@Mokley Is it okay if I made my investigator guy a former cop? Or a former journalist?
I'm not sure if I'll have the time to commit to this, more on that later. But I at least had the time to create a fun character.
WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S NAME? WHAT DO THEY PREFER TO BE CALLED?
João Reis. His main online name is Zoro. In professional contexts he prefers Mister Reis since Americans can't pronounce his name properly.
HOW ARE THEY BEST RECOGNIZED IN A CROWD?
He's the 30-something white guy in the overpriced black and white business suit wearing Google Glasses and sporting shoulder-length black hair. Outside of work, he wears computer game themed T-shirts and black skinny jeans.
WHAT IS A STRANGER'S FIRST IMPRESSION UPON MEETING THEM? HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER SEE THEMSELVES?
Most people are a bit confused seeing a sharply dressed man wearing Google Glasses. Is he a fancy classical pianist? A lawyer? An IT director? Whatever the case, he seems friendly and carries himself with confidence.
João sees himself as a sleek, hardworking go-getter and alpha male. He is immensely proud of his accomplishments and exorbitant salary. But he's just as much a hardcore competitive gamer as an urban professional. He also fancies himself as the epitome of a rational being.
WHERE DID THEY GROW UP? WHERE DO THEY FEEL AT HOME?
He was raised in a gated community just outside Minneapolis, but for most of his adult life he has spent just as much time in airport lounges as in whatever skyrise apartment he's currently living at. He still considers Minneapolis to be his hometown, but is comfortable in any metropolitan area.
WHO ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN THEIR LIVES?
His parents and siblings come in first place, closely followed by his gamer friend and former college roommate, Eddy "Seph" Green. Until recently he was engaged to be married to one of the Senior Partners at his firm, but things took a turn for the worst and it's unlikely they'll ever get back together again. He still keeps in touch with one of his first girlfriends, who is one of the few people he feels comfortable talking to without his facade of competence.
WHAT IS THEIR PROFESSION, SKILL OR LIFESTYLE? WHAT DO THEY THINK THEIR STRENGTHS ARE? WHAT ARE THEIR ACTUAL STRENGTHS?
João works for Reed Westland Consulting, which is a municipal management consulting firm serving hundreds of clients throughout the world. His specialty is organizing advertising campaigns to attract businesses to relocate to a city, but he sometimes does tourism campaigns as well. He graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with a degree in political science, and was awarded an MBA from Columbia University. He is a very driven and competitive individual who is able to stay focused on a single task and get things done. Sometimes part of getting things done involves crossing lines and dabbling in moral grey areas, something João can do without feeling too guilty about it.
He's also an accomplished gamer. He's set several speed run records on various SNES and PS1 games, and used to play in a top ranked WoW clan and compete in Star Craft tournaments. Other skills include calligraphy and playing the violin.
WHAT ARE THEIR FEARS, FLAWS AND SECRETS?
His greatest fear is that everyone will find out that he's not nearly as good at everything as he lets on. He goes out of his way to project an image of a flawless professional and hardcore gamer, and while he is undisputably great at both things he is happy to let others assume he is even better than he actually is. He is also worried that someday his colleagues will discover that he has a drug problem or that he is actually the gamer known as Zoro, an identity he takes great lengths to keep separate from his professional life. As part of his alpha male lifestyle he never feels satisfied with just one woman at a time, resulting in his current disastrous relationship with his ex-fiance and coworker as well as scores of previous girlfriends. More generally, he is a bit of a machiavellian manipulator and deciever, although seldom an outright jerk. He is frequently stressed out and turns to drugs and booze to deal with this problem, resulting in a repeating cycle of drug binges followed by days or weeks of going cold turkey before giving in again.
WHAT DO THEY WANT MOST? WHAT DO THEY ACTUALLY NEED?
What he wants most is to start his own family and find more time to devote to gaming, but he is also still deeply concerned with advancing his career. He really wishes he had a decent-sized gang of very close friends he could form deep everlasting bonds with, like what happens in a typical JRPG. What he really needs is a nice long vacation away from work and competitive gaming.
IF YOUR CHARACTER COULD HAVE ANY SUPERNATURAL ABILITY, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Mind control!
WHY ARE THEY HERE IN DUSKWICK? WHAT IS THEIR OPINION OF THE STRANGE RUMORS?
João came to Duskwick on a job. It turns out the strange rumors have really hurt business, aside from those catering to youtubers and paranormal investigators anyway, and so the town sought out the services of Reed Westland Consulting in order to come up with ways to restore their image and convince businesses to come back. João would normally never accept a measly paying assignment to a small town like this, but he needed an excuse to get away from the office for awhile due to serious relationship problems with one of the firm's senior partners who was also until recently João's fiance. He was also intrigued at the bizarre rumors, and felt it would be fun to try to disprove all those crazy conspiracy theorists during his stay.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THIS CHARACTER CHANGE AND DEVELOP?
I'm picturing a "City slicker ends up humbling himself and appreciating small town values" arc, as well as possibly finding a gang of awesome friends or falling in love.
PITCH A SMALL SUBPLOT THAT WOULD BE PERSONALLY MEANINGFUL TO YOUR CHARACTER.
Zoro (João's gamer name) attends a LAN party held in a creepy mansion so he can put the locals in their place and show off his mad skills. But then the power goes out. There's a generator outside... but it's night. Those strange stories were just small town superstitions that shouldn't concern the mighty Zoro, right?
A visiting youtuber posted a video purpotedly showing a local woman being mauled and eaten by a tiger. Now it's João's job to spin the story into a reason why Duskwick is a such a great place to do business.

Wearing her absurdly, bulky mechanical suit usually gets D the most attention. However, she is not always dressed for the job, and on occasion, there probably has been some (poor) young chap or gal who might happen to have taken some sort of liking to her. Whether it was her athletically portrayed dark pigtails or that vacantly attentive stare -- no one is really too certain (maybe her body is toned nicely because otherwise, she's a Plain Jane), because she's usually off chasing some new whimsical adventure without much mind for random happen chances.

It is not that D feels badly for being in the business, especially since it is technically her family's business. However, her father's depression has gotten much worse in the past couple of years, and being away from him feels wrong. He is probably lonely, and instead of comforting him like a good daughter, she is busy being a career driven woman by running around in paranormal paradoxes. On the other hand, the business cannot simply go waste. There is too much meaning and reasoning behind it existing. She has a duty to uphold and while, sometimes it's hard to hold a smile on her face, especially with the automatically redundant reactions the "Uninformed" give her, it's rewarding in an abnormally, phenomenal way, and she would much rather have this life than that of a boring "Normie." The struggle is real, but she thinks she is handling it the best way possible: with a positive, straight-forward attitude. Duty is obligation, and her father should know this better than anyone else. He is the one who taught her this.

D did not grow up in one singular location, but her memory has fairly furnished recollections of New Mexican trailer parks and beautiful white sand deserts. It is where her father currently resides, or where she last left him -- He is probably still there. His text messages do not indicate otherwise, and she was definitely spending time with him, last week. Nevertheless, despite how vibrant and gorgeous the sun rises and sets in the desert skies of the Land of Enchantment, D feels most at home inside her Mecha-GO Suit.

★ ★ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━▌▌▌▌▌▶︎ ★
It was love at 100th+ sight for D's father and mother. Both had been working the field for a while and knew of each other for almost just as long. The story is not quite sure who caved first, but D likes to think they fell at the same time. She sees them as equals, both with their specialties and flaws. Neither are more loved or less favored. They are also all she truly knows, aside from herself and Aubrey. She has almost always known that parents are not around forever, especially when dealing with extraterrestrial experiences. The loss of her mother came more quickly than she had planned, but that was death. It is rarely a convenient thing, but the downfall of her father's mental state and physical state after the loss was not something she had expected. It makes her believe that maybe he fell first and was expecting to die first, too.
Aubrey is a rare breed of humans to D. She is the only person in all her life that has maintained a long distant friendship with her. D has had online acquaintances, but Aubrey is the one who never failed to be consistently in touch with her. Although, recently, she has been busy with her boyfriend and planning some future that seems to be far less romantic and fun than she and D had been daydreaming through snail mail letters, texting, and those sought after video chats. D wishes Aubrey could be part of the family business, and is sad to see her friend turning into another regular human. On the up side, D tells herself that at least Aubrey will not go missing like her mother has, which is comforting in its own way even if Aubrey might be replacing her with some boy, who she has not even had the chance to scout and approve, yet.

𝒲hat is 𝒮onya’s profession, skill, or lifestyle?
&
𝒲hat does 𝒮onya think her strengths are?
★ ★ ★ ▆ ▆ ▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆ ▆ ▆ ★ ★ ★
Running the family business as a freelance Professional Paranormal Investigator is a bit trickier with the odds and bits than D prefers, but the lifestyle is all she has ever known. She feels at home in her Mecha-GO suit, after all. Having been cradled and nurtured into the supernatural world, turning a blind eye to the paranormal would be considered living some sort of lie, void of reality. Her mind is conditioned to constantly wander and comb the atmosphere for the preternatural anomalies, and she has some cool gadgets and gizmos to help her find these metaphysical treasures.
D's pleasantly pleased with her abilities and even if she could turn away from the paranormal, she is not too sure her savvy nature would take her into a stable position with the Normies. She has a general sense of ease when it comes to being in near-death situations, which is due to mental and physical training, and she also has a high understanding of the current mechanisms at her disposal. Put all of this together, and D is under the impression that the only way her mindset and abilities could be put to good use in the Normie World is if she worked as a Secret Agent or something of that nature, but then she'd be working for the enemy... or one of them.

★ ★ ★ ▆ ▆ ▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆ ▆ ▆ ★ ★ ★
D is a fearless female. She can also roar, but usually she just zaps things since it's less noisy, not as provocative, and seemingly more congruent with whatever she is trying to do. With that said, she is focused, even if it is to the point of looking zany, which lands her in the creative, coloring and drawing outside of the lines. Rules are set forth for a reason, and they are broken for a reason. Only Baddies and criminals break the rules for nothing. D is also under the impression that she can kick your ass if she wanted to, and even if she can't, what doesn't kill her only makes her stronger. It is safe to color her confident and courageous with a sprinkled side of carefree positivism.

With a weakness for not blending into the crowd, D has a pension for sticking out like a sore thumb, while also holding some wavering flamboyant flag of pride about it. She has a fear of being one of the Normies and prefers her social status to be as it is. Unfortunately or fortunately, she has a fairly genial disposition, which often times leads to people trying to make too friendly with her. She thinks of herself as too busy chasing the occult and not having any time or desire for friends. Her father wishes she would try to settle down and live a more normal lifestyle, but D knows better than to take his contradictory advice.

★ ★ ★ ▆ ▆ ▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆ ▆ ▆ ★ ★ ★
Her mother went missing several years ago during a mission, and D is dogged to find her, if she is even still alive. D would also like to grow the business, hirer some sidekicks employees and kick the freelancing gig for good. The higher agencies can be a hassle to bother, and they have these strange stipulations about keeping the public uninformed. It miffs her, but it is what she has right now. A more gigged out suit is in the books, as well... and a new laser gun.
But, what she really needs is some solid companionship. Currently, all she has is her father and her childhood bestie and long-time pen-pal, Aubrey. Aubrey is In-the-Know and also the only person who has ever been able to be D's friend in the course of all the humans that D has ever met. Unfortunately, Aubrey is headed to college this year, and she has little time to worry about paranormal activities. In fact, she wishes D would attend the same college as her or at least, move to the same state. They used to daydream about being roommates, but that dream died with the disappearance of D's mother. D finds it interesting and not so coincidental that Aubrey has also been less responsive to her messages since getting a boyfriend. There's nothing like paranormal investigations to fill the voids of loneliness, even if they are the cause of all the attachment issues, right?

It is obvious that some sort of paranormal activity is happening. D has several hypothesis on the subject and is extremely excited to get down to business. She will probably start at Fog Lake after reviewing Wikipedia Articles reputable sources for more information on the town's historical background. She has the specs of her goggles bidding on some ancient lands and occult practices tying into the indigenous people and some sort of otherworldly realm that feels it's rights have been infringed due to some local or federal activity.

Seeing D settle down, be more conscientious, learn a bit of empathy for others, and make friends would be nice. She holds rosy-colored lenses for the paranormal and has not a clue how to comprehend the way a person who is new to the truth is feeling. She also has little regard for her father's current emotions and opinions and almost sees him as weak for having fallen into a depression. Call her detached or a little afraid of getting hurt, the girl still needs to see reality from both sides of the coin, lest she begin hurting the people around her -- because she's not the only protagonist running around in the world. With great power comes great responsibility!

𝒮onya’s Small Plot Pitch
★ ★ ★ ▆ ▆ ▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆ ▆ ▆ ★ ★ ★
Several years ago, her mother went missing during an investigation. D believes her mother is still out there, while her father holds a much more morbid approach. Her father fell into a deep depression, and to keep afloat he registered himself as a certified alcoholic, complete with foul breath and fits of rage. He is usually more depressed than angry, though. D gives him leeway, even if she thinks he is taking the easy-way out. On occasion, her father will get into a drunken fit about how his wife was taken from him by the FBI or some conspiracy thing, like his small-privately owned paranormal agency was a threat to the big guys. D thinks her mother is trapped in another dimension or world, but she keeps a fly on her ear for any tinfoil hat, boiler room talk just in case.

Hey guys, I just got to thinking and wanted to just shout this out there:
Darcy has been living in Duskwick her whole life (minus the several years she was away at College) so if any Duskwick natives want to build together some sort of plot together - let me know.
It can be as simple as "I went to pre-k with her and watched her eat glue. She was such a weirdo... but I also ate crayons so what does that make me?!"
Just something to try and start building up more of the RP early on. ^_^

@Not Fishing This looks a little more realistic compared to the rest of his CS! (If you were to say he was being hunted by the mafia or some bad people had threatened him for something he wrote, for example -- or maybe someone he's close to was killed on the job and he's scared to death of being next, or something -- the excess violent skills might be justified!) He's totally approved, go ahead and copy him to the characters tab!
@lady horatio Aw Jill is great! It'll be fun to see her decisions, seems she'll be full of surprises. Take your time with the plot thingy! (but I may remind you later!) Totally approved, please copy her to the characters tab!
@DJAtomika Sure! Why not? :D
@Zoro This is ... really specific. As if you're basing some of it on personal experience? The concept is great, that this dude's got a few things to learn about humility. I gather that he's really not that great in all the skills he claims to be awesome in, haha. I'm not positive how to spin the town-hiring-a-consultant thing though, from a mod standpoint, since I'm not that familiar with it. He would have meetings with the mayor, perhaps? Town council? He has to experience the town to know how to market it? What kind of business would they be trying to attract, if not the new influx of tourist money from ghost-hunters? :D If I understand specifically why the town is hiring a consultant, it'd be easier to play the NPCs involved.
Perhaps it's a private individual who's hired him (I just can't imagine a town agreeing to pay tax money for his services, but it's possible) -- a high profile person whose business depends on Duskwick somehow, whose recent efforts (for example) to mold the town into something more upscale have been thwarted by this rumor. This person would then need a consultant to attract back the high rollers who've started to turn their backs on the project. Maybe? I dunno, it seems a consultant's arrival might be reason to insert another source of conflict in town. :D
Also, a youtuber may well have posted a pic of a lady being mauled by a tiger in Duskwick, but it's faked. ;) Who knows whether anyone would know that though! Could be a plot point! Nobody has been hurt except by falling while running away from stuff. But then, no one knows what happened to the people who vanished.
@Briza D is great! It'll be cool to see her opinions on stuff and how she investigates. I do have to ask though: what is the actual reason for the suit as opposed to the normal paranormal investigation equipment (is there an advantage to having heavy armor?) and what exactly is this equipment capable of ... and why? Did I see a mention of laser guns?? Explain plz? xD

What I'm curious about is how a freelance paranormal investigator has the budget for a mech suit.

D's laser gun is more so in reference to Ghostbusters Universe's proton guns, which shall not be destroying buildings, and her suit is not just a Mecha-Paranormal Hazmat Suit Carry-All but also a protective armor that shields her as she transports through energy fields, toxic environments, artificial conditioning, navigation, communication abilities, and above all else, the ability to beat up any potential dangerous monstrosities.
Actually, I am mistaken. It is just a Mecha-Paranormal Hazmat Suit Carry-All. Ho hum.
Edit: She also gets night vision and evp recorders and et cetera with the suit.

@Briza We can all dream! So it's just LOTS OF POCKETS. From which may appear any number of common investigation devices or paranormal paraphernalia with imaginative names. Doubles as a hazmat gas-mask situation for those decrepit and crumbling and asbestos-and-mold-filled basements where ghosts hide. (I've seen Ghost Adventures, the need for hazmat is real. xD) Ok I get ya. Go ahead and copy her to characters tab. :3

Gary isn't a disaster.
Just a bit unsatisfied with his life.
Sorry, no offense meant! I was just really amused by how many of our chosen characters had questionable people skills. Watching them all fall together will be mighty entertaining.

Aww, thank you so much! I'm really excited to take her for a spin, and Duskwick is such a nifty setting to play around in. I'll get her all settled in the char tab and fiddle with her CS (plot part included) as-needed. I should probably put her age in there somewhere… Given her circumstances and the age range of the rest of the cast, I'm thinking early- to mid-twenties.

We need a name for this rag-tag socially awkward crew of supernatural hunters...
I have some ideas.
-Spiritcrushers.
-The Enfield Brothers.
-Puzzle Industries.
-Dentist Whom
-The Warlockers
-The Sunwatch.
All of these names are totally original, and are absolutely not ripped off of other groups from other forms of fiction.

I like your direction @Mokley. Perhaps the town had been having financial troubles for some time, and the new mayor got elected based on grandiose promises to fix the city up. After a landslide election night victory, the mayor made sweeping changes designed to turn the town into a bunch of McMansions inside gated communities, and replacing the mom and pop stores along the historic main street with high end boutiques that only the new McMansioners and tourists could afford to shop at. A few months ago the mayor called in the last of their favors in order to build a fancy private golf course in the gully where everyone used to play, which prompted a huge backlash from most long-time residents who suddenly preferred to keep their beloved pot-hole ridden streets instead of selling out to big business. And then the paranormal rumors happened, and many of the McMansion real estate developers and boutiques backed out. The mayor is now facing re-election with nothing to show except a lot of pissed off residents. Cleaning up the town's image and getting these businesses to recommit to their plans is now the mayor's top priority. The influx of paranormal investigators isn't anywhere near as profitable as acres upon acres of million dollar homes, so the mayor doesn't care about squashing that booming industry along the way.

@Zoro, I am super interested in your character and can't wait to see him in action.
That said, there is, like, a ninety-nine percent chance that Jill is going to hate him. There's a small margin of possibility for the world's unlikeliest friendship, and the rest is just…seething dislike. xD Either way, I can't wait for shenanigans. (And that goes for everybody! I can't wait to see who meets whom first and what kinds of sparks fly.)

Well, I'm pretty sure we're all starting in the same diner. I'm considering seeing if Mok would be willing to just make it The Fed Zone, but the point is that we'll probably all meet each other right at the start.

I'd say it's on the smaller side. Probably closer to a cafe, but with good food that feels like a real meal when you eat it. Big stuff, you know? Also, I have little doubt that Ellie, the ambitious lady that she is, has jumped on this whole mystery big time, using it to attract more people inside.

@Zoro good points! I'll think about the specifics and let you know,but I'd like to play your character's employer as a mod npc,simply because I see potential for big plot involvement and secrets. I'll let you know after I've done npc creation. In any case he's approved! Please copy to character tab. :D
EVERYONE: please give me a list of npcs you plan on playing (family members, coworkers etc) so I don't make plans for them. Or tell me I have free reign to create them. :D

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
"David. David Sawyer."
HOW ARE YOU BEST RECOGNIZED IN A CROWD?
"I uh...always carry my camera on a strap around my neck. I've also got a brown leather satchel that has my other essentials, lenses and water and whatnot."
WHAT IS A STRANGER'S FIRST IMPRESSION UPON MEETING YOU? HOW DO SEE YOURSELF?
"I... I'm not sure, I've never been asked this question before. I guess I'm a sort of...calm person? I like to socialise with others, y'know, talk about stuff we like and whatnot, but I'm not much of an outgoing type. I can talk for long hours about subjects we both like, but don't expect me to start the conversation myself. If a stranger first meets me, I guess they'll see the gruff, worn exterior and think I'm some sorta guy who's seen a lot, and frankly they wouldn't be wrong. But I'm just a man that did his job until the job made me quit."
WHERE DID YOU GROW UP? WHERE DO YOU FEEL AT HOME?
"I was born in Boston, Massachusetts, to a pair of loving, doting parents that never thought I'd grow up to be a journalist. I feel most at home behind the lens of my camera, capturing pictures and telling stories through still images. To be able to show someone the story of a life, or the emotions in a scene through pictures...that's the greatest pleasure."
WHO ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE?
"Gee, I've never been asked that question before. Truth be told, there weren't a lot of people in my life after my folks passed on and I got into journalism as a career. I would probably say... Jeffrey Nolan, my editor. He was like a brother to me, up until I resigned. We still talk regularly and I like to send him the best snaps of my overseas trips from time to time."
WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION, SKILL OR LIFESTYLE? WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR STRENGTHS ARE? WHAT ARE YOUR ACTUAL STRENGTHS?
"I am a photographer. Former journalist and international correspondent for a big Boston news agency. I've been around the world, covering many different stories, about war, famine, pestilence and death, and of life, love, prosperity and glory. I spent the last twenty or so years of my life writing stories to go with the pictures I've taken and the things that I've seen and experienced for myself. My strengths, they probably lie in observation, analysis and creativity. I know how to handle a camera, how to frame a shot. How to read people, watching for their emotional tells, knowing when is the perfect moment to push the shutter and capture a frame for eternity. I know how to write well enough to encapsulate a story, to tell the reader what is going on with a specific picture, yet leaving enough gaps for them to fill in the blanks."
"After I resigned as a professional journalist, I took up photography as the next best thing. Nowadays I don't write stories for my pictures; I let them tell their own tales. My curiosity and drive to see and document the unknown has led me to many places in search of the unreal, the mysterious and the supernatural. I let my camera speak for me and capture the moments that words fail to describe. I've traveled the country over this last year or so, letting my curiosity guide me as I document the United States of America in pictures. It's been rather relaxing, really."
WHAT ARE YOUR FEARS, FLAWS AND SECRETS?
"I have many. Years in the life as a journalist covering the worst that humanity has to offer has left me rather emotionally traumatised. Some therapists I've seen have diagnosed it as a milder form of PTSD, and I believe them. After all the work I've done in documenting the human story, how much can one mind take? I balk at loud noises, don't feel much pain or revulsion at viewing particularly gruesome things...saddening as it may be, I've had to fortify my mind against my own emotion at times purely so I could capture those of others. To show to the world what suffering exists."
"I keep many secrets. Stories that I cannot bear to tell because of how horrible they are. Whatever you imagine is the worst of humankind, I've seen it. Locked away behind closed doors, covered by tarpaulins and buried in the ground. And no matter how much I wish to share them with the rest of the waking world, to tell someone that these things exist and something needs to be done about them...I keep quiet. I know that, if these stories are told, the men behind them will come after me and the people I know and care about. They will stop at nothing to ensure that their private lives remain a secret."
WHAT DO YOU WANT MOST? WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY NEED?
"I... I'm not sure. I honestly just want some rest. Being a photographer and not a journalist has done a lot to help ease my troubled mind, taking pictures of plants and animals and trees and the like. The creative mind in me desires the perfect shot with every photograph I take and that also helps me concentrate on the now, preventing my mind from drifting to the 'what ifs' and the things in my past that haunt me."
IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY SUPERNATURAL ABILITY, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
"Out of the blue, huh? Well, maybe the ability to freeze time? To be able to catch every shot, in the millisecond that it happens, without missing a single heartbeat or movement. To be able to frame the perfect shot without having to compromise on quality or be constrained by time."
WHY ARE YOU HERE IN DUSKWICK? WHAT IS YOUR OPINION OF THE STRANGE RUMORS?
"The rumours are the whole reason why I'm here. Ever since I took up photography, my natural curiosity drew me towards the supernatural alongside the perfectly natural and beautiful world we live in. The fact that the natural order of things is being disrupted in this town is the reason why I'm here. I want to document whatever it is that's causing these problems and make sure it's remembered in human history."
"Plus...I also have a personal reason. Jeffrey, my friend? I last heard from him here, in this town, investigating a lead regarding the rumours and the recent disappearances of townsfolk and visitors alike. His last call to me was two weeks ago, and frankly speaking, I don't think he'd go that long without at least sending me a text message. I have to find him, set the record straight, and make sure whatever forces took him are exposed to the world."
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE YOURSELF CHANGE AND DEVELOP?
"That's a...weird question to ask me. I guess what I'd like to see in myself is...the ability to feel? All these years haven't been the best on my psyche, but honestly I just wish I could feel again. To empathise and to actually be able to help the people I see. Being helpless behind the lens isn't something I take lightly, and for every missed opportunity and feeling of helplessness, I lose a bit of myself. I want to help people, not just with my pictures. I want to be able to take up something and actually help for once, not just by bringing stories to the light of day."
PITCH A SMALL SUBPLOT THAT WOULD BE PERSONALLY MEANINGFUL TO YOU.
"I, uh...that's an even weirder question to ask me. But, uh, I wouldn't mind finding a companion on my quest to set things straight. I've spent all my life alone, and the isolation's been getting to me lately. If I had someone by my side to lean on...that would be great, I imagine."
@Mokley Here's my guy. I pulled him from another supernatural type RP that died recently.
