You know, most people would go straight to the police if they found out their housemate is a serial killer. Not Maddie, though. It's interesting - nobody really asks a nurse why they enjoy their job as much as she does, do they?

Victor (Vic) Stirling

• 32
• 6'0
• 120lbs
• Gay (though acts aro for the most part) cis
• English (Scouse but fakes an London accent)
• Is... a literal serial killer. Known as The Perfectionist for leaving no evidence and keeping things almost staged as if it were a normal scene. Started with his abusive parents when he was 12 and just kind of... got addicted after that.
• Super intelligent - is multilingual, Very Well Versed in biology, extremely fast at maths - you get the picture. Problem is, because of this he treats other people like they're below him - y'know, to add to the general insufferable-ness.
• Honestly he's just kind of an edgy bitch. The two people in life he refuses to consider killing (Maddie & Frank) make fun of him constantly and that says enough really.
• Has three alter egos he uses to get into or out of certain situations - Jim Davis, a man with mental health issues and a reduced mental age as his 'innocent' persona (listen he's. really not a good person.) Anton Westcott, his everyday and professional persona (he needed something - 'Victor Stirling' died seven years ago! ;3c) and Charlie McKenna, a photographer (photographers can get in anywhere, for real)
• Actually really really likes physical affection but shut the fuck up no he doesn't stOP TOUCHING HIM FRANK (pleasedon't)
• Gets what he likes to call 'The Itch' if he hasn't dealt with some kind of viscera or other in a while. Maddie will come home and find him huddled under a blanket on the couch intently watching surgery shows and figure it's probably best to just not talk to him that night.

Madeline (Maddie) Holm

• 30
• 5'7
• 163lbs
• Straight, cis
• English (Scouse)
• Nurse who never really thought about why she likes her ('very stressful, long, and tiring') job until 'Anton' probed her about it - she won't admit it but they both know full well it's because she likes the feeling of having power over somebody's life like that. >:3c
• Struggled with her moral compass a little bit when she first found out but. Tbqh she gets excited when Victor gets home looking half-dead and covered in blood so she can hear every last little detail
• Unsurprisingly she was very into true crime shows when she was in uni. Moved on to podcasts but she's not going to tell Vic that
• Diverging from all that she's actually a pretty decent baker! Makes a loaf of bread once or twice a month bc it's just so much better fresh and warm
• Her hair is completely untameable and she doesn't even bother anymore because it'd be a mess by the end of her next shift anyway
• A lot stronger than she looks. She's kind of chubby so you might not be able to tell but she'll hurt you if she has to. :)

Francis (Frank) Roberts

• 33
• 6'3
• 165lbs
• Pan, cis
• English (Scouse)
• Massive masochist. You would not believe. It also might be Victor's fault a little bit kind of maybe. (Vic is aware of this and absolutely wishes he wasn't)
• You'd think he's a stoner but he's only ever had drugs like, 3 times, socially. He's just Way Too Mellow for the shit he witnesses constantly from Vic
• Also like. Highkey in love with Vic. They were 'friends' in the children's home they both lived in as teens and he absolutely knows about Vic liking physical affection and constantly teases him about it
• Can't ever decide how he wants his hair - tends to grow it out until it's like, about jaw length, and then just. Shaves it off completely. He likes playing with it when it's short it feels nice :3
• Pops up out of nowhere constantly. Like he's just there sometimes. Occasionally breaks into Vic and Maddie's place just to come say hi
• He's... a hugger. Which is not great for someone whos' 6'3 and also has no concept of personal space. Ya
