Jake Elliott
Jake Elliott grew up in Colorado in a lovely foster family after his mother lost her battle with cancer and his father disappeared. Jack eventually felt like his foster family was his actual family. He was fairly popular in school and even made a few friends along the way. His love for photography earned him a place as a respected wedding photographer. And after getting his degree in photojournalism, he was hired by the Denver Post as their newspaper photographer.

But, it only lasted a few years before he decided to quit and moved to Washington. Jack grew tired of working on a deadline and wanted more freedom in his life. His friends and family supported his decision and the big move to Baltham. After settling into his new apartment, he found work as a simple clerk in a small thrift store in the historic downtown. As for his photography work, he got some work that paid decently enough that he could save it. So far, however, life is going good.


Physical Traits
Jack is a British-American man that was originally born in New York City. He’s the shortest person in his family with his 5’5 height and he can be often mistaken as a teenager. Despite his small height, he only weighs around 136.3 lb. That’s because he would often go on a run each morning and go to the gym if he isn’t working on his job. He got his mother’s hazel eyes and his father’s black hair. Often enough, he would most wear dark color clothes. He doesn’t go anywhere without his jacket no matter the weather. He also takes his beanie with him as well. He only wears jeans and casual t-shirts to places besides work. At work, he wears a white collared t-shirt with decent-looking pants and Converse shoes. In addition, he wears the store’s dark blue apron.

Full Name
Jake Raquel Elliott

Gender
Male

Ethnicity
Caucasian

Sexuality
Homosexual

Age
Thirty

Motives
Elliott is always looking for the groundbreaking story of the year ever since going independent from the mainstream. Being a freelancer isn't the best paying job and he had to make several sacrifices like moving away from Colorado and leaving his friends behind. But he does get to do what makes him happy which is photography.

Born in a very wealthy family in Seoul, Korea, Ruby wanted for nothing. It wasn't wrong to say that she was born with a silver spoon in a her mouth. She grew up in Korea, but after finishing high school, the family decided to move over to Baltham, Washington in the USA when her father made plans to expand his business overseas. All the whining, tantrums and complaints, she did were of no use, and all of her objections were ignored which left her a very unhappy girl. Adjusting to a new country with an entirely new culture was not easy. Fortunately, the blow was lessened by not having to cope with learning a new language as well, as English was something she grew up learning. To cope with homesickness, she opened up her own Youtube channel, where she talks about Korea, and explain its culture and music to those that are interested along with some gaming on the side. She does frequent vlogging after receiving great responses on her first couple of videos.     


Physical Traits
Ruby stands at 5 feet 6 inches and has a slender build. The first facial feature you’ll recognise of her are those highly distinctive chocolate brown eyes that she possess. Her face is oval in shape, her nose pert, and her lips a healthy shade of pink. In times of happiness, darling little dents of delight appears on her youthful visage, the dimples ever present whenever any form of smile or grin makes itself known. Her hair is a lovely shade of soot black that complements her fair ivory skin very well. Although she occasionally wearing her chest-level hair down, Ruby usually wears her hair up in a ponytail or plaited down her front to allow her ease of movement in her daily activities. Clothing wise, she tends to prefer comfortable clothing, such as hoodies, blouses, and printed t-shirts. Pants, along with an occasional dress are also common attire.

Full Name
Ruby Song Miyeon

Gender
Female

Ethnicity
Korean

Sexuality
Heterosexual

Age
20

Motives
Ruby has never been the type to succumb or give up in the face of adversity or bow down to challenges. Not entirely accustomed to life in Baltham yet despite being here for three years, she is determined to not be a loser and make the most of her new life her in America. She loves the saying, when live gives you lemons, make lemonade, and it is something she constantly reminds herself of. She is simply a girl trying to make the best of her unhappy life in a new country, not knowing what the future has in store for her.

Gideon So
Gideon was raised by FOB Korean parents, in a strict Christian household, but could never feel himself melding with his parents’ ideas of what they wanted him to be. While he wasn’t a terrible child, he minded them and did well in school, he never was quite on the same page as them. When he hit his teen years, the differences between he and his parents came to a head, and after a few stressful months or arguments over his future and career, Gideon finally left home 3 months before his eighteenth birthday.
You see, Gideon’s parents had always hoped he’d be some predictable, boring doctor or lawyer or something of that measure, but Gideon always had more exciting prospects for himself. Perhaps he’d join the military to see the world, an idea his parents liked, but he figured the rules and restrictions would be too stifling. He wanted more fun.

Soon enough, Gideon figured out he didn’t really know what he wanted to do at all, but as people usually do, he needed money. He found most jobs boring, but being a bike courier was a breath of fresh air for him. It was active, out in the bustling city, and most of all, it was fun. So, for a few years now, he’s been couriering packages across the city, while trying to figure out what he really wants to do, but, he’s not made much progress. At least he’s having fun. 


Physical Traits
Gideon is fairly short, standing at 5’6’’ but after a few years of cycling, has developed prominent calves and legs. While not exactly shredded, his upper body is still fairly toned, and he has obviously tan lines from all his time in the sun. His hair is growing out, getting long all around. Soon enough, he’ll have enough going to have a sweet man bun going.
When on his bike, Gideon is usually wearing a wide assortment of different clothes, sunglasses and helmets, usually a mismatched array of colors, mostly just to fit the weather. When off his bike, Gideon likes to just hang around in sweats and basketball shorts at home, but more fashionable, light techwear style clothing when out on the town.

Full Name
Gideon So

Gender
Male

Ethnicity
Korean-American

Sexuality
Heterosexual

Age
22

Motives
Mostly, Gideon is just trying to get the most out of life. He’s not quite sure where sees himself in the next twenty years or so, but he just wants to make sure the trip there is fun. Of course, he knows he needs to find something to really mete out a living further down the line, but he’s not at all discontent with where he’s at currently.

As much as he’d hate to admit it, Gideon would prefer to get rid of all the animosity between he and his parents. The fact that they’re on such bad terms bothers him a lot, and it’s something of a sensitive topic for him.

Kenneth, or Kent, is a native to Bainbridge Island. Like many others who came before him, he grew up exploring the natural wildlife trails, camping, and fishing on the sound. He fell in love with the picturesque environment and became an aspiring outdoorsman. Of course, his parents had more ambitious plans for their son, such as attending medical school to become a doctor, but that did not stop him from answering his true calling and returning to his roots. Naturally, when the time came for him to open up his own family practice, he chose to settle back down in Bainbridge.

Things remained small those first several years, his quaint office along the waterfront consisting of only himself, his friend Jerry, who served as his assistant, and his wife Emily as his personal secretary and receptionist. Even when word began to spread of his reputation as a humble and competent physician, Kent preferred to keep his practice small and manageable. This allowed for a more personable experience for his patients, and even accounted for quite a few friendships over the years. The only notable addition he made was his son, Curt, who joined the team as a second physician at the age of 29. Kent hoped that he would serve as heir for when he moved on to pursue other ventures.  

Unfortunately, that would happen sooner rather than later. With the increase of big business and other residential and retail development in the area, the health care system became more standardized and strict with their procedures. As a result, more hospitals joined together into networks to coordinate and deliver a broad spectrum of services to the community and to stay up to date with the current initiatives passed down from the government. They often targeted small private practices to consolidate into their system; Kent’s family business was no exception. 

Despite a hard battle, Kent could not withstand the constant pressure from these entities and ultimately decided to retire. His son, however, did not agree to follow in his father’s footsteps; he caved to the hospital networks and joined their team of doctors, causing a falling out between father and son. Kent has not spoken to Curt in nearly two years, his decision continuing to remain a point of contention between the two.

Now that he is retired, Kent finally has the time to fully embrace and appreciate the natural beauty of the landscape he came to love as a child. He has opened a bait and tackle shop and occasionally conducts fishing excursions for the tourists...or anyone willing to pay for his services. He remains close to his wife and his best friend Jerry, who is often seen hanging around the shop with the usual crowd of middle-aged prattlers and retirees. Life couldn’t be any better.

Physical Traits
Now that he no longer has to worry about maintaining a professional appearance in front of his patients, Kent has adopted a more rugged look in recent years. Depending on your opinion, some may call it disheveled or lazy. Tired, blue eyes peer out of a weathered face with grizzled features, a layer of stubble often covering his chin and cheeks. His shock of gray hair, while still kept at an acceptable length, is often tousled and greasy. He may have also grown a little soft around the middle with age, but he has managed to sustain an average weight for his fairly tall frame, standing at nearly 6’2.”

Kent’s clothes are what many would consider typical for the outdoorsman – plaid, flannel shirts, sometimes quilted depending on the weather, Carhartt jacket, sturdy boots, and a pair of dependable blue jeans.

Full Name
Kenneth William Archer

Gender
Male

Ethnicity
Caucasian

Sexuality
Heterosexual

Age
63

Motives
Having raised a family and worked for nearly 40 years of his life, Kent is on the downward slide and is seeking enlightenment more than anything. He is looking to find contentment for himself and his current situation, especially as he heads into his waning years. That is why he has turned his attention to nature; it is the one thing that brings him the most joy and helps him to fully relax. After all, the goal is to enjoy his retirement...even if it was thrust upon him by circumstances that were beyond his control. For that reason alone, he may also hold a bit of a grudge against those responsible.

And while he will never openly admit it, even to those close to him, Kent is also hoping to reconcile with his son and make amends for the incident that drove them apart. He still loves him and wants to share his life with him once more.

Occupation
Retired Family Physician; he now owns and operates a small bait and tackle shop on the waterfront.

From even the greatest of horrors irony is seldom absent. H.P. Lovecraft. 

The Whisper From the Dark. The Sudden Drop. Bloodcurled. You’d be hard-pressed not to find some of these kitschy horror novels in every bookstore in the northwest for good reason: David Marlowe was a hot commodity. Whilst ever-combatting the local art critics on what is “literature” and what is “trash”, David Marlowe was simply quite happy to exist as a relatively popular horror novelist; never hitting the high heights like Stephen King or Dean Koontz, but also never fading into obscurity. He lived a comfortable, albeit lonely life. 

Growing up in suburban Seattle, David settled into writing during college, being published in magazines and in short story collections until his first breakthrough novel, The Screamchasers, hit the bestseller lists. He found himself doing book tours, working on C-Movie Hollywood hack deals and making enough money to live comfortably without working a “real” job. Shortly after his third novel, The Whisper From the Dark was published, David found himself in the middle of both a scandal involving a local politician's wife and death threats from overzealous fans. The stress nearly led to him having a complete nervous breakdown, and he sold his house, his car and most of his belongings making his way to a small apartment complex near the Sweet Bay Hotel. There, amidst heavy medications for his newly developed night terrors, David began an existence of quiet obscurity, still writing, but now keeping hidden from the public view. 

Several locals claim that they know that THE David Marlowe lives in town, but most would be hard-pressed to even find the man. Now only leaving home at night, and keeping a few local contacts, David is more of a hermit with a typewriter than your average citizen. Even now every few years another book is published to moderate acclaim; even to keep paying rent and to keep himself fed, but never enough to truly be regarded as one of horror’s all-time greats.


Physical Traits
David is tall enough, standing at around 5’10, but due to his lifestyle change and thanks to the drugs he takes, he’s begun to grow a slight paunch in the stomach region. Still, David is broad-shouldered enough to still be considered “strong”, however the past few years have led to his once youthful strength to become diminished. He can lift and run, but his stamina has greatly been reduced. His hair is cut short, black with grey tinges forming on the edges. His hair has also begun to thin. 

David’s clothes can be considered “bookish”. Glasses, tweed coats or all-weather jackets, slacks and nice shoes are his usual clothing when he has to leave. His once clean-shaven face is now considerably bearded, and whilst he does trim weekly, it has a habit of becoming wild and stringy, especially if he goes a day or two without washing. 

Full Name
David Harrison Marlowe

Gender
Male

Ethnicity
Caucasion

Sexuality
Heterosexual

Age
34

Motives
David is continually chasing that one great story; the one that will cement him into the horror anthologies for the rest of his life. His books sell well enough and he has a fairly sizeable fan community, but beyond two books making the bestseller list, he’s never had “true” success like the industry giants. He constantly tries to find new ways to pull out the horror from his mind, but in recent months, he has constantly hit wall after wall.  

He’s found various things to blame: and the latest has been his medication. He will occasionally try to come off his medication, only to be plagued with nightmares and anxieties that leave him almost catatonic, until he is forced to take them again to be normal again. Not that he ever feels normal anymore.

Lakisha Freeman was born to a single parent household in Cott’s Park, a rough lower middle class neighborhood in the Bainbridge Island metro area. Following her father’s death to a sudden, untreatable cancer when she was seven years old, Lakisha experienced the first sudden experience of her life. Had it not been for the influence of her maternal grandfather, she would’ve lacked a father figure throughout the bulk of her childhood.

Growing up in a challenging financial situation taught Lakisha to be frugal and to plan ahead, though most of all it taught her the value of escapism and self-expression. This need to create would eventually lead to her unearthing her ability as an artist whether it was with a paintbrush or a pencil. It was one of the few things in her life that made her experiences living barely above the welfare line tolerable.

Eventually, she found the opportunity to leave Cott’s Park through an art scholarship to Washington State University. Through time she would combine this with a degree in journalism that would lead her to return to the Bainbridge metro area. It’s been several years since then and while not being where she imagined she would be at twenty-nine years old she knows it could’ve turned out way worse; perhaps there’s a way she could attain her dream of painting murals across Cott’s Park and being featured in haughty art galleries?


Physical Traits
Standing at 5’3” and of a slender yet athletic build, Lakisha has been shorter than every single significant other she’s had in her life. Fortunately, her shorter height hasn’t led her to have a lack of confidence, as evident from very impulsive decisions that have caused her to have a brush in with a police report or two. Her skin is a light-to-medium caramel with eyes that are old a few tones darker. This is in contrast with her ever-changing style, color, and cut of her hair. Naturally dark brown – almost black – her hair currently appears to be straightened with blonde highlights into a tight ponytail. A difference from her days in Washington State University where she wore her hair in a natural style. 

Her fashion style is what she sarcastically describes as “suburban chic”. A long sleeve shirt, denim jeans, and pair of work boots is the most common items she brings into class and when not making a fool of herself.

Full Name
Lakisha Janeway Freeman

Gender
Female

Ethnicity
African-American

Sexuality
Heterosexual

Age
29

Motives
Other than paying the rent and being frustrated that her art degree wasn’t enough to get the hell out of Washington State? Lakisha can’t think of much. The idea that she could get out of the city she was born in and become featured in high society art galleries and blogs is still very much a pipe dream. This isn’t to say she hates her job, however. Perhaps she’ll learn to get over her own angst about not becoming the next Joan Mitchell or Faith Ringgold. Perhaps she’ll get her big break. Who knows?

Donny
Lost, forgotten. 
Donny never really got a break. Born to Brazilian immigrants he did alright in school with most of his marks coming from gym, the arts and languages. He was just old enough to see the Vietnam war in its peak but didn't quite get the chance to participate in the thing army recruiters so romanticized. 

He got into university and performed acceptably if quite far from excelling in his chosen degree of English. He signed up as a reservist in the military after finding some difficulty in getting a good job and eventually decided to become a proper soldier. There was peace for a while, until the Gulf-War rolled around. He served faithfully receiving a purple heart after taking several bullets. The wound healed but the mind didn't as was the case for so many soldiers out there. He was made to seek psychiatric help, which ended up being a Doctor who he fancied to put it lightly. Only with her help could he make some semblance of recovery and reintegration to proper society, but alas it would not be; on the way to work one day she was hit by a bus before his very eyes no less. Already this was for more tragedy than any one man could properly handle, and from there the degradation began. Donny didn't go outside, didn't clean himself, didn't get a job prompting him to be fired. When Afghanistan rolled around he couldn't get back into the armed forces, and that was the nail in the coffin of a good citizen. 

Now Donny roams the streets, trying his best to forget without melting his brain with booze. 


Physical Traits
An old man with a beard now white with age. Donny is quite tall at 6'2 but is often at least somewhat hunched, often bringing him down to a mere five feet. He tries to keep hygienic but with his lifestyle this is usually in vain, and one can see the marks of dirt and grime upon him. His clothing will usually be in various states of disrepair depending on the last time he moseyed over to a mall for something new to re-appropriate. Often his clothes will be mismatched like a beaten top hat in conjunction with basketball shoes, swimming trunks over long-johns and a plastic rain coat. 

Full Name
Sebastian Donovan Barretto

Gender
Male

Ethnicity
White-Hispanic (Branco)

Sexuality
A hole's a hole, am I right or what eh?

Age
60 years old; Date of birth 13/2/1960

Motives
Don is driven by the desire to live, not just survive. This is particularly difficult for someone with no disposable income or home but he manages. Be it showing strangers the way around town, finding some other veterans to reminisce with or some amazing discarded nudie magazines it is the little things that really matter, right? To some who have lived in the area for a while he may even be seen as a sort of local "celebrity" frequently seen making people passing by laugh and appearing in a youtube video or two giggling madly as "that creepy old guy" having jumped on the back of a teenager that thought homeless abuse is funny.

However with the passing of time it is harder and harder for him to truly do so as he finds it harder to provide for himself and the chance of his final days being spent in a proper home get slimmer by the moment with suicide being ever more enticing. 

Occupation
He has no job, he survives going around the streets telling stories to people that might pity him, stealing from malls, he is not above eating stray animals particularly in the winter.

A little girl with a very big heart, and the desire to help in any way she can.

Most of Mahrie's life was spent under her parent's watchful care. She was born in Perouges, France on May 25th, 2004. She was brought up in a middle-class family that valued many things. Her parents volunteered with their church to help in city restorations, and periodically travelling around France for missionary work. On August 1st, 2014 her mother, Rubie Beaulieu died of Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a genetic disorder characterized by weakness and wasting in muscles used for movement.
After her mother died, Mahrie's father, Marc Beaulieu, volunteered for a permanent assignment as a Pastor at the Eagle Harbor Congregational church in Bainbridge Island, WA.

Moving was rough for Mahrie. Both sides of her grandparents had passed away when she was younger, so it wasn't so much missing friends and family, but having to learn a whole new language put a damper in her usually bright spirits. Primary school gave her a rough start as Mahrie had a very difficult time making friends. A year into her new education, most days would result in her coming home with tears in her eyes and evenings in her father's arms as he tried to comfort her through the confusion and distress. 

On September 19th, 2018 her father was a victim in a drive-by shooting in Seattle while at a conference for his missionary work. While arrangements were being made for his funeral, Mahrie was given many invitations from families at her father's church to come and live with them while she dealt with her grief. All of which, she declined. Eventually, Mahrie was moved to a local orphanage with a small amount of children, some her age, most of them younger. 
She continued to power through her studies, deciding early on in life that she yearned to be a doctor, to help people like her mom. And to be an author, so she could share with the world what an amazing man her father was, and how devoted he was to his family and his community. 


Physical Traits
Mahrie prefers to wear her hair down, spread about her shoulders most of the time. Sometimes, she'll put it in a one-sided braid that she'll pull over one of her shoulders. She favors fun, colorful blouses most of the time, some with floral patterns, some plain, and is usually seen wearing darker blue jeans, sneakers, and a hoodie when roaming about.

Full Name
Mahrie Lizbeth Beaulieu (Mah-ree Bow-li-yoo)

Gender
Female

Ethnicity
Caucasian

Sexuality
Heterosexual

Age
16

Motives
Mahrie's parents' devotion to both her, and their community taught her at a young age to be compassionate, understanding, and willing to help in and way she could. Her mother taught her to keep powering through until the very end, no matter what the world throws at you. And her father left a legacy of helping anyone he could, but also finding a balance between his passion in his work and his daughter, giving care and compassion to both, equally.
Due to the experiences she’s had since moving from France to the United States, with bullying and sometimes not grasping “American” concepts quite as well, Mahrie lacks confidence in herself in times of emotional stress, sometimes feeling as though she isn’t good enough for what needs to be done.

Bio

"How many chances have I wasted
when what I wanted the most was to prove to everyone
that I don't need to prove anything to anyone?"

Summary
The Portwoods have always lived in Baltham, where Alice grew up in a three bedroom apartment, attended one of the finest schools with the right to private tutors and classes and was educated in multiple skills, from sewing and cooking to camping and swimming. Her father, Kurt Portwood, worked for a tech company in the city and, quite frankly, she had absolutely no idea whatsoever as to what exactly it was that he did. That never really mattered, though, since she was never required to know where the money she’s always had to spare was coming from. Her mother had never worked ever since the two of them got married a quarter of a century ago, and despite having a lot of free time to spend with her daughter, the two of them never developed a strong bond, since the woman preferred to juggle the kid from one class to another, criticizing the girl on the smallest of issues, instead of nurturing a relationship with her daughter.

When young, Alice was too much of a tomboy for either of her parents’ taste, and they spent a lot of time making sure she became a poised and proper woman. The adventurous spirit the girl possessed was forcefully repressed and the new, more adequate demeanor her parents wanted took place.

Her father wanted her to go to Business School or some other highly profitable career, but after a lot of talk, the man agreed to let Alice study Psychology. Perhaps the fact the girl for the first time in her life didn't just quietly follow the man's order made him reconsider the option, and in the end, agreeing to it. He wasn't an unreasonable man after all. Or, well... Not too much. He might've agreed to pay for the degree of her choice, but now the stakes were higher -- she had no choice but to make him prouder than ever. She had to be the best. And she was.

She was the best student, always with the highest grades, never late and respectful to her superiors and peers. She was the best daughter, well-behaved and mannered, never talking back and doing whatever her parents wanted. She was the best friend, prompt and caring, never dodging a call or a text when someone needed a shoulder to cry on.

She was tired of all of that.

Physical Traits
Alice is pretty and she knows it. Standing at 5’8 and with a lean body, she could easily pass as a model; her light eyes, fair skin and full lips only accentuate the perfect bone structure, bringing everything together like a beautiful painting.

Full Name
Alice Portwood

Gender
Female

Ethnicity
Caucasian

Sexuality
Heterosexual

Age
18

Motives
Her strongest motivation comes from the desire of being the best. Coming from a good and financially comfortable home, Alice had access to a good education without the need to work for anything in life; all that time was spent in her studies and extracurricular activities. Ultimately she wishes to prove to her parents she's the perfect daughter. Maybe then, when she successfully proved she is everything they wanted her to be, they'd let her be what she's always wanted.
