[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.

[Adalrod]

Name: Linus Dahl

Age: 24

Degree: Bachelor of Medicine / Bachelor of Surgery

Short description of character's outwards appearance: Linus stands at about 5'6". Short dirty blond strands rebel against his painstakingly combed hair in varied heights. Linus' umber eyes peek out from between stray strands of hair. Very slight of stature, he would be described as "scrawny" by his peers.
Linus' wardrobe consists of flannel, flannel, and more flannel (That is never tucked in) as well as plain blue jeans. In his top left shirt pocket lies a pocket-protector with three pens, blue, red, and black protruding out. For shoes, Linus wears clean dress shoes for indoor adventures and combat boots (That are two sizes too big and could have been passed down by his father) for outdoor events.
A modern, brown satchel laden with stamps from different countries is always by Linus' side, or around his shoulder. In the bag lies his medical supplies, which include: Three meters of bandages, a bottle of Tylenol, Benadryl, and day/nyquil, a few stainless steel needles, a spool of thread, a bottle of rubbing alcohol, a few band-aids, an epi-pen, and finally a brace for both a wrist and knee. Linus' wallet and phone are also in a separate pocket of the satchel.

Short description of character's personality (including any skills/weaknesses they have): Linus is similar to a small dog in terms of personality. He is overly trusting, diligent, and extremely non-confrontational. On the rare occasion that Linus does get angry, he lets his emotions get a hold of him to the point of speechlessness, which is an even larger consequence of his stutter. Linus' stutter has plagued him since he was a small child, and anyone who has spoken to him knows about it, with it often taking Linus several seconds to spit out the more tricky words.
Linus is extremely innocent when it comes to drugs. Or alcohol. or tobacco. Or parties. Or anything, for that matter. The only time that Linus has applied himself to something other than the more "core" subject was when he tried his hand in choir, which went well until his parents decided that the hobby was useless in the real world and quickly pushed him to focus more on his studies. Then it was back to school work, long nights studying, etcetera.

Anything else important: Linus is a huge science-fiction nerd, tending to favor the more classic books such as the Dune saga or the Ender series, often carrying those with him for enjoyment.

[Kiroue]

Name: Nicole (Nicki) Taylor

Age: 23

Degree: Bachelor of Arts - Fashion and Apparel Design

Short description of character's outwards appearance: Nicole (or Nicki) stands tall at 5 feet 8 inches and even taller when she wears high heels (which is often and the height of these shoes tend to be outrageous). She is also quite petite at 130 pounds. This fashionista enjoys adorning her body in the most stylish clothes from her favorite designers and is rarely caught in anything else -- she has a budding fashion career to uphold, after all. Every morning she spends anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half making sure that she looks perfect. She does her makeup heavy, going all out with contouring, black eyeliner and extravagant eyeshadow. Nicole takes pride in her facial artistry and always insists that she will never need a makeup artist when she attends fashion shows. That's only half the battle however. The blonde spends a great deal of time every morning curling her hair into flowy curls that drape down her back. At nights, if going out to a night club (which she does often on the weekends), she will usually go for even greater extremes. She will darken her eyeshadows, add fake eyelashes, and always dare for a chic short dress that may or may not cover her entire bum. When she comes to the house, she will still uphold her appearance until bed, often not yielding to anything other than exchanging her high heels for smaller pumps.

Short description of character's personality (including any skills/weaknesses they have: Nicole is very extraverted and always loves to be the center of attention and can't stand being alone. Some would claim that she has a bubbly happiness that brightens the many lives of those who cling to her vibrant personality. Some, however, see her happiness as very shallow and annoyingly loud. She tends to be spontaneous and doesn't think things through, which may be the reason that she always strikes people as a flirt. Nicki doesn't hold back with making suggestive remarks, but she never means to really encourage anyone. She always tells people that she's not looking for a relationship because she needs to focus on her career. She is confident and adventurous. The woman, who grew up as a Californian from the good ol' US of A, jumped at the chance to attend a fashion academy in Sweden so that she could explore a completely new place. These are a lot of her good traits, but she has a variety of bad ones. Firstly, she is not the brightest bulb in the bunch. She has a knack for fashion sense, but not much else. She doesn't really put things together very quickly and is lost on anything sciency or mathish or englishy or history-ish or... yeah, anything that is of any significant brain power. She can do the basics and that's about it. Decision making isn't a strong suit either because she is so spontaneous. She is the first to go down a creepy corridor without fear. Also, she can sometimes be a bit of a bitch when she's angry, frustrated, confused, or just not getting what she wants.

Anything else important: Nicki works out often to maintain the figure that her field requires so she could be athletically strong, swift, or durable. She also tries to eat healthy food like salads, granola bars, parfaits, etc. She cheats when it comes to chocolate, however, she can't stand to live without it. In addition she has a hobby of photography on the side, but nothing terribly compelling. She mostly does it to make perfect fashion photography with the best filters, showcasing mainly her. Still, she has the capability to take photography as well with her camera if something interesting catches her eye. Oh, and she is also an ardent feminist.

[Buglet]

Name: Allan Bergstrom

Age: 29

Degree: Nursing

Short description of character's outwards appearance: Allan stands five feet ten at his tallest, and has a head of scruffy, curly blonde hair. His eyes are blue, and he has normal Caucasian skin tone, a light dusting of freckles on his cheeks, a small nose and thin lips. His build is average, and he normally wears a simple shirt or polo tee along with cargo jeans and sneakers or running shoes.

Short description of character's personality (including any skills/weaknesses they have): Allan is an easygoing individual, being able to get along with pretty much anyone. Laid back and relaxed, it hides the focus and skill he has and displays in his line of work. Since he's a nurse, he is trained in first aid, trauma care, basic cardiac life saving, along with his knowledge of the human body, biological systems, diseases and their symptoms and whatnot. However he's not all that fit, and making him run for more than a few minutes will tire him out easily.

Anything else important: Has a cute female black labrador called Bess.

[Warbozz]

Name: Taisto Nummi

Age:26

Degree:Business

Short description of character's outwards appearance: Short and stout fellow with neat blonde hair and much longer beard of same sandy color, although few years prior in excellent shape, now the beginnings of an beer belly forming can be observed.

Short description of character's personality (including any skills/weaknesses they have: Very quick to make new friends and equally as quick to tell off people who in his opinion "talk too much bullshit." Taisto has spent most of his youth in bars, on both sides of the counter, after getting what he considered adequate work experience in Finland he set out to Sweden in order to study business and management in order to fulfill his dream of owning his own bar one day (despite lacking funds and an solid business goal.) Currently unemployed, looking for more bar work. Often described as lazy by those not knowing his true personality, while it is true that he enjoyed the reputation of an "party animal" in college and never finishing his assingments in time, his above avarage grades could not be denied, proving that while beginning to work in earnest he could make the impossible possible. Taisto also enjoys an occational forest bird hunting trip with his father and brothers from time to time, making him quite accurate with rifles and shotguns (He does not own either.)

Anything else important: At the moment lazing about in the apartment watching movies and tv series, rarely seen without an beer can in his hand.

[jel2658]

Name: Erstwhile Hammond

Age: 34

Degree: Architecture

Short description of character's outwards appearance:
Erstwhile has short, brown hair that is normally in disarray, because he doesn't take much care of it. He is about 6'3", and is very lanky. Normally, he wears a white dress shirt, and brown cargo pants.

Short description of character's personality (including any skills/weaknesses they have):
Erstwhile isn't too brash, but sometimes his emotions get the better of him. Luckily, that doesn't happen too often, and he can think his way through a situation with enough time. He doesn't get frustrated easily, and prefers to try to stay out of arguments and conflict as much as he can. Unfortunately, that attitude has lead him to be slightly reserved, without him realizing it that much. People can tend to fall into the belief that he's either just quiet, or is cold.

Anything else important:
Can get caught up in something and almost completely ignore people talking to him. Was called to the House by Max, when things started to get weird.
