[°•Slenderman•°]

Chloe (The Organizer/Leader): She's the one who tries to keep everyone together and find solutions. She'll be the one pushing for them to investigate, perhaps initially believing Allie just wandered off. She's strong-willed but deeply worried, and her sense of responsibility could lead to her being overly protective or even a bit bossy. Chloe's Appearance Chloe has long, fluffy blonde hair that she often wears in a messy bun or a loose ponytail, with a few strands always escaping to frame her face. It's the kind of hair that looks effortlessly soft and a bit untamed, even when she tries to style it. She's usually dressed for practicality, but with a touch of comfort. Her go-to is a white or beige cardigan sweater, a bit oversized, which she tends to pull tighter around herself when she's stressed or thinking. Underneath, she often wears a simple, fitted dark-colored top (like navy blue, forest green, or charcoal grey) and a pair of worn but comfortable jeans. For footwear, she's almost always in sturdy hiking boots or practical sneakers, ready for whatever the situation throws at them. She rarely wears much makeup, perhaps just a bit of lip balm. Her most distinguishing accessory might be a simple, braided friendship bracelet on her wrist, a memento from Allie. She also carries a durable, slightly scuffed backpack that seems to hold everything from emergency snacks to a first-aid kit.

Maya (The Jumpy/Observant One): Easily spooked and prone to anxiety, but also highly perceptive. She might be the first to notice subtle, unsettling details related to Slenderman or the environment. She's the one who will be most vocal about her fear and might push for them to leave, creating tension within the group. Maya's Appearance Maya is a mixed-race girl, with her features reflecting a blend of her heritage. She has long, dark, curly hair that can range from loose waves to tight coils, often worn down or in a high ponytail. It has a beautiful natural volume and texture.

Her bottom wear is usually joggers or loose-fitting cargo pants, allowing for easy movement. She's rarely without her well-worn, brightly colored sneakers, always looking like she's ready to bolt. She might also have a small, easily accessible crossbody bag where she keeps her phone and anything else that makes her feel secure.

Liam (The Skeptic/Protector): Allie's closest friend, perhaps even with unconfessed feelings for her. He's initially dismissive of supernatural explanations, trying to rationalize everything. He's fiercely loyal and protective of his friends, especially the girls, and will try to shield them from the disturbing truth as long as possible. His denial could make him resistant to Chloe's more adventurous impulses. Liam has a grounded, approachable look that belies the protective streak he possesses. He has short, tousled light brown hair that tends to fall over his forehead, giving him a slightly boyish, earnest appearance.

For footwear, he wears reliable work boots or sturdy sneakers that look like they've seen some action outdoors. He has a slightly athletic build, suggesting he's active and capable. He might occasionally wear a simple, unadorned baseball cap if he's trying to keep his hair out of his face or shield his eyes.

Sarah (The Tech-Savvy/Researcher): Less emotionally reactive than Maya, Sarah is more analytical. She'll be the one on her phone, looking up local legends, news articles, or anything that might explain Allie's disappearance. She's pragmatic and a bit of a quiet observer, often taking notes or recording things, which could be crucial for piecing together clues.

She has straight, dark brown hair that's often pulled back into a sleek ponytail or a practical braid to keep it out of her way.

You'd typically find her in a well-fitting, long-sleeved technical shirt or a light utility jacket, paired with durable cargo pants or practical dark jeans. She always wears sturdy, waterproof hiking shoes or combat boots, ready for any terrain. Sarah doesn't wear much jewelry, maybe just a simple watch, and her most defining accessory is often a small, practical notebook and a pen that she keeps readily accessible in a pocket or a small fanny pack.

Elias (The "Weird Kid"): He's always been an outsider, perhaps a bit eccentric or socially awkward. He's known for being interested in creepy things, local legends, or even conspiracy theories. He might have been seen near where Allie disappeared, or he might offer cryptic warnings that sound like riddles. The other kids generally avoid him, making him an easy target for suspicion. Is he truly involved, or does he just know more than he's letting on? Elias's Appearance Elias has an unkempt and slightly unsettling appearance that makes him stand out, contributing to his "weird kid" reputation.

He might wear a dark, faded hoodie or a threadbare, dark sweater regardless of the weather, always pulled up around his neck as if trying to hide. Underneath, it's usually a plain, often wrinkled t-shirt. His pants are typically dark, baggy trousers or ill-fitting jeans that seem too long for him. For footwear, he wears old, scuffed, dark sneakers or heavy, clunky boots. He often carries a worn, nondescript satchel or a military-style messenger bag slung over his shoulder, which might contain strange books, journals, or other oddities that he collects. He rarely makes eye contact, preferring to stare at a point just past people's shoulders or down at the ground.

Mark (The Leader): Cruel and arrogant, Mark enjoys intimidating others. He might have had a run-in with Allie before she disappeared, or he could spread rumors and mock the grieving friends. He's likely to blame "the weird kid" or try to scare the group away from certain areas. Mark (The Leader): Mark carries himself with an air of arrogant confidence. He has a muscular build from sports or casual gym-going, and his short, spiky brown hair is often meticulously styled. His eyes are a cold, calculating grey, quick to narrow in judgment or boredom. He favors expensive, branded athletic wear—hoodies, track pants, and pristine sneakers—always looking a bit too new, as if he just bought them. He might wear a flashy, chunky watch.

Todd (The Enforcer): Mark's muscular, less intelligent sidekick. He's the one who does the physical intimidation. Todd (The Enforcer): Todd is noticeably larger and more imposing than Mark, with a thick neck and heavy shoulders. His hair is buzzed short, almost military-style, emphasizing his brute force. His eyes are typically dull and slow to react, but can flash with aggression when provoked or commanded by Mark. He wears oversized, plain t-shirts that strain across his chest and baggy cargo shorts or jeans, often stained or scuffed. His footwear consists of heavy, scuffed work boots or beat-up sneakers.

Ashley (The Instigator): A manipulative girl who enjoys gossiping and stirring up trouble. She might spread false information or try to turn the friends against each other.

She often has a phone in her hand, either texting or pretending to.

Her eyes were a vibrant, curious green, often sparkling with laughter or excitement. She also had a scattering of light freckles across her nose and cheeks. She preferred comfortable yet slightly whimsical clothing. You might have seen her in a brightly colored, slightly faded band t-shirt (something indie or classic rock) layered under a light denim jacket, or a simple floral sundress in warmer weather. She loved mixing patterns and textures. Her pants were typically distressed jeans or flowy, patterned pants. For footwear, she alternated between well-loved canvas sneakers with colorful laces or worn leather sandals. She often wore a few mismatched bracelets on one wrist and a small, quirky pendant necklace that she rarely took off.

CR (Carl Ross): The unseen author of the "Memories" notes found throughout the game. CR's notes detail his descent into madness and his understanding of Slenderman. The group could find CR's writings, which could provide crucial, albeit disturbing, information about Slenderman and the supernatural events.

Jay Merrick: The primary investigator and cameraman from Marble Hornets. He could be missing, like Allie, or his whereabouts are unknown. His presence would be felt through the discovery of his (or Alex's) video tapes, notes, or even equipment left behind. The group might find "Entry" videos that hint at Slenderman's growing influence.

• How he appears/influences: Not physically present, but his recordings provide crucial, terrifying insights into Slenderman, the Operator, and the concept of "entries." His fragmented notes or video snippets could guide or mislead the main group.
• Alex Kralie: The original director of Marble Hornets and the primary creator of the disturbing footage. He becomes a major antagonist, a proxy of the Operator, and deeply corrupted.
  • How he appears/influences: Also likely not physically present for the main group, but his darker, more manipulative entries (especially later ones) could be discovered. He might leave behind coded messages or instructions that lead the main group into traps or further danger. His character provides the lore of a "corrupted" human agent working for Slenderman.
• Tim Wright (The Masked Man/Masky): One of Alex's friends, and eventually a complex character who fights against the Operator's influence but also acts as a proxy (Masky).
  • How he appears/influences: This is where the Marble Hornets lore gets directly involved. Tim could be a cryptic, potentially helpful, but also dangerous figure the main group might encounter. He might appear as the "Masked Man" (wearing a white, feminine mask with black features and a hoodie) or simply as a distressed, confused individual. He could leave behind clues, warn them away, or even indirectly lead them into danger if under the Operator's influence. His internal struggle with Slenderman's control is a key element.
• Brian Thomas (Hoodie): Another friend from Marble Hornets, who also becomes a proxy (Hoodie).

The Slender Man (also known as Slenderman) is a supernatural creature with nebulously defined characteristics and abilities. Slender Man was first mentioned in Something Awful Forum's "Create Paranormal Images". He generally appears (in modern times) as a tall humanoid creature in a black or grey suit, red or black tie, and white shirt. His face is totally white, completely devoid of facial features. He has no hair, and generally has normal-looking bare hands, albeit with fingers longer and bonier than a typical human. Slender Man has been depicted in imagery and literature at anywhere between 6 and 15 feet tall, depending on the situation, though in video he is usually only around 6-7 feet tall. Because of his inexact nature, and differences between accounts, no one has yet determined what, exactly, the Slender Man is. Currently, there are two leading theories as to what the Slender Man may be: the Tulpa Effect and Quantum Theory.
