From Gallifrey with love.
This is the character creation thread for the horror roleplay 'The Starving Darkness'. Due to the high chances of character death in this RP, everyone is asked to make two characters if they like. I don't want anyone being left out if their character perishes.
These are ordinary, everyday people. Nobody is powerful, or immortal. Each person has the chance of dying during the course of the roleplay. When we're getting into a situation where death may occur, I'll post a line of text in my post when that becomes a possibility. Something like this for example; The chance of death has increased. Make your choices carefully.
Name: What is your character's name?
Age: Self-explantory. This is a horror RP that starts at a diner twenty miles outside of the closest city. People without driver's licenses wouldn't be here without parental supervision if they're under a certain age, or someone that drove them here. I'd say, the minimum age I'd accept is 16.
Gender:
Appearance: What does your character look like? I'm more interested in descriptive sentences than face-claims.
Personality: What are they like as a person?
Occupation: What is their occupation? Some examples could be a teacher at the Hallowsbrook high-school (the closest town), etc. If they don't have an occupation you can put unemployed, or student.
Greatest Fear: What are they frightened of most?
Equipment: What would they have on them at a diner? Note: This takes place in British Columbia, Canada so not everyone is walking around with guns. This doesn't include items that could be found in a dinner such as knives, etc.

When your characters have been accepted I'll post an "Accepted" quote-response, and once we've gotten 8 spots filled I'll make the OOC thread, and then the IC.

I've included some example characters which will be my two characters during the course of the roleplay. I'll also be playing all NPCs and creatures, so yeah!
Name: William Thorgood
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Appearance: William stands a good 6'3" and is slightly burly and has a slight "beer belly". He has pale skin, and short brown hair with wisps of gray around his ears. He doesn't have any facial hair, unless you count the stubble around his chin and cheeks. His arms are heavily tattooed and he has a scar above his left eye. Speaking of his eyes, they are a dull blue in colour. He's currently wearing his black chef's jacket, some black pants, and some black sneakers.
Personality: He's quite a friendly individual, and does his best to make sure everyone feels comfortable when they come to the Dead End Diner that he runs. William is considered by some to be a big teddy bear, but can be incredibly tough and protective of those he cares about, including his employees.
Occupation: Head Cook / Owner of the Dead End Diner.
Greatest Fear: Rodents
Equipment: He'd have his wallet, keys to his minivan, his phone and a pack of cigarettes.
Name: Connor McCormick
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Appearance: Connor is a scrawny man who is wearing a navy blue wool pea coat, purple and black plaid shirt, black jeans and a pair of black leather boots. He stands roughly 6'0" and has brown hair that has been shaved down on the sides and back, with a type of quiff styled into his remaining hair. He has hazel coloured eyes, and a short beard moustache. He isn't an imposing figure in the slightest, and has more of a "hipster" vibe if you were to look at him.
Personality: He's an anxious sort of fellow, so he's always under the influence of some sort of drug to make him high, usually magic mushrooms. He's not an annoying person with his drug habits, and usually does them to stay mellow and not an anxious mess. He's a huge talker, and loves talking about his subjects of interest to those who he deems interesting. These topics of interest usually involve cryptids such as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monsters, and the supernatural. He isn't a conspiracy theorist or anything, but he just finds the subject of cryptids and the supernatural highly fascinating. People in the nearby town of Hallowsbrook are aware of his podcast, but they don't think too much of it since the town itself has a strange history.
Occupation: Runs a viral podcast about cryptids called My Friend Bigfoot.
Greatest Fear: People
Equipment: He'd have his wallet, the keys to his winnebago (that he lives out of and records his podcast in), his phone, and a bag of magic mushrooms that is nearly gone.
