grades, but somehow someway she sparked a rather large change in Paul and caused him to start working hard in school, Paul was still crazy, but remarkably a lot tamer and he would keep this attitude up through his senior year. The darkest day for the Paul Smith fans was last year at the graduation ceremony where he was almost unanimously denied a diploma due to his 1.9 GPA, instead of going to a community college to raise his grades, Paul stayed back a year and has yet to give us anymore Smith brand craziness...but we can hope to see it again, we can hope.

Lila Macintosh, out.

'07 SCHOOL YEAR UPDATE

As rumors flew around the school about Paul Smith romancing head cheerleader Serenity Halos, Paul Smith chose to prove himself in a much more interesting way. Joining the tournament Paul breezed through his first two matches and eventually came to fight Darnell Butler, in a match contested by few (due to Darnell's long hospilitazation) Paul came out the loser, but also came out the bouncer at the local 'club' Shooters. People wishing to challenge Paul, found themselves being subjected to a large amount of Grecco-Roman wrestling moves and broken noses...all stuff he's picked up from Darnell. Currently Paul has been accepted into HBU with a GPA of 2.3 and he's been given a full ride partly due to Shooters and Montezzo.

It seems the Smith brand craziness is coming to an end.

'''Advantages:''' Paul’s popularity almost triples that of everyone else in the school, he is known by people outside of school, he is known by people who saw the school once and he is known by people who accidentally came across the word school in the dictionary. He has a rather large tolerance for pain (due to his pit practicing and the actual pit itself) and strangely enough for someone usually surrounded by blaring amps, excellent ears. Paul has also proven to be an excellent fighter and some say he currently has achieved a varied fighting level that he could beat Darnell Butler.

'''Disadvantages:''' Paul is completely self centered, completely intent on building upon the Paul Smith legend that has surrounded itself his past five years of school. He also though is far to altruistic for his own good and the thought of hurting someone unable to protect themselves is in all honesty, sickening to him. Paul's left arm is a bit weak and he also has no skill in fire arms and while he's adapted to his eye, he does have a slightly reduced field of vision.

'''Designated Number:''' Male Student no. 03

'''''The above biography is as written by [[slacker]]. No edits or alterations to the author's original work have been made.'''''

==

'''Designated Weapon:''' Stockman's Knife 
'''Conclusions:''' Well now, B03 is quite the lucky ducky, isn't he? To think, if he'd graduated with his class instead of staying a year behind like he did, he wouldn't be able to be part of our wonderful program, and that would be such a disappointment! His bad eye might work against him in this kind of game, but maybe he'll put his pyromania to good use!

[[Image:Adamdoddv3.jpg|thumb|Adam, South Park Style]]'''Name:''' Adam Dodd 
'''Gender:''' Male 
'''Age:''' 19 
'''Grade:''' 12th 
'''School:''' Southridge 
'''Hobbies and Interests:''' Hockey, Writing, Public Speaking, Track and Field, Photography

'''Appearance:''' The first impression that one gets when they look at Adam Dodd is that he is someone who is haunted by his past. His brown eyes betray an intelligence about them, but the intelligence in his eyes are not the most prominent thing that you'd notice about them - that would in fact be the look of suspicion and guardedness that are basically stamped across his forehead. He wears his orangey-red hair a little longer than he'd particularily like to; long enough to come halfway down his ears and obstruct his forehead. It's a style that doesn't look bad on him, and because of the pure number of 'shaggy-haired surfers' around California, it doesn't appear out of place on him. Of course, this haircut is purely by necessity rather than want.

Adam usually wears stubble on his face, and only shaves once every couple of days, mainly because of the fact that most mornings, he can't be bothered. It alternates between making him look hardened and like he perpetually just got out of bed; both of which could be seen as accurate. The stubble also adds a few years to his percieved age, a feature that he's essentially had since the age of 13. Today, at 19, Adam manages to easily pass for a 23 to 26 year old, and it leads to him being carded very infrequently if he ever opts to go to a bar.

Physically, Adam is in the best shape he's ever been in. From the ages of fourteen to sixteen, Adam was mildly overweight, and felt very self-conscious about it. He didn't eat properly and his endurance and sports ability sufferred as a result. It took an entirely traumatic experience for Adam to turn this around, but in the two and a half years past, he's managed to do just that. Now down thirty-five pounds from his former weight of 210, Adam tips the scales at about 175 lbs, managing to keep himself in good enough shape to perform adequately at basically any sport that he wants to, aside from volleyball.

Most of Adam's muscle-weight comes from his legs, which are the most muscular part of his body, much in part to the fact that he started taking a very active interest in track and field once he turned seventeen. The only fat that one can really see on his body is around his stomach area, and manages to be the remnants of his formerly larger gut; though it's barely noticable now.

In terms of wardrobe, Adam dresses fairly conservatively. He's usually found in dark blue jeans that are loose enough for comfort, but tight enough that they look appropriate for going out in, and moving quickly if ever necessary. Even though the California weather doesn't make it practical to wear jeans all the time, Adam usually does, very rarely opting to wear shorts. On the odd time that he does, he usually wears greenish-brown khaki pants with zip-off legs that he converts into shorts. Aside from that, Adam is almost always found in a t-shirt. Most of the ones he owns are varying shades of black or blue, but the odd green or white shirt manages to sneak its way into his wardrobe as well. When it's colder, or later on at night, Adam usually wears a dark blue hoodie, unzippable down the front. He has two or three that he alternates between, and hence he's not usually seen wearing much else. Upon very rare occasions, Adam has been spotted wearing various hockey jerseys, and rumors say that he's got an extensive collection, but nobody sees him wearing them all that much.

Adam has a multitude of scarring spanning a great deal of his body. His left ear has been surgically reconstructed, and while it resembles a real ear to anyone who gives it a passing glance, it's really just a hunk of flesh that resembles an ear to anyone who looks any closer. That, of course, is the main reason that Adam wears his hair longer. His left arm has a long scar in the upper portion, and while it has healed well, Adam occasionally finds that arm weaker than the other. His left hand has scarring on the palm, but it isn't that noticable to those who shake his hand. His left shoulder also is scarred right across the top, almost like someone took a magic marker and ran a line right across it. The wound was not a serious one, but the scarring remains, and is indeed something people have noticed before. Over the rest of his body, small nicks and abraisions have healed over time but left small scars to remind Adam of their presence. Finally, his chest still remains slightly discoloured with a bluish hue, bruises that never seemed to disappear.

'''Biography:''' Adam Dodd used to be a happy-go-lucky kind of guy, the kind of guy that was the type of person that everyone knew as a 'really good guy'. He enjoyed making his friends laugh and was the kind of person who was quick with a joke to make people feel better in sadder times. Adam had a very genuine love for life, and considered himself an optimist. He used to overthink everything, and his penchant for overthinking situations would often frustrate him and make him miserable. Adam was the kind of person that everyone knew and enjoyed hanging around with; not really popular but rather someone everyone knew and liked.

That was how Adam Dodd used to be.

June 19th, 2005 was the second-most important day in Adam Dodd's life.

On June 19th, 2005, one hundred and twenty teenagers from around the world were kidnapped into what was seen as the largest scale terrorist attack that the world had ever seen. The sheer number of kidnappings was the reason it was seen as such a horrific event. The United States, who suffered the heaviest loss, was at a loss to negotiate with the terrorist known as Danya, who didn't even seem to have a feasible list of demands. He simply wanted to make a statement, or so it seemed. Danya and his team placed the hundred and twenty teenagers on a deserted island in an unknown part of the world and forced them to kill each other, until there was one survivor. To add insult to injury, he then hijacked several television satellites and broadcast the 'competition' world-wide. Many thought it was a new kind of reality television show, which was exactly what Danya had hoped. The government was powerless to stop it, and the ordeal lasted ten days, until finally, on June 29th, 2005, the finally kill was scored and only one teenager remained.

June 29th was the most important day of Adam Dodd's life because it was the day that he became the sole survivor of what would be dubbed as the 'Survival of the Fittest tragedy'.

Three days later, Adam was returned to the United States without any memory or recollection of how. The terrorists managed to vanish into the wind, not to be heard from again. The government was baffled, and a massive reward was posted for the apprehension of Danya and his cohorts, but nothing ever managed to come of it.

After arriving home, Adam found himself severely traumatized by the events. The recurring nightmares persisted for weeks, and the physical scars took months to heal. Adam's psychologists and doctors weren't optimistic that the emotional and mental scars would ever go away, and at the very least that they would take years to heal. In the year after SOTF, Adam was officially diagnosed with PTSD, or Post-Traumatic-Stress Disorder. Following this diagnosis, Adam's family (who by this time had moved back to Canada) began to take steps to hold him back a year from school, in order to cope with his experiences. Much to their shock, Adam vehemently objected to this, insisting that he be allowed to continue. Against their better judgement, they agreed, and Adam returned to school the following September.

Much to the surprise of just about everyone, Adam's grades actually managed to improve than what they'd been before the incident. Thanks to the insomnia that can be associated with sufferers of PTSD, Adam used much of this time to complete his homework assignments, managing to do a solid job on almost all of them. It took Adam just over the requisite three months to overcome the most severe symptoms of his acute PTSD, but some still recur to this day.

Adam suffered a small recurrance of his PTSD midway through grade eleven when it was discovered that two of his best friends had been kidnapped and were participating in the second SOTF, while on an exchange program in the US. Both did not survive the program.

Following the completion of his grade eleven year, Adam recieved a visit from a pair of high-ranking United States Government officials. The men essentially apologized for the kidnapping incident and offerred Adam a compensation package. Evidently, a university in Southern Califonia was very interested in having Adam attend their school, as someone who might be able to give insights upon terrorism and strategies for combatting it, with special focus on a new program devoted entirely towards investigating what could be done to safeguard against the SOTF tragedy from occurring again. Adam would move to California, be given a house free of charge for his family and him to live in, and would recieve free tuition, as well as non-taxable status. Somewhat surprised by the offer, Adam took his time to consider it. Both of his parents did not want him to go, as they felt that moving to the United States was something that they did not want to do. Eventually, Adam decided that finding a way to indirectly fight terrorism was something that he wanted to do, especially if it meant managing to bring down Danya, the figure that haunted his nightmares in the process.

Upon agreeing to the offer, Adam explained to his parents that he didn't expect for them to pick up and move from Canada again. In fact, Adam stated that since he was eighteen years old, moving out on his own might be something that he'd like to try and do. After much discussion, his parents relented, promising thought that they'd be visiting once a month, something to which they kept firm and upheld on.

Upon starting grade twelve, Adam found himself having to start over again...for the third time. Everywhere he went, it seemed that the initial reaction to his presence was that of shock. He had a strange kind of infamy that almost bordered upon celebrity. However, instead of rejecting it and becoming reclusive, Adam had other ideas upon what to do with it.

Today, Adam Dodd still has a strange sort of popularity. Instead of being popular in the traditional sense, he remains someone that everyone knows. He still holds a few close friends, but has a hard time attaching himself to people, as in his experience, they don't live long enough to become his lifelong friends. Now, he is the person that everyone knows, and are almost wary of. Nobody says anything negative towards him, for fear of how he'll react. In fact, that's something that pisses Adam off a little bit, mainly because he feels that they aren't being honest with him.

Adam's now very sarcastic and sardonic, having an air of bitterness about him, that comes from his prior experience. There are still times when his prior self pokes its head through the clouds, and Adam tries his hardest to be like he used to be, but he knows that to revert completely back to his old self is essentially impossible.

Adam is known as an impassioned public speaker, especially when speaking out against terrorism or SOTF. At the beginning of the school year, Adam started an anti-SOTF club at his school, encouraging as many people as possible to join in, so that the true horrors of the program could emerge. Adam did this right at the beginning, when he learned of the general perception that SOTF was a glorified reality television show, something that he knew could not be further from the truth. His club helped dispel this rumor amongst those that joined, and he has often been invited to speak on the subject at other high schools in the area.

While surviving such an experience might have left some people quiet and reclusive, Adam has a surprising degree of self-confidence. He no longer overthinks everything, and finds himself coming to 'hard' decisions far more easily now than he ever did before. He often tries very hard to fit in amongst his peers, but finds it slightly more difficult now than he used to.

While much about him has changed, some things have stayed the same. Adam remains a good listener, and those that count him as a close friend feel that they are lucky to have him as a friend. Adam is still a naturally kind person, though it's been tempered a little bit. He still always means well, even if it gets lost in the translation between his traumatized mind and his peers.

While his PTSD has mainly disappeared, Adam is still slightly jumpy, being startled easily, and still has occasional recurring nightmares about the first SOTF. While he now is able to sleep through a night, he often dreams about the best friends that he misses so often; those being Hawley, Madelaine, Amanda, Andrew, Adam, and Andrew.

Some people find it hard to associate with Adam due to the well-known fact that he has committed twelve different murders and gone unpunished for it. Adam is disturbed at the lack of feeling he has for this, but has learned to accept it. He still feels remorse from time to time, but only when he dwells upon it (which doesn't happen often).

'''Advantages:''' He's lived through one SOTF competition and knows what to expect. He has no problem with killing to survive, as he's already killed twelve people the first time around. Thanks to the first experience, he's got experience with many kinds of different weapons and is somewhat proficient with handling a shotgun. Adam is still intelligent, and is still socially apt, and will likely be able to organize a group quite well, thanks mainly to his 'celebrity'. He's in far better shape this time around. Fought tooth and claw for his life in the first one and succeeded, so he's bound to fight even harder this time.

'''Disadvantages:''' That 'celebrity' could be his downfall. Motivators might feel that killing the winner of the first SOTF could be something that makes them better than the competition, and eliminates what would likely be one of the larger threats for them to win the competition. May have a recurrance of his PTSD upon realiizing his situation, which could cause him to fall apart completely. His left side is physically weaker than his right, thanks to the injuries he sustained last time, and this could present a problem to him. Isn't as well-liked as he was in his previous school, and his fellow students could have a hard time trusting him. Could end up going most of it alone.

V1 participant. Most known for handling [[Stevan Hyde]]. Was originally set to handle [[Seth Mattlock]] for V2, but when he didn't come over to the new board, [[Slayer]] took Seth on instead. [[Bloody Fists (gang)|The gang Seth Mattlock lead]] was named after this handler. He briefly came to the new board after Seth died, but, as many returning veterans do, disappeared again immediately after his return topic.

Vince Samsa

2008-04-09T20:04:27Z

D0ddi0slave: Reverted edit of 0000, changed back to last version by Adam

'''Name:''' Samsa, Vince 
'''Gender:''' Male 
'''Age:''' 16 
'''Grade:''' 10th 
'''Extra Curricular Activity:''' Varsity Football Team (Running Back) 
'''School:''' Barry Coleson High

'''Appearance:''' Vince Samsa stands at 6’7” and weighs a whopping two hundred and eighty pounds. Vince also has short brown hair that is shaved almost completely off (meaning he only has that fuzzy hair) making Vince look very intimidating. Vince also has big blue eyes that he inherited from his mother. He was wearing a white Barry Coleson High football team shirt , Jean shorts that go just past his knees, and he also sported black Nikes.

'''Biography:''' Vince has never had anyone he could call his friend. His mother was a drug dealer and his father was a former college football player whose dreams had never come true. Vince was born on December 25th, 1989... It was the greatest Christmas present his family would get in a long time.

Vince lived a good life till he was five years old, he even got a game boy when he was three. He and his father thought that their good life and wealth would never end… that is till his mother died.

Vince’s mother was killed December 25th, 1994, she was killed by a shotgun blast to the head in front of both Vince and his fathers eyes. As Vince stared at his mothers brains which at that point where spread against the floor of his house he promised himself not to cry.

His money was taken away from his family and soon he learned how it felt to be poor. It was then that his father became a High school football coach at Barry Coleson High. To Vince high school football became a way of life and he soon was obsessed with the game.

At nine he entered a children’s league and he played till he couldn’t anymore and by the time he was fourteen he had become a great football player, so great that he was added to the starting line up of the high school football team as a freshman.

Vince is now considered popular but has no real friends… he feels detached from his peers.

'''Other:''' Vince is on the football team so it obviously makes him fast and strong, Vince may have a problem with death since he was traumatized at such a young age

'''Number:''' 45

'''''The above biography is as written by [[Slacker]]. No edits or alterations have been made to the author's original work.'''''

==

'''Designated Weapon:''' Arcus 94 
'''Conclusion:''' Consider this [[Marcus Roddy]] version 2. What a whopping bout of failed potential that was. Depending if B45 can bring himself to actually play the game, we might have a favourite on our hands...then again, most of the other football players have failed miserably in SOTF. If he gets some weapon that's better than a fan, who knows how much pain B45 will inflict upon everyone else?

== Game Evaluations ==
'''Kills:''' 0

'''Killed by:''' Himself

'''Collected Weapons:'''

'''Allies:''' [[Fredrik Hughes|Fred Hughes]], [[Lyndi Thibodeaux]], [[Elsie Darroch]]

'''Enemies:''' [[Cody Jenson]], [[Lyndi Thibodeaux]], [[Elsie Darroch]], [[Clare Shephard]], [[Ryan Torres]], [[Neville Eden]], [[Dorien Graywood]]

'''Mid-Game Evaluation:''' Vince Samsa joined the game on Day 5, at first he seemed to almost be enthused about participating in SOTF. His rendezvous with [[Cody Jenson]] marked Vince's first experience with death and when he met up with [[Fredrik Hughes]], [[Elsie Darroch]], and [[Lyndi Thibodeaux]] an alliance was formed for a good five minutes. After Fred was killed by Cody Jenson, Vince fled the lighthouse to make a brief visit at the river, it is then that Vince drifted slowly into insanity. Vince then stole smoke grenades from [[Kousaka Takeda]] and said goodbye to the river.

After spending some time thinking about his few hours on the island Vince went to the well where he set a full scale attack on the group there (which consisted of [[Clare Shephard]], [[Neville Eden]], [[Ryan Torres]], and [[Dorien Graywood]]. Vince was then shot at by a shotgun and the force behind that caused him to land on a very sharp rock, knowing the end was near Vince took his own life.

'''Post-Game Evaluation:''' Vince never really had all that much of a handle on reality, and his degeneration into insanity was probably the biggest thing that he had going against him. Obviously, Vince's mind was quite weak, and he either couldn't handle what was going on around him, or simply just awakened some form of sleeping demon. Vince was yet another example of someone who could have been a force to be reckoned with in SOTF, but instead made all the wrong decisions and ended up killing himself - definitely not the smartest choice.

'''Memorable Quotes:'''

== Other/Trivia ==
*Vince Samsa, while very big and intimidating, is actually a very scared person. He thinks his actions out a lot more than he should and it is because of this that Vince Samsa will be considered by some to be a ‘weak’ character, especially towards the beginning.

*Vince also is known for putting up facades. In his debut you will notice that he was planning to play the game but as we get into "Requiem" you see that he doesn’t want to fight. This is also seen in the Lighthouse and due to [[Lyndi Thibodeaux|Lyndi]]’s meddling Vince is forced to play the game or risk losing a potential alliance, something he finds comfort in.

*Vince is the polar opposite of Slacker. While Slacker stands at 4’11” and weighs approximately seventy-five lbs, Vince is 6’7” and weighs two hundred and eighty pounds. However, in terms of personality, Samsa is much more shy than his handler.

*Vince: Name that coincidently kept popping up in the RP’s that Slacker participated in.

*Samsa: Franz Kafka’s "Metamorphosis".

*Vince’s mother is actually based on Slacker's grandfather, who brought the largest amount of heroin into the United States ever. A movie was made about it later. If you are interested “The French Connection” will give you a basic back story for Vince’s mother.

*Vince is not really a Casanova despite his appearance (and being on the football team). Vince has never been in a relationship (well not counting Palmela Handerson, but that is typical for a sixteen year old boy) and quite truthfully is very intimidated by women (reason why Lyndi’s rants affected him so much).

*Vince’s father is the head coach for the Barry Coleson High Football team and was in the running for the Heisman Trophy, he also attended UM and received a degree in Criminal Law ironically. Vince’s father is also the Debate teacher at Barry Coleson High.

*Vince was actually not supposed to be Slacker's flagship (which turned out to be the case). [[Andrew Mutaeneau]] was originally planned as Slacker's flagship, but due to the meddling of the dice rolls and the pot lid Andrew drew as a weapon, Vince transformed into Slacker's flagship.

With Vince I wanted to accomplish something that had never been done on SOTF, as I got deeper into Vince’s personality I realized that his journey from a naïve boy to that of an insane man failed to accomplish what I wanted (a natural progression), but Vince still left me fulfilled, for some very strange reason…

Franco Sebberts

2008-04-09T20:04:01Z

D0ddi0slave: Reverted edit of 0000, changed back to last version by Clueless

'''Name:''' Franco Sebberts 
'''Gender:''' Male 
'''Age:''' 15 
'''Grade:''' Nine 
'''School:''' PJ Gilroy 
'''Homeroom:''' Mrs. Garrick's Homeroom 
'''Extra Curricular Activity:''' None

'''Appearance:''' While his light blue eyes gleam with arrogance, and are strangely intimidating in their confidence, Franco is not an imposing figure. Standing at about 5'6" and being about 135 lbs he is fairly thin, short and for anyone who has been in Franco's gym class, he usually just sits on the sidelines and heckles the less popular kids, attributing to his poor physical fitness. Not exceptional to the eyes, Franco is of average stature and is fairly unremarkable in appearance. His nose is pointed and turned up very slightly and his eyes are wide and blue. His light brown hair is often slicked back or slicked up into a cow-lick and with his uniform always pressed and tidy Franco somewhat resembles a used car salesman with too much dignity.

'''Biography:''' Franco Sebberts was born with a silver spoon clinched tightly in his teeth. Ever since he was a young lad he got everything he could ever want. If he didn't get it, tantrums of cataclysmic proportions would rage throughout the household. To this day his temper has been mostly harnessed and his infrequent tantrums are now restricted to private affairs between Franco and the household staff. Needless to say, the turn-over rate for the staff at the Sebberts home is extremely high, with Franco often firing staff on his own.

Franco’s wrath would not be such a fearful sight if not for his wicked silver tongue. Franco’s vocabulary is severely extensive and his highly fluent speech has been known to surprise even the most intelligent of his father’s colleagues. Franco, thusly, has the reputation of a highly respectable, gentlemanly young man. Most of his leisure time is in fact spent at fancy galas impressing his father’s friends, or at diner parties impressing his mother’s friends. It is for this reason that Franco’s father has seen his son as more of a business partner, and the two share a relationship not unlike two travelling swindlers.

Quick witted and snappy he may be, but Franco is not exceptionally intelligent. His grades at PJ Gilroy are only as good as the money his father pays his tutors, which is very well. In fact the only effort Franco puts into school would be put into socializing. Franco may not be handsome (his appearance is average at best) but he has charisma, and a bounty of social skills which he has utilized to put himself on the top rung of student society. In doing so, Franco has often shown an arrogance and aristocratic ignorance by secluding the less wealthy or significant members of the student body. When his charisma fails him in courting allies, his money often makes up for it by throwing grandiose parties for potential friends. Often bullying people with wicked words and surrounding enemies with his own allies, when confronted alone on one occasion by a student from Bathurst, Franco broke down after a swift punch in the nose. Franco’s vengeance was swift as he and a number of allies descended on the courageous young man the very next day.

Franco has made friends where he sees business partners. Thus most of his friends fall into the popular, rich kid or elitist category but a few fall into the bully or jock category. "It’s useful to have friends in low places". Although he is the ringleader of no single group, what he says, usually goes.

Franco has many friends throughout the school but has not engaged in any serious romantic relationship (though he wishes he could but girls seem 'oddly' un-attracted to his flourished advances) and he does not have any one friend that he would consider his best.

Franco also has a weak heart, and has at infrequent times been submitted to the hospital for treatment. Franco has managed to hide this weakness from most of his peers.

'''Advantages:''' If Franco can keep a level head, he should be foremost in seeking allies on the island. With his connections to many different students, his silver tongue and his manipulative nature Franco may become another force on the island, by encouraging a small army of allies do to what he needs them to do.

'''Disadvantages:''' Franco is not physically fit by any means, and his weak heart could cause problems, since he has no medication for it either. The lose of all his wealthy privileges could be a severe blow at Franco's mentality. Due to his actions in the past, secluding others to further his ascension up the popularity ladder, Franco is also a likely target for dejected boys and girls.

'''Number:''' Male Student No. 2

---

'''Designated Weapon:''' Grenade Launcher + Sponge Grenades x8 
'''Conclusions:''' Franco's got a lot of enemies, sure, but from what I'm hearing he can pretty much sweet talk his way out of anything, so he's got the potential to puppetmaster his allies on the island... maybe even to the point that they'd sacrifice themselves for him. Maybe. Then again, Franco's poor health might be his undoing, especially that weak heart of his.

== Facts about Ryuichi ==
Ryuichi was the only character created by handler [[darkangel]], who joined SOTF on June 30, 2005, as the twenty-sixth member. Ryuichi is perhaps the most infamous of the unapproved characters, seeing as even though he was never accepted into SOTF, he made an appearance on the island, and actually "killed" [[Devi Satome]] in the thread "Arriving at the Hospital". Ryuichi's actions in this thread have caused it to be the only thread in SOTF history to be considered non-canonical.

Ken Lawson

D0ddi0slave: Reverting Vandalism

[[Image:Burtonharris.jpg|thumb|Kenurton, South Park Style]]'''Name:''' Ken Lawson/Burton Harris 
'''Gender:''' Male 
'''Age:''' 19/21 
'''Grade:''' 12/Graduated 
'''School:''' Southridge High School/Hobbsborough High School 
'''Hobbies and Interests:''' School Drama Club, Writing, School Newspaper, Anti-SOTF Activism

'''Appearance:''' Ken is the kind of guy who just sort of blends into the background. While being relatively known as an easygoing guy, most people think of him as a bit of a hippy. With his long, free-flowing black hair that goes down past his shoulders, and the full-out hippy beard that he wears on his face, Ken looks like he belongs in the 1970's, as opposed to 2007. Usually, Ken wears faded blue jeans with a rip in the left knee, and running shoes. He stands at a height of 6'1, and is a lean 150 lbs. When reading, he wears a pair of reading glasses that people say make him look 'scholarly'. The majority of his attire consists of faded rock and metal t-shirts, or zip-open hooded sweatshirts. The final thing to note of Ken is that he has an easygoing pair of blue eyes, and a nonchalant look of utter peacefulness on his face. As stated before, Ken looks every bit the part of the hippy. His eyes can at times appear to be glassy, something that a lot of people don't put too much stock into. Ken doesn't smile a lot, and alternates between looking mellow and purposeful.

'''Biography:''' Ken Lawson is, to be frank, not who he says he is. While his identification all reads 'Ken Lawson' and everything about him checks out, Ken is not, in fact, the real Ken Lawson. He is an imposter.

Approximately one year ago, Ken Lawson attended another high school in another part of the United States. Ken attended Hobbsborough High School in New Jersey, and was known by the name of Burton Harris. Burton was a lot like he was now, and in fact was the teaching assistant of a class of students that were taught by a nice lady named Mrs. Sarannah. What is noteworthy about this is that this class was involved in the second tragedy that was known as Survival of the Fittest: Version 2. While all of the official records show that Burton Harris perished within SOTF V2, this is in fact incorrect information, and attributes itself much in part to luck, on Burton's behalf.

While the rest of the class was scheduled to go on an end of year school trip, Burton REALLY didn't want to go. As a teacher's assistant, he would have to be responsible for the other kids, and would be forced to break his routine of having no routine. This was something that he wasn't prepared to do, mainly because of the fact that Burton was something of a free-spirit, coming and going when he pleased. Thinking ahead, Burton contacted a friend of his; Ken Lawson, and asked if he wouldn't mind going on the trip in his place. Ken had no qualms about doing it, as his parents wouldn't even notice that he was gone. Ken's mother was a hardcore alcoholic, and his father was in prison, so time away would do him some good, he figured. Burton and Ken switched identification, and Ken went on the ill-fated trip with his classmates, while Burton stayed behind, free of the responsibility to his peers.

When the class was kidnapped and forced to participate in the second coming of Survival of the Fittest, Burton felt outrage for perhaps the first time in his entire life. While not being the sort of person who was bothered by much, it was sobering to him how close he'd come to being captured in the sick game, and he began to feel immense guilt at the fact that he'd condemned one of his only friends to die - solely because he hadn't felt like being responsible.

Following V2, Burton was struck with a large problem. Burton Harris was officially, dead. His parents, both medical doctors, were away on an errand of mercy to a small country in a remote portion of Africa, and circumstances dictated that they wouldn't be back for the better portion of a year, hence they wouldn't find out about SOTF until they returned back to the United States. Thinking quickly, Burton wrote them a letter explaining that he'd won a scholarship to a school in Califonia, and would be moving there in the summer. It'd be a mess when they returned home, but Burton reasoned that if Mr. Danya realized he'd missed someone, there might be the very real possibility of reprisal against him. Hence, Burton opted to live his life as Ken Lawson, at least for the time being, or until Danya was neutralized.

Moving to California was something that Burton had always wanted to do. The warm air, laid-back surfer culture and fun-loving subculture of the city appealed to his inner self, and when Ken Lawson arrived and applied at the Southridge High School as a transfer student from New Jersey, everything checked out. Burton figured that he'd be safe, for the time being. He'd have to repeat grade twelve over again, as Ken had been a few years younger than Burton, but that just made it that much easier to fit in.

While he looks to be an easygoing sort, Burton is actually a certified genius. Scoring off-the-charts on the mandatory IQ tests in grades 3 and 6, Burton's parents pushed him (perhaps a little too hard) into pursuing a career in science, more specifically, exploratory medicine. Partly because of this, and partly because of a lack of interest in school itself, Burton's marks slid quite a bit, and throughout school, he's been maintaining a solid B average. He puts in just enough work to get by, and as mentioned, that is because of the fact that he truly gets bored with school.

The one thing that Burton does have passion in is writing. He's an absolutely brilliant writer, and his preferred genre is that of the stage-play. He's written several of the school plays in the past few years, and has been working on a compliation that he plans to release to an editor and try to get published after he graduates from high school. Because of his passion for writing, he is also a part of the school newspaper, and he now writes editorials criticizing the United States government and their response to organized acts of terrorism, such as Survival of the Fittest. He's gained a bit of a following amongst students who are afraid of SOTF, and he's glad that his message seems to be getting out.

Burton doesn't have any crazy idiosyncratic tendancies, he's not a maniac, he's not a sociopath, in fact, he's just a really laid-back slacker, who if he applied himself, would do well. His upbringing wasn't bad, and he's really just the everyday kind of guy that most people know at least one of in school. Burton is fascinated by the competition known as Survival of the Fittest. Ever since Mr. Danya hijacked the television screens, Burton has been intrigued at the motivations behind the group of terrorists, and the general group dynamics that occurred in the competition itself. He keeps rather up-to-date on the program, and has written at least two essays about it. He wrote a play at Hobbsborough which was a condensed version of the actual Survival of the Fittest competition, and while being rather controversial, he believed that it raised questions, more about the way that the entire thing had been handled by both the students and the US Government. Currently Burton is still involved in drama, and because of his own experiences with the SOTF program, he's become even more intrigued, and in fact a little angry by the whole thing.

While not the most social person in the entire world, Burton is kind of laid-back, and very quiet in most contexts. He does prove to be a really smart guy when people address him directly, and often makes good points. He plays bit-parts in the school plays, and doesn't enjoy having the attention or the spotlight on himself. He prefers to stay in the background, but just enjoys being part of the overall performance.

A great majority of the time, Burton is high. While not having a dependancy on marijuana, he enjoys the relaxed feeling that the drug gives him. Like at Hobbsborough, most of the teachers in the school know that he smokes it, and know that he comes to class high, but because of the fact that whenever he actually decides to hand in work, or when the teachers decide to 'teach him a lesson' by springing a surprise test, quiz, or assignment on him, he always aces them, they tend to overlook it. Many a time, Ken will wink at them and cryptically say "you guys'll never learn!" He's smoked so much of it that while it seems like he's permafried, he's mostly always relaxed and it doesn't affect his overall performance. He never carries it on his person in the school though, so when he goes off to actually indulge in it is somewhat of a school mystery.

Burton never loses his cool, and even the most traumatic events don't seem to have much of an affect on him. The one exception to this is his involvement with Survival of the Fittest. While not completely changed by it, Burton feels guilty whenever SOTF is brought up, due to his friend dying in it while taking his place. His motto in life is 'no problem', and he lives by it as his mantra. Burton will, if someone is in dire need of comfort, open himself up to try and make people feel better, but only if they really need it or if they are in a really bad place. Other than that, he's a very closed book, for the most part.

Burton has become aware of the fact that Adam Dodd, the winner of SOTF v1, is attending his school, and has spoken with him upon a few occasions, never disclosing who he truly is. He has been thinking about doing so, if nothing else so that the two of them might be able to band together in a larger brand of activism against the United States and their absolute inability to do anything about Danya.

'''Advantages:''' Burton has above-average intelligence, and is capable of being a very disarming person one moment, and catching you off-guard the next. He reads people well and doesn't trust easily. He's level-headed and doesn't find himself getting angry too easily.

'''Disadvantages:''' Burton doesn't do mornings very well at all, and is often very disoriented. He has an almost addict-like depenance on marijuana for his sense of calm. He feels guilty when people talk about SOTF v2, and this is a point of turmoil for an otherwise level-headed individual. He has very little stamina, thanks to his smoking.

Viktor Kurchatov

2008-04-03T19:34:55Z

D0ddi0slave: /* Game Evaluations */

'''Name:''' Viktor Semyonovitch Kurchatov 
'''Gender:''' Male. 
'''Age:''' 18 
'''Grade:''' 12th 
'''School:''' Southridge High School 
'''Hobbies and Interests:''' Viktor prefers to be around people, bit he stays away from them on the principle that it's difficult for him to speak due to his condition and he's horribly disfigured, leading many people to stay away. He suffered greatly due to being horribly burned in a plane crash. Thus he has a fear of flying or more specifically, planes, though this is founded on his childhood experience. When he has free time, he likes to read books, or play The Sims.

'''Appearance:''' As horrifying a medical history as Viktor has, his appearance is no different. On a first glance one would notice that his dark, almost black eyes are quite, quite red and bloodshot, and his entire face is heavily scarred. They are scars from being burned very severely many years ago. He has what seems to be surgical scars on the back of his neck and if one looks closely, coming from under his hair on the left side of his head. He would've been a decent-looking human being if not for this, and takes on a slightly feminine appearance. Due to the amount of scarring on his face and around his head, displays of emotion are often taken as being threatening or insane, because they appear that way to anyone looking at him; that he is an evil, dog-raping psychopath (At least, that's the rumor going around in some of the more popular circles.) His nose was broken many years ago, and also has a small chunk taken out of the right nostril. Facial disfigurements he might've had after the plane crash, have been mostly fixed by the magic of modern medicine that he's had more than enough of, His face isn't the only place with those scars, though it's the most disfigured; his entire body is covered in them.

Viktor stands at 5'7, and is not as incredibly thin as his face might suggest, being only slightly above being officially underweight. This is not because of any psychological reason; his growth was stunted and his body damaged by being almost burned to death at an incredibly early age. If he hadn't experienced that accident, he would've grown to be quite a tall, bulky person. Despite his medical history he isn't at all fragile, and enjoys getting his hands dirty so to speak. He has medium-length, oily hair, drawn back into a very short ponytail. Without any desire to 'fit in' or 'act out' either, he wears casual clothes often consisting of worn jeans, and plaid shirts. At the time of the SOTF Program he is wearing barely blue, worn out jeans and a black-red plaid shirt with a white tanktop underneath. This often gives him the appearance of a deranged rednec, This assumption is quickly put down when people realize he's actually quite quiet and articulated. He has a tendancy to wear pink running shoes, of all things.

'''Biography:''' Viktor Kurchatov was born and raised near a small town in the Kamchatka Peninsula, the farthest eastern stretch of the Soviet Union, and later, simply Russia.

With only his father to raise him, he lived there for around ten years. He had no friends, and never went to school at that age. His father educated him, taught him how to survive, and they had a comfortable life in their little town. Unbenknownst to Viktor, his father was not a simple man, and had never even been to the Kamchatka area until several years ago, when he had to escape from the Russian government for reasons he never told Viktor. Viktor only knew that once, his father was a scientist. He would tell him great stories of the experiments they'd carried out at the height of Russia's glory. No doubt he wasn't supposed to tell anyone, even his own son, exactly what they were doing, but that Scientist, as far as anyone knew, was long gone, having disappeared years ago. He took the last name Kurchatov, (an homage to the man who led the development of Russia's nuclear program) and then fled, as far as possible from anyone he once knew, including his wife.

When Viktor asked exactly who his mother was, his father would only tell him that she was a 'very bad person' and never took the discussion any further. Viktor was only a young boy, and though curious, didn't suspect anything quite as horrible as what had really happened in his father's past.

One summer's day, Viktor and his father had just walked into their home when the phone rang. It was an odd occurance, for almost no one phoned them besides people who worked with Viktor's father, in the village, and even then he knew they were going to call them most of the time. The man went to pick up the phone, and when he heard what the person on the other line had to say, he nearly collapsed with disbelief. Not telling Viktor exactly why, he ordered him to pack some clothes and anything else he wanted to bring, as they were leaving.

They travelled for days on foot. Viktor didn't ask his father where they were going. He did what he was told, as his father had always taught him. They passed forests, dodged mountains, and ended up in a large clearing by the ocean. There they came upon an old, abandoned airstrip. There a short, portly, bearded man was waiting for the two beside a small plane. The man and his father shook hands, and his father smiled grimly, obviously happy to see the man once again despite the circumstances.

They took off from the decrepit airstrip, and the two older men exchanged whispered dialouge while Viktor sat quietly in the back of the plane. After what seemed like forever, Viktor's Dad moved to the back of the plane where Viktor sat, explaining the situation. There were some bad people after him, and this bearded man was going to help them escape. He said that they were going to America, and that they were going to have a better life there. They landed only for a brief moment in Hawaii to refuel, and then kept on going. Viktor fell asleep on the flight, and awoke to his father tapping him on the shoulder, telling him that they had finally arrived in America. Viktor looked out of the window, seeing land just a few hundred feet below him. His father's mood was drastically changed, and he now seemed incredibly optimistic. Later he would tell Viktor that he and this bearded man (Whom Viktor never knew the name of) were planning the trip for months, and that the people who were after his father would never find him. The villiagers would think they had perished in a fire in their home.

As the plane began to descend, their hopes and dreams were quickly broken. The landing gear on the plane only deployed halfway, and the front half of the plane, including the pilot, was shredded on impact. Viktor and his father were thrown from the plane which had torn open when it hit the ground. His father was the lucky one, and was thrown far from the crash, breaking his spine on impact with the ground and being lacerated by flying debris.

Viktor, however, was only thrown some distance away, and was bathed in flames from the resulting explosion, and burned for several seconds before Emergency Response Crews could assist him. He suffered from horrible burns all over his body, the most damage concentrated on his midsection, and face. As well, he suffered a small degree of brain damage making it difficult for him to speak. It takes him some time to put together sentences and this was an irreversible condition.

Viktor and his father were both rushed to the hospital. Viktor's father suffered from several fractures and a severed spinal cord. He would be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Viktor, on the other hand, was burned beyond recognition. They spent several hours putting him into a mostly stable condition and he experienced the most intense pain imaginable. It took weeks of surgical procedures, some of which had to be improvised because of the degree of damage. It was a miracle he got out of it with his life. Horrifically, there was so much damage to his genitals that they were unable to recover... anything and only had the capacity to fix the tissue around the damaged area. Medically, he is barely a man anymore.

It took some time to recover from this horrible ordeal, but afterwards they were able to secure their papers which had, along with most of the plane's cargo and the two passengers, been thrown some distance away. They were Semyon and Viktor Kurchatov, ill-fated immigrants from the Port City of Vladivostok. It took some time to learn English, which his father knew (Well enough) beforehand, as well as what Viktor would pick up from the other schoolchildren. Those that would even talk to him. He was a stranger, an immigrant, and one with horrible burn scars. Viktor's father had been able to get enough money from the bearded man's sources to pay for the expensive operations that would at least make Viktor's face look remotely human. He was still, as many of his 'peers' (jocks) put it - "Fuck ugly" but not as bad as he could've looked.

Presently he attends Southridge High School in the town of Highland Beach, and is finishing 12th grade this year. Still he has barely any friends, but is doing quite well in High School despite problems he has in lingustics. Not because English is his second language (he has a firm grasp of it, having started learning the language at ten years old) but because of brain damage he suffered in the crash affecting his speech centers. He can still write, and is quite well spoken, but it takes him some time to 'pull things out of the air' and to normally speak in conversation it is quite difficult.

Emotionally, Viktor is a bit of a wreak. A considerable degree of angst has come from the fact that he is medically not a man anymore yet is still attracted to girls, making his life almost completely miserable. He has next to no friends and is forced to stay indoors because of damage to his eyes that he suffered in the crash; it makes him incredibly sensitive to light. In this he has found common ground with Ivye Dewley, and even has a bit of a crush on her.

One thing that seems to bother his father is that Viktor has become increasingly more brooding in his teenage years; moreso than he'd expect. He has seen Viktor doing some increasingly strange things. Terrible things. Now a parapeleigic, he no longer commands the authority over his 'son' like he did before. He has begun to fear for his life.

'''Advantages:''' Very few. Viktor at an early age learned how to survive in some very harsh enviroments, and he is quite intelligent having gotten a head-start from his father's rather advanced homeschooling. Viktor is quite disciplined, and nearly burning to death has given him an increasingly large tolerance to pain. He's become accustomed to the taste of blood, and seems to enjoy it.

'''Disadvantages:''' Viktor is by all definitions a freak among his peers. He has no friends, no connections to anyone, and is quite creepy looking. It is quite difficult for him to communicate to people due to the brain damage he sustained in the crash, and as mentioned before his ghoulish appearance might unnerve some people, considering the amount of deranged psychopaths running about the island this time around.

'''Conclusions:''' A burn victim, huh? Can't say we've had one of these before... at least not one who was burned BEFORE they came into SOTF. This guy's quite the little wild card. Nobody ever wanted him around, so I think he'd have a hard time doing anything BUT playing the game. Not that we mind here at HQ. Hahaha!

Adam Dodd (V3)

2008-04-03T19:30:07Z

D0ddi0slave: /* Game Evaluations */

[[Image:Adamdoddv3.jpg|thumb|Adam, South Park Style]]'''Name:''' Adam Dodd 
'''Gender:''' Male 
'''Age:''' 19 
'''Grade:''' 12th 
'''School:''' Southridge 
'''Hobbies and Interests:''' Hockey, Writing, Public Speaking, Track and Field, Photography

'''Appearance:''' The first impression that one gets when they look at Adam Dodd is that he is someone who is haunted by his past. His brown eyes betray an intelligence about them, but the intelligence in his eyes are not the most prominent thing that you'd notice about them - that would in fact be the look of suspicion and guardedness that are basically stamped across his forehead. He wears his orangey-red hair a little longer than he'd particularily like to; long enough to come halfway down his ears and obstruct his forehead. It's a style that doesn't look bad on him, and because of the pure number of 'shaggy-haired surfers' around California, it doesn't appear out of place on him. Of course, this haircut is purely by necessity rather than want.

Adam usually wears stubble on his face, and only shaves once every couple of days, mainly because of the fact that most mornings, he can't be bothered. It alternates between making him look hardened and like he perpetually just got out of bed; both of which could be seen as accurate. The stubble also adds a few years to his percieved age, a feature that he's essentially had since the age of 13. Today, at 19, Adam manages to easily pass for a 23 to 26 year old, and it leads to him being carded very infrequently if he ever opts to go to a bar.

Physically, Adam is in the best shape he's ever been in. From the ages of fourteen to sixteen, Adam was mildly overweight, and felt very self-conscious about it. He didn't eat properly and his endurance and sports ability sufferred as a result. It took an entirely traumatic experience for Adam to turn this around, but in the two and a half years past, he's managed to do just that. Now down thirty-five pounds from his former weight of 210, Adam tips the scales at about 175 lbs, managing to keep himself in good enough shape to perform adequately at basically any sport that he wants to, aside from volleyball.

Most of Adam's muscle-weight comes from his legs, which are the most muscular part of his body, much in part to the fact that he started taking a very active interest in track and field once he turned seventeen. The only fat that one can really see on his body is around his stomach area, and manages to be the remnants of his formerly larger gut; though it's barely noticable now.

In terms of wardrobe, Adam dresses fairly conservatively. He's usually found in dark blue jeans that are loose enough for comfort, but tight enough that they look appropriate for going out in, and moving quickly if ever necessary. Even though the California weather doesn't make it practical to wear jeans all the time, Adam usually does, very rarely opting to wear shorts. On the odd time that he does, he usually wears greenish-brown khaki pants with zip-off legs that he converts into shorts. Aside from that, Adam is almost always found in a t-shirt. Most of the ones he owns are varying shades of black or blue, but the odd green or white shirt manages to sneak its way into his wardrobe as well. When it's colder, or later on at night, Adam usually wears a dark blue hoodie, unzippable down the front. He has two or three that he alternates between, and hence he's not usually seen wearing much else. Upon very rare occasions, Adam has been spotted wearing various hockey jerseys, and rumors say that he's got an extensive collection, but nobody sees him wearing them all that much.

Adam has a multitude of scarring spanning a great deal of his body. His left ear has been surgically reconstructed, and while it resembles a real ear to anyone who gives it a passing glance, it's really just a hunk of flesh that resembles an ear to anyone who looks any closer. That, of course, is the main reason that Adam wears his hair longer. His left arm has a long scar in the upper portion, and while it has healed well, Adam occasionally finds that arm weaker than the other. His left hand has scarring on the palm, but it isn't that noticable to those who shake his hand. His left shoulder also is scarred right across the top, almost like someone took a magic marker and ran a line right across it. The wound was not a serious one, but the scarring remains, and is indeed something people have noticed before. Over the rest of his body, small nicks and abraisions have healed over time but left small scars to remind Adam of their presence. Finally, his chest still remains slightly discoloured with a bluish hue, bruises that never seemed to disappear.

'''Biography:''' Adam Dodd used to be a happy-go-lucky kind of guy, the kind of guy that was the type of person that everyone knew as a 'really good guy'. He enjoyed making his friends laugh and was the kind of person who was quick with a joke to make people feel better in sadder times. Adam had a very genuine love for life, and considered himself an optimist. He used to overthink everything, and his penchant for overthinking situations would often frustrate him and make him miserable. Adam was the kind of person that everyone knew and enjoyed hanging around with; not really popular but rather someone everyone knew and liked.

That was how Adam Dodd used to be.

June 19th, 2005 was the second-most important day in Adam Dodd's life.

On June 19th, 2005, one hundred and twenty teenagers from around the world were kidnapped into what was seen as the largest scale terrorist attack that the world had ever seen. The sheer number of kidnappings was the reason it was seen as such a horrific event. The United States, who suffered the heaviest loss, was at a loss to negotiate with the terrorist known as Danya, who didn't even seem to have a feasible list of demands. He simply wanted to make a statement, or so it seemed. Danya and his team placed the hundred and twenty teenagers on a deserted island in an unknown part of the world and forced them to kill each other, until there was one survivor. To add insult to injury, he then hijacked several television satellites and broadcast the 'competition' world-wide. Many thought it was a new kind of reality television show, which was exactly what Danya had hoped. The government was powerless to stop it, and the ordeal lasted ten days, until finally, on June 29th, 2005, the finally kill was scored and only one teenager remained.

June 29th was the most important day of Adam Dodd's life because it was the day that he became the sole survivor of what would be dubbed as the 'Survival of the Fittest tragedy'.

Three days later, Adam was returned to the United States without any memory or recollection of how. The terrorists managed to vanish into the wind, not to be heard from again. The government was baffled, and a massive reward was posted for the apprehension of Danya and his cohorts, but nothing ever managed to come of it.

After arriving home, Adam found himself severely traumatized by the events. The recurring nightmares persisted for weeks, and the physical scars took months to heal. Adam's psychologists and doctors weren't optimistic that the emotional and mental scars would ever go away, and at the very least that they would take years to heal. In the year after SOTF, Adam was officially diagnosed with PTSD, or Post-Traumatic-Stress Disorder. Following this diagnosis, Adam's family (who by this time had moved back to Canada) began to take steps to hold him back a year from school, in order to cope with his experiences. Much to their shock, Adam vehemently objected to this, insisting that he be allowed to continue. Against their better judgement, they agreed, and Adam returned to school the following September.

Much to the surprise of just about everyone, Adam's grades actually managed to improve than what they'd been before the incident. Thanks to the insomnia that can be associated with sufferers of PTSD, Adam used much of this time to complete his homework assignments, managing to do a solid job on almost all of them. It took Adam just over the requisite three months to overcome the most severe symptoms of his acute PTSD, but some still recur to this day.

Adam suffered a small recurrance of his PTSD midway through grade eleven when it was discovered that two of his best friends had been kidnapped and were participating in the second SOTF, while on an exchange program in the US. Both did not survive the program.

Following the completion of his grade eleven year, Adam recieved a visit from a pair of high-ranking United States Government officials. The men essentially apologized for the kidnapping incident and offerred Adam a compensation package. Evidently, a university in Southern Califonia was very interested in having Adam attend their school, as someone who might be able to give insights upon terrorism and strategies for combatting it, with special focus on a new program devoted entirely towards investigating what could be done to safeguard against the SOTF tragedy from occurring again. Adam would move to California, be given a house free of charge for his family and him to live in, and would recieve free tuition, as well as non-taxable status. Somewhat surprised by the offer, Adam took his time to consider it. Both of his parents did not want him to go, as they felt that moving to the United States was something that they did not want to do. Eventually, Adam decided that finding a way to indirectly fight terrorism was something that he wanted to do, especially if it meant managing to bring down Danya, the figure that haunted his nightmares in the process.

Upon agreeing to the offer, Adam explained to his parents that he didn't expect for them to pick up and move from Canada again. In fact, Adam stated that since he was eighteen years old, moving out on his own might be something that he'd like to try and do. After much discussion, his parents relented, promising thought that they'd be visiting once a month, something to which they kept firm and upheld on.

Upon starting grade twelve, Adam found himself having to start over again...for the third time. Everywhere he went, it seemed that the initial reaction to his presence was that of shock. He had a strange kind of infamy that almost bordered upon celebrity. However, instead of rejecting it and becoming reclusive, Adam had other ideas upon what to do with it.

Today, Adam Dodd still has a strange sort of popularity. Instead of being popular in the traditional sense, he remains someone that everyone knows. He still holds a few close friends, but has a hard time attaching himself to people, as in his experience, they don't live long enough to become his lifelong friends. Now, he is the person that everyone knows, and are almost wary of. Nobody says anything negative towards him, for fear of how he'll react. In fact, that's something that pisses Adam off a little bit, mainly because he feels that they aren't being honest with him.

Adam's now very sarcastic and sardonic, having an air of bitterness about him, that comes from his prior experience. There are still times when his prior self pokes its head through the clouds, and Adam tries his hardest to be like he used to be, but he knows that to revert completely back to his old self is essentially impossible.

Adam is known as an impassioned public speaker, especially when speaking out against terrorism or SOTF. At the beginning of the school year, Adam started an anti-SOTF club at his school, encouraging as many people as possible to join in, so that the true horrors of the program could emerge. Adam did this right at the beginning, when he learned of the general perception that SOTF was a glorified reality television show, something that he knew could not be further from the truth. His club helped dispel this rumor amongst those that joined, and he has often been invited to speak on the subject at other high schools in the area.

While surviving such an experience might have left some people quiet and reclusive, Adam has a surprising degree of self-confidence. He no longer overthinks everything, and finds himself coming to 'hard' decisions far more easily now than he ever did before. He often tries very hard to fit in amongst his peers, but finds it slightly more difficult now than he used to.

While much about him has changed, some things have stayed the same. Adam remains a good listener, and those that count him as a close friend feel that they are lucky to have him as a friend. Adam is still a naturally kind person, though it's been tempered a little bit. He still always means well, even if it gets lost in the translation between his traumatized mind and his peers.

While his PTSD has mainly disappeared, Adam is still slightly jumpy, being startled easily, and still has occasional recurring nightmares about the first SOTF. While he now is able to sleep through a night, he often dreams about the best friends that he misses so often; those being Hawley, Madelaine, Amanda, Andrew, Adam, and Andrew.

Some people find it hard to associate with Adam due to the well-known fact that he has committed twelve different murders and gone unpunished for it. Adam is disturbed at the lack of feeling he has for this, but has learned to accept it. He still feels remorse from time to time, but only when he dwells upon it (which doesn't happen often).

'''Advantages:''' He's lived through one SOTF competition and knows what to expect. He has no problem with killing to survive, as he's already killed twelve people the first time around. Thanks to the first experience, he's got experience with many kinds of different weapons and is somewhat proficient with handling a shotgun. Adam is still intelligent, and is still socially apt, and will likely be able to organize a group quite well, thanks mainly to his 'celebrity'. He's in far better shape this time around. Fought tooth and claw for his life in the first one and succeeded, so he's bound to fight even harder this time.

'''Disadvantages:''' That 'celebrity' could be his downfall. Motivators might feel that killing the winner of the first SOTF could be something that makes them better than the competition, and eliminates what would likely be one of the larger threats for them to win the competition. May have a recurrance of his PTSD upon realiizing his situation, which could cause him to fall apart completely. His left side is physically weaker than his right, thanks to the injuries he sustained last time, and this could present a problem to him. Isn't as well-liked as he was in his previous school, and his fellow students could have a hard time trusting him. Could end up going most of it alone.

*''"Wait, let me get this straight? You'd kill a puppy?! YOU, my friend, are one sick fuck!"''''' - to Gabriel Theobaldt, as the latter explained to Adam just how far he was willing to go in SOTF'''
 
*''"You don't seem to get it, but the way to get out of this game IS NOT to play to win! That's just fuckin' stupidity! You've got to do the smart thing, and play to survive. Survival of the Fittest. That's what he nicknames it. If you play to win, to kill everyone else, you won't last.

Gabriel Theobaldt

2008-04-03T19:27:16Z

D0ddi0slave: /* Game Evaluations */

'''Name:''' Gabriel Theobaldt 
'''Gender:''' Male 
'''Age:''' 18 
'''Grade:''' 12 
'''School:''' Southridge 
'''Hobbies and Interests:''' Machines, Archaic Weapons, Survival of the Fittest, Astrophysics, Philosophy.

'''Appearance:''' Standing at nearly 6'11, Gabriel is extremely tall, decently muscular, and has made sure to stay in shape to balance out his weak knee. He dwarfs most students in both height and build. Because of this reason it's actually quite difficult for him to find decent clothes, let alone a cane long enough. During Public School, Gabriel was never really that tall, but grew tremendously during a growth spurt earlier in high school, and has only just stopped growing towards the end of last year. He used to have shoulder-length, dark-brown hair, but had it cut short before SOTF. It is now a very, very light brown. He has a very light complexion, odd for someone living in this climate.

Gabriel usually dresses in dark red tones, though he prefers jeans over any other type of pants. Usually, he wears darker jeans. Gabriel has a scar moving from his forehead down his left eye, the result of being slashed in the face with a kitchen knife by his father. His face is almost reptillian in nature, quick, and hiding a truly evil personality. His knee injury is the result of a fire axe shattering parts of his knee.

'''Biography:''' Gabriel Theobaldt was born in Highland Beach, California, and has lived there his entire life. Gabriel's experiences tell a sad story of a boy who, disturbed through what he has experienced, has begun to live in a destructive dreamworld.

Gabriel lives with his mother and father in a small suburb of Highland Beach. To the common observer, he looks to be normal enough in personality, but he hides a deep rage inside of him. He has no love or compassion, no morals or ethics, and no value of human life. He wasn't always this way.

Years ago, he was just a normal guy. The boy had always been moderately successful in school, made many friends, and was always a fun, good person. His best friend was [[Karl Van Buren]], a boy who was known for his notoriously 'bad luck'. Karl told stories of the things that he has witnessed. Highways collapsing, people sucked into jet engines, horrific tales of what seems to be bad luck following him around. Most people didn't believe him, they said it was too far fetched, and that something that glaringly supernatural couldn't possibly happen. Gabriel, however, believed Karl. The two became best friends, sharing similar eccentricities. However, towards the end of February of their eighth grade year, the two were travelling on the bus to school. What Gabriel saw, was his friend, Karl, suddenly pick up the fire axe that had slid from it's holder on the bus, and start mercilessly hacking away at Gabriel's knee. He didn't know why Karl would do this, and Gabriel passed out from shock moments later.

When he awoke, he was told that "The bus had just hit a pothole, and the fire axe normally used for breaking windows soared through the air, cutting apart the ear of a boy sitting in front of them, and landing in Gabriel's knee." The angle that it hit, coupled with the angle of his leg, caused his entire knee to fracture entirely, almost his entire kneecap ripping from the skin. He knew better than that. Gabriel tried to tell them what really happened, but Karl said he couldn't remember anything. Gabriel would pressure the adults for answers, but he recieved none.

The experience was traumatic for Gabriel, and him and Karl never spoke again afterwards.

Gradually afterwards, Gabriel became more and more reclusive, spending almost no time with his friends. At home, he would sit and read books. His interests dwindled and disappeared. Aspirations that he'd always talked about vanished. All he ever did was just gather more and more information. Gabriel took things apart; watches, calculators, appliances... He would study each individual part of them before putting them back together again.

He became quite disillusioned with his Mother and Father, and his younger brother Shane. Shane would often try and talk to him, and Gabriel would just tell him to get away from him. Shane eventually stopped trying. This continued for years, Gabriel occasionally coming back to his usual self once in a while, but then returning to his reclusiveness. It seems to get even worse when someone mentions his knee, or more specifically, Karl.

Talking to Gabriel, if one ever gets the opportunity, is about as full of emotion as talking to a computer. Coldly, he will try to end conversations as soon as possible, and when pressured, will "drag a person through their own stupidity" before walking away.

Life in High School was uneventful for him, but then, came Survival of The Fittest. Gabriel was an avid watcher of SOTF V1, taking quite a bit of interest, much to the dismay of his parents. But it was in V2 that he really took a disturbing interest in the program, particularly one participant - [[Oliver Dodd]].

Oliver wasn't one of the leading killers, nor was he one of the most popular. But Gabriel saw in him a great deal of similarities in him than in anyone else. They looked similar, had the same disability, the same motivations... It was a revelation for him. Gabriel seemed to draw some kind of bizzare inspiration from this psychotic, chaos-driven boy. He immediately became more sociable, more upbeat, and 'happy'. This was, of course, all a cover. Gabriel had lost all love or compassion for anyone, and wasn't happy unless others were suffering. But this wasn't Sadism; pain didn't make him happy, it was the fact that he knew he was alive and well, while others were suffering. Logically one of his primary interests are horror movies, films like the Saw series... they make him laugh.

Even when Oliver was shot to death by [[Damien Carter-Madison]], something that could easily be his fate should the terrorists come to his school; Gabriel simply sat in front of the television, cracked his massive knuckles, then got up and walked away.

Gabriel is in all senses of the word, a Sociopath, and an Egomaniac. Given the opportunity, he would murder a child if it got in his way. But, he thinks, "Get out of Jail Free" cards are hard to come by in real life." Though he does have no problem discussing his disturbing thoughts with those close to him. Now he is more open to his family than ever, and they now know exactly what is going on in his head, and it scares them. Shane is now ashamed to even have someone as insane as he is for a brother. At one point, his Father lost his patience with Gabriel, and ranted and raved about how 'messed up' his son was, and that he envied the other fathers with normal sons. Gabriel, thinking very highly of himself, and that he was indeed far more than extraordinary, attempted to attack his father, which he towered over. His father brandished a kitchen knife to defend himself, warning Gabriel not to come any closer, but he did, and was slashed twice. This was kept quite quiet, and Gabriel has stopped talking with his parents completely. They have not tried to get psychiatric help for him, out of fear. As well, Gabriel is a masterful actor, and is able to change his personality on a whim. To anyone outside of his home, he appears to be very calm, if not slightly creepy.

Nowadays, Gabriel occupies his time 'working' dilligently in school, getting marks that aren't his. He uses the "Academic types" as he calls them, to get past all of the trivialities of school. Gabriel has mastered the art of concealing his true personality from his peers, and is even gaining some friends. He still has bouts of rage from time to time, and is quite aggressive verbally and physically. On several occasions he has quietly threatened to kill other students. His true 'Goal' that he refers to often is unknown still, though he does want to write himself into history, there is still some unkown, 'extraordinary' purpose he wishes to serve. He scarcely thinks of Survival Of The Fittest anymore, since Version Two ended some time earlier.

But his barely contained rage may not be able to stay within him much longer.

'''Advantages:''' With a cold passion for destruction and almost no compassion for anyone, Gabriel will eagerly attempt to kill anyone he wishes. He is completely emotionally detatched from his family, and thinks that he has very little to lose. As well, he comes across as a sincere, kind person, someone who would be readily trusted. His enemies see a different side of him, a rage that will never, ever die down. Gabriel has been known to take pleasure in general destruction of property and life itself, and believes that by killing a person, he is simply removing an obstacle in his way. He believes that he is an extraordinary person, destined for a greater purpose than everyone else, and that by killing 'ordinary' people, he is doing them a favor because they won't fare off any better after they leave the island.

Gabriel is a very durable person, and in addition to his size advantage, he is quite visibly intimidating. Gabriel loves to take things apart and try to understand how they work; this could come in handy if one of his weapons is broken, not to mention that he has sketched (and in one case, built) many cruel weapons. Gabriel is generally avoided for his reputation amongst those who know him better, for being completely souless. Though he carries a cane, it is more of a precaution, as he can walk decently without it, albeit having less balance than he normally would. Overall, he desires to make the name of Gabriel Theobaldt known to everyone.

'''Disadvantages:''' Ironically, for someone his size, one of his legs is in awful shape. Being crippled by what he says was Karl Van Buren attacking him, it is one of his most obvious weaknesses. He does wear a protective knee brace, which will stop most overt physical attacks on it, but not a bullet or a baseball bat. Also, he finds it difficult to contain his rage at points, and might get sloppy if he comes across anything that strikes a nerve. His lack of well-established social connections also means that he will have no real group of close friends on the island, and will probably make less of an attempt to backstab someone than to just kill them outright, putting him in a dangerous place. Gabriel often thinks in the abstract, and the unorthodox solutions that may save his life may also end it. As mentioned before, he thinks that he has nothing to lose, and places a low value on human life.... except his own, and he ultimately fears death over everything else.

'''Conclusions:''' I could have sworn I saw this exact same kid running around last season. No? Where do we find these people, anyway? This one's quite the odd cookie, he's apparently obsessed with one of last season's contestants... and one that didn't make it very far, if I recall correctly. I wonder what would happen if he met up with [[Adam Dodd|B77]]?

== Other/Trivia ==

*Gabriel has changed considerably from his original pre-game profile, in which he was more or less the same character as [[Oliver Dodd]]. Atomic Waffle felt the character was silly, and after some mostly negative remarks, he changed into the character he is now.

*An interesting incident during pre-game was when Gabriel was questioned by the police about some strange things happening around the neighborhood. An anonymous tip, as well as his reputation, led to them questioning him about some pets, missing in the neighborhood, and disturbing messages written on the sides of houses. Gabriel managed to convince them he had nothing to do with it, and indeed, he didn't. He suspects someone attempted to frame him to cover up their own misdeeds.

Adam Dodd (V3)

2008-04-03T03:28:01Z

D0ddi0slave: /* Game Evaluations */

[[Image:Adamdoddv3.jpg|thumb|Adam, South Park Style]]'''Name:''' Adam Dodd 
'''Gender:''' Male 
'''Age:''' 19 
'''Grade:''' 12th 
'''School:''' Southridge 
'''Hobbies and Interests:''' Hockey, Writing, Public Speaking, Track and Field, Photography

'''Appearance:''' The first impression that one gets when they look at Adam Dodd is that he is someone who is haunted by his past. His brown eyes betray an intelligence about them, but the intelligence in his eyes are not the most prominent thing that you'd notice about them - that would in fact be the look of suspicion and guardedness that are basically stamped across his forehead. He wears his orangey-red hair a little longer than he'd particularily like to; long enough to come halfway down his ears and obstruct his forehead. It's a style that doesn't look bad on him, and because of the pure number of 'shaggy-haired surfers' around California, it doesn't appear out of place on him. Of course, this haircut is purely by necessity rather than want.

Adam usually wears stubble on his face, and only shaves once every couple of days, mainly because of the fact that most mornings, he can't be bothered. It alternates between making him look hardened and like he perpetually just got out of bed; both of which could be seen as accurate. The stubble also adds a few years to his percieved age, a feature that he's essentially had since the age of 13. Today, at 19, Adam manages to easily pass for a 23 to 26 year old, and it leads to him being carded very infrequently if he ever opts to go to a bar.

Physically, Adam is in the best shape he's ever been in. From the ages of fourteen to sixteen, Adam was mildly overweight, and felt very self-conscious about it. He didn't eat properly and his endurance and sports ability sufferred as a result. It took an entirely traumatic experience for Adam to turn this around, but in the two and a half years past, he's managed to do just that. Now down thirty-five pounds from his former weight of 210, Adam tips the scales at about 175 lbs, managing to keep himself in good enough shape to perform adequately at basically any sport that he wants to, aside from volleyball.

Most of Adam's muscle-weight comes from his legs, which are the most muscular part of his body, much in part to the fact that he started taking a very active interest in track and field once he turned seventeen. The only fat that one can really see on his body is around his stomach area, and manages to be the remnants of his formerly larger gut; though it's barely noticable now.

In terms of wardrobe, Adam dresses fairly conservatively. He's usually found in dark blue jeans that are loose enough for comfort, but tight enough that they look appropriate for going out in, and moving quickly if ever necessary. Even though the California weather doesn't make it practical to wear jeans all the time, Adam usually does, very rarely opting to wear shorts. On the odd time that he does, he usually wears greenish-brown khaki pants with zip-off legs that he converts into shorts. Aside from that, Adam is almost always found in a t-shirt. Most of the ones he owns are varying shades of black or blue, but the odd green or white shirt manages to sneak its way into his wardrobe as well. When it's colder, or later on at night, Adam usually wears a dark blue hoodie, unzippable down the front. He has two or three that he alternates between, and hence he's not usually seen wearing much else. Upon very rare occasions, Adam has been spotted wearing various hockey jerseys, and rumors say that he's got an extensive collection, but nobody sees him wearing them all that much.

Adam has a multitude of scarring spanning a great deal of his body. His left ear has been surgically reconstructed, and while it resembles a real ear to anyone who gives it a passing glance, it's really just a hunk of flesh that resembles an ear to anyone who looks any closer. That, of course, is the main reason that Adam wears his hair longer. His left arm has a long scar in the upper portion, and while it has healed well, Adam occasionally finds that arm weaker than the other. His left hand has scarring on the palm, but it isn't that noticable to those who shake his hand. His left shoulder also is scarred right across the top, almost like someone took a magic marker and ran a line right across it. The wound was not a serious one, but the scarring remains, and is indeed something people have noticed before. Over the rest of his body, small nicks and abraisions have healed over time but left small scars to remind Adam of their presence. Finally, his chest still remains slightly discoloured with a bluish hue, bruises that never seemed to disappear.

'''Biography:''' Adam Dodd used to be a happy-go-lucky kind of guy, the kind of guy that was the type of person that everyone knew as a 'really good guy'. He enjoyed making his friends laugh and was the kind of person who was quick with a joke to make people feel better in sadder times. Adam had a very genuine love for life, and considered himself an optimist. He used to overthink everything, and his penchant for overthinking situations would often frustrate him and make him miserable. Adam was the kind of person that everyone knew and enjoyed hanging around with; not really popular but rather someone everyone knew and liked.

That was how Adam Dodd used to be.

June 19th, 2005 was the second-most important day in Adam Dodd's life.

On June 19th, 2005, one hundred and twenty teenagers from around the world were kidnapped into what was seen as the largest scale terrorist attack that the world had ever seen. The sheer number of kidnappings was the reason it was seen as such a horrific event. The United States, who suffered the heaviest loss, was at a loss to negotiate with the terrorist known as Danya, who didn't even seem to have a feasible list of demands. He simply wanted to make a statement, or so it seemed. Danya and his team placed the hundred and twenty teenagers on a deserted island in an unknown part of the world and forced them to kill each other, until there was one survivor. To add insult to injury, he then hijacked several television satellites and broadcast the 'competition' world-wide. Many thought it was a new kind of reality television show, which was exactly what Danya had hoped. The government was powerless to stop it, and the ordeal lasted ten days, until finally, on June 29th, 2005, the finally kill was scored and only one teenager remained.

June 29th was the most important day of Adam Dodd's life because it was the day that he became the sole survivor of what would be dubbed as the 'Survival of the Fittest tragedy'.

Three days later, Adam was returned to the United States without any memory or recollection of how. The terrorists managed to vanish into the wind, not to be heard from again. The government was baffled, and a massive reward was posted for the apprehension of Danya and his cohorts, but nothing ever managed to come of it.

After arriving home, Adam found himself severely traumatized by the events. The recurring nightmares persisted for weeks, and the physical scars took months to heal. Adam's psychologists and doctors weren't optimistic that the emotional and mental scars would ever go away, and at the very least that they would take years to heal. In the year after SOTF, Adam was officially diagnosed with PTSD, or Post-Traumatic-Stress Disorder. Following this diagnosis, Adam's family (who by this time had moved back to Canada) began to take steps to hold him back a year from school, in order to cope with his experiences. Much to their shock, Adam vehemently objected to this, insisting that he be allowed to continue. Against their better judgement, they agreed, and Adam returned to school the following September.

Much to the surprise of just about everyone, Adam's grades actually managed to improve than what they'd been before the incident. Thanks to the insomnia that can be associated with sufferers of PTSD, Adam used much of this time to complete his homework assignments, managing to do a solid job on almost all of them. It took Adam just over the requisite three months to overcome the most severe symptoms of his acute PTSD, but some still recur to this day.

Adam suffered a small recurrance of his PTSD midway through grade eleven when it was discovered that two of his best friends had been kidnapped and were participating in the second SOTF, while on an exchange program in the US. Both did not survive the program.

Following the completion of his grade eleven year, Adam recieved a visit from a pair of high-ranking United States Government officials. The men essentially apologized for the kidnapping incident and offerred Adam a compensation package. Evidently, a university in Southern Califonia was very interested in having Adam attend their school, as someone who might be able to give insights upon terrorism and strategies for combatting it, with special focus on a new program devoted entirely towards investigating what could be done to safeguard against the SOTF tragedy from occurring again. Adam would move to California, be given a house free of charge for his family and him to live in, and would recieve free tuition, as well as non-taxable status. Somewhat surprised by the offer, Adam took his time to consider it. Both of his parents did not want him to go, as they felt that moving to the United States was something that they did not want to do. Eventually, Adam decided that finding a way to indirectly fight terrorism was something that he wanted to do, especially if it meant managing to bring down Danya, the figure that haunted his nightmares in the process.

Upon agreeing to the offer, Adam explained to his parents that he didn't expect for them to pick up and move from Canada again. In fact, Adam stated that since he was eighteen years old, moving out on his own might be something that he'd like to try and do. After much discussion, his parents relented, promising thought that they'd be visiting once a month, something to which they kept firm and upheld on.

Upon starting grade twelve, Adam found himself having to start over again...for the third time. Everywhere he went, it seemed that the initial reaction to his presence was that of shock. He had a strange kind of infamy that almost bordered upon celebrity. However, instead of rejecting it and becoming reclusive, Adam had other ideas upon what to do with it.

Today, Adam Dodd still has a strange sort of popularity. Instead of being popular in the traditional sense, he remains someone that everyone knows. He still holds a few close friends, but has a hard time attaching himself to people, as in his experience, they don't live long enough to become his lifelong friends. Now, he is the person that everyone knows, and are almost wary of. Nobody says anything negative towards him, for fear of how he'll react. In fact, that's something that pisses Adam off a little bit, mainly because he feels that they aren't being honest with him.

Adam's now very sarcastic and sardonic, having an air of bitterness about him, that comes from his prior experience. There are still times when his prior self pokes its head through the clouds, and Adam tries his hardest to be like he used to be, but he knows that to revert completely back to his old self is essentially impossible.

Adam is known as an impassioned public speaker, especially when speaking out against terrorism or SOTF. At the beginning of the school year, Adam started an anti-SOTF club at his school, encouraging as many people as possible to join in, so that the true horrors of the program could emerge. Adam did this right at the beginning, when he learned of the general perception that SOTF was a glorified reality television show, something that he knew could not be further from the truth. His club helped dispel this rumor amongst those that joined, and he has often been invited to speak on the subject at other high schools in the area.

While surviving such an experience might have left some people quiet and reclusive, Adam has a surprising degree of self-confidence. He no longer overthinks everything, and finds himself coming to 'hard' decisions far more easily now than he ever did before. He often tries very hard to fit in amongst his peers, but finds it slightly more difficult now than he used to.

While much about him has changed, some things have stayed the same. Adam remains a good listener, and those that count him as a close friend feel that they are lucky to have him as a friend. Adam is still a naturally kind person, though it's been tempered a little bit. He still always means well, even if it gets lost in the translation between his traumatized mind and his peers.

While his PTSD has mainly disappeared, Adam is still slightly jumpy, being startled easily, and still has occasional recurring nightmares about the first SOTF. While he now is able to sleep through a night, he often dreams about the best friends that he misses so often; those being Hawley, Madelaine, Amanda, Andrew, Adam, and Andrew.

Some people find it hard to associate with Adam due to the well-known fact that he has committed twelve different murders and gone unpunished for it. Adam is disturbed at the lack of feeling he has for this, but has learned to accept it. He still feels remorse from time to time, but only when he dwells upon it (which doesn't happen often).

'''Advantages:''' He's lived through one SOTF competition and knows what to expect. He has no problem with killing to survive, as he's already killed twelve people the first time around. Thanks to the first experience, he's got experience with many kinds of different weapons and is somewhat proficient with handling a shotgun. Adam is still intelligent, and is still socially apt, and will likely be able to organize a group quite well, thanks mainly to his 'celebrity'. He's in far better shape this time around. Fought tooth and claw for his life in the first one and succeeded, so he's bound to fight even harder this time.

'''Disadvantages:''' That 'celebrity' could be his downfall. Motivators might feel that killing the winner of the first SOTF could be something that makes them better than the competition, and eliminates what would likely be one of the larger threats for them to win the competition. May have a recurrance of his PTSD upon realiizing his situation, which could cause him to fall apart completely. His left side is physically weaker than his right, thanks to the injuries he sustained last time, and this could present a problem to him. Isn't as well-liked as he was in his previous school, and his fellow students could have a hard time trusting him. Could end up going most of it alone.

Adam Dodd

D0ddi0slave: /* Game Evaluations */

<center>''This page is about the character Adam Dodd during the first season of the game. If you are seeking information concerning Adam Dodd from V3, you can find it [http://editthis.info/sotf_wiki/Adam_Dodd_(V3) here]</center>

----

[[Image:Adamdodd.jpg|thumb|Adam, South Park Style]]'''Name:''' Dodd, Adam 
'''Gender:''' Male 
'''Age:''' 16 
'''Grade:''' 10th 
'''Extra Curricular Activity:''' Ice Hockey, School Plays 
'''School:''' Barry Coleson High

'''Appearance:''' Adam doesn't look like the atypical sixteen year old, and is almost always being mistaken for that of an 18-21 year old. He stands about 5'11, give or take a few inches. He's in deceptively good shape, as he shares the family gene of being huskier than most. While he isn't skinny, and weighs about 210. He has a full head of red hair, which is more orangey in the light than red. Adam has brown eyes and a goatee on his chin which is also orangey-red. Usually you'll find him wearing a pair of loose-fitting blue jeans and a hockey jersey of some sort, usually a Toronto Maple Leafs one.

'''Biography:''' Adam is relatively new to BC High, as he originally hails from Toronto, Canada. He's proud of his Canadian heritage, and while not overly patriotic, he usually jokes around that things'd be different if it were Canada. A kind-hearted person, Adam is the type of person who's known by everyone as 'a good guy'. He's quick to laugh and is always trying to cheer other people up. He has legendary self-control, and is often turned to in a crisis, especially at home. The problem that Adam usually faces is that when he loses that self control, he gets incredibly angry and almost violent at times. Adam's a good listener, and he usually finds people (mostly his parents) saying to him: "Well, I shouldn't be telling you this, but...". He's not the type that girls find attractive, and as such has had little to no luck in that area, but most people who meet him feel comfortable around him. Adam has a genuine love for life and while he considers himself an optimist, he sometimes overthinks situations and gets himself down in the dumps. Finally, Adam isn't popular in the usual sense that one would think, but mostly everyone, from the nerds, to the jocks, to the bitches, to the loners know who he is. Very few, if anyone, has a problem with him, and that's the way he likes it.

Adam is the oldest child in a family of five. He has two brothers, Oliver and Luke, and lives with both of his parents. His middle-brother is currently in a hospital in Canada, spurned on by an incident when he snapped under pressures from depression and stress and attacked Adam, tossing him through several windows. Adam still has issues with his brother, and has not spoken to him in almost a year. Adam still keeps in contact with several of his friends in Canada, two of whom he formed a group that was known around their school as 'the A-Team', because of the fact that him and his four friends' names all started with A, and they were, in fact, named either Andrew or Adam.

Adam's family moved to the United States because of his father's company transferring him to the US after ownership changed. One of his best friends, [[Andrew Lipson]] had his father also transferred and moved to the US with him. Adam has a sarcastic sense of humor, and is often found using foul language, which is a habit he tries to stop but cannot. He also has, as previously mentioned, an affinity for hockey jerseys, and wears them a lot. He has often interjected on the behalf of people who were being bullied, mainly because he couldn't stand to see it happen. [[Gillaume "Gilbert" Archambault|Gilbert Archambault]] is an example of someone who he helped out in that respect.

Adam has a large crush on [[Amanda Jones]], a fellow drama student, though he has never let her know his feelings because he is afraid of being rejected.

'''Other:''' As mentioned before, Adam overthinks the shit out of nearly everything, and that could potentially harm him during this 'competition'. While not a person who could harm anyone else, if his own life is threatened, he will do whatever it takes to come out alive.

'''Number:''' B77

'''''The above biography is as written by [[D0ddi0slave]]. Any edits or alterations to this publication have been done via the original author.'''''

==Mid-game evaluation==
[[Image:Adamdoddpostsotf.jpg|thumb|Last Man Standing, South Park Style]]Adam Dodd began his SOTF experience later on during day two. After being debriefed and dropped on the island with the rest of his class, Dodd awoke in the Lookout Point area. He hardly had time to adjust to his surroundings and look through his belongings when he was approached by [[Alan Shinwrath]]. Adam was wary of trusting Alan upon first glance, for he knew that Alan had a reputation inside of school for being a homophobe and somewhat of an angry kid. Regardless, the two decided to form an uneasy alliance, neither of them really wanting to die all that quickly. Unbeknownst to Adam, Alan was viewing the alliance as more of a strateigic move, something that Adam would never find out. After briefly encountering and coming to the aid of [[Edward Rommel]], Adam and Alan left the area, heading towards the Hospital, both fully intending to use the facility as a place to rest up and formulate a plan.

Upon their arrival, the two realized that they were, in fact, not alone at the Hospital, and said building was in fact being occupied by one [[Hawley Faust]]. Adam, not realising the consequences of his actions, called out to Hawley, but was quickly shushed by Alan. It was at this point that Alan opted to go and try and gain access to the hospital, while Adam moved around outside. Here, he encountered the corpse of [[Helena Van Garrett]], who'd been previously murdered by Hawley; the very first corpse that Adam saw on the island. Alan got inside of the hospital, and the two fought a bit before realizing that neither of them were all that up to killing the other. Adam, of course, had no idea, and when he saw Hawley appear in the window with Alan nowhere to be found (the boy was leaning against a wall), he clumsily, still in shock from the sight of the corpse, fired a single shot into the house, grazing Hawley. Alan again reprimanded Adam, and when Adam entered the house, he realized that it seemed Alan and Hawley had formed an alliance. Though he was initially very uneasy about the tenative alliance (for it seemed that Hawley had absolutely no qualms with killing), this would prove to be the beginning of one of the strongest alliances on the island. After staying at the hospital to rest for a bit, the trio moved on, heading towards the Lighthouse.

On the way to the Lighthouse, the three talked, speaking at length about many subjects. It was here that Adam revealed to the other two that he, too, had been bullied, and while he'd had troubles at home, much like Hawley, he generally kept it to himself, trying more to see the good in things and situations than the bad. This was likely one of the first instances that Hawley truly saw Adam as more than a pawn to use for his own survival.

===Lighthouse Encounters===

Upon their arrival at the Lighthouse, the three cautiously discussed what their plan of action might be, as the lighthouse appeared occupied. They were essentially forced into action when [[Jacob Starr]] emerged quickly from a window (which he had been hiding under) and slashed Alan's face. Adam quickly suggested that they circle the lighthouse to scatter themselves against any other attack. This proved to be quite a good plan when Jacob, allied with [[Uriel Hunter]], began tossing Molotov Cocktails at the trio. If not for their scattering, all three might have been engulfed in flames. As it were, Jacob opted to aim for the one who had the shotgun, which just happened to be Hawley. Hawley's arm ended up engulfed in flames, wounding him. Jacob kept on assailing the group with the molotovs, and it likely would have resulted in their deaths, if Hawley hadn't shot one of the molotovs out of Jacob's hand, covering Jacob's arm in fire. This caused Jacob and Uriel to flee, leaving the trio alone at the lighthouse.

At this point, Adam realized that compared to his two companions, he was definitely a lot better off than both of them. Hawley had suffered, amongst other things, second-degree burns, and Alan had a large gash in his face. Heading into the lighthouse, the boys patched each other up and finally got a bit of a chance to rest. Adam reflected upon the time that he had spent with his family and his paralyzed best friend, [[Andrew Lipson]], and while he still attempted to keep a positive outlook on the situation, he racked his brain for any kind of escape option. It was during this time period that Adam switched weapons, giving the injured Hawley his pistol and obtaining the Remington 11-87 Shotgun.

As Adam was outside, by himself, he realized that the terrorists had not confiscated his cell phone, which gave him cause for great excitement. As he revealed this to the others, his elation quickly turned to defeat when the other two quickly shot down any idea of even trying to get a cell phone signal through without having their collars detonated.

As Hawley patched up Alan, Adam stepped outside of the lighthouse due to his weak stomach. The sight of blood was never something he was used to, as very few teenagers are. As Adam was around the back of the lighthouse, two new arrivals entered the area, [[Terry Woodard]] and [[August Masbeth]], August seeking retribution from Hawley for killing her best friend, Helena. With Alan somewhat incapacitated upstairs, Hawley surprised the two as he came downstairs, exchanging harsh words with August and Terry as Adam arrived in the doorway. Surrounded, the two got in a very brief but violent exchange that left both August and Terry dead by Hawley's hand. In the chaos, Adam accidentally discharged the shotgun and hit his head, leaving him groggy for a few moments.

It was at this point that Adam and Hawley began to actually bond and talk, Hawley opening up to Adam about his family, mainly his mother, birth parents, and brothers. Adam also brought up to Hawley the fact that he didn't exactly trust Alan, a fact that Hawley agreed with. As fate would have it, the two would not have to worry about a trust issue with Alan much longer. The lighthouse became a danger zone shortly after the two finished their discussion, and the trio fled off to the Bamboo Coppice.

===Second & Third Jacob/Uriel Encounters===

Upon arriving at the Bamboo Coppice, the three boys had incredibly little time to rest up before they were startled by the surprise entrance of Rommel and [[Garrett Albert Langston|Garrett Langston]], the latter of whom was wounded. The group had literally no time to react when the two boys were followed by Jacob and Uriel, who appeared to be 'hunting' the two boys, as it seemed. A firefight then ensued yet again, with a few shots being exchanged between the groups. However, the first casualty in the battle was not any of the boys, but in fact an innocent girl, [[Venka Rapler]], who had wandered into the area and naively thought that she could stop the fighting. The accidentally caught a shot in the throat, which blew her throat open, killing her within minutes. Only a few seconds later, the molotov cocktails set the Coppice alight, causing the battle to get even more heated. Adam, who'd been hiding in the Bamboo at the time, watched as Alan attacked Jacob, knocking him in the head once before taking a gunshot to the face, killing him instantly. In horror, Adam silently watched as Uriel and Jacob made their retreat. Adam and Hawley quickly fled the burning coppice, heading to what they hoped would be a safe haven; the School.

It was, of course, like many areas in the game, a place that had seen much action, and it continued when Adam and Hawley ran into Jacob and Uriel for the third time at the school building. The firefight continued around the school building, with Uriel perched on the roof, tossing molotovs down at the clearly frustrated boys. At this point, Adam was going on sheer adrenaline, trying his damndest not to die. After taking a bullet in the backpack, Adam shot a moltov cocktail out of the air and created a wall of fire between the two groups, effectively ending the battle and giving Adam and Hawley a chance to escape. In the confusion, a student who'd been hiding in the school building; [[River Garraty]], who also happened to be a friend of Adam's from the hockey team joined the two boys as they ran off, looking for a safe haven to nurse their wounds. Also in the confusion, Adam lost his trademark [[Toronto Maple Leafs]] hockey jersey.

===The Beginning of the [[Intrepid Six]]===

As the new trio entered the small house, Adam's faith in their escape was beginning to waver, ever-so-slightly. He began having to remind himself of the fact that he was a smart guy, that he'd be able to think of something. However, he kept on, giving the others the impression that he was doing all right. Of course, this wasn't true. Adam was beginning to get a little upset. In fact, he was getting downright angry, and all of this came to the forefront in a rant that caught Hawley and River off-guard. After screaming at a camera on the wall that he assumed [[Danya]] was watching, he destroyed some furniture, and then sat a corner, silently embarrassed at the outburst. Everything seemed to be quiet, until the imposing figure of [[Marcus Roddy]] came lumbering into the area, knocking at the door. Both Hawley and Adam were visibly intimidated by the large boy, and while both were in shock, Marcus decided to take matters into his own hands, and almost effortlessly broke down the door. It was not until Marcus was provided with a paper that he identified himself as simply another kidnapped student, who was currently suffering from a broken wrist. He appeared friendly enough, and over the time that Adam would know him, he'd come to think of Marcus as a 'gentle giant'. As Hawley tended to Marcus' wounds, Adam opted to go outside and ensure that the surrounding area was secure.

Some time later, Adam awoke with a start, realizing in a panic that he'd fallen asleep while 'standing guard'. Jumping to his feet, he was startled to realize that there were indeed intruders in their temporary haven, and they appeared to be armed. Startled, Adam hid behind a tree, and, still groggy from his sleep, he pointed his shotgun at one of the new arrivals, a girl named [[Madelaine Shirohara]], who would later become a close friend. Madelaine herself was not alone, and temporarily deciding to hide the presence of her allies, she confronted Adam herself, informing him that they were not playing the game. While hesitant, Adam was taken off-guard when Madelaine informed him that she was looking for someone by the name of Adam Dodd. Interrogating the girl further, Adam visibly relaxed when she told him that she had run into [[Amanda Jones]], who was looking for him. Amanda was a girl that was a close friend of Adam's, and was actually a girl that Adam had a thing for. Upon realizing that the girl's words were true, Adam put down his weapon and extended his hand to Madelaine, regaining the friendly demeanor that he was known for around his school. It was here that Amanda and [[David Jackson]] revealed themselves from their hiding spot.

The new arrivals entered the house and began to integrate themselves with the ones inside of the house. This would become one of the most important groups of the island, and little did they know that each one of them would end up having some sort of large impression on how the game ended up turning out. At this point, the house was occupied by Adam, Amanda, Hawley, Madelaine, David, River, and Marcus. As the seven began to settle in, relaxing for what seemed to be an unusual amount of time, River Garraty began to get paranoid. At about the same time, Adam and Amanda were in a tool shed, catching up on their time on the island, when he got a shock - his cell phone actually rang. Surprised, he answered it, to realize that it was his close friend, [[Andrew Lipson]], a friend of his who had missed the field trip due to him being in a wheelchair and still being in physical therapy. His elation at the fact that they might be rescued turned to horror as he was informed by Andrew that he, too was on the island, but he was with a group of people lead by [[Umi Martin]] who were intent upon escaping. Making a tenative plan to meet up, the connection was severed, leaving Adam with a faint glimmer of hope. He wouldn't realize until far later what had really happened. At almost exactly the same time, something snapped within the mind of River Garraty, and he ran out of the house and right into a danger zone, unknowingly killing himself. Shocked, Adam and Amanda rejoined the group, informing them about the phone call, and planning to head towards the lighthouse. Devastated by the death of his friend, Adam stepped outside to sort himself out, and ended up getting lost in the rain.

===Lost===

Adam ended up back at the Bamboo Coppice, and, cursing his horrid sense of direction, attempted to make his way back to the small house. Upon the way, he began to reflect upon the game, and upon seeing the bodies that littered the coppice, he realized that he'd never really seen as much as he thought that he'd seen, up until now. He remained in the coppice, wandering through the charred, rainy wasteland before he could take it no more and left. The next place that he ended up was the Bathroom facility. Realizing that he was probably the first person to find this structure, Adam decided to take a very large risk - he began to take a shower to try and rejuvinate himself. He was partially successful, he did end up taking a shower, but was surprised by [[Marie Zaid]], a non-player who took great amusement in the predicament which involved a naked Adam pointing a shotgun at her, trying very hard to be menacing but not having too much luck. She saw right through him and after having an increasingly awkward conversation, she left, leaving Adam to decide where to look for his friends next.

From there, Adam found himself walking the pathway that he'd walked not so long ago with the late Alan Shinwrath and Hawley Faust while they were on their way to the lighthouse. While contemplating his luck during the past several days, he also got around to thinking that he was letting himself and his friends down by not being with them when they would need him the most - in the fight for their lives, which they were currently all embroiled in. Upon realizing that in slowing down on his search, he was effectively giving up, he openly decried that he wouldn't give up, and set off to find his friends, running off on a path that he hadn't been down before. This would lead him to the river.

===The River: Part One===

Adam would arrive at the River to a sight that would chill him to the bones. It seemed that he had gotten there just in time, as another student, [[Blaine Eno]], was in the midst of attacking Amanda and Madelaine, and there was no one around to defend them. Just as Blaine was essentially about to chop Amanda into pieces, Adam, who had just arrived on the scene, shot Blaine in the back, which definitely got his attention. As Blaine turned and attacked Adam, giving him his first real wound of SOTF, a cut in his upper arm, Adam dropped his pistol, and thinking quickly, swung his baseball bat at Blaine's head, sending the boy tumbling down to the ground with a likely head injury. It was here, however, that Adam Dodd entered into a rage, and without fully realizing what he was doing, he grabbed his shotgun, Adam damned Blaine as he stood over him with his shotgun pointed at the boy's neck, depressing the trigger and giving Adam his first kill of the competition. As his rage simmered down, Adam realized what he'd done, and the full impact of it hit him all at once, sending him into an almost-depression. Being comforted by Amanda and Madelaine, whose lives he had just saved, the group met back up with a confused Hawley Faust, who'd slipped into somewhat of a delerium from his wounds. Hawley was about to shoot Adam, believing him to be an enemy, when Adam was essentially saved by [[Callum Hadley]], who came from almost nowhere and basically bodychecked Hawley to the ground. Upon speaking with Hawley and letting him know that Adam considered him a friend, the group seemed to settle back into a comfort level that they had been at before Adam had vanished.

As Hawley began to patch up Adam's injury, and the girls tended to an injured Marcus Roddy, Hawley injected Adam with morphine, leading to the infamous 'Morphine Rant' which has been identified as quite possibly one of the funniest speeches to take place in SOTF. This also led to the introduction of [[Nanami Nishida]] to the group, someone who, upon first glance, Adam did not feel comfortable with. She whined too much and stuck to her old friend Madelaine like glue, and attempted to pursuade her to leave the area. This didn't sit well with the group, but they understood when Nanami wanted to go and speak with Madelaine privately, so they let her be. This was a bit of a mistake. As the two girls left, Adam, Amanda, David, Marcus and Hawley had a discussion in which they decided that they would attempt to escape the game, and that they would stick together no matter what, of course with Madelaine as well. Of course, upon hearing the shots, the concerned group, including Callum headed towards Madelaine and Nanami, with Adam and Callum first on the scene. Coming to a horrific scene, they saw that Nanami had shot Madelaine, and was now 'getting back' at her for some presumed wrong that she blamed Madelaine for. In the hopes of getting Nanami to focus on one of their group, Adam began to taunt her and verbally abuse her, hoping that if she were to aim her gun at him, one of the others might be able to shoot her, or at least disarm her and stop her from harming Madelaine. Hawley too, joined in the abuse, and in what was a truly ugly scene, the two boys verbally abused the angry girl. It was Adam's scathing comments that truly hit home to Nanami, letting her know that she truly was weak, and a coward for the way that she opted to deal with things - trying to kill the one person who'd ever shown her kindness. Deciding that she would take at least one of them with her if she were going to die, she aimed her gun at Amanda, who was carrying the shotgun, when the prone Madelaine took a pistol that Amanda had given her previously and shot Nanami in the back with it.

[[Image:AdamDoddfull.jpg|thumb|B#77, Adam Dodd]]

The dying Nanami was essentially stared at by all of the group, save one - Adam Dodd. The boy who had viciously and cruelly demeaned her in the hopes of saving his friend's life found himself crouching beside her, attempting to stifle the bleeding from within her wounds. As Nanami bled to death with Adam futiley trying to save her, Madelaine told Nanami the truth, that she had always considered her a friend and that she did enjoy being with her, something that Nanami had assumed was false. As she died, Madelaine apologized to her for her transgressions, and Nanami's last words were so silent that only Adam Dodd heard them - it was an apology, but it would not, for the time being, matter, as the damage had already been done.

At this point, Madelaine seemingly retreated into a shell, not speaking nor acknowledging anyone else, not being able to. As the silence hung over the group in the river, Adam seemed to find some form of strength, and officially took the position of trying to lead the group off of the island. Proposing that they work together and stay together to find a solution, the group's friendship solidified, though nothing too much happened as everyone was still in shock from the events. As he watched the group deal with the situation, he remembered a time that his close friend, Andrew Panturescu had waxed philisophical and oddly enough, the words rang true with some meaning in the valley. He realized that he couldn't know what was going to happen, or why it did. All he could do was deal with it as best he could.

This would truly be put to the test as while Amanda attempted to draw Madelaine out of her shell, two of their group were growing weaker by the second. Marcus Roddy sat down and shut his eyes, closing and falling into sleep, while Hawley Faust was growing weaker as the result of an infection from his burns that had been untreated. They didn't have too much time to do anything about this when the river was invaded by [[Heather Pendergast]], [[Fredrik Hughes]] and their group. A short firefight ensued between David and Heather, but didn't result in too much. As the groups parted ways, Amanda and Madelaine left to tend to David, leaving Adam and Hawley alone.

At this point, Hawley was becoming weaker, and Adam realized that he wasn't looking good at all. Asking what he could do to help, Hawley wheezed out some words before coughing up some bright red blood, which led Adam to realize that Hawley Faust, the stape of their group and a close friend to them all, was dying. As Hawley struggled to tell Adam that he believed that he needed redemption, Adam spoke from the heart, and told Hawley what he believed: that Hawley was a hero in his eyes, a person who didn't need redemption. He'd proven himself a true friend, and Adam told Hawley that he wouldn't have made it this far without him. As Adam watched, Hawley thanked Adam for letting him truly feel comfortable enough to talk about himself, to become an actual friend to someone. As Hawley Faust choked out his last words, he thanked Adam Dodd, told him to escape the island, and then died.

At the death of his closest friend on the island, a person who he felt like he'd known for years, Adam Dodd openly began to cry. Hawley's death affected him far more than he'd ever thought that it would, and it was right then that Adam vowed that he would do whatever it took to get off of the island, dedicating his struggle to his fallen friend. As they decided to leave the River, Adam suddenly realized that they needed to pay respects to their fallen friend, and that to properly do that, they should bury him. It took the others a few moments to figure out how, but after a short time, they had buried Hawley Faust, with a crude grave-marker marking his burial spot.

As they prepared to leave, they then realized that their other friend, Marcus Roddy, had slipped into a coma. Adam futiley attempted to wake him, but in the end, he suggested that the best thing to do would be to euthanize their other fallen friend. This idea was met with by extreme dissatisfaction by everyone else, though they realized it would likely be the best case scenario, in order to prevent any animals from getting to him or (and Adam didn't publically state it) to prevent him from being the sole survivor once everyone else was dead. As Amanda stalked off, angry at their decision, Adam quietly took out his pistol and shot Marcus in the forehead. As he stood up, Adam, David, and Madelaine left the river, to pursue Amanda, who had set off towards the group's intended destination, the Warehouse.

===Finding a Way Into the Warehouse===

Upon his arrival at the warehouse, Adam and David had fallen behind the girls, who had both entered the warehouse. It was here, though, that Adam comforted David upon the discovery of the body of one of his closest friends, [[Aaron Redfield]]. David, who'd been as stoic as they come through most of the ordeal, had finally fractured and let his feelings flood out. They wouldn't have any time to talk about it when [[Martyn "Murdoc" Ferdinand|Martyn Ferdinand]] arrived on the scene, trying to creep around the two boys but stepping on a twig, and as cliche as it might have been, letting himself be discovered. After a few tense moments, both Adam and Dave readily accepted Martyn, who seemed to be another boy who had plans of escaping from the island. When Martyn introduced himself as being from Scotland, however, Adam also realized that this wasn't just a group of Americans who'd been kidnapped - it was kids from around the world. As they heard a gunshot and some commotion coming from within the warehouse, the three scrambled into action, not realizing that it was [[Jacob Starr]] who'd just shot the lock on the door, sealing it.

As Adam attempted to get the door open, he allowed himself to lose sight of his surroundings, and almost got shot by Jacob Starr. As Jacob was about to shoot him, David called a warning to him and chased Jacob off. This would be the last time that Adam would see David. As Adam and Martyn worked on finding a way in, they were joined by a friend of Adam's - [[Jill Gatling]]. Jill was scared and as such regarded both Adam and Martyn with skepticism as she took them both in, but after a few tense moments, the girl just revealed herself to be as scared as the others. As more commotion was heard inside of the warehouse, it was frantically that the three outside looked for a door to rescue their friends inside. It was Jill who found the door to the warehouse, and it was with great difficulty that the three of them lifted it and gained access to the inside. Adam immediately raised his weapon and headed inside.

As Adam headed inside, he was shoved aside by a boy who simply wanted to escape. He wouldn't know it, but this was [[Cody Jenson]], a person who Adam would undoubtedly have far more dealings with on the island and who would play a far more important role in the coming hours. As Adam walked inside of the warehouse, Danya's voice let them all know who had died, and where the new danger zones were - and as fate would have it, they were in one of them. Stopping his allies from entering, Adam immediately set off running, and the five of them set off towards a place that was all too familiar - the River.

===The River: Part Deux===

Lucky to escape the warehouse without being caught in a danger zone, Adam and his allies had little time to ponder their next move before they spotted another group in the distance. Adam, being really winded after the sprint away from the warehouse, couldn't help but hope against hope that the other group wouldn't want to come over and start a fight. Before he could suggest anything, Jill cornered him and began demanding to know why he hadn't admitted freely to her that he'd killed someone. Adam reacted with what was almost offense at the insinuation that he'd killed in cold blood, and he let Jill know that he'd been doing his best to try and protect his friends - and damned if he wasn't going to do whatever it took to try and help them. After justifying himself as best he could, Adam walked away from the group to blow off some steam. After tossing some stones into a river and trying to right his quickly sinking mental ship, he was alarmed to hear unfamiliar voices, and remembered quickly about the other group that had been approaching. Rushing quickly back to the path, he watched as a lone kid quivered under the intense scrutiny of Amanda's shotgun. Realizing that he recognized the kid from somewhere, he asked Amanda to lower her weapon, and then watched the events unfold before him, sitting on a rock and taking some time to rest as the two groups greeted each other with little hostility, thanks in part to Madelaine knowing one of the others, [[Chance Burton]]. The groups dispersed and set up a temporary 'camp' there, holding their ground until they could figure out what next to do. At this point, Madelaine wandered off to think to herself.

Adam continued to sit on the rock and take some time to think to himself about the events of the last few days, not realizing that the boy, who he knew as 'Sid' (who he'd later realize was hockey phenom [[Sidney Crosby]]) had also wandered off. Adam remained here as the students began to wander about the area. This would be what Adam would later think of as a mistake that he'd never forgive himself for. He walked over to the grave of [[Hawley Faust]] and began to talk to his deceased friend, wishing that the boy would pop up out of the ground and give him some guidance. As he thought more and more, he finally put two and two together and realized that the boy wearing the hockey jersey was the NHLer, Crosby. No sooner than he realized this, than he heard gunshots, and instantly realized that leaving his friends alone may have been a very fatal mistake. Turning around, guns drawn, he rushed towards the source of the gunshots, not ever expecting the scene that he came upon next.

Coming onto the scene, he saw Jill, sobbing quietly, and Sidney, looking aghast. First, he assumed that Sidney had just killed someone, and had likely been experiencing similar emotions to what Adam went through when he killed Blaine Eno. Immediately speaking out loud without taking it all in, Adam was cut off harshly by what he saw next: the raped, beaten, and humiliated corpse of [[Madelaine Shirohara]]. Moments before, the girl had been alive and well, and now...she was dead. At this point, Adam's mouth dropped, and to him, it felt like he was watching himself from outside of his body. Watching in shock, himself, he then realized that someone who mattered quite a bit to him was also mysteriously absent, someone who would have been even more affected by Madelaine's death. When he asked where Amanda was, nobody answered. Finally, his eyes went to Martyn Ferdinand, who was in the bushes, covering the destroyed face of yet another corpse. As Adam took a step forward, then pushed the boy aside, his heart cracked as he realized that this, indeed, was Amanda, and she too, was dead. At this, something inside of Adam cracked, and his deep anguish turned to white-hot rage. Declaring his love for his deceased girlfriend, Adam grabbed her shotgun and stormed out of the bushes, grabbing Sidney Crosby and forcing him against a tree, demanding to know what happened. After being smacked around a bit by Adam, Sidney was able to get out that a hockey player who he'd played against, [[Cody Jenson]] had raped and murdered Madelaine and killed Amanda. At this point, Adam also realized that Sidney was holding the pistol that he'd last seen [[David Jackson]] holding, and when Sidney told him that he'd found it in the woods, Adam knew that at this point, he was now truly alone. Dropping Crosby, he walked over to the middle of the valley, looked each person standing there in the eyes, and vowed his vengeance upon Cody Jenson. With that, he turned around and left the river, swearing never to return.

===Adam Dodd vs. Jacob Starr: The Final Battle===

After leaving the River, Adam wandered for what seemed like hours, going in circles, and not really having a direct destination in mind. His mind was cracked, and his spirit was badly beaten. In fact, he was basically blaming himself for the deaths of his five friends, and beating himself down each moment. Finally, he arrived at the Gazebo, and much to his surprise, encountered someone who'd dogged him for the first four days that he'd been on the island: [[Jacob Starr]]. Walking into the area, gun down, he simply walked into the Gazebo where Jacob sat, and sat down on the bench opposite to him. This surprised Jacob, but he let Adam speak, and the two had a conversation about how their paths had crossed, and where each was at now. Adam posed Jacob the question as to why he'd decided to play, and Jacob finally admitted that he would do whatever he could to survive. The two continued to converse, in fact, quite civilly, but during the course of the conversation, Adam erroneously referred to [[Cody Jenson]] as the killer of [[David Jackson]]. As Adam stood to leave, right after Jacob had attempted to talk him out of going after Jenson, Jacob admitted that it was in fact him, not Cody that killed David.

With an almost-twinge of regret, Adam told Jacob that for David, and for Hawley, he would now have to make him pay, and then proceeded to suckerpunch Jacob out of the gazebo. The two had a large kicking, punching, knock-down, drag'em-out fight, but the pivotal moment came when Adam taunted Jacob about having no other weapons than what he'd left in the Gazebo, and Jacob pulled out a hidden knife that he'd killed [[Rais Sekth]] with. As Jacob internally smirked at the fact that Adam hadn't seemed to have payed attention to that announcement, the name [[Rais Sekth]] thundered through his head, and he managed to use his lack of balance to avoid the attack that Jacob threw at him, disarming the boy and obtaining his knife, to which he'd use to, seconds later, cut Jacob's throat and kill him. Jacob, realizing his end was near, attempted to take Adam with him by grabbing Adam's collar and attempting to rip it off. Unfortunately for Jacob, his rapidly-bleeding throat sapped his strength, and Jacob died before he could manage to activate the pressure sensor. Adam's internal battle raged deeply after this, for he felt somewhat bad at killing Jacob, but justified it in that he HAD tried to kill Hawley and him from the very beginning. After raiding Jacob's inventory, and asking for forgiveness for himself from whatever higher power resided out there, Adam left the Gazebo.

===Surrounded by Conflict===

Around this point of the game, Adam found himself alone and without allies. All of his 'core group' of friends were dead - facts that he knew either from seeing it happen, or by the announcements from Danya. As such, his focus shifted to stalking the island, looking for Cody Jenson. The first place that he found himself wandering into was the Eastern Shore. The evening had begun to fall, and the first thing that he saw were two boys fighting. Actually, it was more that one boy was getting the life choked out of him. Watching for a moment, Adam recognized one of the boys - it was a boy, Gilbert, that he'd always been kind to in school. Gilbert was a Canadian like him, so after a second of deliberation, Adam shot Gilbert's attacker, dead. He didn't stay to say much to Gilbert, just greeted the boy, and left. Moving on, he found himself at the Bamboo Coppice yet again, looking at all of the bodies, many burned beyond recognition. Adam began to lose his grasp on reality, and actually compared the game to that of Mortal Kombat, the popular 2D fighting game. His grip on reality weakened, and he almost lost it, until he tripped over a body and stumbled to the ground. This basically woke him up from his delerium. He began to realize that the entire time that he'd been on the island, the entire time that he'd spent playing SOTF, it had all been mainly for somebody else. Either in protecting them, or trying to look out for everyone else. He'd basically, like Hawley Faust, spent too much time looking out for others, and he realized that if he didn't stop doing that and looking out for number one - himself, he would - much like Hawley: die. Adam began to leave the area with his head raised high, using his Audioslave t-shirt as a reminder to himself that all that he could do would be to be true to himself, and to keep his own best interests in mind, and then he might have a fighting chance of coming out alive. As he was walking out of the area, he heard a small voice in the bushes. Stopping, he called out and met up with Lucinda Garnett. The two conversed about what had happened to them in the game thusfar, and as Adam realized how much had truly happened to him already, he broke down in a tearful rage. Talking with Lucinda even moreso helped him again realize that he needed to let out his emotions, and make sure that he was looking out for himself. After a bit, Adam and Lucinda parted ways, and Adam left the Coppice. Adam then made a stop at the well, where he did quite a bit of thinking. He thought about how his original plan since he'd awoken had changed, and recalled what had happened on the plane before the terrorists had taken it over at the airport. He'd actually almost made it off the plane, but had taken in enough gas that he wasn't able to escape before he passed out. Coming across the body of Cole Hudson, a boy he knew from school, Adam thought a bit more about his friends and the fates that had befallen them all. He once again swore that he would make it to the end, and make Danya pay, as he moved on.

==="Crazy-Magnet"===

As he left the well, and began to wander around the island, Adam kept on thinking to himself that this experience was something that would undoubtedly leave its mark, for the rest of his natural life (depending on how long that ended up being). He also came to the quick realization that he was quite exhausted, as he, much like the majority of the kids on the island, hadn't slept much at all - perhaps a few moments now and then, but nothing legitimate. As he wandered, looking for shelter, he was quite surprised to stumble upon the wreckage of the helicopter that had come bearing three terrorists. Surprised, Adam opted to explore the inside of the wreckage, quickly realizing that thanks to the way the helicopter had crashed, as well as the fact that it had a working door, he might be able to hide out inside the wreckage until he was able to rest. Looking around the inside of the crashed 'copter, he left his pack outside, not wanting to bring it in case there was somebody already inside of the wreck. Deciding to stay a bit, Adam walked back outside to get his pack, being temporarily overwhelmed by the sunlight - a move which likely saved his life. As he walked out of the wreck, he found that his hand (that had flown to his face thanks to the sun) had been pierced by what looked like fishhooks. Perplexed, Adam was caught off guard by the fishhooks, and as such didn't anticipate the attack from one Johnny Lamika. Lamika, who'd already killed at least one other student, overpowered Adam, and attempted to rape and kill him. Lamika almost succeeded, had it not been for Adam's quick thinking in using a taser that he'd barely remembered scooping up from the body of Terry Woodward days and days ago. Shocking Lamika into submission, Adam lost his sense of self-control and savagely beat Johnny to death with an aluminum baseball bat, which he discarded immediately therafter. Revulsed with himself and with the entire event, Adam retreated inside of the wreckage, locking the door behind him, attempting to get some sleep. Unfortunately for Adam, he was only able to get an hour or two of uncomfortable, nightmare-filled unrest before continuing on his way. The next place that Adam came to was the Warehouse, stumbling right into a small battle between a group of some of his friends and Jason Andrews, a member of the baseball team. As Adam arrived on the scene, Jason was in the midst of shooting and killing Gilbert Archambault, the boy whose life Adam had saved earlier on during SOTF. Enraged, Adam attacked Jason himself, and after a brief fight, he emerged victorious, finishing off Jason with his shotgun. Jack O'Connor, who'd been standing with Martyn Ferdinand and Jill Gatling, was enraged by this, and threatened Adam, who somberly greeted his friends and left shortly therafter. Jack, of course, was still enraged, but he couldn't dispute that Jason had attacked the group and would have killed them anyways. Adam set off, still looking for Cody Jenson. His travels next lead him to the school building, where after a bit of poking around on his behalf, he was greeted with a shocking surprise: his Toronto Maple Leafs jersey, thought to be lost in the fire that had seperated him and Hawley from Jacob and Uriel days prior. Overjoyed, he dusted off the jersey and put it on, feeling as though he'd found a missing part of himself. Without any warning whatsoever, Adam was then attacked with what appeared to be tranquilizer darts. Attempting to dodge the one that missed him, he still managed to take on in the neck, and quickly pulled it out, returning fire with his pistol. Through a lucky shot, he managed to hit the person perched on the roof of the school building, and sent them falling to their doom, collar exploding on the way down. Shaking it off, Adam decided that it was most definitely time to move on. The next stop on his journey was the Eastern Shore, a place that he'd been before several times, where he'd found the body of his best friend, and where he'd saved the life of the late Gilbert Archambault. Slightly high on the tranquilizers, Adam sat down next to Andrew Lipson's body and had a conversation with his late friend. Much to his surprise (and likely due to the drugs), Lipson talked back. The two talked about life, death, and motivation, and Andrew urged him to keep on going. The conversation was interrupted by the clearly insane Kaleigh Jones, who, after attcking Adam with a bag of sawdust, ripped her top off and attempted to force herself on him again. Legitimately frightened, Adam shot her as fast as he could, wondering why the 'crazies' kept coming after him. Blearily standing up, he opted to move on.

===A Faux Climax===

Stumbling blindly about the island, Adam felt the drugs taking full impact upon himself. He knew that he wouldn't be able to keep himself conscious for much longer, and as he came upon one lone person sitting on a stump, he knew that he wouldn't be able to keep it together any longer, and after mumbling something, he passed right out cold...right in front of Cody Jenson himself. Adam was out for a time, long enough for Cody to, after much deliberation, re-bandage Adam's wounds and attempt to nurse the boy back to health. Adam dreamed that he awoke to find out that SOTF had ended and everyone had died but him, and that he was on his way back to the real world. Unfortunately, the appearance of Andrew Lipson lead him to realize that this was not in fact the case. Waking up, he cautiously greeted the person who'd helped him and (to his surprise) not killed him and began to ask him questions. The boy identified himself as Andrew Stewart, from Detroit. The two began to talk about hockey as an ice-breaker, which degenerated into Adam explaining about his search for Cody Jenson, talking quite a bit about how pathetic he thought that the kid was, a conversation which saw his hatred seep through. For his part, Cody managed to maintain the facade, but decided to play with Adam's mind a bit, chastising him when the announcement came on, detailing the most recent portion of his time on the island - where he'd killed several people. Adam took offense to this, and the two got into a heated conversation once Cody admitted that he had some killing to do, teasing Adam a little without his knowledge by mentioning that he had three people on the island that he needed to kill - the three that he didn't mention by name, but were intended to be Lyndi Thibodeaux, Sidney Crosby, and Adam himself. Adam, realizing that something was incredibly off about the situation, didn't flat-out accuse Andrew of being Cody Jenson (as he had no idea what Cody even looked like), he launched into a verbal tirade that ended up with him promising to kill the boy who stood before him if he ran into him again. Adam strongly had a feeling that the boy was Cody Jenson, but for whatever reason - reasons he didn't even know himself, he left Andrew in the woods, in search of...something. He didn't know what, but he knew he needed to leave.

===Karma===

(TBC)

'''End-game evaluation:''' Adam Dodd, Boy #77, somehow managed to overcome all of the obstacles and come out on top. He did it while being a foul-mouthed, disagreeable little bastard, and he even gave me a little memento of our encounter, something to remember him by. I know I'm never going to forget B77, and whether he wants to admit it or not, his 'enthusiasm' managed to be infectuous, and allowed us here at SOTF our 'enthusiasm' to continue our little games. He may have gotten out, but I'd still keep one eye open at night, if you know what I mean...

And yes, I'm aware that debation isn't a word....but the way that I look at it - I'm on morphine. I can make up my own fucking words if I want to. And if you don't like it, you can shmozle yourself. You got that?"'' '''-Suggesting a course of action while high on morphine'''
 
*''"And yeah, I know that they can hear me, and that's fine. I hope they're listening. Because goddamn you, Danya, you're going to pay for what you've done. You're going to pay for Andrew Lipson, and now you're going to pay for Hawley Faust. I hope they are listening, Madelaine, because I want them to know that I'm coming for them. I'll get out, one way or another, and when I do, I won't rest until they're all dead. All of them."'' '''- after witnessing the death of [[Hawley Faust]].'''

Yeah, I told you that I wouldn't kill anyone in cold blood. I won't. Did I say that I hadn't killed anyone? No."'' '''- explaining to [[Jill Gatling]] his decisions while in the game'''
 
*''"This game brings out the worst in you all, I promise you that. I promise you that by the time your time has come, you'll probably be hating yourself for one reason or another. Fuck, I know I do. I dont' hate myself because I killed someone though, no. I hate myself because I couldn't protect the people that were most important to me. And guys, I hate to break it to you, but fuck, if you think that you're going to get out of here unscathed, you aren't. You won't, you can't. Everyone has their innocence ruined by this game, and that's not an opinion, that's a fact. I'm leaving this place, and I'm never going to return. I've seen more of my friends die in this river that I thought that I ever would. If you want to find me, you'll be following the motorcycle sounds. I've got a new purpose on this island. I'm going to fucking murder Cody Jensen, and I'm going to do it in cold blood. You see, he took away my friends, their innocence, he took away my fucking soul, and for that, I've got a duty to fulfill: I've got to make sure that he rots in fucking hell, sitting next to the devil himself."''

Becuase I fucking killed him, that's why. He tried for a whole day to kill me, and failed, and then I killed him. I slit his fucking throat. I cut his throat and moved on.

I guess the one little thing that gives me even some form of solace is that with every person who dies by my hand or another, it's one step closer to me getting a little one-on-one session with you. And Danya...while here, on this island, I've been shot at, stabbed, lost my best friend, my girlfriend, most people that I've ever come to trust, my innocence, I've almost been raped, and I've probably come pretty damn close to losing my sanity.

But like, while so many scouts liked this guy, I remember reading this one website - hockeysfuture.com. It listed this guy as like...having some serious screws loose, you know? Not the kind of attention problem that someone like Corey Pecker had, but like...some serious oddities to him. Took stupid penalties ALL the time, had a brutal temper. Put a kid in the hospital once for giving him a hook. Stupid stuff like that. And I mean, if it's all true, doesn't matter how much potential a guy has, it's just...wasted. Guy would've never made the NHL, not with problems like that. And it's funny, because ends up - pow, the guy becomes a fuckin' rapist.

Even IF I do get out of here, I'm going to have nightmres for the rest of my natural life, and be in therapy until the time I'm 50! And why? All because you've got a small penis and an inferiority complex? Shit, why didn't you and Cody Jensen just go and rape some hookers and then go to jail. You'd get all the cock you wanted, and no matter how small that your dick was, somebody'd always be there to love you! God damnit, Danya!

==Other/Trivia==
*Adam has been credited for turning the character of [[Hawley Faust]] from psychopathic killer into deep, emotional hero.

*Adam Dodd is one hundred percent based off of [[d0ddi0slave]] in personality, appearance (at the time), and portions of his history and background.

*Adam has been referred to as one of, if not the most developed character in SOTF, going from a sarcastic, normal, joking teenager, to a moody, introverted teenager who has no qualms with killing, but only if the person directly threatens him or his friends. He has become obsessed with finding the person who killed his girlfriend, and for all intents and purposes, is really starting to lose his sense of moral fibre, and it has been speculated, his mind.

*Adam was the third person in SOTF to be rolled, but Adam quickly swapped him with [[Cole Quentin Hudson|Cole Hudson]], feeling that he could do more with Adam. Originally, d0ddioslave had intended Cole to be his main character, turning him into a cold game-motivator.

*Adam Dodd has been rolled twice, once swapped out with [[Cole Quentin Hudson|Cole Hudson]], the other with [[Fredrik Hughes]].

*Several people have often hinted that they believe [[LadyMakaze]] belongs to an 'Adam Dodd' fanclub. Whether or not this is true, remains to be seen.

*Adam was instrumental in the happenings in 'Though We May Not Survive It...', a thread which took place in the [[locations|river]], and is (if I'm not mistaken) the longest RP thread in SOTF.

*[[d0ddi0slave]] never really thought Adam would last as long as he has or develop as well as he has. He originally was going to use Adam to get his feet wet in the RP world, as he'd never RPed before.

*Adam was originally supposed to meet up with Amanda, and was originally going to die taking a bullet for her.

*Adam, like his inspiration, is a Pisces. His birthday is March 15th, 1990, four years younger than [[d0ddi0slave]]. He volunteered at a hospital, likely the same one as [[Eddie Serjeantson]] for a year, and as of the time of the trip, worked at a local video store.

*Adam has been rampant in AU roleplays. In the 'Fifteen Years Later...' one, Adam disappeared shortly after the students were rescued, using the moneys he was awarded by the US Government to create a new identity for himself and live in a remote part of Europe, tortured by the events that occurred. He came to the conference to shed his demons.

*In the 'Aftermath' roleplay, Adam became relatively detatched, not attending class but being able to return to his relatively normal life.

*In the 'AU Barry Coleson High' roleplay, Adam was tired, and drank a Diet Pepsi, then tried to recesitate a student who was knifed and attacked.

*Of the ten people that have died via Adam's hand, essentially all of them were either to protect himself or a friend, with the notable exceptions of [[Marcus Roddy]] and [[Jacob Starr]]. The comatose Marcus was essentially euthanized by Adam, and Jacob was attacked due to his confession that he killed [[David Jackson]]. However, some see it as justifiable, due to the fact that Jacob almost exclusively tried to kill him and [[Hawley Faust]] all throughout Day 2.

*By Day 9, Adam Dodd had lost 18 pounds and weighed in at 192 lbs, quite down from his original 210.

*Adam is still currently carrying around all of his weapons, save for the aluminum baseball bat, which he left at the open field.

*He was the first person to exceed [[Jacob Starr]]'s kill count, a feat that up until now has only been matched by terrorists [[Angelina Kaige]].

*In an abandoned storyline, Adam was supposed to have carried around the journal of [[Hawley Faust]] and was to have read passages from the journal periodically, giving Hawley a voice after his death.

== Your Thoughts ==
''Whether you were a fellow handler in SOTF or just an avid reader of the site, we'd like to know what you thought about Adam Dodd. What did you like, or dislike, about the character? Let us know here!''

Adam is arguably the most evolved and realistically portrayed character in SOTF. We've watched Adam go from a happy-go-lucky kid to what he is now throughout his progress in SOTF. Something that strikes me as odd, and almost funny, is that SOTF Adam has become quite a bit different from his real life counterpart. - '''[[Megami]]'''

What she said. I wouldn't be surprised if Dodd took the game.-
'''[[Slayer]]'''

Adam Dodd, nuff said.-
'''[[Slacker]]'''

He's definitely becoming - or has already become - the Shuya of the current SOTF with Kazuo's bodycount. - '''[[LaZardo]]'''

The next person to compare Adam to Shuya gets a bullet between the eyes. He ain't a whiner, he's not a pussy (much), and he ain't a pretty-boy that gets by through luck. *shiver* In truth though, I've put all that I can into developing Adam into something more than a one-dimensional hero type, or a one-dimensional...anything type. People have responded to that, which is awesome. I can truly say that I'm fucking proud of how he's turned out, up to this point. Definitely one of my biggest achievements as a writer. - '''[[d0ddi0slave]]'''

''Let me put it into context.'' I make the comparison because like Shuya the author's writing and character development seems to have made him be the focal point and even "star" of the current SOTF. He does not possess or seem to show as many traits people would consider 'villainous' as, say, Danya or Cody Jenson. Of course, he does not seem to be as sensitive to killing as others, particularly because he's done the act numerous times. - '''[[LaZardo]]'''

Well, when you do something ten times, you tend to get a bit desensitized towards it. Have to agree though, Adam's really put a lot of work into breaking him from the stereotypical "hero" mold, and it shows. - '''[[Slayer]]'''

I believe that Adam Dodd is the most important player in SOTF. Without him, there would be no SOTF! Doddioslave's put so much work into this charecter, and I can definatly see him winning the game, As I'm sure almost everyone else can. The Shuya thing... Please never say that again. Sure Dodd is the hero, but he's more of a Shogo than a Shuya. So in other words, he's more of an Anti-Hero in my eyes. - '''[[mitsuko2]]'''

While it's true he's the main character, I doubt SOTF wouldn't exist if he didn't. All that would happen would be that either there wouldn't be one "central" character or someone else would become the protagonist. - '''[[Slayer]]'''

Well, it's Adam Dodd, what can I say? Though if I have to say something that doesn't overlap everything everyone before me has mentioned before, it's just that it's been incredibly entertaining and engaging watching Adam Dodd progress through the game of SOTF. I personally think that it was just inevitable that Adam Dodd ended up as a sort of protagonist/hero figure, because the way he was portrayed made it seem as though he were practically alive, and more than just a spinoff of some real life person. No offense to d0ddi0slave of course. Also, his rants just put a whole new flavour into RPing, it's just so original and refreshing, I can never wait to see what sort of things he'll do, or say next. - '''[[LadyMakaze]]'''

'''Biography:'''

Born in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada, Adam Dodd is, at 22 years of age, one of the older members in SOTF.

V.I.P.'s

2008-03-24T06:18:11Z

D0ddi0slave:

V.I.P. Very important person. Many characters can be considered V.I.P.s in SOTF, from the higher-ups in the American government to the now deceased "Terrific Three" and right up to Mr. Danya himself. If you're looking to find out more information about Danya and his cohorts, or if you're just interested in knowing the names of some of the more important government officials for the sake of continuity, this is the place to be!

----

<big><center>'''United States Government Officials'''</center></big>

'''Aaron Bridges:''' President of the United States of America. Bridges is described as being an older Southern gentleman with a slight drawl in his speech and a very casual, laid-back, and joking demeanor. So far, Bridges has only made one appearance in SOTF, in a V1 announcement.

'''Steven O. Jones:''' Vice-President of the United States of America. Steven Jones is also the father of season one contestant [[Amanda Jones]].

'''Samuel Carson:''' Described simply as being a "political extraordinaire", not much is known about Carson sans the fact that he may serve as some sort of advisor to President Aaron Bridges. Carson only appears in one scene of SOTF, during the scene in which the U.S. government first receives Danya's demands in V1.

'''Ryan Smith:''' New Jersey State Senator (2006) and father of season two contestant [[Walter Smith]]. Senator Smith's personality and mannerisms seem to be very akin to those of his son's, implying that perhaps he may have used his political power for personal gain. However, unlike Walter, who was a vicious and extremely violent psychopath, Ryan was described as being a coward. Smith turned up dead immediately following the conclusion of the second season of SOTF, when the Denton Gang Wars erupted.

'''Andrew Vincent Grayston IV:''' New Jersey State Senator (2006) and father of season two contestant [[Ali Grayston]]. Senator Grayston was known to have contributed countless dollars to charity and was known to have erected several buildings (including Denton's new recreational center) throughout the metro area, probably as a ploy for gaining support with the population. He was supposedly a rival of Ryan Smith, but other than a quick mention this has not been shown. Following the loss of his daughter to the SOTF ACT, Senator Grayston began an "Anti-SOTF Campaign" throughout the metro area.

'''Catherine "Cathy" Bexley:''' New Jersey House Representative (2006) and mother of Bathurst High School student ''Jack Bexley''. The fateful day of the abduction, her son had stayed home from school due to illness and was spared from the fate of the other Bathurst students. When Senator Grayston began his Anti-SOTF Campaign, Bexley jumped on board and has been supporting Grayston throughout his campaign.

----

<big><center>'''SOTF ACT Coordinators and Associates'''</center></big>

'''[First Name Omitted] Danya:''' SOTF Program Orchestrator (2005-2007). Mr. Danya was first introduced to SOTF during the prologue of the first season in which he subjected Barry Coleson High School to the first successful round of the SOTF ACT. Since then, little has been revealed about the enigma known as Danya other than his cynical personality and twisted sense of humor. He's a very secretive man by nature. In fact, sans his own family and his subordinates, only two students -- contest winners [[Adam Dodd]] and [[Bryan Calvert]] -- have ever come face to face with the mysterious man.

'''Lillian "Lilly" Danya:''' Danya's wife. Lilly is a minor character at best, having only made one appearance in SOTF during its run; during the Fourth Announcement, in Danya's "Homelife" scene.

'''[First Name Omitted] Danya:''' Danya has mentioned having a son, presumably much older than his daughter Amora, who is currently fighting on the frontlines for his homecountry. Nothing else has been revealed about Danya's son, not even his name.

'''Amora Danya:''' Danya's daughter. Amora is another minor character in SOTF, making an appearance during the "Homelife" scene of the Fourth Announcement. As of the current date, Amora is approximately eight years old. In her appearance in 2005, she was shown as a bubbly six year old with long pigtails. Whether her appearance and personality have changed at all is unconfirmed.

'''Dorian:''' Dorian could be best described as Danya's personal assistant. He doesn't particularly enjoy his job, and only works for Danya's organization to supply money to his family. He's portrayed as a stammering, unconfident individual and is also known to be quite tech-savvy (in V2, Danya orders him onto the island with a maintenance squadron in order to repair the cameras that had been damaged in the storm).

'''Achlys:''' Another minor character in the SOTF series. Achlys is one of Danya's grunts who is quite the computer genius. He's the person responsible for fixing the downed cameras during season one. He also got a moment of glory when he was allowed the opportunity to shoot down the helicopter containing Rice, Kaige, and McLocke.

'''Garnett:''' Of the four terrorists revealed during season one, Garnett is the most enigmatic. During the Fourth Announcement incident that resulted in his companions having their vocal chords severed and being thrown onto the island, Garnett was confirmed to have escaped the base before Danya returned. What happened to Garnett after he went AWOL is currently unknown.

'''Shannon McLocke:''' Perhaps better known as TBLACK, Shannon McLocke used to be one of Danya's most trusted employees. During the Fourth Announcement of the first season, McLocke was responsible for the "fanfiction fiasco" that sent Danya rampaging back to Headquarters. Along with Kaige and Rice, McLocke was thrown onto the island along with the students and was killed in action.

'''Angelina Kaige:''' Better known as TBLUE, Angelina Kaige was another of Danya's most valued employees. She, too, was a member of the Fourth Announcement fiasco, and while Kaige wasn't directly responsible for the ongoings in Danya's personal office, she was deemed guilty by association and faced the same punishment as McLocke and Rice. Kaige made a quite heavy impact in the game, nearly making it to the end before being eliminated by [[Jack O'Connor]].

'''Elijah Rice:''' The final member of the "Terrific Three" that was thrown onto the island after the Fourth Announcement incident. Elijah Rice, known as TGREEN on the island, was the terrorist who made the fatal mistake of placing his can of soda on the announcement button, sealing the fate of himself and his co-workers in the process. While on the island, Rice temporarily aligned himself with [[Clemence Ceillet de Rousseau]], who he'd had quite a fixation on throughout the season. Rice, much like his counterparts, was eventually killed in action.

'''Jim Greynolds:''' After the disappearance of Garnett, Kaige, McLocke, and Rice, Greynolds rose to the frontlines just in time for season two of SOTF, but his ties with Danya go much further back than that. In fact, Greynolds often claims the SOTF ACT was originally his idea. He was the only terrorist not forced onto the island to act as a prize deliverer at some point during V2. It's also rumored that Greynolds has a pet penguin, though this is unconfirmed.

'''Sonia Nguyen:''' Described as being the successor to Angelina Kaige, Sonia Nguyen is another of Danya's trusted allies who rose to the frontlines directly before the beginning of season two. Nguyen found herself playing delivery girl throughout much of V2, and was stuck at the island's marina for a large majority of the second season. Nguyen's background is shrouded in mystery, and all that has been confirmed about her are her lethal skills in fighting.

'''Melvin Carter:''' Perhaps the most silent of Danya's newest allies, very little is known about Melvin Carter. He was put in charge of orchestrating the abduction of P.J. Gilroy Academy's ninth grade class. As somewhat of a testament to Melvin's personality, the scene he selected to subject the Gilroy students to during their debriefing was perhaps one of the most disturbing scenes of the first season -- [[Cody Jenson]]'s brutal rape and murder of [[Madelaine Shirohara]].

'''Steven "Steve" Wilson:''' Perhaps the most publicized of Danya's new staff additions. He's the oldest of the four and it is implied that he's had heavy ties with Danya for a long time. Steve is most notable for being the principal of Bathurst High School during the abduction and having set the students up to be kidnapped and killed. He, like the other terrorists, is a member of the U.S.'s Most Wanted list, wanted for the crime of high treason.

'''[Name Unknown]:''' Unknown affiliation with organization (?-2005). This unnamed soldier has been affiliated with Danya since before the beginning of the SOTF ACT. He presumably helped to organize the ACT itself, had a hand in the abductions for the first season, and was also responsible for the execution of Barry Coleson's teachers. Presumably of high importance, he was one of the elite few chosen to escort season one winner [[Adam Dodd]] off of the island. It was during this encounter with Dodd that this individual began to question Danya's motives behind the game. After this encounter, he disappeared from the organization. He launched an underground campaign against Danya in hopes of making the truth of the SOTF ACT known to the public, but his allies were too few and too far in between. He soon found himself being tracked by Danya's men, who hoped to silence him. The result of his running was a chance encounter with Southridge student [[Julie Mikan]]. Julie harbored him in her home before he opted to leave, unwilling to put the girl in more danger than he already had. His current whereabouts are unknown, but it is believed he was captured and is being held against his will.

<big><center>'''Survival of the Fittest Winners'''</center></big>

'''Sydney Morvran:''' Winner, SOTF v0. Syd hailed from Aberthol High School and participated in the final SOTF trial run, dubbed "V0". During his game, Syd barricaded the school building and holed up inside along with his group of friends. After a harmless incident went awry, his friends wound up slaughtering one another and Syd managed to avoid death by using his friend Jess as a shield. He went on to win the game by hiding and managed to avoid killing any of his classmates. As some kind of twisted punishment for not killing any of the other students, Danya threw him back onto the island where he was killed during the first official season of SOTF.

'''Adam Dodd:''' Winner, SOTF v1. One of the most well-known characters of season one, as well the the eventual winner of the game. Adam was the first winner of SOTF to be sent home after the program (See: Sydney Morvran). The first portion of Adam's game was spent in a vain attempt at saving the other members of a group now dubbed the "Intrepid Six" -- his romantic interest, [[Amanda Jones]]; [[Madelaine Shirohara]]; [[Hawley Faust]], [[David Jackson]], and [[Marcus Roddy]], six students who he formed very deep ties with while on the island. After the death of his friends, Adam swore to win the game and kill Danya at the end. He racked up one of the highest kill counts in SOTF with an astonishing twelve kills to his name -- and all but two kills being self-defense. At the end of the game, he fights and kills [[Cody Jenson]] (who murdered Madelaine and Amanda) and is escorted off the island where he meets Danya. Adam doesn't manage to kill Danya, but he does manage to inflict him with a scar across his face. During the third season of the game, Adam is reabducted and placed back into the game with the rest of his classmates at Southridge High School.

'''Bryan Calvert:''' Winner, SOTF v2. Perhaps the most well-known character of season two, as well as the winner of the game. Bryan could be described as more of an anti-hero than a protagonist. He actively engages in the murder of several people on the island, most of which seem to be either circumstancial or revenge-related in nature. Throughout the season, he sticks close to [[Tori Johnson]], his romantic interest from Bathurst High School. Bryan suffers through the loss of his "leader" and close friend, [[Seth Mattlock]], but perseveres and manages to make it to the end of the season. When Tori is killed by someone he once considered a friend -- [[Mariavel Varella]] -- Bryan is pushed over the edge and vows to kill her. At the end of the season, he accidentally kills [[Whitney Acosta]] in some twisted parallel to Tori's death before finally finding Mariavel. Mariavel is killed during the fight and Bryan is declared the winner of the second season afterward.

<big><center>'''Notable Students'''</center></big>

'''Jack O'Connor:''' Runner-up, SOTF v1. Jack's most notable contribution while participating in season one of SOTF was his success in hacking into Danya's systems and downloading a virus into his programs. While it was nothing besides a minor annoyance to Danya, Jack ''did'' succeed in taking the conclusion of season one off the air, forcing the conclusion to be aired later on in the year.

'''Cody Jenson:''' Third place, SOTF v1. Quite possibly the most notorious villain of season one (especially during the latter half of the game) and one of the most memorable villains. Cody was the rival of fourth place contestant [[Sidney Crosby]], and during the game, he developed an intense rivalry with season one winner [[Adam Dodd]]. Cody was responsible for the brutal rape and murder of [[Madelaine Shirohara]] as well as the death of [[Amanda Jones]]. He came in second place overall in season one, eliminated by Adam Dodd.

'''Sidney Crosby:''' Fourth place, SOTF v1. Canadian hockey phenom, rival to [[Cody Jenson]], and all-around coward, Crosby managed to gain some sort of cult following during his time in season one. He appeared relatively late in the game, sticking with [[Chance Burton]]'s group until Chance is killed. Later on in the game, he runs into [[Jill Gatling]], [[Jack O'Connor]], and [[Martyn "Murdoc" Ferdinand|Martyn Ferdinand]] at the warehouse and temporarily aligns himself with them. He and Jack are the only members of the group to survive [[Angelina Kaige]]'s assault on the warehouse, and Sid manages to slither his way into the final four and even ends up taking a bullet for the eventual winner, Adam Dodd, and also ends up being the instrument of [[Cody Jenson]]'s demise. He is shot in the head by Jenson, ending his game.

'''Jeremy Torres:''' Eighth place, SOTF v1. One of the most long-lived protagonists in season one. Jeremy belonged to a large group consisting of [[Fredrik Hughes|Fred Hughes]], [[Glenn Hughes]], and [[Mallory DeLuca]], along with multiple other students. Jeremy was a driving force on the island and pushed for escape throughout the entirety of the season. He only succumbs to the game very late in the season when he is forced to kill competitor [[Eh-Sun Choi]] at the warehouse. Near the end of the game, he finds himself locked in a car chase with [[Lucinda Garnett]]. The two inadvertantly drive into the dangerzone, and before his collar can be detonated, Jeremy eliminates himself from the game as one final screw-over to Mr. Danya.

'''Peri Barclay:''' 105th eliminated, SOTF v1. Another infamous killer throughout season one, Peri is famous for shooting first and asking questions never. He aligned himself with childhood friend [[Stevan Hyde]] early on in the game, and together, the two led a bloody assault on the entire island, eliminating anyone and everyone who fell within shooting range. Peri was separated from Stevan late in the game and encountered [[Dorian Greywood]] shortly after. The events that occurred between Peri and Dorian have been dubbed the "Bathroom Fiasco". After leaving Dorian, Peri ran into [[Adam Dodd]] and attacked him. He was decapitated in the fight.

'''Jacob Starr:''' 59th eliminated, SOTF v1. One of the most notorious killers throughout season one, especially during the first half of the season. Jacob aligned himself with [[Uriel Hunter]] throughout the first few days of the game, killing anyone he could and actively hunting [[Adam Dodd]] and [[Hawley Faust]]. After Uriel was killed, Jacob continued playing the game. He did unwittingly kill Hawley, who succumbed to wounds inflicted upon him by Jacob over the first few days on the island. Jacob continued to be a brutal force on the island until approximately halfway through the game. After the destruction of the "Intrepid Six", Jacob encounters Adam Dodd and reveals that he was responsible for the death of [[David Jackson]]. During the resulting fight, Jacob is killed by Adam.

'''Amanda Jones:''' 55th eliminated, SOTF v1. [[Adam Dodd]]'s romantic interest and a member of the "Intrepid Six". Amanda grew quite close to [[Madelaine Shirohara]]. She was nearly killed by [[Blaine Eno]] relatively early in the game, but was saved by [[Adam Dodd]]. Together, the group vowed to find a way off the island before being systematically picked off, one by one. Immediately following Madelaine's brutal murder, Amanda was killed by a bullet from [[Cody Jenson]]'s gun when he fired at [[Sidney Crosby]] before escaping from the river. Amanda's death was what pushed Adam over the edge and made him vow to eliminate Cody Jenson.

'''Madelaine Shirohara:''' 54th eliminated, SOTF v1. Perhaps one of the most influential and well-known members of the "Intrepid Six", falling in rank with [[Adam Dodd]] and [[Hawley Faust]]. Madelaine was, put simply, the glue that held the group together. She was calm, caring, and rational, and it was quite possibly due to her cool head that the group survived as long as they did. Madelaine was responsible for the death of her best friend, [[Nanami Nishida]], when Nanami succumbed to the game and attacked their group. Later on in the game, she was viciously assaulted, raped, and killed by [[Cody Jenson]]. Her death, along with the death of [[Amanda Jones]], was the inspiration that caused Adam to pursue Cody for the latter half of the season. After her death, [[Madelaine Shirohara Day]] began in the state of New York.

'''David Jackson:''' 51st eliminated, SOTF v1. Another member of the "Intrepid Six", David joined up with [[Madelaine Shirohara]] and [[Amanda Jones]] early in the game under the pretense that he wished to protect Amanda because of her status as the Vice-President's daughter. The truth was, David harbored a large crush on Amanda throughout the game. He was perhaps the most tempermental and distrusting of the Intrepid Six, and he formed a sort of ongoing rivalry with [[Jacob Starr]] over the course of the game. After [[Cody Jenson]] locks Amanda and Madelaine inside the warehouse, David chases Jacob away from the scene hoping to buy [[Adam Dodd]] and [[Martyn "Murdoc" Ferdinand|Martyn Ferdinand]] enough time to free the girls. During the resulting fight between himself and Jacob, David is killed.

'''Marcus Roddy:''' 46th eliminated, SOTF v1. Perhaps one of the lesser known members of the "Intrepid Six", as they have since been dubbed, but a member and an important protagonist nonetheless. Marcus is best remembered for his powerful resolve and horrible stutter. He fell victim to a horrific beating by [[Cody Jenson]] approximately halfway through the season and eventually fell into a coma due to his wounds. He was inevitably eliminated from the competition by [[Adam Dodd]], who thought it better to kill Marcus out of mercy than leave him to be killed in some horrific way by another competitor.

'''Hawley Faust:''' 43rd eliminated, SOTF v1. Hawley was eliminated relatively early during season one, but is arguably one of the most well-known characters of the season. He quickly succumbed to the game very early in season one, but after meeting up with season one winner [[Adam Dodd]], Hawley redeemed himself and went on to become one of the leading protagonists of the season. Hawley eventually succumbed to wounds approximately halfway through the season, and his death had a detremental affect on the remainder of the "Intrepid Six". After Hawley's death, the group started to fall apart, the members quickly being picked off by various murderers. Adam was the only survivor.

'''Andrew Lipson:''' 18th eliminated, SOTF v1. Arguably one of the most tragic characters of season one, Andrew Lipson was the wheelchair-bound best friend of season one winner [[Adam Dodd]]. Lipson was eliminated very early in the game due to a series of unfortunate events. While trying to contact Dodd via cell phone during a thunderstorm, he was struck by a bolt of lightning, fell from his wheelchair, and rolled down onto the shores of the island where, unable to move, he drowned. His death was a pivotal point in Adam Dodd's game.

--

'''Mariavel Varella:''' Easily the most notorious female villain of season two, with a kill count rivalled only by that of season two winner [[Bryan Calvert]]. Mariavel succumbed to the game early on, losing her mind and drifting into insanity. Being raped by [[Walter Smith]] and discovering that the leader of the [[Bloody Fists (gang)|Bloody Fists]] and her romantic interest, [[Seth Mattlock]], had been eliminated from the game only served to send her futher down the path of madness. Mariavel spends her entire game destroying the competition before finally facing [[Bryan Calvert]] -- Seth's murderer -- at the end of the season. Mariavel loses their fight and just before her death, is faced with several revelations about her past.

'''Ricky Callahan:''' Third place, SOTF v2. One of the protagonists of season two. Early in the game, he formed a group with [[Jackie Kovacs]], [[Gail Smith]], [[John Matthews]], and [[Kayla Ravoy]]. After finding his romantic interest, [[Whitney Acosta]], his entire group was decimated by the game and he quickly found that his sole motivation for continuing through the game was to send Whitney home. At the end of the game, Whitney is eliminated by [[Bryan Calvert]]. All the pent-up anger and frustration of the game devestates Ricky after her death, and he breaks down mentally before eliminating himself from the competition, believing he failed his "mission" by not being able to protect Whitney.

'''Whitney Acosta:''' Fourth place, SOTF v2. [[Ricky Callahan]]'s romantic interest prior to and well into the second season of SOTF. Ricky saved Whitney from an untimely death at the hands of [[Eric Silvstedt]], inadvertantly killing his best friend in the process. After the incident, the two stuck together throughout the remainder of the game, with Ricky promising to send Whitney home at the end. When Whitney was accidentally killed by [[Bryan Calvert]], who had mistaken her for [[Mariavel Varella]] at the end of the season, Ricky promptly committed suicide, setting the stage for Bryan to fight Mariavel at the end of the game.

'''Tori Johnson:''' Fifth place, SOTF v2. [[Bryan Calvert]]'s romantic interest and ultimately, his reason for continuing on in the game. Tori found Bryan early on in the season and stuck to him like glue, saving him from trouble as well as sinking him into it a few times throughout the game. Her relationship with Bryan grew while on the island and it was Tori who was perhaps responsible for the drastic evolution that Bryan showed over the course of the game. Her death at the end of the season nearly broke him and provided the motivation he needed to hunt down and eliminate her murderer, his former friend, [[Mariavel Varella]].

'''Damien Carter-Madison:''' Sixth place, SOTF v2. A poor, tortured soul from P.J. Gilroy Academy whose sole purpose in the game was to enact vengeance upon the students who had wronged him, and he was willing to eliminate anything standing in his way. Damien was a man with a plan. Even from the very first day of the season, he knew exactly who he wanted to eliminate from the competition, and he even wound up scoring a few other kills along the way. He gained infamy and notoriety around the island for his murders, and nearly made it to the end before a battle with [[Mariavel Varella]] fatally wounded him and he succumbed to blood loss.

'''Vesa Turunen:''' Seventh place, SOTF v2. Finnish hockey phenom Vesa Turunen had a reputation as large as his stature throughout the second season of SOTF. He aligned himself with a few different groups temporarily, but the Fin really came to the forefront when he joined up with [[Ricky Callahan]] and his group around the time they went to the hotel. After Mariavel killed [[Matthias Kovalenko]] at the hotel, she and Vesa fought, with Vesa accidentally killing [[Debrah Dollop]] during the skirmish. He went on to make it to nearly the end of the season before being eliminated by [[Damien Carter-Madison]].

'''Franco Sebberts:''' 106th eliminated, SOTF v2. Coming in third after [[Bryan Calvert]] and [[Mariavel Varella]], Franco was one of the most notorious killers on the island, gathering a total of six eliminations during the game. Franco gained a sort of infamy by winning several Best Kill Awards during his stay on the island, but was killed near the end of season two when the industrial district warehouse he and several other students had been in collapsed and crushed him.

'''Seth Mattlock:''' 97th eliminated, SOTF v2. Seth is most notable for being the leader of the [[Bloody Fists (gang)|Bloody Fists]]. Most of Seth's time on the island was spent laying low, and the first real impact the leader of the Fists made was when he walked in on gang member [[Mariavel Varella]] being brutally raped by [[Walter Smith]]. Seth saves Mariavel and fights Walter before the fight is broken up by another gang member, [[Bryan Calvert]]. Later on in the season, we see Seth again when he intervenes on the hostage situation taking place between [[Felix Travertil]], [[Tori Johnson]], and [[Bryan Calvert]] on the roof of the hotel. Seth is fatally wounded by Felix in the battle and insists that Bryan win the game before succumbing to his wounds. Seth played a pivotal role for both Mariavel and Bryan (even furthering Mariavel's descent into insanity with his death) throughout the remainder of the game.

'''Jackie Kovacs:''' 34th eliminated, SOTF v2. During his time in season two, Jackie Kovacs banded together with [[Ricky Callahan]], [[Gail Smith]], [[John Matthews]], and [[Kayla Ravoy]]. Together, the group was bent on escaping the island. When the group split up to search for supplies in the residential district, Jackie was attacked and killed by [[Felix Travertil]]. His death motivated most everyone in the group in one way or another -- for students like Ricky and Gail, their resolve to conquer the game was strengthened. As for John, he set a goal to hunt down and eliminate Felix for killing Jackie.

'''Eric Silvstedt:''' 22nd eliminated, SOTF v2. While not a significant player on the island, Eric's attack on [[Whitney Acosta]] that ultimately lead to the altercation between himself and his best friend, [[Ricky Callahan]], proved to be a very pivotal point for Ricky. Eric was impaled on the makeshift spear he'd fashioned during their altercation, and Ricky's accidental murder of his best friend haunts him throughout the entirety of season two.

<big><center>'''Friends and Family'''</center></big>

'''Grant Varella:''' Mariavel's older brother, now deceased. While Grant only makes one appearance during season two in a flashback Mariavel has directly before her death, he plays a very pivotal role in her motivations for winning the game. The trademark green berette that Mariavel latches onto throughout season two was given to her by her brother shortly before he was beaten to death by their alcoholic father.

'''Nicole Carter-Madison:''' The mother of [[Damien Carter-Madison]] and an influential figure within the city of Denton, New Jersey. Throughout much of Damien's progress in the game, his mother's reactions to his doings are shown. In his delusional state, Damien believes that Nicole is the cause of SOTF and believes she is trying to exploit him for her own personal gain.

'''Luke Dodd:''' The biological brother of [[Adam Dodd]], who was committed to an institution years ago due to an incident where he lost control and attacked his older brother, putting him in the hospital and threatening his life. It was discovered that Luke's condition was a result of the medication that he was taking, and he remained within the institution in Canada for a few years, undergoing some counselling, as well as switching to a different medication. When Adam was placed in SOTF the first time, he felt regret that he had never forgiven his brother for what he had done, and used this as a form of motivation for himself. When Adam won the game and was returned to the United States, Adam returned to Canada and finally forgave his brother. As of 2007, when Adam was reabducted back with the rest of his Southridge High classmates, Luke had been released from the hospital and was living a more-or-less normal life with the rest of his family in Canada, having almost completely recovered from the adverse effects of the medication.
