Host: Hello.
Rowan: Yo.
Host: Please introduce yourself for the viewers at home.
Rowan: Right. I'm Rowan Kepler, nonbinary. They/them pronouns.
Host: Thank you, Rowan. Now, I have already given a description of how the contestants each have a role to fulfill in the town in the interview with Ellie, so I will skip straight to the main part of the interview. Does that sound good?
Rowan: Sure.
Host: Alright. So, what role were you selected for in the town, Rowan?
Rowan: I'm the head of resource management and sustainability.
Host: I see! That seems like an important job, but can you give me a summary of what it is you will do? For those who might not know what that is.
Rowan: Right. Basically, I will be working towards keeping us environmentally friendly, and keeping track of our resources. I'm the one that plans and allocates our resources, approving the use of items for projects the others will think of. Also, I'm a bit of a handyperson, and will be actually participating in a lot of the building projects. Back home, I helped with a lot of the building projects in my community.
Host: Wow! Sounds like you'll be a major asset to Genesis.
Rowan: Hah, I hope so.
Host: Alright, so, tell me a little bit more about yourself. Where do you come from, what did you do before you came here, is there someone waiting for you back home? Any hobbies? Things like that.
Rowan: Ugh.. okay. I'm, uh. I'm from an off-the-grid community... basically, a former hippie commune that somehow lasted until now. So I'm used to living an environmentally friendly life, and being self-sufficient. Helped my family grow our own food. Grew up learning about the environment, really lit a fire under me to fix things, so I applied to go to university in the big city to learn environmental sceince.
Host: That is impressive! So you have a degree in environmental science?
Rowan: Oh, nah. University was not for me. It was too... theoretical, not hands on enough. I dropped out after the second semester.
Host: Ah, I see. That makes sense, university is not for everyone.
Rowan: Nope. So I've been mostly working as a freelance consultant, until I saw the recruiting advertisement for this show and thought it sounded more like what I wanted to do.
Host: I hope it will be exactly what you want it to be. Anyway, can you share anything else about yourself?
Rowan: Oh. Yeah. The questions you asked me before, I don't have anyone waiting for me back home, if you mean romantically. I have a few flings, but nothing serious. As for hobbies, I love making wooden carvings, statues, furniture, I just love woodworking. When I need some time alone - which I need a lot of - I just isolate myself in a work with a block of wood and a knife. It's great fun.
Host: That's amazing! I believe that's all the time we have, so thank you so much for your time, Rowan.
Rowan: Yeah. No prob. See ya later.
