They could be crew, passengers, anyone at all. They came up with great backgrounds and this was the opening:Memories stir, aching and sluggish... A dark ship on the horizon... a terrible storm, screams... a crack like the earth splitting apart... and water... so cold... Over a leaden sea, the sun rises red and pale, already disappearing behind thick, dark clouds. Winds shriek over the water, tossing foam and driving waves against the cliffs of a desolate, rocky island. A narrow break in the cliffs shelters a beach of dark sand dotted with worn pillars of stone, stunted trees and stubborn sea grass. Along the waterline, gray figures rise from the waves, empty eyes ablaze, clothes hanging in tatters, their cold, clammy hands reaching greedily for the warmth among shattered timbers and torn sailcloth. ...Sorrow's Plenty... the ship... the last one out of... pain lances, ending coherent thought. A cry of horror pierces the air sending a wrenching stab of consciousness to those lying among the wreckage. OOC: Roll for initiative!</blockquote>
