Okay, so it's been a while since I did one of these, but here we are. Your character was on a sea voyage and then suddenly...bam shipwreck. They find themselves marooned on a deserted island. A lush tropical paradise of a deserted island, but a deserted island all the same.

What do they do? How do they escape? Do they want to escape?

Promote your works down below too and have fun :grin:.

Quite simply, Tomobi would immediately go through the multiple stages of emotions within the first hour or so before spending more hours arguing with himself on what he should do. He can't create an SOS due to the rarity of aircraft or a raft cause there are things in the water that could've made the shipwreck. Though he wouldn't wanna stay on the island cause there might be things on it as well.

In summary, he would probably die

Faff about making a sand castle and prod things in the rock pools probably. :sweat_smile:

Oh, man, this is interesting!

Agony:if there were other people on the ship, she's in charge of them now. Organizes a community and eventually gets them saved.

Thesis: screw humanity, I live on island now.

Duenna: Fix ship. Sail the other way.

Motif: Lie face down in the sand and wait for the crabs to get him.

Sequel: God knows what he did but years later is found alive somehow.

Thesis and Sequel will end up being neighbours then? Nice. Duenna and Agony sound like the most practical of the five, and Motif :joy::joy::joy: I don't know what to say.

It's all fun and games until you realise - probably should have spent that energy searching for a water source. Lol! :sweat_smile:

Good point, :joy: but then again: Tropical paradise island all to yourself? Why not have fun? Besides, it shouldn't be that hard to find drinking water, all those palm trees have to grow somehow right?

Gunhild: Freaks out, eventually calms down and hugs Ingrid.
Loki: Runs around naked because there are no laws on this island.
Ingrid: Builds a sandcastle
Sif: Picks fruit and flowers, makes flower crowns for everyone, starts a barbecue and a singsong around a campfire.
Thor: Builds loads of hammocks, then goes fishing or treasure hunting.
Sigrun: Cries because there's no WiFi, and she can't do her makeup

He'd just swim back to what ever continent he got off on
He's built different

Regro (if uninjured) would fly home and come up with an explanation for the boat rental guy on where his boat is.

This depends heavily on whether the two MCs were marooned with each other or not.

Adi, if alone, would survive just fine. She grew up in a subsistence/bartering society in the deep woods, so other than having to re-figure out what was okay to eat on the island, she'd set up a shelter, start a fire, and hunt/gather/fish for food. She'd be stuck there until another ship picked her up, but she'd be unlikely to die unless the island doesn't have enough resources to sustain a person.

Koreal, if alone, would grumble for a few seconds, cast a teleport spell, and be back in civilization moments later, because he's a wizard. Even if he couldn't do a teleport for whatever reason, he has plenty of ways to escape an island-- flight, breathing underwater, walking on water, cobbling together a raft and conjuring wind to carry him away... He wouldn't stay stuck, is what I'm saying.

If Adi and Koreal were stuck TOGETHER on an island, they'd probably view it as the opportunity to set up a private getaway. She'd get him to help her build a shelter (and probably a nicer one than she could manage alone, because magic), and they'd probably enjoy a tropical vacation alone with each other for a few days/weeks until Koreal got bored, and then they'd teleport (or whatever) back to civilization, leaving behind a way to return to the island if they wanted later. The shelter/resources they left behind may or may not be booby-trapped, however, just in case anyone ELSE stumbled on their private getaway.

Sounds like everyone apart from Sigrun would have a good time, but especially Sif. Loki though... :joy::joy:.

Your comic looks like a lot of fun, I'll definitely check it out. Feel free to have a look at my novel and subscribe if you're interested:

Just because it sounds more fun, let's say they were stuck on the island together. I like the idea of turning the place into their own private resort, I certainly would.

I think I subbed to you before, but I'm not sure. In any case, I've subbed now, I really like your art style :+1:. Feel free to check out my novel and subscribe if you're interested:

Jake: full on panics for a good while. Keeps reminding himself they’re lucky to be alive. Panics a little more, but a bit more quietly the second time around.

Damien: tries to keep Jake from panicking. Let’s him pace around the “base” they’ve “claimed” (aka a tree that gives decent shade) or gives hugs at random. Stresses about getting back to his sisters, but keeps it inside because sometimes feelings are hard.

A few hours later...

Jake: * handing over some branches * “Yeah, we live here now. This is nice. It’s pretty quiet. There’s no one to bother us. I think this might actually be the first time I’ve relaxed in a couple of years.

Damien: * pausing in the middle of the raft he’s building * “Umm, so, should I keep building this...? Or no...?” :sweat_02:

P.S. They compromise and stay for a few months before trying (and succeeding) to get back home.

Well hopefully there is good edible plants, since Zessen is a vegetarian :sweat_smile: she'll probably first try to get some rescue by using her light powers to constantly flash light into the sky to get people's attention. While waiting, she'd probably just live off the land and maybe have an existential crisis or two. But maybe she'll enjoy the quiet a bit since there's no one forcing her to do anything.

Before I answer just wanna say this seems like a good character prompt in case of writers/artists block. Great idea!

Jules: [my city now meme until she’s bored and nopes outta there]

Katherine: I want to speak to the Island Manager

Bob: It just becomes Island Woodstock, somehow

Brenda: “it just becomes Island Woodstock,” Prt 2, Electric Boogaloo

Keith: He starts crying to a volleyball in forty five minutes

Pat: Proceeds to open a tiki bar.
