  • General Info

    So I just wanted to write here as a preface to the signup sheet that I'm not very picky with my characters in terms of details regarding their height/appearance/favorite food and random qualities like that. What I am picky on is that the character designed and written should fit the world that this Roleplay takes place in. This roleplay is fairly central in the world of 1980's slashers like Friday the 13th, The Dorm That Dripped Blood, Final Exam, Maniac, and Terror Train. It takes place in the 1980s so please keep that in mind when designing your character. Feel free to embrace the tropes and archetypes typically found in Slashers like the ones below:

    • The Shy Girl
    • The Jock
    • The Red Herring
    • The Party Girl/Guy
    • The Nerd
    • The Mean Girl
    • The Cop
    • The Instructor/The Dean
    • The Stoner
    • The Fool
    • The Nice Guy
    And in case you need any information on the university itself, check up on the locations thread found here: Realistic or Modern - Student Bodies - Locations

~The Cop~
|| Irina Olga Bogdanovich ||

Age || 32 ||

||Appearance||
1fc606482fb44a4385122ed993b979c6.jpg


Brief Bio || Irina initially graduated from Sommerset University back in the Spring of 1974 with a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice before going on to Police Academy and was sworn into the Sommerset Police Department in the Summer of 1975. Although Irina enjoyed her Job, it was mostly very laxed as there wasn't very much crime outside of Shoplifting and Noise Complaints. Sure there was the occasional teens egging a house, going on a joy ride or doing underage drinking, but there wasn't very much action. Much of Irina's time was spent at her desk if she wasn't out on patrol and within the first four years of her long and boring career, Irina was promoted to Detective.

Fast-forward five more years and Irina decides to go back to school after finding herself dealing with an unplanned pregnancy, but making the choice to keep the baby. With most of her time being spent behind a desk, Irina would make the decision to go back to school, signing up for classes and looking to get a Master's Degree in Criminal Justice while her pregnancy progresses. Perfect timing if anything, because her due date is almost right after Graduation! Unfortunately, there is one more problem she is gonna have to face during Finals Week...||


Personality || Having been policing a small town for the last ten years of her life, Irina usually has a laid back and easygoing demeanor since there isn't very much trouble around Sommerset. Because she has a fairly easy job, Irina is relatively happy and with keeping the peace, Irina became very social, always happy to meet new people, getting to know the locals, talking about the joys of life. As a Student, Irina is very focused and get her work done. When it comes to homework, she likes to take her time, making sure everything is done right instead of rushing through just to be finished. With her hardwork, she also stays on top of due dates for her assignments and her homework and always making sure they're either turned in early or on time, never late.

Unlike other College Students, new or returning for a higher degree, Irina is an expecting mother, so she is self-conscious because of the pregnancy and has doubts about being a good mother to her child and constantly worries about the child growing inside of her, loving them more then anything, including her job. Although these things are inherent with pregnancy, Irina often needs the reassurance that she will be a good mother.||

Writing Sample: Movie Night
who-is-alicia-sierra.jpg
On a Saturday Evening, Detective, College Student and Expecting Mother Irina Bogdanovich was just returning to Campus after a late night movie with a couple of fellow students. Irina didn't really get out much and it wasn't often she spoke with others aside from the casual conversation with the Locals while out on patrol or with her Co-Workers. As an Off-Duty Police Officer though, she was required to keep her service pistol on her person at all times, so she had a means of defense. Sadly, there was no way for her to contact her Colleagues in case things got weird. As she got back to Campus, she started making her way back to her dorm room. As Irina walked through the campus, she was alarmed by some ruffling in the bushes. On instinct, she quickly drew her gun, only to see a bunny hop out and start jumping away. Breathing a sigh of relief, she holstered her gun and stared cradling her swollen belly as she felt her baby kick. Sighing, she started walking towards the Girls' Dormitory.

...In the Dorm Halls...

Once she made her way into the Dormitory, she heard some footsteps on the second floor. Feeling uncomfortable and rubbing her belly, Irina made her way upstairs before she was startled by the sound of metal being dropped on the floor. "Oh shit!"

That was all she had heard coming from above. Feeling anxious, she quickly made her way back to her dorm room, which was on the seventh floor. The Elevator was still out, so she had to take the stairs. Upon arriving on the top floor, she saw a shadow on the other side of the hall. Before anything could happen, the lights suddenly went out. But then turned back on. The shadow was gone! As she took a deep breath, Irina started making her way to her dorm. Just as she was about to unlock the door, she heard running on the end of the hall, prompting her to draw her pistol and pointed it in the direction that it came from, even thumbing back the hammer and turning the safety off. As it got quiet again, she unlocked the door before hearing a muffled girl's scream. Quickly, she went into her room where she opened a drawer on the desk to grab a flashlight. With a Flashlight in one hand and her gun at the ready in the other, she slowly made her way down the hall and the lights turned off again! In response she turned the flashlight on and when she had gotten to the other end of the hall, saw a trail of... Blood... With no way to call for back-up, she started following the trailer of blood, which led her to one of the bathrooms. The door had been left ajar. Slowly making her way to the bathroom, the lights turned back on and what greeted her would haunt her nightmares in the days to come...

|| Anna Summers|| || 19 ||
||Currently Anna is stuck studying accounting to please her parents that are paying for her school. She wishes that she could change her majors but is afraid of her parents cutting off her funding and losing her party life. Although going to the biggest frat party around is her biggest goal during the semester, a close second would not be failing out of college. Trying to balance between partying and actually doing your homework is not something Anna has a good understanding of doing. She is also a member of popular Greek house Sigma Sigma Sigma after her parents pulled some string during her freshmen year.||

||Anna is a carefree girl who isn’t really frightened easily. This could stem from her lack of understanding of her surroundings. The only two things that really scares her are running out of booze at a party or a call from her father. She is brave enough to never back down from a dare or challenge if the prize interests her. In the end all Anna wants to do is have a good time living her best years in college without any regrets.||

||Growing up Anna’s parents controlled every part of her life from after school tutors to taking piano lessons at three years old. Attending college is Anna’s first chance at freedom and independence which has led her to going wild. Before she left for college her parents gave her a credit card which they gave her to buy anything that she needed for classes. She is also very good at numbers along with math since she was young causing her parents to make her be an accountant.||



||Sample Writing Prompt #2||

It was still early into the night as the sorority girls were all sitting in the main living room getting ready for tonight's party at Sigma Alpha Alpha. There was a mess of makeup bags lining the coffee tables, hot rollers plugged into the walls ready to be used, and burning cigarettes in the ash trays. A variety of shoes from heels to platforms to pumps spread out across the floor for the girls trip over any time they tried to cross the room. In the background the radio was going with the local town station playing the latest songs from their favorite artists. One of the girls, Mary Jane fritz was standing against the wall beside a few of her sisters describing how she saw some of the boys at the store buying alcohol earlier in the day.

Mary Jane was looking into a compact as she applied the mascara to her lashes. "I saw Billy and Stan at the store buying cases of Coors beer for the party when I went to buy a coke. The party should be full load for us so make sure we look cute everyone so we can get free drinks!"

"I am always cute, Mary." Anna chimed in to the conversation as she unraveled the hot rollers from her hair. She was going to make sure that her natural red hair was going to large and curly tonight so she can grab every boy attention. Her hand gently ran through the tight curls in her hair to unravel them to get the big volume that she was looking for. "Hey Janie!" The red head turned her head to look at the dark haired brunette reading a magazine next to the radio. "Can you turn up the music? I love this song!"

Janie let out a sigh as she had to put her magazine done on to the table, "Fiiiiine." That article was just getting interesting talking about the new movies that are going be released in the next upcoming weeks. She reached out to turn the knob to raise the volume as the other girls start to sing along to the song that was playing. The singing was cut short when the song was paused for the radio station host apologizing for the interruption. The host announced there was breaking news at the police station has received crypt letters about a killer threatening to attack. Sisters looked at each other panicked when Janie turned down the volume on the radio. "I don't think that we should go out tonight, girls."

Anna took out the last roller in her hair as she rolled her eyes. "Seriously!? You are all freaking out over nothing." She placed the roller back into the case it came from and closed it after she was done. Her hands ran down the front of her dress removing any wrinkles as she stood up. "It is probably some college kids that can't get into parties so they are trying to ruin the night for everyone."

Mary Jane had her arms folded up against her chest as she kept her eye on the radio. "I don't know about this, Anna. What if some tries to hurt us when we are out?"

"We will have the frat boys protect us, duh. Those manly men would jump into any action for us lady if it meant they would look cool." Anna walked across the room dodging all the loose shoes across the floor to get to the radio. She turned to face all of her sorority sisters in the room while her hand rested on the radio. "Now let's go back to getting ready." Her hand turned the knob to change to a station to play music then cracked the volume back up to lighten the mood.

Derek Wayne Phillips - The Jock

4jRD.gif
4jR8.gif
200w.gif


|| 21 ||

|| A Kinniseology student and member of Sigma Alpha Alpha, Derek Philips seems to have it all. Born in Westchester Pennsylvania Derek came from a working-class family of Miners. From a young age, Derek displayed exceptional abilities in football and basketball. Despite his athleticism, Derek struggled all throughout high school to maintain his grades. He failed a few classes but through scamming the system and a bit of old-school cheating Derek managed to alter his transcripts just enough to be offered a Scholarship to Sommerset University. He took the first chance to get out of his economically depressed town without considering the financial and responsible implications. Now, as he approaches his Senior year Derek finds himself in debt and struggling to scrounge up money to pay for his final two semesters.

The answer to his financial hardships seemed to come in the form of a job proposition from his local drug dealer. Derek now spends his weekends smuggling drugs over the Canadian border as well as making a bit of cash selling around campus as well as to his fraternity brothers. He fears that if the school finds out that not only will he lose his spot on the basketball team (and thus his only small financial aid).||

|| A true party animal as well as a bit of airhead, Derek doesn't have a mean bone in his body. His party-first work-later attitude often finds him facing easily avoidable situations that he struggles to deal with. Throughout his life, Derek's learned that there's nothing a little trickery and a little charisma can't solve. All in all, Derek cares greatly about those around him, especially the women in his life. Despite the rotating doors of women in his life Derek hopes to find a steady that he can hold down as he moves towards his senior year.||








Micheal "Pips" "Pepsi" Riley - The Red Herring

3Tzp.gif
7ec789317e942acb36c656ff2262ab2c.gif


|| 21 ||

|| Ask him and he'd tell you, "Pips" or "Pepsi" is one of the most eccentric students on Sommerset's campus. A diagnosed Schizotypal and Pathological Liar, Pips stories about where he's from change frequently. One minute he's a visitor from a faraway planet not unlike those from the Star Wars movies, the next minute he's an ex-feral child raised by wolves in the Canadian wilderness. The truth is Pips comes from an upper-class family in Santa Clarita, California. As a chronically bored teenager Pips took to excessive drug use to help pass the time and aid in the creative processes for his artistic and filmmaking endeavors. Don't be fooled, despite his eccentricity and addiction to hard drugs, Pips is a talented artist and sees the world from a different perspective than most. He's a double major in Art and Film and can often be seen roaming campus taking pictures and meditating. On multiple occasions he's been caught by faculty trespassing in the backrooms and maintenance area of the campus, even scaling the dormitories from the outside just to reach the roof. He's found friendship in a few close friends on campus who enjoy checking in on him on occasion to make sure he's doing okay. ||

|| While some may find trusting Pips hard on account of his pathological lies and erratic personality, Pips isn't a bad guy. While many are turned away from his unsettling obsession with himself and his otherworldly creations, Pips enjoys a close circle of friends and seeing the beauty in everything. He hates those who don't appreciate the beauty in everyday things and looks forward to graduating seeing as he sees it in the next step to pursuing his career as an artist and filmmaker.||

The Loner (Tentatively Complete)
Name: Rachel Ainsworth
Age: 22
Gender: Female

Appearance:
451cbfd8a1c9dddbbecc3f0da7d3a22d.jpg
Rachel has dark penetrating eyes and strong brows. She keeps her dark hair casually styled with subtle curls and wispy bangs. Rachel is taller than average, standing at five foot eight. She prefers simplicity when it comes to clothing and accessories, often has a book in hand, and is hardly ever seen without her trademark red lipstick.

Personality: With her shrewd personality and lack of expression, Rachel is often perceived as a standoffish person, resulting in her peers giving her a wide berth. Rachel has made no effort to remedy the situation, deliberately placing distance between herself and the rest of the world in turn. She finds it difficult to relate to others - from the petty drama they involve themselves in to the unspoken social norms they willingly conform to.
After three years of carving out a solitary path in university, trying to be anything else at this point would be too complicated. Rachel is a stubbornly independent and straightforward woman. She is just fine being alone - in fact, it is preferable. That is what she tells herself, at least.

Background: Rachel's passion in life is literature. It is somewhat ironic - she spends most of her free time avidly consuming works that delve into the human condition, and yet could not be less interested in life around her. Nevertheless, Rachel majors in English Literature.
Rachel was brought up in a lower-middle class home in a quiet town surrounded by woodlands. Her life was mostly content - she liked the few friends she had on the volleyball team and enjoyed spending time at the public library on the weekends. She and her mother were fairly close.
Things began to come apart when, at thirteen, her mother remarried. Rachel was wary about her new stepfather and unfortunately, her intuition was validated when Willie turned abusive.
He never laid his hands on them, thankfully, but the shouting matches and violent outbursts (which usually ended in smashed plates or broken furniture) made home strained and unpleasant. By the time Rachel turned seventeen, she was counting down the days to freedom - and she already had her hopes set on Somerset University as her ticket out.

Writing Prompt:
Rachel stared blankly at the sad state of her walls. A solitary poster of her new favorite band, The Replacements, hung limply over a fresh hole in the plaster. She absentmindedly reached up to smooth down a corner where the tape had started to peel, coming out of her stiff position of tucked legs and hunched shoulders.
It was her birthday, not that she cared all that much. It was only significant for the passage of time it represented; one year left until she could escape for good.
Downstairs, the familiar rise of harsh voices reached Rachel through her closed door, eliciting a weary sigh from the girl. She might be indifferent about the day, but at the very least peace and quiet would have been nice.
She peered out the window at the stretch of woods nearby, considering. The sun wasn't too low in the sky just yet - there was about an hour left of daylight. Should she risk it?
The shouts were growing in intensity. She could already envision the scene: Willie towering in the kitchen with his bulky frame, face slowly splotching in shades of red and purple, while her mom inched towards the knife block, hands raised in supplication.
Better than sticking around here, Rachel decided. In mere moments the cracked shutters were thrown open and she was scaling the giant oak conveniently positioned near her window. A few moments more and the sounds of fighting faded completely as Rachel entered the sanctity of the trees.
She walked for about ten minutes, making sure not to stray too far off the path, before settling on an overturned log. She fished out a worn copy of Osamu Dazai's "No Longer Human" from where she had shoved it into the pocket of her jeans and began to read.
The sun had nearly set before Rachel realized it was getting too dark to make out the print.
"Shit," Rachel hissed under her breath, jumping to her feet and tucking he book back into her jeans before setting off on a light jog down the path. It was a little ominous trekking through a forest at night, but that wasn't what worried Rachel. Her mom definitely would have noticed her absence by now, and if Rachel didn't get back ASAP Willie would catch wind of it too. That would not be a pretty situation.
It took a couple of minutes for Rachel to notice the presence behind her.
She wasn't certain, at first. Maybe it was the way the breeze shifted around something that wasn't stationary, or maybe it was what she imagined to be the near-silent footfalls of a predator stalking its prey. As the seconds ticked by Rachel felt a tightening in her stomach. She wanted to turn around and see if the danger was real or only in her mind, because the not knowing was becoming more unbearable than the possible confirmation of her fears, but the girl fixed her gaze ahead and forced a steady pace.
Because, if there really was something with malicious intent stalking her, then the worst thing she could do was let on that she was aware, right?
Unfortunately, the charade wouldn't hold up for much longer. The unmistakeable snap of a twig breaking underneath a shoe rang out, and terror seized Rachel as her body shot forward like a bullet.
Whoever was in pursuit didn't bother to mask their presence anymore, heavy feet trampling anything in their way. Even through her panic, Rachel was painfully aware of a man's hoarse breathing, the ghost of a powerful hand grasping at her sweaty t-shirt, disgusting warmth brushing the base of her neck.
As Rachel bolted around a curve suddenly the porch lights of her house were visible through the dusk and, pumping her legs furiously, she broke through the line of trees into the empty field beside it.
She could feel the hunter stop in his tracks, but she kept sprinting over the uneven terrain and threw herself against the oak, hands scrabbling at the rough bark to hoist herself up, tumbling headfirst through the open window and turning around to slam it closed in one frenzied motion.
She collapsed hard on the carpeted floor, trying to catch her breath, scraping loose hair back from her face with trembling fingers. Breathe, just breathe, she thought. It was all she could bear thinking about in the moment.
Somehow, eventually, Rachel calmed down enough to face what had just happened. The adrenaline pumping through her veins dissipated, leaving her exhausted, but thoughtful. She already knew calling the cops was out of the question; that would mean confessing to her parents, and that was more trouble than it was worth. It was a close call, but Rachel was fine now; besides, what could she say? She hadn't a clue what the man looked like, wasn't entirely convinced the whole episode wasn't just a figment of her imagination. No, the events of this night would stay locked away in her own memories.

Yes I have! I'll make one for Out Of Character Discussions and I'll let the other decide whether they'd want to write the roleplay here or on Discord. :)
Well I'm okay with Roleplaying on here. I was only wondering about a Discord for OoC because people seem to communicate better for the most part when there is one.
 
.:Hope I'm not too late. Just got home. If so, it's fine. :) :.

THE NICE GUY

yYwgLck.gif
|| Name || Jordan "Fulk" Fulkner

|| Age || 23

|| Appearance || Fulk has a broad smile, blue eyes, and shaggy, chestnut-brown hair. His face is incredibly expressive and easy to read, and it's not uncommon to find him on the lawn in comfortable-looking sweaters and faded Wrangler jeans. Fulk's left ear sports a shiny, circular scar from a piercing that he took out a few years ago and let close up.

|| Brief History/Backstory || Sommerset University happened to be Fulk's first choice to study psychology. As a matter of fact, the Fulkners practiced psychology as a family tradition almost. His great-grandfather, grandfather, and father all acted as experts in the field. Though, truth be told, Fulk often waxed poetic on the newly established computer club that opened up last year. His father would have none of it, claiming that computers were simply a passing fad.

Fulk's primary goal is to finish his degree in psychology, move out of state, and immediately buy a Commodore 64. It's not that he hated psychology; he just wanted a hobby that would open a gate to the future.

|| Personality || Fulk's personality could easily be summed up in one word—kind. Not that there weren't other words people could use to describe him. It's just that kind usually popped into a person's mind first when asked. He volunteered, helped people study, joined any event committee that needed him, and still found the time to hang out with his small circle of friends. Given the time, people would come up with things like; shy, passionate, generous, and rad... Many of his friends have asked him, 'Why haven't you found a girlfriend yet?' but he'd just laugh and wave them off. They just assumed he lived a busy life.

|| Anything Else (Anything else you feel would help expand your character's depth) || There happened to be a reason that Fulk still showed up single to parties and outings. A pretty big reason that the blind dates his friends set up for him always ended with a peck on the cheek and a polite goodbye. Fulk discovered early on that people like him weren't liked by others.

Despite Sommerset's progressive thinking, he still heard the jokes, his friends still laughed, and when rumors spread about who and who wasn't—honestly, it didn't matter. He made a plan to be the good guy. He would prove to be gentle and kind and a fantastic person to know. When he finally decided to tell his friends about it, he would explain that it didn't change anything about him. He was still Fulk. They would understand... Maybe.

"You're not going to be able to convince Fulk. He hates the beach," Sarah Briggson said.

The young woman of twenty-two rested with her back flat on the ground beneath her. She wore a pair of royal-blue tinted sunglasses over her eyes, and the denim jacket she kept on during class found its way beneath her head. Fulk's eyes caught the dazzling tiny pin-pricks of light from the sun on the rhinestones. She tilted her head toward the brunette sitting with his legs pulled up in front of him. Propped up on his knees in front of him was George Orwell's "1984".

Sarah heaved an exasperated sigh, her upturned nose wrinkling at him, "You know that was last year, right?"

Fulk could barely see her eyes past the round tinted frames, "She's right. I hate the beach."

Roger Greenlake, one of the guys from the computer club, groaned, "Man, my mom's letting me stay a week at the vacation house. The least you could do is suck it up and come with."

"Yeah, okay," he replied. Something wailed away quietly in the background noise of the campus. Fulk heard it earlier, but it seemed to be getting louder.

Roger let out a whoop, "Dude, I am so stoked right now!"

8WlIQssm.jpg
Sarah frowned and opened her mouth to say something, but a police cruiser's shrill siren cut her off. Blue and red lights spun like a disco ball over the roof. Roger turned his angular face to watch as it went by.

The sound faded away as quickly as it came, though. Fulk had to wonder how fast did they would have to be going to disappear like that? The university maintained a strict ten-mile-per-hour zone through the entire campus. God help them if a student decided to cross the street. Nothing felt right about this.

"Speed kills, asshole," Sarah called after the car. "Anyway, you shouldn't push Fulk into stuff like that, you know he-"

Sirens broke into the conversation again. This time, their whining pitch reverberated off the stone walls of the dorm behind them, causing Fulk to grimace. Roger pressed his palms flat against his ears, trying to shut out the sudden assault. Five cars rocketed past, all in a neat line just like the one before. Lights flashing like mad. Fulk watched as Sarah's glasses slipped down the bridge of her nose, and Roger's coal-black eyes squinted.

"What's going on," Roger shouted.

Sarah shook her head at him, her short, dark hair flying around her face, "WHAT?!"

Again, the screeching drifted off around the next corner, leaving the grounds around them in a strange hush. Roger stood from his spot, brushing grass and dirt off the back of his shorts. He craned his neck as if he might see a gruesome car accident past the political-sciences building.

"I said, what do you think is going on?"

Sarah shrugged, "Probably just a drunk frat boy crashed his daddy's Mercedes into a tree somewhere."

"I don't know," Fulk said, "I don't think there would be that many for an accident."

The other two quickly moved on, pushing the event out of the minds, but Fulk kept thinking about it. He didn't know why, but he became overwhelmed by a sense of dreadful anticipation. His cornflower eyes scanned the lawn, noticing how students were standing close together and talking in excited whispers. Whatever happened, the news of it was spreading fast.

Irina didn't really get out much and it wasn't often she spoke with others aside from the casual conversation with the Locals while out on patrol or with her Co-Workers.

With a Flashlight in one hand and her gun at the ready in the other, she slowly made her way down the hall and the lights turned off again! In response she turned the flashlight on and when she had gotten to the other end of the hall, saw a trail of... Blood... With no way to call for back-up, she started following the trailer of blood, which led her to one of the bathrooms. The door had been left ajar. Slowly making her way to the bathroom, the lights turned back on and what greeted her would haunt her nightmares in the days to come...

THE NICE GUY

yYwgLck.gif
|| Name || Jordan "Fulk" Fulkner

|| Age || 23

|| Appearance || Fulk has a broad smile, blue eyes, and shaggy, chestnut-brown hair. His face is incredibly expressive and easy to read, and it's not uncommon to find him on the lawn in comfortable-looking sweaters and faded Wrangler jeans. Fulk's left ear sports a shiny, circular scar from a piercing that he took out a few years ago and let close up.

|| Brief History/Backstory || Sommerset University happened to be Fulk's first choice to study psychology. As a matter of fact, the Fulkners practiced psychology as a family tradition almost. His great-grandfather, grandfather, and father all acted as experts in the field. Though, truth be told, Fulk often waxed poetic on the newly established computer club that opened up last year. His father would have none of it, claiming that computers were simply a passing fad.

Fulk's primary goal is to finish his degree in psychology, move out of state, and immediately buy a Commodore 64. It's not that he hated psychology; he just wanted a hobby that would open a gate to the future.

|| Personality || Fulk's personality could easily be summed up in one word—kind. Not that there weren't other words people could use to describe him. It's just that kind usually popped into a person's mind first when asked. He volunteered, helped people study, joined any event committee that needed him, and still found the time to hang out with his small circle of friends. Given the time, people would come up with things like; shy, passionate, generous, and rad... Many of his friends have asked him, 'Why haven't you found a girlfriend yet?' but he'd just laugh and wave them off. They just assumed he lived a busy life.

|| Anything Else (Anything else you feel would help expand your character's depth) || There happened to be a reason that Fulk still showed up single to parties and outings. A pretty big reason that the blind dates his friends set up for him always ended with a peck on the cheek and a polite goodbye. Fulk discovered early on that people like him weren't liked by others.

Despite Sommerset's progressive thinking, he still heard the jokes, his friends still laughed, and when rumors spread about who and who wasn't—honestly, it didn't matter. He made a plan to be the good guy. He would prove to be gentle and kind and a fantastic person to know. When he finally decided to tell his friends about it, he would explain that it didn't change anything about him. He was still Fulk. They would understand... Maybe.

"You're not going to be able to convince Fulk. He hates the beach," Sarah Briggson said.

The young woman of twenty-two rested with her back flat on the ground beneath her. She wore a pair of royal-blue tinted sunglasses over her eyes, and the denim jacket she kept on during class found its way beneath her head. Fulk's eyes caught the dazzling tiny pin-pricks of light from the sun on the rhinestones. She tilted her head toward the brunette sitting with his legs pulled up in front of him. Propped up on his knees in front of him was George Orwell's "1984".

Sarah heaved an exasperated sigh, her upturned nose wrinkling at him, "You know that was last year, right?"

Fulk could barely see her eyes past the round tinted frames, "She's right. I hate the beach."

Roger Greenlake, one of the guys from the computer club, groaned, "Man, my mom's letting me stay a week at the vacation house. The least you could do is suck it up and come with."

"Yeah, okay," he replied. Something wailed away quietly in the background noise of the campus. Fulk heard it earlier, but it seemed to be getting louder.

Roger let out a whoop, "Dude, I am so stoked right now!"

8WlIQssm.jpg
Sarah frowned and opened her mouth to say something, but a police cruiser's shrill siren cut her off. Blue and red lights spun like a disco ball over the roof. Roger turned his angular face to watch as it went by.

The sound faded away as quickly as it came, though. Fulk had to wonder how fast did they would have to be going to disappear like that? The university maintained a strict ten-mile-per-hour zone through the entire campus. God help them if a student decided to cross the street. Nothing felt right about this.

"Speed kills, asshole," Sarah called after the car. "Anyway, you shouldn't push Fulk into stuff like that, you know he-"

Sirens broke into the conversation again. This time, their whining pitch reverberated off the stone walls of the dorm behind them, causing Fulk to grimace. Roger pressed his palms flat against his ears, trying to shut out the sudden assault. Five cars rocketed past, all in a neat line just like the one before. Lights flashing like mad. Fulk watched as Sarah's glasses slipped down the bridge of her nose, and Roger's coal-black eyes squinted.

"What's going on," Roger shouted.

Sarah shook her head at him, her short, dark hair flying around her face, "WHAT?!"

Again, the screeching drifted off around the next corner, leaving the grounds around them in a strange hush. Roger stood from his spot, brushing grass and dirt off the back of his shorts. He craned his neck as if he might see a gruesome car accident past the political-sciences building.

"I said, what do you think is going on?"

Sarah shrugged, "Probably just a drunk frat boy crashed his daddy's Mercedes into a tree somewhere."

"I don't know," Fulk said, "I don't think there would be that many for an accident."

The other two quickly moved on, pushing the event out of the minds, but Fulk kept thinking about it. He didn't know why, but he became overwhelmed by a sense of dreadful anticipation. His cornflower eyes scanned the lawn, noticing how students were standing close together and talking in excited whispers. Whatever happened, the news of it was spreading fast.

[The Party Girl] WIP

0158c9208e23bd9e41afe280728a8347.jpg


|| Anna Summers||

|| 19 ||

||Currently Anna is stuck studying accounting to please her parents that are paying for her school. She wishes that she could change her majors but is afraid of her parents cutting off her funding and losing her party life. Although going to the biggest frat party around is her biggest goal during the semester, a close second would not be failing out of college. Trying to balance between partying and actually doing your homework is not something Anna has a good understanding of doing. She is also a member of popular Greek house Sigma Sigma Sigma after her parents pulled some string during her freshmen year. ||

|| Anna is a carefree girl who isn’t really frightened easily. This could stem from her lack of understanding of her surroundings. The only two things that really scares her are running out of booze at a party or a call from her father. She is brave enough to never back down from a dare or challenge if the prize interests her. In the end all Anna wants to do is have a good time living her best years in college without any regrets. ||

|| Growing up Anna’s parents controlled every part of her life from after school tutors to taking piano lessons at three years old. Attending college is Anna’s first chance at freedom and independence which has led her to going wild. Before she left for college her parents gave her a credit card which they gave her to buy anything that she needed for classes. She is also very good at numbers along with math since she was young causing her parents to make her be an accountant. ||



||Sample Writing Prompt #2||

It was still early into the night as the sorority girls were all sitting in the main living room getting ready for tonight's party at Sigma Alpha Alpha. There was a mess of makeup bags lining the coffee tables, hot rollers plugged into the walls ready to be used, and burning cigarettes in the ash trays. A variety of shoes from heels to platforms to pumps spread out across the floor for the girls trip over any time they tried to cross the room. In the background the radio was going with the local town station playing the latest songs from their favorite artists. One of the girls, Mary Jane fritz was standing against the wall beside a few of her sisters describing how she saw some of the boys at the store buying alcohol earlier in the day.

Mary Jane was looking into a compact as she applied the mascara to her lashes. "I saw Billy and Stan at the store buying cases of Coors beer for the party when I went to buy a coke. The party should be full load for us so make sure we look cute everyone so we can get free drinks!"

"I am always cute, Mary." Anna chimed in to the conversation as she unraveled the hot rollers from her hair. She was going to make sure that her natural red hair was going to large and curly tonight so she can grab every boy attention. Her hand gently ran through the tight curls in her hair to unravel them to get the big volume that she was looking for. "Hey Janie!" The red head turned her head to look at the dark haired brunette reading a magazine next to the radio. "Can you turn up the music? I love this song!"

Janie let out a sigh as she had to put her magazine done on to the table, "Fiiiiine." That article was just getting interesting talking about the new movies that are going be released in the next upcoming weeks. She reached out to turn the knob to raise the volume as the other girls start to sing along to the song that was playing. The singing was cut short when the song was paused for the radio station host apologizing for the interruption. The host announced there was breaking news at the police station has received crypt letters about a killer threatening to attack. Sisters looked at each other panicked when Janie turned down the volume on the radio. "I don't think that we should go out tonight, girls."

Anna took out the last roller in her hair as she rolled her eyes. "Seriously!? You are all freaking out over nothing." She placed the roller back into the case it came from and closed it after she was done. Her hands ran down the front of her dress removing any wrinkles as she stood up. "It is probably some college kids that can't get into parties so they are trying to ruin the night for everyone."

Mary Jane had her arms folded up against her chest as she kept her eye on the radio. "I don't know about this, Anna. What if some tries to hurt us when we are out?"

"We will have the frat boys protect us, duh. Those manly men would jump into any action for us lady if it meant they would look cool." Anna walked across the room dodging all the loose shoes across the floor to get to the radio. She turned to face all of her sorority sisters in the room while her hand rested on the radio. "Now let's go back to getting ready." Her hand turned the knob to change to a station to play music then cracked the volume back up to lighten the mood.

Keith Rodriguez - The Deputy

210


|| 30 ||

|| Keith is deputy for the Somerset County Sheriff's Department. Originally a transfer from the NYPD, Keith moved upstate following the spike in violent crime in the city. His parents immigrated from Puerto Rico in the 1950s and assimilated into the country. He became an officer to continue the line of law enforcement in his family started by his father. He's currently married to his wife of three years and is a father to a four-year-old boy.||

|| Keith is a dedicated worker who strives to climb the ladder within the law enforcement system. He cares to serve the community and those around him. However, Rodrigues has in him the machismo pride that was instilled in him by his father. There's no task he'll turn down no matter how hard, and often times this leads to Rodriguez overworking himself.||




 
The Loner (Tentatively Complete)
Name: Rachel Ainsworth
Age: 22
Gender: Female

Appearance:
View attachment 893354
Rachel has dark penetrating eyes and strong brows. She keeps her dark hair casually styled with subtle curls and wispy bangs. Rachel is taller than average, standing at five foot eight. She prefers simplicity when it comes to clothing and accessories, often has a book in hand, and is hardly ever seen without her trademark red lipstick.

Personality: With her shrewd personality and lack of expression, Rachel is often perceived as a standoffish person, resulting in her peers giving her a wide berth. Rachel has made no effort to remedy the situation, deliberately placing distance between herself and the rest of the world in turn. She finds it difficult to relate to others - from the petty drama they involve themselves in to the unspoken social norms they willingly conform to.
After three years of carving out a solitary path in university, trying to be anything else at this point would be too complicated. Rachel is a stubbornly independent and straightforward woman. She is just fine being alone - in fact, it is preferable. That is what she tells herself, at least.

Background: Rachel's passion in life is literature. It is somewhat ironic - she spends most of her free time avidly consuming works that delve into the human condition, and yet could not be less interested in life around her. Nevertheless, Rachel majors in English Literature.
Rachel was brought up in a lower-middle class home in a quiet town surrounded by woodlands. Her life was mostly content - she liked the few friends she had on the volleyball team and enjoyed spending time at the public library on the weekends. She and her mother were fairly close.
Things began to come apart when, at thirteen, her mother remarried. Rachel was wary about her new stepfather and unfortunately, her intuition was validated when Willie turned abusive.
He never laid his hands on them, thankfully, but the shouting matches and violent outbursts (which usually ended in smashed plates or broken furniture) made home strained and unpleasant. By the time Rachel turned seventeen, she was counting down the days to freedom - and she already had her hopes set on Somerset University as her ticket out.

Writing Prompt:
Rachel stared blankly at the sad state of her walls. A solitary poster of her new favorite band, The Replacements, hung limply over a fresh hole in the plaster. She absentmindedly reached up to smooth down a corner where the tape had started to peel, coming out of her stiff position of tucked legs and hunched shoulders.
It was her birthday, not that she cared all that much. It was only significant for the passage of time it represented; one year left until she could escape for good.
Downstairs, the familiar rise of harsh voices reached Rachel through her closed door, eliciting a weary sigh from the girl. She might be indifferent about the day, but at the very least peace and quiet would have been nice.
She peered out the window at the stretch of woods nearby, considering. The sun wasn't too low in the sky just yet - there was about an hour left of daylight. Should she risk it?
The shouts were growing in intensity. She could already envision the scene: Willie towering in the kitchen with his bulky frame, face slowly splotching in shades of red and purple, while her mom inched towards the knife block, hands raised in supplication.
Better than sticking around here, Rachel decided. In mere moments the cracked shutters were thrown open and she was scaling the giant oak conveniently positioned near her window. A few moments more and the sounds of fighting faded completely as Rachel entered the sanctity of the trees.
She walked for about ten minutes, making sure not to stray too far off the path, before settling on an overturned log. She fished out a worn copy of Osamu Dazai's "No Longer Human" from where she had shoved it into the pocket of her jeans and began to read.
The sun had nearly set before Rachel realized it was getting too dark to make out the print.
"Shit," Rachel hissed under her breath, jumping to her feet and tucking he book back into her jeans before setting off on a light jog down the path. It was a little ominous trekking through a forest at night, but that wasn't what worried Rachel. Her mom definitely would have noticed her absence by now, and if Rachel didn't get back ASAP Willie would catch wind of it too. That would not be a pretty situation.
It took a couple of minutes for Rachel to notice the presence behind her.
She wasn't certain, at first. Maybe it was the way the breeze shifted around something that wasn't stationary, or maybe it was what she imagined to be the near-silent footfalls of a predator stalking its prey. As the seconds ticked by Rachel felt a tightening in her stomach. She wanted to turn around and see if the danger was real or only in her mind, because the not knowing was becoming more unbearable than the possible confirmation of her fears, but the girl fixed her gaze ahead and forced a steady pace.
Because, if there really was something with malicious intent stalking her, then the worst thing she could do was let on that she was aware, right?
Unfortunately, the charade wouldn't hold up for much longer. The unmistakeable snap of a twig breaking underneath a shoe rang out, and terror seized Rachel as her body shot forward like a bullet.
Whoever was in pursuit didn't bother to mask their presence anymore, heavy feet trampling anything in their way. Even through her panic, Rachel was painfully aware of a man's hoarse breathing, the ghost of a powerful hand grasping at her sweaty t-shirt, disgusting warmth brushing the base of her neck.
As Rachel bolted around a curve suddenly the porch lights of her house were visible through the dusk and, pumping her legs furiously, she broke through the line of trees into the empty field beside it.
She could feel the hunter stop in his tracks, but she kept sprinting over the uneven terrain and threw herself against the oak, hands scrabbling at the rough bark to hoist herself up, tumbling headfirst through the open window and turning around to slam it closed in one frenzied motion.
She collapsed hard on the carpeted floor, trying to catch her breath, scraping loose hair back from her face with trembling fingers. Breathe, just breathe, she thought. It was all she could bear thinking about in the moment.
Somehow, eventually, Rachel calmed down enough to face what had just happened. The adrenaline pumping through her veins dissipated, leaving her exhausted, but thoughtful. She already knew calling the cops was out of the question; that would mean confessing to her parents, and that was more trouble than it was worth. It was a close call, but Rachel was fine now; besides, what could she say? She hadn't a clue what the man looked like, wasn't entirely convinced the whole episode wasn't just a figment of her imagination. No, the events of this night would stay locked away in her own memories.

|| 53 ||

|| Joseph Kipliff is the current Dean of Students at Sommserset University. He graduated from the University in 1956 and went on to study at Havard where he gained a PHD in Law and Economic Studies. Kipliff served as a Law Professor for the university for 16 years before becoming the Dean in 1978. He's a wealthy and cultured man who cares a lot about the public's perception of Sommerset's image as well as the donations given to the school. He's opposed to many of the progressive politics of the Universities students but has done little to stop the protests and activism that take place on campus. ||





Cheif Williams

dick.gif




|| Patrick Williams is a gruff, working-class man down to his very bones. Born and raised in Hells Kitchen, Williams has long lived a life of apathy and struggle. After marrying his wife in 1940 he headed north to Sommerset to begin his career in the force. He worked his way up and eventually earned the title of Cheif SHeriff of Somerset County. He's witnessed plenty of his lifetime and has grown to be apathetic of the world around him, with the exception of the students at the university. Marlene Cooley, Patrick's sister in law was one of the first victims of the original Sommerset massacre in 1955. Since then he's seen it as his obligation to protect the young lives of those in the campus no matter the cost.||
