Character List and some Descriptions of each. Just in case there's a character artist out there who'd be interested in working on this project:
Main Characters:
Scott Evans (You if playing Male) - Male, 18, Brother of Zoe. Blond Hair, Blue Eyes. This will be your first summer working as a volunteer counselor at the camp, and in fact this is only your second job. Your first job was working as a janitor at the factory where your Dad was a manager. Not very athletic, but not too geeky either.
Becca Evans (You if playing Female) - Female, 19, Sister of Zoe. Blond Hair, Brown Eyes. This will be your first summer working as a volunteer counselor at the camp. Your sister seemed to have such a good time there last year that she really wanted you to share it with her. Plus, she let you know that a boy you've had a bit of a crush on is going to be working there as a camp counselor this year.
Zoe Evans - Female, 16, Blond Hair, Brown Eyes, Handicapped, Sister of Scott and Becca. This is her second year at camp, and it was quite obvious to the family that she had a great time last year. She has always looked a little thin because of her handicaps (she can only walk a few feet due to problems with her joints, and she can't speak more than a few words vocally, although she has a great ability to understand what others are saying and can sign with a fairly large vocabulary).
Becky Turner - Female, 42, Camp Coordinator for Camp Handiba, Red Hair, Blue Eyes, Cindy's Mother. Ms. Turner has run the camp since it opened five years ago. She doesn't own the camp, rather it was started by a non-profit agency, but it is her responsibility to keep it going. She has a kind face, and is a surrogate mother to all the campers and counselors.
Cindy Turner - Female, 18, Red Hair, Blue Eyes, Becky's Daughter. She has helped her mom as a counselor for the past three years. While you can see the family resemblance, she is more headstrong and impulsive than her mother. At times she comes off as a bit of a tomboy still, while other times she puts on a graceful air.
Two other female camp counselors:
Savannah Taylor - Female, 19, Black Hair, Brown Eyes. This is her second year at the camp, and while she seems very outgoing, she doesn't seem to want to talk much about what happened last year.
April Jones - Female, 22, Black Hair, Blue Eyes, Glasses. Seems to be very studious, and a bit quiet although very caring. Seems to be a good friend of Shawn's. This is her third year working at the camp.
One other male camp counselor:
Keith Perkins - Male, 17, Red Hair, Brown Eyes. This is Keith's first job, but with his natural athletic ability, the outdoors seems to be the perfect place for him. He's the type of guy who gets along with everyone.
Girl Campers:
Jenny Stewart - Female, 18, Brown Hair, Brown Eyes. Before coming down with a form of MS she was a Cheerleader in Junior High. She still goes to many athletic functions, and tries to show her school spirit as best she can. Like many of the returning campers, she seems particularly excited to be here. This is her third year at the camp.
Erica Reed - Female, 18, Blond Hair, Brown Eyes. Erica is physically fine, but is mentally a little delayed. Because she looks "normal" she is sometimes taken advantage of at school. She likes it when the other girls help with her hair, and will be your best friend if you let her. This is her fourth year at the camp, which makes her a bit of an old timer.
Lynn Johnson - Female, 17, Blond Hair, Blue Eyes. Lynn is the type of person who tries to ignore her handicap. She lost her left leg to cancer, but does her best to keep it "under wraps" that she's wearing a prosthesis. She sometimes acts like she shouldn't be here, but also seems to be very happy to be coming back. This is her third year at the camp.
Donna Phillips - Female, 17, Brown Hair, Blue Eyes. Donna is deaf, but had learned to read lips as well as signing. She is a big help with the other girls, and may become a counselor herself one day. Oddly enough, one of her favorite activities is playing the harmonica - something she supposedly started on two years ago when she first came to the camp.
Judy Smith - Female, 16, Red Hair, Green Eyes. One of two "first time" campers, Judy is a bit heavyset from being in a wheelchair all the time. She had a birth defect that caused her to be born paralyzed from the waist down, and has never walked. She have a very bubbly personality, and can beat anyone at TV trivia.
Kim Lee - Female, 15, Black Hair, Black Eyes. The other "first time" camper, Kim obviously is of Asian descent. She has no visible handicaps, but seems very easily frightened by loud noises or unexpected movements. All Becky will say is that Kim deserves to be here.
Boy Campers:
Ken Brown - Male, 18, Blond Hair, Blue Eyes. Ken wears incredibly thick glasses that make him look like more of a geek than he really is. Without them he's legally blind, and is a little hard of hearing in his right ear. He tends to be a bit withdrawn, but can be coaxed to join in without too much trouble. This is his third year at the camp.
Shawn Davis - Male, 18, Black Hair, Blue Eyes. Shawn is very withdrawn, and has been diagnosed as borderline Autistic. Groups overwhelm him, and often you will see April helping him to leave before he completely loses it. Still, one on one he comes off as very intelligent even if he seems to be obsessed withAnime. This is his second year at the camp.
Tim Sanders - Male, 16, Brown Hair, Brown Eyes. Tim is a quadriplegic, and requires the most help of any of the campers. He can talk on his own, but otherwise resembles a young Stephen Hawking. On the other hand, if you get him talking about camp, his eyes light up like he's coming to paradise. This is his second year at the camp.
Then there's the forest spirits (somewhat translucent bunnies, foxes, and a coyote).
FWIW,
Ewan
