Premise:
Red Lake Pennsylvania was originally founded in April 13th, 1773 by a man named Avery Johnson, during the early years of the small settlment it started to have border disputes with the local Native American tribes within the area. Eventually things became much worse resulting in the death of its founder. Which then resulted in a small war within the area, which nearly decimated both sides, until June 2nd 1786 which finally brought peace between the two people.
Now it is a small mountain town of 2,145 people best known for it's very beautiful view of the mountains from downtown as well as for its hiking trails however it is best known for it's lake the town is name after as well as it's fishing. At the center of town is the mayor's office as well as the very small police station and a few general stores and two restaurants and for those who are just traveling through there is a motel and bed and breakfast as well as an elementary school and a high school.
It is now the 4th of July, and usually it is the time for people to celebrate the countries birthday, however over the last few weeks there has been recent sightings of wolf attacks on the local farmlands in the outskirts of town. And one of its residents has gone missing. Three days ago Andrew Ryder the mayor of Red Lake was found brutally mauled to death just outside of the town hall. With a sign written in blood his blood. "This is our land, the next full moon more will go missing and more will die."

The Missing & The Dead
Riley Walker
She is very well known in Red Lake as the happy little sunshine of the town, she worked with her parents at the Red Lake Bed and Breakfast. Riley was most likely the only person who didn't mind living in the small town, and got along really well with nearly just about everyone in town. She was last seen at the lake before her disappearance from the town, nearly everyone was trying to search for her, her cellphone was found near the lake
Andrew Ryder
He was probably known to bed the worse mayor in Red Lake's history, he wasn't well liked among the towns people at least those that didn't vote for him in the last election. Rumor has it that he cheated in the last election with the Johnsons. However most people agree that the murder scene was very gruesome the words in his blood on the front door of the town hall.

The Character Sheet
Relation/Clue Sheet
Throughout the RP, you are expected to record clues you find here. There are several mysteries to unravel in Coventry. If you believe you have solved one of the murders and disappearances of Red Lake, send a PM to the GM! If correct, you'll receive some sort of in-game reward. This can be a bonus skill, a helpful clue for the next mystery, a get-out-of-death free card...
You also will record your thoughts and opinions on other characters. To start the RP, you are required to have one relation to start with. If you're having trouble coming up with one, let me know and I can sort it out for you. There'll be periodic moments throughout the RP where I ask that you update these.
