I figure is the sorta guy who everyone knows.. good for a laugh, got a knack for gadgets and gizmos, and always 'just there' when a joke goes down. (Like the Gym Teacher's PDA emailing out his 'coming out' email to any handhelds within the school, ect)

all,

well, if it isn't already obvious, i really think synchronicity's post is a great idea, so i'm following suit. here's eleyna's general knowledge of the rest of the kids:

in general: eleyna has become very reclusive in her senior year, to the point that everyone who knows her even modestly well thinks that something might be wrong. she is uncharacteristically quiet, and while she will speak when spoken to, she usually does so quickly and without making much conversation. she seems depressed all of the time, has been performing poorly in class and has dropped out of most of her old extra-curricular activites.

gabriel adams: eleyna has known gabe through all of school, as they have shared many advanced classes and have become friendly acquaintances through the first three years of high school. she enjoys talking to him in class, and thinks he's very nice and extremely genuine. she enjoys his company, even after her medical issues.

andrew ward: eleyna knows exactly who andrew ward is, as does everyone in school. she thinks he's cute, but doesn't see much potential in him other than his looks and athletic ability. eleyna still holds a few records in women's track, so he may know who she is if he pays attention to that sort of thing, but eleyna would highly doubt that he does... nor would she care.

corey vineyard: eleyna had heard rumors about an underclassman fighting and actually hurting dennis ramsey, a lunkhead in her grade. wasn't his name corey vineyard?

kyle graham: eleyna knew who he was even before he pulled his "coming out" prank with the gym teacher. she doesn't think that it was very cool for him to do that sort of thing.

lorenzo reynolds: eleyna and zo share the same benefit of mixing cliques without any negative ramifications. he's a good looking guy, he's pretty cool and seems very confident of himself, but she doesn't see him much outside of the hallways and lunch.

jennifer allen: eleyna knows jennifer the way she knows andrew ward. although she is popular, jennifer is very down to earth, and eleyna has gotten along well with her in the past. her carefree nature, however, has caused eleyna to avoid her more since her problems started junior year. she finds it hard to understand how someone could have so few problems, or at least, how she can just let them go so easily.

sam donaldson: she knows who sam is. if someone asked eleyna who sam was, she could point him out, but doesn't remember ever talking to him before.

if anyone has any thoughts to the contrary of eleyna's p.o.v. just let me know and i can edit those in. (thanks again for the idea, synch!)

regarding gabe... she just seems more difficult to talk to. i don't know how gabe would react to this, and she still would enjoy gabe's company (a friendly face, if nothing else), but it would definitely be harder for him to communicate with her.

Gabe's likely response would have been to draw back a bit, mostly because he'd worry that he'd done something to make her colder towards him. Like I said, he's not got all that much self esteem, and worries about unintentionally annoying people. These days, he probably still smiles at her in the halls, but he's oviously more hesitant to start conversations. (Sort of changing from starting conversations with something like "Hey, eleyna, how's it going?" to starting them with "Uh, hey. You mind if I sit here? Uh..so...heard about <insert generic topic of interest here>?" Just generally more hesitant, maybe a bit anxious. Then he'll try to make small talk for a bit until her lack of response makes the conversation drag, at which point he'll probably manufacture a clumsy reason to be somewhere else and wander off, feeling a bit stupid.) He wants to ask her what's up, but doesn't think he knows her well enough to ask, and there's obviously some worry over her condition lurking in the back of his eyes. (Gabe's 'amazing' Bluff +1 makes it hard for him to deceive people as to how he's feeling.)

I could make a list of relationships for Corey, but it seems pointless since I'd just be dividing the characters into lists of people he would or wouldn't recognize in the hallways.

Anyway, I have a couple quick questions for Nuke.

1. How many students are in this school?
2. What would the students know about these exams they're going to give us? Do we think it's completely mundane?

Gee.. nobody likes Kyle (fyi.. he's more the getting even for the little guy prankster than a mean one):(

It's not that Gabe doesn't like him. It's just that Kyle's three years younger than Gabe, so he hasn't had much contact with him, and most likely the only time he'll have heard his name mentioned is in connection with one prank or other. He doesn't really have any feelings towards him at all; he just doesn't know him. Something which will most likely soon change.. ;)

synch,

yeah, i think that is a good background for the two of them. i don't think eleyna will have told him anything by the time the game starts, but i like the background. cool stuff!!!

kaintheseeker,

eleyna would have known who kyle was through the prank, and she just doesn't think it was very funny. doesn't mean they won't get along, nor that she doesn't like kyle... just that she didn't like the prank. (although, to be fair, i am assuming that since this is a small town, the gym teacher might be a coach for just about everything, but i could be wrong about that...)

i can't wait to get started!!!

That was the feeling I got too; Gabe's too shy and uncertain in himself to just ask her what's up, because he doesn't think he knows her well enough to ask those kinds of questions (and she most likely wouldn't tell him anyway, but as it stands, that's kind of beside the point), and Eleyna's got no reason to tell him; it's not like he's a close friend or anything. From the way you've written it, I get the feeling she hasn't even told her closest friends how she's feeling? Or are her once-close friends sort of ex-close friends now she's got all reclusive and uncommunicative?

I agree that this kind of background is really cool. I always enjoy games much better when you get a feel for the characters as real people, with real history that itself evolves as the character solidifys in your mind. They tend to almost take on a life of their own at that point, and that's a really great feeling. :)

at this point, she hasn't told anyone. even her closest friends. she has come close to telling people but feels guilty about causing other people stress with her problems. which is, in turn, causing her additional stress.

i feel like we're playing the game already!
