Kimberly (or Kim as she likes to describe herself) is one of the girls that thinks she's plain. She feels as if she doesn't have the face, body, or curves, of models. And in truth, she doesn't have the attributes that make them attractive. Not that really hindered Kimberly at all, she shunted that idea as she found her true calling. Yes, she still has the glasses that invoke a librarian look but the rest of her body says that she's an adventurer now. She usually has a smug smile on her face like she knows something that you don't. It's catty, and somewhat immature even - but a lot of people get the wrong idea about her just from the look. She's not as spastic and energetic as before but is a lot more mild and calm. Reserved even... even with the smile.

Kimberly is thin, but recently she has been paying a lot more attention to her physical fitness. After all, most of her time is spent running around. So, Kimberly has been hitting the gym, losing that little bit of pudge she got from before when she sat around. Which has done wonders for her skin... she's not pale as she used to be. Now, she isn't completely bulked out or anything but you can tell in a few years she'll be in a lot better shape. Her legs are the most toned and strong looking part of her body, however. She has blemishes on her face and a little bit of acne. She doesn't have any marks on her body, other than a few childhood scars that haven't faded. Her skin tone is the result of being primarily French, with a bit of German, and being distantly Blackfoot. As for the rest of her body, she has a banana body shape. Not a body with a whole lot of curves, her shoulders are around the same width as her waist. Her bust (32A) being fairly small, and the same with her hips, she doesn't have a whole lot of curves.

Before the girl wouldn't think of getting a tattoo. However, she decided to say fuck it and get a . Taking the appearance of a massive blue butterfly that takes up almost her entire back... it was the end result of a lot of money and many sessions. On her right arm, she has the tattoo of Rest in Power, Jordan Nichols surrounded by musical notes and vines. Which is weird because, in this timeline, she would have never met the girl. Separate from her tattoos is her sigil which is directly on the center of her forehead. For her other sigil, it's the symbol of a cockroach under her left foot. Ironically enough.

Kimberly dresses rather practically when she's out doing her thing. She likes clothes that suit the purpose of being a monster hunter. She wears combat boots (the more lightweight version because she still needs to run and climb shit), and military-style cargo/combat pants with lots of pockets - sometimes she wears jeans but special work jeans. As for her top, she likes to wears all sorts of stuff for the occasion. She isn't against wearing a tank top, but usually, she wears a jacket, hoodie, or even a trench coat. When she's not on the job she dresses rather unflatteringly. Kimberly doesn't have much of a figure so she doesn't bother and, unlike some people, she doesn't see the point of getting all dressed up if the situation doesn't call for it. She keeps it simple with jeans, a t-shirt, and a hoodie if the situation calls for it. When she's trying to dress to impress she has some semblance of style... a hipster style. She dresses conservative but wears sweaters, jackets, and all sorts of that jazz that are bright and colorful - and likes to wear dresses. Though she still sometimes wears boots, and she's the kind of girl who wears sneakers with a dress. Regardless of what she's wearing, though, Kimberly always has her trusty satchel slung around her shoulder.

So to begin, Kimberly was born as a native of Farmer Hill, Montana. Her family isn't particularly complex, her father's name was Leonard Walton, her mother's name was Constance, and she had a sister name, Bethany. Her father was retired from the army and settled down to work in Townhall, while her mother was a sheriff in Farmer Hill - the two met while in the service. Kimberly, at a young age, displayed a creative and fun-loving side that loved to read and enjoyed art but her parents had a different plan, they wanted their daughter to follow their footsteps. After all, it was apart of the family tradition to do this great honor... but it truly wasn't in Kimberly's best interests. She just wanted to be creative and fun-loving and all and that was something that Bethany shared too. The two girls were pretty much close childhood friends - Kimberly's only friend it seemed.

The family traveled a lot to other cities and Kimberly enjoyed it... but then they came back to boring old Farmer Hill. Kimberly often fixated on the photographs that they took while at beaches and other places and she longed to head back there - and these days she longs to go back to those days. Kimberly wanted every one of her moments to be immortalized and that's what created an interest in photography. It started with demanding to be the one to take the family photos and then it ended with Kimberly working to buy a hundred dollar camera. From here on in, Kimberly dreamed of going to Grand Ridge Academy and becoming the world's greatest photography and her sister, Bethany wanted to do the same. The two shared the same interest and eventually, they took photography classes together.

However, their subjects were drastically different. Where Bethany took pictures of the scenic Farmer Hill and tried to catch people's best moments, Kimberly's subjects were a bit more macabre. Kimberly was interested in the dark history of Farmer Hill and the Occultism that surrounded it... much to the chagrin of Leonard and the many other people who wanted to keep that aspect of Farmer Hill a secret. It was just the occasional picture of a cow skeleton, a pentagram that was drawn into the side of a building, and the site where an animal was obviously sacrificed. The two, occasionally got together to take photographs together but their completely different interests were hard to make work together. Though, things changed between the two after one faithful event.

Bethany was attacked one day after coming back from school, she claims by a man - but now Kimberly wonders if it was supernatural. After that, their relationship did a one-eighty; Bethany started hanging out with the rich preppy girls and started talking down and bullying people. Which included Kimberly as Bethany, whenever they were out bullied, belittled, and talked down to Kimberly in high school. It seemed to be for show as, whenever they were home, Bethany rarely bothered Kimberly and merely brushed her off whenever she tried to get a straight answer. Kimberly was hurt by the betrayal as the girl thought that she was her best friend and this bullying caused her to be the target for the entire town. However, this didn't last long as the two graduated and Bethany went to a prestigious college in LA.

Kimberly didn't know why, but she remained in Farmer Hill to attend Grand Ridge Academy. She told herself that she only did it to follow her original plan to go there to become the world's greatest photographer. Worst of all, Kimberly felt alienated from her own family by not abiding by their wishes and constantly got into arguments with her. It was quite clear they saw her as the black sheep for refusing to serve their country. It started with small things like not inviting Kimberly home for holidays to more or less kicking her out of the house. Worst of all, she noticed that they took down all the pictures that had Kimberly from their social media and it felt like her connection to the Waltons died.

Suddenly, Farmer Hill felt like a trap that she needed to escape... and it was uncomfortable running into them on the street. In Kimberly's spare time she went around Farmer Hill and took spooky pictures of whatever she could find - and sometimes of things that she made herself and put them on Instagram. Eventually, she got bored one day at one of the places something was sacrificed to a "Glutton" and decided to fuck around. She played the part of a ghost hunter and mocked getting attacked by a ghost and convinced a friend of hers that specialized in special effects to edit in some stuff. Then she put it on social media to some rather positive reception.

Which gave her the idea of, whenever the girl wasn't studying, to run this little web series of hers named Project: Worlds Unknown. It was a simple thing where she went around and acted the part of a ghost hunter that tried to rid Farmer Hill of phantasms or the curse that plagued the town. It gained some small traction to the point where the ad revenue put a little bit of money in her pockets. Though around this time a newcomer to the town name named Jordan Nichols... a black girl from Philadelphia with a messed up leg that wanted to pursue a degree in Photography as well. They were the polar opposites of each other in every way but that's what made them connect so well. Jordan needed a guide around Farmer Hill and Kimberly, well, needed a friend.

Eventually, the two were functionally joined at the hip with Jordan rarely going too far away from Kimberly (which lead to some rumors that they were in a relationship - which Jordan denied but Kimberly didn't). With Jordan helping out with Kimberly's show and all of that jazz. Kimberly and Jordan were best friends and there was nothing that could change that.

... Not even the discovery that the supernatural wasn't as fake as she thought it was. After a camping trip gone wrong due to Scott Reese, the town scumbag, getting possessed by the Glutton and going on a rampage. Kimberly escaped with her life but didn't realize it at the time but she Awakened. From then on, she helped the group whenever she could even though she didn't know of her abstraction. Kimberly noticed a strange trend with her friend, Jordan, and confronted her on it... and Jordan revealed that she was being hunted by a being known as "the Hound".

Jordan confessed what happened that messed up her leg, which made her so haunted and guilty: years ago she went on a drunken car ride on her cousin's, Madison Brown, birthday which ended with a car accident that killed her. Since Jordan was behind the wheel, she blamed herself for years for her death. However, as it turned out: that was not how things were supposed to go. As it turns out Jordan was the one that was supposed to die and the Hound wished to correct that. Kimberly vowed to protect her from the Hound and did just that.

From there, Kimberly assisted the group in their battle against the Glutton... which was getting more and more hopeless as the situation devolved into raving cultists and monsters wandering the town. Before the ultimate battle, however, the Hound came for Jordan and said that if she comes willingly, he'll help the group defeat the Glutton. Jordan, however, willingly gave herself up to the Hound. Kimberly tried to object but Jordan was dead set on this... and this ended up being Kimberly's biggest mistake. Before Jordan left, they had some parting words before Jordan gave Kimberly her abstraction: Temporal Pausing.

The group ventured into the mountain and defeated the Glutton - where she discovered her abstraction - bringing back all of their old friends and creating a new timeline without the Glutton. In this timeline, Farmer Hill was destroyed by an "earthquake" but magic was returned. It would have been perfect, but Jordan's cousin, Madison Brown, was also resurrected and Jordan died years ago. She apparently attended Grand Ridge Academy in Jordan's place. Against the advice of the Hound Kimberly showed Madison a recollection of what happened. From there Kimberly's family moved to Florida without her and Kimberly ended up moving to New York City to attend school on her own.

However, this wasn't right... Kimberly didn't want to pretend things were normal with the things that she has seen. After much thinking; Kimberly brought back her show... Project: Worlds Unknown. However, with a twist; Kimberly was actually battling the supernatural and Apparitions and recording it. Over time, her viewer base expanded to the millions - there were less theatrics, fewer special effects, and other fancy nonsense, but that was only because Kimberly was taking it seriously. Kimberly was eliminating Apparitions that were a threat across New York City along with becoming a celebrity and traveling to other places to help stop other Apparitions.

Though, she kept her ear to the ground. Kimberly knew the next big threat was right around the corner. It won't be as big as the Glutton but nothing could be on par with that thing.

And it wasn't long until she found it; Annabelle Heart. She started tracking a strange string of murders that started in rural South Carolina that went down south. Then she found out about Annabelle Heart after tracking her down and receiving a few Recollections about her. Kimberly found out more and more about the girl and what she had become and realized that she was a monster. And then Kimberly realized that she was the only one that would be capable of stopping her, being the only person knowledgeable in the supernatural and what she is.

Thus, Kimberly tracked her all the way from South Carolina to Tampa by following the destruction.

TYPE ⫻ Awakened

As for cameras, Kimberly has a Canon AE-1 camera, and an instant print camera she got off Amazon. If she had to choose one, she'd chose the instant-print due to its usage. Due to her adventures, Kimberly has a collection of dozens of Apparitions sealed in photographs but she also keeps a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 2.0 on her for protection.

Thorn is a skater, which is easy to tell by how he dresses. He wears a brown t-shirt with the Etnies logo on the front over a black, long-sleeved t-shirt, a pair of red jeans, black skate shoes with steel toes, and a baseball cap with a giant thorn stuck through is on each side, pointing behind him.

Jacob grew up with his parents and 3 younger siblings until he was about 10. The siblings were all very different but very well behaved, except him. When he was 10, his brother, John, and sister, Jessica, twins, were 8, and the youngest sister, Jennifer, was 6. His home life had been rather boring until that point, causing him to act out more to get attention. It was during one of these fits of acting out that he unintentionally hurt his brother with a baseball bat.

When he first met Alex, he was 4, and just started talking to the strange man with red hair. His parents thought he was talking to one of his siblings but became curious and concerned when there was no reply from the siblings. They became more concerned when he mentioned things he couldn't know. Over the years, he learned how to hide his conversations with Alex, either by making sure nobody else heard him or by disguising it as talking to himself. They became best friends quickly as Alex helped him with his schoolwork.

On the day of the accident, he'd had a baseball hanging from the backing fence and was swinging his bat as hard as he could to let out his frustration. He hadn't noticed his brother behind him. He felt the smack of the bat against something out of his view and turned just in time to see his brother's nose caved in and shooting blood. He screamed for his parents, who were nearby on the playground with his other siblings. His brother didn't make it to the hospital before he died.

Jacob had always been able to see ghosts, though didn't know they were dead yet. It wasn't until he saw his brother standing beside him as he watched the ambulance drive away that he realized what happened. He had killed his brother. His parents had never really believed he could see ghosts until he began telling them things that he couldn't know, only his brother could. He'd even spoken a couple of lines of the twin-invented language that he never understood. Then he let his brother take over his body and explain other things, just to show off more of what Jacob could do.

John and Alex didn't get along at first, though that was only because of their mutual distrust of each other for Jacob's mental health. Then more ghosts came and went, causing the pair of tag-alongs to share opinions about the new intruders. Many only stayed for a short time. Others stayed for a long time. A few never left.

Over the years, more and more people began to tell him to talk to a therapist with concerns for his mental health. When he was 16, he finally gave in and talked to one, letting him know from the start exactly what was going on. The therapist, of course, didn't believe him but tried to act professional about it by asking questions. Jacob, though he was going by Thorn by this point, managed to confuse the doctor by asking about a woman by name, only to have the doctor say that was his deceased wife. He continued asking about things he had no way of knowing about, secrets only shared between the man and his wife. Then he startled the doctor by letting his brother out. The doctor then understood completely what was going on. He told him what to do to keep from losing himself to the minds of the ghosts he took on, which Jacob was happy to comply with. Some time of silence and privacy every night helped him.

When he first heard about the coven online, he laughed it off. Alex, however, had been paying attention and, with John's help, began searching them out, finding them to be real. They reported their findings to Thorn, as he'd stopped going by his birth name entirely, and suggested he meet them and join them. He's been an active member ever since.

TYPE ⫻ Awakened

ABSTRACTION ⫻ Vessel. Thorn can allow alternate souls, usually of dead people, to take control of his body and fight for him.

ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻ Thorn has always had the ability to speak to ghosts, and it only made sense his magic would manifest through that. He can call upon any nearby ghosts to allow him new powers as long as they're in control. Whenever a ghost is in control, his eyes will change color to the ghost's aura color and an aura of their hair can be seen over his own. Sometimes, the ghosts choose to stay in his body, though he can force control back if necessary. Each ghost can only retain control for a minute before they're automatically forced out. He currently has 13 that stay with him but only 5 have any useful abilities that Thorn can safely handle.



AURA SENSING ⫻ Thorn can see and interact with ghosts.

LIMITS ⫻ (DO NOT FILL THIS OUT, I WILL PROVIDE IT FOR YOU)

WEAKNESSES ⫻ (DO NOT FILL THIS OUT, I WILL PROVIDE IT FOR YOU) [Request: Cannot discern between actual ghosts and other spiritual/undead beings.]
