Character being adapted: Adeloise Wagner (+ Companions: Adrien, Stella)
Link to original character application: [LINK]

Name: "Addie", No surname ( + Companions: Adrien, Stella )
Age: 12
Gender: Female
Profession: Thief, Scavenger


Height: 4'7ft
Build: Petite and a little on the skinny side, doesn't look well fed but she seems to have good bone build to make up for the lack of fat in her little body.
Notable Features: She looks like every other kid on the street but she always seems to have some scratches on her face covered in adhesive bandages. She looks completely harmless and when she grins, she has a missing tooth. Her little fingers are each wrapped in thin cloth, probably due to cuts. She's really tiny — good for crawling into spaces adults can't get to. Perfect for thieving.

What would other characters know about you? + Extra Information for Companions

No one really knows the kid around Haven being a rather fresh face. Addie doesn't appear to be with anyone, which is very strange considering she looks too young to be on her own. She seems the optimistic one though, despite the setting. Whenever asked, she says she came to the settlement with her older sister who was busy with things at the moment. What people don't know about this kid is that she's a thief — part of a still unidentified group of bandits. Despite being only 12, Addie is rather adept at her job at both stealing and going undercover.

Her team is comprised of her friends Adrien (22yo) and Stella (17yo) both of whom she met when she was 10--two years after the raid that separated her from her family. The two other figures have been spotted around Haven but never together.

Adrien and Stella have been part of the group for longer than Addie has. Raised in poverty in the badlands, both were forced to fend for themselves at early ages. Stella started stealing when she was 8. Adrien later recruits her and be her partner when she was 11 after they met. Adrien on the other hand, is actually a high profile criminal, wanted for multiple accounts of murder, assault, and various other crimes--the reason why he doesn't reveal himself to the public. He's good at hiding though, and having two unseeming accomplices makes it easier for him to move around.

Character being adapted: Amelia "Lili" Jamston
Link to original character application: [link]

Name: Is known by Lee (or Li), but real name is Amelia Jamston.
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Profession: Design Engineering, mostly of fabrics.

Height: 5'3
Build: Due to not fighting much (she leans on her brother to protect her) she is thin but weak. She'd still rather use words in place of combat.
Notable Features: Slight burn mark under her right thumb, birthmark on knee (shape of a C)

What would other characters know about you?
Lee is first and foremost known for her sense of style. Most of her clothes are showy (like her personality tends to be), but they do have their upsides - if you can find her the materials, she will try to construct something akin to an armor fashion show. She is also known for her very appearance-forward perspective, and will risk everything for a piece of makeup she can use, whether it be lipstick in payment for supplies or a palette of eyeshadows for a flashy but warm dress. The makeup helps to hide the fact that even though she looks flamboyant on the outside, her fear of never being able to keep her brother always terrifies her. And it shows.
As an aside, she is lesser-known as the "Pyro's Sister", referring to Torch, the fire expert. Lee will readily gossip at length about each aspect of her past, except for before the cave-in and the escape from the Fire Eaters, as she understands that being a former member of their group would cause much trouble for her brother and her. Finally, she is known for her benevolent nature - wanting to help, and choosing the most peaceful method of dealing with problems.

Character being adapted: Wesley "Wess" Wendigo
Link to original character application: link

Name: Wess, no surname; Phantom
Age: 38
Gender: Male
Profession: lone traveler

Height: 6'7"
Build: Gaunt
Notable Features:
The thing people would notice about Wess is that he's always hunkered down with multiple packs and weaponry. He rarely speaks and when he does, it's muffled and scratchy due to rarely talking. He very much comes off as someone who will kill or loot you on sight, with a distant personality and a determination to stay far away from people.

What would other characters know about you?

In the town of Haven, Wess is rarely seen, but when he does come by, he tends to hand out food or extra supplies to those in need without a word and only a nod of appreciation to any thank yous uttered his way. If any offerings are given to him in turn, he will gladly accept them.

Outside of Haven, Wess is quick to point his gun or weapon at someone and scavenge their pack. Generally speaking, he tends to give them more than he takes, making a kind of forced trade. Whenever he does this, he orders the person not to turn around and look at him or lower their hands from their raised surrendered position.

He is exceptionally stealthy, which has earned him the nickname of "Haven's Phantom" or "Phantom" for short.

Character being adapted: Eroshay Rosales
Link to original character application: link

Name: Shay Nicholas
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Profession: Smuggler/Scavenger, Haven scout, and information broker

Height: 5'4"
Build: Lean
Notable Features:
Shay is rather short and tends to wear gloves, and fitted leather to protect herself. She's quick-witted and agile, faster than most people think she would be and with a silent step. She has the tendency to sneak up on people accidentally.

Due to her lack of physical prowess, Shay's approach is all stealth and no guns, but if someone were to get close enough to attack her, the spikes she has on her gloves might do the trick to back them off.

What would other characters know about you?

First and foremost, Shay is pretty much always in the presence of her partner, Theo. The two have formed a strong bond, and if you pick a fight with one of them, you pick a fight with both of them.

Beyond that, Shay is known for getting information and being particularly nosey. If you want to know about someone in Haven, you go to her, for a price.

A silent step and a decent shot with the bow, Shay isn't a front line fighter by any means, but she knows all the secret routes into and out of Haven. She's great at sticking out of earshot and sight, making her a valuable member of the community.

When not gathering information to broker, Shay tends to scout the boundary of town for possible traders or threats.

Character being adapted: Elizabeth Follett
Link to original character application: http://159.65.241.122/index.php?threads/elizabeth-follett.13098/

Name: Elizabeth (Liz) Follett
Nickname: Red
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Profession: Assassin

Height: 5 foot 7
Build: Mostly slim build that's due more to exercise than lack of food but still fairly muscular.
Notable Features: Is generally wearing a lot of dark clothing. Covers the bottom of her face with a scarf and often wears a beanie style hat to cover the top so only her eyes are visible. She has bright red hair that is almost startling against her dark clothing.

What would other characters know about you?
Liz has become a notorious assassin that allies herself with the fire-eaters. Her nickname was gained from the fact the only colour she sports is her hair; nobody knows her real name and few have seen her full face.
She shows absolutely no emotion and lacks any empathy for those who think they can just restart society exactly as it was before.
Liz is still incredibly smart and has a good memory, using both things to her advantage to be cold, calculating and easily one of the most efficient killers around.

For Contest Entries Only:
This Liz is fairly similar to how she was when she first arrived at the island but more extreme. I like to think that this is how she could have ended up had she chosen a different path.
She does have emotion here (mostly due to the lack of powers) but never shows any, choosing to ignore any guilt she would feel by the firm belief that the people she are killing are stupid and inferior.
Liz was still bullied as a child but it was much worse, her father was dead and her mother an alcoholic and it is a mixture of all of these things that fuelled her intense hate for society. When it seemed as if the world was ending she embraced it, chose to become cold as steel and get her revenge on the people she felt deserved it. She taught herself how to fight with various weapons she stole and started off killing animals for her own survival before moving on to other people, strictly those who had wronged her in the past.
Now, she has moved past that as she strongly believes that this 'new society' will be just as bad and inefficient as the last and so puts herself out for hire as an assassin for the fire-eaters, giving her both money to survive in reasonable luxury compared to most and to have an excuse to kill some of the ridiculous people believing they can just start over. Liz takes great pride in her work always ensuring its a clean kill and that she isn't recognised or caught by anybody. Whilst not working with them directly, she admires the fire-eaters disregard for society (like hers) and so tends to avoid killing them.


She only wears the scarf and hat to cover her face when in the fire eater camp as these are the only people that would recognise her hair and know she's the famous assassin (and also the only ones that really know/use her nickname) and so she wouldn't want them to know her identity. She looks fairly normal when in Haven as she is good enough at what she does to never have been seen by anyone there.

Character being adapted: Theo Defan
Link to original character application: Here
Name: Theodore Hudson
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Profession: Smuggler/Scavenger, Haven scout, and information broker
Height: 5'11"
Build: Athletic
Notable Features: Theo is almost never seen without his older brother's personal effects on him, most notably the long coat he wears. He's not as stealthy as his partner and is much better in direct combat, which allows Shay to pick off enemies while Theo has them distracted. He carries a pair of pistols, two tactical kukri machetes, a stun baton, and ocasionally a sniper rifle.
What would other characters know about you? He's almost never seen without his partner Shay somewhere nearby as the two have an extensive history and tight bond. He has a habit of mumbling to someone or something at times and gets written off as crazy as a result. Anyone who knows him however knows he's perceptive to a scary degree. He's also a dead shot with the vast majority of firearms.
