Biography: Only legitimate son of William Kidney. Known in the local Las Vegas wrestling scene as Dread, who was born in 1973 and debuted in a local wrestling promotion at just 16 years old in 1989, since then his father went on to win the Las Vegas championship, a mid card title in a October 1993 house show before he moved on to the slightly bigger N.C.W. (Nevada championship Wrestling) and winning both the tag belts with a wrestler known as "2Kool4U" and winning the inter continental title in the October 1994 pay per view "Las Vegas vs the world" in a match against Simon Lamont. William Kidney then got signed to the then WCW on December 1996. Participating in a dark match at the start of Halloween havoc 1996.
Michael Kidney was born on October 30th 2006. His mother. Anna Kidney died during childbirth. Leading William to rise his son on his own, Retiring for wrestling for seven years and working as a store manager in a las vegas best buy, Michael began to go to school at the age of 3, Completing kindergarten before he began to have home school from age six to fourteen while his father was working on smaller promotions, sometimes working in northern Mexico in CMLL house shows as a jobber or a tag team partner to a enhancement talent wrestler called Gringo Caliente. Traveling around the southern usa and northern Mexico as a relatively unknown indie wrestler before retiring at age 50 due to a heart condition, settling down and working as a editor for a indie wrestling magazine.
Michael began to train in professional wrestling at 12 years old thanks to his father who told him basic wrestling skills, along with having plenty of footage of his dad's early years, as a young boy he set himself the goal to one day be like his father, the more he grew up the closer he was to debuting professionally.
At the age of 14 he began to study on Southwest Red Rock High School. Keeping a class average of A and beginning to round up young men and woman his age to sign up for his own wrestling promotion known as "Total Xplosive Wrestling" (T.X.W). A backyard wrestling promotion run in his backyard with the approval of his father, the promotion is currently on a indefinite hiatus after last week the world champion 'Steve' changed states.
Michael Learned to cook at a very young age thanks to YouTube tutorials and the fact his father tried to teach him to be as independent as possible in case he wouldn't be home on time, he started off making himself sandwiches before learning to use the stove unsupervised at 9 years old. He learned to use a oven by himself at 10 years old. He partly financed his backyard ring by selling popcorn to other students around his school.
His interest in camera work started when he was a child and got his first phone. He filmed small short movies with his toys and action figures. That interest carried over to his teenage years where he searched the internet for camera techniques to use to portray force and weight on a otherwise dull impact, researching rules of filmography to use to tie small storylines together.
During a match for his YouTube channel he was supposed to leap off a ladder into a table. But he missed and landed on his knees into concrete, scraping his knees and losing a match he was supposed to win in order to finish the match as fast as possible, he only scrapped his knees but he was able to walk all the way into his bedroom and put anti bacterial gel on his injuries before bandaging them.
he has ben described as a bit of a loner. Spending most of his time working on getting a personal brand of himself. Often spending time looking for clothes that would fit himself and how he's feeling at the moment, has opened up a bit ever since starting high school. He's careless and would rather finish something as quickly as possible if he isn't interested in it.
His closest relationship is with his father, asking him for advice on life in general to him and looking up to him with appreciation for what he's done for him.
He tries to find the shortest path to a problem. Even if it means having to resolve the same problem more times down the road. Is patient and tries to be as ‘cool’ as possible. Uses a lot of 90’s expressions.
Advantages: thanks to his training since he reached twelve years old he has High stamina, slightly above average strength and basic wrestling skills
Disadvantages: Is currently mildly injured with scraped knees with potential to be infected, slowing his movement down a bit

Hi gabrielthetrashcat! Welcome to Survival of the Fittest, it good to see you joining us for V9! Unfortunately Michael isn’t ready to go into the game yet as we have some issues we need to address first. So let’s get into it.
I’m going to start by addressing the major issue with this profile. At present it is extremely wrestling focused, and within that focus, it is more focused on Michael’s dad than Michael himself. As the profile is supposed to be about Michael this isn’t ideal. We don’t really have anything about Michael’s life as he grew up or how he discovered hobbies such as music. The profile as it is will need to be rewritten to focus on Michael and his life, rather than his dad’s wrestling career. Which I know probably isn’t what you want to hear especially when combined with what I’ve requested below but I think it will work out better for Michael as a character in the long term.
In regards to William, he’s not going to be able to be a full-time roster member of the WWE, especially not as a signing significant enough that it started the attitude era. He can have done some extra work or taken part in some squash matches as a local talent, or had a brief run as a dark match guy but a full-time run of over a decade won’t be possible as it puts Michael’s father at too high a level of notoriety and fame.
Moving on to some more standard edits:
Male should be capitalised.
Senior or 12th Grade, doesn’t need to be both.
Since you have filming down already you don’t need to include camerawork as this would come under filming.
On the appearance we a pair of issues, a lack of details and random capitalisation. For the random capitalisation you’ll need to reread the profile and keep an eye for them.
Your capitalisation in general is messy throughout the profile, I’d suggest that you reread everything closely to get these as we have instances where things such as Williams gimmick name or Silver Springs aren’t capitalised but then a word like wounded has a capital letter in the middle of a sentence.
The lack of detail is a bit more work as you need to expand on what we have. The best way to see what you’re required to do is to look at profiles that have already been approved or from V8 to see what you’re missing, but we need more details on his face, ears, eyes, cheeks etc. you’re creating a picture of what this character looks like for everyone else.
Another thing here is that everything is a sentence fragment. All of the profile should be written in full sentences, we don’t want to be seeing things such as “usually wears black shoes”.
The appearance as written is also a bit strange as it sounds like Michael is wearing trousers above shorts above underwear, which is a lot of layers for daily wear in Las Vegas and I think would get uncomfortable quick.
It makes sense for Michael to be interested in wrestling but we’re not actually given a reason for what he enjoys about it, we’re told he finds it amazing but I’d like to know why he thinks that. Also wrestling is very broad in terms of styles and performers, what are some of his favourite promotions and who are some of his favourite wrestlers? Why does he prefer them?
Michael’s cooking and filming interests have the same problem as his wrestling one, in that we lack detail as to why he likes them and what he enjoys about them, so you’ll need to expand all of this. With regards to his cooking hobby at the moment he doesn’t seem to be doing anything that would constitute it being a hobby, he’s just making himself food to live.
As previously mentioned music is listed as a hobby but doesn’t appear in the profile at all so will need to have a paragraph added in to the biography.
For some ideas of what other details should be included in Michael’s profile:
What is he like in terms of personality?
Does he have friends at Red Rock and what is he like around them?
What were his elementary and middle school years like?
What does he plan to do once he graduates from Red Rock?
What’s his relationship with his father like?
For all advantages and disadvantages anything that is put down in this section also needs to appear in the biography in some form. So when you say he’s impulsive and stubborn we’d need to have this talked about within the profile, probably when we talk about Michael’s personality, as currently there’s no indication of him being impulsive and stubborn. This is the same for the loophole’s disadvantage although I also don’t know what you mean with that one so it will need to be rewritten to make more sense.
And that is everything on this pass, I know it looks like a lot but you seem eager so I’m sure you’ll be able to work through them. Post back here once you’ve made the edits and I’ll take another look!

This is all one sentence and it’s massive. It also ends with him beginning to attend Red Rock which is unrelated to the rest and can be moved into its own sentence.Michael began to train in professional wrestling thanks to his father who told him basic wrestling skills, along with having plenty of footage of his dad's early years, as a young boy he always found wrestling to be amazing and the business made him more enthralled the more he grew up, at the age of 14 he began to study on Southwest Red Rock High School.

Alright Michael is looking better but we still have some work to do before he’s going to be ready for the game. Generally it’s a lack of detail about what he’s like as a person and why he enjoys the things he does that’s holding him back. But we’ll address that when we hit those points.
But first, Male still needs to be capitalised in gender.
In grade you need to put either senior or 12th grade, not both.
For the appearance I can see that you’ve put an abduction outfit down now, which is a good start, but we still have the other problems of all the sentences being fragments and a lack of detail. What’s Michael’s face shape? What shape are his eyes and lips etc? What race is Michael as well.
For the fragments issue you just need to convert what you have into full sentences. So the first couple of sentences would look like this:
“Michael is 5’11” tall and weighs 170 lbs. He has an average facial structure although his nose is noticeably crooked and slightly hooked at the end.”
Again we need information about why Michael likes wrestling and further details about what styles he likes, what wrestlers are his favourites etc.
The part about the backyard wrestling promotion is fine, but the part about last week doesn’t need to be there, and I’m not sure why you’ve put Steve in quotations as presumably that’s his real name and isn’t dubious information, so that can be removed.
The cooking hobby still has the same problems from the first round, in that we’re not told why Michael enjoys cooking or how he takes part in the hobby now. Some example details you can include are things like what cuisines he likes, what dishes he likes to cook, and details like if he prefers learning new dishes and perfecting ones he already knows, details such as that can really add a lot to a character and tell us more about their personality.
This is the same issue the new stop motion animation hobby has, we’re not given enough detail about how he practices or takes part in the hobby or what he likes about it. So along with the extra details about his cooking hobby we need more details about this too.
Music is in the hobbies and interests list but it isn’t present in the profile, so it will need to be added with a full paragraph explaining what got Michael into music, what he likes about it, favourite genres and bands etc. Alternatively, it can be removed from the hobbies and interests list if you don’t have anything specific for it but I’ll leave that decision up to you.
In regards to it being unknown if the video is available, while the general public would not know, the profile itself knows, so if there’s a video of it somewhere it should be noted down here. It can be as simple as saying the match was never uploaded but a video exists on Michael’s hard drive or he can have deleted it, whatever you want as long as some explanation exists.
We also need some of these details added to the profile to expand on Michael as a character, as we still have a very limited idea of him as a person, currently everything in his life revolves around wrestling, which is fine, people can have one passion they pursue above all others but even with those people there are other aspects to them as people, and we want fully formed people for SOTF characters. So any of the below would be great to see covered in the profile, although really I’d advise that you think about and add all of these in.
What is Michael like in terms of personality?
Does he have friends at Red Rock and what is he like around them?
What were his elementary and middle school years like?
What does he plan to do once he graduates from Red Rock?
What’s his relationship with his father like?
I can see that you changed the advantages and disadvantages a little bit from last time but we still have the same problem of the perfectionist disadvantage not appearing at all in the profile. Wounded also does not need to be capitalised.
That’s everything I caught on this go through but I am going to advise you to take your time when you going through these edits as a bunch of these were things from the previous round that you missed for whatever reason. So I’d suggest taking the list and copying it into notepad or a Google doc or something along those lines and removing each request out once you’ve made it as that will allow you to see what you still have to do. It will also save you time in the long run as you won’t have to go over the same things again.
But yeah post back here once you’re done and I’ll take another look at Michael, although I may be a bit slower to respond due to the holiday season.
But first, Male still needs to be capitalised in gender.
In grade you need to put either senior or 12th grade, not both.
For the appearance I can see that you’ve put an abduction outfit down now, which is a good start, but we still have the other problems of all the sentences being fragments and a lack of detail. What’s Michael’s face shape? What shape are his eyes and lips etc? What race is Michael as well.

“Michael is 5’11” tall and weighs 170 lbs. He has an average facial structure although his nose is noticeably crooked and slightly hooked at the end.”
Championship should be capitalised and midcard is one wordLas Vegas championship, a mid card title
Raise not rise. Also in this sentence you can put a comma after 2006, mother and childbirth. Then a full stop after own. As this is all one linked event we’re talking about.Michael Kidney was born on October 30th 2006. His mother. Anna Kidney died during childbirth. Leading William to rise his son on his own,
Las Vegas and Best Buy should all be capitalised as they’re names.Retiring for wrestling for seven years and working as a store manager in a las vegas best buy,
Completing doesn’t need a capital letter as it’s following on from a comma, unless the word following the comma is a name it doesn’t need to be capitalised. It is also working for rather than working on.Michael began to go to school at the age of 3, Completing kindergarten before he began to have home school from age six to fourteen while his father was working on smaller promotions,
Again this is a name so Caliente should be capitalised.called Gringo caliente.
Southern USA and Northern Mexico.Traveling around the southern usa and northen mexico as a relatively unkown indie wrestler
I think you typo’d here as you’ve got hearth condition instead of heart condition which is what it should be.retiring at age 50 due to a hearth condition
I pointed this out in the last round but it looks like you missed it. This sentence can have the part about studying at Red Rock moved into its own sentence as it doesn’t fit the context of the rest of the sentence.Michael began to train in professional wrestling thanks to his father who told him basic wrestling skills, along with having plenty of footage of his dad's early years, as a young boy he always found wrestling to be amazing and the business made him more enthralled the more he grew up, at the age of 14 he began to study on Southwest Red Rock High School.
Again we need information about why Michael likes wrestling and further details about what styles he likes, what wrestlers are his favourites etc.
The part about the backyard wrestling promotion is fine, but the part about last week doesn’t need to be there, and I’m not sure why you’ve put Steve in quotations as presumably that’s his real name and isn’t dubious information, so that can be removed.
Learned doesn’t need to be capitalised.Michael Learned to cook at a very young age thanks to YouTube
The cooking hobby still has the same problems from the first round, in that we’re not told why Michael enjoys cooking or how he takes part in the hobby now. Some example details you can include are things like what cuisines he likes, what dishes he likes to cook, and details like if he prefers learning new dishes and perfecting ones he already knows, details such as that can really add a lot to a character and tell us more about their personality.
This is the same issue the new stop motion animation hobby has, we’re not given enough detail about how he practices or takes part in the hobby or what he likes about it. So along with the extra details about his cooking hobby we need more details about this too.
Music is in the hobbies and interests list but it isn’t present in the profile, so it will need to be added with a full paragraph explaining what got Michael into music, what he likes about it, favourite genres and bands etc. Alternatively, it can be removed from the hobbies and interests list if you don’t have anything specific for it but I’ll leave that decision up to you.
It would be on a boulder, also is this in his backyard? In which case why is there just a boulder lying around? “Cut him further deep” doesn’t actually make sense grammatically, you’d want to say some like “but a few sharp edges cut deeper into his leg”. And instead of incrusted you can just say stuck into his knee.But he missed and landed in a nearby boulder. Scrapping off superficial skin layers, but a few sharp edges managed to cut him further deep, and some pieces of the rock accidentally incrusted themselves into his knee,
In regards to it being unknown if the video is available, while the general public would not know, the profile itself knows, so if there’s a video of it somewhere it should be noted down here. It can be as simple as saying the match was never uploaded but a video exists on Michael’s hard drive or he can have deleted it, whatever you want as long as some explanation exists.
We also need some of these details added to the profile to expand on Michael as a character, as we still have a very limited idea of him as a person, currently everything in his life revolves around wrestling, which is fine, people can have one passion they pursue above all others but even with those people there are other aspects to them as people, and we want fully formed people for SOTF characters. So any of the below would be great to see covered in the profile, although really I’d advise that you think about and add all of these in.
What is Michael like in terms of personality?
Does he have friends at Red Rock and what is he like around them?
What were his elementary and middle school years like?
What does he plan to do once he graduates from Red Rock?
What’s his relationship with his father like?
I can see that you changed the advantages and disadvantages a little bit from last time but we still have the same problem of the perfectionist disadvantage not appearing at all in the profile. Wounded also does not need to be capitalised.
That’s everything I caught on this go through but I am going to advise you to take your time when you going through these edits as a bunch of these were things from the previous round that you missed for whatever reason. So I’d suggest taking the list and copying it into notepad or a Google doc or something along those lines and removing each request out once you’ve made it as that will allow you to see what you still have to do. It will also save you time in the long run as you won’t have to go over the same things again.
But yeah post back here once you’re done and I’ll take another look at Michael, although I may be a bit slower to respond due to the holiday season.

Made some more changes including some personality traits and his relationshipsDeamon wrote: Sun Dec 22, 2024 12:47 pm Alright Michael is looking better but we still have some work to do before he’s going to be ready for the game. Generally it’s a lack of detail about what he’s like as a person and why he enjoys the things he does that’s holding him back. But we’ll address that when we hit those points.
But first, Male still needs to be capitalised in gender.
In grade you need to put either senior or 12th grade, not both.
For the appearance I can see that you’ve put an abduction outfit down now, which is a good start, but we still have the other problems of all the sentences being fragments and a lack of detail. What’s Michael’s face shape? What shape are his eyes and lips etc? What race is Michael as well.
For the fragments issue you just need to convert what you have into full sentences. So the first couple of sentences would look like this:
“Michael is 5’11” tall and weighs 170 lbs. He has an average facial structure although his nose is noticeably crooked and slightly hooked at the end.”
Championship should be capitalised and midcard is one wordLas Vegas championship, a mid card title
Raise not rise. Also in this sentence you can put a comma after 2006, mother and childbirth. Then a full stop after own. As this is all one linked event we’re talking about.Michael Kidney was born on October 30th 2006. His mother. Anna Kidney died during childbirth. Leading William to rise his son on his own,
Las Vegas and Best Buy should all be capitalised as they’re names.Retiring for wrestling for seven years and working as a store manager in a las vegas best buy,
Completing doesn’t need a capital letter as it’s following on from a comma, unless the word following the comma is a name it doesn’t need to be capitalised. It is also working for rather than working on.Michael began to go to school at the age of 3, Completing kindergarten before he began to have home school from age six to fourteen while his father was working on smaller promotions,
Again this is a name so Caliente should be capitalised.called Gringo caliente.
Southern USA and Northern Mexico.Traveling around the southern usa and northen mexico as a relatively unkown indie wrestler
I think you typo’d here as you’ve got hearth condition instead of heart condition which is what it should be.retiring at age 50 due to a hearth condition
I pointed this out in the last round but it looks like you missed it. This sentence can have the part about studying at Red Rock moved into its own sentence as it doesn’t fit the context of the rest of the sentence.Michael began to train in professional wrestling thanks to his father who told him basic wrestling skills, along with having plenty of footage of his dad's early years, as a young boy he always found wrestling to be amazing and the business made him more enthralled the more he grew up, at the age of 14 he began to study on Southwest Red Rock High School.
Again we need information about why Michael likes wrestling and further details about what styles he likes, what wrestlers are his favourites etc.
The part about the backyard wrestling promotion is fine, but the part about last week doesn’t need to be there, and I’m not sure why you’ve put Steve in quotations as presumably that’s his real name and isn’t dubious information, so that can be removed.
Learned doesn’t need to be capitalised.Michael Learned to cook at a very young age thanks to YouTube
The cooking hobby still has the same problems from the first round, in that we’re not told why Michael enjoys cooking or how he takes part in the hobby now. Some example details you can include are things like what cuisines he likes, what dishes he likes to cook, and details like if he prefers learning new dishes and perfecting ones he already knows, details such as that can really add a lot to a character and tell us more about their personality.
This is the same issue the new stop motion animation hobby has, we’re not given enough detail about how he practices or takes part in the hobby or what he likes about it. So along with the extra details about his cooking hobby we need more details about this too.
Music is in the hobbies and interests list but it isn’t present in the profile, so it will need to be added with a full paragraph explaining what got Michael into music, what he likes about it, favourite genres and bands etc. Alternatively, it can be removed from the hobbies and interests list if you don’t have anything specific for it but I’ll leave that decision up to you.
It would be on a boulder, also is this in his backyard? In which case why is there just a boulder lying around? “Cut him further deep” doesn’t actually make sense grammatically, you’d want to say some like “but a few sharp edges cut deeper into his leg”. And instead of incrusted you can just say stuck into his knee.But he missed and landed in a nearby boulder. Scrapping off superficial skin layers, but a few sharp edges managed to cut him further deep, and some pieces of the rock accidentally incrusted themselves into his knee,
In regards to it being unknown if the video is available, while the general public would not know, the profile itself knows, so if there’s a video of it somewhere it should be noted down here.

Ok, so, first of all, thank you for your patience over the holiday period.
But I think we have a bit of a misunderstanding developing in regards to the changes that you need to make to the profile, and I just want to make sure we're on the same page with this. Basically, there are still edits I pointed out in the very first pass that haven't been made, this is stuff like typos or grammatical errors that haven't been fixed and expansions that haven't been added. I don't mind if ypu're missing them by accident or anything like that, but all the edits staff bring up during the critique process do need to be made in order for the profile to be approved.
To that end I just want to put down all the outstanding edits so that we can make sure they are all dealt with before we go any further with the profile, as otherwise I fear we could just end up getting bogged down and slowing the process by going over the same things over and over again.
So let's get to it:
Male needs to be capitalised in gender.
What’s Michael’s face shape? What shape are his eyes and lips etc? What race is Michael?
Please make sure all the sections from appearance onwards use full sentences, so we don't want any fragments or hanging phrases. For example, where you have "Crooked slightly hooked nose," it should instead read something like "Michael is 5’11” tall and weighs 170 lbs. He has an average facial structure although his nose is noticeably crooked and slightly hooked at the end." If you're stuck on this one please don't hesitate to ask me for help and I can go through it with you.
We need information about why Michael likes wrestling and further details about what styles he likes, what wrestlers and promotions are his favourites to watch. Details about how he engages with the hobby outside of his backyard fed, because if he has a backyard fed then he is certainly passionate enough about wrestling to have preferences about things such as this and also be engaging with the hobby on a deeper level. While we're talking about the wrestling the part about last week doesn’t need to be there, and Steve doesn't need to be in quotation marks.
The cooking hobby needs to be expanded, specific things we need are why Michael enjoys cooking or how he takes part in the hobby in the present day. Some example details you can include are things like what cuisines he likes, what dishes he likes to cook, and details like if he prefers learning new dishes and perfecting ones he already knows, details such as that can really add a lot to a character and tell us more about their personality.
This is the same issue the new stop motion animation hobby has, we’re not given enough detail about how he practices or takes part in the hobby or what he likes about it. So along with the extra details about his cooking hobby we need more details about this too. It is also labeled in the profile as camera work still, but that's no longer the hobby, so you'll need to swap that around.
For the advantages and disadvantages we ideally would like to see two for each at a minimum and currently, Michael only has one disadvantage, also for the advantages and disadvantages you will want to give an explanation of how this can be a benefit or hinderance on the island. In regards to a second disadvantage for Michael you could potentially use something about him being a loner and therefore not having many allies he could rely on.
And that is everything, once these edits are all made we can move on with the profile and tighten it up ready to go. Post back here once you've made the edits and I'll take another look for you!

Championship should be capitalised and midcard is one word within this context.Las Vegas championship, a mid card title
Raise not rise. Also in this sentence you can put a comma after 2006, mother and childbirth. Then a full stop after own. As this is all one linked event we’re talking about.Michael Kidney was born on October 30th 2006. His mother. Anna Kidney died during childbirth. Leading William to rise his son on his own,
Las Vegas and Best Buy should all be capitalised as they’re names. Additionally, it would be from wrestling, not for wrestling.Retiring for wrestling for seven years and working as a store manager in a las vegas best buy,
Completing doesn’t need a capital letter as it’s following on from a comma, unless the word following the comma is a name it doesn’t need to be capitalised.Michael began to go to school at the age of 3, Completing kindergarten before he began to have home school from age six to fourteen while his father was working on smaller promotions,
Southern USA and Northern Mexico both need to be capitalised, as they are names of regions.Traveling around the southern usa and northen mexico as a relatively unkown indie wrestler
We need information about why Michael likes wrestling and further details about what styles he likes, what wrestlers and promotions are his favourites to watch. Details about how he engages with the hobby outside of his backyard fed, because if he has a backyard fed then he is certainly passionate enough about wrestling to have preferences about things such as this and also be engaging with the hobby on a deeper level. While we're talking about the wrestling the part about last week doesn’t need to be there, and Steve doesn't need to be in quotation marks.
Learned doesn’t need to be capitalised here as it's in the middle of a sentence.Michael Learned to cook at a very young age thanks to YouTube
The cooking hobby needs to be expanded, specific things we need are why Michael enjoys cooking or how he takes part in the hobby in the present day. Some example details you can include are things like what cuisines he likes, what dishes he likes to cook, and details like if he prefers learning new dishes and perfecting ones he already knows, details such as that can really add a lot to a character and tell us more about their personality.

It is also labeled in the profile as camera work still, but that's no longer the hobby, so you'll need to swap that around.
I gave you these prompts earlier regarding additional details to add to the profile but I don't think I was clear enough on how to incorporate them and that's on me. So for these you'll want to make them paragraphs or combined, for example the details about Michael's personality and if he has friends and what he's like around them can be one combined paragraph. His plans upon graduation can be included at the end after details about his father but it can be in that same paragraph. But again I'll be looking for full detail, not sentence fragments.What is Michael like in terms of personality?
Does he have friends at Red Rock and what is he like around them?
What were his elementary and middle school years like?
What does he plan to do once he graduates from Red Rock?
What’s his relationship with his father like?
For the advantages and disadvantages we ideally would like to see two for each at a minimum and currently, Michael only has one disadvantage, also for the advantages and disadvantages you will want to give an explanation of how this can be a benefit or hinderance on the island.
