BEFORE RJ

RJ's grandfather, Jacob Alysses Mathews, was born on January 2, 1928, in California. After Jacob graduated from college he decided to become a singer since he was an excellent vocalist. During his tours he fell in love with one of his fans, Mary Oscar O'Connor. On August 4, 1950, they got married and had a son Ronald, RJ's father, five years later. On 1975 Ronald joined the navy and married Annie Marks.

HIS EARLY TO NOW LIFE
RJ was born into a military family at Tripler Hospital in Hawaii, because his dad, Ronald Jacob, was in the military RJ got to move to different places. He has been around the world from Japan to the Phillippines.

He also started writing and publishing books, though not popular he has a few followers who love his books. Currently he is exploring the world while going onto an online college.

RJ's LIFE ALONE
RJ got into writing by reading books that were written by the famous author Stephen King. After graduating from High School, RJ decided to go onto an online college. He thought that going to a regular one would be too much work, he wanted to explore the world and write his books. His first book: Not here, was not a big success but has been praised by critics and readers.

A Writer's Paradise?

RJ got onto the island simply by flying, what was thought to be a trip to an island resort soon turned into a nightmare. (This is just a brief summary, I'll put more later on)


Getting On the Plane
*A line from RJ's next book: Homecomer
RP Style

Then she knew* the clicking of the laptop computer stopped. RJ looked up at the monitor in front of him. 35 minutes left, he thought. 35. The number of minutes left he would have to think that he was going to a resort on some distant island. He typed faster, almost six pages into the fifth chapter of his newest book, Homecomer. He thought that going to an island resort would be good for his stress, having to write a new book and all. He continued typing, acting as if it was just him, the laptop, and the chair all in a dark place.

that Michael had been visiting just to keep her unsuspicious. He was planning this all out, as if it were a video game, putting everything in place and testing it, then playing it.
"Oh god, no!" she shouted inside the room.
She had to unlock that door, that wretched door. She walked up to it and kicked it, it didn't budge. She cursed.
"What the he--" she was interrupted by a doorbell.
NO! she thought, someone was waiting at the door. She looked out her window, it was Melissa. She pounded on the drawer next to where she was standing.

RJ's Theme Song

Flow- Re:member (yes it's spelt that way), Japanese/Eng. Lyrics


Kakinarase sonzai wo
Koko ni iru to...
Arata na tabi ga ima hajimaru

Kawariyuku kisetsu no naka wo
Ikinuku tabi ni bokura
Chie to tsuyosa wo te ni ireta kedo
(Just looks like a survival game)
Nagareteku jikan no naka ni
Okizari ni shita omoi wo
Wasureta koto sura wasurete ita

Kuzure kaketa toki kodoku wo shitte
Deaeta bokura hitori ja nai

Sarakedase kanjou wo
Banjou no omoi wo
Namidame ga unmei wo kaete yuku
Yami ni uchi narase kodou wo
Kitto aeru yo
Onaji itami no hata no moto de

Utsuri yuku kioku no naka de
Kawaranai taisetsu na mono wo
Mitsukedasou to shite samayotte ita

Boukyaku no hate de deaeta no wa
Wazuka demo tashika na nukumori

Sarakedase kanjou wo
Banjou no omoi wo
Namidame ga unmei wo kaete yuku
Yami ni uchi narase kodou wo
Kitto aeru yo
Onaji itami no hata no moto de

Sarake dase kanjou wo
Banjou no omoi wo
Namidame ga unmei wo kaete yuku
Yami ni uchi narase kodou wo
Kitto aeru yo

Kaki narase sonzai wo
Koko ni iru to...
Hibike ano akatsuki no sora ni


Strum the tune of your existance
And sing that you’re here
A new journey is beginning now

Each of the ever-changing seasons
We live through
Gives us wisdom and strength
(Just looks like a survival game)
But when it comes to the love we left behind
In the flow of time
We’ve even forgotten how to forget about it

When I began to crumble I learned what loneliness was
And then we met, we’re not alone

Lay your feelings bare
Along with the huge love nyou feel
The tears you cry will change your destiny
Let your heartbeat echo through the dark
We’re sure to meet
At the flag of that same pain

I wandered, trying to find
Something precious that wouldn’t change
Amid my ever-changing memories

Meeting you at the edge of oblivion
Gave me a small but sure warmth

Lay your feelings bare
Along with the huge love nyou feel
The tears you cry will change your destiny
Let your heartbeat echo through the dark
We’re sure to meet
At the flag of that same pain

Lay your feelings bare
Along with the huge love nyou feel
The tears you cry will change your destiny
Let your heartbeat echo through the dark
We’re sure to meet

Strum the tune of your existance
And sing that you’re here
Let it ring out into the red moonlit sky

Why did I decide a Gecko?


Because I love reptiles, especially Geckos! When a I was a kid I remember at my child hood home that there were geckos in the garden and I remember trying to catch them. And I haven't seen many geckos in IoDM, since my character loves geckos I suppose he'll like being turned into one RIGHT? Guess he'll go crazy about it or something...

What Gecko did I decide on???

There's a GECKO on the island eek ! The rules say that you can't have the EXACT species, so that means I can't choose a WEB FOOTED GECKO! right? Well, I decided the Northland green gecko.

Why would the labs pick me?

Although RJ is pretty much someone who feels like that they can handle situations like these, he's way far off. Not only are the steps of the changes going to be intense for him, he isn't sure if he wants to be a gecko confused . He may even develop a more seriousness to himself, something he doesn't like to be.

I like it, though the gecko was already taken by Natsumi.
You should also add more to his history. Having such a short one makes him no as interesting, but if you could describe some of the place's he's been too and what he's seen that would make it a lot better.

I got your Pm and leaving you a comment/critique.

Overall your character is pretty good. Here are some things I think could help your character's profile:

~*~ I noticed the nickname Sparky but there doesn't seem to be an explanation to why someone would call RJ that. Did he get shocked as a kid by something? You have to add some back story to that nickname in order for people to get it.

~*~ For your likes/dislikes add more to it. If you say Pretty Old Music, that's really broad. Does he like Fifties music? Twenties? I noticed you named two bands from the sixties, so why not say that? Along that note, does RJ like any other bands from that era? Try to go into more detail there. Music is a very good way to identify a person from others and someone's taste in music reflects their personality.

~*~ For your appearance add more to it. Is RJ dark skinned? Light? What's his build? Does he have any scars? Any unusual birthmarks? Your avi is a good start for a description--and I know you're still under construction there but, make him more life like. Does he wear a specific watch? Is there a old tan mark somewhere?

~*~ Okay, your personality is confusing--to me anyway. You put two conflicting personalities. One being energetic and the other being quiet. Are all quiet people energetic? Yes, but to some extent. Maybe, instead of being quiet RJ can be shy? It would make more sense if he was so shy it gave the impression that he was quiet but once around people who he is comfortable with his entire attitude changes and comes off as an energetic guy? Everyone acts differently around everyone else. How does RJ act around strangers? Friends? Family, enemies etc.

~*~ Okay history time! Who are Rj's parents? Where was he born? Any siblings? What got him into writing? When was his first book published? What got him into old bands? What got him into Japanese music? When you go into someone's history explain--even briefly--those important events that shaped them.

Over all, what I'm trying to say is add more detail and go more in deepth with your character. Hope I didn't sound harsh. ^^;;

As Orianna said, there's already a gecko on the island, so unless you cna find a really interesting variety, you're going to have to pick something else. I'm also going to have to agree with what she said about your history.

Also, people generarlly arn't interested in why you picked the creature. what they want to know is why the labs would pick it for you.

finally, the same thing I say to everyone, add random info. Anything that pops into your head. Think about your charachter whenever you get a chance and think of random facts about them. If you need ideas feel free to take from my topic. I just find that the more bits of random info you have for your charachter, themore realistic and belivable it makes them.
