The Rockwell Paranormal Society (RPS)
"Winter, when did you take this!?-" - Marina
A forum currently ran by Winter Moore that eventually turned into a small group of in-person meetings and group investigations. It was originally a specific subset of the Parawatch Wiki, but since branched into its own independent thing as critics repeatedly bashed their findings and claimed "No town is THAT haunted." It attempts to chronicle the goings-on in Rockwell that veer far beyond what is considered "normal."
[#New Perspective || Winter]
The super awesome totally 100% right about everything founder of this group. He seems to have an acute awareness of paranormal and otherwise otherworldly occurrences... Which manifests as sneezing in the presence of such phenomenon. He uses this "ability" to determine the location of the group's next investigation location.
[#Healthy Skeptic || Marina]
A healthy skeptic. Marina doesn't fully believe in the paranormal, nor does she fully believe that everything is as normal as things seem. She's not quick to buy into whatever insane theory Winter or Percy come up with and tries to rationalize it. After all, this town can't be that haunted. Right?
Joshua is, in full honesty, just here to support his friends. Best friend of Winter since high school and friends with Marina, he's used to acting as the "voice of reason" between the two. He tries to balance Marina's skepticism and Winter's full belief in the paranormal to... Varying degrees of success. ... Honestly, he's just happy to make sure nobody kills each other or gets killed.
Jay is a bit of an asshole, and she will admit it. She claims to just be a skeptic, poking holes in any theories the others come up with. However, the way they go about it is... Abrasive, to say the least. She denies the existence of the paranormal, even when confronted with evidence of the contrary. They will argue that anything is just an elaborate display of effects, and even has on one occasion accused Winter of hiring an actor or two.
Roanoke joined this group for all the "wrong" reasons. A self-proclaimed "gentleman" who throws himself right into the most haunted or cursed locations while shouting that he's single. Has an alarming amount of knives and similar weaponry on hand, casually. Has been told numerous times to stop packing switchblades, but does so anyway. Is always paired with at least two people, as last time he used the buddy system he, and I quote, "tried to sacrifice Mei to the sexy ghost lady in the attic of that one manor."
Mei is the youngest and most excitable member of the group. She's a fangirl to the highest degree, obsessed with the "lore" of various creatures and monsters. She eagerly reads and writes both published fiction and fanfiction, which seems to mostly concern creatures and romance. She often fights with Rowen over which monsters are superior.
[#Occult Expert || Sabina]
Sabina knows a lot of things. This doesn't mean she understands everything going on in Rockwell, but she at least recognizes that these guys are onto something and if they're not careful, they're going to die. Sabina knows how to properly protect everyone from paranormal threats to the best of her ability. She's not about to let an overly enthusiastic Mei try to befriend a demon and lose her soul or let Winter blindly run right into a very, very angry ghost.
[#Exaggerated Anxiety || Percy]
Percival is anxious. Overly so. He is terrified of even the slightest sight or even suggestion of a haunting. They are also terribly, terribly misguided. He insists that every single thing has to be aliens or ghosts. No matter how absurd. They're one of the newest members.
[#Ceaseless Conspiracy || Frankie]
Frankie has theories on what's going on. Do they know how to properly articulate those thoughts and convey them in a way that anyone will take seriously? ... No, but they're working on it. They're close to figuring it all out, though, trust. ... Just... give them some time.
