Locations: The Hub (Kitchen, dining, library) Huts (Basic living quarters) Rec Center (Pool, bar, showers) Warehouse (Supplies, locked storage) Maintenance (Water, power) Medical (Infirmary, research lab) Office (Eliza’s secured space) Beach (Fishing, shipwreck) Periphery (Electrified fence, jungle)

MBTI: ENTJ – Visionary, ruthless, always five steps ahead. Description: One of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful figures. Platinum blonde, ice-blue eyes, eerily composed. Always too clean, too unshaken. Accent: American, with a vaguely international inflection. Deliberate and precise. Famous, polarizing, untouchable. To some, she’s a genius innovator, humanity’s future. To others, a corporate tyrant, controlling society from the shadows. Love her or hate her—no one ignores her. Perspective: The island is a test—of society, of human behavior, of control. Whether it succeeds or fails, she wins. Motivation: Power through knowledge. She’s gathering data, observing patterns, shaping the future. Speech Quirks: Speaks in precise, calculated sentences. Makes jokes, largely unfunny, but her employees and sycophants laugh. Answers questions with more questions. A smile that never reaches her eyes. Example: “The real question isn’t why we’re here—it’s what you’ll do with the opportunity.”

Speech Quirks: Quotes Eliza like scripture, treating her as a visionary. Starts sentences with “Well, actually…” but is rarely right. Inserts personal anecdotes into everything, whether relevant or not. Perspective: This isn’t a disaster—it’s a test of faith. Eliza knows what she’s doing, and everyone just needs to trust her.

Speech Quirks: Blunt, hyper-logical—cuts straight to the core of things. Doesn’t waste time on pleasantries—small talk is meaningless. Speaks in absolutes: “This is fact.” “You are blind.” “They are watching.” Perspective: Authority exists to be questioned. He believed Trusk’s experiment was a social control project before they even left port. The shipwreck? Too convenient. Motivation: To expose the hidden truth, even if no one else believes him. Example: “You do not see it? This is planned. It is always planned. You are just—how do you say—blind to the pattern.”

Island – The Isolated Utopia The island was designed as a self-sustaining experiment, but it feels more like a corporate-controlled survival test. The landscape is stunning—pristine beaches, rolling hills, dense jungle—but the human-made structures are cold, sterile, and unwelcoming. Everything needed for survival is here—power, water, food, shelter—but no communication, no way to contact the outside world. The shipwreck took what little emergency equipment existed, leaving the group trapped, but in comfort. It was built to function without oversight. Now, there’s no way off. On the island, there's a kitchen and dining room, huts for living, communal showers, pool, miniatous facility, warehouse, medical lab, and Eliza's office building; there's also a bar and common space, and a jungle periphery.

Maintenance Center (Utilities & Workshop) Water filtration, electricity, and other core systems are here. Fully stocked with tools and spare parts—but some equipment is suspiciously inaccessible, locked behind coded access. Someone needs to maintain the island—and the longer people are here, the more things seem to need fixing.

The Hub (Commons & Kitchen) The heart of the settlement, where everyone eats, meets, and argues. A fully stocked industrial kitchen with communal dining tables. A small, curated library—mostly technical manuals (maintenance, jungle survival, first aid, farming), but no novels, no entertainment media. A single bulletin board used for daily notices and schedule postings—anyone can write on it, but Trusk’s people often “adjust” the messages.

Recreation Center (Pool, Bar, Showers) The only real space for unwinding, but still feels controlled. A bar stocked with alcohol—but limited, rationed. No one knows when (or if) it will be restocked. A pool that’s oddly pristine—filtered and maintained automatically, with no visible tech doing it. Showers are located here—communal, open stalls, adding to the lack of privacy. Record player and a collection of vinyl records, musical instruments, basic arts/crafts supplies, but no modern media, no screens.

Warehouse (Supplies & Rations) Rows of neatly stacked crates, all stamped with Trusk Corp. branding. Food, clothing, medical supplies—all plentiful for now. A locked, windowless section in the back—not included on inventory lists. Only Vivian has the key.

Medical Facility (Infirmary & Lab) A small but advanced infirmary, stocked with top-tier medical equipment. More than a simple clinic—some rooms look like a research lab. Trusk’s people control access to certain medical supplies. Oddly high-end scanning equipment—why was it needed for a simple social experiment?

Office (Trusk & Staff Quarters, Restricted Area) The only fortified, air-conditioned building, far sturdier than the rest. Quarters for Eliza, Vivian, and Nora. Locked at all times, only accessible to Trusk’s staff. Monitors inside track activity around the settlement, but no one outside knows what else is in there.

The Pool (Recreation Area) A large, artificial pool near the communal spaces, complete with lounge chairs and an infinity edge, and a small workout facility. It’s out of place, almost too perfect—like a staged relaxation zone. A distraction? Or just another test?

Simple, utilitarian, and uniform. Each hut has a small sink and toilet, but no showers. No locks, no personal space—only a flimsy door for the illusion of privacy. Thin walls make eavesdropping easy—no conversations are truly secret.

Huts – Small, identical sleeping quarters with a sink, toilet, and thin walls. No locks. The Hub – Communal kitchen, dining area, and meeting space. Small library with only technical manuals. Recreation Center – Pool, bar, communal showers, and limited arts, music, and craft supplies. No modern entertainment. Warehouse – Stocked with food, clothes, and medical supplies. A locked section in the back. Maintenance Center – Controls water, power, and filtration. Some systems are restricted. Office – Trusk’s private quarters, heavily secured. Only Trusk and staff can enter. Medical Facility – A well-equipped infirmary with high-end research equipment. Certain supplies are restricted. Beach – Fishing cabana with rods and nets, but no boats or means of escape. Shipwreck debris still visible. Periphery – Enclosed by an electrified fence. Gates are unlocked but can be sealed at any time. Beyond lies jungle, cliffs, and the unknown.

The Periphery (Jungle & Enclosure) The main settlement is enclosed by an electrified fence, running a perfect perimeter around the site. Large signs warn against leaving—stating that search-and-rescue operations are limited. The gates are unlocked—for now—but clearly lockable. Beyond the fence: dense jungle, cliffs, and unknown territory. The ocean wreckage is still visible from the shore, half-sunk in the shallows.

New Character: Finn Dawson – The Idealist MBTI: ENFP – Charismatic, optimistic, determined to believe in something. Description: Mid-20s, tall and lean, with an easy smile and an infectious energy. His shaggy, golden-brown hair is always messy, like he just ran his hands through it. His blue-green eyes spark with enthusiasm, even when the situation is grim. Usually seen wearing a simple white t-shirt and rolled-up cargo pants, sleeves always pushed up as if ready to get to work. Accent: American, but soft—earnest, sincere, always looking for the right words. Speech Quirks: Talks about community like it’s a cause worth dying for. Frequently starts sentences with “I mean, think about it—” Gets frustrated when people won’t work together, but hides it behind a smile. Perspective: Believes in Eliza’s vision, even now. Wants to make this work. Thinks the island could be something great, if people would just stop fighting it. Motivation: To build something lasting, prove that humanity can do better, and not let this become just another failure. Example: “I know it’s not perfect, but it could be. If we just—if we just trust each other a little.”

The Beach (Fishing Cabana, But No Boats) Pristine white sand, an artificial-seeming paradise. A small cabana stocked with fishing rods, nets, and basic gear. No boats, no surfboards, nothing seaworthy, apartment from the battered lifeboats that not longer float The wreckage of their ship still sits half-sunk offshore.

A privately held megacorporation, Trusk Holdings dominates AI, automation, media, and space tech. Every company under its umbrella feeds into Eliza Trusk’s vision of the future. Subsidiaries & Divisions: Xenon – A global social media & data-harvesting empire. Controls the narrative. Omnivault – Financial services & blockchain-based banking. Monopolizes wealth transfer.
