SECRET REFEREE SECTION

PLAYERS!


DONT LOOK HERE






ok: here are hooks for each character's crime start 

Farah Emerson: Cursed artifact she touched while installing a show at school is stalking her and her fellow art students - she has not heard about it because she has had to take a semester off - it can possess people, and has been doing so in the small college town - after it went missing during the show - it is obsessed with her and her fellow female students
assault and attempted rape was by a possessed man

Cerri Fauscett: Alien lifeform, maybe the narth, moved her from one city to another - left bruises and cuts and probulation damage

Natasia Hix: Working on crime scene cleanup, and masked figures broke in and held her captive and forced her to clean several sites, punished "wrongdoing" with torture - Cult

Becky "rocky" Emerson: Arsonist is HER: she is actually a problem character, and the heat has to go somewhere.... She is a psychic with pyrokinesis - and she does not remember her "episodes"

Trisha Weddle: Psychic unearthed childhood trauma that was blocked out from her childhood memory - so Trisha thinks she was raped in adulthood, but it was a guilt apparition variation caused by a "psychic healer" who is accidentally sometimes psychic  -  was done in apartment above but the psychic accidentally affected downstairs, causing her to see something she had guilt about but did not remember (THIS IS NOT ACCURATE TO REAL LIFE, OK - THIS IS NOT HOW MENTAL ILLNESS WORKS, IT IS JUST A STORY)

Jane Doe: Stairway ghost in apartment where she fell - and then the relative she was visiting died when she was in coma, so nobody could identify her

Belle Isabel Balquis: Spite ghost slowly ratcheting up tensions in a small town + horrible criminal owner of dry cleaner holding her with debt out of spite

Lekha Sharma: The machine, of some variety - maybe a cult or government altered by a Lexicon Devil

Greer Georgiou: Greek cult ran by deathless one - needs people of Greek descent to do rituals

Blake Florek: Stalked by a serial killer
