After plotting, there will be a sixth adventurer that I'll also play. Charles' grandson will come too. But he's a very spoiled rich boy and won't be much help to you. XD

Nationality: American
Occupation: Journalist
Background before RP: Jordan Wilder is a journalist in her hometown located in Ohio. Her older brother Harrison is the editor of the newspaper she works at. Her main duties at the newspaper is to be the advice columnist because it is viewed as a "woman's job". Although Jordan likes to write, she is bored of her job because she feels she just gives the same advice over and over again. Her real passion is learning and writing about history. Sometimes Jordan will get assignments that no one else wants or has time for. Her favorite assignment was the article she wrote about the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City when they had a new historical exhibit. Jordan loves learning about ancient cultures would love to write about them but has been told no one has interest in the past because it is over. All readers care about is the present and future. She's also been told she should be thankful she has a job at the newspaper since most women her age are married and have children. Her mother and aunts thinking she is risking becoming an old maid since she is 27 and has no husband.

The following are NPCs that we'll use to start the adventure.

NPCs:

Charles Benjamin Vanderbilt, III: Charles Vanderbilt comes from old money. The Vanderbilts have been successful business people since Charles' grandfather immigrated to the United States from England to start a textile factory. Over time the Vanderbilt family has expanded their businesses from factories to include a railroad line and many other profitable businesses.

Charles is a widower with one son, Charles Benjamin Vanderbilt IV, who controls the day to day operations of Vanderbilt Industries. Through his son, Charles has two grandchildren. A granddaughter named Lauren, who recently married an heir to a steel company. He also has a grandson but he's not as proud of him. Since his grandson acts like an entitled rich boy and Charles decided to punish him by making him take part in the journey.

Charles has more money then he could ever dream of spending and since retiring from the daily functions of his businesses, he has spent a great deal of money collecting rare and priceless objects from around the world. His mansion in New York City is filled with treasures from ancients cultures that could rival the collections of the world's greatest museums and he's always looking for more.

Albert Napier: Albert Napier is Charles Vanderbilt's long time butler and confidant.

Gender: Female

Occupation: Archaeologist/Lecturer
Background before RP: Ava is an archaeologist working for one of the Universities in London. She is often stuck with boring field work, supervising and teaching students. She has always wanted to specialise in myths and legends, exploring uninhabited islands in search of artifacts and places that have only ever been told in stories. She's never been able to gather funding to go on an expedition, though she is quite well known for a couple of books she's published researching the truth behind the legends. Ava's parents live in a coastal town in the UK, she rarely gets to visit them anymore since landing her job at the University. She's a bit of a workaholic and so, is not currently dating anyone.

Ava looks good to me @AhZombies. =)

I would think that Ava has an older colleague that recommended her to Charles for the trip. If that sounds good to you.

Name: Jonathan "Jack" Olson, Junior
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Appearance (pictures welcome):

Image

Jack has short brown hair and brown eyes. He is about 5'11.

Nationality: American
Occupation: Doctor
Background before RP: Jack Olson is a doctor, like his father Dr. Johnathan Olson, Sr. Unlike his father though, Jack isn't a doctor for the money. He truly believes in helping people, especially those who cannot afford proper medical care. While his father's clients are the rich of New York City, like Mister Charles Vanderbilt, once Jack earned his medical license he left New York City for a quieter country life in Kansas. A move his father looked down upon. He lives in a small farming community where he is the only doctor and many of his clients pay him in food and other goods. He doesn't mind that he isn't making a lot of money though. He wanted to be a doctor to help people. However, that doesn't always pay the bills and his father suggested he come back to New York and meet with Mister Vanderbilt.

His father has basically disowned him and plans to give everything to his elder sister, Lauren. Lauren, who has a business mind and married a heir to a major steel company.

Name: Paula Ribeiro
Age: 28 years old
Gender: Female
Appearance: View picture. When at work, always dressed in jeans, boots and a camouflage T-shirt
Nationality: Brazilian
Occupation: Translator (Portuguese, Spanish and some local dialects)
Background before RP: Paula was born in Brazil to a middle class family, and was always encouraged to get a good education, when other girls her age and in the area where she lived were being encouraged to marry well. Listening to her parents paid off, and Paula made sure to study as much as she possibly could, foregoing partying and other fun activities to sit at home with her nose stuck in a book. When she graduated high school, the girl went to college for International Relations, but ended up deciding to stay where she was and work around South America as a translator and unofficial guide for groups who come to the region either to study or to see a different culture.
