Both of those are excellent choices, the latter more so than the former, but even still...

I'll post some links to pictures of demons/locals to draw some more inspiration from, as well as my CS once it's done.

CS

Name: Eric Appleby
Age: 19
Appearance: [url=http://www.sitcomsonline.com/photopost/data/2991/heartthrobs_10_.jpg]Him[/url]
Bio: Eric was always in an odd spot in high school, being a year older than most others in the school due to his overprotective parents keeping him back his freshman year. Now, he is by no means dumb, but his athletic and an arguably arrogant air about him, Eric found himself labeled as just another jock. His interest in paranormal studies and film-making was mostly ignored by his peers, except for his long time friend Sara, his only true friend in an otherwise stereotypical high school existence. They both would wander around the older parts of town and on occasion had explored local "haunts", but to their dismay never really found much. Truth be told, he didn't really care, as spending time with Sara was all he truly wanted to do. She was extremely popular, yet didn't fit into any label, and he was absolutely gaga over her. He even kept an old photo of her and him in his wallet, taken from a photo booth at a fair a few years back. She had kissed his cheek playfully, but that was the spark he needed to see all he wanted was her. So when word came back that they were going to be able to spend Senior Break together on a road trip, Eric decided this would be the time he would make his move and hopefully the feeling would be mutual. Either way, he was certain this would be one hell of a trip.
