Name: Your character’s full name and any nicknames or aliases. Nothing too silly or fantastical, please; staff may request changes, and anything out of the norm should be discussed and justified in the biography section.
Age: Your character’s age. As the characters are students of the University of Cascadia, we expect the age of the characters can vary much more than a standard version of SOTF. However, it’s advised that one avoid extremes, such as a nonagenarian who might not be inclined to travel to a two-week retreat north of the arctic circle. Students below the age of majority must have signed parental consent to go on the excursion.
Gender: Male, female, or other by default. Pronouns go here! This is documented by the researchers on the basis of self-identification; anatomical particulars would only end up in the autopsy reports.
Field of Study: The program that your character is pursuing at the University of Cascadia. U of C is a large, publicly funded research University and has a very wide variety of programs and avenues of study. It also has a reputation for being very generous with grants, and is considered quite accessible regardless of financial status.
Physical Description: Describe, in detail, what your character looks like. Please be as descriptive as possible, such that anyone reading your profile can picture your character vividly. Make sure to include height, weight, hair and eye colors, a facial description, and the outfit your character was wearing when they left for the retreat. Consider that the island’s location is known to the characters, and that they would be encouraged to dress accordingly.
