Character Bios


Ethan

Name: Ethan
Occupation: Video Game Store Clerk

If you looked up 'Video Game Addict' in the dictionary.... well, you wouldn't find anything. It's not in there. But if it was, Ethan's picture would almost certainly accompany it. His fanaticism concerning video games is the stuff of legends.

He still attends a bi-monthly support group as a result of his Everquest addiction, of which he is three years clean.

Ethan is a talented artist, but would rather procrastinate while playing video games than pursue the career he dreams about; creating video games. He also has a penchant for large quantities of alcohol that usually astounds people in the vicinity. He chalks it up to his Irish blood and artistic nature.

LucasName: Lucas
Occupation: Computer Sales/Tech

Lucas could be described as down to earth, and level headed, though extremely sarcastic and cynical. The counter-weight to Ethan's eccentrics, if you will. But in truth, he only appears this way when compared to Ethan. Lucas is a slacker at heart, and is always more than ready to choose a game of Halo 2 deathmatch over any activity that promotes energy expenditure and productivity.

While he fancies himself an amateur artist, Lucas' true skills lie in programming, and the coding aspects of computers. Like Ethan, he also one day hopes to be on a video game design company, but has yet to enter the field on any mod teams.

LilahName: Lilah (Lie-Luh)
Occupation: Professional Gamer

Shattering the age-old myth that girls don't play video games, Lilah enjoys a LAN party as much as the next guy. She's smart and beautiful, with a passion for a good first-person shooter. She quickly captured Ethan's attention, and though she is much more calm and responsible than he is, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to Ethan's silly, carefree personality.

Despite some bad past experiences with boyfriends, and guys in general, she has let herself trust Ethan, and they have been dating for over a year now. After their separate apartments burned down, Ethan and Lilah took the next step and moved in together. They are now engaged to be married.

Lilah is attempting to make a living as a professional gamer, after coming in third in her very first tournament. The catch is that she games her best when she's mad at Ethan over something. It's her secret weapon, so to speak, a fact that Ethan is still oblivious to.

Lilah enjoys long walks between dungeons in her favorite RPG's, romantic fragging by the glow of plasma rifle discharge, and sensitive... analogs.

Name: Ezekiel (a.k.a. Zeke)
Occupation: Video Game Console

During a bout of lonliness, Ethan dismantled his Xbox console, rebuilding it into a walking, talking, sentient robot. Dubbed Ezekiel some time later after an unfortunate humanity-seeking adventure, Zeke has become a close friend to Ethan.

Zeke has developed a slight distaste for humanity as a whole, which is overshadowed only by his desire to become more human himself.

Zeke also has an unsettling attraction to the Gamecube console.



ScottName: Scott
Occupation: Web Designer?

Scott showed up mysteriously, and it is assumed that he was answering an ad for a roommate that was place by the previous tenants, before Ethan and Lucas moved in.

Scott keeps mostly to himself. He has grown increasingly introverted, going to great lengths to protect his privacy. This behavior has piqued Ethan's curiosity, and he is determined to find out what it is Scott does in his room all day.

Scott is a Linux user, which also sets him at odds from Ethan, who will only accept Windows operating systems into his heart. Scott's closest friend appears to be his pet penguin, Ted. Nobody knows how Scott acquired a pet penguin, and Ted seems strangely more intelligent than your average penguin.


TedName: Ted
Occupation: He's a penguin for crying out loud.

Ted showed up with Scott, and hardly ever leaves his side.

Ted stays mostly in Scott's room, not in the least because Ethan is constantly trying to capture and kill him.

He also has a natural affinity to cold things, so he'll hover about the refrigerator or freezer at times as well.





BarryName: Barry
Occupation: Video Game Store Owner

Barry owns and operates GameHaven™, the video game store where Ethan works. He is pretty laid back (he'd have to be to employ Ethan), and mature.

Barry is a longtime gamer who realized his dream of running his own business. He is content and lives a satisfying life.

He is currently single.





RobName: Rob
Occupation: Annoying Jackass. I mean, Video Game Store Clerk.

Rob is that guy. You know that guy that everyone knows, who is the most annoying person in the world? Yeah, that's Rob.

Rob has an unhealthy obsession with first-person shooters, and above all, Counter-strike. Rob can't form three sentences without referencing Counter-strike in some manner.

He also has an annoying tendency to call everyone he meets "dude" or "guy". Repeatedly.

Rob works at GameHaven with Ethan and Barry. As annoying as he is, he's a good little worker drone, which is why he's kept around. He'll handle all the tasks Barry and Ethan don't feel like doing.

MickeyName: Mickey
Occupation: Computer Store Owner

Not much is known about Mickey, aside from his penchant for pissing off bratty customers.

Mickey is the manager at the computer shop where Lucas works. He has zero tolerance for stupidity, and often he and Lucas will have races to see who can drive stupid customers away the fastest.







Chef BrianName: Chef Brian
Occupation: Beef Potato Wheelman

Sometimes there is a sunset. In that sunset is cottage cheese.

It doesn't burn, because it's made of tar and asphalt. Eat it if you want head worms.

They know what you're thinking.







Player OneName: Player One
Occupation: Gamer

The Players are a particularly violent group of gamers. They solve all of their problems via bloody bouts with eachother, and they live happier lives for it.

Player One is blue, and a bit of an asshole.










Player TwoName: Player Two
Occupation: Gamer

The Players are a particularly violent group of gamers. They solve all of their problems via bloody bouts with eachother, and they live happier lives for it.

Player Two is red. He's a quiet sort of lunatic. The type everyone always says "was such a nice kid" after they find like, twenty human faces in his freezer.







Player ThreeName: Player Three
Occupation: Gamer

The Players are a particularly violent group of gamers. They solve all of their problems via bloody bouts with eachother, and they live happier lives for it.

Player Three is more shy than the other players. Of any of them, he's the closest resemblance to a normal, whole, mentally well person. As such he is often the target of gruesome acts of violence by the other players.






Player FourName: Player Four
Occupation: Gamer

The Players are a particularly violent group of gamers. They solve all of their problems via bloody bouts with eachother, and they live happier lives for it.

Player Four is the only female player. Don't look at her. Don't make any sudden movements, and don't make eye contact. If you don't move, she can't see you.

Just hold your breath and hope she doesn't turn her attention to you. I'm serious.
