Brody Hawkins

Brody is an amazing and tortured documentary filmmaker. Living and working in New York, he is originally from the town of Ambrosia, MA.
He is a very private person, and a lot of his thoughts and feelings are hidden from those around him. Last year Brody not only had to cope with the death of his sister, Laney, but also with death of Veronique – the love of his life.

Brody had planned to propose to Veronique on the night she died. He had bought a ring 6 months previously, only to have Laney pass away on the very same afternoon. This caused the thought that the ring may be cursed to enter Brody's head, and prevented him from fulfilling his wishes earlier.

From the death of Veronique, we have witnessed Brody falling down a slippery slope. He began drinking heavily and the things he was writing in his blog were becoming very dark and haunting. He is determined to complete 48 Hours in Purgatory, as it was Veronique's idea to start with, and he feels that it will honour her memory.

At the moment, we are unsure of Brody's whereabouts. He has mentioned in the past that he has travelled to Ireland and England, as well as up to Toronto and as far down as Arizona. Our last confirmed destination was the Super Bowl in Arizona, but no-one is quite sure where he has gone on to from there.

 -Obsessive with work
 -In love with Veronique – "I'm madly in love with a ghost."
 -Believed the engagement ring was cursed – "I should have dumped that ring the day Laney died."
 -Arkham is his right hand man
 -Likes to drink (but has been "dry" for sometime now)
 -Has a very sadistic side
 -Works with Jagt (Jet) and Arkham (Ark)
 -Keeps a blog (which has now been privatised)
 -Has myspace, facebook, youtube and stage6
 -Was in the car crash that killed Veronique on September 19th
 -Was planning on proposing to Veronique
 -Is having a hard time coping with Veronique's death
 -His sister, Laney, died around 6 months before Veronique (April 2007) – "Laney dying wasn't part of the plan. And it made me crazy. I finally steel my resolve and Ronnie dies. Right there beside me. I couldn't do shμt."
 -Is a very quiet person
 -Hometown is "Ambrosia", MA
 -Keeps a production blog and gallery, but we've never been able to find it
 -Dreamt of Ark burying a "large, scruffy man" at Location 1 near Niagara Falls – "A guy that wasn't dead….and buried him."
 -Dreamt of picking up pieces of glass and putting them back together. Cutting himself and the blood being creativity. This blood, running down his arm, turning to ashes and blowing away.
 -Has posted to his blog drunk and deleted it later.
 -Often uses song titles for blog titles
 -Keeps idea for Veronique's notebook behind a "gateway" on the 48HIP site
 -Mentions water a lot in the blog – "I feel like I'm underwater. I can't think today. Is this what drowning is like?"
 -Doesn't like the internet
 -Birthday is November 12th
 -Threw the engagement ring into Boston Bay – "…throw the box into the ocean over by the outdoor concert theatre." "I took a walk across the bridge and tossed the box."
 -Said there was something "off" about the accident
 -Never went to Veronique's memorial – "The cremation and the memorial are tomorrow. I'm invited, but I don't think I can do it." "I have NEVER met V's parents and I was NOT invited to the memorial."
 -Began to think that subject 6 was Ronnie – "It's her. It HAS to be her." "Guy, they laughed the same, said words the same, looked the same... but this girl was a scary scary bitch." "It was almost like she knew she looked like her and was trying to play me"
 -Has been contacted through e-mail, cell phone, AOL IM, myspace and facebook. Recently he has sent video mail to a few players.

Marisa Veronique Villemarie – aka Ronnie, V, Veronique

Veronique was a beautiful and talented young woman. Originally from Montreal in Canada, Ronnie has been living and working in New York for the past few years. Part of the team at SKG films, Ronnie developed an intimate relationship with Brody Hawkins. She contributed a lot to the business itself, being both the office assistant and a muse to Brody.

48HIP was her idea. She kept a notebook, in which she wrote song lyrics, quotations and ideas for new projects, and marketing ideas for projects they were already working on. Ronnie won awards for her documentary film "Ink and Ashes", which was about people using the ashes from their deceased loved ones to create a tattoo of memorial forever.

Ronnie was in love with Brody, but had never worked up the courage to tell him outright. She was with Brody on the night she died. Ronnie's body was taken back to Canada by her parents, where the cremation and the memorial took place.

Before her death, we were able to keep in regular contact with Ronnie through her e-mail at SKG. After her death she has contacted us through video mail, cell phone and in person, meeting Connie (Idta) for a coffee in Toronto. We have been told by Ronnie that our main goal is to help Brody.


 -Known as a muse
 -Office assistant at SKG – "- Veronique came on board after we met in her film class while I was guest lecturing"
 -Went to the movies with Brody on September 19th – "Me and V. are going to the movies tonight"
 -Her car broke down on September 19th – "Ronnie called a bit ago and couldn't get her car to start, so I have to swing by and pick her up."
 -Was involved in a car crash on September 19th
 -Died, September 19th – "--- I hit my head, V died on the scene. But it's weird. I remember a lot of blood. And I remember her crying, but unmoving, like being dead. With no blood. So which was it?"
 -Brody was going to propose to her
 -48 Hours in Purgatory was her idea
 -She kept a diary style notebook – "I found Ronnie's notebook. That woman was a miracle. Now she's a sleeper. I can than God she left this behind, it's full of brilliant ideas."
 -Recorded ideas, quotations and music lyrics – "...random lines in Ronnie's notebook, amongst brilliant ideas, which I guess are song lyrics."
 -Listened to The Heroin Diaries by Sixx A.M.
 -Was cremated – "The cremation and memorial are tomorrow. I'm invited, but I dn't think I can do it."
 -Wants us to befriend and help Brody
 -She kept a video blog
 -She mentioned that she felt like she was being watched in the office
 -She was from Montreal in Canada
 -Was having vivid dreams every night
 -She had trouble telling Brody how she felt
 -She claimed that the Proffessor (subject 1) looked like her father
 -She knows we're "watching"
 -Referred to in the past as "the miracle" and "the sleeper" – "I found Ronnie's notebook. That woman was a miracle. Now she's a sleeper. I can than God she left this behind, it's full of brilliant ideas."
 -Identified by the spirits (PMs) as special
 -Brody referred to her as being "ruined"
 -Was contactable on office e-mail and telephone
 -Since her death has been in contact once by cell phone, but also by video mail and in person
 -Was in charge of "Ink and Ashes".
 -Was in charge of "The Shipment" and won awards for it. –"we went to get Ronnie's award for "The Shipment"."

(All quotations are from Brody's blog, spelling mistakes as well Wink)

Arkham X aka Ark

Arkham is described as Brody's "right hand man". He started out with the company as a cameraman, but is now working for SKG in a security capacity. Arkham is involved in both Brody's reality and ours, and has interacted with us previously on the IG forum. We have had very little contact with him. He has been spotted in many of the videos that we have been given, and is believed to be a friend of the rest of the characters.

 -Brody's right hand man
 -Security, used to be a cameraman
 -Doesn't get along with Brian aka BigJ1666
 -Has a strange e-mail on the 48-hours.net site – eyeSPLATdoubt.it
 -Animalistic or demonic eye avatar on the 48-hours.net site
 -Brody dreamt of him burying a, "large, scruffy man".
 -Is more powerful than ICON
 -Interacted with one of the subjects (subject 2 "for sale") by picking her up
 -Calls Jet "his friend"
 -Can interact with us in both Brody's reality and our own
 -Puzzle pieces seem to be his calling card
 -Contacted through e-mail and Brody's cell

Jagt aka Jet

Jagt was not, until recently, a very important character in this story. For a long time he was rarely, if ever, mentioned and we were fed very little information about him. Even now we don't really have much to go on.
Jagt is the assistant editor and stedicam operator for SKG. He has a web log that Icarus has been keeping a good account of. He was contacted for a brief time through e-mail, both in our time (2007/2008) and in the future (2009).

 -Assistant editor and stedicam operator
 -Keeps an online web log
 -Is looking for Brody in 2009
 -Informed us of information on Brody's family
 -Has told us that the film was a huge success and that he is currently editing it again
 -Wants to tell everyone the truth

Joseph McNabb aka Nabsy

Nabsy has only been mentioned a couple of times and is Brody's manager. We have no contact details for him.









Ok, so if anyone has anymore detail that they want included in this (cause I know I don't have all of it) please PM me and i'll update. I don't think we need to go into too much detail with the spirits and subjects, but again PM me. I have a good account for most of the spirits and Mandy did a really good job with the subjects before.

Thank you!
