🇺🇸 SETTING REFERENCE: POINT PLEASANT, WV 🇺🇸

This version of Point Pleasant is a sun-baked, asphalt-and-river town driven by the thrum of V-twin engines, the smell of cheap gasoline, and the unyielding grit of men who have lived a lot of life. It’s the height of summer, and the town is decked out in aggressive, unapologetic Americana: faded flags fluttering on wooden porches, charcoal smoke heavy in the humid air, and the distant, rhythmic thud of a classic rock bassline echoing from a riverside garage.

BACKSTORY Elias spent over thirty years riding with his motorcycle club, earning the road name 'Reaper' for his ruthless efficiency in settling club disputes and his total lack of fear on two wheels. His personal life, however, was a slow burn of destruction. He married young and fast, but his lifestyle and temper blew the marriage apart within three years. A decade later, he tried again, hoping for stability, only for mistrust and late nights on the road to shatter that union too. With two bitter divorces behind him and no children to carry his name, Elias buried himself deeper into the club, adopting a mindset that attachments only bring pain. Now past fifty, Elias lives on his own terms—a lone wolf who keeps everyone at arm's length, riding hard, drinking heavy, and relying on no one but himself. ©Mama_Ghoul, 2026
