Chemical Engineer / Adventurer

Adventurous, genuine and over-ambitious JJ will do anything to
find evidence of a lost technology even if it means risking his
teammates lives.
His drive and determination are inspiring, but
his blind faith and high expectations alienate the team members.
His true tests arise when he is forced to trust
in his team’s skills and commitment.
Though dedicated to the scientific method, JJ has
a fascination with metaphysics and the natural world, which
has fueled his lifelong investigation of the ancient mysteries of
the human mind and the balance between man, nature, and
the human spirit.
JJ looks to the shaman and geologist for
advice as he struggles to become a better leader.

Anthropolo g i s t

Not your average Jane, Adrienne is intelligent, charming and ambitious. She knows what she wants and uses what she has to get it. Adrienne rarely discusses her past and does what she can to keep herself from forming strong emotional ties. She is competitive around other confident, intelligent females, and this manifests in her relations with Teejay, the Archaeologist. Her passion for fame seems to conflict with the honest pursuit of ancient technology, and she tends to gravitate to the guys most of the time Her facade of innocence combined with her beauty sells most of the team, but not Teejay.

S u r v i va l i s t

Rex is the ultimate survivalist. Charming, relaxed, and super pragmatic, this Aussie skeptic of rumored ancient technology is a total gear head climber. His practical nature tends to clash with JJ’s metaphysical side. He is charismatic, and well spoken, and stubborn in his opposition to this quest. He generally represents the questions for the unscientific audience. He is an adrenaline junkie whose passion for adventure helps fuel JJ’s ambitious climbs. Rex’s good judgement constantly challenges JJ’s lack of judgement in many situations.

Historian

Cautious, reserved, but no less interesting than the rest Maja is the the mother hen of the team. She is a poised debator, but often plays the role of the professor, spouting off information like an encyclopedia. Sometimes she is over-protective which hinders some of JJ’s ambitious plans, yet she will push herself to her limits when necessary. Maja looks for the good in everyone, but never holds back her strong opinions. Her strong points of view about the nature of reality often lead to arguments with Jason, the Civil Engineer and Rex, the Survivalist.

Civil Engineer

Arrogant and pretentious, Jay is a scholar only in it to get his research published. He isn’t a team player, opting out of cooking and chores, but quick to demand his fair share. He tends to spend a lot of time alone and is often engaged in arguments when he’s with the group. Jay is concerned with appearances and jumps at any opportunity to look like the better person. His “dog eat dog” views are clear from the beginning. His morals are malleable with no problem lying or betraying a partner to get extra credit. His primary focus is preserving his own research, at the cost of the team’s success.
