Name: Brian "Chert" Sanders
Age: 30
Height: 5 ft 7 in
Weight: ~180 lbs
Eyes: Blue-green, flecked with copper
Hair: Light brown, washed out by the sun
Origin: Utah, United States
Occupation: Elk biologist/Zion tour guide
Personality: Chert is a little like an onion in that if you have the gall to try and peel apart his layers, he'll make you cry. Well, that's what he'd say when asked about his own personality, anyway... He enjoys being around people, but he tends to fend off personal questions with a mixture of belligerence and humor instead of answering them seriously. He walks a fine line between optimism and pessimism, which mostly means that he cheerfully looks forward to the fact that there's always something new and interesting to complain about. Unfortunately, the whole "social graces" thing is too much work for Chert to want to master, so he makes no effort to prevent what he says from being blunt and uncompromising. His nickname comes from the fact that he has a stubborn streak a mile wide- his colleagues used to joke that he and the area were perfectly suited to each other, since even the rocks were bloody-minded (chert, a mineral prevalent in some parts of Zion, resists recrystallization, metamorphic forces, and weathering- it's so resistant to change that it's known for being an excellent preserver of fossils. Haha, geology jokes). Anyway, the name stuck. The good new is that Chert's cooled off a lot since high school, though his temper can still be pretty impressive when someone gets him angry. Most of the time, however, he restricts himself to a sort of wry displeasure at, well... everything.

Colche: I met her my first day on the island. Seems to be turning into some type of cat, although I can't quite place her markings. During that day in the cafeteria with Zach, she helped prevent large portions of my face from being removed, so she's alright in my book. But she still needs to be introduced to the joys of pants. And I'm not a ********' hero. >(
Awen: I met her at the same time as Colche, and I tend to doubt I left a good impression. She was well enough to walk around despite the fact that she had an IV attached to her arm, and if I'm not mistaken she's turning into some sort of fish. Makes me kind of glad I'm not a big fan of sushi. I might have been a little hard on her after she tried to feed much of that "stay calm" b.s., but Christ! If anyone has license to panic, I think it's the people on this goddmaned island.
Antony: Met her at the same time as Colche and Awen. She told Colche I was "not bad," which just might be the most charitable thing anyone's ever said about me. Despite the fact that modesty seems to be a foreign concept to her, she's a decent sort. Doesn't try to pretend that the fact that she's gradually turning into a squirrel is peachy keen, which speaks well for her. After seeing what she did to that guy in the cafeteria, I promised myself I'd try to avoid ever making her mad, but that's turning out to be easier said than done. We're two cheerful little sticks of dynamite.
Billy: At least I'm not the only one that blows at first impressions. I suspect he was going through withdrawal the day that we meant, although I'm not sure why he'd be convinced that Antony had his stash as it seemed like he was aching for some of the harder drugs. You know, the sort that compels a man to draw a knife and attempt to carve up an innocent woman's neck. Still, I almost feel sorry for the guy. Antony's got a wicked knee.
Zach: At first I thought he just couldn't take a joke. Then the ******** tried to eat me. Yeah, you heard that right. Like I was part of the cafeteria's buffet. He got dropped by whatever staff member was watching on those cameras before he could do anything serious. I hope you wake up with a beaver-frog in your room, b***h.
Chubbs: Frickin'... terrifying. I don't know what he is, but he came lumbering into the room and picked up Zach like a little ragdoll before getting zapped, too, I think. I'd probably be traveling through that lizard b*****d's large intestine right now if it weren't for his intervention, but- Jesus Christ! I'll be damned if I'm fool-hardly enough to walk up and thank him for it.
