[CHAR] House of Leaves [Modern / Lovecraftian Horror]

[Buglet]

Name: Max Hjertsson

Age: 21

Degree: Degree in Film Studies.

Short description of character's outwards appearance:

Max is 5'11'' tall. He has medium-length sandy-blonde hair and a soft face. White-skinned and a little tanned from a recent summer vacation. He often wears scruffy clothes and will be unshaven for a number of days. He walks with a laid-back attitude and his posture reflects his apparent care-free view on life.

Short description of character's personality (including any skills/weaknesses they have):

Max is laid back and simple. He is easy to laugh and quick to make a joke of even the harshest situation. He will usually speak a little too slowly for people's liking but only because he's relaxed and at ease. His skills reflect his degree in that he is a very qualified cameraman. Similar to Will Navidson, who was the photojournalist in The Navidson Record, he will want to document the events that follow. His laid back attitude often get him into trouble as he does not value the danger of situations as much as he should.

Anything else important:

Max is single and fine with it. He loves takeaway food and his home-comforts.

Olivia Eriksson

Name: Olivia Eriksson - Nickname is V

Age: 22

Degree: Bachelors in Animation with a minor in Game Design

Short description of character's outwards appearance:

Appearance

5' 3" and 115lbs. She has curly red hair and blue eyes, often wears graphic t-shirts and a cargo pants with a baseball cap reading GAMER on it. Her shoes are typically either Vans skate shoes or Converse over the ankle shoes.

Short description of character's personality (including any skills/weaknesses they have: She's wonderful and animating and design and is skilled in drawing/sketching what she sees. She's somewhat flirtatious and had a bi-curious phase in collage which simmered down after she graduated.

Anything else important: She's been trying to get a job with a major gaming industry but without success, too small a market with a large interest. She currently works at a local vintage game shop that sells comic books, records, games and consoles. The front room of the shop has a giant Pac-man chasing a giant Mario that Olivia swears she will steal someday. She enjoys hiking in her free time and has been known to go on nude night hikes (this is actually a thing) with close friends. She is also currently not seeing anyone.

[Mach2]

Name: Isabelle Bergqvist

Age: 23

Degree: Honours Degree in Organic Chemistry, Minor in Biochemistry

Short description of character's outwards appearance:

Dis wat she look like

Isabelle stands at 5'7", and weighs in at a slender 120 lbs. Her clothing style hints at her upbringing; born into a family of money and traditional values. She dresses modestly, usually in a button-up shirt with a the collar turned down, and a pair of dress pants. Her clothes are new, and brand-name.

Isabelle's hair is dark, cut just above her shoulders. Her eyes are a pale green, and typically focused on something other than you, even during conversation.

Short description of character's personality (including any skills/weaknesses they have:
Throughout her academic career, Isabelle faced tremendous pressure to succeed. She is tremendously intelligent, never once letting her GPA drop below 4.0. A good night for her includes a cup of Earl Grey with cream and sugar, and the latest publication of the Journal of Organic Chemistry.

However, while she is blessed academically, Isabelle struggles socially. She isn't shy, and she isn't anxious. But there is something odd about her mannerisms, and she is woefully unaware of it. She's entirely comfortable with long silences, doesn't realize when people are uninterested in a discussion on chemical reaction mechanisms, and habitually manages to ask the most uncomfortable questions.

Anything else important:
Upon graduation, Isabelle's intentions were to follow in the footsteps of her two elder brothers (Liam, 27, Master's Degree in Bioengineering. Theo, 31, Master's in Robotics) and return to school for her Master's. However, her parents have expressed concern about her social life, which is, and always has been, somewhere between lacking and non-existent.

So rather than returning to the only world she knows, that of academics, Isabelle has agreed to take a gap year. She's promised to get out more, meet people, and go on a vacation before returning to school. Thus far, she's managed to secure a room in a shared apartment. Living with other people. It's a step.

Isabelle owns a red betta fish named Jack Roberts.

Pola Queen

Name: Pola Queen

Age: 19

Degree: Fine Arts, specializing on Ceramics

Short description of character's outwards appearance: Short black hair, dark eyes, green-rimmed glasses, shirt under a grey hooded jacket, black pants, and sneakers. Stands at 5'4", very sleepy, but will fight you.

Short description of character's personality (including any skills/weaknesses they have): Usually quiet and polite with high preference in observing. People are surprised, however, when Pola gives them a cold shoulder or a glare, not realizing it was their noise that was making her grumpy. There are also rare but precious moments of a very salty and very angry Pola that blows up in their faces and yells obscenities. She also has a very vivid imagination and hates anything supernatural, mostly the horror genre. Paranoid as fuck.

Anything else important: Gay as hell. No time to pursue a relationship though, nor does she want to. Perfectly fine admiring people from afar. Also, gaming.

Albin

Name:
Albin Ostburg

Age:
24

Degree:
Masters in Operations Management

Appearance:
Stocky, about 5'10" and built strongly, a bit larger than the average man of his height. Typically has his hands stained with whatever machine he's been prodding around with that day in the garage. Short black hair and bright blue eyes, he has a short stubble of a beard across his face, caused more often by his laziness most mornings, rather than fashion. Across his cheeks are visible scars, usually caused by odd engine failures that burnt or cut his skin. Other than that, he's actually a rather handsome guy to look at, and often wears flannel shirts and blue jeans.

Personality:
Almost always a cheery guy, Albin loves to drink and spend time with his cars, trucks, lawnmowers, or whatever may need fixing at the moment. Whenever he isn't toying with something, he'll be found studying how to run a business - he plans on opening up an auto shop when he moves back to his hometown. Though he isn't necessarily the brightest bulb, he'll shine the longest, with his mental patience and physical endurance in optimal condition. It's also pretty noteworthy that he can be pretty boisterous with his speech and loves making conversation, but has no experience and little know-how in order to have an intimate discussion with someone.

Other info:
He has no siblings, and his father was a mechanic like Albin, and his father before him. Supposedly some of his ancestors worked steel for ancient Vikings, but that's all speculation that Albin's grandfather would tell Albin, along with other tall tales when he was a little boy.
