Sorry, been a bit busy, I'll get a post out soon!

The Town That Takes All

Silent Hill // Austin

Name: Austin Adams

Age: 21

Profession: College Student, Cashier, Small-Town Actor

Top 2 personality traits: Always one to persevere, no matter the circumstances ; Fails to plan ahead, which can often lead him to trouble.

Biggest Fear: Thalassophobia (Fear of water, primarily deep or murky water)

Three items you have with you: Smartphone, digital camera (alongside a strap), metal hip flask full of clean water

Bonds: Jonathan Clarke (Classmate, friends since elementary school), Lizzie Loomis (Classmate, friends since elementary school), Amanda Adams (Mother)

Character Flaws (may be self-perceived): Austin is quite stubborn, and while this can be a valuable trait to have, it also comes with its fair share of drawbacks. It isn't uncommon for Austin to fail, only to throw himself at the problem once more at the first opportunity. he fails to learn his lesson, at least without someone to persuade him to move on. Austin does these things because he feels the need to surmount his problems, to prove to himself and others that he can overcome anything, even if he's way out of his depth.

How and why did your character get to Silent Hill: Austin is a film student, taking photography classes on the side. For this class, he needs to take photos for various projects. When an assignment calls for photos of a local landmark, most students merely found an old statue or sign to take a photo of. However, pressured by the others in his group, and not believing in the horrors of the town, Austin marches down to Silent Hill, slipping past the fence. The town wasn't far from his own, and his group offered to drive him to the town. Due to the circumstances, they dropped him off a mile away, promising to be back for him... in the morning. Despite his protests, they drove away, laughing. With a sigh, Austin began his walk to Silent Hill.

Bio: Austin had a relatively bland childhood. He was raised by his single mother, his father having left before he was born. Though she had to work quite a bit, his mother had a great deal of financial aid, meaning that life was fairly smooth. Austin was never a social butterfly, only having a small group of close-knit friends, though was content with what he had. During high school, Austin joined the drama club, falling in love with theatre along the way.

As a budding actor, Austin got quite a few major parts in his high school productions. He was charismatic, at least on stage, and enjoyed the entire process. Auditions, rehearsals, and finally, the show... like clockwork, and he loved it. Eventually, he left his high school days behind, going on to pursue a college education, with local acting gigs on the side. Though he hasn't been in anything bigger than shows at his local community center, he enjoys this line of work.

College is going well for Austin. He does above average in his classes, those being general studies and photography, and actually quite enjoys them. His photography group, while enjoyable most of the time, often use him for their own gain, something that lead to Austin's arrival in Silent Hill. While Austin notices their treatment of him, he never tries to speak up, hoping to gain their respect.

Upon hearing Spamton mention Kris, the prince's facial expression turned to a frown. Kris was nowhere to be found, and that made him nervous. He relied so much on the Lightners for companionship, and now... they were gone.

"We are a team." Ralsei sighed in response. "But I'm here. And Kris and Susie... aren't. They'd probably want me to be strong, and to keep my spirits up, but..."



"I'm... having trouble."

Ralsei's attention was then turned to someone else, who asked for a summary of what was going on. His expression lightened, and he decided to try his best.



"We're... all stuck in a cage." He said, not knowing what else to say besides the obvious. "There was a woman outside earlier, who told us all to stay calm while we wait for... Mr. Luthor, but I don't know who that could be."

Jed looked at the newcomer with a smile. Multiverse hero, eh? Not the weirdest thing he's ever heard, but definitely up there.

"Well, I just offered my services to her," Jed explained, motioning to Ellie. "But you're free to come with, if a 'hero of the multiverse' needs a place to stay, who am I to decline?"

Typically, Jed would never invite anyone to his home. He had a habit of keeping... potential evidence laying around. Guests didn't react well to a wall covered in photos... but here in Metropolis, he hadn't even had the time to start a collection. His apartment was spotless at the moment. Sure, a box sitting in the closest contained his costume and weapon, but he has ways of making sure that stays behind a closed door, literally and figuratively.

"Boston slums, eh?" The journalist replied, sympathy in his tone. "I'm from Florida myself, born and raised. It's a nice place, but I moved around a lot, from Florida to Arkansas, and I know there's greater places out there. For instance, Metropolis is shaping up to be a lot of fun."

Jed looked around, seeing the citizens pass the building, and took a deep breath. This really was a city of Golden opportunity, and he loved it for that. The atmosphere is kind and welcoming, enough to make even he offer his services to someone in need. Whether or not any offers were from the kindness of his heart or all part of a sinister plan was impossible to tell, something he could take advantage of. Maybe he needed a few friends, someone to call in case he needed an alibi or a ride. Maybe even an extra hand.

"Well," He said, holding out his hand for a handshake. "I'm Jed Olsen, journalist and soon-to-be reporter for the Daily Planet. I have an apartment just a couple blocks down, and it looks like you need to wash up, so how about we head down there. I don't have anywhere else to be."
Jed's attention was turned to a newcomer on the scene, an enthusiastic at that. From the words he spoke, this person seemed to be new in town, much like Ellie. Lots of tourists today...

"No worries," He replied with a smile. "Are you new here too?"

"Um, sir," Ralsei spoke up, taking a step towards Negan. "We all need to stay calm. You've already been hurt twice, and I think you should take it easy."

Ralsei then stepped towards Dris, sticking to his side with a warm smile. Of all the people here, Ralsei felt the most comfortable around Dris and Fret. Everyone else seemed so angry and on-edge, but at least these two were keeping their cool. After making sure Dris and Fret were unharmed, Ralsei turned his attention to Negan and the one who he was talking t-



"Oh." The prince spoke. "Hi, Spamton."

Spamton. Ralsei hadn't had time to get to know Spamton, given how their first meeting was a fight to the death. Ralsei and his team came out on top, but Ralsei did manage to hear Spamton's final goodbyes before he joined their side as an item. His opinion on Spamton was... somewhat negative, though he felt a bit of sympathy for the little man.

He was just a corrupted program... right?

Jed accepted the newspaper, folding it in half by the crease. Instead of continuing his read, he stuffed the paper into his satchel along with his other belongings, raising his head to talk to the girl.

"Where you from?" He asked, trying not to sound too curious. "You said you aren't used to the city, and let's just say, I can tell."

Jed realized how harsh his words may have sounded, raising his hand in an apologetic manner as he attempted to fix his wording.

"I meant, you look a little rough." He continued. "I know I'm just a man on the street, but what happened?"
