  personality

  Fiercely loyal to his nearest and dearest, he is always there for those he cares about. That being said, the wall of sarcasm he hides behind can sometimes confuse people if they are meeting him for the first time. He is highly sociable and would much prefer to get on with people than to make enemies. However that doesn't mean he is afraid to stand up for himself and others. Throughout school he made a habit of defending his weaker classmates against the school bullies, often to the detriment of his own health.
  
  Intelligence is something that comes naturally to Rob and unfortunately this can result in him being extremely stubborn and thinking that he knows better than everyone else. It isn't something he consciously believes but the reality is that his forcefulness around his ideas comes across that way. He does try to apply himself positively in situations where things get difficult but he can be quite hot headed, particularly if he feels someone has done something wrong. This can cause him to speak his mind whether or not someone wants to hear what he has to say.
  

  trauma

  While back in the UK catching up with some old school friend, Rob and a dear friend, Mark Davies, decided to drive home. The pair had taken a cocktail of alcohol and drugs which meant the pair were in no fit state to drive. Rob protested for a mere few seconds before getting in the car with Mark.
  
  Mark was behind the wheel when the pair were driving through some country lanes. While well within the speed limit, precarious road conditions from days of rain meant the car didn't come to a stop when Mark hit the brakes. Instead, the car slid across the surface water and careered through a nearby hedge. On the otherside was a significant drop and the car rolled several times before coming to a rest.
  
  When Rob awoke he was in the hospital with an extensive list of minor injuries. He repeatedly asked nurses, doctors and his closest friends and family about Mark's condition but it took two full days before anyone finally told him Mark had died. He never fully forgave his friends or family for that.

  childhood

  Born in the sleepy Welsh village of Ystrad Mynach, Robert was son to a nurse and warehouse worker. His parents weren't flush with cash but they always made sure he never wanted for anything. He was raised with good morals and taught the difference between right and wrong, something lacking in the modern world. His family was close and not just those in his home. Weekends would often revolve around grandparents houses and mountains of food, such is the way of grandparents.
  
  His early school life was fun and he showed a strong academic aptitude, however he was far more interested in enjoying himself which often led to fairly disappointed evenings whenever his parents and teachers met. This would continue on through until high school.
  
  He found a love of sport in these early years and had a particular fondness for rugby. However, his mother who was frankly too paranoid around his safety, put a stop to it. Instead she enrolled him into karate classes to learn to defend himself against the non-existent thugs that didn't patrol the streets.
  

  teenage years

  High school was a mostly enjoyable time in his life. He earned himself a reputation as being someone who wouldn't accept bullies picking on those unable to defend themselves. This reputation was built on some fights early on in the first few months. The school weren't impressed and on another day the headmaster may have expelled him. Fortunately he was allowed to stay and on the whole, the years that followed were peaceful for all of his year group.
  
  Before he and his friends knew it, school was over. The years had disappeared to leave nothing but the worry that the comfortable life of being a child was over. While Rob never truly grew up, he adapted to being out of school fairly well. He got a part time job while he waited for his time in university to begin where he went on to study Computer Science. During this period he partied hard and somehow managed to maintain an internship with a nearby business. Between studying, partying and his internship, he was always tired and to no surprise.
  
  While he achieved his degree he was more focussed on the new band he had formed with his university friends, Deathspire. It was a whirlwind few years that followed as the band quickly made a name for themselves in the world of heavy metal. Few ever make it to the point they could quit their day job but fortunately for Rob, he could.
  
  The band moved to the mainland US where their fanbase was largest.
  
  

  after the trauma

  Robert had never dealt with Mark's death and had buried it deep beneath his want to help other people. His repressed emotion came flooding out when a student at the university suffered an unfortunate car accident and lost their life. The university wanted to put Robert on extended leave as they thought he was in the process of having a breakdown, but upon him explaining everything he was referred to a trauma specialist called Dr Elizabeth Spiers.
  
  Since his realisation that he still had to deal with the loss of Brian, he has seen Dr Spiers and she has helped him come to terms with what happened. That being said, he still blames himself for what happened.

Spoiler

Name: Timothy Laurentez

Nickname(s): Dr. L, Dr. Laurentez, Tim

Age: 33 y/o

Gender: Male (He/Him)

Appearance: Once a good looking young man now turned to a shell of his former self. Like many of Dr. Spier's patients, he seems to have let himself go considerably. His once tanned skin now grown pale and only getting paler, his dark brown eyes losing their spark. His brunette hair has turned lighter around the edges and worry lines delicately etch the side of his mouth and forehead. Through college and the beginning of his career, Timothy worked out almost daily and had the body to prove it. Now he has lost weight, looking almost unhealthy. He typically favors jeans, T-shirts and work boots. His hands are still rough and calloused from his time working with wood.

Birthplace: Spokane, Washington

Current location: Rochester, NY

Employment history: Worked as a manager in a local grocery store, volunteered as a shadow to one of the doctors in the area, and after receiving his degree became a neurological surgeon.

Positive traits: Insightful, kind, Orderly, Cautious

Negative Traits: Pessimistic, Closed off, Impatient, Stubborn

Hobbies: Woodwork, Reading, Sewing

Items: Wallet with a picture of his kid, pocket journal for his practice

Key skill: Medical knowledge

Trauma: Losing his kid in a car accident under his watch. His son was only 14 when he stole the car and got into an accident.

Background: Growing up in Spokane, Washington, Tim's life was relatively normal. He had two loving parents and two annoying siblings, all of which he loved dearly. In high school he played on his school's football team where he received a terrible head injury during practice. Afterwards he was in and out of the hospital due to developing epilepsy. The episodes happened every few months, but were growing worse each time. Instead of coming to hate the hospital, he actually enjoyed receiving care and talking with the doctors and nurses he had come to know, leading him to his interest in the medical field.

He met his ex wife Mira in his sophomore year in college. Both became med students but he was the only one to receive his doctorates and go into the field. Eventually got a promotion and moved to Rochester.

Secrets: Before the incident his marriage was already going downhill. A part of him wonders if he let his son drive off so it could lead to the divorce. Of course he had no idea his son had even taken the car in the first place, but his guilt obscures that rational part of him. He was already planning to ask for a divorce, but didn't have the heart to say anything until after the accident.

Developed epilepsy a long time ago that still affects him today

Pete developed a drinking problem during their relationship and it only got worse through the years, as he'd find himself in and out of rehab multiple times. They raised three children before deciding to call it quits in 2003.

  GENERAL

  NAME: Penelope Emerson
  
  NICKNAME: Pen
  
  GENDER: Female
  
  AGE: 19
  
  HEIGHT: 5'7
  
  WEIGHT: 120
  
  APPEARANCE: Penelope has always looked as fragile as she's felt on the inside. Pale, paper thin skin covers her gangly body. It had taken months for her to get used to eating the sort of foods that would help her reach a weight her doctor would approve of. Day by day she felt less like a walking corpse and more like a living breathing body, with round ears that stuck out, and the deepest of blue eyes.Lately under Dr. Spiers advice, she had taken to wearing her long, now healthy dark brown hair down with the tendrils hidden behind her ears. Don't hide what makes you feel uneasy, she had told her. Rarely did her eyes get puffy from a constant flow of tears anymore, but her plump lips did often dry and crack from her incessant nibbling whenever she felt stressed.

  Penelope is currently suffering from the long-term effects of her Mother having Munchausen syndrome. A childhood filled with needless poking and prodding, pills filled with chemicals, and a diet of whatever her mother insisted she wasn't allergic that month. It only began once she started elementary school. She ate less from the stress of meeting new people that week and suffered a bit of anemia, making the nurse call her mother.
  It was the catalyst for a childhood soon to be taken over.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  

  
  ​
• 
  
  Background:
  
  
  1. Her mother got pregnant in college, marrying her then boyfriend after Penelope's conception.
  2. They lived together until she was four, eventually divorcing due to frequent fights and money problems.
  3. The abuse began once she entered elementary school.
  4. A change in diet, a limit to time outside, and more doctor visits occurred.
  5. Visits from family and friends became restricted; her immune system was much too compromised to be around too many people.
  6. Finishes her high school diploma online, arguments ensue when talks of college begin.
  
  
  Location: Cape May, New Jersey
  
  Employment History: Currently unemployed, living on restitution and the occasional purchase of her anonymous artwork.
  
  
  Personality Traits: ​
  
  Observant: She has a tendency to recognize things others may have overlooked.
  
  Self-Critical: A life of constant manipulation and wavering sense of what is true and what isn't has lead to her being highly critical of herself. Isolation and frequent comments on her appearance and mannerisms has made her unable to feel worthy of praise.
  
  Resourceful: From teaching herself how to use a computer (and tracking software her mother installed), to making her own clothes, she's experienced a variety of situations that have proven she can overcome difficulties presented to her.
  
  Dull Social Senses: Unfortunately, what she has in the smart department she deeply lacks in common social graces. Being home schooled and with her mother as her only company, she's had a hard time relating and knowing the right things to say in common social settings.
  
  Patient: She only realized how patient she could be when she was placed with other children in the hospital after the "incident". She liked to draw with them, to keep them calm when they had bursts of anger, or woke up to their tears in the middle of the night.
  
  Distrusting: A mailman who lingers too long near her apartment door. The nurse with the fake, twinkling laugh that seemed to find everything she said funny. Everyone feels like an enemy to Penelope. Even for months she felt a deep sense of distrust towards Dr.Spiers.
  
  Sincere: Everything her mother was not. She enjoys providing hard evidence and experience to provide valid reasons for her feelings and actions.
  
  Bitter: Despite the hard work on both the doctor and Penelope's end, a deep rooted hate lingers in her heart. Despite the idea that her mother lingers behind prison bars, there's still a desire for her to feel more suffering.
  
  Creative: Her mother did have a few positive traits. She ensured Penelope could have a creative outlet, even if she wasn't allowed any friends. A constant flow of cash from Gofundme's from dedicated followers of her "conditions" wasn't all spent on her mother or the house. Crayons, pencils, paper, and even a tablet for drawing. She began to be obsessed with drawing and creating worlds outside of her own. Her mother even bought her a small keyboard, and eventually a piano to play with her mother as her only instructor.
  
  
  
  
  
• 
  
  Medical Knowledge: A life thinking she had close to everything that could go wrong with a body did lead to some knowledge of it.Medical books littered her home, and she thought nothing of it to read and learn as much as she could about herself. Medications, terms, and even procedures filled her head. Every medical condition or Latin term for something remained ingrained inside of her.
  
  That being said, her biggest weakness would be her physical abilities. Her bones were much more brittle than others her age, and even climbing the stairs to her apartment often left her winded.
  
  Secret: She’s become fond of catfishing (though no one online has ever come close to finding out she isn’t who she says she is) and currently uses it as her main source of emotional connection. She uses pictures of vibrant, beautiful young woman to start conversations when she feels lonely. Once she feels the other side begins to suspect or grows bored, she blocks and moves on to the next. In a rather paranoid, and bitter way she has also managed to join several pen pal to prisoners sites in hopes she can discover who her mother's cell mate might be.

[VomitIcicle]

Name: James Brandon

Age: 42

Appearance: A scruffy, dirty looking fellow. Once broad shouldered and muscular, his physique had been damaged from years of abuse, now a vestige of its former glory. His eyes are almost sunken into his skull, a dull, lifeless brown. His clothes are in a similiar state, all dull colors and patchy.

Birth Location: Cedar Key, Florida
Current Location: Brownsville, New York

Current Employment: Independent contractor, mostly in construction. Occasionally sees gigs as a bouncer

Background: Born into a small country family, James was instilled with deep religious values and patriotism at a very young age. With both his parents having previously served in the military, it seemed only natural that he would follow in their footsteps. While training overseas, he would meet his soon to be wife, even fathering a child. For a time, things seemed good.

For a time.

It went wrong. James came back, changed. He had seen things. Things that had changed him. He couldn't keep a steady job. Would lash out at the slightest provacation. Began abusing painkillers. After a particularly vicious blowout, his love left, taking his child with him. A broken shell, James could do nothing but watch, too weak to pull himself from the dredges of his own self-loathing. He began attempting to straighten out his life with assistance from Dr. Spiers. Hopefully this little resort trip would help clear his mind. Ease his guilt.

Yeah, right.

Personality: Once an outgoing, well-spoken man, James soured, becoming sullen and prone to acts of violence at the slightest provacations. Became infamous in his local area for his habit of drinking himself into a stupor and picking fights, many of which ended in a dramatically violent fashion.

Key skill:

Hardened: James is a veteran, a particularly jaded one at that. Events that would phase many prove not quite so troublesome to process for James

Positive Traits:

Loyal: Although hard to earn, once you do, James'll stick by you no matter what goes down.

Humorous: Despite his sullen demeanor, occasional glimpses of the man he once was can be seen, his sense of humor being one of them. A dry remark here or there should help lighten up the mood a little.

Negative Traits:

Violent: James is very willing, almost eager, to resort to physical means of engagement to get his way. If pressured enough, wouldn't be surprising to see him kill a man.

Biting: James is just as willing to crack a joke at someone else's expense as he is anything else, not all of them end that well. Most, in fact, lead to vitriolic rants on how much said person sucks.

Paranoid: James is extremely paranoid, prone to bouts of unwarranted suspicions and accusations.

Items:

Knife: a straight edged hunting knife, a keepsake from his father when he went into the service.

Wallet, with photo: Of his wife, and kid.

Cellphone: Prepaid. Dunno' if there's anything left on it.

Pills: Helps him forget

Secret:

James participated in a covert operation to eliminate an alleged terrorist cell. Numerous fatalities were endured, some of them his own squadmates. In retaliation and to allow for continued operational security, a massacre was undertaken, killing dozens of civilians. James partook.

Trauma:

James is horrified by the acts he undertook during the height of the War on Terror, suffering from symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and even signs of acute paranoia.

(Kinda rough, just wanted to slap something down)

  • She and her sister (Chloe) were inseparable, doing everything together and always dressing to match. This included activities like horse back riding, ballet, piano and soccer.

  • When she was 10 years old, she suffered a major car accident while the family was on the way to their vacation home.
    • Car was t-boned and flipped from the impact, landing on the drivers side door.
    • The accident instantly killed Chloe and both parents died on the way to the hospital.
    • Zoe suffered numerous broken bones and a head injury, but she was told she only survived because she wrapped herself up in a blanket and had a pillow by her window (passenger drivers side).
    • She is terrified of being in cars, and has never learned to drive.
  • With no known family, was taken in by the state of New York and put into the foster care system.
  • Had trouble opening up to her foster parents despite the help from therapists and social workers.

  • Began to resent those who tried to help her, skipping school to get away from those who breathed down her neck.
  • Started seeing Dr. Spiers when she started failing school in her senior year in HS.
    • It was through Dr. Spiers and the others who were part of the group sessions that she began to do better in school and even started getting some honors.

They taught themselves to be better, but in middle school through high school, Margaret was a victim of bullying. A boy named Thomas simply decided that Margaret should be punished for simply existing after she reported him to a teacher for cheating. He did all he could to make her life miserable. Because of this, Margaret grew up hating herself and her performance in school plummeted, and while that happened, Penny’s achievements only skyrocketed.
While Penny eventually graduated college within three years with a Bachelor’s and was rewarded with a lucrative business career, Margaret dropped out to recover from the emotional distress that she suffers from before re-enrolling into college for veterinary sciences.

Trauma: Margaret has trauma from the few years of constant bullying from Thomas, as well as from her mother’s abusive tendencies, and has issues with her confidence and also has anxiety and depression. She is also highly envious of her sister.
Secrets: Though she loves her sister to death, she loathes the fact that Penny got the longer stick from the pull. Margaret also believes that everything that ever happened to her was her fault.

Key Skill: Situational Awareness - From his experience in writing, Oz tries to think about whatever situations he finds himself in (sometimes overthinking them). He tries to see every angle, and remember anything he thinks will be relevant. His Notes App is full of random things he's written down from not wanting to forget them.

Trauma: When Oz was a child, he and his parents visited the state carnival. He was already a timid child, but when he got lost (and was too embarrassed to ask an employee for help), he stayed past closing time. From here on, Oz began to panic, running around the carnival in a panic. He came upon limp puppets and scary clowns and strange sounds. At one point, an employee half-out of a clown suit saw him and tried to help him, which just scared Oz more. During this chase, Oz stumbled into a water ride at one of the parks, and with very little light came face-to-face with an animatronic sea lizard put down there for a gimmick rollercoaster. The murky water and odd architecture of the machine not only terrified him, but it scarred him after the employee tried to get the boy out of the water area, before slipping and falling into the gears of the machine. After being found, and eventually brought into the police station, he was let off without any warnings. The death was ruled an accident, and this kickstarted a need for an outlet for Oz, who took to writing. From this came his successful folk-horror series involving several creatures from folktales and urban myths across the globe, due to Oz liking history in school. However, something that was always noticeable in his writing was the strange ominous note of when the characters are around water. The mass of water is personified like an entity, something unknown even in terror. It looks at the characters, who feel oddly scared of it. Even while his writing is going well, Oz has developed Thalassophobia and Submechanaphobia, alongside fears associated with the carnival and clowns in general.
Secrets: Oz refuses to go swimming. Even in hot tubs he gets a little irritated, though it's not as bad when the water is light and completely see-through. One time, he almost let his younger brother drown because he was paralyzed by murky lake water during a family canoeing trip.

Background: Oz was born into a fairly normal family, with his parents (Virginia and Robert). They moved to Argleton shortly after his birth, and he lived almost his entire life, from childhood to teenage years, in that town. He also soon had a younger brother three years after he entered the world named Rocky. Despite the carnival and near-drowning incident, they lived very normal lives. Virgina and Robert were both professors of Business and History at the local college, which is where Oz gained his interest from. After winning the country-wide writing competition for a short story he wrote (which later became the first of his bestselling series), Oz's aspirations took him to Syracuse University. After getting his degree in both History and Literature, several years later, he would return as a professor to very same school. During his first months teach, Oz would release his first big seller based on a story he wrote as a teenager, which he called Spiritwell. After this, he would release six more books in the same series up to this day, all with unique premises and creatures within. Fan-curated highlights included Spiritwell: Raven's Reap, Spiritwell: The Hollow Birch, Spiritwell: Hauntings in Owen's Burrow, and Spiritwell: Masks of Eternity. Fan-speculation is currently focused on the possible new novel in the series, which has many fan theories swirling about it. However, this one is the most challenging. Oz has been trying to get better at overcoming his fears, and thus, he's trying to write a book about it. Spiritwell: The Under (the working title at the moment) is a themed vacation inside a high-tech (but retro-decorated) submarine that goes deeper into the ocean than ever before for rich vacationeers. The cast is trapped deep within the ocean with only themselves as the submarine to protect against the horrors awaiting them. Oz has only a few chapter finished, and he still views them as inadequate.

Background: Minma was born into a family of drug smugglers. His parents moved to New York when Minma was just 5 months old. They had a reason for moving. South Carolina didn't bring in the money his parents were hoping for. Growing up, Minma lived in a small square shaped house. On the inside, there was no decor. Plain white walls stretched around the house, and no windows were present. The only thing present from a stove, refrigerator, a few couches, and a bathroom was pounds upon pounds of various drug. Weed, cocaine, meth, mushrooms, acid, you name it and they had it. Minma was born male so he was made to takeover the drug operation when he came of age.

He wasn't allowed to leave the house, unless his father wanted Minma to accompany him on 'missions'. He was feed on a strict diet with none of his food having added sugar. His parents were, a lot of the time, strung out themselves on drugs, or had people who were over that were.
