Encounter Summary:
On a hot Californian summer night JJ was celebrating his eighteenth birthday with some friends out surfing and just generally hanging out and having a fun time. When suddenly a large bank of fog rolled in obscuring his friends from his view and barely allowing him to see one foot in front of him. The other thing that alarmed JJ was how suddenly the temperature which was eighty nine degrees and made even the ocean water warm suddenly dropped and became freezing cold. So in true horror movie fashion JJ did the stupid move of calling out for his friends not noticing the serpent like thing that was rising out of the water behind him.

Turning around when a drop of water fell on his head JJ turned around and saw a large sea serpent with glowing yellow eyes and sharp teeth , a creature that would be straight out of a person's nightmares which later inspired JJ on the name of The incident. Suddenly breaking out of his paralization JJ began to swim for his life desperately trying to get to shore. The serpent let out a bellow of anger as JJ tried to escape and latched on his leg, when he had happened JJ thought he would die until a well placed flat palm punch caused the monster to drop him and JJ narrowly escaped with his life. After waking up in the hospital the Doctor informed JJ that his friends had disappeared , filled with anger at this news JJ vowed to his dead friends he would kill the creature that attacked them and any other monsters out there.

Character Name: Syberus I. Deveons
Nickname: Sid

Physical Description: Sid is roughly six foot five (6'5") with broad shoulders and long legs, somewhere around one-hundred and seventy pounds (170lbs). He is decently built from years of walking (and running) hiking trails through rough terrain and mountain climbing. His skin is a darker caramel color from his time spent outside; it is blatantly easy to see what spots are usually covered, the moment the fabric moves, he is actually fairly pale! His hair is a short, choppy mess of rather sleek black locks. He has a plethora of smaller scars all over from various accidents, but his right forearm has four bubbled claw-like scars that wrap around the entire limb. They are old though, seeing as the delicate pink has faded and has left a pearly pale white in its place. Stands out quite a bit against his darker tanned skin.

Age: 27

Role: Scrapper

Psychic: No

Skills/Abilities of Note:

Willpower: 6

Fear: 0

Background: Sid was born and raised on an Indian Reservation in Arizona by his grandparents. While he was never quite a believer, the both of them were deep set in their ways and passed on their worries of the unseen and the dangers they possessed. Due to his location, Sid grew with a deep love for the outdoors; his grandfather introduced him to mountain climbing and hiking, which he took to like a moth to the flame. This often lead to many, many trips off the reservation to better and longer hiking trails and better places to climb. On one such trip, the last one with his Grandfather, Sid learned first hand about the dangers both his grandparents had always warned him about.

After all was said and done, Sid took quite the stance on the unknown and promised his grandmother repeatedly to not fall victim to such a horror again.

Previous Encounter/s: Yes

Encounter Summary: Shortly after turning 25, Sid went on a hiking trip with his grandfather deep within the reservation they lived on. It started out innocently enough and as normal as ever, but as the day started to slip by, something just didn't feel right. His grandfather didn't seem to notice, even as they finally got to the end of the trail and began to go down a different trail to return back to the truck. The fear began to grow the further along they went, until finally Sid asked his grandfather how far they were from the truck. The older man replied 'Only a little bit'. But 'a little bit' turned into hours and just as nightfall fell the fog quickly rolled in.

From here, Sid really doesn't remember much, as the moment the fog wrapped around him, something hit him hard and he went down like a sack of incorrectly stacked bricks. He hit his head on some rocks and as only vaguely aware of what was going on. He saw flashes of sharp teeth, claws, something scrawny and hungry looking going after his grandfather. He recalls hearing his grandfather yelling for him to run, too. Unfortunately, he remembers nothing after that.

What he does remember though, was waking up in a hospital a week later on deaths door, fighting off a terrible infection in his arm from something that had cut into him and severe dehydration from laying out in the Arizona heat for nearly two days. It was a miracle he did not die. It was all crossed off as a freak accident by the local news, stating him and his grandfather had been attacked by a rabid Puma. They never did find his grandfathers body, but then again, no one really looked that hard. They found one of them alive, that was enough.

Resources: Hiking backpack: Several clip-hooks, a small fire starter (flint & steel, no tinder), water canteen (empty), small first aid kit, Swiss army knife. He has two necklaces, five bracelets, and three rings that he wears from his grandmother, who swears up and down they are charms to ward off 'evil' and 'bad things'. It is unknown if they actually do anything or not.

Character Name:
Zenobia "Zeni" Gataki

Physical Description:
5'6", dark of hair and eye, with a slight build & (quite a few) tattoos. Her skin is a medium bronze, showing her Mediterranean heritage - with deep, slashing scars slanting diagonally across her left collarbone and shoulder from her attack.

Age:
28

Role:
Scrapper/Nerd

Psychic:
N

Skills/Abilities of Note:
Research/History (fluent in Latin & Greek); Perception; Climbing; Resilience

Willpower: 8
Zeni is mentally & emotionally battered, matching the scars on her body from her attack, but these experiences have changed her – she looked into the abyss and had the spine to tell it to go fuck itself in several tongues.

Fear:
N/A until played.

Background:
Zeni grew up on the South side of Chicago, the beloved daughter of a Greek family who refused to allow the predominantly Irish Catholic neighborhood influence their child. As a result, she spoke only Greek in the family home. After completing a degree with a double major in Classics & archaeology, she pursued a PhD in Archaeology – barely two years into her tenure at the postgraduate level when she was attacked.

Since recovering from her physical wounds, she has worked remotely to complete her thesis while obsessing over her true focus privately. Combing through the literature of both primary academic sources and the firsthand accounts available on the internet, she has made a study of cryptozoology for the past year, desperately trying to find an explanation for what happened to her. Zeni refuses to believe it was a wild animal attack, as the impotent authorities had suggested (often with sidelong glances at her wounds). In her personal time, she used to enjoy rock climbing & playing the violin… but now prefers Irish punk rock, urban exploration (“urbex”) & excessive amounts of coffee.

Previous Encounter/s:
Y

Encounter Summary:
On a balmy night this past April (about a year & a half ago), Zeni was attacked whilst crossing her university's quad. A humanoid creature with bizarrely stretched features & elongated incisors ambushed her, clumsily tearing into her throat & shoulder. Eventually the grisly scene was interrupted by the scream of a fellow student, drawing the creature's attention and gifting Zeni precious moments to crawl to the nearest dorm. After being found by members of the hardest partying fraternity on campus, she woke in the hospital to the twin sensations of physical pain... and incoherent rage at being made a victim.

She later found out that the creature killed five students & faculty members during its rampage across campus – never entering a physical domicile, but attacking any person who crossed its path out of doors. She was the only survivor.

Resources:
Climbing equipment (rope, carabiners, anchors, harness, etc), climbing axe, laptop, online connections in the dark web as a result of her research. She always wears her father's dog tags and her devout mother's silver Orthodox cross on a chain around her neck.
