#overhill

The no-eyed girl - a siren that lives deep within the forests of Oregon and can take on the shape of anything her target most desires. If this isn't a person, then she will probably turn into a big pile of food to lure you in

The Cash-Cloud - a cloudlike-being that Penny blames for stealing the money of the villagers of the small town she lives in. Certianly not an invention she soley came up with to hide the fact that she's actually the one stealing all of the money.

The common poltergeist - a relatively normal type of ghosts, usually hiding out in computers. They can be exorcised very easily

Darin and Laurena I can definetly see as knights. Both of them are strong enough to handle heavy armor and chainlink and stuff - so they'd have a traditional set of armor.

Ray on the other hand - I could see him dress like the old bard himself. Puffy sleeves, a frilled neck... Anything to blend in with the rest of the folk, really. Not seem too rich, not too poor. Not dirty. Just... Like everyone dressed back then.

Jake on the other hand would be dressed in rags all day. Something that CAN and SHOULD get dirty, so it isn't too much of a big deal once it is.

Yes, Em is the first entry on the list because... Everyone before him wasn't a Stanz, really. The name was choosen by himself - in his prime, Em was a wanted con-artist all across the US, became a better person and redeemed himself after meeting a mentor and ultimately started working at the FBI. The story of how I came up with his lore is very fun, actually! He's a Call of Cthulhu PC of mine where I didn't vibe with how my GM handeled him, so I turned hin into an NPC in one of my own settings... And also put him into the Overhill-lore. I figured with his criminal background he would make a very good relative for Penny. And even though my players managed to save him and get him out of everything in their play-through, he 'canonically' dies at the age of 42 during a shootout in the campaing.

1950 - ??? - Penelope Stanz

No, not OUR Penelope Stanz. But we'll get back to that. This Penny is Em's daughter. We don't know terribly much about her, other than the fact that she took what her dad never (really?) managed to accomplish and became an airline pilot within the 1970s or so. Also: Yes! Penny's dad decided to name his daughter after his grandmother - but again, we'll get back to that.

??? - ??? - Barbera Stanz

The family mamber we currently know the least about. Everything I scribeled down for her is that she's Penny's favorite grandma who would always tell her stories about her cool mom.

??? - ??? - Marvin Stanz (Somewhere in his early 20's in Outside, which takes place in 2025)

Now we're getting somewhere - This nice gentleman is Penny's dad... Who I put into Outside as a small side character because really, why the hell not? Marvin is as extraverted and talkative as everyone before in his bloodline and has a full head of curly hair which unfortunately is only shared by his youngest daughter. Him and Penny have a particularly close bond, since Penny is the one child that takes after him the most.

Regina, Katelyn and Penelope Stanz (65, 64 and 59 respectively at the start of the first Overhill-Novel)

Now we're REALLY getting somewhere! Penny is the youngest of three sisters and the only one who is really interested in her family's heritage, if only later in life. After a failed career in acting, she unknowingly picked up a job that seems to run in the family... And became a con-woman. Kate and Regina took up a much more secure career. We don't know a lot about what Kate did for a living before she retired, other than the fact that she is Ray's mother. Regina - the oldest - had an entirely different path in life: After serving in the Navy for a couple of years until giving up the military due to age, she now works as the captian... of a cruise ship!

Raymond A. Stanz (40 at the start of the first Overhill-Novel)

Here we are in the present - Ray was born with no siblings and aside from a few physical traits no seeming connection to his roots. He's relatively unaware of what is past relatives did - and I doubt that he'd ever be interested in researching it. Ray is a pragmatic man that spends his time worrying about the present and the future rather than being stuck in the past. All of the heat, extroversion and criminal energy from the generations before him have died down... Or have they?

Darin, Jake and Kayleen Overhill (16, 13 and 10 respectively at the start of the first Overhill-Novel)
