Character Name: Robin Buckley Age: 17 Employment in Deerington: Robin is technically a student at the high school, but I’m very interested in finding her a job! Residence in Deerington: Castle road house with a bunch of other stranger things folks Day to Day Activities: going to school, running errands, training at the gym, hanging out at the library sometimes
About This Character: Robin is a seventeen year old ice-cream-slinger-turned-amateur-spy from Hawkins, Indiana! Back home, she successfully infiltrated a Russian military base and learned about the weird supernatural stuff going on in her town. She’s smart, snarky, nerdy and good for a laugh, but she’s also got some deep-seated insecurities about her sexuality that often lead her to keep people at a distance. Any Warnings: Robin’s past includes internalized and external homophobia and some torture — I can all of these pretty easily, just lmk!
Present Life: Back home, Robin was only able to scratch the surface of the weird stuff going on in her town, but now that she’s in Deerington, she very much wants to understand its mysteries. She goes to the high school every so often, but now that two of the adults in her house have left town, she’s more interested in looking for a job. Future Ideas: I’d like Robin to be involved in the overarching Deerington metaplot more, would love for her to come out of her shell, and just have more opportunities for to be a hot mess.
CR You Want: Everything!! Some things that stick out include: -Fellow teens to mess around with -Fellow investigative types -Mentors! teach her how to be a better detective, help her come out of her shell, etc! CR You Don't Want: n/a
Character Name: Gerard Keay Age: 30 Employment in Deerington: Art teacher at Deerington High Residence in Deerington: David Cliff apartments Day to Day Activities: You can find Gerard working at the high school, running errands at various shops, occasionally scouring bookstores for anything that looks suspicious, and playing his music in his apartment waaaay too loudly.
About This Character: Gerard is a big intimidating goth with a heart of gold who got swept up in eldritch supernatural Nonsense as a child and has been trying to make his place in the spooky underground ever since. Gerard is the type of person who really wants to connect with others, but can be shy/feels like an outsider a lot. His primary drive is to help people avoid the traumatic, supernaturally-involved lifestyle that got forced upon him. Any Warnings: Gerard’s past includes child and spousal abuse, terminal illness, gore, and assisted suicide — I can avoid all of these in our threads, so please let me know if you’d like to opt out on any of this!
Present Life: Gerard is still fairly new to Deerington, so he’s still settling in! His month is pretty tied up in dealing with the fact that his friend is a walking disaster (thanks jon sims!), and next month he’ll be dealing with all that fallout, plus having a birthday. Future Ideas: I’m planning on having Gerard opening up a tattoo shop! Overall, I’d like him to get settled in into the day-to-day life and community of the town, and experience that nice community/solidarity feeling he never really got in canon.
CR You Want: Again, everything! Some ideas: -friends friends FRIENDS! Gerard is a sweet dude but kinda quiet, he didn’t get to have a lot of friends in canon and I am determined to fix that here -Fellow supernatural types to commiserate with! -Fellow art/creative types to make stuff with!

Character Name: Arya Stark Age: 12 Employment in Deerington: weapons specialist at F.E.A.R. Residence in Deerington: flatwords point Day to Day Activities: Arya hangs out and trains at F.E.A.R. a lot, and often can be found hunting/training in the woods! She also loves Peter’s pizza, and you can find her hanging out there, judging everyone in her tween way.
About This Character: Arya is a plucky tomboy with a sword who has Been Through Some Shit, notably living through a war, being a fugitive, and taking refuge with a cult. She’s fierce and loyal and has a strong sense of justice, but also slow to trust and prone to stab first, ask questions later. Any Warnings: Arya comes with a whole bunch of content warnings, including child abuse, war-related violence and torture, death of family members/parents, and heavy cult involvement/brainwashing. Some of these are hard to avoid in her introspection, so please chat with me about your limits OOCly if any if these are an issue, and we can work something out. The permissions post on her journal also doubles as an opt-out, and please feel free to opt-out if her character or canon makes you feel uncomfortable in any way.
Present Life: Arya is having a pretty heavy month this July. She’ll be falling into despair, committing a murder, and then going into hiding to avoid a trial, but dealing with the corresponding despair letdown/guilt that comes from her crime. Future Ideas: Arya has a lot of trauma she's healing from, and I'd like to continue that. Her murder will really shake her up, and she'll be dealing with whether or not she's becoming the person she wants to be, and she'll also be dealing with the extent to which her former cult still has a hold on her.
CR You Want: Everything, including: -Found family! She’s dealing with the loss of her own, and while she’s slow to trust, once your character gets close to her, she’s very ride-or-die -Arya is curious by nature, so people to teach her about their worlds/the modern world -Sword/battle friends! -People her age to cause c h a o s with. (or anybody to make chaos with, really, arya is a little gremlin with a sword and the amount of trouble she can get into is endless).
