Open I'm Asking For A Friend

Lucky

But We Were Happy
Sometimes life throws you a curve ball, but sometimes the mess are of our own design. That is the circumstance you find yourself in. One of the many people who had attended a horror themed party where a member of your college promised to debunk the legend surrounding a supernatural book he got for a penny. It turned out that not only the book hated it when it came to criticisms, it was also cursed. May you be a friend, a normal party goer who happened to get caught in this mess, a high school student who snuck in/ was invited by a sibling or one of the numerous supervisors, you know find yourself in a horror book.... that is bent on killing on you.

Unlike traditional horror RP, this will be a bit of a parody of horror tropes. It will also have some Until Dawn vibes as it will be heavily influenced by the choices your characters make. Your character can die, but don't worry, there is still a chance you can be brought back at some back. As for rules, this RP will be following traditional STC rules. Only additional rules is that the characters will be aged from 13 to 40 in base form. ( For the sake of the RP, everyone be default set to their twenties in the horror setting OR take the form of a canon horror character). Only additional note is that the killer trope will be taken by myself.

View attachment 5585
Personality:
Hailie (Hals) is loyal to a fault. When her best friend Michael was sick, Hailie went out and bought 15 different bags of cough drops (granting her the nickname Hals). She has been deaf since birth and works hard to not let it limit her. She fights to be independent and hates things being done for her (even people opening the door for her makes her feel uncomfortable). Her love of animation has also deemed her to be a kid at heart.
Horror Archetype your character was assigned by the book:
The Nerd
Abilities/Skills they naturally know:
Sign Language, Lip Reading, Sharp Eyesight, Art/Animation, Determined
Abilities/skills they learned due to the trope they embody:
Talking, Hearing, Knowledge of Physics, and Extra Wit
History/Background: Hailie is an only child with a single mother. Her father is not around. Her mother works at a movie theater, where she ended up becoming the manager. They have always taken care of each other (as Hailie states, like the Gilmore Girls, but much cooler). With her mother working at the theater, Hailie has managed to never pay to see a movie. It grew into her passion, and movies have helped her survive. She has survived public school, being bullied, learning two languages, and high school. Wall-e is her favorite because she loves how it told the story with little dialogue. She's also a fan of silent movies as well (if her mother made a special night screening of silent and classic movies just for her no one said a word). Though she hates horror movies since many horror movies use sound to set the atmosphere. She dreams of becoming an animator and creating a full-length feature film with a deaf hero. Currently, she is studying to get her Bachelor's of Art. She has two best friends, Michael Simmons and Sharon McCloud. Sharon took (kidnapped) Hals to a party to meet her boyfriend.

History/Background: Sharon McCloud grew up lavishly. With her mother as a successful model and her father as a successful talent manager, it was a privileged life, full of drama. Cheating on your wife with your client, then divorcing your wife and marrying said client would follow a family forever. Sharon heard the screaming matches, the accusations, seen the piranhas with flashing lights. It was a messy business. But there was one good thing, her step-brother Dante. He was much older, nerdier, and more down to earth than her. Most importantly, he always said she was the fairest of all. It helped anchor her through the drama. Then Dante got married and left when Sharon was in highschool. For once, someone told Sharon no. Then she met Hailie. Well, she saved Hailie from some idiots that were harassing her. The little nerd was just like her brother, studious, independent, and loyal. Hailie became Sharon's new anchor. Then Hailie became an insider look on life outside the lavish and drama, real life. Sharon decided that she would help Hailie succeed, as her personal fashion guru and social manager. So yes, she kidnapped the girl to come to a party and get a boy-toy of her own, but as her social manager, that is her sacred duty!

Now he's just a distant husk of a human, with no life and no love.

Appearance within the curse: (As we know, nobody is allowed to look normal in horror, you are either abnormal or Hollywood perfection):
beef67ea76a172797a1772a582e974d1.jpg


Personality: Tamira is a woman of few words, or more specifically she's used to being in the background in most social settings. The type that listens as other talk around her yet isn't eager to jump into the conversation too much if she doesn't know someone well enough. She'll joke and laugh easily with family and friends, but is also fine on her own in a quiet space where she can relax.

Once she gets started talking about whatever thing she's currently into with her family it's hard to get her to stop before she runs out of things to say about it. Her and her little brother often bond and gush over a few things where as Tamira and her sister are occasionally petty towards each other and certain things they like.

Horror Archetype your character was assigned by the book: The Resourceful Heroine

Abilities/Skills they naturally know: How to use a switchblade(learned from good old dad, but is a bit rusty), how to cook basic dishes, listening, being quiet and sneaky, how to blend in/go unnoticed.

Abilities/skills they learned due to the trope they embody: How to handle a gun, how to use the objects around them as a weapon (crowbars, pipes, etc), a few survival skills as well as some basic first aid, how to climb and scale high places, how to ride a motorcycle, handling zombies.

History/Background: Tamira is the middle child of the Reed kids, being two years older than her brother, and three younger than her sister. Tamira's family was close, but Diana and her could never get along as well as Will and her could. Both sisters fought a lot growing up, but they always made up after petty squabbles.

Family: Cleopatra Reed (Mother), Fred Reed (Father), Diana McCarthy (Sister), William "Will" Reed (Brother)

Horror knowledge your character had before hand (Optional): Not much, horror was more William's thing, but she listened when he'd rant about horror related stuff and some of it stuck.

Extra: Despite considering herself a casual gamer compared to her brother she's a big fan of the walking dead videogame so far, but hasn't had the chance to finish it. It's the one horror game her brother tried to get her into that she's interested in finishing.

aa9222616b53a249550a712d9bd57632.jpg

(Face Claim: CalebCity)

Personality: William is a young man who enjoys a range of genres and topics. He enjoys listening and talking to Tamira about their interests and hobbies. He plays games for fun, and sometimes finds it relaxing. He doesn't like being treated like a baby, and is chill compared to his sisters most of the time. He's a bit of a sucker for praise and attention, but won't let it get to his head.

Horror Archetype your character was assigned by the book: The Nerd

Abilities/Skills they naturally know: basic cooking, how to use a switchable, how to climb trees and find footholds in walls, very basic survival skills, how to use cat litter to start a fire

Abilities/skills they learned due to the trope they embody: higher intellect, common sense when it comes to what you usually shouldn't do in weird situations, not to go into creepy basements,

History/Background: William is the youngest child of the Reeds. He had a nice relationship with both sisters, but never liked being treated like a baby from his oldest sister, Diana. He also didn't like when the two fought when they were growing up, as it seemed that his parents focused more on his sisters in that moment than him. The feeling never lasted long, since Tamira would always brighten his mood with something or another after the girls made up.

Family: Cleopatra Reed (Mother), Fred Reed (Father), Diana McCarthy (Sister), Ed McCarthy (Brotherin-law) Tamira Reed (Sister)

Horror knowledge your character had before hand (Optional): Some basic stuff, while more knowledgeable than Tamira because he has more interest in horror related things he tends to occasionally forget some of it every now and then.

Extra: He's not afraid to throw hands over his sisters and he knows they'd do the same for him. Also, tomatoes break him out
