LA LA LAND

Name: Ash Johnson

Age: 33

Gender: Butch/gnc woman, she/her (default), he/they/xe (not fussed)

Power: Regeneration

FC: Katy O'Brian

All your life you played second fiddle, second best, second place. The middle child, overlooked and unappreciated. Your older sibling was a musical prodigy, your younger an intellectual. That left you the realm of the physical to which you took to with all your heart. First gymnastics, and head spinning tumbling, and then karate, to learn respect after you shoved a classmate following a disagreement. You took to these disciplines like a fish to water, pushing your body further and harder, excited to reach the limit. Yet, even then you couldn't succeed. You grew too tall, too big for the gymnastics team. A regional karate champ who could only ever place fourth or third or second at nationals. When high school ended you were faced with the vastness of choice and squandered potential. After an explosive fight, you decided to skip your university orientation into a teaching degree you had never wanted to apply for. Instead you went on the road, bouncing from dead end job to dead end job, until you found yourself in the hills of Hollywood. You put in an application to join a stunt team on a drunken whim, and you were ecstatic to be selected. That team became your family, your home. You threw yourself into the work like Tom Cruise off a cliff. You loved going home to an ache to your joints, the smell of gunpowder on your clothes. But yet again you were only ever second, a tiny name printed in the credit sequence while the actor got all the credit. You had enough. The opportunity came around to make your mark, a casting call for one of those island survival shows. You had gone out with your stunt crew to celebrate being shortlisted when suddenly your life was turned upside down. You're on an island, and the cameras are rolling, but is this truly your time to be recognized?

BRIGADOON

Name: Steve Harrison

Age: 37

Gender: genderqueer

Power: power augmenter

FC: Dan Levy

You were restless from the beginning. The kid who never sat still and always sought movement. It wasn’t just your body that needed to keep going, but your spirit too. The feeling manifested in a physical ache. A pull to search for the nearest exit or intriguing quest. The ritual of packing and unpacking never failed to excite. Nor did the view of a new landscape. A big change or small detour, there was no preference. As long as you landed someplace different. The vibrant colors of new adventures would eventually fade and the need to roam kicked in. There were whispers that you couldn’t commit to anything. The crueler speculation was that your family preferred you gone and out of their hair. The truth? Even you didn’t understand. The urge for change was a beast that needed to be fed. The island can't be further from the familiar. So far, there seems to be no way off and no next place to go. When the old itch of restlessness takes over, what will you do?

CONNECTIONS:

RIVERDALE: It feels like Riverdale is someone reliable, who you can come to whenever you have questions or need help. You don't like asking for help, so choosing Riverdale for this was a difficult decision. But on this island of strangers, even you need to try and depend on someone. Is Riverdale the right choice? EL DORADO: Somehow you and El Dorado end up working well together, but also with a slight competitive edge. As long as El Dorado doesn't mind a bit of competitive spirit, you don't mind either. In the strange world of this island, you need something to keep you motivated, so you don't run off alone.

RIVERDALE

Name: Alex Panganiban

Age: 36

Gender: Genderfluid

Power: Duplication

FC: Darren Criss

As a celebrity host, you are the first name that many would pick to live with on a hypothetical deserted island. In media, you demonstrate expertise at survival situations, a person who could hold up in any kind of environment. But the truth is that your 'survival' is scripted, planned scenarios in heavily produced environments. A calculated image, fabricated to build your brand - clothing, books, health products, fitness - a consumerist empire. You would not want to take yourself on a deserted island, for sure. And yet you wake up on a weird (deserted?) island with little knowledge of how you arrived, and even less ability to help the ones around you or even yourself. Will you fake it till you make it, or reveal your reality and hope people won't resent you for your inabilities and the knowledge you lack?

CONNECTIONS:

WONDERLAND: There's something about Wonderland that seems trustworthy, or rather gullible in their attempt to make your collective situation seem less harrowing than it really is. You're sure you can convince Wonderland of whatever you want them to believe. As long as you appeal to their better nature, you'll always have someone in your corner advocating for you. XANADU: You're both familiar with fame and being in the limelight, that much you know. That amount of knowledge is enough to form your strategy. With so many cameras around, whoever is watching you must want a show and who better to put one on than you and Xanadu? Whether you like it or not, the two of you could make things interesting.

ARRAKIS

Name: Akhila Asthana

Age: 48

Gender: Cis woman, She/Her

Power: Enhanced Speed

FC: Indira Varma

Logic and reason is your bread and butter. You take pride in your rational mind, nurturing it in the best schools or online with anonymous opinions. You enjoyed your chosen career, as it aligned with your cerebral needs. You thought you didn't need people, but you knew they needed your brilliant analytical mind - that felt like high praise enough. It was only at a late night dinner party with your partner, family, and colleagues, that you overheard the truth: everyone found you incredibly annoying. Difficult to be around, tedious to chat with. Even your partner, who you lived with, laughed along with the group's derision. For the first time, you felt a strong emotion like others would describe feeling: betrayal. Shame. It was powerful, overwhelming, and definitely not rational. Once on the island, it was an entirely different world with new rules, new people. But was that really so bad? At least these strangers didn't hate you. But could they ever like you?

CONNECTIONS:

ZERZURA: The way Zerzura seems to balance an inner drive with a logical mind is appealing to you. They always seem to have things under control; and control is something you desperately want to regain, on this weird island. If you get to know Zerzura's methods, maybe there's hope for you. KUKKUTARMA: You find Kukkutarma to be the exact opposite of everything you are: compulsive, public, dramatic. You don't like it, and yet you don't want to avoid them either. The benefits of knowing Kukkutarma on this island currently outweighs your aggravation. It also isn't lost on you: was this how people felt about you, back in the world?

AL-KHAN AL-AZRAQ

Name: Charles 'Charlie' Gano

Age: 49

Gender: cis man, he/him

Power: illusion

FC: Omar Sy

You were supposed to set an example, to be the voice of a generation, to be an inspiration to others. Your parents gave you a better chance, they fled their land for you. That way you could become whatever you wanted to be. And for their sakes, and the sake of the whole community, you’d be the best possible person. You’d be friendly, you wouldn’t cheat, you’d study every moment of the day that you could study. But you feared being a disappointment, so you hid all your failures. You’d request no second chances, you’d take responsibility for mistakes but you’d grow more and more wary that they might happen again. You had rivalries with other students, but it only made you more like them. Ready to throw someone else under the bus for your own gain. You almost do it, you almost destroy someone else’s career to further your own. Until you realise the person you’re bringing down is exactly like you. You’re fighting someone who is also trying to be an inspiration. While you were busy destroying yourself and someone like you, others took advantage, and the bright future you saw for yourself - that your parents and all your fans saw for you too - was now further away than ever. So you fled away from home, decided to start your occupation elsewhere, away from their eyes, but always in contact with them. To show them how good your life was. And your ex-wife went along with it, and your children, and eventually those illusions were real enough that there wasn’t much to lie about anymore. Except for that very small thing: you never told them you got divorced. And you really planned to explain it all to them, really, but was it so terrible that life had other plans for you? Whisking you away to some fantastical island?

NARAKA

Name: Calamity (Jane) Darling

Age: 36

Gender: cis woman, she/they

Power: time reversal

FC: Ritu Arya

Childhood was irrelevant, a rote of basic lessons and needs fulfilled like checkmarks on a to-do list. You always had your sights set on adulthood, whatever that meant. Written in songs and acted in videos, movies, TV shows too 'mature' for little ears - it was your aspiration. You taught your adopted younger brother as much as well, big plans for the two of you to be...everything. Anything you wanted, whenever you wanted. The climb was a bit more up and down for you than it was for him, but you were okay with that. You needed to hone your sword and temper your shield against the world and all the sick, perverse, twisted things it had to offer. A veritable candy store of new experiences and opportunities as far as you were concerned, and you felt up for the challenge. And that challenge was...something to be figured out later. For now: fun. Fun at the expense of others, never yourself. You weren't the best or the brightest, but you were the shiniest and the funnest. People adored you and you made them earn it. With your innate talent for owning a stage (and a little help from baby brother), you rubbed shoulders with the créme de la créme - ironic, how the créme of any group were mostly dishonest, cruel, and vicious. You rode them all hard for your notoriety, and not for any noble reason. And you never figured out the challenges in life, because you were having too much damn fun. You were strung out one morning in some penthouse, only barely conscious enough to slip out of bed, make it to the bathroom. But you never did - because the island was your final destination. With the blink of an eye you lose everything - except, at least, the most precious thing in your life: your brother.

KALOKAIRI

Name: Ratana “Crystal” Bun Ma

Age: 33

Gender: cis woman, she/her

Power: invisibility

FC: Davika Hoorne

A small town, a boring life, and working day in and day out to make ends meet. That was all you knew, and you always dreamed of something more. Longing for adventure, to spread your wings to see where the wind could take you, though it didn't seem to get you far. Stability was a foreign concept to you as most of your life you’ve been moved around from one place to the next. Telling tall tales about your life was an easy way to survive the lifestyle that was thrust upon you. You let your imagination run wild of all the different things your life could have been while also attracting a crowd of people fascinated by the life you claim to lead. And if they find out the truth? You’d be gone before it even mattered. Even when you grew up and had to settle down to not break the bank, you still found ways to fudge the truth or slip in eccentric stories between idle chatter. You loved the way people looked at you when you made up something interesting to share, or acted like you’ve shared their experiences. And that seemed to satisfy the cravings for adventure you knew you could never afford. But one day, when you find yourself on a beach that feels straight out of a vacation flier, it feels as though you won a free all expenses paid dream vacation. Will a place like this give you the fulfillment you wanted to finally find your authentic self? Or will you continue to have your fun, making up lie after lie even though there will be nowhere to run or hide once the truth comes out.

ALICANTE

Name: Evelyn Sanvel

Age: 31

Gender: cis woman, she/her

Power: telekinesis

FC: Halston Sage

You had a rough upbringing—abandoned at an orphanage, never knowing who your parents were. You grew up in a world that felt unfamiliar, with nothing you could truly call your own. Surrounded by people who were naturally gifted, influential, and full of charisma, you often felt out of place. But they told you there was something unique about you, something special you brought to the table. It just hadn’t been awakened yet. So, you believed their words, pushed yourself, and trained relentlessly to become the best version of yourself. But in doing so, you lost sight of who you truly were. You never found your real self, only adopting fragments of personas—masks you wore for the job. The job became all that mattered. Relationships? They were never strong enough to hold onto, never deep enough to connect with. After all, people leave anyway. Your sense of right and wrong is constantly at war with itself. You’re saving lives, aren’t you? Or are you just a pawn in a bigger game you never saw coming? After all, they told you how to react, trained you to be a weapon. But you never stopped to consider what you believed. So you found a small town, and chose a new path in the medical field—crafted a fresh life for yourself. At least for now. But the need for revenge began to grow in your heart. The people you trusted, now you wanted to tear down what they have built. Then, one morning, you wake up on an island. The reality hits: will you allow yourself to hold on to anger, or move forward and start over?
