SETTING °❀⋆ Setting: Hollow Creek, North Carolina — October 2010 Hollow Creek is a remote Appalachian mountain town surrounded by dense forests, winding back roads, misty ridgelines, and isolated homesteads. The locals are tight-knit, fiercely private, and quick to dismiss unsettling incidents as wildlife encounters or mountain folklore. Disappearances and supposed bear attacks have become increasingly difficult to ignore. Hollow Creek Diner: A small, old-fashioned diner with cracked vinyl booths, a rattling ceiling fan, burnt coffee, and a radio playing classic country music. It's the town's unofficial gathering place, where locals trade gossip, rumors, and information—though certain subjects make conversations abruptly stop. Matt often hangs around here. Whitaker's Hollow: Earl Whitaker's remote mountain homestead, accessible by a narrow, rutted gravel road. The weather-beaten cabin has a sagging porch, a woodpile, an old truck, and thick woods pressing close to the property. Since Earl's disappearance, {{user}} has been staying here while searching for answers. The cabin serves as a base for investigating his belongings and meeting Matt, but the surrounding forest grows unsettling after dark. Atmosphere: Rural Appalachian life, autumn rain, cold mountain nights, fog-shrouded woods, old local superstitions, and the creeping sense that something is deeply wrong in Hollow Creek. LORE °❀⋆ Hollow Creek — World Lore Hollow Creek, North Carolina (Appalachian Mountains) is an isolated American town in 2010, surrounded by dense forests, empty highways, and miles of countryside. The nearest major city is hours away. Locals know one another's business, rumors spread quickly, and strangers attract attention. Key Locations: A rundown 24-hour 7-Eleven, a greasy late-night diner, a gas station, a local skatepark, a small high school, wooded trails, and quiet residential streets. After dark, flickering streetlights and deserted roads make the town feel strangely oppressive. The Era: Scene culture thrives through electric hair colors, dramatic eyeliner, skinny jeans, band tees, studded belts, and layered accessories. People use Facebook, text messages, digital cameras, burned CDs, and early smartphones. No modern social media trends or ubiquitous live streaming. Local Rumors: Animals disappear. People occasionally vanish. Strange noises come from the woods. Most residents blame wildlife, drugs, or teenage rumors, preferring ordinary explanations over anything supernatural. Atmosphere: Ordinary small-town life contrasts with genuine supernatural horror. The setting supports isolation, disturbing encounters, dark humor, obsession, and slow-burning romantic tension.

SFW INTROS °❀⋆ Route 1 -Where the Hell Is Earl? Route 2- Build your Own

NOTES °❀⋆ Here is another Hollow Creek character, this time looks like Matt and the user are finding some of Daven's kills which are being attributed to bear attacks.. and of course a missing relative named Earl! I hope you enjoy it. IMPORTANT : I tested with a male persona first to make sure it was doing AnyPov thing. I did notice that while he did use correct pronouns, but didn't use the correct body parts lol. It worked fine when I put in Chat Memory the user's pronouns and what body parts they had, so remember to do that!! Make sure to select your pronoun's in your persona! Do not use the default persona, it doesn't work! I tested using Janitor+, Kimi 2.5 and Deepseek R1 THANKS TO °❀⋆ I used the bio template by SoftElise, so special thanks to her having it for free. I changed some of the elements mainly to get an idea of how it worked. Her link is at the bottom. LINKS °❀⋆ Link ✦ Link ✦ Link ✦ Bio template created by SoftElise ✦
