Realistic or Modern Lovecraft Apocalypse - CS

[Mitheral]

Blank CS

docs.google.com

If you know how, feel free to modify the CS. For sections like Personality, a description works quite well. I just made the Likes / Dislikes etc to help people organize. It doesn't mean you have to enter something for every section. I mainly want a name, an image, and a decent description of the character so that:

A. People will have a basic idea of what the person that meet is like upon meeting them.
B. Enough info that the character isn't duplicated by someone else.

I through everything into a spoiler so that the page doesn't take an hour to load on a slow connection / computer.

  Alex is afraid of his own shadow - literally. He doesn't sleep without a nightlight. He has nightmares about monsters. He doesn't go outside at night if he can help it. He's afraid of creepy crawly things and would probably scream like a girl if a tarantula dropped on his shoulder.
  
  He tends to be quiet and reserved, perhaps a little shy. But when it comes to explaining issues with languages or computers, he speaks with confidence. He's generally friendly and helpful. He has NO FEAR of trying new things. He's taken boxing and martial arts lessons. He's tried shooting skeet. He tried to ride a motorcycle, but fell over and got pinned while trying to kickstart it. But at least he tried.

Very early on it was clear he was a prodigy in linguistics and mathematics. by 16 he had completed his early degree work at MIT. By 19 he had his PhD's and started on his postgraduate work.
  
  At age 14 his parents were finally declared deceased and he moved back to his ancestral estate in the Boston area to attend MIT. His family has suffered a long line of such disappearances - especially the male members - going back to before the Revolutionary War. His estate dates back to before that war as well. Though it is far from Wayne Manor, it is sizable. But it looks Gothic and run down. He hasn't set foot on over half the rooms. Most everything is covered with sheets. cobwebs and dust. Most of his time there was spent in four rooms: bedroom, kitchen, library, and garage. Both the garage and library have artifacts dating back hundreds to thousands of years. First edition hardback novels from the 18th century, old scrolls, a Model T, some old 20's and 30's cars, an Indian motorcycle, an Electra Glide from the 70's. many of these he has never even touched.

This is a small close knit group of friends who met up in their teens. After an adventure together they parted ways with plans to meet up again after 8 years. They had kept their promises to one another when the apocalypse began. How well armed they are will depend on how long it has been since it started.

Eventually, his parent's distrust would prove too much for him to handle and he would run away from home.
  Escaping from his family, Blake made his way to Boston where he would meet his best friend Molly. The two had both had a difficult life and eventually became as close as siblings. With her help, he eventually was able to figure out that the voices he heard were actually the thoughts of others and he would learn that with the help of certain mind-altering drugs he was able to learn to better control his ability. The two worked all through the city to earn money to sustain themselves. Molly eventually joined an underground fight club, while Blake started to use his talent to convince people that he could read the future.

Spoiler: ”Vincent Santoro”

Vincent Santoro
​

Aliases and Nicknames:
Vince

Age:
53

• Appearance
• Professional Info
• Family, Friends and Enemies
• Psych Profile

• 
  A fairly tall, middle-aged man who generally has a stern expression on his face. He's in decent shape, although he likes to dryly complain about his newly emerging back pains. His attire is very subdued; he makes a lot of money, but his clothes don't reflect it.
  
  
• 
  Position(s):
  Vince is a doctor with decades worth of experience who formerly worked as a paramedic. As a paramedic, he developed skills at working in emergency situations, stabilizing people who were near death. He eventually went to medical school and became a doctor, specializing in emergency medicine. He is well-respected at his workplace for his ability, although his bedside manner leaves something to be desired.
  
  Skills and Unusual Abilities:
  Outside of his medical training, he's skilled at mathematics and has some ability at repairing cars, although only to a hobbyist level. He also has basic outdoorsman skills as one of his few hobbies is going out camping by himself.
  
  
• 
  Vince had a wife who he loved immensely, but she passed away from cancer ten years ago. He has a son who is now a young adult, and his relationship with him is rocky to say the least. The death of his wife led to his son, a young teen at the time, performing poorly in school and becoming increasingly involved with unsavory peers. He would often act out and cause trouble, and Vince's stern attitude made it difficult for the two to communicate properly. Though Vince loves his son, he finds himself easily frustrated with him and the two rarely interact positively.
  
  Outside of his family, Vince's gruff attitude and laser focus on work means that he has few friends. In the rare times that he's not on-call, he likes to fish by himself.
  
  
• 
  General:
  Vince is a deadpan and no-nonsense man. He comes across as blunt and strict, often being overly harsh when he thinks people are being irritating (which coincidentally happens to be most of the time). However, he's competent, logical, and capable of keeping a clear head even in the most tense of situations. Despite his cynicism, he is not a cruel man. Though he may grumble about it, he is extremely dedicated to saving lives and has a genuine desire to help others.
