You're just like anyone else, really. You get up, you go to work, you pay your bills, you see your friends. No one would ever consider you to be unusual or exceptional in any way, and they would be mostly right.

Mostly.

The past few years, something has been following you. You don't know what it is, what it wants, or where it came from. Just that it's there.

In appearance, it may be mundane and commonplace, or perhaps it is bizarre and nightmarish. A person, or an animal, or some kind of strange creature. It never seems to show up in public, preferring to wait until you are alone, or rarely when you are with only one or two other people. Sometimes it is looking in through your bedroom window while you try to sleep. Sometimes it is standing alongside a quiet road as you drive home. Maybe it is among the trees during a pleasant walk through the woods. Or it might even be inside your home.

You've reacted as anyone would, of course. You've called the police, taken photos, even attacked it, all to no avail. Your friends and family might be sympathetic, or just think you to be crazy. But over time, you've realized that your stalker, or whatever it is, doesn't seem to have any malevolent intent. It simply watches, quietly, never speaking, never acting. While the visits aren't pleasant, they aren't harmful, either. You've simply become resigned to them, seeing them as a nuisance more than anything. You've done your best to move on, to lead a normal and happy life.

Life has now led you onto the road. You are traveling, for business, for pleasure, for getting lost. And your travels have brought you to Rainey, Iowa.

Rainey isn't much of a town- you've never heard of it before rolling in, and you'd be hard-pressed to find it on a map. Around fifteen thousand people, main industries are commercial farming and support services. The place is surrounded by fields of corn and soybeans as far as the eye can see. You almost feel like you're on an island in the ocean. The town seems nice enough- the locals are friendly, prices are cheap, the weather is flawless.

Except the only other people staying in the hotel all share your same problem.

And the deacon of the local church very much wants to meet you all, as well as your stalkers.

And no matter what road you drive on, you can't seem to find your way out of town.

Then things really start to get weird.

TL; DR
-Players are ordinary people who have experienced low-level supernatural phenomena for several years now. By some strange coincidence, they have all come to an isolated little town in Iowa.
-Players are being stalked by some sort of strange creature, but it hasn't ever done anything more offensive than just look at them. You will design your own entity- I would very much prefer original content to a dozen Slendermen. Your character has no idea what it's called, or what it wants.
