I doubt there is anyone who has not been affected by the news from Japan over the last couple of days. Many of us have friends who are still waiting to hear about the safety of loved ones.
Out of respect for this tragedy, we would prefer it if your character does not suffer any serious personal trauma as a result of the earthquake. Tsunami look outs are absolutely fine -- they live on an island in a geographically unstable location after all -- but please no loss of family or friends back at home.
If anyone is looking for a great way to help in Japan, the Red Cross is accepting donations! Their American site is
here or you can text REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation. The Canada equivalent is
here, with a $5 donation being made for texts saying ASIA to 30333.
