a survival horror game

It's a party. A friend of a friend threw it, their parents are out of town for the weekend, they've got booze, bedrooms, and enough snacks to make you sick. And you're invited! Lucky you. Maybe you didn't wanna go, maybe your more socially inclined friend hauled you along. Either way, it's a party and you're here.

DREAM POWERS:

Every character has "dream" abilities specific to them, perhaps reflecting their abilities in canon. They could be offensive or defensive, or just plan stupid. But they reflect the character's personality, hopes, and regular dreams.

The two "protagonist" characters have additional abilities.

Karkat Vantas: DREAM SHARING. Karkat's is the ability to pull people into his dreams, and pull things out of them. Unfortunately this means that while this power is essential in defeating the Big Bad, it can draw a lot of casualities. It's not an exact science and there's very little control over it.

Gamzee Makara: DREAM CONTROL. Gamzee can lucid dream. He can control the situation. His powers are essentially exactly the same as The Grand Highblood's.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY DIE?

Characters who die are trapped within The Grand Highblood's nightmare realms. These realms can be anything from a Silent Hill Dark World-esque version of a beloved space to full on torture. Characters can reach each other and continue to fight for their sanity within them.

RANDOM FACTS
The Pre-scratch ancestors (other than Meenah and Aranea) were killed by The Grand Highblood, including his older child. Gamzee is The Grand Highblood's younger son! He was only like a year old when everything went down.

Aranea, Meenah, Dirk, Roxy and Jane have some memory of the younger trolls vanishing as they lived on the same street and were friends, possibly worse if we're going with the GHB creeping on the kids and threatening them prior to kidnapping and murder. Regardless, some are nosing into events and others are just trying to forget.

15 years ago the city was plagued by a series of mysterious murders. The children of the local elementary school were disappearing, one by one, nothing but a shoe or a shirt to give any trace of their whereabouts. Eventually, a suspect was pinned - without a shadow of a doubt, this man was the culprit - but due to his blood status and a technicality he was allowed free.

The parents of the small town revolted, taking justice into their own hands. The tracked the killer down and murdered him in secret, hiding the body and covering the incident up. The killer merely laughed as he died, swearing revenge upon their children.

Cut ahead to present day. There are strange disrepancies in the records, the children old enough to recall any of the events suspect that something is up. There are photos of children they don't remember playing with in photo albums, the faint, nagging thought that they've forgotten something - not to mention the fact that the last house at the end of the street leave them slightly breathless with terror.

But the younger kids of the town have grown up happy and healthy, unaware of what transpired so long ago.

Other than that, three things to keep in mind:
1. They live on Elm Street (or Street 413 if we want to be extra dorky). They're on Earth. Trolls are still trolls. We can assume that trolls still carry the quadrant system.
2. They attend the same highschool.
3. They've known each other all their lives. Whether they are friends or not is up to you. Past relationships? Current relationships? Go wild. Keep in mind that this is a horror movie AU so if you want characters to be dating? They can totally be dating, so long as you make sure both parties are cool with it and it's not wildly ooc for it to be happening.

Remember. Horror movies are essentially a horrible highschool dramas with murder thrown in.
