Inescapable. No Rules, No Rescue - My version

I saw Viveros's video about this game (Inescapable Is The Worst Game I've Ever Played & I'm Making That Your Problem Now) and I started to brainstorm how this characters could shine or be more interesting, in my opinion.

I came up with these ideas for the characters.

Harrison Finn Tailor

- A British Bus Driver. He is socially awkward yet gentle and polite, something that wouldn't change much depending on the routes. As the days pass by and he interacts with others on the island, he'll get more out of his shell and form friendships with the other contestants.

- He joined the competition so he would be able to move from his shitty home in one of the worst neighborhoods in London.

Maria Strauss

- A German Programmer who works from home to take care of her little siblings. She is bubbly and sociable, the opposite of Harrison, and cares deeply for others as an older sister would.

- She joined the show so she would be able to move out of her abusive household with her little siblings.

Annika Eklund

- A Swedish House Maid. A kind, sweet yet somewhat dumb girl (Think Lindsay from Total Drama). She finds great pleasure in taking care of others and finds most household chores as entertaining and relaxing. She is very strong yet won't use her strength unless absolutely necessary.

- She joined Inescapable so she would have enough funds to sue one of her clients for sexual harassment.

Daan Zoetemelk

- A Dutch Professional Biker Athlete. On the outside, he is very outgoing and positive and somewhat dumb. However, he tends to be very cold and cruel when it comes to anyone standing in his way or interrupting his plans, often thinking of very harsh decisions or solutions to simple problems.

- He joined the competition so he would have enough money to settle a case in which he brutally and 'accidentally' broke both of his competitor's legs who won first place in the last race he was in.

Eva Tamm

- A Estonian Social Media Influencer. She became viral thanks to her meme and since then has been addicted to the spotlight that came with it. She loves being the center of attention (so she won't be 'forgotten'), and it's a complete social butterfly to everyone around her.

- She joined the show, so she'll have enough funds to start her new life as a professional social media influencer.

Francisca Carrasco

- A Portuguese Mechanic. She is a single mother who takes no shits from anybody and is very confident and proud of her job skills. She cares deeply for her family, especially her little daughter, and is fiercely protective of anyone she considers close.

- Joined Inescapable so she would have enough money to provide a better life for her child.

Giovanni Lombardi

- An Italian 'Businessman'. A devoted Catholic who has very progressive ideals and worldviews. He is a passionate feminist, LGBTQ+ ally, and a kind gentleman who would never dare to hurt a fly unless it was for self-defense. He is a loving father and husband to his nuclear family. However, his relationship with the rest of his family is very strained.

- Joined Inescapable to get his family out of poverty after some of his failed 'business' ventures caused his family to fall into debt.

Valérie D'Orléans

- A French Heiress. She is the youngest child and the least possible heir to her family's business empire. Outshined by her talented sisters and brothers, she feels extremely inferior in her family full of geniuses and forces herself to appear confident and proud of her abilities in order to protect herself from other's scorn and ridicule.

- She joined the competition, so she'll become an independent entrepreneur to show her capabilities as a leader and prove to her family that she is a capable woman.

Sasha Smith

- A Hacker and Enginner from an unknown origin? It's difficult to tell whether their words are lies or the truth, for they mastered the art of lying to protect themselves.

- They joined the show to get a new identity after a nasty accident from their last 'gig'.

Lumi Ndiaye

- A Finnish Chemist. She is very introverted and somewhat emotionless. Some of it comes from horrible racism she suffered as a black woman. She is very close to her family and is a very passionate activist for equality of races.

- She joined Inescapable to create a charity to fight against discrimination in Finland.

Isak Ringvold

- A Norwegian Jeweler. Born into an affluent family of professional jewelers and with a natural talent for jewel crafting and design, Isak came to hate his gift due to the extreme pressures from his family and social circles to continue his family's traditions. It's been years since he ran away from his home to partake in his dream for acting in professional plays, for he loves the exaggerated and dramatic personalities he has observed on the very scarce free time he had before he fled.

- He joined the show so he would be able to fund his studies in acting and eventually debut as a professional actor.

La predicación de la soberbia.

Giovanni Papini

“Hermanos y hermanas. Vimos en los días precedentes cuál es la forma y gravedad de los siete pecados capitales o pecados mortales. Hoy deseo deciros una verdad que nadie ha dicho hasta ahora al pueblo cristiano. Quiero anunciar, en esta iglesia consagrada a Nuestra Señora de la Humildad, que en realidad de verdad esos siete pecados se reducen a uno solo: el pecado de la soberbia.

"Considerad, por ejemplo, los modos y motivos de la ira. Este horrible pecado no es más que un efecto y un escape de la soberbia. El hombre soberbio no tolera ser contrariado, se siente ofendido por cualquier contraste y hasta por la más justa reprensión; el hombre soberbio siempre quiere vencer y superar a quien considera inferior, y por esto se ve arrastrado a las injurias, a la cólera y la rabia.

"Pensad en otro pecado igualmente odioso y maldito: la envidia. El soberbio no puede concebir que otro hombre tenga cualidades o fortunas de las que él carece; no puede soportar, a causa de su ilusión de que está sobre todos, que otros estén en sitios más elevados que el suyo, que sean más alabados y honrados, que sean más poderosos y ricos. Por tanto la envidia no es más que una consecuencia y manifestación de la so-berbia.

"También se manifiesta claramente la soberbia en el repugnante pecado de la lujuria. El lujurioso es el que quiere someter a su capricho y a su placer al mayor número posible de mujeres dóciles y complacientes. La mujer lujuriosa es la que quiere someter a su carne y a su vanidad al mayor número de hombres robados al derecho o al deseo de otras mujeres. El frenesí de la posesión carnal se funda en la ilusión de una dominación recíproca, o sea, en la libido dominandi que es, a su vez, el verdadero fundamento de la soberbia. Poseer quiere decir ser dueño, o sea, superior; ser amado significa ser preferido a los demás, es decir: ser considerado y adorado como criatura privilegiada. Y todo esto no es otra cosa que manifestación y satisfacción de ciega soberbia.

"Ya es más difícil reconocer a la soberbia en el innoble pecado de la gula. Mas, como de costumbre, también en esto viene en nuestra ayuda la Sagrada Biblia. Cuando la serpiente, símbolo de la soberbia, quiso tentar a Eva, ¿a qué medio recurrió además de mentirosas promesas? Presentó a la mujer una fruta deseable a la vista y dulce para comer. Recordad también que en la última cena Nuestro Señor ofreció pan mojado, es decir, el bocado preferido, al traidor, y esto después de haber dicho que Satanás, o sea, la soberbia, había entrado en Judas.

Por tanto, los que ponen sus delicias en llenar el vientre más allá de lo que se precisa para saciar el hambre, están emparentados con los soberbios; en tan bestial proeza o manía buscan una prueba de su riqueza, de su capacidad o valer, de su arte de engullir y saborear, resumiendo, de su superioridad.

"También la avaricia, hermanos míos, o la voracidad por el dinero y demás bienes terrenos, se halla estrechamente relacionada con el pecado de la soberbia. El hombre avaro desea hacer todo suyo y no ceder a los hermanos ni siquiera una parte minima de su tesoro. Su sueño supremo consiste en llegar a ser el más rico de todos en medio de una turba de pobres, pues sabe que en nuestro mundo idiota y perverso el rico es respetado, es adulado, honrado, implorado y servido como un monarca. Para el avaro la riqueza es antes que nada un medio para saciar su avidez de dominio, su torpe vanidad, su loca soberbia.

"Ahora no nos queda mas que volver nuestra consideración hacia la vergonzosa pereza. Como bien lo pensáis, el perezoso es el ser humano que anhela o pretende vivir a costa del trabajo de los demás, como si tuviera un derecho natural al tributo de seres que le son inferiores, como si el trabajo fuera algo indigno de su orgullosa superioridad; perezoso es el que nada hace y nada emprende para mejorarse a sí mismo, para mejorar su alma y su condición, y en esto fácil es descubrir la implícita persuasión de que ya es perfecto, de que es mejor que quienes están a su alrededor, pero en ésa su loca certeza notáis fácilmente la diabólica afirmación de la omnipresente soberbia.

"Espero haber demostrado, aunque haya hablado brevemente, la verdad de mi aserto: hay un solo pecado en séptuple forma, el homicida y deicida pecado de la soberbia.

"De todo lo que se ha dicho podemos deducir una pavorosa conclusión. Los cristianos son llamados a imitación de Cristo, quien fue, antes que nada, portaestandarte sublime de la humildad: siendo Dios quiso humillarse hasta el punto de encarnarse en figura de hombre en la Tierra. Pero los cristianos, la mayor parte de ellos, son pecadores, y en cuanto tales se cubren con las diversas vestiduras y hábitos de la soberbia, que fue la culpa máxima de Lucifer. Por tanto, dejan de lado la imitación de Cristo para imitar a Satanás. Nosotros, todos nosotros, ostentando el nombre de cristianos somos imitadores del Demonio".

Diciendo esto el predicador apartó el velo que cubría su rostro y pude entrever dos mejillas pálidas, surcadas por gruesas lágrimas. Luego se arrodilló en el piso del púlpito y continuó diciendo:

"En el caso de que yo, al exponeros esta doctrina creída por mí verdadera y nueva, haya caído como sucede a todos en el horrible pecado de la soberbia, aquí postrado pido perdón Cristo, mi Señor y Maestro, y también a vosotros, hermanos y hermanas, que con tanta y tan humilde paciencia me habéis escuchado."

[zesty-lime-scout]

the walk back to the base was quiet, except for the faint crunch of gravel under Giovanni's white but now slightly worn and dirty shoes. Though his pace was unhurried, his thoughts raced. Lime had sounded...off. gio wouldn't admit to outright worry...such things didn’t suit a man of his stature...but the boy had a way of pulling at his carefully guarded emotions

Arriving at his studio, Gio opened the door to his office, seeing the boy taking refuge there for a while. It was modest for an office...barely enough room for his sleek mahogany desk and the shelves crammed with books, magazines, and scripts. yet the atmosphere here always carried a sense of focus and a hint of minimalism compared to the hoarded messy studio.

he paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the room. noticing lime himself and the shelf beside him, its contents slightly askew. a scrap of paper poking out from between two well-worn volumes. a note he always kept but never bothered to check or remember. He made a note to himself to throw it away later. For now, his focus remained on Lime

"You called? Figlio mio, I thought you’d be back at the base by now. It’s late, a bit too late. You're going to lose sleep I swear- almost everyone has gone home already. What are you still doing out here? Dio santo, you’ll catch your death wandering around at this hour! tell me, is something wrong?"

@silent-grn-snake

Lime perked up, obviously relieved that gio came back, i mean, he actually came back! He wiped his eyes and nose before speaking, making sure he didnt look like he was crying. Psh, hed never cry! Eva!

Aaay, big man himself, Lime cleared his throat, so he sounds better Nothins wrong, er.. just bored? i think, or sumthin.. Uh, Im here cause ya told me too and i didnt wanna make ya upset..

He stood up, and brushed himself off

Well, I'll get goin now... i guess, uh, Cya later spy!
