elite_muses: A Formal Introduction

standardblackHi...uh...I’m not exactly what you’d call a social butterfly as far as introductions go, so I’ll just get the basics out of the way and we can move on. Because...y’know...I’m probably the least interesting guy on the planet. You don’t wanna listen to me ramble, trust me.
My name’s Jack Sheppard. I’m a doctor, a spinal surgeon specifically out of Los Angeles. I was also one of the survivors of the crash of Oceanic Airlines flight 815 out of Sydney. According to the pilot, who died about sixteen hours after the crash, we hit trouble about six hours in when the plane’s radio went out. They tried to make for Fiji instead, but turbulence hit and sent us nearly a thousand miles off course.
If there’s been any attempt to find us by the authorities, they’ve been looking for us all in the wrong place.
A total of about forty eight of us lived through the whole thing...that total’s dwindled down to forty three, but went back up to forty four with the birth of Aaron Littleton, Claire’s baby...I wish I could say I had a hand in his birth, but I didn’t. The number grew to forty seven when we discovered that the tail section of the plane, which broke off during the crash, ended up on the other side of the island instead of in the water like we originally thought.
Just recently, the number went back down to forty five when two of the tail section survivors were shot and killed. This island...there’s people here, people that were here a long time before us. There’s a lot about this place that’s more dangerous than anyone could have imagined....things outside the day to day struggle of surviving.
And that’s all we’re trying to do right now...stay alive, and the deaths in our group are a testament to how difficult that’s become. I didn’t ask for it...I tried like hell to run from it, but everyone here is depending on me to help them do just that. The people in this group have turned to me for leadership, for guidance...for protection. I don’t know if I can do that...but I know that I have to try.
And as God as my witness, and anyone else that’s listening if there really *is* anyone up there...I’m not going to lose another one of my people to this place. Period.
OOC: This Jack is from an AU RP version of LOST as we know it, one that is currently developing over inall_thisrunning. In this world, there were TWO prisoners being transported on Flight 815, one of them being Faith Lehane (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
msattentionspan). The second, unknown prisoner being transported was Kate Austen. This version of Jack is open and available for RP. With Season 3 on the horizon, however, there *may* be occasions where I post as canon!Jack...these posts, however, will be clearly labeled. Outside of those, expect RP!Jack to make most of his appearances in here. ;)
