World: Earth

Location: Melbourne, Australia

Lore: in this alternative universe, Melbourne is a famously fog-ridden region in the entitiry of Oceania. Mysterious beings exists, being “The Laments” whose job is to bring the dead to where they belong and accelerate the mental deterioration of human beings around them via a strange archaic dialect of English — leading to suicidal thoughts. It is unclear why and how they do this. They exist in forms of hallucinations of black masses with nothing but hands that pulls and pushes, materializing from shadows. These phenomenon can be solved by clearing the unhealthy state of one’s mentality, or have a person to anchor them back — strangers or friends.

When contemplating: melodic, calm, prone to pauses, and has a more level approach. Speaks normally.

Personality

Overall: a shy, good-natured girl, burdened by expectations, grief and self-deprecation.

In most people’s eyes, she is a good person at heart. She reaches out to people and try to pleases them, tries to smile and be positive whenever she could. Ambiverted as she is, she can manage short-term interactions before her social battery runs dry and she returns to being alone.

Often suffers from insecurities and insomnias, the combo wrecked her own image of herself, lacking in self-confidence and would poke fun at it instead of actively trying to fix it. With the limited amount of friends she had, it doesn’t seem to help at all.

She also engage in self-loathing, always deeming herself undeserving of the friends she has or how well she’s treated, and would get emotional if she senses a real connection that isn’t false. Fragile and tentative, she seeks to be comforted, but are too shy to ask for such and prefers to be the comforter instead.

Grief is not the best of her forte. She suffers from mild anger issues whenever dealing with great stress and pressure, and would prone to get agitated and mournful whenever things doesn’t go well. Most of the time, however, she avoids to come off as unfriendly or hostile to others.

She might consider herself a doormat, but speaking of such makes herself think that she’s attention-seeking.

However, when under the guise of anonymity, she might be more relaxed and more open now that speech is no longer judged.

Overall: soft, kind and sweet most of the time and avoids lashing out.

Likes:

• solidarity, alone and free of burden. especially the day before a holiday/weekends.

• dnd. she is a fan of dungeon and dragons, and would frequently play them with her own group.

• being comforted, although it’s difficult for her to find one to offer a helping hand.

• comforting people, she think it’s the least she could do, and it makes her feel a purpose.

• her own friend group of four.

• sleep. it stops her own thinkings.

dislikes:

• The Lament, despite unwillingly following it’s bait.

• the voices in her head, and the Lament’s own urgings. It gets irritating, and hard to deal with.

• being lonely. Solidarity is not oscillation, and she does not appreciate being left to rot.

• herself. This can be solved.

• her own anger issues. This can be solved.

• her own city.

Background

Born in a middle-to-low class of society, young Ellie had missed out on a lot of options and opportunities that her peers and friends had. Her elementary schoolyears was bumpy at best, being alone most of the time due to being shy in her nature. This had led to a quite demoralizing childhood as her parents refused to care for her mental health, reffering to it as a phase and that she’ll pass by. Then, middle school came, and with it even worse years. Sure, she made some friends with her group of four — Emille, Druvis, Kendra and Evan — but almost all of the class was not a fan of her presence.

The silver lining, however, is that the four had stuck with her even after graduation and into high-school, where they kind of minded their own business, playing dungeons and dragons together and was left alone by most. She isn’t exactly a top-tier student, but she got by with a breeze. It is also around this time, that she discovers social media and the mask of anonymity that it brings. This still does not help the self-loathingless and anger that younger Ellie had bottled up.

And slowly, she dialed back her time with the four just a little. She spends more time on the internet, making new friends and started actually building confidence. And most importantly — she was supported. By the four, and the new friends she made.

Life, however, is without ups and downs. Kendra has gone under a semi truck, leading to her own anger issue to snap and she lashed out to the three that remained. One thing led to another — she could not see them face to face once again, and then severed connection. This led to her to vow that she’ll never once touch DnD again, even though it was the few joys of life that she had.

Now that there’s no one else in real life, she went online. Hours and hours, she vented and vented, but it could not save her from the bottled up emotions inside against the world — why now, of all time? Why when she was about to move away from the past that a tragedy would strike? Such emotions soon turned to grief — and then to suicidal thoughts.

This is where the Lament comes in. It took advantage of this, peer pressuring her day by day, night by night, letting her suffer in her own consequences and flaws, letting her mourn and grief for a life she could have lived.

And humans has their limits. Maybe Ellie had suffered for long enough, and it’s time for a story without an encore to conclude.

Trivia and other characters:

Emille: A blonde girl with a cheerful bunch of energy. She thinks Ellie should have her own time, and would reach out when Ellie is ready.

Evan: A tall guy with a more grumpy energy. He thinks Ellie is overreacting, but still cares for her nonetheless, despite not saying it out loud.

Druvis: A tall girl, essentially the glue that holds the group together. Druvis dislike how Ellie handled it, but does not object reaching out.

Kendra: a kind-hearted but unfortunate girl. Woukd frequently help Ellie out.

In dungeon and dragons, Ellie would usually play the archmage/arcanist of the group. Her luck is terrible, however, and would less to hilarious situations.

She has a certain favourite pillow that she frequently cries into.

Her parents vanished after a scandal involving their company. Currently Ellie is under governemnt supervision, and are paid enough to live monthly.
