IN CHARACTER
Full name: Levi Samuel Fletcher
Date of birth: May 23, 1993
How long have they been in Foxcroft:
The people feel and look the same, like they’ve settled here even though they know there’s something more-something better-just beyond where they are. But Levi wasn’t going to settle like everyone else, he knew that there was so much more out there just outside of the town’s limit. The first step in really getting a chance to go out and explore the world was going away for school and leaving the place he had spent his entire life. But just like everyone else that had tried to leave the small eerie town, he was drug back to the miserable place. Just when he thought that he had finally done the impossible and escaped the town, he was brought right back to reality. Even though he has spent a majority of his life living in Foxcroft, he knew that his current situation was only temporary. He’s going to do it one day. He’s going to get out.
Sexuality:
It only seemed natural to Levi when he realized that he wasn’t only attracted to girls but also boys too. He didn’t understand why some people got so worked up over the fact that he identifies as bisexual. No one is surprised when he tells them that he is biracial, so why should they be surprised that he is bisexual? In his eyes, it shouldn’t matter to anyone else who he’s interested in or not, its not like they’re going to be with the person. Levi still isn’t sure whether or not he’s just bisexual or if he’s more pansexual but he’s not really sure if he needs to know exactly what he is right now anyways.

How do you interpret this character’s personality? How will you portray them? Include two weaknesses and two strengths. (2+ paragraphs)
I wish there was a simple way to describe Levi’s personality. He is such a complex character and he could easily be written in a few different ways and they would all fit. In my eyes, Levi at one point in time was the boy next door. Nice boy, good morals, polite, basically everything that you would want your child to be. At first, he was very humble because he knew there was nothing guaranteed in life, things could be taken away from you at any given moment and it didn’t matter whether or not you thought it was fair. He was used to having so little in life due to his family financial status that he learned how to be compassionate with others and how to get creative with the little amount of things that they did have. Levi’s love for the world around him caused him to want to know everything about it. His curiosity would lead him to not only question everything and anything around him but he would never take no for an answer. He would do whatever it took until he was satisfied with the answers that he had. I feel like younger Levi was so full of hope and optimism and was really confident with himself that people couldn’t help but want to be around him, they wanted him to go out and succeed just as much as he wanted to himself.
As Levi had grown up and went away to college, not much has change. If anything, maybe leaving Foxcroft had enhanced some of these traits of his. I feel like in his older years, Levi still carries all of these things, but now everything in more extreme. Before, he was hard working and was dead set on getting the answers that he wanted. But now that passionate he has inside of him causes him to sometimes forget what the big picture really is. Sometimes he gets too wrapped up in his own head to remember that everything has a purpose and he needs to remember that. But he’s such a perfectionist when it comes to his future that he will do whatever it takes to make sure he ends up where he wants to be, even if that means doing some questionable things. Levi sometimes forgets that not everything has to be about his future, it’s alright to live in the present every once in awhile. But more importantly, I think sometimes Levi gets so set on making sure that everything is perfect for his future that he sometimes forgets who he is as a person.
How did this character react to the death of Hazel Abrams? Adam Foxcroft? (1+ paragraphs)
The death of Hazel Abrams was unexpected in many ways. No one every expected such a horrific thing to ever happen within the town limits of Foxcroft yet at the same time it didn’t feel entirely out of place. Levi was sitting in his small apartment when he got the phone call from his mother telling him just want had happened to the poor girl. There was part of Levi that didn’t want to believe the things that his mother were telling him, he had gave everything up about Foxcroft once he left for school, including its people. But this, the death of someone he knew growing up, was a small reminder that no matter how much he tried to push himself away, there was always something there pulling him back. He couldn’t just pretend to feel nothing when he thought about her death, it just felt wrong in his mind. A few days later and Levi couldn’t stand it anymore, he couldn’t just sit there not knowing what was going on back at home. Looking through various websites, it didn’t take long until he happened to stumble onto the police reports from Hazel’s case. Levi studied it over and over until he knew all of the details like the back of his hand. The more he read about it, the more he wasn’t happy with what he was seeing. It didn’t add up, none of it. But eventually classes took priorities once again and all thoughts about Hazel’s case were easily replaced with something else.
Fast forward a year later and Hazel’s case officially went cold. Levi had just returned home when the news finally broke that there were no leads and her case may never get solved. It seemed like things were starting to feel like they were going back to normal. But then the news hit that there was a dead body found in the swamps yet again and everything was turned upside down once again. Levi found himself running around the small studio, throwing equipment into his bag as he rushed out of the building and into his car, heading straight for the swamps. The death of Adam Foxcroft awoke something in Levi in a sense. It gave him a new hope that maybe things weren’t completely finished for him just yet, that there was more for him than he ever expected. What were the odds that an event such as the death of another Foxcroft member just a year apart from Hazel would occur and the only one there to tell the story would be himself. Levi continued to cover this story live the first couple of weeks, but when things began to wind down, this didn’t stop Levi or his work. Part of him knew that he should feel bad. Adam was someone’s son, he meant something to a lot of people. And part of him was upset over the loss of the boy, but that was easily replaced with the rush he got as he covered his death instead. He knew that this was his story and his story alone. He had been covering it since it had first happened and he was going to make sure that he was the one to tell the ending. The guilt that he had felt when he realized that he was merely using Adam’s death to put himself back on the map, to win over the town people once again, was slowly started to disappear the more he discovered and the closer he got to closing the case.
How do they see the town and its people? Think about the different groups of people and prejudices the town holds about them. (1+ paragraphs)
At first when he was younger, Levi didn’t understand why there were some people who tried so hard to try and get out. From what he knew, the people we kind and everyone knew everyone. But as he grew older, he realized that was exactly why they wanted to get out. It was tiresome having to be stuck in a place that had no good opportunities left for you. Everyone seemed tired and worn out. Like they were in this continuous and nonstop routine. They weren’t really living a life anymore, none of them were. Levi tried to remind himself that he couldn’t blame the people who lived there. It was the small town that took away the life from their eyes, sentencing them to a life time of trying to scrape by. Even though no one wanted to admit it, everyone in Foxcroft had their own issues and problems, some were just better at hiding it than others. And having his own fair share of problems, Levi was never one to judge these people, at least he tried is best not to. After all, he had spent a majority of his life in poverty. There would be some days where they would skip a meal or just have sandwiches for the day. Or the times where all the other kids at school would have new clothes and Levi had to just make do with what he had. He knew that his family couldn’t help their financial and he didn’t blame them for that. But he knew that others looked at him differently for it, that they pity him. He hated that. He didn’t want people to look at him like he was helpless, like he wasn’t capable like the rest of his peers. Even though his mother would sit him down and tell him that life for a boy like him was going to be hard, but he had to be stronger than that and push back. Prove to them he could be everything that they didn’t believe that he could be. But sometimes it was hard not to. He couldn’t understand how they were possibly okay with just sitting there and letting their life slip by, or how they could judge others when they themselves had so much that they could be judged for. So once he decided that he was going to leave this town behind him, he didn’t think twice about it. Sure there were a few people that he’d miss, but the rest of the town didn’t matter to him. It didn’t matter if he never saw them again in his life.
But when the cruel reality hit that he would be coming back to Foxcroft, his view of the people changed. He now knew why these people had looks of defeat on their faces at all time, it was the same reason why now he had shared those similar looks. He no longer pitied these people, if anything they pitied him now and he knew that. If there was anything worse than someone who was stuck in this town for the rest of their life, it was someone who tried to leave but failed. He left this place with people cheering him on, hoping that maybe he’d be the one to actually do it, to actually get it. But now he could see the judgement in their eyes as he walked by. This didn’t cause him to act any differently around them, his still treated them with kindness and politeness but he still knew it was there.
Please include 1-2 possible plots your see for this character (1 paragraph brief explanation for each)
Since covering the events of the death of Adam Foxcroft, Levi knew that there was something more here to the story then what the town was letting onto. There has always been something off about this place, but having two mysterious deaths in the matter of a short period of time in a small town was unheard of. After starting his read show and trying to do how on investigating journalism, Levi realized that maybe he was onto something here, there was something more, something bigger, going on here. Levi couldn’t explain what it was, at least not yet. He knew that his investigation was getting somewhere, he just wasn’t sure exactly where it was leading him. He thought maybe he’d get a big break, write the story the revealed who was behind these strange murders. He wished that’s what had happened. Instead, he found out more than he ever wanted to know, needed to know. He couldn’t explain what he found yet at the same time everything and all the weird things that have been happening in this small town were now starting to make more sense.
For this plot, I think it would be really interesting to see what would happen if Levi actually figured out what was going on. Whether it be just about the the murders or about all the supernatural things going on, we can discuss more about it and see what fits with the plot better. But I think it would be interesting to see what would happen if Levi did find out and either no one believed him and his findings or someone finds out and is not happy that he knows too much and decides to take matters into their own hands and take care of Levi themselves.
Cassidy and Levi were inseparable. Either hardly knew a life without the others. They were always there for each other whether it was to talk about the things going on in their lives or to simply just to accompany one another. They knew the other probably better than they knew themselves. Levi knew since the day he met her that she was something special, that he always wanted her in his life no matter what. She was the only person that he felt like he didn’t have to worry about being someone he’s not around. She was the first person he told that he was accepted into Emerson. He didn’t see it right away, the small features of her face showing the hurt and betrayal of his words. She knew what they meant, that he would finally get the chance to make it out of this small town, and it showed on her face. It wasn’t until after Levi returned from school that he realized just how much he his leavings would really affect her. He couldn’t place his finger on what was different about her when he returned to the familiar place, but as time went on and he spent more time with her both with and without Jack, he was starting to catch on to what was going on. At one point in time, they were close enough that Cassidy would’ve told him that things weren’t good between her and Jack, that she was no longer safe. But Levi soon realized that by going away from college, he put more at risk than just his friendship with the girl. One day, Levi noticed some bruises on her arms. He didn’t think much of it until one day the bruises moved from her arm to her face. That’s when everything clicked for him. That’s when he figured out what was different about her. Even though Cassidy didn’t rely on him as she used to anymore and told him not to worry about it when he pointed it out to her, he wasn’t going to sit back and continue to let this terrible, awful things to happen. No, he might not be the person that Cassidy needs anymore, but he loved her too much to allow this to happen. So he had decided. He was going to take the problem into his own hands. He was going to address Jack.
The dynamic between both Cassidy/ Levi and Cassidy/Jack is something that could easily be turned into a plot. It doesn’t matter that Levi left, Cassidy still meant the world to him. So to hear that someone else would take advantage of her like this is enough for him to no longer stay silent. I think it would be interesting to see what would happen for Levi to not only realize that Cassidy is dealing with abuse from Jack but also to have Levi act on that information. I would love to see Levi confront Jack, to call him out for what he did to Cassidy. Maybe things could escalate into a fight or it could just be a screaming match. Either way, I think this plot could be important to the development of a few characters.

EXTRA
How would you feel about this character dying?: I understand that given the plot it is necessary for certain characters to die or to be taken away. I completely understand and do not mind if this happens to this character (actually encourage it since I live for angst) as long as you let me continue to ramble on about them and possibly pick up a new character.
Why did you choose this character?:
Levi in my mind is so real that it’s terrifying. I feel as if his bio addresses a lot of issues that are currently happening in today’s age and I really love that about him. He feels so familiar to me yet there’s so much I don’t know about him yet and that just makes me want to develop him all the more. Plus who doesn’t love a little optimistic puppy who only wanted to leave and make a better life for himself only to realize that he’s no better than the rest and he’s stuck there just like everyone else?

LEVI FLETCHER / TWENTY-THREE
↳ LORE
You were supposed to leave this town. No one leaves, but you were supposed to get out. People looked at you and saw a ray of hope, a chance at an opening. If he could get out, maybe they all could finally escape. But somehow, four years later you stumbled back into town and now you won’t look anyone in the eye. You’re a joke, a failure, everything you tried so hard to not be and now you’re stuck living in a constant loop just like everyone else.
LEVI FLETCHER IS HUMAN.
↳ HISTORY
Some say he’s the brightest mind that Foxcroft has ever seen. People looked at Levi and saw someone who was going to get out, who was going to leave the town behind once and for all. He saw himself just the same, but for different reasons. Levi’s parents were your everyday people; they had ups and downs and were dependent on their nine-to-fives to keep food on the table. Levi’s father once told him that he could tell how well they were doing financially by looking at the kind of toilet paper they bought, and as he got older he noticed that it was far more often they had one-ply than two-ply. He was taught the value of hard work and of learning and took everything in like a sponge. No one was surprised when Levi announced he was leaving Foxcroft for college. Few people did, but if anyone was going to it was Levi. He left the town that thought him a genius to be among all the other geniuses from all the other towns, and it was then that Levi fell into the background.
He worked hard, did his best, but when everyone is as smart as you are, sometimes your best doesn’t cut it. Always a talented writer, Levi went to school for journalism. After he’d graduated Levi tried to get a job anywhere that would take him, but was unlucky in his search. Eventually his financial stopped coming and his retail job wasn’t enough to keep him afloat and Levi had to move back to Foxcroft. In Foxcroft he was king, but now people looked at him as if he’d lost his crown. He was no longer the boy who left, but instead the boy who tried. He wasn’t a beacon of hope, but a reminder that none of them were ever getting out of this town. It was difficult, but still somehow Levi had hope. He just had to build his resume, and so Levi used what little money he had left to start up his own radio show at the local radio station. It aired at 1 a.m. and had few viewers, but to Levi the Moonlight Show was all he had. He talked about the news and did his own investigative reporting, but to many people Levi’s show was all conspiracy talk. The height of his show came with the death of Adam Foxcroft.
They found his body late at night, too late for any of the local news stations or early morning radio shows to get the story before he did. As sirens blared down Sweetwater Road people turned on their radios and heard Levi Fletcher’s voice reporting it all. Neil Monroe’s disappearance and resurfacing changed things for Levi. He had a story to uncover, one that could change his life forever. The deeper he’s gotten the more suspicious things he’s found and it seems like his dreams are leading him closer and closer to the truth -- or something even more dangerous.
