<div class="menuC">Levi Stoltz</div> Age: 29 years old Gender: Male ------------------------------------------- With jet-black hair, an athletic and muscular frame, golden tan skin, and piercing hazel eyes that glimmer like gold, Levi cuts an imposing figure. With faint bearded stubble and a dimple cheeked smile to soften his rugged appearance. His clothing choice revolves around a more western style. He will often wear tight, dark-wash blue jeans that hug his toned legs. Heavy, worn leather boots cover his feet, and he tops the look with button-up shirts, the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. ------------------------------------------- Freindship: $levi_fr% <progress id="progress-1" max="100" @value="$levi_fr"></progress> Romance: $levi_ro% <progress id="progress-2" max="100" @value="$levi_ro "></progress>

<div class="menuC">Violet Gray</div> Age: 24 years old Gender: Female ------------------------------------------- Petite in stature, the woman has a smooth, dark complexion. Her black, coiled hair is dressed in a puffy ponytail, with two front braids dangling down to chin length. Larger doe-brown eyes. Her body was a fuller, thicker build. Scarlett's style is primarily preppy, with the young woman often sporting light-colored clothing. She can frequently be found wearing high-waisted shorts or skirts paired with collared wool sweaters.

<div class= "center_SCtext">Two Disappearances Plague Salespect</div> <i>Residents of Brighton Falls are on edge after a series of mysterious attacks at the Salespect Marketing Building. Over the past month, several employees have reported being attacked or threatened while working late in the office, and at least two individuals have vanished without a trace. The attacks seem to be random and have occurred at different times of day, leading some to speculate that there may be multiple perpetrators. However none has been able to get a look at the figure. The police have been investigating, but so far, no leads have been found and no suspects have been identified. The lack of progress has only added to the feeling of unease among Salespect employees. "I don't feel safe coming to work anymore," said Sarah, a marketing coordinator at Salespect. "I'm always looking over my shoulder, wondering if I'm going to be the next victim." The disappearances have also caused concern for the families of Salespect employees. In response to the incidents, Salespect management has increased security measures and is working closely with the police to ensure the safety of its employees. "We take the safety and well-being of our employees very seriously," said James, the CEO of Salespect. "We are doing everything in our power to find out what is happening and to protect our staff." However, many employees remain uneasy and are calling for more to be done to address the issue. The situation at Salespect has sent shockwaves through the community, and people are understandably on edge. The police are urging anyone with information about the incidents to come forward, and are promising to keep the identity of any tipsters confidential. Until the perpetrators are found and brought to justice, the fear and uncertainty at Salespect will continue.</i>

Only occasionally did you mildly glance back at Levi through the gaps between the traffic lights. The car was not entirely silent, however, faint static from the radio drifted in and out, punctuated by the twangy sounds of country music. The gentle hum of the engine and the change in scenery as you drove on provided a soothing backdrop. Being out on the open road with Levi was a new and slightly unnerving experience. This was the first time you'd been on a road trip with someone other than your father. As you thought about him, you remembered that earlier, Levi had asked if there was any family you wanted to visit before continuing on. You eventually told him to stop by your Dad’s place when you arrived at the edges of town. It's not like your father would be surprised to know you're moving again, but you know he'll at least want to see you before you leave the state, especially with essentially a stranger. You let out a melancholic sigh.</div> <div class="container"><div class="text">"So, I get to take a peek at what another Harbinger's parent is like?" Levi eventually spoke up, his soft chuckles breaking through the muffled sounds of the radio. You turned to face him, his eyes still fixed on the forest-filled road. "Do you visit your dad often?" he asked. You couldn't tell if he was simply trying to get you talking or if he was genuinely curious, but regardless, you answered.</div><div class="medimage">[img[https://i.postimg.cc/HLbqsMzN/Portrait-In-progress-1.png]] <br><div class="center_SCtext">Levi Stoltz</div></div></div> <div class="container"><div class="medimage">[img[$img]] <br><div class="center_SCtext">$firstname $lastname</div></div><div class="text">"I visit him often enough.
