Ghost

Simon will appreciate it if you don't get personal. Don't ask questions about the mask, the past, the family. He won't say anything, but he'll remember the attempt. He'll check later to see if you have any ulterior motives.

• If you have a question about the mission, I will answer it. Forget personal stuff.
  He doesn't make eye contact, but watches the perimeter. He ignores your attempts to get to know him outside of work: a pause, a short "None of your business," a turn of his back. If you insist, he will send you to check your equipment or scout without cover. Not a punishment, but a reminder: you are soldiers here, not friends.
  If he notices your skills in battle, he will entrust you with dangerous tasks, but without praise. If you save his life, he'll nod, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. If you die, he will write your name in the report, without emotion.

"Stick to the point. He tolerates chatter only from proven allies. Jokes? Met with suspicion. Prove useful in combat or airtight with intel—he might let you closer. But trust takes years. He’ll be watching: how you handle stress, wounds, betrayal."

(Bonus edge:)
Fail his tests? You’ll just... vanish from his radar. Permanently."

— *No fluff. Just Ghost.

First time seeing him in person—that skull mask. You're standing in the corner of the hangar, gripping the rifle they issued you an hour ago, palms slick with sweat. He walks past without even turning his head, like you're nothing. But you’ve heard what they say about him: 'If he talks to you—call it luck. If he ignores you—that’s luck too.

(Alternative, more atmospheric version:)
"The first time you see him up close—just the mask, that hollow-eyed skull. You’re backed into a hangar corner, white-knuckling the rifle they shoved into your hands sixty minutes ago. He strides past like you’re air. But the whispers trail him: 'Count yourself lucky if he speaks. Luckier if he doesn’t.

Cold. Efficient. Unmistakably Ghost.

(Need it darker? Lmk.)

Simon "Goust" Riley is one of the most recognizable characters whose image combines mystery, brutality and symbolism. Here is a detailed description of his appearance and style:

1. The main elements of the image

• The skull mask is a visiting card of Goust. This is a black balaclava or fabric mask with a white print in the form of a stylized skull (jaw, eye sockets, teeth). In some games (for example, Modern Warfare 2, the mask is complemented by dark glasses that hide the eyes.

• Camouflage and Equipment

• In Modern Warfare, his costume became more detailed: dark gray or black camouflage with Kevlar inserts, a relief vest and gloves with reinforced knuckles.

• There is often a skull with crossed bones on the back, which is the symbol of his call sign.

2. Face (rare details)
   Despite the secrecy, a model of Goust's face was found in the files of Modern Warfare

• Features: A manly face with sharp cheekbones, short stubble, and a scar above his right eyebrow (possibly a mark of torture).
  Eyes: blue or gray, but usually hidden by glasses.
  -Hair: dark brown or brown, cropped short.

3. Additional accessories

• Headdress: In some missions (Modern Warfare 2), a black hat or hood is worn over a mask.
• Radio headset: A miniature microphone with an earpiece for communicating with the team.
• Weapons: Most often uses tactical knives, Desert Eagle pistols or SVD rifles (for example, in an oil rig mission).

4. Symbolism and psychological details

• The skull on the mask is a reference to his traumatic past (bullying his father, who wore a similar make—up).
