On July 6th 1991.That was the day Maynard Wiles disappeared from the world. He was a tortured author with no family and no friends, just wealth. With the money that he amassed after publishing three books series, Maynard bought himself a jet which he planned to fly around the world in, in hopes of encountering true happiness. The man was suicidal and neglected to hire an actual licensed pilot, preferring to fly the aircraft himself. So it was no surprise when his plane went down in the middle of the Pacific ocean. The authorities thought he had died and because there were no friends and family who cared about him, his case was closed and search parties lasted for less than a week.

But Maynard Wiles wasn't dead. And his plane hadn't crashed in the ocean, it had crashed on a undocumented desert island that he soon marked as his. Over the years, Maynard lived alone suffering in his own solitude. Until one fateful night when a woman washed ashore. The woman, Jingfei was unconscious and malnourished, and Maynard nursed her back to health. He cared for her, doted on her and soon she fell in love with him. The two, crazed by their predicament and desperate for a normal life, consummated their love but where dismayed to find out that no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't make their family bigger.

Until one day, a plane crashed and the survivors washed ashore. This event greatly pleased Maynard and Jingfei and they began trying their best to both care for the survivors and sabotage any of their attempts at leaving the island.

The passengers of flight 721 were meant to arrive in Sydney, Australia at 9:30 pm for a variety of events. Some were visiting relatives, a few of the more famous ones were attending a Gala at the Sydney Opera House. All of them never expected for their plane to go down in the Pacific Ocean after an engine malfunctioned. The pilot, Jim 'Jimmy' Norton tried his hardest to keep the plane level but the pressure from the plane nosediving caused the windshield to invert and crash into him, slicing his jugular among other parts. The co-pilot, Lars Overton who had planned to retire the next week at the ripe age of 65, suffered a heart attack minutes before a shard of windshield impaled his skull. In the passenger part of the plane, most of the passengers and flight attendants perished from either heart attacks or head injuries, but 31 survived with minimal injury.


As soon as these 31 were able to extract themselves from the wreck of the crashed plane, they were greeted by the islands sole inhabitants, Maynard and his wife Jingfei, who were more than happy to comfort and welcome their into the fold. The two had easily 'renovated' parts of the island into livable areas and knew how to navigate the terrain and circumvent the more dangerous creatures. And they're willing to share this knowledge, if you join their family.

Will you try to escape or will you join the Wiles family?

We do not romance unless approved by Maynard and Jingfei.
We do not wander at night.
We do not kill the Night Shadow.
We do not kill more than we can eat.
We do not harm children.
We do not abandon family.
We NEVER leave the island.

When the plane crashed, Jingfei saw it first and her eyes lit up with eagerness and joy. No one had come upon the island in so long and she was ready for new family members. Maynard, was of course the love of her life, but Jingfei wanted the energy that came with a child and maybe a few more relatives. Maynard came up behind her, dried blood from last night's hunt splattered all over his chest. Jingfei licked a finger and tried to wipe the stain away. She didn't mind the sight of blood, but their new family might.

"Come wife. Let us greet our new blood." Maynard stated, taking her hand and kissing it. Jingfei smiled slightly and nodded. "Yes...But if they do not wish to join us?" She asked, worry flickering in her eyes. Maynard scoffed and cocked a brow. "They will not survive long without us, and we will make them realize that." And with that, the island's original inhabitants began the short trek to the beach where the plane had crashed.

Dr. Marco Cortes woke up with a start. When he tried to sit up, his head felt as if it wasn't being crushed under someone's boot. His vision was tinted red and it only took him a minute to realize it was because he was bleeding. Without getting up, Marco touched his face lightly, wincing when his fingertips grazed the gash on his brow. The pressure in his head, eased for a moment and he took that chance to sit up slowly and glance around at his surroundings.

Fire. Smoke. Writhing bodies. Bodies that weren't moving..."Oh my god!" He cried when he realized that the woman who had been seated next to him on the plane was lying motionless beside him. There was a massive shard of glass jutting out of her abdomen and her eyes were wide open, and glassy. One of her legs was twisted at an odd angle, and pearly white bone was sticking out of her thigh. Gagging Marco tried to get up but only managed to crab walk backwards awkwardly. As he moved, his hand touched something soft and he turned around to see another person, although thankfully, this one was alive. "Oh shit. Oh shit. Uh, are you alright? Can you move?" He asked, recalling his CPR training.

"Ugh..." It was rather painful, but having no choice, Juhi slowly opened her eyes. Her head was throbbing, as if someone was pushing waves through her skull at an incessant and unforgiving speed. She didn't want to move, so she remained still, simply feeling as she tried to process what happened. They were on their flight to Australia, and then...

She could feel hot sand up her hands. Slowly, she turned her head, and her eyes were met with the terrible sight of the two passengers next to her, having been killed in rather gruesome ways, blood pooling from where one had been stabbed through the gut. The other- Juhi turned her head away so she wouldn't have to see anymore.

"S-Sean?" Her voice was shaky as she forced herself to sit up. Immediately she felt a wave of nausea and dizziness hit her. Thankfully, however, aside from bruises and aches, she was uninjured.
Where was her brother? "Sean?" Her voice was louder this time, sounding a little panicked. She had to find him. What if he was hurt? Or worse, what if he had gone into one of his rages?

She stood up, legs shaking, a hand to her head, trying to keep her headache at bay, somehow. Her dark eyes were roaming the disaster area at high speed until she spotted a man, and her brother next to him, unconscious.

"That's my brother!" she cried, and she tried to run forward... except she stumbled instead, the dizziness and headache obviously not on her side. She landed knee first on the ground. "Ugh!"
