:shrug:

Don't worry, I won't hold it against you, Mr. Grylls Carlson


Sounds good. Profiles can be tweaked all the way up to the submission deadline. That's when I'll go round them up.


Okeedokee.

That makes 29, people! Since I said I'd cap it at 30, and indeed any more than that would be CRAZY then that leaves room for 1 more person.

Reserved please?

As a semi-interesting aside: I know nobody was really curious, but I actually am living a mere 20km from the town of Hairy Hill, Alberta. And ironically, though a few 'hills' do exist here, it's 99% bare, flat prairie. The name always cracks me up.

Name: Sara Thompson
Age: 40
Physical description: 5'6'', 120 lbs, Dark Brown Hair, she's pretty, but not gorgeous...
Clothing: Jeans and several long sleeve tee-shirts, including her favorite grey one, also a black bandanna that she always wears...
Occupation: Sara is a professor of history at a small liberal arts college back east...
Hobbies: Besides camping, Sara likes reading and playing cards.
Possessions: Deck of cards, flask of cherry-flavored vodka, a copy of Herodotus' Histories, and her favorite 14 carat gold ball-point pen...
Personality: Sara is a downright misanthrope. She doesn't like the company of others, and is perfectly happy by herself, looking down on others, their weaknesses, their ignorance, and their hypocrisies. Yet, in conversation she is not sarcastic, but she will state her opinion straight, with no regard for other people's feelings. She likes having fun, but she doesn't outwardly show it. The most open and interactive you'll see her is when she's playing cards, which allows her to outwit her fellow man and exercise her mental skills.
History: Although she was always a negative person, Sara's personality really took a turn for the worse when her husband was killed by a drunk driver. After that she dedicated herself to her studies, and shut out almost everyone in her life. After his death, she bought a dog, which died a week ago, so to blow off some steam she decided to go camping. She's well respected in her field, but has almost no friends in Academia.

Possessions: iPod, backpack, Axe body spray, keys to car/home/etc., Inuit knife (Bought from tourist store), Basketball.
Personality: Can be described as "happy-go-lucky". Definitely not a lucid person (not that he is dumb, but is a bit too optimistic). While being optimistic, Marty has a short temper and takes many things as personal that weren't intended to be personal. Very competitive. He can be ambiguous. Assertive. Likes to tease others in a friendly way, but often fails to realize when it starts to get annoying.
History: Born and raised in Cleveland, took up basketball on the streets with his friends. Coming from a rough school, he somehow managed to keep a positive outlook on life. When Marty's mother and father got in a dispute, Marty moved with his mom to his grandmother and grandfather's house in Greenville, South Carolina. He played basketball for the highschool team and got a scholarship to play basketball for another southern college. He generally takes it easy. He has come to Canada for a vacation with some friends.

Personality: Is often grumpy and wallows in self pity. He is not a great team member, preferring to work alone. Can get emotional under pressure.
History: His hippie parents ruined Sunshine's life by naming him. In an attempt to distance himself from their ways Sunshine decided to be as anti-hippie as possible - wearing dark clothes, avoiding happiness and regularly torching small plant life. He never made any friends because his parents moved around all the time in their hippie camper van and this added to Sunshine's angst. In order to try and persuade him to become a Hippie his parents brought him to the camp ground.

Name: Phonincible “Phoney” Bone

Age: 36
Physical description: 5’6”, 145 lbs. Yeah, yeah, he’s short, you don’t need to remind him, jerk. Eyes are brown, hair is black, but he appears to be balding. Has a unibrow.
Clothing: He wears a black shirt with a large gold star on the chest, khakis, some hiking boots, sunglasses, and a “casual” fedora.
Occupation: He runs a used car dealership, and is an-around “legitimate” businessman. Don’t you dare insinuate that the money he makes is dirty!
Hobbies: He likes counting his money, watching his money grow, straightening his money to get all the crinkles out, smoking fine Cuban cigars, and betting on horse races.

Possessions: A shovel, a map of the campground, some keys, and a wallet full of…you guessed it, money!
Personality: Phoney’s greedy, always looking to make a quick buck. No scam is beneath him, and no stray or fallen penny is outside of his grasp. He can be quite impatient and short-tempered when things don’t seem to go as planned, and downright cowardly when they go wrong. Though appearing to be largely self-centered, he does genuinely care about his two cousins, and many of his actions are rooted in their welfare.
History: Phoney started life in poverty, and often found himself caring for his two younger cousins, known as Fone and Smiley. He had to work hard in order to keep them fed and sheltered, and soon discovered that honest or legal means were not the most efficient ways to go about it, so thievery, scams, and cons were never below him. Nevertheless, he was able to eventually form his own business, but he’s never quite abandoned his scheming ways. They’ve caught up to him, though, and the government has since seized several of his assets, and many less than pleased individuals he’s scammed have since run him out of town. Thankfully, Phoney was prepared, and hid a stash of money here in Hairy Hills. He’s merely here to get it and be on his way. He was never one for the great outdoors, after all. Now…if only he could remember just where it was buried…

Mr.E

No clue

Cut it out! People will start to get suspicious!

Name: Herr Doktor Otto Willheimer Starkhelm von Hamster-lockern
Age: 51
Physical description: Relatively tall, and of rather intimidating appearance. Brown hair (although recently transmuting to grey at a rather alarming rate) and piercing blue eyes.
Clothing: Tends to wear a black leather trench-coat reminiscent of those of "The Matrix" fame.
Occupation: Was once a brilliant psychologist, now terrifies university students for a living.
Hobbies: Otto retains an intense fascination for people he meets; or more specifically, for the squishy organs nestled inside the skulls of the people he meets. Otto has a penchant for board games, a predisposition towards psychoactive drugs and a fondness for candlelit dinners and long walks along the beach.
Possessions: A thick journal, bound in soft leather. A number of expensive fountain pens. His latest book upon the nature of the human mind. Several strange and improbably-colored mushroom species, carefully concealed.
Personality: Otto has astonishing cognitive abilities, and an unsurpassed talent for deduction. He tends to be somewhat indecipherable to those around him, often frightening and fascinating his students with prolonged stares, scathing sarcasm, intense and unrelenting lectures and a tendency towards distraction. He is somewhat irritable and blunt, but is ultimately good-natured.
History: Otto was born ein Berliner, and lived in the city up until the time came to attend university. As a child he was somewhat detached from advlts and fellow children, preferring his own intellectual pursuits and company. As a result of this somewhat lonely and trouble childhood Otto developed an unhealthy interest in illicit and mind-altering substance, which coincided with his developing fascination with the human mind. After habitual abuse of various substances throughout his later high-school years Otto graduated regardless with an excellent score, and went on to study at a variety of top English and American universities, obtaining a PhD in the field of psychology. After an extended and influential (but not pain-free) career punctuated with ongoing experimentations into psychedelic and hallucinogenic drugs, Otto decided to settle down and accepted a position lecturing at a university. His choice of Hairy Hills as a campground for relaxation and "meditation" will perhaps prove, however, to be not as relaxing as he has anticipated.

Ahhh, last spot...

I'm so tempted to take it...so so tempted. Part of me wants to...the rest of me doesn't.

I better stay out of this one for fear of fading interest. I'd rather be left out than dead weight.

Name: Jason
Age: Unknown
Physical description: 5'6'', 190 lbs fairly beef cake
Clothing: Jeans and several long sleeve tee-shirts, and an old hockey goalie mask. You know,one of those white ones.
Occupation: Born killer, nah he is actually a salesman.
Hobbies: Besides killing teenagers while they camp... I mean he likes to sell things to people with his killer info commercials. He really loves his job.
Possessions: Machete, rope, knife, hammer, a gun, beer, matches and a book.
Personality: Jason is down right insane, almost insane enough to be a killer. He loves to confuse people into paradoxes and will do anything for a laugh, yet his job which he loves is no laughing matter to him. Which is why he shows such motivation and determination when he seeks up on his unlikely victims and gives them the deal of their life. And that's why he is always so positive.
History: Very is little is know about Jason. He tends to keep his pass to himself. Which has made many authorities suspicions of him. However all of their cases has always come up empty handed, well not exactly. Many or should I say all of the cops do walk away with a wonderful timeshare of a mexican hotel for only 6 easy payments of $66.69.

:laugh: You're a brave man. I give you until day 5, as an absolute maximum.
