TREASURE SEEKERS ASSEMBLE!!!
omg there are a lot of us!!! i don't have everyone's contact info, so we should plot here maybe??? and sorry for the delay in posting, my weekends are slammed right now.
i'm bringing in just one character to start!
mordecai mendel @ idfk. he's a conspiracy theorist, doomsday prepper, and cryptid/ghost enthusiast. he's CONVINCED there are mysterious and powerful forces at work and the island is EXTREMELY HAUNTED, he just doesn't yet realize that he's one of the ones haunting it.
in life, he was an academic underachiever and blew off school assignments in favor of FUN. he was the lead singer and guitarist of his indie band (of COURSE), but they weren't very good and most members, including himself, were in there for fun and the status of being in a high school band rather than any higher goals and aspirations. (if anyone wants to say their characters were in his band, lmk!)
he was into parkour and urban exploration and he liked to break into old buildings to go ghost hunting with friends. he also ran a geocities-style cryptid/ghost website where he wrote about REAL, ACTUAL, TOTALLY TRUE encounters with the ~paranormal~ and local legends/conspiracy theories that were sometimes just thinly veiled gossip columns to get people talking.
after graduating high school, he didn't go to college because his grades were shit and his family couldn't really afford it anyway but he claims it's because college is a government scam to keep you shackled in debt. anyway, he stayed in their hometown to focus on his ONLINE JOURNALISM CAREER (ie his shitty website) and try to churn a profit by selling ad space and merch.
i'm shamelessly recycling him from a previous game and his old app is here if y'all wanna get a feel for him while i work on his app for this game
treasure seekers!
let's talk!!
how old were we thinking of making them? i'd like for my dude to be at least 21 if that's okay. if you guys want to go younger, i can say he was held back in school.
