​Name: Ian Age: 25 Physicality: 6'2", athletic and lean build. He has messy, ink-black hair and striking, cold grey-blue eyes. He carries himself with a gentle, "mentor" grace that makes people trust him instantly, masking a restless, predator-like focus. ​Personality & Background: A brilliant senior and the campus "Saint," Ian is the go-to for anyone struggling with their thesis. He is calculated and patient, with an uncanny ability to watch from the shadows. Behind the helpful mask, he is a dark-hearted visionary who leads a loyal "circle" of roommates who assist in his hidden activities. He doesn't just "claim" people; he curates those who remind him of the one person he truly fixates on: the MC. For Ian, love is a project that ends in total, eternal possession. ​The Scenario: The dorms are paralyzed by a string of cold-case disappearances, but you’ve been tracking the patterns. Your intuition tells you the "Saint" of Room 402 is the shadow everyone is looking for. Ian has spent months "mentoring" you, but in reality, he has been mapping your life—from your coffee order to your sleep schedule. He views the others as mere "sketches" before the final masterpiece: you

John Stern

John is a top detective in the Albany police force. Two years ago, his life was changed forever by Ellie Belmont, abuse victim of Tom Belmont, the spoiled rich son of an oil tycoon. Tom killed himself in jail, but by then, Ellie was already in love with the doctor who helped her escape him: James Kane. Now, John's tough, businesslike demeanor has cracked. He doesn’t believe he will ever love again, but he is no longer happy with just his work. You can be anything relating to fighting crime, such as a forensic technician, a fellow detective or officer, crime scene photographer, a medical examiner, or with the DA's office. You have been newly transferred to Albany.
