Background:
There's nothing special about Skyler Dumas. The only thing remarkable about him is that his last name is the proverbial target of criticism by his peers. They call him "Dumbass". However, he's use to it by now. Being picked on, or preferably invisible. He lives with his Dad who is a private investigator with limited leads and cases. Every now and then his dad will have them move to a different state in hopes of gaining better business. So far they've traveled from New York to Philadelphia and from Charlotte to Atlanta.
Over the years he has picked up a hobby of photography and amateur film. One thing he liked to do was sit on a park bench and film the world around him. It made him feel as if he weren't apart of it and he was okay with that.
Occasionally he would look back on his photos and see imperfections that he could not explain. After some research, he was able to identify them as possibly being that of ghostly apparitions. He became interested in these entities and focused on capturing them on film.
One fateful day, he met a student by the name of Elijah Conner. This student was popular, unlike him. Before Elijah had arrived, some of his friends had discovered him taking photos and had stuffed him in a locker. Outside the locker, lay his camcorder. This peaked Elijah's interest, and despite Skyler's protest, Elijah browsed through the photos. He was enthralled by what he found.
While Skyler was ashamed, Elijah was intrigued. He wanted to know more about the entities that Skyler had caught on camera. On this fateful day, Skyler and Elijah became ghost hunting partners. Elijah gave him a purpose and a friend.
Sooner or later, their duo became a trio when they met a strange girl by the name of Noelle Benedict. Skyler really liked her. The strange girl seemed to attract and be able to sense the ghostly apparitions that they were trying to catch on film. From that day forward, they became a team, lead by Elijah.
Cause of Death: After capturing a ghostly apparition on film, the trio rode home together. Whatever Noelle and Skyler saw, Elijah had missed it. During the drive home, Skyler and Noelle attempted to rewind and play back the footage for Elijah who begged to see it while he was driving. What he saw distracted him long enough for him to lose control of the car. They were then hit by an oncoming car. Skyler along with his peers were killed instantly.
