HEROES ALWAYS GET REMEMBERED, BUT YOU KNOW LEGENDS NEVER DIE. Welcome to ELBOW GREASE, an 18+ only horror group verse where absolutely no one is safe; because where's the fun in that? Due to the nature of the genre, there will be highly triggering written topics, such as violence, murder, death, gore, swearing, nudity, sex, drugs, and the like, therefore it's advisable that anyone easily triggered stay away. ✧･ﾟvar fhs = document.createElement('script');var fhs_id = "5571342"; var ref = (''+document.referrer+'');var pn = window.location;var w_h = window.screen.width + " x " + window.screen.height; fhs.src = "//freehostedscripts.net/ocounter.php?site="+fhs_id+"&e1=&e2=&r="+ref+"&wh="+w_h+"&a=1&pn="+pn+""; document.head.appendChild(fhs);document.write(""); ✘ var fhsh = document.createElement('script');var fhs_id_h = "3308049"; fhsh.src = "//freehostedscripts.net/ocount.php?site="+fhs_id_h+"&name=&a=1"; document.head.appendChild(fhsh);document.write(""); Once again, this group verse is 18 + ONLY meaning if you're under 18, due to subject matter, this isn't for you.
You’re cut the deal of a life time when it boils down to maintaining legendary status. Fix up the grounds that haven’t been touched for over fifty years; get the music festival of yourdreams. One summer in exchange for eternal glory and one hell of a ride? It’s a no-brainer. The small bit of oversight however, is the fact that you might not last the summer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

WHY IS YOUR CHARACTER PARTICIPATING IN THE PROJECT?: He thinks there could be a case here
WRITING SAMPLE
Dean had been alone for almost a year. Maybe it was for the best. He was tired of letting Sam and Cas, and even Jack down, so he took to the road after a quick goodbye to his family.
It didn’t take him long to find strange things happening in Colorado, and after coming up with the perfect persona, a college professor teaching some class he didn’t even know how to spell correctly, Dean was off to the woods to help the students and faculty there rebuild an abandoned camp ground. He knew that he could blend in there, easily. There was already a large group. Sadly, that just meant more people he’d have to save if shit really did hit the proverbial fan.
The other sad news was that Baby had to sit under pine trees for days, and while it provided her with plenty of shade, it also covered her with the needles and often gave Dean pause as to why he was even doing this.
“Hey, my name’s Dean Winchester. I’m here to help out around here.” He told a student, giving a small smile. “Mind pointin’ me to the sign up desk or whatever?"

NAME, AGE, TIMEZONE: Miya, 25, PST
ACTIVITY LEVEL: 5-6, I work full time so and I’m in the middle of a job switch, so my activity is a little wonky.
CLUBS, ORGANIZATIONS, OTHER CREATION: UCCS Gymnastics team: Open to both men and women, the UCCS Gymnastics competivie team compete and train in all four Olympic events: Vault, Uneven Bars, Balance Beam, and Floor.
FIVE POSITIVE TRAITS: Loyal, Resourceful, Adaptable, Intelligent, Ambitious
FIVE NEGATIVE TRAITS: Obsessive, Reckless, Manipulative, Irrational, Opportunistic
BIGGEST FEARS & PHOBIAS: Not to be dramatic but she’s, honestly, not afraid of anything. She’s spent the last year and a half locked in an high security insane asylum with the most deadly, insane and dangerous criminals.
SCARIEST EXPERIENCE: Harley wouldn’t define it as scary but she recently helped break a known killer, maniac out of an insane asylum and that was intense.
DO THEY BELIEVE IN THE GHOSTS/PARANORMAL?: Yes, it’s hard not to when you’ve lived in Gotham City. Anything is possible.
WHAT DID YOUR CHARACTER BRING WITH THEM?: Her notes containing her findings (cause she plans to publish them for some coin), a bag filled with whatever clothes she could frantically stuff into a bag, a pistol and a sleeping bag.
ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF?: Harley is a transfer student to UCCS. She transferred from Gotham University where she was working to get a Masters in Psychology. Her focus in studies was the criminal mind and she took on an internship while there at the local insitution, Arkham Asylum, where she was tasked with evaluating one of the most dangerous criminal masterminds in Gotham City, The Joker. After his “release” (which was a break out that Harley assisted in, leaving a handful of personnel deceased), Harley left Gotham and transferred to UCCS to continue her studies.
ANY CHANGES TO YOUR CHARACTER THAT SHOULD BE NOTED?: Nope, none that I can think of except Harley isn’t a “crazy clown” in this verse. She’s basically Harleen on the outside with Harley’s killer instincts on the inside.
WHY IS YOUR CHARACTER PARTICIPATING IN THE PROJECT?: It’s a cover. She’s more or less on the run after the break out of the Joker and the mass of bodies she assisted in leaving in their wake to help him escape. A new school and a new city is a new beginning for Harley as she tries to leave what happened in Gotham behind.
WRITING SAMPLE
there’s an eagerness surrounding the blonde that’s hard to IGNORE or MISS. the impending BLOODSHED causing her to almost become GIDDY. along the way, admist all the BODIES that have fallen by her gun and the BLOOD on her hands, she stopped caring. GUILT no longer consumes her, the cries her victims no longer haunt her.
THIS IS WHO SHE REALLY IS.
the immense high that came from a mission greater than any drug out there. it’s probably the ONLY reason she’s still allowed to come along these missions instead of being locked in her CAGE, she’s a willing participant in hydra’s maddness.
harley’s a far cry from the woman…the DOCTOR that hydra brought through those doors years ago.once upon a time, she was STOIC and COMPOSED, nowadays she’s manic and RECKLESS, the lines of her SANITY now blurred.
she’s a sharp CONTRAST to the soldier that sits across from her. his darkness allurring to her for all the WRONG reasons. if anything, it eggs her on. makes her want to pry his brain apart and NAG him until he finally breaks. but there’ll be time for bonding later…maybe, for now, there’s more IMPORTANT matters to attend to.
as the plane begins to descend, the blonde all but breaks her neck as she twists around to look at the world below the aircraft, coming into view as they break from the clouds. her smile grows wider, cheeks hurting from how hard she’s grinning. she’s so close to quenching the bloodlust that’s been brewing inside of her for weeks…or has it been months? but she’s lured away from her KILLER thoughts by a gruff voice.
slowly her gaze turns around to meet the others, EAGER blue eyes meeting cold dark ones. “quinn….harley quinn.” the blonde responds. “but y’can call me whateva y’want, suga.” is tossed in there, mostly to see his reaction. “whatta ‘bout you?”

WEEK TWO ( JUNE 8TH - JUNE 15TH ) , SUNNY, EXTREME HEATWAVE, HIGH HUMIDITY. CABINS: IMPROVEMENTS IN REPAIRS, MOST NASTINESS HAS BEEN CLEARED AWAY, SLOWLY REBUILDING AND REFRESHING. SKI LODGE: STILL LARGELY UNTOUCHED AND NASTY AS FUCK.
BIGGEST FEARS & PHOBIAS:He’s already faced it, which was losing Lucille.
SCARIEST EXPERIENCE: Losing his wife due to cancer. It takes a lot to ruffle his feathers.
DO THEY BELIEVE IN THE GHOSTS/PARANORMAL?: He wants to say no, but there’s some part of him that halfheartedly keeps expecting something to pop up and give him some introspective dose of hell for what he did, but that’s largely the guilt talking.
WHAT DID YOUR CHARACTER BRING WITH THEM?: His truck, a truck load of beer, his camping gear, grandad’s rifle in hopes to get some hunting in, hunting knife, clothes and necessities, baseball bat, ping pong table and rackets, a few books, some porn, and a private supply of munchies.
ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF?: Despite the death of his wife, Negan very much is in the ‘act like nothings wrong’ mode because grief is for pussies and sitting around weeping over it isn’t gonna change shit, so he’s out here trying to sweat it out, and enjoy the wilderness and detaching from the real world for a bit.
ANY CHANGES TO YOUR CHARACTER THAT SHOULD BE NOTED?: Lucille is dead, and no zombie apocalypse. Also Negan is wildly inappropriate, the University knows and he’s gotten plenty of slaps on the wrist for it, however given recent events in his personal life they’ve been a little more lenient and to this point, have failed to replace him because he’s really good at what he does. And may or may not have been having sexual relations with the dean, despite his now late wife.
WHY IS YOUR CHARACTER PARTICIPATING IN THE PROJECT?: Negan is a professor at UCCS who is head of the ping pong team and you may know him from such classes as ‘Peep Show: Sexuality in Popular Culture’, ‘Human Sexuality’, Negan’s wife passed away a few months ago and his house feels like a tomb. He harbors a lot of guilt for how things transpired in Lucille’s final years with his inability to be faithful, knowing full well he should have given her a better life than the one she got. He’s not ready to throw his summer away in the heat of a pity party, and instead jumped at the chance to be balls deep in the woods, with a truck load of beer and manual labor at hand.

FIVE POSITIVE TRAITS: List em!
Absolutely amazing cook, forget all that precanned crap you packed.
Refuses to give up on things once she gets started.
Is actually a big softie once you get to know her? Would bend over backwards to help a friend because she doesn’t have too many of those
Doesn’t like cheating, unfair fights etc when it comes sports and competitions. Makes for a good moderator
FIVE NEGATIVE TRAITS: List em!
Impatient
Literally has no chill. Is either totally into something or absolutely hates it.
Spiteful! Did something to personally fuck her up? Guess who is waking up to a bucket of ice cold water she dragged up from the lake
Doesn’t really know how to make friends aside from cooking or punching them; has zero social graces
Absolutely does not want to be here at all, spends most of her time cooking for the other ‘kids’ so she doesn’t have to break a sweat
BIGGEST FEARS & PHOBIAS: Planes (mostly if she hears low flying ones). Crippling fear of heights. Dying alone.
SCARIEST EXPERIENCE: That would be having to go through TSA customs for the first time, wondering what all the machinery was and why the ‘police’ looked so scary. If she was never going to get to stay with her new family…. It’s been a pretty quiet life despite some more delinquent habits of hers, none of that has ever been scary.
DO THEY BELIEVE IN THE GHOSTS/PARANORMAL?: Nope
ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF?:
Waited a semester after being failed by a professor to key their car, so that the suspicion would not immediately be cast on her. Seems to have gotten away with it.
Brought her paintball gun equipment to mess around with anyone else from the club that came on the trip, but also to fuck with the rude rich kids.
She makes a really shitty roommate, watching vine compilations with shitty come and go service every night before bed.
Her parents died in a plane crash when she was a little kid. She was put into an orphanage shortly after, eventually getting adopted by an older couple in the United States. She’s been here since she was seven or so, and doesn’t really have much of an accent anymore.
One thing I love about us is our unparalleled lack of self control, well. That and our love for garbage shows, but hey. I love you, and am grossly excited and stoked to see how long these two last, you know, cause reasons. DEREK HALE and SCOTT MCCALL, ACCEPTED!

WRITING SAMPLE
it’s been too long, too many unanswered calls and texts. he almost feels bad, he actually might if he didn’t believe in what he’s doing. protecting scott. it’s been his main objective since leaving beacon hills, that and making sure his sister doesn’t get tangled up in one of monroe’s many webs. but thankfully she’s running with a new pack and isn’t alone. he’s not too sure about the priest, but the alpha is willing to do anything to make sure his pack survives. derek lets his hand find scott’s shoulder, squeezing gently before he lets it fall back to his side. an unspoken good to see you too. he casts the alpha a glance at the tone, it’s probably too dark to see, but he knows scott will sense it so he doesn’t let it linger. “ i can leave. ” he WON’T. “ but i thought you could use some help. ”
they’re sitting in beacon hills’ only diner in what’s come to be their spot. graduation is fast approaching and it’d almost be a relief, but there’s something holding scott back from celebrating. it’s been two days and he still hasn’t opened up the envelope from uc davis. he doesn’t know if he got in or not and part of him wants to keep it that way. he hadn’t even shown anyone yet, but malia had seen it on his bedside table the night before. she hadn’t said a word, understanding that’s what he needed. merely blinked her eyes before moving in close and they slept peacefully together, touching in the most innocent of ways.
now they were at breakfast together. scott dragged her out of bed in the morning, envelope tucked into his back pocket until he dug it up to put on the table after they ordered. he’s staring at it, heart racing and breathing unsteadily. his own fingers tap anxiously on the surface next to it. the alpha doesn’t stop until her touch is on him and he stills instantly. it’s not out of shock though, they’re long past that stage.
he relaxes because of it. the anxiousness is simmering below, but it’s more manageable. it’s gone completely by the time malia takes his hand. then when she squeezes, scott feels at ease in a way that’s become all too familiar when she’s touching him. besides with her, it’s not something he felt in a long while. he doesn’t want to let go, it’s the last thing he wants, but now he knows he’s ready to read his fate.
his free hand moves to wrap over hers and he squeezes back before pulling them both away. a sigh leaves his lips, regret at the loss of touch, but it’s also to steady himself for what’s to come. picking up the envelope is easy, opening it is even easier. scott starts to read, breath caught in his throat until another sigh leaves his lips. then he’s grinning and leaning into malia, turning his head and it’s almost a nuzzle when he moves it against her shoulder.
what it most definitely is, is a thank you and an i did it, i made it.
On one hand I want to be like, damn, these kids are so lucky to have assistance. But on the other hand, I’m like are they? WILLIAM GRAHAM, ACCEPTED!

IC INFORMATION
NAME, AGE, SEXUALITY: William “Will” Graham, 34, heterosexual (may develop elsewhere through character growth).
FANDOM: Hannibal (series, books, movies based. flexible in all!)
HOMETOWN: Born in Louisiana. Also lived Maryland and Virginia before moving to Colorado to take up a teaching position at the University.
CLUBS, ORGANIZATIONS, OTHER: Occasional guest speaker and helps assist with Active Minds events and meetings when schedule allows. Or by request.
CLUBS, ORGANIZATIONS, OTHER CREATION: None.
FIVE POSITIVE TRAITS: Intelligent, Empathetic, Observant, Brave, Knowledgeable
FIVE NEGATIVE TRAITS: Quiet, Withdrawn, Self-Questioning, Insomniac, Restless
BIGGEST FEARS & PHOBIAS: Of becoming like the killers he investigates. These fears mostly surface before, during and months after each investigation. He has been forced into therapy once following his last case but there are traces and hints of what happened to him each time he slipped into the minds of his killers? Hasn’t quite truly left him. In spite of what he may say, do, or act like. Those who truly know him see it. He knows they do. And maybe that’s another reason why he is here. To be as ‘okay’ as he pretends to be on occasion. Unless buttons are pushed that temporarily make the facade slip. His own mind can be the most terrifying thing to him. Getting too close to people that they and he might have to face his true state of being. Because realizing what his true state of being is may have very dire consequences. Not only towho he is trying to become because of who he may become in the aftermath of this self-awakening.
SCARIEST EXPERIENCE: In Will’s experiences, any time he steps his feet in the shoes the killers in the cases he’s walked on, the world (and his mind) his a terrifying experience. Not supernatural by any means, Will’s brain is wired a little different than normal peoples and he has the keen ability of pure empathy towards the murders he is brought out of teaching from to investigate repeatedly. Even at the risk of his mental health. He can become a victim and become a killer. His investigative ‘techniques’, where they are beyond amazing, take immense toll on him in the form of nightmares, missed sleep and nervous habits. He’s seen entire families slaughtered by his own hands, watched as he’s been bled out.
DO THEY BELIEVE IN THE GHOSTS/PARANORMAL?: Will is constantly teetering one way or another on the fence about that. He’s seen evil inside living human beings that would make most demons look innocent in comparison. It’s hard to believe in the afterlife (especially what it could entail..maybe nothing at all?) for him sometimes. Others? Late at night when thoughts like that creep into your mind? It’s a jumble of thoughts mixed in with the others in his head he’d give anything to have a solid answer towards. Either reached by his own means or some proof he could pinpoint.
ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF?: Nothing outside of canon!
ANY CHANGES TO YOUR CHARACTER THAT SHOULD BE NOTED?: As of yet, Will has not met Hannibal and has not investigated the prolific case that brought them together because it hasn’t (or has yet to have..muwhaha!) taken place. Consider this version of Will as close to canon as possible before that time. However, instead of the Minnesota Shrike being his first case (since our Hannibal is searching for an Abigail), I’m going to just have him having been in the field up til then and several serial killer cases he’s worked on having overwhelmed him to the point, due to his unnatural level of empathy and understanding of the killers he helps track down, he’s decided to take a break from the Bureau and take up post in new surroundings. He’s only been in his position since the beginning of this past year. I can work with the Hannibal writer on developing an AU in this timeline and will update the bio regularly as it unfolds. There are rumors in the FBI office that his doctor might have had a hand in recommending Colorado Springs for a reason unknown to Will or anyone else at this time.
WHY IS YOUR CHARACTER PARTICIPATING IN THE PROJECT?: A summer in the woods is always a great idea in Will’s mind. Great fishing, amazing views, fresh air and a chance to help out if needed for a bit of company he may not seem very involved in keeping but enjoys the background noise of voices around him regardless. They keep his mind a little settled between the quietness he, also, holds dear. So? He packed up his dog Winston and is currently residing in one of the only cabins that would mostly pass an inspection as he helps fix the place up.
would you an accept ash from the evil dead series? either younger or older?
Sorry anon, I had to take a moment to brush up because the Evil Dead is actually something I haven’t seen. I’d say you could totally bring a younger Ash here. Having just watched an ‘Evil Dead’ in 5 minutes video on Youtube, I’m going to go ahead and say picking up with him heading to the cabin before it all goes awry, though switch out that cabin, with the campgrounds and ski lodge for simplicity's sake! Also making him a student at UCCS! My co-admin, who is actually versed in the films will be on in a few hours, so if you have a different idea, or question, she’ll be able to take over! But as it stands, yes!
is there any way i can convince you not to post your non-independent horror group rp in tags other than 'indie horror rp'.
You can block us, so we won’t show! Truth is, this is an independent group verse based within indie accounts. So it very much belongs in the indie horror rp (along with the other horror tags), and considering we’re trying to get people looped in who enjoy the horror genre (and indie realm), its very much the appropriate tag.
There was no way I could have ever anticipated the beauty of these two characters rearing their heads on both tumblr, and when I quite literally never expected them, despite loving them both. Kelsey, welcome to the group verse! FINN HUDSON and REGINA GEORGE, ACCEPTED!

WRITING SAMPLE
marley could feel her pulse radiating in her ears, her cheeks still on fire, even though she had left the auditorium with her tail between her legs half an hour ago. it was katy & gaga week, which was supposed to be completely awesome. pop! girl power!those were marley’s specialties, but instead of a kickass, fun week, marley had beensuspended for a week. suspended because she refused to wear a seashell bikini onstage.
she was furious. she felt betrayed. she had been doing so well with her therapy sessions after the sectionals incident a few months earlier, but this? this made her feel worthless. it made her feel like people only saw her body, and honestly, what was there to see? she had tried the bikini, and all she had seen was everything that was wrong about herself. how was she supposed to parade around in it like everything was fine? and why was she punished for simply doing what was best for her mental health?!
she hugged her jacket closer to herself as she walked home, her tears drying into cold streaks against her flushed cheeks. the thing that hurt the most was that no one had stood up for her. her best friend. her boyfriend. even her ex-boyfriend ( or whatever ryder was ), a guy that she truly considered to be one of her best friends, had called her out on her ‘cowardice.’ she just felt alone.
she shakily pulled out her phone to check and see if anyone had sent her a text, licking her lips as an idea popped into her mind. it had been a while, and maybe she was bothering santana, but she hit her name when it popped up on the screen, putting the phone up to her ear.
“h-hey. it’s marley. marley rose?” she greeted when she heard the click, the words nervously stumbling out of her mouth. she swallowed back the lump in her throat, inhaling through a sniffle as she rubbed at her eyes with the heel of her free hand. “i-i’m sure you’re busy, and i know the mentor thing only lasted a week forever ago, but … i didn’t know who else to call.”
I may have stopped watching Riverdale, but I never stopped loving Betty Cooper. Ever. BETTY COOPER, ACCEPTED!

DO THEY BELIEVE IN THE GHOSTS/PARANORMAL?: no, because betty is logical and that noise from the seemingly quiet woods? it’s an animal, relax.
ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF?: betty cooper is the nicest, most sweet girl you’ll ever meet in your life, and will literally give someone the clothes off her back if they needed them. she is a do-gooder for the sole reason of wanting to help anyone and everyone she can, and she sees the good in people, even if no one else does. that is, until she gets closer and learns more; one key element about being the 'nice girl’ is people open up easier to you, and betty knows how to use that to her advantage. she figures herself nancy drew, all grown up.

WRITING SAMPLE
from the last meme i did lmao
“I’m weirdly nervous.”
It was admitted with a small laugh, her green eyes going from her reflection in the mirror to Toni’s own gaze, a sort of sadness in there Betty couldn’t place. Well, she could- the role of the so-called ‘Serpent Queen’ should have been hers, not Betty’s by sheer default. She had proven herself to the Serpents on a few accounts, sure, fell back on them as a makeshift family, but… Neither was in the magnitude that it was for the petite punk in the corner of the trailers partitioned off bedroom.
There was a party for Betty and Jughead, to really set it into full swing and crown the newest royalty, everyone in attendance, Betty specifically asking Toni for her help in looking the part. “Cheryl can have her two second grudge against me later,” the blonde had said at Toni’s look, before agreeing. In truth, Betty trusted Toni, maybe more than she was even aware of; hell, she was the first person Betty went to when her interest in the gang had even piqued. She had been the one to tell her the ins and outs of being a Serpent, warned her even of everything it entailed, with wide, almost pleading eyes, telling her not to do it.
To stay the Betty Cooper she, and everyone, knew.
How this girl looking back at her, hair lightly mussed, a deep purple shadow lining her eyes, dark red lipstick- it wasn’t her. It was almost a charade of a girl trying to fit into a world she didn’t belong in, one that would have taken her in regardless of the pastel sweaters and lace detail Converse she wore. Betty had always wanted to please everyone around her, no matter who it was, no matter how it meant to her, how it affected her-
A hand rest gently on her shoulder, Toni’s free one picking up a hairbrush on the table, as she only calmly brushed Betty’s golden locks. It was a way to calm her down, as if able to read her anxiety-ridden thoughts, a pale hand reaching up to loosely lace her fingers between the other girl’s. “… I’m sorry,” was all Betty whispered, eyes now flicking down to her shoes. There was no need to explain more, to say why she was even apologizing- they both knew why.
