Fantastical Creature Reality Show Contestant Sneak Peek #7: Lorimer the Sorcerer Lorimer is draped in an amethyst-purple robe and black cape. His beach-brown hair is combed back revealing a small scar on his forehead. High cheekbones accent his intelligent amber eyes. Interviewer: Good morning, Lorimer. Do you really think a sorcerer is a fantastical creature? Lorimer: I’ve made it to the final round of the application process, so the producers agree with me that it is. I think the key element in being considered a fantastical creature is magic. Though I’m not made from magic, I create it. Interviewer: That’s true, and it brings me to Sara Barnes from Montana. She asks, "What kind of magic can you do?" Lorimer: I have many abilities, but my main interest is in illusion. Interviewer: What about fireballs, ice storms and other spells everyone is familiar with. Lorimer: That’s war stuff and not useful in the real world. I practice magic I can use everyday. What would I do with that other stuff on the island anyway? Interviewer: Umm… Start cooking fires, fill an icebox, cool down on a hot day? Lorimer: Illusions are more powerful yet subtle spells. Standing out with that big stuff would just get me kicked off the island fast. Interviewer: Of all the interesting creatures we’ve seen so far, why should viewers want you on the show? Lorimer: Magical creatures don’t perform magic. I do. I will provide a show by myself. Imagine what I can bring to a group dynamic! Comments Here |

Fantastical Creature Reality Show Contestant Sneak Peek #6: Bera the Barbarian Priest Wavy, red hair falls along the wide shoulders of Bera’s bone-white, leather vest. Her serious twilight-blue eyes soften when she smiles. She is tall for her race, with long legs and muscular arms used to wielding a heavy mace. Interviewer: Good day, Bera. I’ll begin with some viewer questions. Joe Campbell from Oklahoma wants to know, "How can you participate in a reality show? Shouldn’t it be against your religion or something?" Bera: Aleria can be a bloody world where death can fall from the sky at any moment. We don’t endlessly quibble about irrelevant nuances of dogma. So, no, I don’t believe either of my gods, Din or Thaden would be offended by a game. Interviewer: Dean Adams from Florida asks, "Since you’re a priest, does that mean you have to be honest and good to the other players on the show?" Bera: My people are known for their competitions for city power. Winning is in our blood and it is important to our War and Thunder Gods as well. Interviewer: What will you do with the money if you win the grand prize? Bera: I haven’t thought much of it, to be honest. It’s the title I’m after. Interviewer: Okay then, what will having the title as the first Fantastical Creature Reality Show winner do for you? Bera: You don’t have many trophies or ribbons in your home, do you? Never mind. It’s a badge of honor, something to be admired and respected. Interviewer: Why should viewers pick you over the other contestants? Bera: You like to ask this question, I’ve noticed. My worship gives my gods strength and in return they bless me with power. Vote me onto the island and you will have a chance to see their gift to me in action. Comments Here |

Fantastical Creature Reality Show Contestant Sneak Peek #5: Ranzkin the Gnome Like most gnomes, Ranzkin is short, standing at eleven inches high. He wears an ice blue coat with a wide black belt around his ample middle. A conical red hat tops his round head. He has ruddy cheeks, bushy white eyebrows and a long white beard mirroring the triangular aspect of his hat. Interviewer: Good day, Ranzkin. Do you think being a native to the forest will give you an advantage on the island? Ranzkin: Hello. It might be an advantage, but I think I’m fairly rounded as a player considering some things will be quite a bit difficult for a gnome. When it comes to the surviving part of the game, I’ll be fine. Interviewer: Robert Moore from Colorado wants to know, "Will you be using your cleaning ability to try and make the other contestants want to keep you around to pick up after them?" Ranzkin: Umm, we’ll be on an island. I don’t think there’ll be much to pick up. And all gnomes are not alike. I’m not a house gnome. I’m a forest gnome. Interviewer: Mary Story from Georgia asks, "Will your size prevent you from winning challenges?" Ranzkin: Some challenges I’ll be more apt to win because of my normal, non-gigantic size. Others I won’t have a snowflake’s chance in summer. For the most part, I don’t think it will be an issue. Interviewer: Being confident is a plus. What do you think your chances are for getting voted onto the island? Ranzkin: I’m surprised I’ve made it this far. With over half of the applicants remaining making the show, I think my chances are pretty good at this point. Interviewer: Why should the viewers vote you onto the island? Ranzkin: The viewers should pick whom they please. If it happens to be me, I’ll be grateful. If not, I’ll return to my toadstool knowing I did my best. Comments Here |

Fantastical Creature Reality Show Contestant Sneak Peek #4: Haimes the Scree A mini-demon who slipped through chaos into Aleria, Haimes is truly from another dimension. His gray hunched over body sports a hard brown plate, matching the furless skin on top of his head. The pointy striped tail and narrow, long ears make his appearance rat-like. Yellow eyes glint above an extended jaw full of razor sharp teeth. Interviewer: I hope you don’t mind us doing things a little differently this week, Haimes. We’ve asked for questions from our viewers. Robin Stoller from New Jersey wants to know, "How can anyone from such a cowardly race as scree think he can win Survive an Island?" Haimes: Some may call us cowardly, but I think of it as prudent. There’s a reason so many scree thrive the hostile caverns belowground. Interviewer: It’s interesting to find a scree applying for the show because your kind prefers to travel in groups. How do you plan to win when you’re on your own on the island? Haimes: No one is better at survival than scree. It’s more than a numbers game; it’s instinct. Something I have that the other contestants won’t. Interviewer: Okay, well that’s… something I guess. When it comes to the competitions, what types will you do well? Haimes: I’ve never watched these kinds of shows before. I’m not sure what the competitions will be like but as a scree, there is one thing I’ve learned- I just need to run faster than one of the other guys. Surviving isn’t about winning as much as it is about not being the dead weight everyone picks to vote off the island. Interviewer: Steven Peeler from Texas asks, "Scree are usually only dangerous in numbers. What do you as a lone scree think you’ll be able to accomplish?" Haimes: I don’t have to be dangerous. Those will be the first guys picked to be voted out. I’m the guy everyone wants to be next to at the end. All I have to do is stay out of the fighting. I don’t think this will be hard at all. Interviewer: Why do you want the viewers to pick you for this game? Haimes: We are all more than what we’ve been labeled. If I get on the island, I will win this game and prove it to the world.
