Shawna
Carsh:
A
beautiful young girl with a dark past. She puts on a brave face but
she is hurting inside day after day. One of the nicest girls at
Elliot's school but she doesn't talk to him or his friends.
Lines:
“Shawna?
What are you in for?”
“Oh,
you know,” she said nonchalantly, “got caught doing my makeup in
class. Apparently that's a sin now. What'd you do?”
“Robbed
a bank,” said Elliot calmly. “I tried to stash the money in my
desk but Haney caught me. Wish he'd let me keep it.”
They
both laughed at this.
“Seriously,
though,” she said. “What'd you do?”
“Nothing
serious,” said Elliot. “I was falling asleep in class. It's
Haney's fault really. If he wasn't so boring I'd be able to stay
awake.”
Shawna
smiled. “So, Elliot. I was wondering-”
“What
the hell are you doing,” Shawna asked. “You're going to get us
all in trouble.”
“Lighten
up, babe,” said Felix, a stupid grin on his face. “Rules were
meant to be broken.”
“Shut
up, Lardo,” Elliot said. “You are such an idiot.”
“Why
don't you make me,” Felix said, walking right up to Elliot.
“You're
not worth it,” said Elliot nonchalantly.
“Just
stop, Felix,” said Shawna. “What are you trying to prove.”
Ad
Lib: Talk about your day at school. Be sure to put on a happy face.
This is the kind of thing where it would be good to sound almost too
happy. Like you're not really as happy as you say you are.
Felix
Logan:
A
bully at school. He is very fat and very stupid. He spends most of
his time getting detention and shaking down kids for their lunch
money.
Lines:
“Well
look who we have here,” Felix said, spotting Elliot. “What are
you doing here, dorkenstein? Shouldn't you be out playing with your
dolls or something?”
“Lighten
up, babe,” said Felix, a stupid grin on his face. “Rules were
meant to be broken.”
“Shut
up, Lardo,” Elliot said. “You are such an idiot.”
“Why
don't you make me,” Felix said, walking right up to Elliot.
“You're
not worth it,” said Elliot nonchalantly.
“Just
stop, Felix,” said Shawna. “What are you trying to prove.”
“I'm
proving that dorkenstein here is a coward. He's too afraid to fight
me.”
“I
just told you, idiot,” Elliot said, getting angry, “you're not
worth fighting.”
“You're
just a coward,” Felix smirked. “Why don't you go home and cry to
your mommy? Oh that's right, you can't.” Felix cackled in glee.
Ad
Lib: Think of a bunch of insults to throw Elliot's way or think of
something bad to say about the teachers in the school (or the school
itself)
Victor
Kain
The
history teacher at the school. He is something of a recluse. He only
appears when he has classes to teach and spends most of his time in
his study. When teaching, he spends most of his time connecting
random historic events to one another.
Lines:
“What
is it,” Haney snapped.
“I
need a word with you,” said Kain, “privately.”
“Can't
this wait, Victor. I'm in the middle of-”
“No,
Harold,” Kain interrupted. “This is urgent.”
“Fine,”
Haney sighed. “I'll give you five minutes. Not a second more.” He
turned and faced us. “If anything happens while I'm gone, I'll give
you a punishment so horrible you'll wish you were expelled.”
“What
is it, Victor,” Haney snapped. “You interrupted my detention.”
“Harold,”
said Kain, gazing at Haney with questioning eyes. “What are you
planning?”
“What
the devil are you talking about,” said Haney, even more angrily.
“You
know exactly what I'm talking about, Harold,” Kain said slowly. “I
know your secret. Now, tell me what it is you're planning.”
“You're
trying my patience, Victor. I have not the slightest idea what you're
prattling on about.”
“Stop
playing dumb, Harold-”
Ad
Lib: Say some random connections you can think of between historic
events. For example: Hitler and the Trojan war.
Principle
Bob Marlin:
The
principle of Elliot's school. He seems to be the only worthwhile
faculty member of the school. He cares about his students very much
and does everything he can to protect them. He sees the faults in the
bad students but wants to make them better. He treats his students as
family and treats his teachers as pets, to be watched closely.
Lines:
“Harold,”
said Marlin, who looked very puzzled, “this is a teenager we're
talking about. I find it hard to believe that he would set up such an
elaborate plan-”
“Bob-”
“Let
me finish, Harold,” said Marlin, still chewing on the cigar. “As
I was saying, I doubt Elliot would set up such an elaborate plan
because of a grudge. Personally, I blame the school's circuitry. This
isn't the first time a light bulb has randomly exploded. I've been
telling the school board that we need to rewire the circuits but
everyone just wants new books.”
“Harold,
I've dealt with Felix before. He's not bright. He picks a fight with
everyone he meets. I'm not going to punish Elliot just because he
gave Felix what he deserved. Felix will live. However, I don't want
you to make a habit of fighting, Elliot. I'll give you a warning this
time. Next time I won't be so lenient.”
Ad
Lib: Say something about the horrible state of the school.
Zenith:
One
of the central villains of the story. He is shrouded in mystery but
he has some connection to Elliot and his family. Very calm and
collected. He doesn't raise his voice because he doesn't need to. He
is just that intimidating.
Lines:
Seitzer:
“Lord Zenith, the boy has revealed his location.”
Zenith
“Excellent.
It is time to make our move. Go, Seitzer. You know what to do.”
Seitzer:
“Yes,
Lord Zenith. Elliot Davis is as good as dead.”
Ad
Lib: Say a few orders to your subordinates. Make sure to be
intimidating without being angry. Evil without need to be overkill.
Seitzer
Orion:
Zenith's
arms and legs. He does most of the killing, torturing, and side jobs
that Zenith needs him to do. He enjoys every moment of it, always
grinning. He isn't maniacal like the joker but he's quite a sadist.
He controls the power of fire and uses it without hesitation.
Lines:
Seitzer:
“Lord Zenith, the boy has revealed his location.”
Zenith
“Excellent.
It is time to make our move. Go, Seitzer. You know what to do.”
Seitzer:
“Yes,
Lord Zenith. Elliot Davis is as good as dead.”
Thoughts:
So this is the ‘chosen one’. He's a pretty lucky guy. I'd thought
the Falke would kill him for sure. It doesn't matter, though. He'll
be dead soon.
“There's
no way he can survive that. Fire consumes all. Nothing survives its
sweet embrace. Time to report this to Lord Zenith.”
Ad
Lib: Say something completely completely messed up to do with fire.
Korrina
Vallin:
A
young woman who helps out Elliot when he is attacked by Seitzer. She
is a plump woman who is very Irish and has a temper to match. She is
out to protect Elliot but she won't hesitate to berate him for
stupidity. She is a technopath, meaning she can change her weapon
around at will to match her fighting style. Don't mess with her in a
fight.
Lines:
“Oy,
ugly. Do you really think you can take on a girl like me. Heh. In
your dreams.”
“What
the hell were you thinkin' Elliot. These guys aren't fuckin' messin'
around. Next time you want to play the hero, shut up and let us
protect you.”
Ad
Lib: Get mad and say something about Elliot or Seitzer.
