Spa✞ ✞ ✞ The Premise ✞ ✞ ✞​

You can be forgiven for not hearing of "Hobb's End", not many are aware of the town's existence aside from the locals of the small island and the residence of the Massachusetts mainland. The sleepy town holds a population of nearly 650 people. Many families have lived on the island for generations and can trace their roots back to the pilgrims in fact. Many aren't aware of the secrets hiding on the island. Not anymore anyway. The pilgrims of old knew though, knew that while the waters were rich with fish and the ground fertile; a bit too fertile in fact. It seemed no matter what seeds you planted into the dirt of the little island, life sprung up. It seemed that wasn't entirely restricted to the fruits and veggies either. The oldest families knew once though, knew the powers of Salem and the mysteries that dwell within the depths of the island. For it seems the island has something of a problem with the undead...​

Spa✞ ✞ ✞ The Details ✞ ✞ ✞​

As you can likely tell, this story will follow the tale of a pair of hunters who live on the island of "Hobb's End" and deal with the undead of the old island. Your character is the apprentice of one of the inhabitants the island, the mortician Andrew Chapman. Your character has their reasons for apprenticing as a mortician; whether it be they simply are trying to make money and are unaware of the supernatural things occurring on the island while living a normal life, they've seen the supernatural and feel alienated by the world and work with Chapman and are unsure if what they encountered was real, or they are fully aware and want to help Andrew from the get go. In either case, you are the mortician's assistant and the odd man has every intent of teaching his apprentice all he knows. After all, the dead outnumber the living and someone needs to keep them from rising from their pine boxes...​

Andrew Chapman is the latest in a long line of families who came from the original founding of the town. The first Chapman was a pastor by the name of Jakob Chapman. He'd been well respected and had been known to be a spiritual guide in dark times. His sons it seems would all go on to become pastors as well. All except Andrew though, Andrew was the black sheep of the family line. True, he knew his scriptures and could become a holy man if he'd decided to but fate had something else in mind. His mother always said he was a bit touched. Too quiet, too observant, too aware of the world around him you might say. While most boys were out playing and romping, Andrew roamed the cemeteries and read. Not even children's books. He had a fascination with the living and the dead that no one could understand. It only made sense that when the time came, he'd become the apprentice to the island's mortician and start putting that fascination and that touched nature to use. One might say he would take to the job like a fish to water...​
