Character Profiles:

 Felix, Melanie, Chad, Rose, Clinton, Sonia, Fuzzbuns

 Felix K. Legard

 Original introduction

Our protagonist, Felix Legard, is a confident but often confused individual. He is 20 years of age. With shaggy, soft brown hair and stunning blue eyes, many find his face his most attractive feature. He has a slim build and is not very muscular. What he lacks in strength, however, he makes up in cunning. Felix is intelligent and can often get what he desires through manipulation of others. That said, he still cares for others more than he likes to admit. He lives with his dad during the Summer and lives on his college's campus for the rest of the year. He is currently unemployed. His deepest secret, which he has shared with only one other person, is his curious mind. He knows he is not crazy, but he has many unique voices inside his head that help him make decisions.

Parents: Chad and Rose
Relationship: Dating Melanie

Killed: Stan

Status: Going deeper and deeper into the rabbit's hole...

 Melanie Swinson

 Original introduction

Our story's quickly developing co-star, Melanie Swinson, has been in Felix's life for a long time. Not the stereotypical "childhood friends," but Melanie moved into Felix's hometown when he was 10 years old. Melanie is 18 years old (two years younger than Felix). She has long, shiny brown hair and playful green eyes. No one would ever say she isn't a babe. However, for some reason, ever since she met Felix in elementary school, she's never given another guy a chance, despite numerous attempts. She's shy but doesn't like to admit it. She's smart but often acts too flaky for her own good. She just graduated high school this year and plans on attending the same college as Felix. She, too, is unemployed currently and lives with both of her parents. She's always suspected something is "unique" about Felix and tries to stay in his life, even though he constantly avoids and fights with her.

 Fuzzbuns

Saved by Felix when she was a newborn kitten, Fuzzbuns has been in his life ever since he was 10 years old. One day, while playing under his front porch, Felix heard the sweet, innocent "Mew...Mew..." of an abandoned kitten. Apparently unworthy of her mother's love, Fuzzbuns was left to die...all alone. Felix's heart opened and Fuzzbuns crawled inside. Ever since that day, she has been the Legard's faithful furball. The adorable name of Fuzzbuns was given to her by Felix after he noticed how absolutely fluffy and precious she was going to grow up and be. During the years after Felix's mother left, Fuzzbuns was always there to remind him he was never alone...and that his lap never needs to be cold.

 Gledenberg

Gledenberg is the town Felix and Melanie live in. Its population is a mere 3000. There isn't much of great excitement to do in Gledenberg. One of the most important things is its technological factory, NewFuture, which put Gledenberg on the map and attracted many people to the town. Their famous restaurant, Speedy Sam's, is a popular place to meet and eat. Besides random stores on main street and a few gas stations, there isn't many opportunities for work, especially in the current economic crisis. The main attraction is of course the huge natural lake not far outside of town, known by residents as Crystal Waters for its constantly serene appearance.
