Title: NPCs
Post by: secretoracle on August 21, 2006, 10:20:14 AM
This will be a place for me to post things about folks that pop up in the game that are not exclusive NPCs to a particular player.

If you encounter an NPC in the game and want them put here for reference let me know.  Most of them will be sitting in my files here, and I'll usually oput prominent ones up here.


Title: Karl Landis - Principal, Oak Park High School
Post by: secretoracle on August 21, 2006, 03:06:17 PM
Principal Landis has been at Oak Park since 1990 and is considered a seasoned pro.  He's generally liked by the kids and only uses current slang when he knows it'll get a laugh.  He handles the schools administration and leaves the discipline up to the deans/vice principles, which rarely makes him the "bad guy".  He's due to retire in a few years and is looking forward to a relatively uneventful '06-'07 school year.

Title: Logan Darklighter - Senior
Post by: secretoracle on August 22, 2006, 12:55:24 PM
Logan is the kind of success story every freak and geek hopes for.  As a Freshman he had bad teeth, was skinny, and considered too brainy for the "in crowd".  Things change.

By his Junior year Logan had filled out, gotten his braces off and his hair had gotten long and shiny.  Girls started throwing themselves at him, and he got a whole new host of friends, but the best part was that he didn't give up his other friends.  The geeks and freaks.

Logan could be class president if he'd only run.  He's a straight A student who is on the track team and the debate team.  He probably knows everyone in school by their first name, and all the teachers love him.  There are a few, very cynical, students who think he's a fake, a total sell out to some kind of image and is completely phoney.

Title: Lisa Janush - Captain of the Cheerleading Squad - Senior
Post by: secretoracle on August 22, 2006, 09:31:05 PM
Lisa is quite possibly the most popular girl in school.  She's head of the cheerleading squad and is also in charge of recruiting.

Lisa is from a well off family, and has a style that is mimiced by a large slice of the schools female population.  If Lisa is wearing it today, five other girls will be wearing it by the end of the week.

She has a brother, Elrod, who is also a senior but she tries to pretend he doesn't exist.

Her father Charles is the head of the Booster Club and a huge football fan, supporting the school's football team since he went to school here forever ago!

Lisa is attractive, but she hates her nose and wants to get it "fixed".  She's hoping daddy will give it to her as a graduation present.  She is never without a boyfriend of her choice and is always on the lookout for new talent for the squad.

Megan Howell is the only Freshman on the squad, and Lisa was only too happy to recruit her for the team.  Lisa has told Megan that she'll help her get settled in at Oak Park.  "Girls on the squad look out for each other."

Title: Cleveland Heep - Science Teacher - Head of the Science Club
Post by: secretoracle on August 23, 2006, 09:20:36 AM
Mr. Heep is the head of the Science club and is considered by many in the geek crowd to be a cool guy.  He often helps students out with space for experiments and will help students struggling in various science subjects improve their grades.

Many of the geeks like him because he's one of them, even though he's an older adult he still seems like he relates to them, and they appreciate that.

He has a wide variety of skills and although normally teaches Chemistry and Physics can and regularly does fill in for the other science teachers from time to time.

He apparently got extra "cred" last year when he and one of his students caused an explosion in one of the science labs that closed school for a day.  Most of the teachers respect his academic abilities but many feel he becomes too friendly with his students, especially the Science Club kids.  He doesn't keep enough distance in their minds.

Title: Gretchen Ross - Sophmore
Post by: secretoracle on August 29, 2006, 07:37:21 PM
Gretchen Ross is a graphics artist who has agreed to do layout work for the Oak Park High School Paper, the Huskie News.

She's not an incredibly popular girl but is a serious artist and a solid 'B' student.  One of her best friends is Kirby Keger, one of the 'science nerds'.  Kirby and Gretchen have been friends since grade school and live only a few doors down from one another.

Title: Kirby Keger - Sophmore
Post by: secretoracle on August 29, 2006, 07:45:20 PM
Kirby is one of the 'science nerds' at Oak Park High.  Many of the teachers think he'll go far, if he can learn to be a bit more careful.  His high intelligence does not come with an equal measure of common sense.

Kirby is well liked by his teachers and the other staff, but is often the butt of jokes by his classmates.

Althought thought to be attractive, that fact that he's a nerd makes him off limits to most of the girls in his grade.

Title: Dave McBride - Senior
Post by: secretoracle on August 29, 2006, 07:50:50 PM
Dave is a senior and expected to graduate, but he's hardly motivated to do so.  He's considered by his friends to be the High Grand Poohbah Geek.  He possesses the knowledge of all things geekery.  Computers, games, books, movies, cartoons.  He owns a pristine original Star Wars collection and is offended that more people are not amazed by this. 

He has inherited 'VanGo' from his brother in college who has moved on to a better vehicle.  VanGo or rather VanNoGo is a beaten and abused dark green 3 row minivan with… seats.  Nothing much to say about it except that it has the capacity to bring people from one place to another which is a strange and wonderous power as far as his friends are concerened.

Title: Greg Pierce - Sophmore
Post by: secretoracle on August 29, 2006, 07:54:22 PM
Greg is Mr. Movie and not just Alien to Zathura.  He’s into every genre back to the beginning of film.  He has yet to turn any of his friends into true cinemafiles though they’ve seen some movies then they would have otherwise.  He usually dumbs down his movie quotes for the rest of his friends and makes them fantasy/scifi accessible.  Master of the handcam.  Often wears a shirt saying “Recording being made for your safety.”

Greg has recently joined the Drama Club to find more actors for his movies.  He's made several and managed to rope his friends into helping him.  He's looking for a broader pool of talent, well any talent actually.

Title: Robert Kramer - Freshman
Post by: secretoracle on August 29, 2006, 07:56:13 PM
Johnny Average.  If normality was a superpower he’d be the founder of the league.  Lately freaking out about his voice and girls and it took Sarah nearly a month of thorough beatings to teach him to stop staring at her chest.  He backslides from time to time and a full recovery is doubtful.

A solid 'C' Student he hopes to one day get married and have sex.  He'd prefer the sex thing happen sooner rather than later.

Title: Brian Parks - Sophmore
Post by: secretoracle on September 30, 2006, 10:44:17 PM
Brian Parks is a geek.  He's President of the Science Club, the Audio Video Club, and the Electronics Club.  He's incredibly smart, well spoken, and considered by some to be good looking.  He's still unlikely to get a date anytime soon.  Recently recruited by Laura Chapman into the Constitutional Debate Team he's hoping it will be a good place to meet girls.

Title: Laura Chapman - Senior
Post by: secretoracle on September 30, 2006, 10:47:46 PM
Laura Chapman is a brain.  She's pretty, but it's been only in the last year or so that she's gotten noticed.  She's a straight A student and thought to be a shoe-in for Class President.  She recently convinced Karen Pomeroy to be the faculty liason for the Constitutional Debate Team.  Now she just needs to find some people.

Title: Brendan Frye - Senior
Post by: secretoracle on November 03, 2006, 10:02:21 PM
Brendan Frye knows someone in every social strata at Oak Park High School.  He's generally considered obnoxious and rude, but others are quick to point out that he's actually just honest and direct.  Laura Chapman convinced him to join the Constitutional Debate Team.

Title: Breanna Hawkins - Freshman
Post by: secretoracle on March 22, 2007, 06:33:48 PM
Breanna is blind, and has been for most of her life.  She's a military brat, and has travelled extensively.

Title: Emma Phillips - Sophmore
Post by: secretoracle on March 22, 2007, 06:37:00 PM
Emma is an honor student and a dancer.  She's bright and outgoing but devotes much of her time to dance, which leaves little time for anything else.

Title: Elrod Janush - Senior
Post by: secretoracle on December 10, 2007, 12:24:15 PM
Elrod Janush is the older brother of Lisa.  Older by five minutes, but he might as well be years older.  He's from a wealthy family, but most people woouldn't guess it.

Elrod is the King of the Slacker crowd, and as such has lots of friends.  He has a band, and is a big party guy, or he has been the last three years, he seems to be mellowing out this year.

Title: Torrance Shipman - Senior
Post by: secretoracle on December 10, 2007, 12:36:52 PM
Torrance Shipman is the new girl.  She's the head of the cheerleading team, and quickly becoming the most popular girl in school.

Title: John Elliott
Post by: secretoracle on November 03, 2008, 08:49:16 PM
John is one of the Usual Suspects, although he spends less time with them than he used to.  He's from a long line of super heroes, but he's the first male to inherit the powers.

(http://www.kfaq.net/marvels/2011/Faces/John_Elliott.jpg)

John was the Quarterback for the football team this year, after the starter left the school.  He is generally liked, but seems a little cold to most people.  He's not really a jock, or a nerd, or anything else.

He really only fits in with the US group, and that's not a very tight relationship, although he is there when they need him usually.
