				Hello my toys... I mean fellow writers... and welcome to the OOC thread for Trapped in Paradise; A Murder Mystery.<br><br>In this thread, you'll be free to chatter, post character profiles and share out of character thoughts, concerns and general questions if something isn't clear. The real action will appear in the IC thread that I will be creating in a few minutes, but here is the place to get to know each other and set up those sub plots that you may be itching to do. :)<br><br>The following format will be used for character profiles. If you feel that there is anything that should be added about your character, you're free to do so as well. As I mentioned before, every character must have a compelling reason for wanting Mr. sameul Hastings dead... if they would actually do it or not.<br><br>The murder has been selected and if you haven't been notified by now... well..&nbsp; you ain't it. Fortunately, that's all you'll know and it's up to you to figure out who it is!<br><br>Good Luck and keep your doors locked!<br><br>Character Profile.<br><br>Player's name<br>Character's name:<br>Sex:<br>Age:<br>Nationality:<br><br>Physical Description (More than hair/eye color and height, please)<br><br>Brief History (What brought the character to this point, important moments and how they came to grief with Mr. Hastings)<br><br>The motive should be sent to me via PM and I will keep it with a copy of everything else. This may be in itself a fine bit of detective work for everyone.

				The year is 1939 and while war rages in Europe and Asia, it has not yet touched the United States and those who may face the fighting hopes that it never will. Is it a vane hope?<br><br>While this is designed to be a murder mystery with the murderer among the characters and the threat of more deathes… or worse… the story is also about the characters and how they deal with the events that are unfolding. Suddenly trapped at the retreat and cut off from any communication with the mainland, it’s up to the “guest” to discover the killer in their mist and what to do with it when they figure it out. Eroticism is welcome and the level and content of the sex is up to the individual player. If necessary, separate threads will be created for the individual scenes. It’s all up to your characters where the story goes and how quickly the crime can be solved. Conflict and arguments will be handled in character through writing and what your character learns or finds will be wholely dependent upon what he or she does. Good luck!<br><br>Opening Post may be made once a Character Profile has been offered and should begin with arival on the island.

				<strong>Player's name:</strong> Innocence<br><strong>Character's name:</strong> Kara Winterstone<br><strong>Sex:</strong> Female<br><strong>Age:</strong> 23<br><strong>Nationality:</strong> Eurasian [Half Chinese Half Irish]<br><strong>Orientation:</strong> Straight<br><br><strong>Physical Description:</strong> Kara has medium length wavy black hair that barely reaches her shoulders.&nbsp; Her eyes are a dull storm gray and her skin is fair.&nbsp; She has freckles on her face, but they are pretty hard to see.&nbsp; She is 170 cm or 5'7" and tends to wear neat casual clothing. At the start of her arrival she is wearing a white long sleeved button-down shirt with a red singlet underneath.&nbsp; She also has on a plain black skirt with rose patterned stockings underneath.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Kara likes to interact with people, she is fairly friendly and easy to get along with, but she is also quite dense.&nbsp; She won't realize she is being hit on or if someone is being sarcastic unless clearly stated. <br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Kara Winterstone was a struggling freelance writer. After studying 3 years of Journalism her degree took her no where. She took on a part time job as a columnist in one of Mr Hasting's papers while trying to get one of her novels published. She was content with her job as it paid the bills and she had sick leave and annual leave.&nbsp; However she always wanted to go on to write bigger things than the 'What 5 households items are actually killing you' pieces she was pulling out of her ... well you know. She thought she got her big break when&nbsp; Mr Hastings took an interest in her work. The two had been spending a fair amount of time together discussing the possibility of publishing one of her murder mystery novels. <br><br><strong>Kinks: </strong> Kara is actually the conservative type, and will be difficult to get anywhere pass the 'friend stage' with.&nbsp; But once cleared you will be surprised at what this little angel-faced succubus can do.<br>

				Don't forget to send me your character's motive in a PM when you post the profile. Every character must have a stated motive.

				Are we still gonna do this? I've been deathly sick, which is why I didn't throw in a character earlier. =p<br><br><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 1.45em;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Character Profile.</strong></span></span><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/70/CaroleLandis.jpg)</div><strong>Player's name:</strong> angelic traces.<br><strong>Character's name:</strong> Elizabeth "Lizzie" Gwendolyn Harrison.<br><strong>Sex:</strong> Female.<br><strong>Age:</strong> Twenty Four.<br><strong>Nationality:</strong> American. <br><br><strong>Physical Description:</strong> Usually described as beautiful, Lizzie is an attractive girl. She is average height (five six), but a lady never reveals her weight. Nonetheless, she is well proportioned. Her hair is a light brown and curls naturally. She keeps it at a fashionable length and would never go without her bobby pins. Lizzie is usually well dressed, preferring stylish dresses to pants even as they become acceptable for women to wear. <br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> The Harrison family comes from old money and Lizzie grew up in the lap of luxury. Her parents sent her to all of the best schools but never planned for her to do anything with that education. When she came home from Smith College, her full time job was to help her mother throw lavish parties for the other blue-bloods and her father's wealthy friends. They presented her with many suitors, but she never took an interest in any of them. A little more than a year ago, her father introduced her to one of his most promising business contracts. Samuel Hastings was a fascinating character and although Lizzie took a liking to him, she had no idea what was to come. Five months after that party, Lizzie's father died suddenly. Since then, her mother has been putting pressure on her to settle down but Lizzie has been much too busy trying to figure out how exactly her father died...

				I am sad to make this announcement. Due to lack of interest by those who had indicated interest in the story and having too few active players to make the storyline work, I am closing down this thread and shelving the story.<br><br>Thank you for your interest and willingness to be involved in the story.<br><br>Blinkin
