so...what was the scoop on the creeper? (:

Okay, so ya’ll wanna know? I, Admin Lis, have been writing the Creeper all along. And I’m sure all of you (or at least most) suspected Plath’s villain was the sweet Zachary Coltrane. Shocking, I know. It goes like this:

Everything started as I wanted to explore more of Zach’s illness (he had two personalities residing in one body), so he would start sending out flowers anonymously. Talking with Blythe, we soon planned to make this the beginning of something darker for Plath, and so, the plot of The Creeper started to escalate.

Zach was born in the typical terrible household with abusive father and neglecting mother. Eventually, the mother leaves, and this leaves Zach with a terrible man who finds very easy to use him for different things to get money. Anything horrible you can imagine happened to him. Eventually, another personality rises: Theodore. His job is to protect Zach from the cruelty of the world. Theo is emotionless, smart, witty, brave and strong. Every time Zach was in danger, Theo came out to endure what Zach couldn’t.

One night, things get ugly at the Coltrane household, the Zach’s dad pulls out a gun, but due being so drunk, the man ends on tripping and pulling the trigger, killing himself. Zach stresses out. He doesn’t know what to do. He’s only 8 years old. Hunger hits him hard, and there’s nothing to eat. The fridge and cupboard are empty, so what does he do? He decides to eat his dad. His the bunny eating the wolf, his thin, weak hands are feeding from the strong remains of the predator. Zach feels POWERFUL. After this, Theo is triggered back, and he escapes out of the apartment and as far as he can so Zach and him don’t get caught. They end up in the forest and pass out.

When Zach wakes up, he knows nothing, aside from his name. Always fond of nature, Zachary (and Theo) adapt to the environment, becoming good hunters and survivors. What Zach doesn’t know, is that Theo has some other plans. When he takes the spotlight, Theo goes back to the city and starts to get revenge on all those that hurt him in the past, making them suffer in terrible ways. He became a stalker, a spy and a killer. While Theo was committing his own crimes, Zach found it hard to resist every time someone entered to the woods. He felt as if he NEEDED human flesh to stay strong, so he’d hunt people, and they’d become his favorite treat.

Time went by and he was eventually found and taken to Plath after a year of rehabilitation. There, Theo noticed the amount of kids that were thrown in there due misbehaving or tantrums. Selfish children that didn’t know the luck they had before, how beautiful was their life and how they let it waste away with nonsense. They all needed a lesson. They all needed to learn to be stronger. And so, he became THE CREEPER.

All those who were victims, yet targeted, were friends of original targets, or were too weak. The Creeper never saw his deeds as bad, for what he wanted was to help everyone to become stronger to endure everything life would throw at them, as well as he wanted to punish “his bratty children” for their behavior.

And no, Zach didn’t know about Theo’s existence. It was planned to be revealed after The Creeper finale, which would take place at Halloween night. So, yes, it was him who killed both Phillip (who was also player by me with the simple purpose of getting killed and establishing a darker atmosphere to the rp) and Jupiter. Zach always felt guilty about this, more due the fact of not being able to protect her. Theo was the one who kept a sexual relationship with Penrose, and it was also him who was flirting with Callista Lopez, with the simple idea of owning her as a person owns a pet. He was a psychopath. He had no real feelings.

And the worst part, is that he was consuming Zach slowly, to erase him at some point completely.

closing.

After much discussion and deliberation, we’ve come to the unfortunate conclusion that it’s time to close Plath Academy. We’ve had a good nearly ten month run with an incredible group of people that we’ve come to love dearly, but it’s time to let go. Me and Lis simply don’t have the free time to give you guys the attention you deserve and we know that a lot of you are busy as well, so we think that it’s best if we just step away. Maybe sometime in the future when everyone has more time and energy, we can reopen, but for the time being, this is the end.

Thank you guys so much for all the love you’ve put into the roleplay! This has been an incredible part of our lives and we’re so glad that we got to experience it. We wish you all the best of luck in every future endeavor you have!!

Can the person who sent that anon about assault come to us off-anon so we can talk about it? It’s a bit unclear what you mean at all.

[plathacademyhq-blog]

Is there an admin on?

Yep! What can I do for you?

[plathacademyhq-blog]

Why does it have to be entirely up to US to make things active? We know what we have to do as players and we're already doing it. Why is everything set on us instead of the admins attempting to do something to help boost player morale as well? It seems like you're blaming us entirely for the lack of activity in Plath and that doesn't feel good.

Be careful, you might pull something if you keep reaching that hard. No one is blaming anyone for anything -- we’re just saying that everyone has to make an effort. We do events, we’ve put out a task recently that you haven’t done, and we’re on as much as we can be in order to help and support this roleplay. Yes, we’ve been busy and thus have been less active than usual. We both admit that entirely. If you have an idea on what we should do differently, then, please, we’d love to hear it.

Phoenix’s starter isn’t showing in the tag, so go give it some love here!

I'm not saying anyone should sacrifice their mental health or real life responsibilities for the RP, but when I can scroll back to muse posts from three days ago it's demoralizing. And it's not ableist to want an RP to be active, that's real shitty that you'd imply that. ://

Then make posts. Reply to starters, plot with people, do starter calls -- if you have an idea for an event or a mini-event, then contact the main and we can try to do it. If you want things to happen, then make them happen. That’s not what I said at all, so please avoid putting words in my mouth.

This group is so inactive now. :( It feels so dead coming onto the dash and seeing nothing happening, it's just so stagnant and boring and sad and it's been like this for a really long time now. I feel like I should just leave because obviously things are going no where.

A lot of people are hiatus currently because we’re busy with things, such as moving, work and real life responsibilities. However, I know that quite a few people still have plots going on and just because we’re not on all day every day, that doesn’t mean things aren’t going anywhere. Roleplaying is a two way street and if you want things to happen, you need to reach out and plot with people, but understand that most of us are adults with responsibilities that come before RP. As we’ve said before, if you want an RP that sacrifices its players’ mental health for the sake of a rushing dash, then this isn’t the RP for you.

Welcome to the Roleplay!

Have you seen PHOENIX ARMSTRONG around campus? He EIGHTEEN years old and a SENIOR. I’ve heard that he's here because HE'S A CLASSIFIED PSYCHOPATH AND HAS MURDERED FOR FUN, when in reality it’s probably a rumor. If you look at them closely they kinda resemble MICHAEL CLIFFORD, but maybe my eyes are just playing tricks on me. (Crystal, 20, EST)

Welcome to Plath Academy for Troubled Teens, Phoenix Armstrong! Michael Clifford is now taken. You have twenty-four hours to send your account in!

are their any underused personalities you'd like to see in the group? or maybe just personalities you have a lot of that should be avoided? not as anything against those kinds of characters, but just to avoid repetition? like maybe jocks/populars/geeks/wallflowers/etc? i would like to join but am worried of being too similar to existing characters!

Hmm, that’s a tough question. I’d say we have a pretty good variety of personalities in our characters, but if you’re really worried about repetition, I’d say steer clear of shy, wallflower types. The type I think we probably have the least of would probably be geeky/nerdy type characters, so I’d be fun to see some of those.

Well, we already have a Madelaine Petsch and a Lily Collins, but I’d absolutely love to see Zendaya!
