The Podcaster's Club Presents: Who Are The Morrigans?
Project Overview
A group of highschool students start a podcast club at their school. The first topic they investigate is the disappearance of their friend and fellow student, Johanna Johnson. Everyone thinks the Morrigan family (a suspected cult) is behind it, especially Carrie McGrath, the lead investigator of the podcast and Johanna’s best friend. As the podcast goes on, it is revealed that the family are actually werewolves and Johanna was accidentally turned by one of the family members while she was being chased by another werewolf. After one of the podcast members is turned, the club must band together with the family to find out who the other werewolf is and stop them, with the help of a mysterious detective who has a shady past and a beat cop.

She/her
Junior
Head of the school newspaper
Been friends with Carrie since kindergarten
Created the podcaster club and rounded everyone up. Came up with the scoop on the Morrigan’s and wants to investigate them (with an ulterior motive to get back at Henry and to prove to her friend she’s being brainwashed and really find out what happened to her when she went missing)
Voice: soft medium, serious, determined
No… God no. (regretfully) I should've gone with her anyway. I was tired and hadn’t gotten a good night's sleep the night before… I just wanted to take a nap… I should’ve gone with her. (shuddering breath) When I got home, I checked my notifications and found an odd text from her. She had sent me a photo.
(Taking control of the room) Alright podcaster’s, listen up!
(Cockily) Rule number one as a reporter, always have a backup.

He/him
Sophomore
Will be Carrie’s predecessor for the newspaper after she graduates
Loves history and research hence why he’s the researcher
Shy and quiet kid, but can be cut throat when he needs to be
Voice: higher pitched for a guy, geeky
What?! A man can be proud of his accomplishments. The youngest President of the Lake Haven High School Newspaper has a nice ring to it.
(scolding) Amy what the hell?! Try to keep it professional and somewhat respectful!
That makes a ton of sense, actually. (Apologetically) Sorry about my colleague. She's, shall we say, spirited about the topic.
16
He/him
Sophomore
Jordan’s best friend
Has a major crush on Carrie
He’s a wannabe music artist and knows how to use a soundboard and all that stuff so he’s the audio guy
Gets bit and turned into a werewolf by Sebastian
Is loud enough for both him and Jordan, he’s an energetic, goofy, fun-loving guy
He deals with his transformation really hard
Scared he’ll lose control and hurt somebody he cares about
Voice: Medium, a little bit quirky (think Stiles from Teen Wolf)
Hey, I’m just the audio guy! I work behind the scenes, not in the scene.
I’m somewhat of a musician and know my way around a soundboard. (confident chuckle) And ladies, that's not the only thing I know my way around.
What? Anyway, I don’t care what really happened, a cult makes this small town seem more interesting.

She/they
Senior
Goth girl
Andy’s protective older sister
Loves all things true crime and occult, hence why she’s there
really loves her brother and would do anything for him
Voice: harsh low for a girl, kinda raspy (think Raven from Teen Titans), smooth
Dude. It’s a podcast. We’re in high school. It's not that deep.
What about the blood that was found? (Angrily) Her phone was destroyed and tossed into the bushes, and you want to sit here and lie to our faces that she wasn’t clearly taken! What kind of a cop are you? A damned stupid one.
Mom’s going to kill me when she finds out I let you get turned into a werewolf!
18
He/him
Senior
Amy’s friend
Gay (has a crush on Jack Morrigan)
Runs tech for the theatre club and knows how to edit videos and recordings
Voice: medium, a little queer with a southern accent
I’m going to have to agree with Amy here. It’s scary to think there’s an actual cult operating in our town. I’ll take normal over paranormal any day.
Don’t have to tell me twice!
(Sheepishly)I’m not really used to editing audio and I’ve never done podcasts. I normally just edit the theatre performances… I’ll definitely try to be better and improve though.

(Exasperated) I got a job at Gina’s Diner okay? They’ve been watching over me like hawks and I just needed an excuse to get out of the house. I don’t want them to know… you didn’t tell them anything did you?
(Scoffs unbelievingly) Wha-what about it?! You made a fucking podcast about me! What? You didn’t get enough attention from the front page of the New Haven Times article you wrote about me?
(Threateningly) Carrie, take it down. Now.

Oh yeah, you guys read my comment! I’m Cheekywolf! Hehe got it? Cuz I’m a cheeky wolf!

I tried to stop them, I really did! But at some point, you’re just too far gone to be reasoned with.
(Menacingly) If you ever step foot in our town again, you’ll be ripped to shreds before the bottom of your shoe hits the asphalt!

35
English teacher
Turned werewolf
Omega, looking to start his own pack
Plays a refined young man who cares about and is good with his students, when in reality he’s a psychopath that wants control and will do whatever it takes to obtain it (oh no he’s hot)
Approved of the podcast
Voice: Medium, charming, slightly nasally
Oh, gosh, I was still getting settled in with the school and my house when that happened! I’m new to New Haven so I really don’t know much about what goes on around here. It was a shame to hear one of my students went missing for a little while, but I’m glad she’s back home now.
(Self-deprecating) I’ve always been alone. Born alone, lived alone, hell, I’ll probably even die alone.
(Shouting angrily) Every single one of you is mine, do you hear me! I will not rest until this town belongs to me!

Police officer who ends up getting recruited by Harmon to the Supernaturals Division
Been a cop for the past 9 years and wants to do something meaningful with his career
Smart ass
Voice: soft medium, always sounds kind of frustrated
Well you kinda ambushed me on my lunch break, kid. Didn’t really give me much of a choice.
Ohhhh yeah, now I remember you! You were that kid that kept pestering me all night and interfering with my investigation.
(Argumentative) It’s the first and logical line of reasoning anyone asks in a potential missing persons case! That’s Investigation 101!
40
Lead detective of the New Haven Police Department Supernaturals Division
New to New Haven, moved down to get away from his mysterious past
Knows the truth about the Morrigan Family
Tries to parent everyone around him, but he means well.
Voice: harsh medium, slight mid western accent, commanding yet approachable
(Sharp breath in) Let’s just say… My last place of employment had a toxic work environment. I needed a fresh start, so I left.
Aren’t you supposed to be asking questions about your friend, not me? What’s with the interrogation?
On the record? I can’t disclose that information. Off the record? Yes, and her results came back normal. There’s nothing for you to worry about. Your friend is going to be fine. A word of fatherly advice: You should give her time to adjust and come to terms with her new reality. Don’t chase after her. Let her come to you.
