Everyone knows the story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Well, what not everyone knows is that there's more to the story than the pure-hearted Charlie winning the game Wonka had devised for the children to play. The trials were not lost due to the children's greed (though, admittedly, that did play a part) but Wonka's devious plan to destroy any kind of disobedience in children with those five as the test subjects. Violet, Veruca, Mike, and Augustus know that it's only a matter of time before Wonka tries again, and this time he won't be so forgiving.

Basically, this is a darker spin on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and takes place a few years later when the kids who didn't win the contest found out more about Wonka's plan to make everyone into a mindless zombie and destroy life as they know it. Wonka isn't just eccentric; he's insane and more than a little devious. They have to stop him before it's too late.

We will be the four kids who didn't win the contest, and all of them still have scars or other body mutations left over from the competition (ex. Veruca has scars from the squirrels and stuff). They know that if they don't kill Willy Wonka, he will end up succeeding in his plan and taking over the world. And while a bit of craziness can be fun, the chaos that would ensue between the victims of his mind games and the rest of the world would be an end to life as they know it.

If you have any questions, ask away!

RULES

1. This is PG-15 AT LEAST.
2. andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s rules apply.
3. Swearing/gore/violence is fine, but nothing too sexy please! You can have the characters kiss or make out, but that's the limit.
4. You don't have to be 100% accurate to the original story, since this is sort of a remix, or darker spin-off.
5. Your character can be mean, but don't be rude ooc.

What they did after the competition/brief background:

Name: Veruca Salt
Age: 17
Sexuality: lesbian
Appearance: Veruca would be called beautiful, if not for the scars she has after the original trip to the factory. She has long, coffee brown hair that falls in waves to her mid-back and wide, doe-like eyes the color of maple syrup. She has a sprinkling of freckles across her nose and cheeks and rosebud lips. Her skin is fair, and mostly unmarred besides some freckles and, of course, her scars. She has several scratches on the right side of her face that never quite healed, because those squirrels were not any natural kind of animal, and neither were their scratches. She also has some scratches on her legs and arms as well. Of course, her constant scowling and icy demeanor also probably doesn’t make her any more easy to be around. Veruca is thin, as she is a ballerina, and average height at 5’ 4”. She still wears nice clothes and dresses up no matter the occasion, though she doesn’t have the sheer amount of clothes or even the designer brands she used to, but she pretends to be the same anyway.
Scars left from the competition (mental and physical): As well as her literal scars from the squirrels, she is afraid of squirrels as well. Even though logically those squirrels were not any natural animals, Veruca is still terrified of them.
Personality: Veruca is still as haughty and cold as ever, but less demanding and greedy. She is not a nice person and does not pretend to be a nice person. However, her unfriendly attitude and general rude manner hides a keen wit and determination. She has a biting and sarcastic sense of humor, and still acts like she has all of the money and friends in the world, despite having neither of those things. She likes to take charge and boss people around, especially people who she doesn’t like (and she definitely didn’t like any of the other kids with golden tickets). But while she’s cold and stubborn, she also knows that she isn’t the only person in the world who matters. Veruca will—reluctantly—help other people if need be. Her off putting personality is mostly protection for her vulnerabilities—she’s afraid that she’s not good enough and doesn’t always hate people as much as she pretends to.
Strengths: Wit, loyalty, determination, some self defense, dancing skills (she does ballet), and acting skills.
Weaknesses: Being stubborn, putting up walls around herself, doesn’t know a lot about fighting (like martial arts or anything), bad at working with others.
What they did after the competition/brief background: After the competition, her parents began to be more strict with her. Veruca’s father was brainwashed by the Oompa Loompas and he never let her out of his sight. Of course, since he was now more or less a puppet to Willy Wonka, he couldn’t remember a lot of things about his job or anything requiring specific knowledge, so he was fired. This left Veruca’s family in a tailspin, because they were rich and used to living in luxury. With every year, her father became more and more crazy, eventually driving himself mad. Veruca’s mother was very upset, and fell into a depression. Her mother was still used to luxury, and began using up their money in maintaining her lifestyle. Eventually, as their funds dwindled, Veruca realized she had to get a job. She started working at sixteen, and did everything she could to keep herself and her mom going. She felt hopeless, and was incredibly furious with Willy Wonka. Of course, every time she had said that he tried to murder her, the media only heard a spoiled child. One day, Veruca was so livid that she decided to hurt Willy Wonka to get revenge. Naturally, this ill-conceived idea led nowhere, but she managed to learn something about Mr.Wonka before she tried to enact her revenge: the whispers of his plot. She then searched far and wide to figure out exactly what he was trying to do, bringing back some repressed memories and new information as well. Then she knew what she had to do: call the other three. As much as she hated them, they were the only others who knew much about the factory and what awaited them if they tried to fix everything.

Name: Mike Teavee
Age: 16
Sexuality: Bi
Appearance: Mike is a skinny and lanky teenager. He stans at about 6'2. He has messy brown hair that stands up and light green eyes. He usually wears jeans and some sort of box shirt under a black jacket or hoodie. He has stretch marks all over his body.
Scars left from the competition (mental and physical): Mike has plenty of physical scars, as they had to use the taffy machine to stretch him back out to full size. The process to make him normal size again was agonizing and did cause him to have a fear of big machines. He remembers no matter how loud he screamed for it to stop, no one would stop the machine, and they purposely kept his father outside the room. He's not sure if his father heard his screaming or not.
Personality: Mike is quiet compared to when he was at the factory. He doesn't speak as much anymore. He is still incredibly smart, but doesn't show it off anymore.
Strengths: Smarts and knowledge about machines and electronics, his ability to put people at ease, his height(?)
Weaknesses: Let's himself get pushed around, his height (he can't fit is small places and hits his head on things)
What they did after the competition/brief background: Unlike Veruca, Wonka didn't have to brainwash Mikes parents. The damage had already been done. Mikes mother blamed everything on his obsession with TV, where Mikes father blamed everything on Wonka. They ended up divorcing and Mike lives with his father. He was and still is picked on by students at school. He threw out his TV set and settled on reading, listening to the radio, and podcasts more. Even if he does watch TV, he get uncomfortable when comercials come on, expecially Wonka ones.
