* AdultFear: On top of being afraid of his far right wing father for more sexuality related reasons, Jackson has a flashback to his dad dragging out a bloodstained tarp from the house, and then ''never seeing his adoptive mother again''. One doesn't need to do much to connect the dots.



** He's recently becoming more open though, even stepping in to rescue Kyle from Marco's brainwashed teens.

** He's recently becoming more open though, even stepping in to rescue Kyle from Marco's brainwashed teens. Though he's still very, very nervous (for good reasons as well) about trying to ask Kyle out.



* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Though less evil lately, Jackson has his fellow jocks. He's incredibly worried and aggressive due to what Marco did to them, and took it out on the heroes.

to:

* HeroicBuild: Matthew, it's not an understatement to say, is in [[Creator/ChrisHemsworth God of Thunder shape.]]
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Matt has had his share of adventures before the RP. In one scene showing what Matthew's doing when he's not around, he's ''fighting a dragon.''




to:

* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: Matthew makes swords among other weapons. He's notably a Weapons Magi - he can't do many spells outside of enhancement, making things for him to fight with, and some...[[SwordBeam other spells.]]

* KnightOfCerebus: The first explicit monster in the RP. He very quickly sets the mood of what one can expect from Demons of the Dark Gods. Well, at least at first.
* LargeHam: Dhakar knows no voice tone but LOUD, highlighted by his every word being bolded.



* RedBaron: The Everliving is his title.




to:

* SwordAndSorcery: The Sword to Reiji's Sorcery - a huge, brutish monstrosity who basically embodies "tank".
* VillainTeamUp: Dhakar and Reiji are working together as a team - they bicker a bit, but have very similar goals.


Added DiffLines:

[[folder: Reiji "of the Million Spells"]]

The dark red haired sorcerer of the Umbral Horde, sworn to one of the Gods. Reiji is...not exactly how one would assume he'd be. Awkward, insecure, prone to self doubt, physically rather error prone, and yet perplexingly powerful, Reiji is one of the hints toward what goes on in the woods.

* TheArchmage: That title? It isn't an exaggeration. If anything, it's underselling it.
* ButtMonkey: Reiji's text messages go ignored, and he gets very insecure very fast, immediately thinking Jayden's laughing at him. He also trips over himself on the way to talk to Jayden, and undercuts his own mystique multiple times.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Ominously reveals he knew about Jayden's darkest emotions, detected his mental episode, and that he could acquire phone numbers very easily! ...And then just as easily undercuts himself immediately. Such is Reiji.
* TheReveal: Reveals the name of the cult...in the context of admitting he's probably not a "cool Umbral".
* VillainTeamUp: He and Dhakar. One wonders how Dhakar and Reiji met in the first place.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Jackson can see that Duane was affected by Alan Godfrey's magical voice. It's not stated if the effect can only be seen by those in the know. So it could be Jackson is more than he may seem, or he's just capable of seeing it like anyone...

[[folder: Marco DiGracia]]

A deranged and obsessive "fan" of natural disasters, Marco apparently had a reputation of chasing tornadoes and such things before he obtained magic. After, he became a powerful and even further crazed Mage / Supervillain themed around Nature. He is obsessed with ousting the adults in town and destroying the "relics of the past". His Magic Type is Natural Disaster Magic, which included lightning bolts, tornadoes, earthquakes and windstorms.

* AxCrazy: Marco does not have the best grip on his sanity. He's fond of dropping lightning bolts on people and even seems to think "Mother Earth" wants him to murder people.
* BoltOfDivineRetribution: How Marco stylizes his lightning bolt strikes - Mother Earth giving him a lightning bolt on command.
* GaeasVengeance: At least as far as Marco presents himself - he sees himself as an agent of Gaea's revenge.
* {{Irony}}: Despite all his talk about being a savior of the environment and nature's avenger, Marco's powers are probably playing havoc on the local ecosystem.
* MagicStaff: Channels or at least is only consciously able to use his magic through his staff.
** SanityHasAdvantages: Marco is enormously powerful - and if his own words can be taken literally, he's a PersonOfMassDestruction. However owing to his delusions and implicitly not being all that used to his magic, Marco primarily uses it with his staff. No one else needs this crutch when using magic.
* TeenageWasteland: Marco's ideal world would call for the adults to get burnt to a crisp for being "untrustworthy" and "more concerned with profit"

[[folder: "The Monster"]]

The horrible monster that was responsible for the disappearance of Tom. Recently seen more or less in the flesh by Pablo, appearing more like a bruise on reality until it gets close enough. Then its true shape becomes visible.

* AxCrazy: Insanely aggressive and dangerous.
* BodyHorror: Among other things, its flesh is described as looking like it was boiled, its back is lined with tendrils, its tongue is too long, it has extremely long legs and arms, to the extent the joints are positioned up in the air, and its jaw snaps shut like a pair of scissors.
* CannotCrossRunningWater: It for whatever reason cannot cross flowing rivers. Attempting to do so injures it until it gives up on pursuing Pablo.
* CombatTentacles: Makes use of a number of tendrils, described as like they're full of ooze until they "go lean" and start whipping around.
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Initially, appears as nothing but a distortion, only able to be identified by the way it distorts the world around itself.
* NightmareFace: Its bulbous face provokes a shout out to Predator from Pablo. It has four eyes, and a mouth full of nasty teeth.

* IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace: Oron'gur (wherever or whatever it is) has the kind of sound of a Tolkien-esque bad place. And it has a lot of ''something'' very bad going down there.
* SexGod: Zayufur. She seems to be associated with lust, forbidden things, taboo violations, duality and rebirth.

[[folder: "The Everliving"]]

A monstrosity seen in the woods by Mina through the Scrying Pool in "[[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace Oron'gur]]". It quickly and easily killed 19 cops, and then let Damien know that it's "back in town", showing there is some history there.

* DemonicPossession: The Everliving does this to a much larger degree than most demons. He possesses 10 Police Squad Cars, and sculpts them quickly and easily into a nightmarish body.
* FlechetteStorm: Fires jagged shards of metal from his hands.
* FogOfDoom: Lets out the exhaust from the police cars that formed his body through the valves on his back, giving an imposing image.
* KnightOfCerebus: The first explicit monster in the RP. He very quickly sets the mood of what one can expect from Demons of the Dark Gods.
* MookHorrorShow: The police literally stand no chance against The Everliving.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Turned police headlights into his eyes via some sort of mechanical mutation.

!!Notable Sandfield Residents

[[folder: Corpheus Scyllo]]

The "Priest of the Poor", Corpheus is an incredibly aged priest who spreads a social gospel. He believes the wealthy were responsible for the death of Tom, and led a mob of his followers purely to publicly accuse them at Monroe.

* EatTheRich: His gospel is notably in this direction. He chooses to live in poverty, and he dislikes the influential wealthy people of the city.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Kellon Nyczus]]

A sinister "Prosperity Gospel" type preacher who seems to be involved in something dark with Mina's father Conrad. He gave some sort of item to Conrad before some sort of argument. Nyczus notably has a son, Xander Nyczus.

* BaldOfEvil: Described as completely bald, down to even having no hair on his eyebrows.
* CorruptChurch: You've seen him before. Kellon Nyczus is the kind of man who urges his gullible viewership to tithe him money to increase their favor with God. With which Kellon buys very expensive limousines...which he assures you God wants him to have. [[spoiler: The question is which God...]]
* SinisterMinister: It is obvious something dark is going on with Kellon. Beyond the fact he's a corrupt televangelist.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Jackson White]]

The aggressive, temperamental and incredibly nervous Quarterback of Monroe High's football team. He chased Tom off into the infamous "Phantomwood Forest" in a rage due to Tom calling Jackson gay due to how obsessively homophobic Jackson is. Jackson and his family have quite a few secrets...

* ArmoredClosetGay: Well, bisexual. Jackson doesn't even really bully people for much of anything outside of homophobia and nerd-shaming. And then it turns out Carter was conducting a private investigation of him which revealed Jackson is secretly attending gay circuit parties under the cover identity "Jay-Jay Hotstuff".
* BeautyIsBad: Jackson is, putting it lightly, a total hunk. He's also incredibly aggressive and homophobic, in order to keep his father's attention off of him.
* BiTheWay: Currently dating Angelina Sexton and also has the hots for Kyle, though he only managed enough bravery while drunk to tell Kyle about that.
* GymBunny: In trying to be as masculine as possible, Jackson inadvertently falls into a certain subculture. Jackson works utterly diligently on keeping his physique at its absolute best, even worrying about working off the calories of his drinking episode.
* LoveConfession: Fessed up to liking Kyle...in a sauna. While wearing just a speedo. [[Creator/GeorgeTakei "Ohhh my~"]]

[[folder: Matthew Streiss]]

The Hero of Another Story, Matthew is the Quarterback of the other football team in town, Coolidge High. He seems a lot more friendly than Jackson, and it seems he's dealt with a lot.

[[folder:Duane Logan]]

The younger brother of the deceased Coolidge High Quarterback Owen Logan, Duane has both seen evidence of Tom's fate and has some secrets of his own.

* HomoeroticSubtext: Duane has a lot of it regarding Jackson White and Tom. He blatantly enjoyed looking at Jackson's "Jay-Jay Hotstuff" secret identity, and he seemed to be very close indeed to Tom.
* PerkyGoth: He dresses the part, having some dark interests and yet refusing to believe Tom is dead, and working with others to try and find him.

[[caption-width-right:350:Ready to believe six impossible things before breakfast.]]

Jayden Gardner is the founder, president, and only member of the Paranormal Investigation Club. He is convinced that things such as mermaids, vampires, aliens, and alternate dimensions exists, and everyone around him is equally convinced that he's crazy.
----
* AgentMulder: His whole thing.
* CloudCuckooLander: Because of his beliefs, and because he's not good at socializing, he behaves this way a ''lot''.
* DisappearedDad: Like most of the Investigation Club, he only has one parent. ''Un''like most of the Investigation Club, he lost his father to something completely mundane--car accident.
