Character:
Name: Adam Austin
Age: 26
Birthday: September 29th, 1985
Country of origin: America
Reason for flight: VACATION. SWEET, SWEET VACATION.
Personality: Adam's mood swings go from zero to 60 in half a second. One moment he's on the top of the world, the next minute he's shunning everyone around him for no apparent reason. Probably because of his inability to control his emotions, he is extremely forgiving in the hopes that others will return the favor. There's really nothing you can do to get on Adam's bad side, aside from pick, pick, picking away at his self-esteem. The occasional insult will make him shout and maybe run crying into the jungle, but it's nothing to lose friends over. Once you realize that Adam's outbursts mean next to nothing, it's not that hard to just ignore them.
He's very familiar with people. There's no, 'getting-to-know-you' period with Adam; if he sees somebody, he talks to them. If he's got something embarrassing on his mind? That's what he'll talk about. He has tact when it comes to other people, just not himself. Strangely enough, Adam is a paternal (though more maternal) type, spending a lot of his time talking people up and trying to make them feel better, which he's uncannily good at. The man is also loud. Like really, really, ridiculously loud. And very susceptible to the power of suggestion (read: he's kind of a hypochondriac).
Appearance: Adam is happy to admit to being a pretty handsome guy! His face manages to stay attractive through some of the strangest expressions you've ever seen. His dark eyes are his best feature, dark with long lashes, though plenty of girls have complimented him on his smile~~~ If he HAD to find a flaw, he might say that his nose is just a tad on the big side and that he's about a centimeter of hair away from having a unibrow. BOOM, metric burn.
He stands at 6'3", tall enough to tower over most of his fellow Americans. He's very well toned, something most people don't expect of him. The gym is his home away from home! Where else is it socially acceptable to let out a He-Man grunt? Adam seems much smaller than he is, so when you finally realize that this guy could probably tear a phone book in half, it comes as quite a shock.
Until a few years ago, Adam dressed like an oversized kindergartener. Cowboy boots, a furry hat, checkered pants and a dinosaur shirt... It's possible he wore that. Outside of just wearing things that made him happy, Adam was daring people to interact with him. So what if they made fun of his outfit? They spoke with another human being! Now, however, he limits himself to one strange item a day. He's on the wrong side of twenty-five and should look like a man, he tells himself. The rainbow socks hidden by his boring old loafers keep him from feeling like he's totally sold out.
PB: Donald Glover
History: Thoroughly an only child, Adam has all the marks of someone whose childhood was just a little too happy. His parents were extremely supportive about everything he did. They never yelled or put him on time-out; at every turn, Adam was encouraged to be himself. While that might sound like a good thing, growing up without any structure meant that he never quite fit in with other children. His emotional responses didn't make sense to his friends. The way he dressed was embarrassing. And, well, one raised word could reduce him to tears. His parents realized what they'd done, but it was to late for them to fix it.
Or, they thought desperately, maybe it wasn't an issue of nurturing. Perhaps this was the result of a mental illness. Throughout his high school years, Adam was in and out of therapist's offices, psychiatrist's offices, psychologist's offices... He switched medication every few months or so. He doesn't have such a good memory of those years, but the one thing that stuck with him was the idea that he wasn't normal, which was a BAD thing. All his life, he'd been told that being different was wonderful. Now he wasn't so sure.
College proved to be too much for him. He dropped out of UC Santa Cruz, took a few months off, went to a community college in L.A., dropped out of that and gave up. Adam worked a series of service jobs. Without any real specialty, he felt like he was just spinning his wheels. However, he's recently gotten a job in television. So he only holds the boom mic, so what? It's gotten his foot in the door. He hopes to convince someone important to read one of the half-dozen scripts he's written. Until then, he'll hold that damn mic and thank it for the definition it's given his arms.
Upon being told he'd earned a full week off, Adam hopped a plane to Australia. Australia! He'd always wanted to go. It was just one giant island of things that wanted to kill you. What could be more exciting than that?
Special skills: He has watched a lot of tv and movies! Some useful survival facts probably slipped in there. Used to go camping as a kid, so can start a fire and knows a little about cooking in the wilderness.
Strengths: Book-smart, forgiving, empathetic, physically strong, charismatic.
Weaknesses: Volatile, attention-seeking, easily influenced, suffocating, neurotic.
Misc: Vegan, but I'm sure that'll be changing soon. Related, he's very glad that he didn't take his pot-bellied pig along with him on vacation.
Inventory: Nike trainers, a red hoodie, eggshell polo, worn jeans, undergarments. Wallet containing an I.D., credit cards and a few numbers he kept on handy. His iPod is soaked, as is his Android phone. His headphones might still work? Who knows.
