reader beware...you're in for a scare

#97 - This is the main story that I am working on currently and the one you will hear me talking about the most. It's about a horror author in 1987 dealing with her vampire in-laws.

Heather Devlin (she/her) - The main character of the story, a horror author who recently started working from home, and she's pregnant with twins. Also turning into a vampire. She likes animals, gardening, and body horror.

Lou Devlin (he/him) - A vampire guy who is the husband of Heather/father of the twins. He's kind of squeamish when it's not stuff related to actually biting people himself. A bunch of daddy issues and some mommy issues also. Would be a hermit if he wasn't married.

Angelica Dreyfus (she/her) - A pastry chef at a fancy restaurant, tea drinker, and cat owner. Sometimes I imagine her as a vampire but that's not canon yet. Technically started in a different story that I deleted, so now she's the bff of the main character, and her next-door neighbor. Adoptive mother of Cleo.

Joan Zhang (she/her) - Sometimes called Lucy or Ruth in old posts because I keep changing her name. Angelica's girlfriend, works in a laboratory, generally uninvolved with the whole "vampire" thing.

Scotty Price (he/him) - A friend of the main character (closer with Angelica than Heather) who wants to be an actor but he kind of sucks at it. He's very good with writing though and has created some story scripts. Also getting creeped on by some vampires.

Neil Lancaster (he/him) - A friend of the main characters, a hardworking man who is also interested in writing, but has recently been turned into a vampire and trying to ignore it to make it go away. He is he father to Maura, who is Cleo's close friend.

Beau Devlin (he/him) - Heather's father-in-law who had issues even before the vampire thing. He was also out for a bit so now he's getting adjusted to 1987.

Claire Devlin (she/her) - The mother of Lou who faked her death at some point and is dicking around Florida or something.

Beatrice Devlin (she/her) - The eldest child of Beau and Claire. She is an artist living in NYC and getting back with her ex-girlfriend currently.

Benny Devlin (he/him) - Older brother of Lou who's also good friends with Heather and Veronica too. He used to be a ballet dancer in older versions but I'm not sure where to go with that now. A very kind, but not nice/polite type character.

Sandy Hart (she/her) - The vampire who turned Beatrice into a vampire and caused the whole plot to happen. Fun fact, her inspiration was "Countess Marya Zaleska but butch and she dresses like 1920s Bela Lugosi"

Veronica Speedwell (she/her) - A young woman who works as a phlebotomist and lives as Benny's roommate. She is very familiar with the whole vampire thing but has an interest in vampire hunting.

Jasper Malcolm (he/him) - Biology professor who is friends of the main characters, kind of a minor character, but he did introduce Lou to Heather. Husband of Dina.

Dina Malcolm (she/her) - Heather's good friend throughout childhood, recently reconnected with her. Works at a jewelry store. Pretty rich. Wears only pastels or white.

Tabitha Malik (she/her) - The older sister of Heather, who still lives with her stepfather, Bobby.

Paul Danvers (he/him) - The boyfriend of Scotty Price, and single father to Austin Danvers. He also has a sister Piper and brother-in-law Luther, who are both rebooted characters from an old story I used to write.

Porter Sheridan (she/her) - A neighbor to the Devlin and the Dreyfus Zhang families, also a vampire hunter. Has a crusty white dog.

Marilyn and Daria are the twin daughters of Heather and Lou, who spend most of the stories as fetuses, but sometimes I post epilogue stuff about them when they're older.

#6139 - A story on the backburner, doesn't really have a solid plot yet. This is loosely Scooby Doo inspired, so while I'm going a different direction, you may still see me referring to the characters based on who inspired them.

Casey Isa (he/him) - A panicky young man with a promising chef career...if he can get this whole werewolf thing under control. Currently, he works in an antique store run by Darcy, who is attempting to help him deal with his lycanthropy.

Vanna Nero (she/her) - The girlfriend of Casey and a young woman with a passion for crafts and animals. Also lives and works with Darcy.

Darcy Aldcroft (they/them) - A cool old wizard. Kind of a mentor figure to the others.

Mabel Calloway (she/her) - A bartender who Darcy is dating.

Vic Delisle (she/her) - A woman with a desire to be a costume designer for period pieces, but currently, she's dealing with the fact that she can see ghosts and stuff.

Noah Haim (he/him) - A car mechanic who went to high school with Casey, Vic, and Lola. Has a crush on Vic.

Lola Castro (she/her) - An archaeology student who went to high school with Casey, Vic, and Noah. Also has a crush on Vic.

Adrian Nero (he/him) - Possibly an evil wizard? Dresses like a vampire. Older brother of Vanna. Scares Casey to death but he doesn't mean to.

Max and Grace Schallert (he/him and she/her, respectively) - Fraternal twins who are actually reboots of some characters I made in middle school. They're probably friends with Adrian.

#8286 - A very old story, but sadly, one that I don't think/post about very often. Titled Technophobia and set in the distant future of 2013, a science fiction world where everyone lives in malls.

Andrea Oleastro (e/em) - An investigative reporter who watches too many action movies and always risks eir life for the story. Was recently almost murdered, resulting in em becoming a cyborg, and stuck with a self-help bot. Very stubborn and impulsive.

VITA (they/them) - The self-help bot who takes the form of a screen in Andrea's new chest. Generally frustrated with their job, programmed to feel useless if not working.

Gabriel Marquez (he/him) - The closest friend of Andrea, collects a lot of computer related things, generally a nerd.

Oz Tonite (he/him) - A hivemind of mascots created by an evil entertainment corporation. Most interactions with him are in one of the TVs he occupied, owned by Gabriel but dumped on Andrea when he gets too annoying.

SmartBoy™ (it/its or he/him) - A giant, jacked computer created by an evil corporation. Does a bit of arson.

Houson Barrett, Jr. (he/him) - Only goes by the nickname "Sonny." The CEO of major tech corporation in this world, and the one that nearly killed Andrea in the first place. Married to a former child actor named Audrey, pretty private about his personal life, despite his whole career being built on spyware.

Lucas Bianchi (he/him) - A former child star turned famous action movie actor, also the brother-in-law to Sonny. Andrea watches all of his movies and has a crush on him.
