There's only a week left before The Wild Eight 1.0 comes out - and what a better time to get better acquainted with the survivors of Flight IRIS 816! Each one brings something new and different to the table - so there's something for everyone in The Wild Eight!
William
In the past, William worked as an oil worker in Alaska — so he’s already quite used to the harsh local weather.
As someone who’s used to tough environments, he’s the most capable of the group.
At first, he didn’t want to go back to Alaska — he was planning to settle down in Portland with his wife and daughter, but the financial situation got too tough, so he was forced to go back to work.
After surviving the plane crash WIlliam immediately got himself together and quickly became the leader of the group. A man with a heart of gold and muscles of steel — he stands when others fall.
Cole
Cole lived in Portland and studied to become a history teacher — but soon after graduating he realized that it wasn't his calling.
He decided to devote himself to MMA and after his successful debut he began to win fight after fight. A good right hook has become his favorite way of communicating.
After seven victories in a row, Cole flew out to Anchorage to take part in his eighth fight. Cole is a brash, hot-headed athlete on his way to fame — and he is the strongest one among the Wild Eight.
Vivian
Everyone always said that Vivian had “the Midas touch” — no matter what she did, it always ended up leading to some kind of benefit or profit!
As lucky as she was, her brother Cooper was the complete opposite — he always found himself in the worst possible situations, only to be saved by Vivian, again and again.
When word got out that Cooper was once again in a bad spot, Vivian flew out to Anchorage to get him. This time Lady Luck played a nasty trick on Viv — she might have survived the plane crash, but whatever she faces next will show if luck’s really on her side.
Anna
Anna is an exemplary pharmacology student at the University of Anchorage.
She went to Portland to visit her relatives over the holidays, but on the last day of her visit, a heavy snowfall started.
Anna quietly decided that she would spend the night at her parents' house and fly out tomorrow. That extra day would become the reason she happened to be on flight IRIS 816, which crashed in the middle of the Alaskan wilds.
Anna is the youngest of the group, but thanks to her specialty she knows how to be valuable to the group — she gathers the medicinal herbs and plants and uses them to heal others.
Chang
Always smart and motivated, Cheng was naturally a quick learner — staying one step ahead of his peers in the curriculum.
He chose "Improvement of Alaska's mineral exploration and extraction techniques" as the subject for his bachelor’s thesis. Soon he was contacted by Anchorage Science Centre, who offered Cheng a good position and a promising career. Eight days later Cheng was already getting on a plane.
His smarts will be of great use in any situation - and even here, in the wilderness, he has no equal.
Jeffrey
Jeffrey is a brilliant engineer. He collects various devices and mechanisms, and he loves nothing more than spending time alone with them.
The company he was working for was expanding — a new office was to open in Anchorage. Jeffrey immediately volunteered.
After the crash, Jeffrey was dealing with nature, face to face. A perfectionist at heart, Jeffrey has always believed that whatever he did, everything had to be perfect. so crafting became something he excelled at.
Oliver
Oliver is a successful young entrepreneur, the owner of various well-known ventures.
He flew out to Anchorage to meet with potential investors, but the plane crash delayed the meeting indefinitely.
Oliver doesn’t like to talk about his work now — he knows full well that in the wilderness, it doesn’t matter how much money you have. Only real skills will ensure your survival.
He adapted his exceptional problem solving skills to his new surroundings — proving that no matter the difficulty, any trouble can be eventually resolved.
Robin
Robin is a young biathlete, winning championships eight years in a row.
Together with another member of the national biathlon team, he flew to Anchorage to the training base. They were sitting next door, but when Robin came to his senses after the crash, he saw that his partner was already dead.
Heartbroken and devastated, Robin quickly realized — if he doesn’t pull himself together, he’ll end up just like his partner. Thankfully, years of experience in biathlon have given Robin good marskmanship skills, and his athletic physique allows him to be the fastest and most agile in the group.
