[@kalanggam] great list! I actually also live in a smallish college town, so this list is funny to me because of how much of it I recognize. 

A quick note: this is in the western part of Virginia, not West Virginia. It probably doesn't matter a lot, but I wanted to nip that confusion in the bud. 

My own character idea is a young townie. Big awkward gay mechanic. Their family runs a local mechanic shop that's been there for generations. They actually went to SHU for their Auto Tech program, so any of the characters who were upperclassmen might have seen them around for some basic classes, and/or orientation.
