It was nice seeing everyone all gussied up. Made Xavier feel like he was a part of something. He had actual friends here. Not that the ones back at home didn’t count but there was no choice but to make real connections on this island. Man, why was he so emotional? What was in these drinks? He had left his blazer behind so that he could try to comfortably move around in this costume. Admittedly, he loved it.  Who didn’t like dinosaurs? And as he swayed in the background, watching the others hang, he began feeling a little warm. “Blame it on the Ah ah ah ah alcohol…” He danced in place; nursing his drink inside his costume. “This is fine. I love everyone.”

conor wasn’t feeling too up to a party after the recent island events, but truth be told he hadn’t enjoyed them for many years now. they brought back memories and emotions he wished more than anything he could forget, but some past mistakes he could never fix. knowing he needed to focus more on the present and future, he knew he owed one person an apology now that his head was clearer. maybe he’d overreacted a little... finding a specific face with all the dinosaur costumes was somewhat of a challenge but conor eventually found who he was looking for. ❝ hey man, do you mind if we talk for a minute ?? i just need to say something real quick and then i can fuck off if you want. ❞

Astrid had never had more than one glass of wine in one go. But she wanted to have fun, and then she was hot, and then she was upset, and before she knew it she had five glasses. And for the first time in a few days, Astrid felt great. Maybe she was a little wobbly, and maybe she wasn’t making very much sense, but she was in a dino costume having fun, and maybe that was all that Astrid needed. Laying on one of the loungers, she made her best sexy pose (which was not easy in a dinosaur costume she was finding) before saying, “Paint me like one of your french raptors,” before dissolving into a fit of giggles.

stumbling onto such a sight was far from what conor expected on this little boat party, still, he had to admit it was pretty funny and her laughter was contagious. ❝ yeah, no, not happening, sorry. ❞ knowing her as well as he did, her state concerned him, but as long as he was around conor would keep an eye on her. maybe a night of drunkenness would help her relax. ❝ well, you’re shitfaced... having fun there ?? ❞ he inquired, doing his best to pat her head with his tiny t-rex arms.

Clearing things up with Astrid was important to him and he was glad he got the chance. She was definitely better than him in that aspect. He stared at the dinosaur costume and truth be told, blanked out a bit. He had learned so much about himself. The fact that he was open to finding love on the island scared him. Xavier folded the costume and stuck it under his arm so he could take a walk. Maybe it would help him. When he noticed Conor in the distance, he wondered if he should go in a different direction. He knew how protective the other was when it came to Astrid and frankly, Xavier wouldn’t be surprised if Conor wanted to kill him right now. But doing that wouldn’t help the situation and he chose to approach the cousin. “Hey…do you…do you have a minute?” 

this whole thing was a bit of a joke in conor’s opinion, did people really expect to find love out here ?? on a reality show of all places ?? he didn’t have a lot of faith in his own search for an array of reasons but his cousin ?? she deserved to find someone as amazing as her, nothing less. everyone knew heartbreak was the unfortunate effect of it, but seeing astrid upset had never sat well with him, especially when others caused it. so, he’d distanced himself from the others until he calmed down, not wanting to snap at anyone who didn’t deserve it. spotting xavier approaching he looked around for a way out before he got too close, and then against his better judgment he went to meet him. before he could stop himself, conor threw a punch hitting the comic square in the eye. ❝ that’s for making her cry. ❞ he stated, shaking his hand out with a small wince. his knuckles would surely bruise later but he didn’t care about that right now. ❝ i don’t have anything to say to you and i’m not the zhang you should be explaining yourself to. it’s not my feelings you played with. ❞

CHARACTER 20: THE REBEL

NAME: Conor Zhang AGE | DOB: 33 | June 25, 1988 PRONOUNS: He/Him OCCUPATION: Local Musician (Options: tattoo artist, auto mechanic, local musician, or bouncer) FACE CLAIM: Lewis Tan +PERSONALITY: Loyal, Creative, Tenacious -PERSONALITY: Pessimistic, Suspicious, Rebellious

SKELETON:

Always been labeled a rebel child, rebel teen, etc. Wears the label with pride

Acquired a criminal record but has recently worked to turn things around

Signed up for Ship-Wrecked before reading the contingency about finding love in order to get off of the island

ENDGAME: THE COMIC

TIDBITS: 

very protective of his family, esp his cousin astrid and aunt mimi. they’re his fav, it is law.

speaking of them, he was always closer to them than his own parents/siblings, due to him being a black sheep problem child, and them being less judging and more loving.

his father is a brain surgeon and his mother is a successful lawyer, so his interests in music and more creative things were never well accepted at home.

music has always been his outlet, bands like rage and just a variety of punk rock music gave him a release from the box his parents tried to place him in. 

he was expected to follow the zhang tradition of practicing medicine but never felt it.

most of his teen years - early 20s were spent in trouble with the law: drugs, theft, vandalism, assault, etc. but his mother’s legal influence kept him out of too much trouble.

that was until he drove home under the influence from a party one night with his fiancée. they were in an accident and she ended up dying from her injuries. he has a loooot of guilt over it.

he spent almost 6 years in jail for that, and has since tried his best to “grow up” and stay out of trouble.

still a rebel at heart.

he drums in a band called the split dead, that is basically tøp cuz i’m original and josh on drums is amazing ok. they’re fairly known but not like worldwide mega stars.

however, they were once on tour with val. 

which speaking of, he may or may not have been involved in her little scandal. it’s complicated.

due to his past, he isn’t very big on drinking or anything that could impair him anymore.

forever huffy about the love requirement, he’s very afraid of loving again and doesn’t feel he deserves it ok.

stats can be found tba if you’re interested in them.

i’ll probably add more as i think of it.

“Juniper, you life saver.” Luna smiled as she added the finishing touches to her cosplay. Admittedly, it was the easiest she could think of especially considering where their current location was. It was also one people like Oliver probably expected from Luna since they’ve talked about it. Still, it proved to be a bit difficult. No red wig, no ivy, no makeup. She’d have to really sell the actually design to prove that she in fact, can make costumes out of a handful of materials. Palm leaves weren’t difficult to work with and she had spent the last couple of days getting perfectly shaped leaves for her design. While she enjoyed the running and organizing of cons, Luna loved dressing up the most. Seeing how much little girls loved seeing themselves in her made her the happiest. Secretly, she hoped she didn’t look too foolish as she approached the others decked out in her poison ivy cosplay. She cleared her throat, a proud smile pulling at her lips and flipped her hair. “Pamela Isley, here.  I am the new Eve. The mother of the men of tomorrow…” She turned slowly to show off her digs. “Aaannd this is my talent. I make cosplays back at home and I decided Poison Ivy was the easiest to show off for this challenge!” 

@shipwrecked-startnconfess​

the variety of talents among the castmates left conor feeling a little lacking, the only thing he was any good at was music and well, getting in trouble, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t appreciate them. especially ones like this that left beautiful women looking like they stepped out of a comic. conor could see what she was going for, even without some of the finer details, the core was still there. ❝ wow, that’s amazing, ❞ he commented. yes, she was very nice to look at but the fact she was able to make that with what little they had was maybe even more impressive. he could barely fix a hole in his clothes back home. ❝ i guess we know who to come to if the crew decides to steal our clothes one of these days, ❞ he chuckled.

thomas-meier​

Thomas finally came up with a talent he could show off. After losing the scavenger hunt, he wanted something for his efforts on the island. He was actually quite annoyed that he lost. It was more than his competitive nature. He was sick of sleeping on the ground. It was doing absolutely nothing for his back. A permanent bed would be ideal, but soap, lip balm, and granola bars would have to do for now. 

“Okay, I’m finally ready to show off. I can’t skate here on sand. But I’m pretty sure I can still shoot pretty well.” He put a coconut on the ground and held a stick that was close enough to the shape of a hockey stick. “I’m going to hit that tree trunk,” he said, pointing at one that was at least 5 meters away. He aimed and hit the trunk exactly where he wanted to. With the force, he heard the coconut crack. Thomas did the best celly he could, and said, “That’s why I was a first round draft pick.”

conor hadn’t made his rounds to meet many of his fellow castmates thus far, still miffed about the requirements for the show. but there were a few more famous faces he did recognize without introduction, the former hockey player being one of those. so, when it came to thomas’ turn, he watched with genuine interest. ❝ now that is an impressive skill. ❞ he mused, with a soft clap. conor played a bit of hockey in his younger days but his skills had been nowhere close to that. that looked hard enough with a normal stick, much less a literal one. ❝ d’you think you could hit the coconuts up in tree too ?? that would be a much easier way to get them down than climbing the damn things. ❞

Astrid has spent most of the day making a “dance partner” out of palm branches. One that would be the right height that she could easily get her point across. She hadn’t taken ballroom lessons since she was five years old to not be able to do it by herself. “Attention everyone,” Astrid said, dragging her palm-tree dance partner with her, “This is Palm-mer, he is going to be my dance partner tonight,” she said, chuckling at her pun, “So if anyone has any ballroom dances they would like to see, now is your time to request them. Unfortunately due to palm tree constraints the argentine tango and the rumba are both out though.” 

never one to follow instructions well, conor was less than pleased about the extra tasks put before them. he didn’t mind the work but he didn’t like being told what to do, like the little requirement to get off this island. so, seeing his cousin out dork herself was a nice distraction from his brooding. her ‘dance partner’ was actually rather impressive, and left conor grateful she hadn’t dragged him into helping her. he couldn’t dance to save his life so he would’ve looked especially foolish next to someone with her skill. ❝ wait, isn’t the roomba a robot vacuum ?? i’m confused. ❞ he jested from the crowd.
