(okay, this is an rp i had on another site, not many people got on that site at the time so it died after two posts, so i wanted to try it out here since there seems to be more people)
The founding families' ancestors Shepherd, Holloway, Bartlett, and Fitch brought with them an oath from Silent Hill. to keep the newly founded village safe, they pledged that every fifty years, one child from each founding family would be sacrificed.
The Bartlett line has always been full of mayors. Holloways, they are the judges. Fitches are doctors and nurses and surgeons more often than not, and the Shephard family goes either into war or into police service. No one knows why; it's just how it is. There's no influence on the children; they grow up and that's what they want to do, continue the family tradition.
Of course, the children usually aren't told of the town's darkest secret; sacrifices to appease an unforgiving God happen every fifty years. Fifty years ago, this was broken by an accident; the wrong Shephard child was killed in water and a terrifying mist overtook the town. This matter, of course, was fixed and the town renewed itself. Soon, everybody who knew what had happened had passed away; the families continued on.
As the Bicentennial Celebration approaches, the parents of each chosen branch of the families has to prepare for this. It doesn't matter if they have only one child or two; infant or adult, it doesn't matter. There are other branches of the families in Shephard's Glen; they can continue the family line. It's a brutal way to live in a messed up place.
You've noticed that the 'chosen' kids - though you obviously don't know this - are becoming more and more withdrawn, less people-friendly and they no longer come to school. They haven't been told of their forecoming fate; and only the Keeper of Lore generally knows about it. Maybe you are one of these kids; maybe your parents have more or less treated you as a pet: fed you, clothed you, washed you, put you to bed as though it were a mere chore. Of course, if you're an only child you may have noticed your parents spoil you considerably.
Suddenly, one day both the Bartlett kids vanished. A mysterious fog has wrapped the town in a shroud, and it seems like no matter how hard you try to leave, you just enter the town on the other side. Scary creatures haunt the shadows, and the safest place to be is either the school building or your home.
Whenever you're out walking around, sometimes you hear an eerie grating noise, like metal on the pavement behind you; yet you see nothing when you turn to look around. However, it brings to mind an old fable-song you heard as a child:
Where is Steven, mommy? He can't play and I'm sad.
You mustn't ask, my darling- Steven has been bad.
Billy too, and Sally? Did they do something wrong?
I'm afraid it's true, child- all your friends are gone.
Beware of he who took them- he goes by many names.
The Bogeyman, the Shadowed One, but all are he, the same.
For every sin a child has, must be a punishment to bear.
Your friends are now beyond our reach; trapped deep within his lair.
And if they take what is not theirs, there can be no doubt.
He'll stretch their skin until it snaps, and all the blood drains out.
Remember to always behave, for sins he won't abide.
He wields a rusty, jagged blade, to cut out your insides.
The lying little children, with souls selfish and small.
Will find their wriggling tongues cut out, and nailed to the his wall.
The bullies and their spiteful wrath will find torment as well.
Soon he will strike them where they stand and drag them into hell.
Child, you must obey your parents; do everything they say.
Little ones who do otherwise, he tortures in the flames.
Beatings cleanse the soul, they say, and that is what he'll do.
If you don't control your anger then you'll feel his anger too.
You are your brother's keeper, remember it always.
Or else, the Bogeyman will chain you underneath the waves.
And while good children live, bad ones cannot escape their fate.
For once you hear his screeching wail, it's already too late.
So do not cry aloud at night, stay hidden in your bed...
Or the Bogeyman from Silent Hill will come chop off your head.
will you and your friends survive this hellish land? its time to find out.

personality: she can be a bit scatterbrained. She will believe in anything and draws conclusions from almost nothing. She lives in a sort of fantasy world and can even make other people believe what she says is true. She seems looney and off her rocker but she is very nice and helpful.But she can be strong willed when she is scared or angry, and she will do anything to help friends in need.
history: When she was very young she became very ill, she couldnt leave her bed for days on end. She slowly started to lapse into a sort of catatonic state. She could hardly learn anything after that. After her sicnesss lef she continued school but struggled with every subject. But she wasnt, she was only struggling because the sickness had efected her brain. She began to blurt out the first thing that came to mind and couldnt sensor her rudeness. She started dressing crazily and was to crazy for her parents to handle. So they sent her to her aunt and uncles house in shpards glen.
weapons: baseball bat, and a small steak knife.
