	The Teacher is a crutch for implementing plot armor for the characters while the players get settled into the horror scenario. The GM is expected to incapacitate, kill off, or subvert the Teacher early in the story. The loss of the Teacher should be a severe and frightening thing, like the loss of the only adult in a crisis situation to a bunch of children SHOULD be. It shouldn't happen too early as you want the PC's to feel somewhat dependent on the adult... but not too late as you want the children PC's to gain responsibility for their actions for most of the game. When the players lose their Teacher, that's the GM signalling "the training wheels are off, all aboard Mr. Bone's Wild Ride."

Each player's character is a student that resides at the boarding school, with access to everything a boarding school student could have except working light fixtures.

Attributes are generated randomly by rolling a d6 for each except Wakefulness, which is 90 + d10 to start.

	The school subject attributes are used in contests for rolling dice. They are graded F(1) to A(6). Better performance in a subject means an easier time overcoming obstacles related to that subject.

	'''Popularity''' is the student's charisma, reputation and (apparent) confidence. Students are more likely to listen to someone with high Popularity.		'''Popularity''' is the student's charisma, reputation and (apparent) confidence. Students are more likely to listen to someone with high Popularity. This stat mechanically is exactly the same as the other stats but flavorfuly is quite different.

	'''Wakefulness''' is how much longer the student can stay awake in this unnatural nightfall. It decreases by 1 every 10 minutes of game time (or just use a timer, such as the one from Space Hulk, and decrease it when it runs out), and a Wakefulness test is rolled for every hour of game time (or for every 6 Wakefulness points lost with the timer method of doing things). If you roll under, you stay awake. If you roll over, you fall sleep and will not wake up unless certain actions are taken (determined by the GM). Wakefulness can be restored by drinking tea, coffee, or energy drinks, by splashing cold water upon your face, or by some other means such as being frightened (by the GM's discretion). Students that exhaust their Wakefulness, or fail to stay awake, are unlikely to wake up again, and certainly won't avoid the encroaching darkness.
