This is the journal for Ridley C. Marlow, captive of Dr. Moreau on his exotic tropical island. Take a look around, relax, but don't you dare take the ramp of the stairs. It's there for a reason.

Vasile DiRossi has also taken residence here. His personal journal can be found here at Duplex 14

The Marlow Family

The Marlow Family has been a strong force in the investment world for well over century, starting in lumber and steel and branching out into industry during the first and second World Wars. The family has become somewhat a business within itself, with advisors and what not looking over much of the families current investments. However, the head of the family, Chris Marlow, always has a few pet projects he pays personal attention too. Most relevant to our story is his controlling interest in the medical supply company Metasang which has been doing business with Feral Labs since before Nicholas Moreau's time. It was his plan to turn over control of the company to his son Ridley Marlow after the youth's completion of Business School.

In addition to a mother and a vast network of aunts, uncles, and cousins, Ridley Marlow has an elder brother who went the law route and currently spends most of his time on capitol hill, lobbying for the interests of his father's businesses.

Fellow Islanders

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. Vasile DiRossi
Vasile had the distinct pleasure of being the one to "break the news" to Marlow his first night on the island. Over several months their friendshp turned to courtship. Originally using their circumstances as justification, Marlow looked passed the fact that Vasile was a man. With such a limited pool of prospects on the island, it's not wise to get hung up on particulars when you find someone you can talk to and who also happens to be willing to have sex with your tragic self. Any concerns about sexuality were erased, however, when Vasile's transformation completed, leaving him a foxy femme fatale.

The pair now reside together in Marlow's first story duplex

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. Ambrose Maurlius
Marlow was introduced to Vasile's best friend Ambrose when the fox was indulging a need to show off. While Marlow usually doesn't think much of the wholesome, good-natured, always got your back types, he recognizes that Ambrose would be a good friend to have on the island. He consider's his approaching marriage to another islander a bit of pointless diversion, but is inspired by their example all the same.




User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. Dr. Aubrey Lockheart
Lockheart admitted Marlow to the Island and gave him his first injection. While at first Marlow believed they might have a lot to talk about (they were both in wheelchairs at their first meeting) he quickly learned that he'd been played. Further conversations with the woman have only hardened his dislike of her, though he's willing to take part in her hypocritical diversions if it means he can make Vasile happier.

William "Billy" Woodrow
Marlow met Billy on a bad day, after the latter had been kicked out of his duplex. Level heads prevailed, and only ink was spilt. The mere thought of Billy turns his stomach, but not because of his charming personality. He fears that their fates will have far too much in common




User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. Juanita "Nita" MacNeal
Marlow and Nita met briefly while watching Billy's "tentacle tantrum." She spent most of the encounter hiding behind his chair, but Marlow doesn't hold that against her. She seemed like a nice, meek, furry girl.





User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. image pending Antoinette "Antony" Devereux
Marlow's second most enthusiastic greeter to the island, she has offered on multiple occassions to make Marlow's stay more "comfortable." The pair alternate from being in perfect agreement to having polar opposite views. Marlow most appreciates knowing there is at least one person on the island he can share a cigarette with.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. image pending Newton "Newt" Filinas
The pair met by near collision one afternoon while Marlow was on a "joyride" down one of the numerous hilly roads on the island. The encounter only became more disastorous when Newt "maced" the partially changed and therefore "infections" islander.

Duplex 47
Not exactly in the mood yet for making himself at home, Marlow has left his duplex pretty much as bare as it was given to him. The only notable difference between it and all other duplexes are the subtle alterations for making it more accessible to his wheelchair.

Marlow's Belongings

Aside from the clothes that Vasile procured for him through catalogues, Marlow's only possession is a crumpled bit of paper pinned to the wall above his intercom. It is his own obituary (shown above,) torn from the pages of the Sunday Edition of the Boston Globe.

Quotes and Memorable Moments


"A what?"
"A snail, Mr. Marlow. As in escargot."
"That was rhetorical, doctor, but thank you for putting it in more culinary terms. I'm turning into a side dish."

~ Aubrey and Marlow
