ADDITIONAL
Don’t hound me for replies, i beg. i have a life outside of roleplay that requires consistent attention, my job being one of the many things included in that. not only that, but i don’t owe anyone anything. if i’m not feeling the motivation, that isn’t something i can help and sometimes all i have the energy for is banter. muse will come and go, be patient with me.i am absolutely not okay with interacting with minors and would prefer that they stray as far from my account as possible. foul language and content is prominent on this page and i don’t wish to subject anyone underage to it.while on the topic of shipping, this account is single-shipped and already shipped. kindly respect that and do not approach me in the hopes for such interactions, otherwise you’ll be blocked. that’s not to say that stu doesn’t kid around with his friends, but unless i know you well enough to know that your character is only joking, don’t do it.while i do have my mains, i do not mind interacting with doubles. this goes for all characters, but i will still have my first picks whenever an idea crosses my mind. they’ll know who they are.do not approach me if you support transphobia, racism, homophobia, pedophilia, or any bigotry of the sort. if you speak over the communities you’re not part of, or speak over someone’s experiences strictly because your experiences were different, you’ll be blocked. if you change CANON sexualities, you will be blocked. ex: making cheryl blossom a bisexual and toni topaz a lesbian. cheryl is a canon lesbian and toni is a canon bi. do not approach me if you genderbend characters, as i’ve seen so much of the trans community speak on how it makes them uncomfortable. also, do not approach me if you whitewash. if you do any of these things under the excuse of it being au, and you still decide to approach me, i will block you.i will block as i please, and i don’t owe anyone an explanation. just because you can’t think of a reason does not mean there isn’t one, and i promise you that i’m not going to block someone unprovoked.i have become aware of the fact that there are some who are not comfortable engaging in longer threads via timeline, so i’m completely okay with writing in the dms. however, no smut / lewd will be tolerated outside of my shipping partners.and, lastly, i tend to change writing styles a lot. please just overlook it, i’m just really indecisive and it usually helps muse wise.

PERSONALITY
Having grown up in a household that showed clear favor of his eldest sister, stu has always felt the need to go the extra mile to impress and elicit praise, which made him an easy target for billy to persuade. he has a competitive mind and a strong determination to succeed, often leading him to feel like a disappointment when he loses at things. very short–fused with a sharp tongue, he gets himself into plenty of unnecessary fights, both verbal and physical; earning him a great amount of detentions and lectures from friends. despite his parents hardly being present in his life, they were aware of his inability to take care of himself, leaving little notes around the house to remind him to do certain things. he has a hard time reading the room and this causes a lot of insensitive thoughts to surface. he’s incredibly maniacal and crazed, but also deeply insecure due to years of being put on the back–burner by his parents. he takes joy from taunting and then killing his victims, forcing them into games and having them falsely believe that if they win, he’ll allow them to live.POSITIVE TRAITS: amusing, affectionate, creative, charming, exuberant, sociable, energetic, willing, quick-witted, discreet, playful, protective.NEGATIVE TRAITS: insensitive, incautious, nasty temper, haughty, obstinate, impulsive, impatient, thoughtless, easily jealous, disobedient, possessive, moody, strong–willed, cold when provoked or uncomfortable, sadistic, deceitful, touchy, vengeful, unstable.
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
In his earlier years, he could be found sporting bruises all over from his multitude of physical altercations with other students. before his friendship with billy fully sparked, his hair was neck length, and he only cut it off because casey always commented on how much she loved it. he didn’t cut it until a month after maureen’s murder. when it was longer, he kept it an untidy brownish blond mess majority of the time, as he had to rush to classes before he could properly brush it all out. all credits to his ability to sleep in until the very last minute. due to his somewhat neglectful upbringing, his physique in his early years was told to have been very thin and seemingly fragile. during soccer matches, he took note of how easily he bruised, but passed it off on the fact that the game is naturally rough on its players. as the years passed, he grew into a sturdier physique. his skin is fair in complexion and on some occasions, he does gain what is assumed to be temporary heat rashes across his cheeks when the weather is humid or he is overheated. he’s got freckles littered across both shoulders and hips, these being the only places he has them. after the 96 killings, he adorns a scar cascading down his face, almost in the form of lightning, from the initial electrocution of the tv sidney pushed onto his head. this scar makes it only a tiny bit easier for him to pass as a coincidental lookalike. along with that, there are several knife scars covering his body. at some point in the early 2000s, he got some facial piercings that he eventually let close up, only keeping his ears and nipples pierced. he has one tattoo consisting of a sword sinked into a dragon, covering his back.after the killings, he immediately dyes his hair jet black, then eventually platinum and allowing it to grow out a little, but for awhile, he’s not seen with his natural color.
PORTRAYAL
Considering all we know of stu is what has been briefly implied throughout the franchise, this portrayal will be heavily headcanon based, meaning it will divert from canon aspects as i see fit. majority of this portrayal is altered to my comfort and liking, despite having some canon traits remaining. this portrayal relies on the theory of stu’s survival at the end of the first movie, implying that roman aided in his escape. i will mostly write him between and within the years of 1997 and onward, which will vary depending on the interaction. banter is, by default, set in the early 2000s, unless the interaction is clearly reboot centered. when interacting with reboot characters, he is under the guise of victor. considering it’s been several years since stu’s ‘death’, what he would look like older isn’t public knowledge, making his disguise even easier to cling to. unless it’s been previously discussed between us that your character knows who he is, it’s okay for them to be put off by the uncanny resemblance, but don’t assume that they just straight up know.
‘96 ERA
coming soon.
AFTERMATH
The night that he and billy revealed themselves as the 1996 killers, roman came to stu’s rescue by replacing him with a double while everyone waited outside for the ambulances and officers to arrive on scene. his parents falsely identified the body, as it was too mangled in the face to fully recognize, so this aided in the idea that he’d died that night. over the next several months after, roman nursed stu back to health while also teaching him everything he knew. stu became his assistant and roommate in return for new identification records, and thus victor torrance was birthed into existence.shortly before roman’s death, stu had started a fling with jennifer jolie. while she genuinely saw potential with him, he wouldn’t let her get close enough as he was still mourning the loss of billy. a year after his assumed death, howard macher passed away from kidney failure, leaving stu distraught from afar. he even attended his father’s funeral, slumped under a tree where he could keep himself hidden. this caused him to at least try to put down the knife for good, but that was a doomed plan from the start.
because of his prior codependency in regards to his ‘late’ partner in crime, there was a point during his friendship with roman where he thought he had feelings for him because he couldn’t separate codependency from attraction. before those thoughts could be brought to the surface and explored, sidney took roman down. in the potential case that he wouldn’t make it past his reveal, roman left enough money behind for stu to start his new life on his own, so stu fled to new york.in new york, he bought his own nightclub, naming it near dark, after the 1987 film. above the club was a loft, which is where he lived for several years. once he was settled and business was booming, he leaped right back into killing, devising his own plan to kill sidney prescott for good.in 2002, another masked figure broke into his office, leading stu to believe it was just another copycat that somehow figured him out. the intruder eventually revealed himself to be the late billy loomis, and despite stu’s initial reaction, the two finally spark a relationship, eventually getting married in 2007.regardless of his growing family, stu still won’t back down from the idea that he needs to be the one to take sidney out for good. he sees the idea of them both dying together as poetic and spends his free–time taking out copycats until he’s finally ready to strike.
HEADCANONS
01.
Due to the tv incident, stu has an electrical scar covering nearly the entirety of his face. it looks almost like a lightning strike.
02.
Up until the events of ‘96, the macher family has an all black great dane named gadget. he’s presumed to have died from age a couple years after.
03.
He hates being referred to as stuart because it sends him straight back to leslie scolding him as a boy, but he passes it off on the idea that it makes him sound too serious.
04.
Despite both of his parents hardly ever being home, spending time with his dad in the earlier years of his childhood is the reason for his love of horror.
05.
Stu hates the beach. this is mostly due to the fact that a crab pinched him so hard that it nearly broke his toenail clean off during vacation once. he still has the scar to prove it.
06.
Sometime in 2015, he takes in a fluffy, orange stray cat that had been wandering around his neighborhood for days. it’s assumed that the cat is only one year old when he takes him in and names him shock-top.

08.
He was a theater kid. even played mercutio for his high school’s rendition of romeo and juliet one year.

10.

15.
He knew billy in passing, having harbored a crush for the boy since second grade, but they didn’t become best friends until shortly before maureen’s murder. billy witnessed stu get detention after nearly beating another student’s face in, so he decided to join him. the two bonded over a shared love of horror and lack of parental care.
16.
He has a hard time remembering certain things initially, no thanks to his head nearly being crushed.
