It's 1862, you have been sailing upon the S.S Adventure, a Schooner that has been sailing around the world as part a scientific vessel and part passenger vessel. It has been travelling the world since leaving New York two years ago. Most of you come aboard to get away from home because as far as you are concerned there is very little for you back home. However after travelling a fair portion the world from the Caribbean to the Baltic, from the Mediterranean to Madagascar. Somewhere along this route you boarded the vessel but as it sailed into the Indian Ocean the Adventure was struck by a hurricane and hit a reef. As the ship slipped beneath the waves you thought it was the end, but you, along with others, were carried to shallows by dolphins. Clothes ruined and drenched, as the sun rises you find yourself on an empty shore with the other survivors and half strange noises coming from the bush ahead. OOC Howdy and welcome to my new rp.

With almost no fat anywhere on her, her curves and hips are most prominent when she wears her usual tight fitting clothing. The chiseled muscles along her upper half leave her back and upper shoulders looking quite ripped but with a single lift of a finger can move fluidly. -=+=-=+=-=+=- -=+=-=+=-=+=- Boarded at: Naples, Italy -=+=-=+=-=+=- -=+=-=+=-=+=- Personality: No stranger to the spotlight, Vina is much accustomed to being paid attention to while onstage. Her graceful and fluid movements are the results of years of constant hardcore training which have led her to come across as controlling and strict, not stopping until every little detail is justtt perfect. As the lead role in life's relentless and endless dance, she's known to be quite pushy and defensive when no one is listening or paying attention to her word that she thinks is law. She's shoved through others to get to the top before and is more than happy to do it again, no matter the situation. Despite her stubborn mindset, she learns best with visual representation and can pick up the littlest of things rather quickly after years of memorizing different choreography. -=+=-=+=-=+=- -=+=-=+=-=+=- Skills: Dancing, Modeling, Adaptation, Quick Learner, Leadership. -=+=-=+=-=+=- -=+=-=+=-=+=- Two Items: Spoiler: ~Musica~ -=+=-=+=-=+=- Music box with matching opening key necklace -=+=-=+=-=+=- -=+=-=+=-=+=- -=+=-=+=-=+=- Sobstory: Born in Naples, Italy she's lived her entire life under her own careful eye in the mirror of her dancing studio. Her mother a sculpture artist and other mother an art historian and restorer, she's no stranger to ridicule. Figuring to eventually catch her mothers' eyes in areas of the arts they both already knew well, she kept pushing herself under the direction of a famous instructor while living in Paris from ages 9-15. She moved to Moscow, Russia to train with other upcoming ballerinas until age 19 and moved back to Italy to begin her modeling career that her mothers had dreamed up for her. It was during her travel to Greece that she met her biological waste of an abusive father who wanted nothing to do with her other than her fame. ~Rest IC <; ~

It begins as said, with you clambering from the shallows, soaking wet, shoes gone and your clothes in tatters. You were carried in on dolphins who now skip away into the dawn on the waves. All that has survived of the whole ship are you few and some scattered luggage on this wild forested shore.@Buckwheat2003 @Chalapas @Heaven_of_ash @SpoopMelon @Wolf_Cobra
Lavinia She gasped for air as she struggled out of the waves and onto the shore now a soaking wet mess. Her clothes hung tight to her and she reeked of the salty water she had just trudged from. She could barely see straight, let alone try and stand. Flopping onto her back and crawling back was her only option. "Per l'amor di scopare.."
