Name: Russell Curtis
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Hair: Dark Brown, short, shaggy, unkempt
Eyes:Grey
Build: underweight and lanky, looks unhealthily so
Skintone: He could definitely use some sun.
Race/Nationality: Caucasian American
Height: 6'1
Weight: 131 lbs
Born: July 17th, 1983
Former Residence: Dearborn, MI
Family: Jeannie & Steve Curtis (Parents (divorced))
Marital Status: Single
Distinctive Features: His eyes are most usually hidden behind a pair of cheap wire-rimmed glasses and he has a scar on his lower back from falling out of a tree when he was younger and landing on a rock.
Attire: T-shirts and jeans. Usually rumpled and sometimes unwashed for days at a time.
Occupation: Russell's life is almost entirely MMORPGs. He has forsaken a social life, college, and discovering love for the sake of raids, instances, and grinding. He has never had a job, and its doubtful he'd be able to hold one regardless.
Personality: If one were to look up "social retard" in the dictionary, they just might see a picture of Russell's face. While he is not especially petulant or obnoxious like some nerds, years in front of the monitor's warm glow has crippled him socially with communication skills that don't extend beyond the keyboard. While incredibly outgoing and charismatic in MMoRPG's, in person he usually stares down at the ground or off into space, answering questions in grunts and with as little words as possible. In a desperate plea to fit in, sometimes he'll make fabricated (and often obnoxious) braggart statements to make himself seem cool, though this often backfires into awkward silence and quirked eyebrows all around in his direction. He'd much rather be sitting in his room with the lights out playing WoW.
The only members of the female persuasioin he is at ease around, besides his mom, are in JPEG format. When forced to interact with a female in person, he's doubly-awkward.
Likes: Peanut butter, World Of Warcraft, raiding, Mountain Dew, Slim Jims, epics, being uninterrupted for hours at a time, cable/DSL connections
Dislikes: stupid yappy dogs like the neighbors' mutt Cannibal, having to go to bed early, downtimes, gankers, n00bs, people who mouthbreathe over Ventrillo, Vanilla Coke, being put on the spot to socialize, crane flies, thunderstorms (means he has to turn off the computer), those nasty potato chips with the red and green spices on them
Reason For Coming To The Island: Russell was one of those people who was so inconspicious with no real ties to the rest of the world that if he were to go missing, he would not be noticed. No friends would grow concerned about his absense, his mother seemed like she would be easily placated, and as he had no job, he served no purpose in society. It made him a perfect abductee for Feral Labs' research.
Tapping into new resources for subjects that could be obtained with minimal hassle, Moreau had decided to try searching the dregs of the internet, setting up contacts with people who dealt with cyber junkies on a day-to-day basis and waited. Russ became a point of interest when, not only did his character remain logged in to the gaming servers for sometimes ten days at a time with four-hour idle periods for sleep, but it was apparant from his consequent message board posts under his character's name that his life was the internet. He had no greater ambitions for himself or any life whatsoever outside of the glowing monitor.
Getting him to the island was not especially hard. Russ was contacted in-game one night with a congratulatory note saying that his progress had been monitored by a third-party game company who wished to fly him out for a weekend convention/tournament and they wished him to be an instructor for gaming enthusiasts. He was told he'd have a week to choose some points of interest about MMoRPG gaming and write them out into twenty-minute presentations, and to watch the mail for his plane tickets.
Thrilled to be finally recognized for the one thing he was good at, there was no room for suspicion as Russ eagerly packed, typed his speeches, and watched the mail daily until, at last, the tickets arrived. His mother offered no hesitation whatsoever to this retreat, nor did she find the circumstances of Russ being chosen to be at all dubious. As she dropped him off at the bus station that would take him to the airport, she told him to have a nice vacation and to send her a post card. Little did they know that would be the last they'd see of one another...
