Your name: Catherine! Best method of contact: plurk (catherinesmells) or AIM (stoptheworld26) Character’s name: Issac Prefect Canon: The Factory Classification: Boat Arrival AU information: Prefect has lived his entire life on the compound of a polygamist cult somewhat derived from Mormonism. He was raised in a family with five mothers, and in all has twenty-two brothers and sisters left on the mainland of the united states when the disaster struck. His father was often around, but between his five wives, twenty three children, and various cult duties, was always more of an abstract symbol of a father, than any kind of actual, personally involved parent. Prefect got to see him talking to other adults, at meal times, and he got to hear him speak during prayers and family gatherings. That was about it.
His education has been... well... cult administered, so there are certain things that he is good at, and certain things he is very, very bad at. Basically, his reading/writing/arithmetic is all excellent, and he can pretty much recite the entire bible to you at will, but... he's not so great when it comes to science. Or History. Or just the basic life lessons that you accumulate from not growing up living in a cult.
Since he was in his mid-teens he's worked several jobs throughout the Compound. In his early years he assisted with agricultural work on a small patch of farmland, before being progressed to feeding and caring for the chickens and goats kept on the compound. In his early twenties his extreme devotion to the bible and the cult, led to his being assigned as a teacher to the children who were being born on the compound, as well as being entrusted to lead the mid-morning daily prayer sessions (which invariably involved copious weeping and the casting out of demons and the proclamation of the glory of subservience to the higher call of the lord.)
It was after several years of this that he was moved into his current career, and the one that saw him in international waters when the pandemic struck. Prefect was in the process of being dispatched for his first stint as a missionary for the cult when the outbreak happened. Just before leaving, he had been assigned two wives, one as a token of God's gratitude for his fealty to the compound and devotion to their work, and the second as a promise, for the rewards he would reap when he returned from his service as an evangelist. He has kissed them both on the cheek, and that is as close as he has ever been to having sex.
He has a lot of mixed feelings about this.
