Knowledge of the game not require!
Information about the town/orphanage: In West Virginia there is a small town called Silent Hill. Silent Hill is a small town situated around the edge of Toluca Lake and a large forest, with the older sections of town located to the north and along the banks of the adjacent river. Due in part to heavy commercial development, the town is fairly self-sufficient; it has a school, a shopping mall, a church, two separate hospitals, a sanitarium, and other stores and attractions. The majority of the town's businesses are locally owned mom and pop stores, with no apparent influence of chain stores or franchises beyond a burger joint called "Happy Burger". Old Silent Hill and Paleville hold large residential areas with both apartments and homes, as well as several motels and the grand Lakeview Hotel. The beachfront area of Paleville also has a lighthouse and hosts the Lakeside Amusement Park.
In Silent Hill there is an Orphanage called the Lakeside Orphanage. It is located on a large private lot on the outskirts of the town, and it is in between Toluca lake and a large forest. The orphanage consists of the dorms to the south end of the complex, the main building being in the center, a small playground besides the lake (east part), the visitor center in the north, and the parking lot towards the north east.
The Dorms consist of 3 floors each having small rooms, having only a bed, a dresser, a desk and a lamp. The Dorms also have bathrooms (also have showers ^_^) on each floor.
The main building has 2 floors. The first floor has the cafeteria, a wreck-room, bathrooms (regular ones), the headmaster's office, counselor's offices, janitor's closet, kitchen and a small church. The 2nd floor (the basement) has the boiler room, and a laundry room.
The Visitor center has 1 floor. Its main purpose is for those who want to adopt and for transportation (since it's besides the parking lot). The Parking lot has bus drivers (7 am- 4pm mon.-fri. and 8am-5pm Saturday- no Sunday) who deal with transporting the workers, visitors, and the orphans to and from Silent Hill.
Orphanage Rules:(Of course your character can break them if you choose to. Just beware of the punishments!)
1. lights out after 9pm (those 'caught' outside will be punished)
2. everyone must attend church (sunday 6pm to 8pm)
3. Everyone must attend school at Midwhich School (7:30am-3:30pm)
4. Meals are strictly served at 8am, 12pm (on weekends since you can eat at school), and 5pm.
5. No one is allowed to leave the orphanage grounds without permission.
Note: Visitor hours are from 3pm-6pm (Monday-saturday) No visitors on Sunday (Church day)
PLOT!!!!!:
The Lakeside Orphanage is not what it seems to be. Each day, one child disappears. Why? It is a mystery.
Unravel the secrets and discover the awful truth behind the orphanage, and uncover what "The Order" is.
(The plot is pretty basic so I hope it'll work ^_^)
Background information about "The Order":
During the American Civil War, the town served as a prisoner of war camp; after the end of the war, the prison used to house prisoners was converted into a state penitentiary, and shortly thereafter, Silent Hill became a resort town. Around roughly the same period, a group of religious zealots founded a series of small doomsday cults based upon the eschatology of the unnamed Native American tribe which occupied the land before settlers arrived. Collectively referring to themselves as "The Order", the cults, each of whom worshiped a different sub-deity, practiced human sacrifice and necromancy in an ongoing effort to resurrect "The God", an ancient deity which they believed would usher in an age of paradise by killing all humans. In order to fund their efforts, The Order dealt a psychedelic drug called White Claudia, manufactured from a plant indigenous to the town. The drug trade served to increase tourism to the town from the residents of surrounding areas, who traveled there to obtain White Claudia. The drug trade was eventually crippled, in the midst of a war between The Order and local authorities, during which members of the order murdered several police officers.
Silent Hill-
Silent Hill manifests itself in at least three distinct parallel layers, or dimensions: a normal, populated town; a quiet, seemingly abandoned town veiled by supernaturally thick fog; and a dark and decaying town (called the "Otherworld") filled with disturbing, hellish imagery. Only the latter two layers are explored by the games' protagonists, where demonic and disfigured creatures roam the streets and buildings (appearing in greater numbers in the Otherworld). Electricity and lighting are extremely limited or nonexistent as well. Occasionally, characters will transition between dimensions, and in some cases the dimensions may collapse into each other, creating an incoherent space called "Nowhere."
The different appearances of both the town and its inhabitants are made manifest from characters' personal fears, though not necessarily those of the protagonists. These manifestations may be shared between characters, or otherwise appear exclusively to only one of them. It is implied that Silent Hill always held a supernatural presence, but the town's violent and deadly history since the early modern period had perverted these energies into something darker.
Storyboard Rules!
1. no godmodding
2. no sex
3. keep language min.
4. no killing characters without permission
Character Profile:
NAME: Put your characters full name – first, last, and any nicknames that he goes by. Make sure the name creates the right mental image of your character; a Bill causes a completely different image than a Byron.
BIOGRAPHY: Write a description of your character’s life; past and present. Where was he born, how was his family life – has his past affected him in any way? What does he do now? Who are his friends and where does he live? Don’t make it too long – a paragraph will do.
AGE: If you don’t know the exact age of your character then you can put it’s approximation, such as late thirties, mid-twenties etc.
APPEARANCE: What does your character look like? (Pics are OK)
HEIGHT: How tall is your character?
WEIGHT: You probably won’t know your character’s exact weight, but I’m sure you can guess its approximate one. Is he really light – or a little more weighty?

EYES: Be specific about the color. Ice blue creates a different character than sky blue. And what is the look in the eyes – is it hard? Nervous? Or does it have a twinkle?
HAIR: Put not only the color, but also the style. Is it long and curly – short and spike – or maybe it’s died blue and shaved into a Mohawk. Again, make the color specific. Instead of brown hair, put red-brown, chestnut brown, or maybe it’s actually the color of dried mud

BEST QUALITIES: List three or four of you characters best qualities
WORST QUALITIES: Even the “good guy” has a few faults. What are you character’s?
WEAKNESSES: What is the main weakness in your character’s make-up? What is his “Achilles heel”? Is it that he’s not real smart…or maybe he has trouble getting along with other people.
HOBBIES: When he’s not being thrashed about in your plot, what doe she like to do?
TALENTS: Is she an expert artist? Or cook?
