Hawkins, don’t all gasp at once, but for the first time in… well, ever… the WSQK booth is opening its doors to new voices. If you’ve ever dreamed of spinning records, whispering secrets into the late‑night static, or accidentally broadcasting something you definitely shouldn’t have, no judgment, it happens, this is your moment.

We’re looking for weirdos, wallflowers, loudmouths, conspiracy theorists, music nerds, night owls, and anyone who thinks the airwaves could use a little more you. No experience required, just a pulse, a personality, and the ability to survive whatever the hell keeps knocking on the studio window after midnight.

So if you’ve been waiting for a sign, consider this your neon‑lit, slightly‑flickering invitation. Step up to the mic. Tell Hawkins who you are. And maybe, just maybe, the static will answer back.

APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN. June will be waiting in the booth, coffee in hand, pretending she’s not excited.

[Premade original character bios below the cut.]

CALVIN “CAL” RUTLEDGE — Sound Engineer

Age: 38 Role: Keeps the ancient equipment alive Vibe: Grumpy, brilliant, chain‑smoker, secretly soft Echo Tie: The soundboard reacts to his presence — lights flicker, dials spin on their own. Plot Hooks:

Claims he can “hear” the Threshold in the static

Keeps a drawer full of tapes he refuses to play

Doesn’t trust the government agents sniffing around

MARGO LEE — Station Manager

Age: 47 Role: Runs the business side of WSKQ Vibe: No‑nonsense, protective, exhausted Echo Tie: None… until she starts receiving letters addressed to her from a version of herself that doesn’t exist. Plot Hooks:

Tries to keep June from getting fired or arrested

Notices the station’s finances don’t add up — literally

Has a locked office drawer labeled “DO NOT OPEN”

TOMMY “TOMCAT” RIVERS — Afternoon DJ

Age: 34 Role: Music hours + community announcements Vibe: Charming, goofy, local celebrity Echo Tie: Songs glitch when he plays certain tracks; sometimes the music plays backwards. Plot Hooks:

Swears he saw a creature outside the booth

Receives fan mail from someone who signs as “Tommy Rivers, Age 12”

Has a crush on June he will never admit

PENNY SHAW — Intern / High School Reporter

Age: 17 Role: Runs the “Teen Beat” segment Vibe: Overachiever, nosy, fearless Echo Tie: Her tape recorder captures voices no one else hears. Plot Hooks:

Investigating the Boy in the Woods

Friends with the Party

Has a photo of Eddie that shouldn’t exist

MR. ALDEN PRICE — Call Screener

Age: 62 Role: Screens callers during live shows Vibe: Sweet, grandfatherly, slightly deaf Echo Tie: Sometimes answers calls before the phone rings. Plot Hooks:

Claims he spoke to his late wife on the Night Shift

Keeps a notebook of “strange callers”

Has a voice that calms Echo surges

“RED” MARSHALL — Tower Technician

Age: 29 Role: Maintains the broadcast tower Vibe: Quiet, rugged, loner Echo Tie: The tower reacts violently when he climbs it — sparks, hums, distortions. Plot Hooks:

Found a gate signature near the tower base

Has a scar he doesn’t remember getting

Sees a second tower in the woods that no one else can find

SUSAN HART — Administrative Assistant

Age: 52 Role: Schedules shows, handles mail Vibe: Sweet, organized, secretly terrified Echo Tie: Receives letters postmarked from future dates. Plot Hooks:

Keeps every letter “just in case”

Recognizes handwriting from missing persons

Once opened a letter addressed to June… from June

EDDIE MUNSON [ JOSEPH QUINN ] is looking for their [ BAND - CORRODED COFFIN; CANON ]. They are [ 21 - 23 ] and look an awful lot like [ UTP]. Muns [ DO NOT ] need to contact mun before applying for connection.

Gareth Emerson — Drums (TAKEN)

The “responsible one” who still ends up in the van at 2AM; knows everyone’s business without trying; the first to notice when something feels off in Hawkins.

Age: 21 - 23

Vibe: Dry humor, steady hands, secretly the most grounded of the bunch.

Role in the Band: Human metronome; keeps Eddie’s chaos from detonating mid‑set.

Personality: Sarcastic, observant, loyal to a fault. Doesn’t talk much, but when he does, it lands.

Jeff Barnes — Rhythm Guitar

Mediator between bandmates; the one teachers actually like; has a surprising knack for reading people and sensing tension before it breaks.

Age: 21 - 23

Vibe: Chill, diplomatic, the band’s unofficial translator.

Role in the Band: Smooths out Eddie’s riffs, keeps arrangements tight, handles the practical stuff.

Personality: Easygoing, thoughtful, quietly ambitious. The guy who brings extra strings because he knows Eddie won’t.

Grant Goodman — Bass

The band’s “mystery guy”; shows up, plays flawlessly, disappears; knows more about the Hawkins underground music scene than he lets on.

Age: 21 - 23

Vibe: Deadpan, unbothered, secretly the funniest guy in the room.

Role in the Band: Low‑end anchor; technical player with a deceptively sharp ear.

Personality: Quiet, blunt, observant. Rarely speaks, but when he does, it’s either genius or chaos.

*You may absolutely change any of this. Names are canon.

MONA HENDERSON [ LILY-ROSE DEPP ] is looking for their [ PARTNER IN CRIME ]. They are [ 20+ ] and look an awful lot like [ UTP ]. Muns [ DO NOT ] need to contact mun before applying for connection.

Before Hawkins, Mona’s life didn’t come with board games or quiet nights. She wasn’t a girl with a steady plan—she was the one in the passenger seat of a stolen car, boots on the dashboard, hair out the window, laughing into the wind with the man who called her partner in crime. He taught her how to hotwire a car, how to slip past locked doors, and how to disappear when the cops got too close. They shared cheap whiskey, bad decisions, and a pact built on no‑strings, no‑consequences, no‑attachments. Of course, that was the first rule they broke.

When Mona found out about the secrets in Hawkins and decided to bolt, she didn’t just leave a “Dear John” note. She took something that didn’t belong to her—a stash of cash. She told herself she was done with that old life. No more sirens. No more him. Except fate has terrible timing.

He’s coming to Hawkins—not for her, not this time. Maybe it’s business, maybe it’s running from trouble of his own, maybe it’s someone who owes him a debt.
