SILAS DAVIAN

"DO YOU SEE NO GHOST IN ME AT ALL?"

ABOUT

Name: Ansel Silas Davian
Aliases:
- He goes strictly by Silas (because Ansel is the absolute prissiest thing). It's occasionally shortened to 'Si.'
- You could call him 'Lassie,' but only if you wanted your fingers broken.
- He signs his blog posts with 'Snoopy.'
Age: 22
Gender: Male

PERSONAL

Sexuality: Pansexual
High Concept: A traumatic paranormal encounter turns a longtime troublemaker toward 'investigative journalism.' Now writing scathing blog posts to an embarrassingly small audience.
Occupation: Self-proclaimed journalist and paranormal investigator. The New York Times hasn't picked up on his brilliance yet, so he currently pumps gas at a local station.
Affiliations:
- The Loudwater Exposé Project ('The LEP'), his Blogspot.
- Loudwater Exxon
Backstory: Not much can be said about Silas. In a town like this, his story's largely unremarkable. He was raised in Loudwater without a father figure and was a rowdy, disobedient child. Growing up, he only found comfort in his mother, Tansy. Even in her absence, she is his world and his only solace.

During his school years, he had few friends and was incredibly impersonal with them, drifting from clique to clique haphazardly. He regularly changed his mannerisms to fit the people around him, which led his peers to keep their distance and branded him a liar. He was a little hellion, breaking rules, smoking in the yard, and playing hooky up until his dropping out of high school. Loose on the world, Silas continued to actively oppose the town's authorities - sticking his nose where it didn't belong and bad-mouthing public figures, the police, and the mayor as he saw fit - and he found himself constantly running into trouble. He made a name for himself for his frequent visits to the police station and nosy, eccentric personality.

Then - as is commonplace in Loudwater - something strange happened. In the middle of one lovely, temperate spring, Loudwater went into a tizzy; on a night like no other, during a pleasant walk on a trail near the edge of the forest, Tansy Davian disappeared. She'd seemed to fall off the face of the earth, leaving not a single trace of what befell her. The case stirred up unrest in the already uneasy town, prompting suspicions that she'd been abducted, possibly by a resident of Loudwater itself. In the midst of it all, Silas Davian went eerily and uncharacteristically silent. In the long, anxious days surrounding her vanishing, Silas had been pacing the trails she was fond of, scouring among the leaves for anything as small as a strand of hair. Occasionally, as the days crept toward their ends, and Silas was still venturing dangerously close to the woods, he would hear his mother calling out to him, with a manner of emotions ranging from distressed to cheerful. No stranger to the rumors surrounding Loudwater and highly superstitious, Silas would find himself buried in old books at the library, poring over legends and encyclopedias to find the source.

He presented his somewhat minimal findings to the police, including pictures of trees with torn bark or claw marks, and an abnormal footprint in the mud, but they were almost immediate in their dismissal. Undeterred, Silas took his notes directly to the mayor - but Deckland seemed to dance around his questions, simply assuring him that they're 'working overtime to find her' and that his findings had 'already been considered.' Silas suspected the town to be covering something up after a few more passive-aggressive check-ins with the police force turned up nothing. He took it upon himself to solve the case, and as he discovered more and more irregularities, he started the Loudwater Exposé Project to bring attention to the little town, its dark atmosphere, and its corruption. Needless to say, it isn't doing particularly well - but Silas is as determined as he is chaotic.

BASIC INFORMATION
Name: Jasper Allard
Aliases: "Jazz"
Age: 22
Gender: Male

PERSONAL
Sexuality: Bisexual
High Concept: A failure in life, wasting his days away by stewing in endless pessimism.
Occupation: Cashier at a gas station, occasional part-timer in other places
Affiliations:
* Loudwater Exxon

Backstory: Jasper was born to a middle-class family that was desperate to pretend they were high-class. The children barely ate, just so the parents could have fancy clothing and go to parties for rich people, pretending they're wealthier than they were in actuality.

Early on, Jasper, or "Jazz" as his friends called him, decided he'd study and become someone important, like a doctor or police officer. Skip forward a decade.

Disillusion struck like a train wreck happening in slow-motion. Over his teenage years, he realized studying and meeting expectations aren't easy; as he was in university, he realized he wouldn't be able to pull through. Perhaps the most harrowing was that all of his other siblings had achieved their own dreams, and left town permanently. He was stuck, and that sensation of being trapped only served to enhance his failures. Each one, in his mind, was a giant strike; each victory, in turn, was seen as a tiny and inconsequential achievement. In the end, some part of him decided that winning wasn't worth the effort, and it'd be better to lay back and take it easy while there was still time.

Due to a narrowminded hope, Jasper continued to try, however. The virtue of persistence or determination; or maybe the raw gumption of someone who really doesn't know when to quit.

However, trying isn't the same as doing. Due to the distress inside of him, he failed in the end. He flunked out of university, subsequently succumbing to a dark abyss of substance abuse and social isolation. This continued for almost a month until he realized his parents wouldn't be able to pay for him. Alas, the bills wouldn't pay for themselves. For the first time in over a month, he stepped out to the world, and to everyone who knew him, he seemed to be as mordant as the grim reaper, and twice as bitter.

He took up work at a nearby gas station near the edge of town, where a bunch of weird shit happens on most nights... allegedly.

He often takes up extra shifts in order to make ends meet, but in the end, he achieved a bleak, lifeless image of what he desired to get in his childhood: independence. He lives alone, in a ratty apartment, with no one to bother him as he descends further...

And yet, the light of hope lives on. He's taken to private studies in his off-time, although without a professor or teacher, progress is slow.

PHYSICAL
Appearance:

Skills & Abilities:
* Lord of the Seven Aisles
* Could probably use a mop as a quarterstaff
* Shot a gun... once
* Plenty of streetwise, although he's no gangster
* Dry wit
* Jaded by everything

Other Items & Belongings:
* A motorbike; pretty much the only thing in his possession he considers worthwhile. He bought it at a discount garage sale, then narrowly managed to repair it into working order... with some help from Joe's Garage.
* An apartment in a building near the outskirts of town; although it doesn't qualify as "ratty," on its own, the absence of dedicated housekeeping has definitely deteriorated its state somewhat.

Hobbies:
* Studying

* Drinking

Quote\s:
"No smoking."
"You've been staring at that pack of chips for three minutes, dude. Are you buying or not?"

Backstory:
Originally from Chicago, Rita Justine Hollis or RJ was one of 6 siblings growing up with parents who subscribed to a more hippy lifestyle. RJ was invested in art because it was a family occupation first, and didn’t realize her interest in the academics and art history side of that world until she graduated from her undergraduate.
To afford her continued education, she would workas an assistant to more successful studio artists, as one of many fabricators in a metals or wood shop, or printing multiples of someone else’s work. near the end of her PhD program, one of the artists she worked for took particular interest in her and offered a job at a university he worked for as well as a chance to collaborate rather than working under him. When RJ accepted, she realized he expected things she wasn’t willing to give him.
The falling out was rough and her reputation in her previous art community was slandered, so she left to find somewhere she could start over entirely, Loudwater.
