                        🚨🚨 WANTED CHARACTER!! 🚨🚨
                                                 “THE BELIEVER”
                                            “We thought that was a myth.”                                                      “Well, you were myth-taken.”
plot: meddling kids title: The Believer age: somewhere between 20 - 26 sexuality: UTP gender: we’d strongly prefer a character who identifies as male, or nb some FC’s to consider: Harris Dickinson, George Mackay, Jay Lee, Alex Wolff, Justice Smith, Ryan Potter, Charlie Rowe, Skyler Gisondo, Marlon Langeland, Joe Keery, Lucas Bin Wanna know more? Keep reading below the cut!
First, a little bit about the group:
Meddling Kids is a 3x3 private rp group basically inspired by every piece of "meddling kids” media ever (Mystery Incorporated, the plucky Losers Club, the kids from Stranger Things, the novel Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero, countless tropey horror movies, as well as a little sprinkle of the Amnesty arc from The Adventure Zone). The setting is gonna be a small town in West Virginia (name pending) where the Meddling Kids™ are just a group of local youths with varying levels of interest in sleuthing/mystery-solving/ghost-hunting, etc. and various relationships to each other. The group isn’t really going to be a group yet at the outset, so the plan is that they’ll come together to solve their first mystery- a case of some unsolved murders in their very own hometown- and that experience will solidify them as a team for future adventures. Everyone knows that going through freaky shit together makes for good group bonding!!!!
The pace/activity level of this group aims to be very casual and low stress, but we are looking for a long term commitment! Mostly because it’s so small and because all of us who are already onboard will definitely be in it for the long haul, we don’t want to have to recast this role over and over again and try to integrate a different character into the ongoing story. There is no specific activity requirement because we all lead busy lives, but we want to be able to progress through plot arcs without worrying about someone ghosting completely. So that’s something to think about before you apply! You also gotta be willing to join a group discord and engage with us ooc for plotting, character development and just for memes & goofs!
The structure of this group will also be a little bit different. Since an ongoing plot requires the kids to actually, y’know, solve mysteries, the idea we have is to share the responsibility of creating these mysteries equally. Everyone would get a turn crafting a “story arc” revolving around a mystery/haunting/cryptid/etc of their choosing (or of their own original creation), sorta in the same vein as writing and DM’ing a D&D campaign. For those of you familiar… think of it as passing around DM duties, so that each of us gets a chance to run the show while the rest are along for the ride! The specific mechanics of this will be worked out after our first mystery (which will be developed collaboratively), but just like the last bullet point, it is something to take into consideration before you choose to apply!
About the gang:
who are the members of this meddling gang of kids?? so far, we’ve got…
Adam (played by moi, @femmefatale-rps) and Connie Meyer (played by @starlesswaters), siblings who work at the town’s family-owned funeral home with their father. Adam is a shy, reclusive medical tech who spends most of his time down in the morgue with Dad, more comfortable doing autopsies and embalmings than interacting with living people; Connie, capable and practical, runs the business side of things and is also a touch-psychic à la Theo from Hill House, but no one knows about that because she’s been relying on the germaphobe excuse and wearing gloves all her life. Even Connie herself doesn’t really know what to make of her powers. 
Then we have Connie’s boyfriend, Dave (played by @marchingonebyone), a certified Himbo, pure of heart and dumb of ass! He’s an ex football player, current realtor & an all-around Good Dude who doesn’t love getting involved in this spooky stuff, but is tagging along to be a supportive boyfriend and also to make sure that no one gets hurt! He doesn’t always fully understand what’s going on but he means well, and will selflessly throw himself in the path of danger for his friends.
We also have Penelope Wilde (played by @liilyjames), resident hot girl who seems exactly the type to Die First In A Horror Movie, but because she was raised in a kind-of cult (you have to be a level 4 friend to unlock that backstory), she’s got some surprising skills and a lot more going for her than just good looks. Think Daphne Blake, but with a much more chaotic alignment.  
Then we have the catalyst for the formation of the gang: Naomi (played by @evaduartes), the sheriff’s daughter, a bookish true-crime addict whose obsession with the unsolved and unexplainable led her to discover a string of cold murder cases right in her very own hometown, gathering dust in the police archives for decades… as the gang’s Nancy Drew, she strongly believes in getting to the bottom of things (and will also dry heave at the sight of blood, guts, or anything gross).
About our wanted character:
Disclaimer: These aren’t strict requirements, so much as suggestions that we’ve come up with to shape the character towards what we feel the group is lacking. Feel free to make adjustments and take liberties especially in regards to backstory, personality etc…, As long as the end result still fills the needs we have, I’m sure we’ll love it!
Now, read on for some loosey goosey bullet points regarding our missing link, the sixth group member: The Believer
In our current cast, we mostly have skeptics and those who are on the fence about the existence of the supernatural. Some characters are more inclined to believe if given the right kind of proof, others are rationalists who will probably insist on logical explanations even after a ghost fully starts Poltergeisting shit in front of them. To complement this, we’re looking for a true believer: a tinfoil hat motherfucker who is not only 100% convinced that supernatural/paranormal phenomena exist in this world, but also possesses an impressive catalogue of (possibly Wikipedia-based) knowledge about all things freaky, weird and unexplained. His particular areas of interest/expertise (ghosts? aliens? west virginia cryptids? all of the above?) are up to you, but we definitely want someone who won’t settle for the boring “logical” explanation when clearly, it’s the long-dead ghost of Mrs. Withershire who is haunting the halls of this condemned orphanage! Open your eyes, fools!
This character is after proof to back up his beliefs (not because he needs convincing, but because the rest of the world does) and for that reason, he will also function as the group documentarian: maybe he’s got some basic techie skills, some AV equipment thanks to that job at Radio Shack and those sweet employee discounts, and/or some ghost-hunting gadgets won in bidding wars on eBay. Maybe it’s just him and his shitty SONY camcorder against the world. However equipped you choose to make him, and however successful you want him to be in his pursuit of evidence, we’d basically like him to fill the essential role of capturing footage which may factor into helping gang discover important clues. 
As far as personality/backstory beyond these two specifications, we want to leave that as UTP as possible…. but here are some notes from all of us: we can see him providing the group w/ comic relief and being one of the “less serious” members (though obviously, no multi-dimensional character can be Comic Relief all the time and we certainly don’t want anyone to limit their creativity like that). Another fun possibility would be to bring some reckless, wild-card Shane Madej energy to the team (exhibit A- begging to be possessed not because he doesn’t believe, but explicitly because he does). Other than that, feel free to take him in whatever direction your heart desires. If you wanna discuss any of the above bullets, or have any other questions, feel free to message us!
About applying:
We are forgoing any sort of formal application process for this role bc a) we’re not writing full biographies for any of our characters so we won’t be making anyone else do that either and b) we are really don’t want to go through the rigmarole of reading lengthy apps and judging people’s interpretations when really this character idea could be interpreted in lots of different ways, none of them incorrect. SO instead of all that, if you are interested in participating in this type of group and playing this particular type of character, what we’d like to see is:
An overview of your ideas for this character; maybe a little bit about their backstory, their personality, how they might be connected to other members in the group (or not connected! An outsider perspective is just as valid!), how you can see them getting involved, etc. Throw in whatever tidbits or details you like, and don’t worry about formal presentation. We won’t be evaluating you on your writing style or even the completeness of the character you present us with, because we’re all in the process of fleshing out our kids & a lot of that will come organically with time. We’re really just looking for what kind of ideas you bring to the table and whether your version of this character is one that we vibe with!
We’d also like to see a writing sample or two of your choice. Again, our goal is not to be critical of people’s different writing styles, but because those of us in the group have found that we all write well together, we want to be sure we’re inviting someone into the fold who we’d be comfortable writing with and who would be comfortable writing with us too. If you want samples from any of us (which is only fair), please feel free to ask and we will happily provide!!!!
And lastly, talk to us about why you wanna join and whether you think that you’ll be able to commit for the long-term. And be honest! I’m a grad student who’s going to be graduating soon and my life is a constant toss-up between hellishly busy and completely boring, so I’d be honest to say that there will be periods of time when I’m able to be invested 24/7 and others when I won’t be able to write for weeks at a time. And that’s fine! As long as we’re all committed to keeping this group going and finishing story arcs at our own pace, we’ve got the makings of something really fun on our hands :’’)
Because we may get more than one person interested in this role, as is the nature of these things, we can’t guarantee that the spot will be yours- but we will set a date by which we’ll get back to you about our decision and that will hopefully be sooner rather than later! 
Other than that, I think I’ve dumped all the info I need to dump for now. Feel free to message me or the rest of the gang with any questions :)
