The town of Ridgeway, Pennsylvania, is a quiet town. Always has been, from the time it was established. It rests quietly in the valley in the North Eastern region of Pennsylvania, and is secluded from most of the rest of the valley. It has a population of about 2,000, and everybody knows everybody.

Like any small town in the middle of nowhere, it has it's share of urban legends. Some are very unbelievable, like the story of the woman who haunts the abandoned school because her students were bad to her. But some of them, specifically one of them, are still questioned and feared today, in 2015. The one mysterious rumor that the town is known for.

This legend is unnamed, but everybody knows of it. The story goes, that in deep in the woods surrounding the town, there are train tracks. Tracks, that lead to an unused tunnel. Nobody knows how long the tunnel is, because nobody goes into it. However, the rumor says that there is a mirror of the town on the other side. Exactly the same as it is on the true side, but it's always raining. Some claim to have seen it, but not many are telling the truth. Nobody has adventured INTO the mirrored town of Ridgeway, because it has a certain feeling of gloom over it. Like something is missing. Not much is known about Other Ridgeway. But it's time something is discovered...

And it's up to some residents of the town. Who else? Nobody goes there from the outside. A small group of curious people from Ridgeway will attempt to discover the mystery of it's twin. But can you solve the mystery? Or is there a darker force over Ridgeway, waiting to stop you?

In this roleplay, you will play the role of one of the members of a small group of adventurous residents of Ridgeway, Pennsylvania. I will wait for some show of interest from others before I post a character sheet skeleton.

Seems interesting. Count me in!

@RogueDetective
Count me in, I'll put my character up as soon as the Character sheet is up :)

Okay! Here's a character sheet for who we have!
Just Post them here!

Name:

Age:

Appearance:

Back-story/Biography:

Skills/Defining Characteristics:

Name: Jason "Jay" McNeil

Age: 19

Appearance: Jay McNeil is a slender-ish teen, standing at about 5'11". He has short brown hair, his bangs falling midway down his forehead, and swooping slightly to the left. His face is very average, not too thin, but he has a slightly defined jaw. He has white skin that is just a tad tanned, and he has freckles on his chest and shoulder areas. Jay generally wears a signature red plaid flannel shirt, over top of a band t-shirt. He wears usually khaki colored skinny jeans, and a pair of red Vans.

Back-story/Biography: Jay McNeil hasn't always lived in Ridgeway. He used to live in Scranton, Pennsylvania with his parents until the age of 14. His parents eventually went through some specific family problems, and they weren't allowed to raise their son Jay anymore. After that, Jay was allowed to move in with his brother Nick, who is a car mechanic in Ridgeway. Nick is about 28 years old, and now takes care of Jay, supportive of most everything he does. This causes Jay to be a relatively rebellious teenager. He recently graduated high school, class of 2015, and has plans to go to college to be a film director. However, he has a certain love for urban exploring, roaming through old destroyed and abandoned buildings. Before he leaves for college in the Winter time, he plans on exploring the abandoned tunnel in the forest around Ridgeway.

Skills/Defining Characteristics: Jay is a very fast runner, and he has used that to his advantage in his lifetime, escaping the police whenever he was doing things he shouldn't have.

Name: Tabetha "Abby" Loren

Age: 17

Appearance:


Back-story/Biography: Abby Has always lived in Ridgeway, and has hated every minute of it. Her goal is to study hard so she can get into a good college far from home. Her favorite classes have always been science and math type stuff, so she's above most of her grade in both those subjects. After finishing her junior year however she realized something, she barely has any friends and has not done anything that non-academics would think 'cool' since she was in Elementary school. Therefore she has a new motto: Seek the extraordinary.

Skills/Defining Characteristics: She's smart and knows how to solve problems. Most scientific and mathematical knowledge can be applied to the real world, and she's pretty good at doing just that.

Interesting

Name: Stevie Redbird

Age: 18

Appearance:

Back-story/Biography: Stevie has been living in Riverdale for two years. She moved there at the start of her 16th year of life after a extremely bad break up with a boyfriend she had ever since she was 13. Though reckless sometimes, she knows when it time to use her head and think clearly of what she needs to do. She is a sweet girl though she hides it with a cold mask she had made when she first moved to Riverdale

Skills/Defining Characteristics: She is a puzzle solving type of person who always has a sharp eye for any clues that can help her with any situation. She is also a history geek and knows how to imply past history with the present.

Hope she is ok

I know it wasn't really mentioned in the first post, but was shown more in context clues, but this roleplay will get very dark, twisted, and somewhat demented.

I kinda thought so... in my experience mirrored towns and such aren't usually candyland.

@RogueDetective Are you still accepting more people for this RP?

I'll get a CS up either today with the boyfriend is sleeping or Monday.

I Hope you're still accepting.
In order to be fair I have to say that I won't be able to post every day (hope it's acceptable).

Name: James Iehezkel Swift
Age: 31
Appearance: Tall pleasant looking man with curly short hair, intelligent eyes and a goatee.
James has a sporty body structure with broad shoulders and a scar above his left eye.
Has a tattoo of the star of david on his right shoulder.
Bio:
James is actually a computer programmer by profession but he got tired of the continuous pressure and deadlines,
so he came to Ridgway for a getaway.
Despite his profession, James grew up in a bad neighbourhood, so he is a rather skilled martial artist because he had no choice but start training in a very young age and use it for self defence numerous times.

Skills: Generally very intelligent and perceptive, has a good understanding of technology (i.e. good with computers and mechanical equipment),
a very skilled and experienced martial artist(melee), trained in different martial arts disciplines.

Disadvantages:
Bad with guns and other ranged weapons(most likely to shoot himself in the foot), new in Ridgway so doesn't know much about it.

@Resentment Fray Yes, I AM still accepting. Sorry for the wait, I got a bit busy with work.

@RogueDetective
Name:Johanna A. (Atticus) Fray

Age:19

Appearance:

A young woman of a more stoic, reserved disposition, Johanna is notable for her long black hair with its many waves and layers that leave it resembling a nest of feathers, her relatively fair skin with its slightly yellowed tint, and sharp olive green eyes. She is rather short in stature and doesn't seem to surpass five feet in height by much. While small, she is on the leaner side of stocky and has a hidden physical fitness that isn't apparent until called into use. Typically, Johanna will wear darker pants or dark wash jeans, leather sandals, loosely fitting button up shirts with a tank underneath, and will almost always have her hooded grey leather jacket.

Back-story/Biography:

A college student, Johanna had previously lived in Ridgeway when she was a child and recalled enough of the suspicious folk tales to consider it a potentially interesting place to live in after completing high school in Rochester, New York. She applied to a university local to the area and is currently studying mass communications and English to later pursue a career in journalism. She currently works at the local hardware store as a cashier and stock girl, and is the only female working there when the owner's wife or young daughter aren't present for their brief visits. Johanna is anticipating on writing an Honors thesis on her own investigations over the town and its urban legends.

Skills/Defining Characteristics:

Due to her studies and her impeccable record, one can distinguish Johanna as a rather accomplished student. She is thorough, analytical, intuitive, and never asks more questions than needed. She has a knack for patterns and sequences, able to place together clues quite quickly and efficiently. Despite this, she seems to not be sociable although she is far from shy. She simply doesn't engage in conversation she finds pointless.

Having trained in Goju Ryu style karate since the age of 10, Johanna is a highly proficient martial artist that continue to practice and train to this day. While she has told very few people about her second degree black belt, those who have encountered her in a friendly spar or attacked her in a hostile environment note her brutal power, speed, and accuracy. She is aware of how to use a firearm although seems to not be overly skilled at it. She can wield a knife or long staff due to her training in Okinawan style. Overall, Johanna retains a rather fit physique and clear head.

We can start soon, everyone! Once I have the time (Probably tonight) We can actually start up the Roleplay.

Awesome!
