In an attempt to get away from the demons hunting him, he gladly takes the chance to experience the beauties and wonders of Banoi. Soon enough though the getaway he was dreaming about turns into a real life nightmare…
Character’s In-Game Bio: Oh, man. I used to be on top of the world, brother. All-pro quarterback, four years running. Voted the Sexiest Texan in 2004. Beat out Dennis Quaid and Matthew McConaughey for Christs sake. So I drank a few beers now and then. Popped the occasional pill.
Thats nothing compared to what the team quacks would shoot me up with just so I could play. Sometimes I just needed to numb the pain. You know what Im saying? My biggest vice was speed. Not meth, buddy, adrenaline. I blew every penny I had on the fastest cars I could find. Just so you know Im a damn good driver. If that asshole I was street racing hadnt a side-swiped me, I never would have crashed. And that poor girl would still be alive. Thats right.
Its his goddamn fault I shattered my leg in six goddamn places. So I had a few drinks in me. So what the fuck? I drive drunk better than I do sober anyway. Of course, I couldnt play worth shit after that. After I got outta jail, they canned my ass. Said I violated the morals clause on my goddamn contract. Ended up playing semi-pro in fucking Canada. But Im still a name. Still a celebrity.
Thats why they wanted me to promote their blood drive here. Thats why they fucking flew me first class halfway around the goddamn world. Because my name still means something. Logan Carter is not a goddamn douchebag.

She is a fast learner, intelligent, and also – as a passionate sportswoman – quick on her feet. Having just arrived at the island, Xian Mei was responsible for a myriad of menial tasks at the hotel, before starting work as a receptionist.
This opportunity to meet and greet all the different nationalities that visited the hotel was ideal for Xian Mei, as it provided a perfect source of inspiration for her dreams of traveling the globe. That is of course, before suddenly the world around her begins to crumble…
Character’s In-Game Bio: My father was a very great man. A Chief Inspector for the Hong-Kong Police. Even though he died when I was ten, I remember him very well. He was killed by an enforcer for the Wo Shing Wo Triad. I told myself then that I would follow in his footsteps and honor his memory. He taught me martial arts and I continued to practice after he was gone.
After finishing at the top of my university class, I joined the Hong Police and was chosen as part of the first all female anti-organized crime squad. I worked hard. I did my best. But the men in charge never intended to put us on the front lines. They didnt train us the way they promised they would. They didnt believe any of us women were up to the task.
We were only for show. Instead my superior sent me here. To this resort. To this front desk. To be an informer. To spy on wealthy Westerners. My father would not be proud of me. This work dishonors his memory. But I will do as they ask. For I am a patriot.
But I know I am capable of much much more. I just need the opportunity to prove myself.

Trying to pick up the pieces and earn some extra cash, he suddenly finds himself surrounded by a whole lot of different problems…
Character’s In-Game Bio: I grew up in New Orleans. The Lower Ninth Ward. My daddy went to prison when I was two. Thats where he died. Angola. Momma didnt ever recover from that and drank and did crack and any random motherfucker who didnt smack her around too bad. My nannas the one who raised me. She ran a washeteria and we lived in a little shotgun house on Burgundy.
From the time I was ten, man I wanted to rap. I was into old school free-style rap and Id be kicking ass at them battles, brah. But, man I just couldnt catch a break. Nothing caught on. So one Halloween I came up with Who Do You Voodoo, Bitch?. Just as a motherfucking joke, you know? It went right to the top of the hip-hop charts. Like a motherfucking rocket! Suddenly I was famous.
Going to the Grammies. Hitting the parties. Man, I had bitches up the yin yang and for the first time in my life, I was making money. But shit, I was spending it as quick as I was getting it. I thought I had made it, you know what Im saying? That the gravy train was never gonna end. So I did another song. And another song. And nothing hit. Nothing fucking hit. Song after song and nobody gave a shit.
Its been ten years man, and yeah I can still get gigs but all they want me to do is Who Do You Voodoo, Bitch? I used to play the big Casinos in Vegas or Atlantic City, but now, its just Reno or Laughlin or some motherfucking cruise ship. So this gig here might be my last chance.
Theres some heavy Hollywood hitters here and if I get noticed, I could be right back on top. You know what Im saying?
Purna
Character’s Speciality: Firearms
Character’s Health: 100
Character’s Speed: 100

Character’s Official Description: Purna is a former officer of the Sydney Police department. After losing her career when she killed a child molester who could not be touched legally because of his wealth and connections, Purna then turned to working as a bodyguard for VIPs in dangerous places all over the world.
She is hired not just for her skills but her looks as wealthy men did not mind showing up with Purna on their arm.
Character’s In-Game Bio: I hate rich assholes, which is fucking ironic since Im expected to put my bloody life on the line for them. Thats why they pay me for. This pricey hotel here? To be a bodyguard for the rich and famous fuckwits who come to Banoi to blow their money.
I used to be a cop. A bloody good one. A vice detective in Sydney. You know how many female half-Aborigine detectives there were before me? None. You think it was easy suffering the abuse of my so-called colleagues? Half of em hated me because I was a girl and the other half didnt like the fact that my mom was a Koori. So, I came up the hard way: I busted my ass. It took me twelve years to make detective and that still wasnt enough. Its an old boys club, you know?
The whole justice system is a fucking joke. Teenage drug addicts get put away forever and old white wankers who steal fucking millions get away scot-free. One rich bugger I investigated was clearly molesting his fourteen years old daughter, but he had too much pull with the politicians, so I couldnt touch him. After the girl killed herself, I confronted him but he just laughed at me.
He pulled out a pistol and told me he could blow my bleedin head off and no one would care because I was nothing, a nobody, an Abo bitch So I fucking took his gun away and shot the bastard. It was self-defense, but I still got sacked. Twelve bloody years down the drain.
Worst part is, I didnt even kill the son of a bitch. I just gelded him. One day Im gonna have to go back and finish the job
