### Life in 1986

#### Early Life

Harry Wright grew up in the small village of Murfield, Scotland, after having moved there as a toddler with his parents. Harry's father was killed when he was very young, and Harry firmly believed this to be the "act of the supernatural" that "took him". Harry made friends with Kyle Taylor, of whom went to the same school with him; Murfield Comprehensive School. The pair never left each other after first meeting and formed a close bond.

Even at an early age, Harry was a big fan of comic books and any other reading material of a similar nature. Whilst Harry had a fantastical mind, and even claimed to "be on the spectrum", there was much truth in his words. Around his teenage years, Harry and Kyle developed an unhealthy obsession with horror comic books mainly to do with the supernatural.

This encouraged the two to become Ghost Hunters, and they dedicated their lives to a higher purpose. At some point in his teenage years, Harry was given a job at Jack Thompson's comic book and family-video store, ,"Discovery Beyond", as a shop assistant, but he considered this a mere cover-up to his ghost hunting business he had set up with Kyle.

#### First Encounter of the Demogorgon Kind

Harry's fate as a Ghost Hunter was sealed when Jack Thompson, Emma Watts and Kevin Watson entered into Discovery Beyond on January 9th, 1986. Kevin immediately took a disliking to Harry and Kyle, seeing as he was a hardcore skeptic. What did not help was when Harry proved to be an "incompetent douchebag". Despite this, Harry and Kyle both chose to warn Kevin that the dangers of the paranormal were real. They believed that these supernatural entities were infesting their hometown and attempted to offer much advice on how to deal with these creatures, most of which was stereotypical assumption, but offered much validity. Obviously, Kevin denied it. However, before Harry could convince him any further, they witnessed Edward's powers first hand, as he proceeded to apprehend a thief robbing the store.

Whilst Kevin, Jack, Emma, Harry and Kyle were talking, Edward had been looking around the store - mainly wasting time until their conversation had finished. During this time, he'd been keeping a close eye on a shady individual who had entered the store, and even tried warning the group numerous times. So, when the thief tried to steal from the store, Edward took it upon himself to apprehended the suspect, firing an energy blast at the thief's left kneecap, disabling them.

After Kevin quickly voiced his disbelief of the event, Harry and Kyle quickly sprung into action, trying to defend the group from Edward using nothing more than a mop and a wire brush; it was during tis time that the pair announced that they were in fact Hunters of the Supernatural. After Harry and Kyle were quickly reassured that Edward was a friend, they lowered their guard; yet still remained wary.

Harry then gave Emma his phone number, in case they ever needed their help. The group then left the store. Harry and Kyle would not be contacted for 24 hours, until the next day, they received a phone call from a flustered Emma, of whom, announced that they were being attacked by a Demogorgon. After having their advice of killing the Demogorgon refused, they hung up on Emma. It was then Edward who quickly dispatched of the Demogorgon.

#### A Part of the Gang

The next day, however, Emma and the group, met up with Harry and Kyle once again but this time with knowledge of the origins of the creature. Whilst Emma and the group were annoyed at Harry and Kyle, they still remained accepting of their core beliefs and decided to let them into their group, so long as they were more helpful.

The newly-found group of friends decided that if they were to save Murfield then they would have to do it on their own - they would find the source and eliminate it, whatever the cost. The trouble was, they had no idea who that could be. Harry was the first to come up with the idea that he Demogorgon was simply the foot-soldier, and that something bigger was controlling them.

It was Edward that then further explained of the Gateway that was within the Murfield Institute, deep below the surface. Now they knew where the Demogorgon's lair was; the Upside Down. *But, how would they get in?*

#### End of Season One

Once this was done, Harry then discussed with Kyle how much they should charge the Gang for their services.
