Jules sat down at the barstool tugging off her jacket and getting comfortable before ordering a drink from the bartender, she had a rough day and she could really use a drink right now. As she waited she looked over at the person beside her who she realized was someone she wouldn’t mind distressing and drinking with right now, she got her drink and moved down a barstool to sit beside them sighing just a bit “I don’t normally seek out people but, I really had a rough practice Coach really kicked my ass and I just really need to drink with someone I trust so would is be embarrassing if I ask to join you to relax just a bit? If it is I’ll leave you be.”
[ riz ahmed, cis man, thirty-five ] Let’s give a warm welcome to one of Sparkwood’s finest, BORIS SHUSTER !! Before coming here, he once lived on the pages of HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS. Though now they currently spend most of their time as an PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR. If you ask the townsfolk about what they are like, you will hear that they are INTUITIVE but also RIGID. If they had a theme song it would be RUN BOY RUN - WOODKID. Let’s see how their story unravels this time.
boris. possible nicknames: n/a. cis man. demisexual. boris had it a bit rough growing up considering his name was a strange one, but he wore it with pride considering he was named after his dear grandfather — a private investigator who was widely successful but met his end far too soon. because of this, boris always aspired to be just like his grandfather. his parents constantly tried to get him involved in other hobbies to distract him from his path, but none of their efforts ever came to fruition.
boris got his hands on any of his grandfather’s old files, reading them over and over again as if he could continue the man’s work. he excelled in school only because he knew he needed as much knowledge as possible to be able to understand the complexity of the lives around him. he didn’t make many friends and his classmates often wrote him off as strange or distant. but, in his mind, he didn’t have time for others to distract him — he wanted to start working as soon as possible to help others.
once he graduated, he entered training for police. he knew he needed policing knowledge to do what he needed to do. he passed through the training easily enough, declining offers of work as soon as he graduated the program. connecting to his grandfather’s old friends and colleagues, boris finally entered the game of private investigations. he helped families solve murders and find lost relatives, uncovered schemes and discovered hidden dark secrets. he loved his job and took it far too seriously.
unfortunately, a case would go awry that would have boris questioning whether or not he truly knew the world around him. the police had dropped a case involving the murder of a woman. while the police attempted to pin the crime on the husband — as that was typically the culprit — there wasn’t enough evidence to convict him. after hours, days, and even months of trying to connect the dots, boris was no closer to the truth than he was when he received the case. visiting the sight of the murder, boris swore he encountered a creature there that wasn’t human nor animal. it was something else entirely, and fully capable of killing a woman.
however, he knew he would be called crazy if he told anyone about what he believed he saw. he tried to use logic to clear his head of the encounter, but it wouldn’t leave him be. eventually, boris decided to dive head first into a world he originally believed to be completely made-up. he focused his work on paranormal investigations, wanting to solve anything that could be linked to something otherworldly — cases police and other investigators refused to touch. whether or not he was simply crazy, boris wouldn’t be lead astray.
[ mad mikkelsen, cis man, fifty-five ] Let’s give a warm welcome to one of Sparkwood’s finest, GERALT RIVIA !! Before coming here, he once lived on the pages of THE WITCHER. Though now they currently spend most of their time as a WILDLIFE AND FISHERIES AGENT. If you ask the townsfolk about what they are like, you will hear that they are RESOURCEFUL but also PESSIMISTIC. If they had a theme song it would be LULLABY OF WOE - ASHLEY SERENA. Let’s see how their story unravels this time.
geralt was the eldest of two, a quiet child with a naturally broody personality. he’d always kept to himself and had a temper when anyone tried to interrupt the time alone. often, his mother would say he was born with an old soul to excuse his behavior. because of this, he never got along with his peers. but, there was one he did get along with: a girl who was just as tough as the boys and loved to remind them. for some reason, the two got along. they loved to walk around in the woods, having sword fights with sticks and generally terrorizing the wildlife.
geralt, though he would never admit it, considered her to be his best friend. he knew he would never meet anyone else he trusted as he trusted her. unfortunately, his family decided to move after his father died, succumbing to injuries related to an accident that took place at his work. due to being the new (and strange) new kid at a new school, geralt was often picked on. of course, he didn’t allow anyone to get away with bullying him, often starting and ending fights. he grew even more isolated and was often watched by the school’s faculty.
despite the struggle to stay in school, geralt managed to graduate. he was by no means not smart enough, but his violent and grumpy reputation preceded him before all else. all of his teachers expected him to fail, so it was that much sweeter to prove them wrong. after this, he chose one of the more remote jobs to avoid people and protect the earth’s creatures: an agent for the wildlife and fisheries service. it provided good pay and also gave geralt a sense of doing something good when he’d always been told he was ‘bad’.
he learned over time that the girl he’d known in the past had a daughter, visiting very fleetingly every few years to check on them. he never wanted to grow attached, but he did want to ensure that all was well. he always had a hand extended in case he was ever needed. unknown to him, however, he was named the god-father of the child. it was only when his best friend perished that he had found out. he refused to take the child, ciri, under his wing. he was no good to be a father, glad when her grandmother stepped in to take care of ciri. still, he would visit once and a while.
though the girl was now grown, geralt felt a sense of duty to come to sparkwood and look after ciri once her grandparents passed. he felt guilt for not adopting her when her mother and father left and wanted to make it up to her in some strange roundabout way. he still refuses to admit his true feelings, but anyone who was close to him would recognize that he genuinely cares for ciri.
in his older age, he tries to avoid fights because they’re seen as an annoyance. but, he will fuck your shit up if you insist.
still prefers to be left alone.
heterosexual / demiromatic?? he has only (and often) slept with women and hasn’t really thought about sleeping with men. but, i have a feeling someone could come along and give him a chance to change that.
loves baths.
wears a pendants that his father owned.
bordering alcoholic. he’s always drinking, but he doesn’t really get drunk or tipsy.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: bullying and murder.
maybe part of the reason that julian browning has always been enamored with film had something to do with the fact that life seemed simpler in the movies. if anyone had the chance to idealize their life and block out all the bad things, why wouldn’t they? julian was born into a somewhat wealthy family, the boy’s parents not necessarily wanting anything to do with him from an early age. he was passed off from nanny to the housekeeper to babysitter. although, he was especially close with one of his family members: his grandfather. the man was the owner of the historical movie theater in sparkwood called the palace theater. it was through his grandfather that his love for cinema truly blossomed, the man teaching him everything and enriching him with all the classics from an early age.
school was never easy for julian, the boy often finding himself becoming the subject of bullying due to his hyper-fixations and his small stature. luckily, one of these things he was able to outgrow. but his growth spurt didn’t prevent those bullies from calling him a freak completely. he tried his best to block out their harsh words, but insults have a way of wearing down on a person. especially when the bullying became physical, julian doing everything in his power to hide that fact from his family. he was seventeen years old when the only thing that made his life better left this earth, his grandfather peacefully passing away due to old age. it was then he began working at the theater in hopes of preserving his grandfather’s legacy.
he ended up going to university where he double majored in film and business. when he graduated he began managing his family’s theater with the help of his father. although, one night when he was cleaning up, one of his high school bullies snuck into the theater. the man was looking to vandalize, julian catching him as he was about to take a knife to one of the retro screens. he completely saw red and blacked out, the thought of protecting the theater outweighing any rational thoughts. the next thing he remembered was being on top of the other stabbing him. he was able to dispose of the body with the help of his parents but feels as if something has broken inside of him. maybe it can’t be fixed.
HEADCANONS.
while julian imagined actually moving out of sparkwood and making movies after graduating from university, the palace theater gives him more purpose than directing probably ever would.
his biggest pet peeve is rude theater etiquette. he absolutely hates people who talk during movies or sit there on their phones.
his favorite genre of film is horror and he’s a big fan of international-based horror along with the classics. out of all the classics, the creature from the black lagoon and the wolfman are his favorites.
he is constantly paranoid after the incident that happened in the theater.
his go-to snacks at the movies is popcorn and peanut m&ms.
he currently is roommates with paul matthews.
he is bisexual.
his favorite holiday is halloween and he loves fall because he is fairly averse to hot weather.
when not watching movies, he likes to spend his time hiking or reading.

full name: elisabeth lindstrom
nicknames: none
age: twenty
gender: cis female
pronouns: she/her
sexuality: bisexual
( tw: terminal illness and death )
MOST PEOPLE WOULD look at the life that elisabeth lindstrom has lived and assume that she has had it easy, which isn’t completely wrong. she was born and raised in stockholm, to two wealthy parents. both her father frank and mother lotta were her role models. she also had a younger sister named patricia who she adored more than anything in this world. she grew up in the lap of luxury, living near the bay in a rather large house. she was spoiled but never allowed that to get to her head too much, even if she did like having things done for her rather than putting in the work herself. who doesn’t prefer taking the easy route?
though when she was in her junior year of high school, her mother ended up being diagnosed with a terminal illness. it was unfortunately not long after that when her mother passed away, leaving the family of three in shambles. while her grandmother tried her best to help, elisabeth felt a tad bit bitter that the woman only decided to enter their life after her mother’s passing. she never seemed to care too much until she was gone and her eyes it was too late to make amends. elisabeth’s father began to pull away from his family after the passing of his wife, spending far too much time at the office and leaving elisabeth to babysit her sister and take care of her on most nights. school wasn’t any better for the girl, finding herself subjected to the new role as just ‘the girl whose mom died’. people treated her differently... as if she was fragile.
maybe she was. after graduation, her father decided that he would be working remotely and he wanted to move his family to the states. they ended up moving to a small town in virginia. despite her father’s desire for elisabeth to do something that he viewed as practical with her life, she decided to apply at the local university where she ended up majoring in theatre.

warning : mentions of sociopathic tendencies, cohersion/emotional manipulation, & murder.
when you love scary movies so much that your life becomes one, that’s exactly what happened to billy loomis. no one would have expected someone like him to snap one day, but that’s how it always goes … isn’t it? he was extremely popular & well-liked in school, excelled in most of his classes, had a good friend group. so what could have gone wrong? everything was rather normal in billy’s life up until he turned fifteen & ended up coming home to a sight he wished he could erase from his brain: his father kissing another woman. not just any woman: his ex-girlfriend’s mom.
he kept his father’s infidelity to himself, not wanting to ruin his picture perfect family. but it wasn’t long until his mother caught on about what was happening, the woman unexpectedly packing her bags & leaving without a trace. she didn’t even bother to say goodbye to billy, her anger blinding her. this abandonment flourished into a wealth of mommy issues & a rage that set off something inside the boy. it had been something that always been there, just hidden out of plain sight.
it had been there in his lack of general empathy & his fascination with both horror & gore, those two things only increasing with time. to cope with his anger, he ended up joining a few random chat rooms across the internet where he confided in strangers who shared his anger & hatred toward the world. one person he met named roman became his best friend & ended up grooming him in a way. manipulating him into wanting to act on his violent fantasies. the temptation was only growing stronger, billy attempting to find ways to avoid the dark thoughts that ran through his head. but he found himself slowly caving to roman’s pressure, becoming an accomplice to the death of his ex-girlfriend’s mother.
now that he has witnessed death it’s becoming harder for billy to block out the temptation to feel what roman must have in that moment. after graduating high school, he ended up moving onto university where he majors in film. maybe one day he’ll make his own horror film.

BIOGRAPHY
there isn’t much for him but you can read cassian’s canon backstory here!
TW : parental death, talk of death in general
cassian was born the only child of a mild-mannered farming couple set on living a quiet, peaceful life -- leading him to have the same sort of personality as a child: easygoing, reserved, not easily rattled by things. that was until he was six years old (or perhaps seven, he wasn’t sure, the memories all blur together for him now) when his father was killed, leaving himself and his mother alone in the world with only each other to look after. however, despite tragedy, life still insists on moving forward -- a lesson cassian had learned time and time again throughout his years.
from then on trouble always seemed to follow close behind cassian every step he took; his teenage years finding him always on the verge of arrest or punishment from authority figures, though he always managed to escape just in the nick of time. just lucky, he supposed. so lucky, actually, he hadn’t even noticed his personality had begun to harden over the years, from a gentle, quiet child to a stoic, more callous adult, able to screw over friends and collogues with ease -- but not without heartache. he truly was a sensitive person at his core, no amount of years of hardening could erase that, so every misdeed, every person he hurt, weighed heavily on his soul.
his mother’s death later in life had a strange effect on him; while his father’s death brought sadness, grief, and loss, his mother’s passing left him only with bitterness, and almost completely took away his own fear of death -- feeling as though it may come for him at any moment and that would be fine by him.
as an adult now living completely on his own in the world, he had come to realize his distrust for authority and penchant for crime might serve him well if he himself was the one with the authority. it was a long shot, sure, but nothing a few white lies and little smooth talking couldn’t solve; and with that, he landed himself a cozy job as a security guard. there was a bit of an identity crisis that came along with it at first, but hardly anyone really knew him anyway, so did it really matter?
HEADCANONS
cassian does not currently, nor has he ever had, many close friends. he’s had acquaintances, but never anyone he’s thought truly knows him. if anyone wants to kinda break his shell and get close to him though, that’d be so fun
reading is his favorite pastime
his favorite type of people are those with personalities similar to K2-SO like no filter, very blunt and say anything. they contrast well with his own reserved, sensitive personality.
he likes sports but only no contact sports like tennis
i feel like he probably has a roommate? id love to plot if anyone wants to have cassian be their character’s roommate
