House of Fears

Name: Stewart "Stu" Collins
Age: 30
Role: Teacher
Personality: Stu is rather dull and apathetic most of the time. He keeps to himself and doesn't enforce much punishment in his classes, which is why he is well-liked among the students. He has great communication skills, but they are only useful with teaching biology. Intimidation doesn't work very well on him; although appearing composed he doesn't take shit from people. This quality makes Stu quite unpopular with other faculty members. Only those who have authority will he follow orders from. When humored, he can be quite enjoyable to be around.
Bio: Stu grew up in Chicago, Illinois with permissive parents and two older brothers. Once his brothers left the coop, he felt quite alone without their guidance. Allowed to do whatever he wanted, he quickly got involved in drugs and misdimeanors during his high school years. Stu was sent to a juvenile detention facility when he was seventeen. After spending over two months there, he came out to find himself kicked out of his home. This event sobered him into realizing that he needed to get back on track with his life.
With his savings and some finacial assistance from his brothers, Stu entered a nearby community college at age nineteen. He was granted a scholarship which he put towards earning a Bachelor's Degree. After passing the teaching training program and student teacher internship, he moved to a smaller city in Illinois and began teaching biology at the high school. He is currently living in an apartment with his girlfriend of two years and fiancee of a few months, Nikia.

Name: Shaun Greene
Age: 26
Role: Journalist
Personality: Shaun is a very assertive and reckless young man. He is one of those journalists who will go to great lengths to get a headline story in the state newspaper he works for. He may seem very bold, but he tries to stay away from any danger. Shaun enjoys uncovering scandals and current legends. He's very socialable and upbeat, but he has a tendency to chatter about his work which drives his friends up the wall. Exept really pretty women, he is comfortable around everyone.
Bio: Shaun's life is relatively uninteresting and uneventful. He grew up as an only child and was a straight-B student. Uncertain in which direction to head toward, he changed his majors frequently during college. He settled down on journalism after getting a section of an essay in a newspaper. Shaun managed to land a job for a large newspaper company. Although he has gone through many obstacles to get his stories, he's never achieved a section bigger than the usual advertisements. He is a striver, but his skill can't really catch up with his ambitions.
Appearance:

Name: Deon Hughes
Age: 16
Role: Student
Personality: Deon is a rather obedient and optimistic adolescent. Being open-minded and social, she has many friends of all different sorts. Excellent academic scores and great attendance records come naturally to her without much labor. She devotes much of her free time playing the piano in the tunes of popular hip-hop or rock music.
Bio: Being raised in a suburban and predominantly white community was a challenge for Deon and her sister, Ebony. Once the children turned into narrow-minded teenagers, the both faced constant racist criticisms, like being accused of drug dealing or prostitution. Ebony was the older one of the two and faced the harshest bullying. Most of the time the school faculty payed little to no regard for the tormenting the two sisters went through. Ebony ended up taking her own life at age seventeen by overdose on sleeping pills.
This tragedy devestated Deon and her parents. They all ended up moving a few months afterward to a more rural and ethnic-friendly city (where the House of Fears is located). Despite the suffering she had to endure, Deon has held up her clean reputation. She did it in order to prove all of her tormenters wrong that she can become a good person.
Appearance:

Name: Elliot Tamborino
Age: 17
Role: Student
Personality: Being raised in an Italian family, Elliot is very social and comical around other people. He's known as the school's clown. Although he's immensely popular, he doesn't participate in much misbehavior or illegal acts. He has kept the traditional Italian value of family. He's very proud of his Italian ethniticy, keeping the values and his accent. All his family get along well together, unlike many American families. Elliot is, for the most part, polite to other people but rarely does he step in when his friends are harassing other people.
Bio: The Tamborino family immigrated from Italy when Elliot was seven years old because of a city-wide animosity toward them. The family consisted of a single father and five children to which Elliot was a middle child. The hatred toward the family attributed to the affair that the father, Mauro, had against his wife, who was part of the city council. The Tamborino family business of an international food restaurant failed due to its dramatic drop in popularity.
Now in the United States, most of Elliot's family has shifted their behavior to that of an American way of living. He decides to keep his Italian traditions in spite of this. Elliot sees that the American way is very independent and competetive, without much regard to the well-being of the family. Mauro had opened a new international food restaurant and all of the siblings work there. Elliot also has a passionate talent for the guitar and has made a small-time band with other people at his school.

Name: Vanity (real name forgotten)
Age: Looks like early twenties (forgotten)
Role: Prisoner of the House
Personality: Vanity is extremely paranoid to the point where the little sound will send her fleeing on her feet. She constantly trembles and hides her grey face in her red cloak. If anyone talks, she'll often misinterpret the words as a threat or just get them mixed up with the voices in her head. Her actions are on impulse and are completely visceral. Seldom can she remember details between years or moments in the past. It's very hard for her to form a logical thought in her head since all she's been exposed to is fear and suffereing throughout the years. She'll often sings songs or poems at random moments.
Bio: Most of Vanity's life is completely forgotten due to the torture she has endured. She knows that she was an adolescent when she first entered the House of Fears and she believes that it was for an ambition of some kind she went in. She cannot remember what she was put under throughout her imprisonment but she seems to have a great fear of mirrors or anything that can give off her reflection. She hears threats, songs, and poems echoing in her mind all of the time. 'Vanity' is the word she hears most of all, so she began thinking it was her name and evidently isn't aware of its meaning.
