Alright, so there's this old, seedy looking gas station out in the middle of nowhere in Saskatchewan, Canada. It's located on an unnamed stretch of highway, with absolutely no nearby buildings or people. In it lives a relatively large family of poor, ratty, country-folk, not adapted to a social life or technology or anything like that. Anyways, there's been some disappearences of travellers who've passed by the station on their journeys (but never with any evidence of their actually stopping there) and therefore some rumors about what goes on at that gas station, shady rumors, about murder, and even darker ones about Satanism, cannibalism, and sick-minded tortures and the such. But it's not in anyone's best interest to investigate the matter, and you'd probably be considered crazy to want to anyways. Until one day, in the closest town in proximity to the station, an ex-military man moves in. Once the rumors start to get around to his ears, he grows more and more curious about the strange, ominous family inhabiting the lone structure on that stretch of road to the south...

And there you have it!

This is kind of an odd form of Storybook I think, but it deserves a go, yeah? Basically, you need to submit character descriptions for the people I will list below (I'll list the Character Requirements too) and after we get the characters down I'll start the story off in whichever location the story seems fit to start at. Then we'll take it from there :3. Hope you're up for some very creative template filling .

RULES
Swearing is okay, but remember, profanity is best used only when it makes sense to use it. Like, don't start talking about 'the fucking trees', but at the same time, if it makes more sense for your grumpy old lady character to yell 'Shit!' when she drops a rock on her toe, for God's sake use 'shit' and not 'Oh fiddlesticks!'
Graphic scenes/analogies/whatever are alright too, but also remember this isn't exactly one of the disgustingly graphic 'romantic' paperbacks your aunt probably reads, yeah?

OTHER STUFF I SHOULD MENTION
I know it's a pain to research everything you put on paper, but if you're talking about Satanism, or the geography of Saskatchewan, or any other bit of information that it'd probably be important to be accurate about in this story, please go the extra mile, so you don't end up sounding stupid and we can all be enlightened by your bit of research.
Also, the name of the town the military guy moves to is Denton, and the last name of the family there is Jenkin (both these names are up for debate).

I think that's it, so I hope this new template interests those willing to give it a try :3

Save for older Jenkins Daughter and if I can I'll make a random towns folk girl who wants to investigate to???

If not I'll stick with the older daughter.

No problem, throw her in too

Can you save a spot for the oldest Jenkin daughter?

I want a random traveler! Or something along that line, but, if not I want the younger daughter.

Can I have the older Jenkin son?

(If i may, here is my description of him)

Name: Cameron Jenkins.

Age: 16 or 17 (you decide)

He is a fair haired town boy with high hopes to become a succesful electrition. His regular baggy wardrobe doesnt suit his kind yet edgy attitiude. SOmetimes at night he will wake up just to sit on the couch and watch through his little sisters open door to make sure she isnt spying on anyone else. With a family secret, what will he do? Help the hot new ex-marine to unravel the family's secret, or stick with his fasmily? (If you didnt notice with the comment on the hot marine, the boy is gay)

Thanks a bunch.

Question: Can we start writing now, or wait til the characters are taken...?

Biffle

((Okay! My profile, here for your viewing eyes!))
Name: Hina Jenkins
Age:12
Personality: She's excited and curious, always running about poking into peoples business, spying on people, and listening intently on others discussions. She always flits around in some type of dress and tiara, pretending to be a fairy or whatever she feels like that day. She's quiet so you never see her coming and, if you catch her, she just giggles, gives some weird comment, and runs away. She's creepy and mysterious, doing things like bringing home disembodied animal parts she finds outside and saying random things or speaking in riddles. Sometimes, she could be watching you and you won't even know it...((Dun dun DUN! xD))

I claim Jenkin family mother.

Biffle,
I's thinking we would wait until all the characters were claimed first, but now I'm kinda thinking we'll just wait for someone to claim the last son and then the rest of the characters could be ones we'll just play around with.

Does anyone have feedback on that, actually?

I'll join. Watch this post for a profile.

Before we start, we're awaiting character profiles from Apple (for the older daughter), Forestqueen808 (for the oldest daughter), Kaywiia (for the mother), and Daisy131Spoink (who says she'll be posting soon). I kinda took the ex military guy since he's kind of a major character and I thought he needed someone to back him up. Here's his profile:

Name: Cap. Dale Groh
Age: 37
Personality: He's layed back, experienced, and tough, but he's really sweet. When he speaks, it's usually something smart or funny he has to say, and everyone seems to be drawn to him for it. He's open for love, but not looking for it.

First Character~

Name of character (1st and last) Diedrie Jenkins

Age of character (or approximation)16

Description of character's personality Bubbly and often taken for a little insane, Diedrie can be very sweet though also very angry and vicious when she wants to be.

Second Character~

Name of character (1st and last) Codie Rose

Age of character (or approximation) 15

Description of character's personality Brave and adventurous, Codie often acts like a boy to disguise herself when she wants to get around easier and not be seen by people who will immediatly report her to her mother.

**Both of them are open for love.

Name of character: Layla Jenkin
Age of character: 17? (is that good?)
Description of character's personality: Layla is bubbly and very sweet. She has a passion for music and is a straight A student. She does well in groups, and is a very successful leader. Oh, and she is athletic.

She has dark hair and bright blue eyes. She is thin, and slightly tan. But she is also muscular.

When are we officially starting?

Name of character: Eliza May Jenkins (Mother)
Age of character: 39
Description of character's personality: she is one of those 'miracle mothers' who allways will have a fresh batch of cookies in the oven and your lunch packed for you. She is always happy. And in her opinion, life is too short to be wasting getting good grades, unless you want to. She has a very do-what-makes-you-happy type personality.
