important info.











ugh, codes?



format





Codes are pretty to look at and organised but are definitely not required, nor will it influence my decision. You can format the application in any way you see fit, or even include others details as long as the stuff to the left is somewhere within your character's app! Keep scrolling buddy, there is more.










but there is zombies?



realism





Yes, yes, yes I know this roleplay isn't completely realistic with the inclusion of zombies. However, I ask that all characters are grounded in reality and aren't some superheroes capable of being good at everything that exists. Where is the excitement in that?










#nomarysues



persona





If there is one part I would love for you to pour your time into, its the persona section. I want complex and flawed characters who will make mistakes. I want to understand your character and their motives and drives. For some people I know this section can be hard but try envision your character is multiple scenarios (e.g., how they act around friends, when under pressure, how they act alone, their inner thoughts).

I really don't want to see stereotypes or tropes that are rife throughout media. There is no harm in starting with one but adding your own spin on it!










same guy, different fonts



diversity





Would love to see some diversity in all aspects (e.g., ethnicity, sexuality, personality, appearance, occupations) and do not want the same carbon copies of characters with slightly different changes. Not only is not representative of the real world, it is frankly boring when character's don't have any friction.










google = friend



sensitivity





Related to the last point, you might be wondering, "what if I'm not a person of colour, or I've never experienced that person's culture?". Well, what do you do when your character has an occupation you've never done? Research it! Avoid stereotypes and created characters that aren't solely based on these traits. I will not tolerate blatant stereotypes of people of colour, queer people or butchering of one's culture. Why not challenge yourself and step outside your comfort zone?










think about the children!



npcs





Since we are starting at the beginning of it all, I'm assuming that your character won't be alone - unless everyone is lone wolves. Do they have a family, friends or even a romantic partner? To absolve this, you're able to make your own NPCs, or rather "side characters" that don't need their own character applications. You will be in control of them but do keep in mind they might not survive, or at the very least I'm going to make it difficult for them to escape unscathed. As the roleplay progresses, you're more than welcome to create more NPCs/side characters that the survivors will come across. But don't worry if you want to just focus on your own character, I'll be making interesting and engaging NPCs/side characters that will be roaming the land.















other tidbits.






Almost there, thank you for bearing with me, I know this is a lot of info to take in! Below is any other information that didn't fit in above:








You can create up to two main characters! Go crazy with the side characters (okay not literally, I don't want 10 children running around).







Give your characters room to grow! Nothing is more enthralling than a character who is moulded and shaped with what is thrown at them.






If there are too many applications, I will have to make the difficult decision to choose the most fitting for the setting/story. Please keep this in mind!

FULL NAME.


Andrea Sofie Ivalu Kidman.







NICKNAME(S).


Andy, Furore, Kidman, Half-Pint, Mouse.







AGE.


Twenty-five years old (16th August).







GENDER.


Unlabelled; she/her, they/them.







SEXUALITY.


Homoromantic homosexual.







ETHNICITY.


Her father is of Danish descent; her mother is of Greenlandic-Danish descent.







OCCUPATION.


Retail assistant and animal shelter volunteer.







HOME.


Odense, Denmark.













A

D SUPERFICIEM ;










HAIR.


Her hair is raven black and impetuously cut as short as a fuse, not even so much as tickling her shoulders when let down, with either side underneath shaved to the skin; strangers and colleagues would frequently joke that she was the victim of a drunken prank by friends whilst she dozed, or that it occurred from a hapless game of truth or dare.







EYES.


Slate blue with a fixed goggle-eyed expression, though nonetheless unreadable.







COMPLEXION.


She looks like death warmed up, with natural pallor skin, deep purple, and red bags of skin underneath her eyes—giving her what looks like natural eye-shadow—, high cheekbones, and concave cheeks; the pinkish tinge of joy intermittently emerging on her cheeks.







BUILD.


Two decades (and counting) of an overactive metabolism and mercurial dietary patterns have led to her scraggy physique. At 5’2” (157cm) and 107lbs (48kg), she has meagre shoulders, narrow wrists, and bony hips; her rail-thin limbs and untamed, darting movements almost resemble the appearance of a harvestman.







BODY MODIFICATION(S).


Bleached eyebrows, alongside piercings through her right eyebrow, the right side of her lip, septum, navel, both earlobes, and left nostril—each one bedecked with silver jewellery; a dulled, self-inflicted tattoo of the phrase, “Follow the white rabbit” wrapping around her left forearm, and a tattoo on her right bicep of Malcolm Browne’s photograph of the self-immolation of Thích Quảng Đức.







FACE CLAIM.


Rooney Mara.







WARDROBE.


Her clothing has always been a bulwark; a means of proclaiming, “Please stay away from me” without the physical expression of speech, though the irony of dark clothing is in the attention it picks up. Everything is varying, sombre tones of black or grey, and she habitually wears a child’s sized, distressed tank top; graphic short-sleeved and long-sleeved tops—the printed designs would surely make a Christian Texan mother’s blood curdle—; over-the-top or zip up hooded sweatshirts; further layered by a studded leather biker jacket; and low-waisted slim fit jeans stuffed into moth-eaten combat boots.







INVENTORY.


A canvas messenger bag; a folding pocketknife; two packs of ferrous sulphate tablets and sertraline tablets; a spare key to a cabin owned by her sister; a water bottle topped with Red Bull; a pair of noise cancelling headphones; an almost emptied packet of Du Maurier cigarettes.













S

APERE AUDE ;










PERSONALITY


There is a considerable difference between being alone and feeling lonely, the difference between content and yearning. Andy has never felt particularly attracted to grander society and has indeed less of a penchant for being a part of it; notwithstanding, there are indeed moments of disconsolate desire for relations (as few as they may be), but they are as fleeting as an intrusive thought—never attaching herself to it and continuing life thereafter, as if she had zoned out. The comfort of their own company is not necessarily out of their own volition but a more defeated acceptance stemming from their ineptitude to relate to those around them; Andy simply isn’t there, and if asked about it, would attribute it to being like a ghost.

Such an introverted and unsociable mien mistakes Andy as disrespectful and ill-mannered; baby boomers have never been a fan of her—get with the times, gramps. Talking with her about genuine interests—hers or otherwise—uncloaks a surprisingly avid and open extroversion. Although, perhaps from time to time she is too plain-speaking for her own good; when someone asks you for the truth, you don’t give them an even-handed outlook; you give them what they want as the truth. The artificial methods of neurotypical society are something she has ostensibly accepted (to, if nothing else, provide for herself and her mother) for the time being, but has no intention of employing them to her life.

It has inevitably occurred to her that: why would an employer hire somebody such as herself, when they could, hell, hire an inebriate who is out of the game by 8PM with vomit trickling down his favourite football (soccer) jersey, seated in a dilapidated armchair, but can deal with every area of work with no sweat. The reason being that most people who can handle every area of work will only conduct it with mediocrity. But if appointed a task befitted for her, she has a clear-cut imagination and almost sheer magical ability to compile information, reports, and etcetera, from nowhere in half the time it may take thrice the number of people. Her way of working isn’t always conventional, but it yields results far exceeding expectations.







POSITIVE TRAIT(S).


Serious-minded, individualistic, principled, reflective, self-aware, thorough, methodical, diplomatic.







NEGATIVE TRAIT(S).


Mistrustful, perfectionist, aloof, tense, resentful, pedantic, self-doubting, guarded.







STRENGTH(S).


FORETHOUGHT. Fate is invariably second place in the race of life; always one step behind Andy. It is, in some respects, a coping mechanism to never wind up like her brother and father. But she watched Final Destination, and the universe possesses a facetious and devilish practice to assure you play by its rules.

LIGHT-FOOTED. God, if she earned a krone for every time she upset a co-worker by pottering up to them whilst their back is turned mid-conversation (to ask how she should handle a customer who contended their expired coupon should be applied because they’re ‘best friends with the manager’) with no warning and suddenly appearing behind them like a ghost in the night. It's earned her the nickname Mouse.







WEAKNESS(ES).


TERSE. Perhaps some—some—appreciate it as her being succinct. Although, truly, it is chalked up to her inability to articulate her thoughts and feelings that translate to neighboring bodies; if it makes sense to her, then it makes sense, with no eagerness for others to understand her.

FRAIL. Her meagre, small-boned body offers no advantages in the fighting department; she has virtually zilch upper and lower body strength and is all but useful without a weapon.







FEAR(S).


Failure to achieve her idea of fulfilment in life; capitulating to the ideals and standards of general society; forever lacking a solid support system.







AILMENT(S) & CONDITION(S).


Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), iron deficiency anaemia, clinical depression, nicotine dependence, pollen allergy.













N

OS IN DIEM VIVUMUS;










HISTORY


TW: Mention of suicide and death.

Andrea Sofie Ivalu Kidman (born 16th August 1996) was the youngest of three, five years her brother and sister’s (Victor and Karla, who were fraternal twins) junior. They originally lived with their mother, Alma Kidman, and father, Malthe Kidman, in an impoverished suburb on the outskirts of Copenhagen—living off food stamps and private insurance fund reaped benefits—before moving to the city Odense by the time Andy was four years old, when her mother was fit to work again after having given birth to three children.

Victor, who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia the preceding year, overdosed, and drowned in the bathtub of their house at the age of nineteen. His death shattered the family like a bullet through glass.

Death was not a particularly foreign concept, but unaccustomed to Andy nonetheless; except for when she had a pet goldfish at four years old—as a celebratory present to comfort her in their new home—and overfed it on accident, but her mother urged it was sleeping and flushed it down the toilet with the promise of returning it to the deep blue.

Yet she hadn’t cried then, and she didn’t cry now. Although, an overpowering sorrow encased her—a rage rather than sadness. One she never knew how to express.

When he was of legal drinking age, Malthe (whose father had been a vicious, splenetic drunkard) had vowed an oath to himself to never even so much as sniff a glass of liquor—the Devil’s Piss, he would always call it. After Victor’s death, Malthe began drinking like a horse, eventually drinking himself to death two years afterwards.

Karla had already moved to a university in Canada by this point. And Alma, now without a husband and son, became reclusive—seldom leaving their house aside from buying essential items when Andy wasn’t available—with Andy tending to her as a helper, halting her life for the following years.







RELATIONSHIP(S).


ALMA KIDMAN. Mother, fifty-five years old, alive.

MALTHE KIDMAN. Father, forty-six years old, deceased; cardiac arrest.

VICTOR KIDMAN. Brother, nineteen years old, deceased; suicide.

KARLA NADEAU. Sister, thirty years old, alive.

ppearance.










hair.


Neat blonde hair parted sideways, always brushed and it is never seen messy or tangled. Katrina always has her hair down, no matter the situation.







eyes.


Dirty olive green irishes that are framed by thick lashes.







skin.


Smooth soft pale skin that is taken care of gently every single day. A natural blush plastered across her face.

face claim.


Sarah Michelle Gellar.












P

ersonality.










summary.


Admittedly, at first glance, katrina does come off as one of those spoilt pampered bimbo princesses that are bitchy to everyone that are inferior to her. Curse her genetics and her parents who decided to give her the meanest name possible, enforcing those dumb stereotypes onto her.

No! She’s more fitting to the older sister kind of vibes, leaning towards a mother figure but not entirely with her sharp edge still remaining there, after all, no one can be that kind except for some idiots.

A social butterfly at heart. She’s super easy to talk to, despite how incredibly intimidating katrina comes off as. Someone who can easily get close to one another in less than a span of an hour, regardless of whether they had anything in common or not, the conversation is always rolling when it comes to her.

Yes, she technically isn’t a bimbo but at time, she can be a little bit brainless. But only sometimes! Consider her as more street smart than book smart. Mainly because katrina hasn’t picked up a single book since she graduated from middle school, but it’s fine, at least she can read well, just don’t give her complicated math problems or someone’s head is going to get chewed off.

Easily trusting towards other, she never learned how to think before acting, throwing herself into danger when someone’s in trouble regardless of whether they’ve known each other for years or for several hours. Selfless, perhaps that’s what could be used to describe her.

That’s as far as her positive traits goes, other than that, she’s the type of girl that loves conflict. Not participating in it directly, no! Katrina is the type of person that stands by the side and tries to rile the people arguing even more, pouring more oil into the burning fire.







positive traits.


Charismatic, caring, confident, social, level-headed, dependable, devoted, protective.







negative traits.


Reckless, impulsive, dramatic, airhead, narcissistic, blunt, passive, indecisive.







strengths.


Charismatic and sociable, a natural leader at heart. a literal human gps, give her any maps and she can automatically read it and navigate the road perfectly without getting lost even once. Good at parkour and running. Experiences that she received from the days where she used to sneak out of her house in the middle of the nights? Super stealthy.







weaknesses.


Weak arms, her punches feels like feathers. and when the time comes when she can't run away and has no one to depend on? katrina is doomed. Small brain, barely has any knowledge on basic survival stuff, why? Because books are boring.







fears.


Being abandoned, getting ignored and looked over, losing someone close to her.







ailments.


Allergic to penuts and soybeans.












H

istory.





Born as an only child in a wealthy family, Katrina was spoilt rotten. Both her mother and father were successful lawyers, professionals in whatever they do. To the outside, they were perfect parents, both managing their successful jobs and still able to manage an adorable daughter. Of course, they have to be good at parenting. Are they though?

Katrina angel’s first memory was when she accidentally tripped over a small pointy rock laying in their garden, of course, it hurts! And just like what every other child does when they’re hurt, she cried. Instead of comforting her by hugs or reassurance words, or just anything at all, her dad spared her one single glance and shoved money in her face. If she remembered the exact phrasing of what he’d said, it was something like: “quiet down, here's some change, go and buy ice cream, I’m trying to read the newspaper here.”

Her mother? Not any better. She eventually learns to grow out of sulking and prancing around trying to gain their attention around the time when she graduated. Because she knew that at the end of the day, Katrina will remain ignored unless she’s in a near-death position or has passed away. Instead, using all of the apology money that her parents give to her over time, and the money sure does stack up pretty quickly “oh sorry I forgot that today was your birthday, here’s a thousand dollars, buy yourself something nice”

So she did! She followed their instruction and went batshit crazy on shopping and spending money recklessly, with cautions of course. A girl does want to have fun, but not get busted by her parents and disappoints them more. Sure, she’ll capture their attention by doing so, but negative attention targeted at her isn’t Katrina's cup of tea. She wasn’t the best student, but then again no one expected much of her. Katrina was not much of a studier or a reader but she does manage to barely pass high school and graduate out of that hell hole! So for a celebration of actually graduating, she boards onto a traveling bus with a bunch of her close friends and goes to Campton Falls for some memorable skiing and hiking trips!











R

elationships/side characters.










Hiro Suzuki


Rough start between the two of them. No! It was a terrible start. Hiro was the typical good Asian kid that had the highest grades in the class and Katrina, well… she was in second place! From the bottom. Long story short, she was failing and the teacher immediately paired her with him for extra tutors out of the goodness of his heart. After years of bickering with each other and agreement, they still find themself next to each other grumbling about anything and everything.







Vincent Cortez


Some kids from high school groups do stick around. Vincent has been there with her during her highest and her lowest. He has sat around listening to her ramble off about all of her shitty exes and how they were so horrible to her, has been there when she was bawling her eyes out in a club’s bathroom. He was always there for her supporting her regardless of what happened.

Face Claim : Josh Dallas
persona.
Alignment : Neutral Good
Personality : Wyatt considers himself a simple man. Teaching is something that gives him purpose, helping shape the future by educating the younger generation is something he's always taken pride in. That said there's far more to the job than simply that. There are many problems that those students face and Wyatt does his best to be there for them. It helps that he can be perceptive and catch things that others might overlook, he's learned to watch for signs of problems outside of school. Wyatt believes in second chances for just about anyone and will help them onto that path. This all being said he's the type to care far more for others than himself and occasionally neglects his own well-being through distraction or prioritizing others. In this he can be seen as reckless but it's more obliviousness than anything.

Being outspoken is nothing new to Wyatt and he will stubbornly try and interpret the way he see's things or explain his opinion. When met with hostility he doesn't exactly back down but loses his steam quickly, falling back into a more neutral state of passively holding one's ground. There's a fear of making things worse by reacting the wrong way that tends to override any sense of being right or wrong in a situation. Not to mention he's always been known to be more of lover than a fighter. While he'll gladly defend those who need it with a protective fierceness, he's by no means effective in the matter and is more bark than bite. Still, that doesn't stop him from doing so.

While Wyatt has made friends and plenty of relationships in the community of Campton Falls over the years, few have had real depth to them. As good as Wyatt is at helping his students, he's a rather hinderance on himself in really putting forth the effort. This leads to those few being the only people to really understand him and the way he ticks.

-Really needs his glasses, his eyesight is terrible.-
-Has a nut allergy-
-Drinks coffee daily-
-?-
archive.

History : Wyatt grew up in Grand Haven Michigan in the US in a rather average household. He's an only child who took to sports in high-school, specifically Baseball. He was a well rounded student and athlete, though he'd still been considered a jock in those days. By the time college rolled around and Wyatt had to really consider what he wanted to do he opted to follow in his mothers footsteps by getting his bachelor's degree in education. His first few years of teaching were in the US. When Wyatt was twenty-six he'd been dating one of his fellow teacher's for about a year, and for Wyatt it was getting serious and he was falling for the other man. To the point that he'd even set up a proposal in the coming months. But before that could happen both the student body and faculty found out about their relationship, and what was once private became public. And while some of the students teased, there wasn't any backlash or anything of the sort. The most they'd had to do was having a meeting with the administration about it. Still, it wasn't something Paul was interested in having and had broken it off with Wyatt within a week of it going public. This devastated Wyatt who voiced that he wanted to fight to keep them together but Paul had seemingly lost interest leaving him to question if their relationship had ever had a shot at being anything more.

Like with any good life crisis, in the aftermath Wyatt wanted a change of scenery. Thus he moved to Canada and continued his life and job there, diving headlong into work and even taking on the role of coaching the school's Baseball team. Three years after the move Wyatt noticed one of his students acting out abruptly, beforehand the teen had given few problems. Not long after he uncovered the fact that abuse was involved, though before the authorities could be contacted the student's father managed to attack him publicly. The story sort of blew up in the small town, the father going to prison for multiple reasons and his son being placed safely with family in Ontario. Wyatt came out of it with some bruises and stitches but considers that worth the result. After this he found that he'd seemingly found the respect of many of those in town. Maybe it was just that his name and face were on the news, who knew. Either way he was met with more greetings than before, the impact really made him feel at home in Campton Fall's. Like he'd been fully accepted. This has been where he's been for the last ten years.

hair


Having inherited her mother’s distinctive red shade and father’s coils, Zoey’s thick hair is typically left to float down below her shoulders, her face sometimes seeming to hide behind its cloud-like volume. Zoey has a few times throughout her life experimented with various styles, but she prefers it being left natural.

Large and round, Zoey’s eyes are a dark brown. Their natural shape seems to enhance all her expressions, giving a confused or anxious look that is typically not untrue to her feelings.

Zoey’s skin is a light brown, and dotted with a dense arrangement of freckles, most concentrated across her nose and cheeks. She has a couple acne scars and markings on her skin, largely from scratching or picking at cuts.

Standing at 5’3, Zoey’s stature often makes her seem even shorter than she is, between a quiet energy, often slouched shoulders, and a thin frame. She has no visible muscles, with the exception of defined legs from running, overall a rather small girl.







distinguishing features


Zoey’s most distinguishing feature is her hair, due both to its volume and uncommon coloring, and the amount of freckles on her. Someone uncomfortable with much attention, she doesn’t have much she’d made noticeable about herself, but she has a belly button piercing she usually keeps covered. Beyond that, Zoey’s full smile is rare, but it’s width and brightness makes it memorable.







wardrobe


Zoey finds herself almost always cold, and so almost always with a layer more than necessary on her. She often chooses to dress in dull colors, grey toned blues and greens and blacks. Her outfits often consist of a tank top under a shirt under a jacket or sweater, and now in the winter with a coat on top. She has a tendency towards wearing runners as much as she can, but the snow of the winter months forces a switch to large boots. An old blue scarf seems to be inseparable from her throughout the winter as well. Zoey doesn’t wear jewelry and tends not to accessorize without function to it.







inventory


Beyond her phone and basic belongings she brought in a suitcase for the trip, Zoey’s has her wallet which on top of her ID and card contains a pack of mints and a four part photobooth picture of her and her friends. Zoey’s also brought two books on the trip, her writing notebook, an old pair of glasses, and of course, an old but sturdy calculator.

personality


Zoey always wanted to be a hero.

This was a natural trait of a child, especially a reader, especially one latched onto it as early as Zoey did. The earliest stories she remembers are fairy tales, magic and wonder and full of the promise of being special. She didn’t have to be a hero. A knight, or a princess, or dragon, or witch would do. Just something, really, so long as she was remembered. So long as she caught a taste of adventure.

It was a slow realization the real world didn’t work the way stories did. And sometimes it felt like that held doubly true for her. Zoey was always quiet, a trait that for much of her youth was dismissed as just shyness, never quite given examination into why being asked to speak first caused her to freeze up the way she did, why the world seemed difficult to her the way it did.

Zoey still finds approaching others difficult, and is firmly an introvert, but knows she enjoys having others to spend company with, and a touch of awkwardness now poses more of a challenge than her shyness does. Having found friends and connections in high school, she’s not willing to go back to being a loner, with whatever effort it takes. With that said, social skills have never been a strong suit of hers, often tripping over her own words or rethinking a sentence halfway through it. Despite her kindness and genuineness, there have only been a handful of people throughout Zoey’s life she’s been comfortable enough around to consider friends.

Consuming knowledge seems to have always been second nature to Zoey. From stories and reading as a child to enjoying spending time at school, being taught anything new. Zoey’s lost count how many times she’s been asked what kind of kid likes to do math. Always giving a hundred and ten percent effort to homework assignments and having the most elaborate calendar planner in her class, Zoey was always a good student. That quality truly started to shine when Zoey left to attend college, suddenly thrust into classes that seemed designed for her, where everyone chose what they were taught and it suddenly became the norm to love the subject. Learning felt natural to Zoey, perhaps easy, and was a safety net she fell into with little question when it became time to choose her life path past high school.

More than just being good at memorizing facts, Zoey started writing when she was a young teenager, the exact age having long slipped from her mind. She’s spent countless hours on the hobby, from just creating characters to short stories to the occasional attempt at longer projects. Despite the freedom Zoey finds in it, her writing is one of her largest secrets, with only one other person having ever seen it directly.

Zoey’s preparation and need to stay on top of everything in her life stems from more than just academic ambition. Of everyone she knows, Zoey likely worries the most, about just about anything she has the chance to. Any situation she’s in constantly has the potential to go horribly wrong, and Zoey is constantly thinking about it. She’s often teased for being jumpy, reacting to most unexpected noises, and was once told she’d be terrible to watch horror movies with. She didn’t mind, not particularly liking them in the first place, but Zoey being vividly aware of being anxious did just about nothing to change the fact.

One of the few things that gave her a moment of relief, a moment of her mind not being stuck in thought was running. It was something she did mostly recreationally, her method of keeping active, although she competed on the track team for two years in middle school. The movement, the feeling of wind against her face, the heat and sensation in her muscles gave her– would it be paradoxical to say the tiredness was the best respite Zoey’s ever had? It was the only physical activity Zoey’s ever taken to, being almost comically unable to lift anything heavy and too worried about disappointing teammates to lose herself in team sports in the same way, but it was one of the few things Zoey took pride in doing.

Zoey, nerdy and awkward, stumbling over words and hiding behind anyone braver than her, with more nerves than spine, wasn’t much of a hero.

Then again, she’s never quite yet been given the opportunity.







positive traits


Much of Zoey’s virtue lies in her intelligence, being a sharp thinker and someone filled with curiosity. Her academics have always been high on her list of priorities, leaving her one of the strongest in her class on top of being reasonably knowledgeable in several areas. Zoey’s also a fundamentally kind person, genuinely wanting to help the world around her and rarely one to refuse to give her aid, and often quick to forgive.







negative traits


Zoey’s quiet personality often leaves her a bit of a pushover, struggling to say no to others or speak her mind even when she knows what she wants to say. On top of that, Zoey’s anxiety leaves her an overthinker, worrying about any situation beyond a reasonable amount, and often projecting that onto those around her. Zoey's also a massive pessimist; in most situations, asking what she expects and what she thinks the worst-case scenario is will produce the same response from her.







strengths


quick learner, great at math and with decent science knowledge, fast runner, can analyze situations quickly and ensures to be prepared







weaknesses


overly anxious, easily scared or spooked, tends to believe others are being honest with her, can be slow to take action, physically rather weak







fears


public speech, being forgotten or unaccomplished, bugs, but less so the actual bugs and more the possibility of their presence, driving, jump scares







ailments


Zoey has anxiety, and poor vision, for which she’s using eye contacts













h

istory.





Zoey’s father met her mother on a business trip to England. Whenever Zoey was told about it, it sounded just like something out of a love story. A chance meeting turning out to be some sort of true love, her mother leaving her home country to be with her father without a second doubt. Zoey didn’t think she’d be capable of making such a life changing decision like that, but her parents did. They got married within six months, and several years and two moves later, ended up in Edmonton, Alberta, where Zoey was born.

Zoey’s childhood was nothing exceptional. Being someone quiet right from the start, she was a bit of an outcast most of her elementary and middle school years, but between two years on her school track team and a couple science fairs, not entirely unknown.

It wasn’t until high school that Zoey got a sense of belonging, settling into a small friend group, experimenting with her style and appearance, and starting to feel like her grades might be worth something. The three years, however, slipped through her fingers like sand, until she was left faced with college offers and decisions that felt like the weight of many mountains over.

Leaving home was the most terrifying decision she’d ever made and most challenging action she’d taken. Choosing a major was easy; she liked math, she was good at math, engineering meant no real thinking about risk involved (passion involved, either) and it was just something she knew she could do. Living away from home the first few months, on the other hand, was not easy. It wasn’t entirely back to being alone; university dorms helped, a lot, and Zoey settled into a state of kind of being, repeating the same actions, class and homework and sleep, a stability she couldn’t quite call content but maybe was as successful as she could ask for.

When the holidays came, winter of 2022, so came a flight home and a week with her parents, in Edmonton. More than that, though, came the chance to meet up and catch up with her high school friends, the three of them driving to spend a week at Campton Falls.









R

elationships/side characters.










Allison Choi


Zoey met Allison in ninth grade. In many ways, the girl who became Zoey’s best friend and likely closest person is her complete opposite: outgoing, adventurous, impulsive, always wanting to try something new. In others, she was one of the first to make Zoey feel heard and understood, someone thoughtful and, well, easy for Zoey to be around. Allison is the only person to have ever seen Zoey’s stories, and to credit for Zoey’s belly button piercing as well as a few other of her known qualities.







Blaise Romero


Allison’s childhood friend and the other member of their trio, Blaise is quiet, an energy much closer to Zoey’s own, but charismatic, always knowing what to say and willing to take charge of many situations. The group’s voice of reason between Allison’s impulse and Zoey’s uncertainty (though certainly rebellious in his own way), and their designated driver, he’s a large reason they’re all friends to this day and here now in Campton Falls.

ersonality.










summary.


When Campton Fall's boasts about its welcoming community, Alex is one that comes to mind; kind, caring and compassionate to all (well apart from bigots), she radiates an unrivalled ray of positivity and cheerfulness. It borders on being too much, with low-energy individuals finding her exhausting after a while.

Alex brushes off most of life's woes and continues on with unparalleled confidence that can border on arrogant but overall means well. This confidence allows her to be very opinionated and isn't afraid to speak her mind (even if someone doesn't want to hear it), being quite the social activist.

Finding a friend in Alex comes with a life warranty, always ready to defend her friends or help people in need. Yet, Alex has the habit of stretching herself thin, always helping others at the expense of herself. It would help if she said no once in a while.

Unfortunately it is easier to rile her up, being quite reactionary towards people with opposing views and ideas. Furthermore, it is difficult to make her think rationally, being both childish and having her head in the clouds. Hopefully that improves with age?







positive traits.


Cheerful, adventurous, confident, compassionate, loyal, good-natured, optimistic.







negative traits.


Dreamer, opinionated, stubborn, reactive, disorganised, childish, seeks appraisal.







strengths.


An excellent tracker and navigator, a conversationalist and public speaker, artistic talent, basic first aid knowledge, high stamina and proficient at mountain climbing.

The loss of family, letting down basically anyone, being disowned, hurting someone.







ailments.


Alex is a relatively healthy teenager who has a well-balanced diet, is socially and physically active and seems to not have any allergies. Yet, she has a mild caffeine addiction to try keep her awake or else she wouldn't get everything she wants to get done.












H

istory.





A Campton Falls local, Alexandria is a daughter to one of the prominent Inuit families that continue to reside in the town. While their culture is still heavily engrained in their everyday living, they have also accepted the European way of life (albeit a few caveats). The family is anything but small, choosing to live in close proximity to each other. Alexandria was named after her great grandmother who died shortly before her conception. Her family believe her spirit was transferred to her and well, from what Alexandria is told, she is a spitting image of her great grandmother both looks and personality wise.

The Ell-Kanayuk family are well-respected among locals and considered a fundamental aspect of the town thriving (prior to the town's boom in tourism). Excellent hunters and craftsman, the family contributes a huge portion of locally sourced meat and fish, along with protective, warm clothing to survive the harsh winters. However, the introduction of cheaper, mass-produced products after the tourism boom has lessened their income.

To combat the issue, her mother created the "Journey through the Falls" tour; taking customers through a guided tour of Campton Falls and the rich history the place holds. Tourists ate it up and tours are usually booked out before arrival in town (especially during the holiday periods). Alexandria began leading tours when she was fifteen and continues to do tours after school and on weekends. Apart from the tour, their Shaman has become popular as of late with Europeans showing great interest in their healing abilities.

Alexandria represents a new-age Inuit youth who while respectful of her culture and engaging in most aspects she has her own beliefs too. Most importantly and ironically, Alexandria is vegetarian and a big advocate for animal life. If Alexandria isn't touring she is designing art, pasting her thought-provoking, activist centric pieces around town.

She loves this town and while it does limit some of her opportunities (namely attending university), Alexandria is happy to live and die in this town. It seems she may get her wish sooner than later.

hair


Brown hair parted to the side with a wave to it. Often left unkempt, Casey’s hair has grown out to reach his shoulders, and doesn’t appear to have been trimmed in some time.

h

istory.





Casey’s parents divorced while he was still too young to remember. While they both visited each of their parents frequently, Casey’s older sister had almost entirely taken on the responsibility of raising him. As someone who preferred to spend his time alone and had a fair amount of independence early on, Maddie was his only friend. That didn’t bother him.

Always eager to help, Casey spent the majority of his childhood fishing by his father’s side. If he wasn’t with his sister and mother, he was by the river. When he had slipped and fallen into the water, he nearly drowned, and had been helped by a nearby local. After the incident, Casey moved to Toronto with his mother and older sister. They visited their father less and less often.

It wasn’t long before Maddie left for university to study in the medical field—she was academic, with a bright future ahead of her, more than Casey ever was or would be. Alone, with no sense of direction, he dedicated his time to learning instruments as a hobby to pass the time.

For the holidays, Madelyn brought Casey back to Campton Falls to explore their childhood town again, and to catch up with their father.

Relationships: David Fletcher (father), Monica Everly (mother), Madelyn Fletcher (sister), Finnegan Fletcher (brother), Trent Everly (step-father).

Visage
HEIGHT: Roy stands at six feet when his posture's straight. However, he carries himself at a slouch, hunkered in and staring out.

WEIGHT: He weights in at 180 lbs.

BUILD: His thin physique might suggest he's a little too lanky for his own good, but he's deceptively strong. Between work and home-life, he's plenty of time to jog in the early mornings or late evenings, and he won't pay for a gym membership, but lugging around furniture all day keeps him relatively fit.

HAIR: Chestnut brown and wavy, he sweeps it all back with a hand. He mostly keeps his face clean shaven, loathing the feel of stubble.

EYES: He has brown eyes.

SKIN/FEATURES: Roy's complexion is fair and riddled with freckles. He's a boyish look and a soft smile, making the contrast of his hands all the more stark. Splintered all to hell and calloused, super-glue and bandaids normally adorn all ten digits.

WARDROBE: Roy dresses in layers. Long underwear, a simple tee and button down blouse, jeans, and work boots. His mother knitted him a new sweater this year, and he wears it over whatever he's thrown on for the day. It's normally the only splash of color outside of his button down and multiple layers of socks. Most always, he's sporting a beanie and gloves with some kind of grip on them. He exchanges his regular brown leather jacket for a coat with the company logo and his name patch on it when working. On the occasion he's working at the shop that day, he dons a brown apron with his name embroidered on it.

INVENTORY: He carries his wallet and a phone on him, a simple Samsung device. He also has the keys to his gran's pickup which he uses for deliveries. There's a picture of a younger woman standing on a pier in his wallet, it's been folded over and ripped at the seam, the arm around her shoulder all that remains of the person standing next to her.

FACECLAIM: Looks like Bryan Dechart.

BASICS CONT.

RACE/ETHNICITY: White Canadian
OCCUPATION: Delivers and assists in retail for Woodland Wonders.
HOME: Born in Campton Falls, bounced back and forth between Canada and New York, NY.


Personality
Roy's not long for the world as it is. It's all thinly veiled restraint, perforated by acts of violence. Your face may be bloodied, but they still expect you to put on a smile. Get up out of bed every morning even though you feel yourself becoming it. Roy slips into a skin suit which never fits right. He sits on Irene's couch with a television remote in one hand and his cheek in the other and shuts his eyes hard against waves of vertigo, turning channels blindly. It gets harder and harder to leave the house.

He feels himself falling into a slump again and that terrifies him. He's just found some sense of order here, a routine which he's been oh so adamant about following. He's narrowed in and focused on it so damn hard, he barely registers anything else that's happening around him. He wants to get better, do better... Make Irene proud, maybe, because he's really come a long ways since New York and he needs someone to notice that.

But he's tired of throwing up walls, acting as though he's unbothered by everything. He's gotten very good at pretending. Making himself feel some sort of way about how someone's day is going and how he'd be so delighted to help them when really... All he wants to do is nothing... and... everything.

Roy thinks that the emotion he projects is deceptive, because there isn't anything behind it. He's approachable and friendly, charming even when he wants to be, but he loses that grace every time he turns a corner or shuts a door and finds himself alone. He's quick to change subject, drop friends, and make rash decisions about things. He's spent his whole life treading a thin line, and he isn't prepared to lose balance by forcing himself in any one direction but forward.

The road's not pretty, but it's suited him this far, kept him alive. He's surviving and, for now, that's all that matters.

+ TRAITS: curious, upbeat, charismatic, adaptable
- TRAITS: impulsive, apathetic, self-destructive, self-absorbed

PROFICIENCIES:
Resilient. Roy's only had himself to look out for most of his life. When times got hard, he had to find his own solutions. Asking for help never came easy and so he learned how to take care of himself.

Quick on his feet. He acts well under pressure, having no real issue navigating high stress situations. There's not a whole lot of thought behind it, he merely acts and rolls with the punches. It might take him a roundabout way, but he'll commit it if it leads him to a more desirable outcome. In all honesty, he's never been a strategist. He does best with some guidance and, if given a clear objective, can follow it to a T. He's got a lot of drive, but might flounder with too much. He zeroes in, makes a list, and follows what's first. The rest comes later.

DEFICIENCIES:
Reckless. It's not that he isn't attentive. He absorbs too much and processes it too slow. He's heedless to telling signs of danger and walks through life in a haze. It might be intentional at times, but it's more often a simple mistake with hard consequences.

Fleeting loyalties. He doesn't trust himself with close personal relationships. He gets too attached and they only wind up leaving or pushing him away. He hates feeling used or temporary in another person's life. If that's all he is to them and it's gotten them this far, he might as well adopt that same tactic.

FEARS: Above most things, he fears being alone. As hard as he tries to keep people distant, he can't be totally without them.

AILMENTS: Roy tries to self-treat chronic depression.
Biography
RELATIONSHIPS:

Irene Bartley (grandmother, retired carpenter, 70)
Danika "Dan" Gardiner (Irene's longtime partner, owner of Woodland Wonders, 64)
Jessie Gardiner (coworker, Dan's son, 33)
Lorraine "Rainy" Ortiz (mother, Irene's daughter-in-law, 47)
Thomas Ortiz (step-father, father of two, 51)

BACKSTORY:

It's the hap- happiest season of all.

Every business situated along Campton Avenue would have you believing it. Their store fronts are done up in garland and gaudy ornaments. The snow outside glistens, emblazoned by strings of flashing lights. Bells and carols and excited chatter drifts through every open door. Roy had hopes the weather here might deter winter travel, but the holiday season in Campton Falls brings its own appeal to determined guests.

Business at Woodland Wonders is at an all time high and all should be good. It should be.

But the handcrafted furniture shop's owner is out after taking a tumble the week prior. Dan's in the hospital with three broken ribs and pneumonia. Unable to visit her due to new visitor restrictions, Irene calls her every night. Even without speaker, Roy can hear Dan's watery coughs over the phone's receiver.

Irene's retired from business, but she pulls shifts at Woodland Wonders just to make sure ends meet. Everyone knows Roy isn't equipped to keep a business up and running, and though Jessie's learning, he still struggles with the basics. Business booms and they're struggling to keep up. Irene's put her carpentry projects at home on pause, and instead of pulling Roy in to help her every evening, they both crash on the couch with a beer and watch television till it's time to go to bed. They practically live on takeout.

He should be stressed, worried even, but Roy's never felt so content with a routine. And isn't that just what the doctor ordered? Some semblance of control in an otherwise chaotic way of life. Instead of living out of a four door sedan, he has a roof over his head. He isn't working odd and unpredictable jobs that barely pay, but one with some security. Irene may be a mean-spirited motivator, but he is truely grateful to have food and warmth and a damn shower at the end of the day.

It's a flashback to the early years when his mother used to send him here when things got too rough at home. He used to think it was because of his attitude, that Irene was supposed to sort him out with that strict, military disposition she'd never quite shaken. He even used to make jokes about waking up to the sound of Reveille every morning and standing at attention next to a perfectly made bed.

But Irene's chilled out over the years. Nowadays, she just looks tired. Jessie checks on her just as much as he does his own mom. He brings her home-cooked meals which they sit down at the kitchen table to eat together. He tells her about his volunteer work at the soup kitchen and how his cats are doing, and she almost smiles when he suggests they facetime Dan. She hasn't quite learned the complexities of phones yet and appreciates seeing Dan's face no matter how half-sunken it looks.

He may not be on speaking terms with his own mom, but Jessie's compassion is so goddamn contagious Roy contemplates a phone call every time he's over. It is the holiday season after all... And the town's cheer is so unavoidable... He could try making amends before the festivities are over. Hell, she's already sent him a sweater as a peace offering, and though he wears it every damn day, he likes to pretend it's just because it gets really fucking cold this far north.

But she must be so busy playing house with some rich tool and his two bratty kids, living it high in a three story mansion while he roamed the streets like a stray fucking dog.

No. For the time being, he's fine pretending.

FRANK.















B

asics.










FULL NAME


Francis Jerry Buck.







NICKNAME(S)


Prefers Frank or Buck.







AGE


Forty-three (5th May).







GENDER


Cis-male (he/him).







SEXUALITY


Bisexual.







ETHNICITY


White Canadian.







OCCUPATION


Lumberjack.







HOME


Campton Falls, Alberta.













A

ppearance.










hair.


A shaggy, unkempt mess that makes it clear he cuts his own hair (ever since his wife left). Brown hair that is peppered with grey and seemingly always littered with sawdust. Currently sporting a circle beard but its not uncommon to see him with a full beard.







eyes.


Tired and scrutinizing, Frank's hazel eyes are in a constant state of unintentional anger.







skin.


Barely tan from the constant cold, his rough and hair-covered skin has seen better days. His face is etched with lines and hands coarse with hard labour.







body/build.


Standing almost at 6'3, Frank is rather imposing with his hulking arms and broad shoulders with chopping wood all day. While not one for cardio, his musculars are more bulky than lean.







dist. features.


Prominent frown lines, gruff voice and a wedding ring tan.







wardrobe.


A simple man, Frank's wardrobe once was filled with clothes from his wife. Now he keeps it simple in clothes that have seen better days, having dulled, frayed and faded with time. Commonly found in blue jeans, his go-to cargo jacket and the same t-shirt but in different colours.







inventory.


A well-loved, friendship bracelet that has cube-beading, spelling "BEST DAD", a very old iPhone that barely loads and his wallet that houses photos of his kids, ex-wife and holds his wedding ring.







face claim.


Hugh Jackman (specifically in Prisoners).












P

ersonality.










summary.


Frank is a man who is perpetually trapped in the past. He has almost accepted his fate and is incredibly complacent with all facets of his life which has let the better aspects of his life slip through his fingers. An unmoving boulder is what his ex-wife described him as, with an inability to recognise what was happening right before him. In fact, Frank is seemingly oblivious to what is happening around him and the intention of other people (the amount of single mothers that have outwardly flirted without him recognising it). Even when a change is necessary, Frank struggles to make a decision and dwells on it for far too long instead of taking action.

While he has his flaws, Frank is incredibly hardworking and steadfast in most aspects of his life. Tough to a fault and able to handle most of what life throws at him, impassively taking it on without complaint. While some may not agree, Frank is a fantastic father who is not only supportive but protective of his children and anyone close to him. While he is passive about how the world reacts towards him, he won't tolerate the harm of those he loves.

Overall, its not hard to see Frank exactly how he displays himself — a simple man with simple wants and needs. Yet, he is more than that and if he was more in touch with his emotions, maybe he would recognise what he truly needs to live a content life.







positive traits.


Hardworking, modest, steadfast, protective, supportive, honest, tough.







negative traits.


Complacent, short-sighted, passive, hesitant, oblivious, imperceptive.







strengths.


Extraordinary upper-body strength, proficient with an axe, knows his trees, bit of a green thumb, high pain tolerance, not a bad shot with a rifle.







weaknesses.


Struggles to recognise one's emotions, minces his words, slow reader and not great with literacy.







fears.


Losing his son, never seeing his daughter or ex-wife again and emotions.







ailments.


While he hates going to the doctors, Frank would be someone who is diagnosed with mild depression, which is worsened around the holiday period since his separation.












H

istory.





Frank's history is rather straightforward. A lumberjack's son who was born in Campton Falls and would soon fill his shoes. His father died to lung cancer when he was young and was raised by his resilient mother. Never a fan of school, Frank quickly dropped out and began doing the same thing he's been doing for the past twenty years — felling trees.

He met his ex-wife, Janine, during one of her yearly family holidays to Campton Falls. What started as a fling eventually led to pregnancy and marriage. Janine moved to Campton Falls for Frank and the two went on to have two beautiful children (Katie and Nathaniel). As the years went by, it became clear that Frank's inability to see a life outside of Campton Falls was damaging his marriage. Yet, the final straw was after their son's accident.

During a hunting trip, Frank's brother accidently shot a twelve-year-old Nathaniel, having mistaken him for an animal. Fortunately his son survived, yet was paralysed from the waist down and his now wheelchair bound. Eventually Janine had enough and divorced Frank, moving back to the U.S. with Katie. Nathaniel decided to stay but mainly out of his guilt for his father who would of been all alone.

Five years since their separation, Frank foolishly remains the same man he once was, as though still not getting it through his head that he was led to his divorce. Does Frank still have time to change his ways or is it too late?

    march 9th, xxxx
    I’ve never felt a pain like this before… i can’t even describe what i’m feeling.

    Realizing that you didn’t make it felt like the world went still, as if time just stopped.

    Why couldn’t it have been me..? Why did i have to live and you had to go, it’s not fair… none of this is fair.

    August 15th, xxxx
    it’s been a few months… it still feels fresh. the pain is cutting like a knife, i just wished it would stop.

    Im starting to feel somewhat better… but there’s only so much these pain meds can do.

    I don’t think i’ll ever get past this Franklin, you were special and i could never admit it but… you definitely took a chunk of me when you died.

    i’ll never stop missing you Franklin, no matter how long times past.

    August 17th, xxxx
    I can’t do this Franklin…

    Everything reminds me of you somehow and i can’t stand it.

    I sometimes wished I never even met you because I know if i didnt.. this wouldn’t be hurting so bad.

    I want this pain to stop and i don’t know how to make it stop.

    Maybe if i just plastered my brains on the wall it would stop.. i wouldn’t feel so lonely and scared anymore

    God… I wish you were here

    march 9th xxxx;
    well it’s been a year since you’ve been gone and i havent touched this notebook since the last time i wrote it in.

    i haven’t felt as sad as before.. and that hurts. i feel guilty,, as if i’m forgetting you or something… but i know it’s just the grieve talking.

    i know i need to move forward, not to forget you but to keep myself from killing my self.

    you’d probably be upset with me still mopping about and i get it

    but sometimes it’s hard whenever people still come up to me asking me about you and telling me how sorry they were… it’s hard some days but i know you’d be proud of me.
