Elliot

Elliot Springfield

_{18 - Scorpio - Senior - 5'11" - Demi Bennett/Rhea Ripley}

“You're damned if you do anyway, so why not have a little fun with it while you can?”

Appearance Details

Standing just shy of six feet, Elliot is quite tall which, along with her style, makes her quite intimidating at a glance. Her day-to-day school attire ranges from the black leather vests and ripped denim with studded accessories that would make a BDSM enthusiast blush to vulgar-sounding graphic tees of bands. Most infamously was when she told a teacher that the reason the 'C' on her 'AxC' shirt looked like a certain reproductive system was because the name of the band was 'Anal Cunt'. They made her wear her gym shirt the rest of the day.

Elliot has three piercings: her septum and her ears and for her seventeenth birthday her dad let her get a tattoo which is above her left ankle. It's an Empire logo from Star Wars. Her dad got a matching Republic logo. Her hair has been an undercut bob since sophomore year and at this point she shows no signs of changing it. She pulls it off, why change that.

She's not an athlete but she does have biceps that don't go unnoticed - especially when she wears her favored 'vest and sleeveless punk tee' combo; the arm strength comes from having to be her own roadie though she's not a stranger to the gym, she just doesn't have a specific routine or regimen, but having to load up a drum kit and shitty amps requires more than just noodle arms.

Characterization

Few people at Stockbridge are as defined as their reputation as Elliot Springfield and most of that she is willing to play into. Most students don't know her as 'Elliot Springfield', that's her stage name; most know her as either 'a terrible influence' or Eleanor Stadler, the girl who shows up to school looking like she came out of a magazine for leather punks. It's easy to accuse Elliot of wrong doings or of being 'that kind of girl' because of how she presents herself. As the lead singer (more of a wailer, really) and guitarist of a garage punk band currently calling themselves 'The Sex Magnums' - whose second concern after finding a permanent name was convincing the administration to let them play prom - Elliot does carry some of the mannerisms of a punk rock type. While not blatantly anti-authority, she's quite prone to slip profanity in front of teachers which certainly made an impression when she was a Freshman and the other Freshman in her class gasped at the audacity.

Naturally, Elliot can be incredibly loud and outspoken, brash and garish, which is where much of her reputation comes from, apart from her style. While she doesn't cut class or go behind the building at lunch to smoke, she acts like the kind of person who does, and on more than one occasion she's been the fall girl for some of the pranks and disturbances her 'friends' have pulled. Whether or not that makes her stupidly loyal or just stupid is up to the individual, but the fact that she's done more detention despite never doing anything worse than telling a teacher that "John Steinbeck is fuckin' boring, five hundred pages about how shit it was for the Joads and it ends like shit" probably lends more towards stupid more than anything else. The number of infractions on her record was a key factor as to why Elliot wasn't going to be valedictorian at graduation despite being in the top five academically in her year.

Despite her reputation and appearance and the fact that she carries herself as a troublemaker still, Elliot is incredibly intelligent both academically and generally. She's been on the honor roll all four years but the only ones who knew were her parents and her teachers, along with the guidance counselor constantly telling her that there's nothing wrong with being smart. Elliot agrees with the sentiment, of course, but in her eyes if people already look at her and think they have her entire self figured out, then it's their fault for making assumptions and not her job to show them otherwise. It's flawed logic, but she also once thought "Rectal Prolapse" was a good idea for a band name because their music "was gonna make people shit their pants!"

One might assume that Elliot had some kind of poor upbringing but it was more boring than anything else. She's quite fortunate in that regard, the most she had to deal with was divorce. Her mother was something of a serial bigamist so when her father caught her in bed with a neighbor and one of her co-workers (not at the same time), what choice did James Stadler have other than to file for divorce? Veronica Stadler, nee Webber, thought her only daughter would stay with her and they could be 'like sisters' but Elliot chose her father and the pair of them moved into a small ranch house, the same one belonging to Elliot's grandparents and where her father grew up. It was left to James in his parents' will. Her father is her best friend, he was the one who bought her her first instrument even if it was one of those baby drum kits for toddlers to bang on - it counted. James Stadler was not a man of means, he earned an honest living as a mechanic, and that was enough to get by. Elliot often helped him fix up old cars for free and their passion project was fixing up a 1970 Pontiac GTO which was then given to Elliot as a sweet sixteen present. She loves that car.

Perhaps because of the wall of expectation and reputation that has been built around her, Elliot never really made a lot of friends over her four years. Sure, she'd covered for people and taken their punishments but she'd hesitate to call them friends. Her band mates are the only ones in her phone other than her dad; at school most of the other students seem to either be intimidated by her or put off by her because of what they heard. One of the rumors going around in her senior year was that the only reason she hadn't been expelled was because she was doing something illicit with the principal, or had some incriminating evidence against the principal, or something equally as stupid as high school rumors go. Though she would claim otherwise, her lack of a true best friend or an active social life is one of the regrets she'll carry with her. When she's so caught up in what other people think of her, she sort of forgot to care about herself.

𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄 ••

Rika Kihira
"Captain"

𝐀𝐆𝐄 ••

17

𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 ••

𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 •• 5'7"
𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒 •• Strikingly Violet
𝐇𝐀𝐈𝐑 ••A beautiful, smooth, long cool black that she keeps in a ponytail when it's time to do physical activities; she's unsure how she'd look if she cut her hair shorter.
𝐁𝐔𝐈𝐋𝐃 ••Tall, athletic, surprisingly well built.
𝐃𝐄𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐒 ••Has a pierced ear, doesn't really wear earrings or anything.
𝐒𝐓𝐘𝐋𝐄 ••During the spring season she'll often wear light clothing while in the winter she'll have a jacket tied around her waist. In a rather unique case for the school, Rika is allowed to wear a boys uniform - which she takes advantage of by the fact that she wears slacks and trousers rather than the skirts of the girls uniform. Some allowances have been given for her thanks to her position as captain of the volleyball team and her current three year winning streak since joining the team. She'll never be mistaken for a boy, but she does fill out a pair of pants like no body's business. It's probably the hips. Or the legs. ✦ ✦ ✦

𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 ••

Perhaps because her athletic background and position as captain, Rika is something of a natural leader; she just has one of those auras that makes people want to go into battle with her, metaphorically of course. While she doesn't give rousing speeches at halftime, her fellow team mates have stated that they've been inspired to play better for something as little as Rika looking at them and nodding, or smiling. Nothing seems to get Rika down, the phrase 'cool as a cucumber' applies twice as much in her case as even when there's pressure in game or in academics she never seems to falter or fluster. On that same token she's quite reserved, distant, and doesn't say much - and yet that hasn't stopped a devoted group of fans admiring her from afar. Her smile can melt anything, but why does it seem so distant?

𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 ••

Rika has three siblings, all brothers (two of whom are twins), all younger, and the four of them live with their mother and grandparents. Her grandparents are retired, though they make a survivable living because the Kihira name is on the town batting cages and plenty of people spend a few hours in the afternoon hitting some balls. When Rika isn't at practice or at a game or busy with homework, she can be found working the front desk of the cages. From a young age Rika was pushed towards athletics, starting with little league when she was nine but it wasn't until a summer trip to the beach that it was discovered her almost natural talent for volleyball. She can't recall if it was her decision or her parents, but as far as she can recall she'd been behind the net, serving and spiking with the best of them. Many adults in town speak highly of her, believing that she's going to be on the Olympic team one day, but those words have never been uttered by Rika herself. Still, she can't let people down, now can she?

---

𝐆𝐎𝐀𝐋𝐒 &/or 𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐌𝐒 ••

People want her to help carry the national team to the Olympics. Problem is, she's not sure if she wants to. She's not sure what she wants, only that athletics haven't fulfilled her in any meaningful way so far.

𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐑𝐊𝐒 &/or 𝐇𝐀𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐒 ••

Has never said anything negative or pessimistic. She's never told someone 'no' if they've asked her for anything - the fact that no one has used this to score a confession style date speaks highly to her reputation as 'too cool to approach'. When doing running exercise at practice she always comes in last just to give the others on the team that joy. She quite enjoys the color green.

𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍 ••

The cool volleyball captain who carries the hopes of the townspeople in her future.

That would assume I played anything except Fortnite...

@NuttsnBolts

How did you even manage to survive the three day down time? A kid on my block went outside for the first time as it happened and he exploded.

Video Games: The General Discussion & Community Thread

So, with the Game Awards tomorrow and the year quickly coming to a close I figure now's a good a time as any for everyone's favorite topic.

Hey, guys, what is your Game of the Year for 2019? If it's too hard to pick one, feel free to make a list. Or make a list anyway. What games from 2019 are the ones you look back on the most fondly?

Video Games: The General Discussion & Community Thread

Okay but, anyone thinking we might get a RE4 Remake?

@Majoras End

Honestly? I don't think so. RE4, for better or worse (in the fandom, anyway, I've heard many a fan who dislike RE4), was a monumentally influential game both for the RE series and games at the time, and its legacy is such that it is constantly ported to the point where RE4 is pretty much on any system out there and for relatively cheap. Unlike the PS1 games which were products of their time, RE4 is still fairly modern so what's there to remake in it, really? If anything I'd assume next on the list for remake is Code Veronica.

Video Games: The General Discussion & Community Thread

But on to RE6, didn't you accuse me of fishing for daring to share 'hot take' opinions, such as saying RDR2 was fucking boring (which you later agreed with).

@Dolerman

Wow, it's almost like my opinion changed as I played something for more than three hours. Fuckin' weird how that works, it's almost like someone can enjoy something initially but then realize the faults and flaws as they become more apparent down the line. Sorry I don't have amazing god gamer sense like you do, oh lover of all things Hunie. You tried to pull a 'gotcha' on me a year ago, it didn't work then and it won't work now.

Also I didn't 'accuse' you of fucking shit with RDR2.

Wow, I can't believe how accusatory I was, holy shit!

Hop off me, dude.

You could have just said RE6 was your favorite but you had to state it as being the 'best' because you wanted a response.

Yeah, you know, here I thought the point of a thread was to...oh....I dunno....get conversations going? A back and forth? Get people talking. It accomplished two tasks, letting people know that RE3 art got leaked, thus truly confirming the game, and literally having people talk about an opinion. What the fuck's it matter that I said 'best' instead of 'favorite' when both of them are true in my eyes. It's my favorite and I think it's the best one. Do you think if I had said "RE6 is my favorite one" that no one would respond?

So have you changed your position on hot takes and fishing or is this a Fabricant double standard thing that wont ever be fully explained?

@Dolerman

My dude, liking RE6 isn't a 'hot take' nor was it 'fishing'. Half the time you just post dumb meme shit and bait. Half the time I shit post, but at least it's on topic and I don't dump on people who like something I don't.

@Dolerman

Another fantastic contribution to the thread. Really fostering conversation here, buddy.

<Snipped quote by Fabricant451>

WOW! I wonder which single button is used to trigger that cut-scene attack!

@Dolerman

WOW! I wonder how long it took for you to think of this response while still getting the mechanics wrong! Hey maybe in a few months you'll swing back with something original and valid! Doubtful, but hey, optimism! It's a Shotlock, by the way, not that you care.
