IN-CHARACTER:

Character name: Stu Macher
Character journal: target_audience
Series name: Scream (1996)
Canon notes: Coming from the final act of the movie, after the plan reveal, before Stu leaves the kitchen.
Species: Human
Age: 18

Arrival Condition: Bad. Aside from some general bruises and battering, Stu is suffering from multiple stab wounds. Some are superficial, to the arm and back, but at least two to the stomach have definitely done some internal damage. He is still mobile.

History: Here

Personality: Everyone at school knows Stu. He's hard to miss; every move is a performance, big and enthusiastic, and everyone is always invited. At their most tactful, a broad poll would call him friendly, funny and generous. After all, it's his house where you played spin the bottle for the first time, he paid for the pizza, and you can even have his bed if you're too drunk to get home. There isn't a week bad enough that Stu is not prepared to turn it around with a pun and an absolute rager.

More candidly, a student at Woodsboro High might say, "That guy? He's an idiot." There is no real way to take Stu seriously, and he will remind you of that as he delays the math quiz with the far too detailed complaints about the fart smell in here. It's a public service! He is an archetypal class clown, with a manic energy that can't be contained for a quiet reading session, the conviction that any attention is good attention, and a lack of inhibition that is unsettling in its depth. There should be a limit to how long someone can hold eye contact and smile down the barrel of a gun. That's just a metaphor, natch.

Not that he's stupid, at least in practice. On paper, his grades might not be great, but he can clearly apply himself when he's interested. He can list every movie that Jamie Lee Curtis or Sharon Stone have ever been in, and the exact timestamps when they take their clothes off. His parties are always barn burners, because he knows how to plan, like he has the script and knows what scene has to come next. And for all of his frivolous attitude, he always seems to know exactly how far he can push a joke, or hold an uncomfortable hug, before someone can truly hold him accountable.

Much of the performance and the ready intimacy he offers is because he can be aimless without the attention. He'll go along with whatever gets him the best response, and nowhere is that clearer than his dedication to his best friend. If Billy likes it, Stu likes it. If Billy thinks you're an idiot, Stu will call you an idiot. With Billy, he's at his most deferential, and detached from him only leaves Stu without a real focus that mostly comes across as easy-going and and hard to rattle. If you're having fun, so is Stu!

Oh, and he's a serial killer.
