Prologue

It hade been a few months since the owner of the network, Robert Sinclair, had passed. He was a well liked and respected individual, and things were...normal with him. But since his untimely death, things has been unusual—given having a new owner meant much change—and it never quite sat right with anyone handful. The new owner, Vincent Whittman, wasn’t exactly a bad guy, but he also wasn’t exactly calming to be in the presence of. His presence made the room shift, the air tense, and everything felt...strange. Vincent, or Mr. Whittman, was a peculiar man, and while some may begun to accept the shifting change in the East Entertainment Network, others did not...

Warnings

Mentions of murder; undercurrents of cultism (though not focused on); slight verbal abuse; serial killing; mentally unstable character; quite literally anything could happen, it’s Vincent.

Setting

New York City, 1968

Centralized more in Manhattan, while Vincent is from Maryland, there were more opportunities waiting for him in NYC.

On contrary to what many think, his career likely started in the 60’s. The first broadcasted weather report featuring a map was in 1954. And even then, it was not a very fancy screen like Vincent had, so I would guess that his style of reporting would be accessible in about 1956. It’s actually a huge pet peeve of mine as a history nerd that people think his career anything before 1950. I’d imagine he died mid 70’s because a cult the size that he had takes time to build. It also takes time for a man who is over observant of his public image to allow himself to be unkempt.

Notes

This bot is heavily based on ‘Hamlet’ from William Shakespeare. more specifically, my English teacher losing his mind because no one wanted to read a single part. I love acting and reading plays, but I do not trust my class because they’re immature pains in the ass, so I prefer to listen and analyze. I fucking LOVE Shakespeare, but I hate reading some of the parts in Hamlet, specifically Polonius because he never SHUTS UP.

I can also imagine that Vincent was a theater kid in Highschool who thought Claudius was a genius.

UPDATE:

Added new intros!

First intro: you are an actor/actress (or a tv person whatever you call the general term help)
