The "Friends" category was originally intended for listing other player-characters, but I guess NPC's can be listed as well.
Will update character sheet into OP now, but you may still revise them.

EDIT: Also, character names are not required. I will be refering to you by your Bay12 name.

[Pavellius]

Will be starting once a fourth person joins.

Plot Twist 1: The Island
    After an hour of jubilant partying, the boat hits bad weather. Great, black clouds blanket the sky, and strike the fear of God into the hearts of the crew. The storm is ruthless and unrelenting, and when land is sighted, hasty preparations are made to beach the yacht. Too hasty, perhaps.

    When you wake up, you find yourselves on a moist beach. Ahead of you, the sand turns to rocks, the largest of which lean against the cliff face not 20 meters ahead. Behind you is the ocean, where pieces of the ship are beat against a teeth-like arrangement of rocks 40 meters out. By the beach the surf is calm, but beyond the rocks the water surges in powerful waves.

    The cliff face follows the beach as far as the eye can see (which is not to far, due to the morning fog). It is easy enough to climb, as long as you are not over-encumbered. The beach is littered with bodies and splintered wood. Only the player characters, Oscar, and Josie seem to be alive. Josie dominant arm is bloody, and bone is sticking of of her elbow. All the other characters have minor, but not inhibiting injuries.

The game has changed. This is now a matter of life and death. You must work together to survive.

The player list is still open. Joining characters will "wake up" as one of the bodies.

"Josie!  Holy crap Josie!  How you doing?"
Chana anxiously hovers over Josie who looks a bit confused.  Well admittedly Josie usually looks confused but Josie looks maybe a little more confused then usual.  But then her eyes focus on Chana.
"Hey, how you doin'?"
Chana decides not to punch her friend but instead just rolls her eyes in relief.
"I dont know, Josie.  I'm getting 'nam flashbacks and everything now.  I think... I think we better get you off the beach, bud.  Can you kinda... put your arm on your stomach and I'll drag you?"
Not really sure what she's doing, Chana grabs Josie's shoulders and starts dragging her towards the rocks.

Surrounded by a bunch of broken gadgets, and only a torn Hoodie in his possession that he can actually use, Passo was in disbelief. "No... this can't be real..."

What followed was a shout in frustration, something that could attract the attention of anyone awake nearby. "I can't keep screaming. I must go find Oscar and discuss plans. He must have brought something we could both use. God..."

Passo begins shouting Oscar's name for the next 10 minutes. He was hoping Oscar would still be alive. And he was right; Oscar already recovered from the crash, and is leaning next to a palm tree, acting as jovial as ever. It's also obvious the guy had bruises and an aching body.

"Oscar! Boy am I glad to see you!"

"I could say the same really, El Passo."

Both awkwardly laugh.

"So... Oscar, what do we do now? We're... I'd hate to say it, but... stranded in the middle of nowhere."

"Good God Passo, are you still saying obvious shit like that? I can see with my own two eyes, you idiot."

"Ahahaha... sorry." Passo awkwardly replies.

"First, we'd need to get some firewood, or maybe prepare a bushfire. I fortunately brought a knife - this should be useful in starting a massive fire. Second, once we find some boat or something across the horizon, we'll need to burn the forest just enough on time. If we don't see a boat, we need to pile up on some broken logs and stones and call for SOS. Lastly, we must survive. Find whoever is around; they can help us. We need to stick together. But god my back hurts."

"I-I'll do it myself, Oscar. Don't stress yourself out right now."

"Thanks for the concern, I'll take just that. But seriously Passo, you should have figured out the plan on your own. It's gods-fucking obvious."

"Uhh... yeah."

[Pavellius]

"Josie!  Holy crap Josie!  How you doing?"
Chana anxiously hovers over Josie who looks a bit confused.  Well admittedly Josie usually looks confused but Josie looks maybe a little more confused then usual.  But then her eyes focus on Chana.

Not really sure what she's doing, Chana grabs Josie's shoulders and starts dragging her towards the rocks.

Josie is now resting against one of the larger rocks.
You sit down next to her, and notice how fast the tide is rising.

Surrounded by a bunch of broken gadgets, and only a torn Hoodie in his possession that he can actually use, Passo was in disbelief. "No... this can't be real..."

You and Playergamer first check the usability of the driftwood. Sadly, it is too wet to be used.
You venture into the fog to look for dried underbrush, and come across a body of a large bird being picked over by scavenger animals. The two of them look like large black crabs with oversized pinchers, and they flee into the ocean at your approach.

All players are aware of other players actions, as long as they are within sight.

[mainiac]

"Guys, I think we need to find a way past this cliff.  I'll head that way and you head the other, looking for a way up."
Josie heads off to the south.

[Playergamer]

Look for Ray.

[Pavellius]

"Guys, I think we need to find a way past this cliff.  I'll head that way and you head the other, looking for a way up."
Josie heads off to the south.

The cliff can be climbed at any point, as long as you are not over-encumbered. You find no place where it is significantly easier to climb up the cliff.
You come across the body of the bird again, with the same two pterodactyls picking at it. This time, they do not run away.

Look for Ray.

You find Ray a ways off, about to be picked up by the approaching tide. He is clearly dead, for his head has been partially picked apart.
