Shipwreck. 1x1

[walk.]

The waves tossed and turned, crashing the boat against the rocks and four teens, the captain's boy, the lady's daughter, the maid and the crew man were all tossed aboard. Their entire family lost their lives, but they were lucky enough to survive. Washed on the shore of a tropical island in the middle of the Indian ocean, how will they survive?

The members.

"My name? Why must you know? I do not know you, or at least, I don't think I do. Why should you know, that's what I'm asking? Oh I may as well tell you. It's Aurora Eliza Grace Heaven Bestro. But You don't need to say all of it. Just Aurora will do. And yes, Aurora as in the aurora borealis, or however you spell it. I don't know if it has a meaning, and don't care. All you need to know is, that it is my name, and it is what you shall adress me as, no nicknames such as Aura, or Rore. Aurora is perfectly decent. And my 1st middle name is Eliza, and I have a feeling it means butterfly or something, but I don't know. Grace was my grandmother's name, but it is only written down on my birth certificate and Heaven is because I was my parents only child, and loved deeply. Bestro was my father's name, because my parents were happily married.

"Age is just a number, but as I told you my name, what harm can this do? 19 is the correct answer, so still a teen, yet an adult at the same time, it's amazing because you still feel young, yet you earn that maturity you've wanted for so long. I was born on the 3rd of July, a day before the american festival. I was early actually, by one day. But my mother was happy, she came out of hospital on that day and paraded me around, and we had a picnic in the park."

"If you thought I was a male, I am deeply offended. I am 100% female and have been right from birth up until this very moment. Oh and I am straight, nothing different there.

name ;; "My full name is Serene Adele Weaver. Remember it, because you're not getting a second introduction."

nickname ;; "Just call me Serene. No Adele or funny shortened forms of Serene whatsoever, thank you very much. Some of my friends call me 'ice princess' as a joke too, but more often than not it's used by people who like to talk behind my back."

gender ;; "I'm a female, girl, woman; basically the gender addressed as 'she' and 'her', you know?"

age ;; "I'm 21. It's a nice age, transitioning from a child to an adult."

birthday ;; "I was born April 18. Now that you know it, you owe me a present."

faceclaim ;; Jessica Jung
writeup and coding ;; done by me
pictures ;; credit to owners

height ;; "I'm kinda sensitive about this, but whatever. I'm 5'7, which I'm told is pretty tall. Depending on who I'm with or whether I'm wearing heels, I fluctuate between feeling too tall or too short. Yeah, I'm just weird like that."

weight ;; "You're asking a girl that? Seriously? I'm 110 pounds, okay?. Now moving on."

build ;; "I'm quite slender, but I wouldn't call myself stick-thin. I mean, I'm offically a little underweight but what can you do about genetics? I love eating and I basically eat a ton, but I don't gain weight easily."

hair ;; "My hair is pale brown, and I like keeping it long, around mid-back or so, because it's so much more versatile that way. Straight, curls, braids, buns, ponytails, you can't do those with short hair. Anyway, I had shoulder-length hair when I was young and I pretty much looked like an octopus, so that put me off short hair for life."

eyes ;; "My eyes are just boring old dark brown, which is kinda meh. Blue or green is so much cooler."



likes ;; "My greatest passions are singing and dancing, which I've been doing since I was young. In my free time, I like to read or be measured for new clothes. Dresses and heels are pretty much my entire wardrobe, but I like them. My favourite season is winter, because the cold air is lovely, and there's nothing prettier than a frosty, snow-covered landscape. Besides reading, my favourite pastime is definitely hanging out with my friends, just talking or playing games; with them, I feel totally comfortable and I can embarrass myself freely. When it comes to animals, I'm a pretty typical girl; I love horses, dogs, cats, furry little rodents and the like."

dislikes ;; "I hate cucumbers so, so much. I don't know why, but even the smell makes me nauseous, so don't even talk to me if you've eaten anything with cucumber in it. I'm not kidding. I don't like bugs either, any kind at all; whether they be ants or beetles or spiders, they all totally gross me out. No slimy things either, like squids, and that counts for food too. My absolute pet peeve is when people judge me without knowing me, dumping me into the 'mean' category by default just because I don't smile much, because I'm not mean at all. Really. I don't like people who show off either, both brains and brawn. I mean, I can appreciate intelligence and abs as much the next person, but don't shove it in my face, thanks."

downfalls ;; "I'm pretty bad at expressing my feelings, I guess. I usually keep it in and maintain this zoned out expression if I'm unhappy, until the day I can't take it and blow. Also, sports is so not my thing: sprinting, endurance, jumping, throwing, I just fail at all of them. My limbs just don't have the strength that good athletes have. I'm totally lazy, and if I don't feel like doing my best in something on a particular day, nothing will convince me to put in more effort. Neither do I take any kind of pressure well, it just makes me snarky and annoyed, so everyone becomes miserable."

talents ;; "I have a pretty decent voice, if I do say so myself, and I pick up dance steps pretty quickly too. That's about it, I suppose. How many talents am I expected to have anyway?"

personality ;; "I guess I should address this 'ice princess' persona of mine first. I'm not actually cold and mean and uncaring, I only appear that way to strangers because honestly, if I don't know you I'm going to be absolutely indifferent to you. I don't really like talking to strangers so I tend to ignore them and act aloof. Don't ask me why because I don't know exactly why myself; I'm certainly not shy or anything like that. I'm never going to be hyper and totally insane either though; I know how to have fun and joke around, but no one will call me 'the life of the party' in a million years. To tell the truth, what I love is being surrounded by my friends, just listening to them talk and laugh, without having to say much at all. In essence, I'm just pretty reserved.

"I'll be honest here: I get angry quite easily. Some people call me petty, and maybe I am. I don't go around throwing tantrums though, I simmer and hold grudges. Yeah, I'm that kind of person. I don't cry easily, not at sad movies or touching situations, but if I do it's usually because I'm angry. I can also be brutally honest, so I'm kind of insensitive in that way, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm loyal through and through to my best friends. Whether they get angry at me or ignore my 'advice', I'll always be there for them. Around people I'm comfortable with, I can get pretty playful when I'm in the mood; usually it's childish stuff, like poking them and acting innocent, or rolling a water bottle around to annoy the heck out of them.

"Another thing about me is that I'm self-conscious about 99% of the time. I worry a lot about my hair, my body, how people see me, that sort of thing; not in an 'I have low self-esteem' sort of way, but in a 'I hope I look good' way, which isn't the same at all. I don't have complaints about how I look, but what kind of girl doesn't worry about her appearance once in a while? I don't like showing people I'm vulnerable though, so I tend to put on this self-confident front, like I'm totally satisfied with myself, which is probably the reason I get called proud or snotty or whatever."

history ;; "My father owns a lot of land, so I grew up in a nice house with a big yard, surrounded by servants. I learnt some numbers, languages and history here and there because my mother didn't want me to be completely ignorant, like many of my female friends. There was a riding stable out back, so my dad occasionally brought me out on hunts, which I loved, except for the bit where the fox is killed."



family ;; "Well, I have a mum and a dad. They're absolutely sweet and I love them to bits, of course, but my dad is kind of over-protective so it gets annoying. My mum is amazing though, I can talk to her about almost everything. I have a younger brother too. He's five years younger than me and we're as close as can be, but that doesn't stop him from being the most annoying pest in the world."

pets ;; "I have the loveliest dog ever, no kidding. Her name's Myra and she's a Kooikerhondje, which is a mouthful, isn't it? She's just turning six this year, and she's an absolute sweetheart. Sometimes she'll lie across my lap while I read and I'll stroke her feather-soft fur. She's a little heavy for that now, but I still love her to bits. Here's a picture of her for you to admire."

crush ;; "None at the moment. I guard my heart pretty well, just so you know. I don't want a guy who's only interested in my body or something. Then again, my ideal guy is tall and charming, but what do you know, people are hypocritical."

relationship status ;; "Single, available and interested, so go for it."

past relationships ;; "I've had a few offers for my hand in marriage, but none that my father ever deemed a respectable match, so the answer would be none."

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

name ;; "I'm Jonathan Marc Hunter. A pretty cool name for a pretty cool guy, if I do say so myself."

nickname ;; "I go by Jon most of the time, but my friends call me Jonny if they're trying to be plain annoying. Middle names are pointless, because I probably wouldn't even respond to Marc."

gender ;; "If you think I'm a lady, there's something wrong with you. Last I checked, I was all guy."

age ;; "Just turned 24. They say age is just a number, but looking at all the fun you can have at 24, it's a pretty awesome number."

birthday ;; "January 5. That's my birthday, so remember it."



height ;; "I'm 5'11, which is pretty satisfactory to me; not too tall and not too short."

weight ;; "I'm 155 pounds. It's the muscles, you know, 'cos I like to work out."

build ;; "I'm pretty lanky, actually. I don't have the natural bulk some men have, but my work on the ship has definitely developed my body for the better. My shoulders will probably never be as wide as I 'd like them to be though."

hair ;; "My hair is dark brown and slightly wavy, but it looks quite light under the sun. I like to keep my fringe long and my hair messy in general; I've had this hairstyle for years because I found out that girls love that. I tend to look kind of shaggy if I let it get too long though."

eyes ;; "My friend described my eyes as stormy grey once, and I think that's as good a description as any. I'm very proud of my eye colour, it's one of the things I really like about myself."



likes ;; "You'll see what I mean when I say I'm a totally typical guy. Firstly, I love swimming because I'm genuinely comfortable in the water. I don't swim much in the ocean though, it's not exactly calm water or completely safe. Another thing I love is eating, and I eat almost anything; it's my absolute weakness, and my friends always lure me out with 'hey, let's go have lunch and hang out." This may sound weird, but I like flirting with girls: the unpredictability, the challenge, the chase, and of course the pretty face. Sorry, I'm just shallow like that."

dislikes ;; "You mean besides getting scolded for my mistakes? Okay, I don't like vegetables; there, it's childish but I said it. Lettuce, carrots, celery, just no, gross. I eat tomatoes though, but those are actually fruits, so whatever. I don't like bats either; their squeaking and flapping and fluttering creeps me out even though I try not to show it. Also, I hate people who talk and gossip behind others' backs, it absolutely infuriates me because they clearly don't have the guts to say it to the person's face. That's about it, 'cos I'm pretty chill about everything else."

downfalls ;; "Well, pride is my deadly sin, I admit it, although I prefer to think of it as being confident. But yeah, many of the fights I get into are because I can't take back my words or swallow my pride. Doesn't help that my temper is short too; I can't stand being criticised or corrected, it just makes me explode. I get angry when I'm wrong too, 'cos I'm hate that I'm wrong and I hate that the person caught my mistakes."

talents ;; "It's gonna sound bad saying it myself, but I'm a honestly a good athlete, especially at swimming of course. I've got the smarts too; I thought myself how to read with some of the captain's old books, and with a little bit of Roland's help I must admit."

personality ;; "Firstly, I'm really confident about myself, the kind of confident known as 'proud' to other people. I don't see what's wrong with it though; I'm tall, I'm good-looking, and I know it. Everything that comes out of my mouth sounds self-assured because I'm simply charismatic. Alright, I kid, but honestly, I just know who I am and I express myself freely, that's all. People are just easily offended because I make them feel inferior. In actual fact, I'm a pretty friendly and sociable guy if you bother to get to know me. I joke around a lot with my friends and I get loud when I'm excited, plus I love telling lame jokes that make everyone groan. I don't really care what strangers think of me though, so they can keep their thoughts to themselves.

"I'm pretty streetwise and cynical 'cos I basically fend for myself, so I've learned to be independent and judgemental. I don't trust people easily, especially rich ones, because you never know what they want or what plans they've got hidden up their sleeves. Often, even when I'm making friendly conversation with a stranger I'm already judging them on their clothes, the way they talk, and deciding whether or not to get to know the person more. I'm way more comfortable around guys because what you see is what you get with us. Guys don't act like snobs or backstab you, unlike a lot of the girls I know.

"This isn't to say I've only got guy friends, but whatever gender you are, if you're my friend and I trust you, you're basically one of the most valuable things in my life. If you're my friend, it means I accept every bit of you, good or bad. I realised it sounds like a marriage, but it's true. I care for my friends a lot, and I try to be there for them when they're in trouble or whatever; if a guy makes one of my female friends cry, he's in trouble."

history ;; "I was an orphan, actually. I grew up as an urchin on the streets, stealing food to survive, until I was caught pickpocketing the captain of a ship. Instead of beating me up or sending me to jail, he took me in and gave me a job, and I'll always be grateful to him."



family ;; "As I said, I was abandoned on the streets and I don't even remember my parents. The crew are my family now, seeing as I basically grew up with them."

pets ;; "Umm, the rats on the ship? I kid, I actually killed the rats, and there weren't other animals on the ship."

crush ;; "Don't be ridiculous, I don't have crushes. Girls crush on me."

relationship status ;; "I'm single, have been for quite a while."

past relationships ;; "It's kind of hard to meet girls when you're on the oceans most of the time. I've met a few girls when we docked, but I only ever saw them for a week at the most."

Serene honestly felt like she was going to throw up. She felt faint, dizzy and seasick from hunger, thirst, and being tossed around like a rag on this tiny raft. It was just a plank of wood, to be truthful, but someone had optimistically suggested calling it a raft to make everyone feel better. Serene didn't remember who and couldn't care less, nor did calling it a raft make her feel better in the least.

She hitched up her drenched skirts, not really caring that her ankles were showing, and stared grumpily out at the rolling waves, unwilling to complain if no one else was. She shifted uncomfortably, wishing the stupid plank was bigger so she could stretch her cramped legs. If Serene's tears came easily, she would've been a sobbing mess; she wondered how her parents had fared, for she had been separated from them in the panic and confusion. Laying her head on her knees, she sighed and blinked back her tears.

Jonathan pushed back his damp fringe, narrowing his eyes through the glare of the sun. Suddenly, his grey eyes widened and he gave an excited yell. "Hey! That looks like land! Do you see it?" He grabbed Roland's shoulder, steering him in the direction of his sighting and jabbing his finger in excitement. Using the shoulder as support, Jon scrambled to his feet unsteadily, rocking the raft frighteningly as if standing would give him a better view.

"We should row! It's our only hope of survival!" he said excitedly, before pausing to take in their lack of oars with some surprise. "Paddle, I mean," he added as an afterthought. The grin remained on his face though, for he felt that nothing could dampen his spirits now. Unless the island turned out to be a hallucination, that is.

Aurora was dying, on the inside and out. The small plank that she had called home for the last two days, was turning out to be more of a blessing than a curse. As the wind swept her long chocolate brown hair about in random directions, Aurora felt even greatly sickened, which she didn't think was possible, she hadn't felt this bad in her entire life, and now wasn't exactly the best time for it to come.

She leant up on her knees as she heard Jonathan's call, land did he say? To be honest, Aurora had hoped for another ship rather than land: she hadn't touched a sturdy surface since her 13th birthday, when she had boarded the boat six years ago, but now, she didn't care in the slightest, and was most certainly not complaining. Her face brightened as much as it could when you are parched, famished and extremely sick. She placed her dry hand into the sea and paddled for what was, quite literally her life.

What? Land? Roland didn't see any land... Oh wait! The young man winced as Jonathan yanked his shoulder and he saw, what was land! He cried out in happiness, but that cry turned to pain as his friend used his rather sore shoulder as a support to get to his feet. As the raft rocked from side to side, he grabbed Jonathan's leg for support and growled, "Calm down man!"

Roland shrugged Jonathan's hand off his shoulder and he flicked his sandy blonde hair out of his face and a hand to guard his eyes from the blazing sun, and it was land alright. He briefly thought back to his father, and his last words, "I will do the captain's duty and go down with the ship." he sighed, but was soon knocked out of the paranormal. He pulled a chunk off the raft and began to row.

Serene's eyes widened when one of the men began to shout about land, and she almost pulled a muscle in her neck trying to scramble around to have a look with her own eyes. When he tried to stand, though, seawater sloshed against her ankle as the raft tipped dangerously. "Sit down!" she shrieked, grabbing hold of the nearest person's arm: Aurora, she seemed to remember her name was. As the rocking subsided, she loosened her grip with a muttered "sorry," but the other girl seemed much too focused on flapping water around with her hand to reply.

"This isn't going to get us anywhere, you know?" Serene announced irritably, watching as her fellow survivors began paddling with their hands as if they were demented. "That might work," she said, pointing to the bit of plank in Roland's hand, "except this raft is small enough as it is." Her throat hurt, and even her voice sounded dry and raspy, so she settled for fixing him with a sharp glare.

j o n a t h a n
{ male } { single } { 24 years } { the crewman }

Jonathan openly rolled his eyes as he listened to Serene complain. Miss Serene, he amended in his head dryly. It was what she insisted on being called; when they were trying to survive she was still trying to establish her superiority, how typical. He was absolutely thankful for Aurora and Roland with him; he'd known them for years, working on the ship, and they were as close as could be. They were the best people to have around with this crazy harpy.

As he paddled as quickly as he could, ignoring the burning in his left arm, he shot a grin over at Roland. "Sorry about the shoulder, man," he said with an laugh. "At least you've got it easier now, that was a genius idea." Jonathan nodded in the direction of the plank in his friends hands. He turned his attention to his other friend, eyeing her with concern. "You holding up okay, Aurora? We should switch sides later so you can rest your right hand and I can rest my left."

Aurora ignored Serene, well you had to, if you we're to say sane anyways. She paused momentarily to brush her hair from her eyes before placing her hand back into the water. She then priced what Roland was doing, and it was a good idea. As Serene began complaining about, well, whatever she was talking about, Aurora rolled her eyes and snapped a piece of wood off the raft, and pushing into the sea.

Aurora grunted slightly, but as Serene let out another remark and she snapped, "Well do you have any better ideas? If so, please share..." she did another couple of strokes before Jonanathan spoke and she said "I'll be alright, I think at the rate we'll going, we will have reached land by the time I need a break." she grinned at him before doing another stroke.

Roland continued paddling, at first, able to ignore Serene's snarky comments. But as his eyes locked into her gaze, he just growled, "Oh shut up will you, grab a plank of wood and row!" he was quite fed up with it to be honest, and since he was the only one with the authority to speak to her like that, he felt that he should, or his friends would have to put up with her complaining until they reached land.

He paddled a few more strokes, the sun beating down heavily on his bare back and he turned to Jonathan, a grin spreading across his perfect white teeth and said, "No worries, it's been pestering me for a while now and you just get used to it!" he flicked his sandy blonde hair from his eyes before admitting, "Dad taught it to me, I have him to thank for all my knowledge." .

If Serene was annoyed at Aurora's tone towards her, she was certainly extremely insulted by Roland's comment. Holding back a sharper retort than just "fine!" which she regretted after saying since it sounded so childish, she gingerly dipped her hand into the water. It was cool to the touch, but somehow different from freshwater. Biting her lip, she slowly started to sweep at the water the way Jonathan was doing; she doubted she had the strength to break wood, and she didn't want to make a further fool of herself.

Serene had paddled for a bit before a thought struck her. "There aren't sharks around here, are there?" she asked somewhat nervously, her voice hoarse and dry. She hoped they weren't going to snap at her again, she'd done nothing to deserve that sort of disrespectful treatment.

"Your dad was the bravest, kindest man I ever met," Jonathan murmured quietly. "He always stuck by his duty no matter what, plus he totally saved our lives with this idea!" He laughed slightly in an attempt to lighten the mood, breaking off a piece of wood as well and dipping it into the water. He peered at the slowly looming shape of the island, pleased that they were clearly making progress.

"There'll probably be people living on that island," Jonathan said, sounding more confident than he actually felt. "They'll have food and water for us until we're rescued,
I'm sure." He fixed his gaze on the jungle bordering the beach with some trepidation, wondering what form of creatures lived within.

Aurora chuckled quietly at Serene's remark and shook her head is disbelief slowly. She paddling another few strokes before putting her feet into the water. Much to her delight, she felt sand shift Inbetween her toes and in response to Serene said, "It's too shallow!" she waggled her toes gently and closed her eyes happily.

She turned back towards Jonathan and said, "It's obviously shallow enough to walk the rest of the way to the island, which means there will be fish in the bays around here, I suggest we get to shore, and then set about catching them." Aurora, despite coming across as quiet at first, was actually quite bossy when it came to important things. [size]

Roland listened to Serene and chuckled and said, "Don't worry your lady." he took another few strokes before leaning back panting, listening to what Jonathan said and he murmered, "I suppose he was..." he lay back on the plank, his bare chest rippling in the sunlight. He then heard Serene and said, "I don't think so Serene, it's too close to the island."

He sat up and said in reply to Jonathan, "I'm not so sure they'd be welcome of visitors, they probably wouldn't understand us, nor us them." he slid into the water and let out a sigh of relief as he felt the sand and said. "Watch out for rocks." he then turned to Serene and asked, "Would you like me to carry you?".
