suzie is sprawled out on her back by the lodge’s fireplace, colorful hair
splayed out around her, a slow blink... blink... blink--she was probably
a little tipsy, if the few scattered beer bottles said anything, anyway. 🏃♀️
she quietly muses, mostly to herself, “ i wanna make a big mistake... “ 🏃♀️
“ you don’t have to go, you know! we can hang out, and stuff. think of it like a slumber party. we could, um... paint each other’s nails? listen to some music? “ maybe it was a silly idea, but a sense of normalcy was something she craved. 🏃♀️
sprawled out on a old mattress in the lodge, suzie can’t help but muse, tired
eyes kept focused on the ceiling, “ and, as i laid there helplessly, a million
different thoughts came to me. i saw my parents hearing the news, ‘your
only daughter disappeared today', i thought about what they might say... “ 🏃♀️
a soft breath, hissed through braced teeth, she sits crouched on her
haunches. her hoodie, and shaking hands still splattered with blood,
her makeshift mask pushed up, a cigarette hangs from a frown. 🏃♀️
she always hated these types of trials, the ones where the entity was basically breathing down her neck. the ones where she couldn't do anything but fearfully comply. but there was a quiet moment, where the entity's gaze seems to else where, if only for a second. muffled music, blown smoke, and so she speaks. 🏃♀️
" ...hey, listen. do you want one of these? i know they're like, terrible
for you and all, but, uh. you look like you need one right about now. "
she shows the cigarette pack, decorated with little, cheap stickers. 🏃♀️
i’m gonna just uhhhhh drop some quick random hcs i have that aren’t
really long enough or important enough for their own post ????? yeah
>suzie’s into street art/tagging/graffiti, and art in general. her art would look similar
to something like this, this, and this! just like, really bright and colorful, and chaotic!
>she wanted to go to an art/design college, and wanted to be a tattoo artist. was also the one who made/modified her + the rest of legion’s masks! and made the friendship bracelets referenced in an add-on, who else wants one, huh? <3
>jock nerd personified, there's a reason she's pretty speedy even w/o
her entity-given abilities. she used to be on a track team for all of middle
school/her first year of highschool, before she eventually switched to vo
-lleyball team (she was actually a wing spiker/right side hitter, funfact!)
>would literally live in rollerskates if s/b let her, her and jules
used to go skating at a roller rink in town all the time as kids,
and tbh. probs still do sometimes 4 old times sake, its cute
>also semi-related: can skateboard! …kinda, she’s better at rollerskating but,
she tries? she just wants 2 be a cool skater kid like u see in the movies ok!!!
>has some basic parkour ability due to the shit she gets up
with the rest of legion, and bc of her tagging and street art!
>rlly liked video games, carried a game boy on her person most the
time and often hung around the arcade in town, saved up money from
babysitting jobs to buy a super nintendo! collected comic books, had
a big ass box of them that she kept under her bed……………..……..
>suzie is the definition of that one rlly nice girl at a party that u meet in the
bathroom who like. holds ur hair while u puke even tho shes known u like
20 seconds, or is like ur new bff for the next couple hours bc she heard you
crying and is like ok were gonna cheer you up c’mon lets go dance (or you
can vent if you want!) and loudly compliments ur dress/shoes/etc etc
>also def the ‘feel how soft my sweater is!‘, ‘my lotion smells rlly good
do you want some ???‘ and ‘i have snacks do u want some!‘ girl tbh??
>tl;dr u kno that tweet thats like ‘i have one foot in the darkness and
the other in a hello kitty rollar skate‘ yeah thats literally just. suzie
>dyed/bleached her own hair (with the help of julie and joey), as
well as her first couple piercings herself, namely her earlobes as
well as her septum. julie probs has a half blurry polaroid somewhere
of joey helping suzie w/ her septum and them both freaking out a bit
>thankfully suz had the common sense to get the rest of them done
professionally tho, ie. her upper ear/cartilage piercings in particular!
>the nicknames suzie has for the other legion members are 10/10 tbh!–
>frank : frankie, frankenstein! julie : jules, julierulie! joey : joebear, jojo!
>and plenty more, but those are her faves, and she is absolutely not sorry
suzie vc: just bc ur HARDCORE doesn’t mean ‘too cool’ for FUN NICKNAMES!!!
>she spells her name ‘suzie‘ instead of ‘susie‘ bc she thinks the ‘z’
makes it cool. she dots her i’s with smiley faces 4 the same reason!
>literally incapable of not making a silly face in pictures, don’t @ her
>big movie buff, worked at a crappy movie theater in town for awhile mostly just as an excuse 2 watch them. had a deep love for horror movies in particular, and was deeply fascinated special/practical effects and prop and set work in general! had a handful of cool collectibles and replicas, VHS boxes, etc etc. usually bought secondhand from someone in the neighborhood, or gifted by a family member.
/>one time, she tried her hand at sfx makeup, having some old unused stuff
from halloween the year prior. managed to scare the crap out of one of her
teachers with a severed hand prop and lots of fake blood from a very make
shift tubing rig running down her sleeve! (she got suspended for a few days
had lots detention 2 sit through afterwards, but she was just like. ‘worth it!’)
>the lavoie’s weren’t. exactly one the more well-off families in ormond, so suzie was s/b that got a lot of hand-me-downs and thrifted clothes growing up. she never particularly minded them, honestly, but. since she learnt some basics @ sewing/clothing repair from her mom as a kid, she eventually applied that knowledge to begin modifying and altering her clothing in varying ways, as
well! (cutting, hemming, painting, coloring, putting on patches and switching
out buttons, etc etc!) all the bright colors, clashing patterns might be kinda headache-inducing, (she’ll admit that herself), but! it makes her happy.
>she’s had a smoking habit since around she was around fifteen,
and it’s not something shes particularly proud of, tbh. it’s s/t she
considers an actual ~vice~, she drinks and she parties, sure. but,
her smoking is less socially or for fun and more a misguided attempt
at deal w/ the stress in her life. her parents, school, the future, etc etc.
>one time, when her and julie were like. twelve, there was a boy that was always bullying and picking on jules, (bc y'kno, middle school is Like That). he’d done it for years, starting in elementary school, but no one rlly did anything abt it, instead writing it off w/ the usual ‘boys will be boys’ type nonsense bc it was easier 4 them. but, one time the kid went a lil too far with his teasing/pulled her hair a lil too hard, and it made jules cry, and! well. soft-spoken, baby-faced, doe-eyed lil susie, was Absolutely Not Having That, so.
>tl;dr, she punched the kid in the nose and got into her first (and rlly only) 'big fight’ @ school! she got pretty roughed up by the boy + his friends, but. hey, they’ve left jules alone ever since, so. she still considers it a win, and still stands by it/is proud of it to this day. jules probs has a old worn-out polaroid hidden somewhere of suzs’ sitting in the nurses office waiting room after it all went down, all scratched and bruised and missing one of her front top two teeth, but beaming from ear to ear/giving 2 big thumbs up.
>suzie’s family had a senior-aged pitbull that was a Literal Angel who
could do no wrong. she was a rescue, her name was princess and
was just babie, basically! the unofficial group mascot, gib her pets
>she has a stick n’ poke tattoo on the inside of her wrist
she did herself, it’s a simple little smiley face! the other
legion members all have matching ones, of course.
>funfact, at some point before the fog, suzie had a boyfriend! his name was
'noah anderson', he was one of frank's buddies, in fact. for the first month or
two of their relationship, everything seemed great, suzie was elated. her
first ever boyfriend… another secret kept from her parents, of course.
but, things quickly began to devolve from there, it came to a
head one night when at a party, they had a drunk argument, and
he slapped suzie. the other's quickly caught word of it, frank and
joey kicked his ass, threw him out, while julie comforted her.
they broke up the next day, obviously, but. this is one of many
incidents that solidified her bond with the rest of the legion.
they would always have each other's backs, after all.
>a very important funfact abt suzie: the shoes she wears, are in fact, heelys.
and she def uses ‘em in the indoor maps, like lery’s or the meat plant, okay.
>thinking abt giving suzie a sibling! perhaps an older brother? probably
fresh out of college, moved out a few years back. he’s a good guy, a
nurse, really outgoing, really friendly, but suzie gets compared to him
constantly. ‘why can’t you be more like him?’, and she can’t help but
feel a little bitter about it, y’know? i think i’ll call him ‘andrew’ or ‘andy’.
>suzie has a little pile of things survivors have given her in trials,
usually as a quiet sort of thank you for her mercy, or an general
attempt at distant friendliness. toolboxes, flashlights, medkits,
random charms and trinkets, etc, they decorate her shelves.
>i’ve talked abt her parents, her older brother, now i wanna talk about
another family member(tm): her grandmother, on her dad's side.
she was an extremely frail-looking woman, but was very strict,
deeply religious, and wielded a heavy hand. suzie's dad knew this
far too well, meaning she was always a looming threat--'act up again,
and we'll send you to your grandmother's. she'll straighten you out.'
the summer after she turned thirteen, they actually went through with it,
upending suzie from ormond, and sent her out to the country side home
no phone. when suzie was finally allowed home, not all of her came back.
>silly thought i had: suzie is a fan of the occult, plus horror in general, so her + julie used to play around with urban legends constantly, ie bloody mary, the midnight game, etc. they also tried to summon a demon at a sleepover once, suzie got the instructions off a computer at the school library, actually. it, uh. didn’t work, obvs.
>y’know, i’ve been thinking of little ways legion may of changed physically in the entity’s realm, no longer being quite human, and all. nothing big, of course, but.one example: the legion have blacked out/blank eyes! suzie doesn’t like them, being a reminder of her fading humanity, so she doesn’t show them off often.
another tidbit i’ve decided, after talking to the gf: their veins, especially around their wrists and neck are darker, and a lot more… visible then they really should be.
>thinking abt how like, in the realm suzie’s relationship w/ frank in particular is. strained, she doesn’t blame him for their situation entirely, as they did all partake, but. he certainly was still the catalyst, and she can’t help but be a little bit bitter.
during trials suzie is definitely the most merciful out of the legion members.
the role of ‘killer’ isn’t something that naturally fits her. and she doesn’t want
it to fit, either. especially after the incident that got them here in the first place.
shes unable to directly help survivors, of course, because if she did
she’d likely face the wrath of the entity, or worse, the rest of legion will
have to face it too. she can’t let that happen. but, that isn’t enough to stop
her from trying entirely, of course. shy and naive as she may possibly be,
she’s also pretty stubborn! so, she tries to sneak it under the entity’s radar.
so, in trials she’ll do things such as…
>purposefully loses survivors in chases, usually in the cornfields or other high grassy areas, places you’d usually see someone accidentally lose a survivor, tldr!
>brings shrouds of separation purposefully knowing that’s a fairly useless thing, and if anything works against her + her power, but feigns ignorance about that fact!
>brings a cypress mori bc since the kill is supposed to be hers, the entity’s gaze
is elsewhere, and she can just take them to the hatch without getting in trouble!
>trying to guide/herd a survivor towards the hatch in a chase so they can escape!
i later expanded on this thought in the tags on my og blog
i’ve since deleted, however i still have a screenshot, so while
it’s a little more jumbled then the above, it’s related to it, sooo!
suzie grew up with completely overbearing parents, suzie’s entire life
was planned out for her before she was even born, and the bar of being
good enough was something that they always held just out of her reach,
whatever she did, whatever she did accomplish, high grades, 4.0 gpa,
honor roll, perfect attendance, was another ‘okay, i guess. but,–’ and
’oh, the neighbor’s kid did better! why can’t you be more like them?’.
suzie felt suffocated, trapped, looking for any release from the stress of
her current life, especially as the years crawled by towards graduation.
near the end of her freshman year she tagged along to her first high school party
with a classmate/childhood friend of hers, julie. that’s when she was introduced
to joey, who would come to be a close friend. eventually, some time down the
line, frank as well. her grades fell from straight A’s to C’s and occasionally B-’s,
perfect attendance no more, and spotless student record no longer so spotless.
this was only the start of her descend into her life of ‘teenaged rebellion’,
and she soon found who she thought of as a family within what they came
to call ‘the legion’. and with them, for the first time in a long time, suzie was
happy. she found the mask she and the others bore a comfort, an escape, breaking out from her shell, wild and bright underneath. it was a time to
pretend to be someone else. someone who didn’t have a constant stress
pulling her down, who didn’t have to care about ‘this’ and ‘that’ all the time.
the incident that lead the legion to be taken by the fog isn’t exactly something
suzie looks back on with fond memories. the opposite, really. she was so honestly deeply truly terrified, so sure that she was going to wake up any second and
it’d all be a bad dream. frozen in place due to the overwhelming sense of
dread, shaking and teary eyed as frank took her hands in his, plunging
the knife into that… creeps throat, since she unable to do it herself.
but even then, even in that moment, even when scared out of her mind, she
wouldn’t of even dreamed about leaving them behind, because they were
her best friends, and she loved them. so really, following them to the end
wasn’t even a choice in her mind. she had told them she’d be there for
them no matter what, it wasn’t something she planned to go back on.
even if she cried the whole drive up to the mountain, even with the anger and
fear that boiled inside her… they were in this together, they always have been.
thinking abt. how to make the blood-web/cosmetics actually lore and
blog friendly, mostly just 4 funsies. yall don’t gotta go along with this,
ofc, especially since i doubt it’d ever rlly come up in threads anyway,
but. i thought the ideas were kinda cool nonetheless, so. uhhh, here!
>the ‘blood-web’, is a small stone shrine, found within the woodsy area
outside the campfire. decorated by lots of inextinguishable candles, over
grown foliage, and a engraved web-esque pattern as an offering place.
>here, survivors can offer up either scavenged items (luck offerings, realm
offerings, reagents, blueprints, oaks, etc etc), which will effect their next trial.
>or, they can give up their own blood in exchange for items, (toolboxes,
med-kits, flashlights, maps, keys, etc etc), each item has a different set
minimum, but. generally, the more blood, the better/more rare it is, tho.
>killers have a similar system, though instead of being their own
blood, it’s how much they’ve shed within the trials. allowing them
add-ons relating to their ability, or general items w/ varying effects.
>plus, bc of their direct connection 2 the entity, no shrine is needed.
>as for cosmetics, its. not a literal store-type deal, ofc, instead:
survivors occasionally get 'gifts’ of sorts from the entity, ie. items
personal/important to them specifically, a family photo, something
passed down from a loved one, certain pieces of clothing, etc etc.
>anything that’d make them think of home, that’d keep them
holding out hope for just a little longer, relight their fire, etc etc.
>killers aren’t free from this either, of course, it’s said that
the entity feeds on hope. it being taken directly from survivors
with each death isn’t the only way it gets it’s fix, y’know.
