Default OOC - Isla de paraiso (low cp survival horror)

This thread is posted for initial reqruitment, campaign organization, character acception and later OOC talk for campaign IsladeParaiso.

Background.
You are on a vacation on a beautiful tropical island. For past few days you have been on a camping/hiking trip with your guide and small group of other vacationers. As you are preparing to return to the main settlement from the wilderness things get dicey!

Game system info.
GURPS. Using Telegraphic attack from MA. Will be using extra effort in combat rules. Will heckle people with lot of HT and fright check rules.

It is an introductionary campaign for my real life gaming group. And I am planning to give them premade characters to make things easier. I would really appreciate if you would take one of those chars from this pack. So I could have a test run.

http://www.smallfiles.org/download/4...raiso.rar.html

(Sorry for the maybe a bit uninspired names these guys have, you can change those of course)

If you really want to build your own. Then chars must be built on 50 cp + 25 in disads (5 quirk max included). It is suitable if they have one aspect of survival decently covered (will, health, running or fighting etc.) but the goal is to make them not too much of a ranger. Game is going to be about average joes and janes in a bad situation. Semi-useful or useless background skills and advantages are encouraged! (Like profession:fashion designer etc. :D)

Wow. Does it show how broken a human being I am that I am more interesting in playing knowing the gamemaster posts while snookered?

Well we got all got our grammar (and other) problems. Time to sleep now. See you tomorrow :D.

Edit:@Lemminglord
Apologies for this amazingly pointless and cheeky post. Seems I was in an impertinent mood yesterday. (And we can guess the reason)

Lebowski - C
Laverne B+
Ed D
Bobby B-
Tweety C+
Gordon D+
Fonzy B

My Top choice turns out to be.... Laverne!

She has some major things I look for in a character..

1) she has characteristics I've never played before... namely fat.
2) she is a medic...
3) she has my favorite gurps advantage...thrice! Gizmosx3!!!
4) I think I found a bonus point... since first aid defaults off of physician, raising her first aid skill to 14 should only be 7 pts yeah?

Cons... not sure about her personality... she is charitable, fearless and has common sense...but not too many points in skills which might indicate a younger woman just out of college..but who has clearly already had hospital and administration experience... Hmmmmm....

If it's a tropical island shouldn't Edward have Survival(Jungle) instead of Woodlands?

Slingshot info's wrong on damage, accuracy, and range.
