I was wondering when he was going to come in... Otherwise somebody might try to steal Destiny from him.

Just asking...when a character is listed as "Arrived", does that mean that they've already found the other lost humans, or that they've only just been transported to the Cars world? I need to know this before writing one of my characters' profile.

Already found. It is more or less a tool to make the RP introductions maybe go faster if some choose the "Arrived" option, and gives me an idea of a first post for the RP, whom to include and such.

Alright...so when's the RP going to start? Because I probably won't be able to finish up my characters' profiles until around 24 hours from now...

I can wait on you. I was thinking of doing it during the weekend anyway. I also have to write up one more profile, for the magic user. It's probably going to be sunday evening though. Darn work and its long graveyard shifts.

Name: Maya Summers Age: 18 Make/Model: Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Human: Yes Arrival status: Arrived Ability: Telekinesis (lifting objects just by using her mind, although not as large as a car)/Telepathy (she can talk to people in their minds); NOTE: This does not mean that she is all-powerful. She is just a teenager, just learning how to use her powers. In other words, she is at a very low level and it would take her years to get to a much higher level.
Personality: Rather outgoing, pretty driven when she puts her mind to do something, speaks her mind when she feels that she has to say something, generally wants to help when the going gets tough, has a caring side as well, she's pretty protective of her friends when she feels that they are in danger
Description: Scarlet Red with White markings down her hood and roof. Violet Eyes.
History: Maya appears to be a normal teenage girl of about 18 and about to graduate high school. Her already-chosen major is Interior Design when she goes to college in about a few months. She is quite athletic, slender, and beautiful for a human of African-American descent. Her violet eyes reflect her personality and intelligence.
But not everything is normal with this girl. Maya is a metahuman, or to be more precise, a human with specially-born powers like her telepathic and telekinetic abilities. She has never actually shown them in public, for fear that someone will find out and try to send her away to a laboratory for experimentation, but she has practiced and honed her powers in secret so that she'd be able to use them effortlessly as much as she was able to do so. Maya wants to use her powers for good, if she and any others of her kind will ever be accepted into human society, which she hopes would be in the near future as she is getting tired of hiding.
When she arrives in the Carsverse, she has no idea how she did so. All that she can remember is that she had gone into a deep trance when she was trying to make her powers even more stronger. She lost consciousness and woke up to find that she was not in her room as she believed, but in the desert as well as in a body not her own.

Name: Theo Miller Age: 26 Make/Model: 2003 BMW M5 Human: Yes Arrival status: Arrived. Ability: Bodyshifting (light version of shapeshifting, Theo can change several traits in his body, but nothing too drastic. I can go into more detail if you want.)
Personality: Theo is friendly and social, but not overly so, and his attempts at socializing are frequently hampered by his easily obsessed natured. He can spend many hours or even days burying himself in pursuits that may seem minor to others, and it can take quite an effort to pull him away from these obsessions for a long amount of time.
Description: Dark grey paintjob, brown eyes, he often neglects to clean himself and as a result is covered in a thin layer of dust.
History: Theo grew up around a family of gear heads, especially his father who worked in a local drag strip. As a result, he developed a deep interest in cars and their inner workings, spending many hours watching mechanics do their jobs at the strip's garages. His interest briefly disappeared during his college years, until after he graduated and found himself in financial difficulty. In order to make some extra money, he offered to work as a mechanic for anyone willing to buy his services, and his skills soon made him enough money to open his own small garage, which quickly became one of the most respected in his town.
Theo spent the next few years happily making money doing the thing he loved, until he could afford his first fancy car, a new BMW. Well, actually, it was damaged, worn-out, and being sold for relatively cheap, but Theo managed to get over that with nearly a week of obsessive wrench-turning, until the sports sedan was in nearly pristine condition. Ready to drive it for the first time, Theo turned on the engine only to be enveloped by sparks of blue lightning shooting out of the dashboard.
He woke up to find himself transformed into his new car, and would have quickly found himself in one of this new world's mental hospitals if he hadn't run into a group of trapped humans just like himself. He spent his free time studying the bodies of this world's vehicular inhabitants, and discovered that their anatomy was close enough to his own world's cars that his mechanical skills could still be applied. As a result, he has found himself in the useful role of a medic/doctor.
--------------------------------
Name: Gina Swain Age: 22 Make/Model: Bell 430 Human: Yes Arrival status: To arrive. Ability: None, aside from heightened senses as a result of being a helicopter.
Personality: Gina is a happy, talkative, and very optimistic character. She always tries to expose the bright side of any situation, and is optimistic to the point of appearing overconfident. However, her optimism also allows her to remain surprisingly calm and rational even in the most difficult of situations.
Description: The top half of her body is painted sky blue except for a few horizontal white stripes, while the bottom half is similarly white with blue stripes. She possesses green eyes carried over from her human form.
History: The first two decades of Gina's life were mostly normal, until she decided to ignore her parents' advice of going into business and instead looked for something more oriented towards the outdoors. She eventually found a job with a nature magazine as a photojournalist, which took her all around the country.
One day, while tracking a herd of deer through mountainous forests, Gina saw a strange light peeking through the trees, like a weaker, second sun. At first she thought that it was a reflection or artificial source of some kind, but walking in its direction didn't seem to make it come any closer. Confused, she finally decided to take a photo of the strange phenomenon. A split-second after pressing the camera's shutter release, she suddenly blacked out, and woke up somewhere else...
EDIT: Changed Gina's model

Name: Samuel Wallace Age: 25 Make/Model: Land Rover Discovery '12 Human: No
Personality: Samuel, or Sam as everyone calls him is rather outgoing. He tries to help those he figures that are in need of his help, and can be defensive when it comes to other users, having gotten some distrust of them from his past.
Description: Dark grey main coat, green eyes. He goes for the most inconspicuous look so that while people give him a second look, he is avoiding a third and fourth look.
History: Sam's trouble begun from the beginning. It was rare that a 'futuremodel' was born, a model which was bit ahead of its peers. Because of the looks of the model, it was believed that his mother had cheated, both her and Sam's father being Land Rover Discovery cars, but Sam seemed to be a regular chimera, an obvious mix of the Land Rover Discovery, and Range Rover sport. As the LR3 model came a decade later and he resembled them for the most part, things were slightly easier as growing older.
But this was not his only trouble. His mother was a user, but only few really knew, but his father knew but had hoped that Sam wouldn't take after his mother in that aspect. As he began to show the talent for the magic, they moved to more suburban so that they could be in relative peace and allow him to learn. He received training from his mother and her side of the family, and while he is not a high-level user, he does his research and tends to be creative. He favors the school of alteration and mysticism, to be able to alter something to some extend, not to be mistaken with telekinetics, and mysticism is to detect energy and spirits that most do not even register at any extend.
He had detected the strange flux of energy, and soon found Maxwell and Liana. He quickly helped them, and the others that came, to get a job, rent few apartments, and get orientated and help them get back home.

No problem, I can wait...I just hope everyone else is still interested lol. BTW, when I first read Samuel's model, I thought that you had made a typo until I read about the futuremodel thing in his history . Interesting idea for a character.

RP post up, since I think things will be slow enough anyway for the RP, the shift is short enough anyway, and the RP can miss me for the few hours anyway.

Changed. Sorry, I had figured the explanation I had left for Tracker would get to most if not all the players.
