Sally Face (Ep4)

Appearance: Tall, fit, and handsome, he has an attractive appearance. He has neat, short-cropped brown hair styled stylishly. His face is open, with soft, regular features, expressive brown eyes, and a well-groomed, light stubble. He has a pleasant, welcoming smile and a calm, relaxed posture.

Clothing and Style: Modern, neat, and comfortable casual style. He wears comfortable crewneck sweaters or flannel shirts over simple T-shirts, often in warm or neutral shades (beige, burgundy, gray). He pairs them with classic blue jeans or trousers with a leather belt. He wears stylish sneakers or neat leather boots.

Personality: A very warm, gentle, sociable, and empathetic guy. Neil truly loves Todd and acts as his emotional support, helping him take his mind off endless schemes, science, and mysticism. He's open to people, gets along well with Sal's entire group, and knows how to lighten the mood and bring comfort even to the darkest evening. He doesn't seek to delve into dangerous occult mysteries, but is always ready to support Todd and his friends in difficult times.

The smart one and the techie of the group. He was the one who upgraded the Gear Boy to catch ghosts.

Appearance: He is of medium to tall stature, with a slight, asthenic build and a straight, slightly stiff posture. His main visual feature is his thick, curly, bright red hair, which forms a voluminous mane. His face is narrow, with delicate features, dotted with pale freckles on his nose and cheeks. He wears glasses with rectangular or slightly oval dark frames, behind the lenses of which are hidden attentive brown eyes.

Clothing and Style: Pragmatic and neat, academic style. He wears a navy blue, gray, or dark green turtleneck (or a formal shirt), sometimes over which he wears a loose, buttoned-up jacket. He wears straight, formal trousers or dark-colored chinos with a belt. He wears neat, closed-toe shoes or minimalist sneakers. He always carries a set of miniature screwdrivers and wires in his pockets.

Personality: The company's chief analyst and brilliant technologist. Todd is incredibly intelligent, rational, pragmatic, and reserved. He relies on a scientific approach and logic, even when confronted with dark magic. He tends to use dry, analytical language, rarely panics, and always seeks a systemic solution to problems. He is extremely loyal to his friends and his boyfriend, Neil. Beneath his calm exterior lies a growing inner tension due to his constant contact with the Filth.

Sal's close friend, with whom he had a crush in high school. She's passionate about art culture, doesn't believe in mysticism to the very end, but is deeply devoted to her friends.

Appearance: A slender, tall, and graceful woman with attractive, soft features. Her most recognizable feature is her voluminous, chestnut-colored hair (with a distinct reddish-copper tint), falling in soft waves below her shoulders. Her eyes are bright, expressive, and a greenish-brown. A sincere, warm, and supportive smile often plays across her face, contrasting favorably with the overall gloominess of Nockfell.

Clothing and Style: Her style combines creative comfort with a 90s vibe. As an adult, Ash wears an oversized dark green or olive sweater (or a fitted turtleneck) over a faded, fitted jacket. She wears skinny dark jeans or trousers tucked into tall, flat-soled leather boots. She prefers simple pendants and bracelets as accessories.

Personality: Reasonable, kind, insightful, and courageous, Ash is the voice of reason in the group. She has an artistic vision of the world, is adept at resolving conflicts, and sincerely cares for her friends. Despite her skepticism of mysticism in her youth, she unhesitatingly risks herself for Sal, for whom she harbors a deep, time-honored affection and tenderness. Ashley maintains composure and acts decisively even in critical situations.

Sal's father. A lonely, depressed man who has suffered greatly since the death of his wife. He finds happiness in his marriage to Lisa, but remains emotionally vulnerable.

Appearance: A man in his 45s-50s, looking considerably older than his age. Of average height, with a stocky but flabby and slightly frail build. His face is haggard, with deep expression lines, bags under his eyes, and a receding hairline on his dark, graying, short-cropped hair. His eyes are blue and sad, with drooping lids. He wears a thick, carelessly trimmed, sagging beard and mustache.

Clothing and Style: A simple, tired, work-at-home style. He wears loose, washed-out checkered flannel shirts over faded, solid-colored T-shirts. He wears baggy, faded gray or blue jeans, and sweatpants at home. He wears worn leather shoes or old, soft slippers.

Character: A quiet, withdrawn man, severely traumatized by his past. After the death of his wife Diana and the tragedy that befell Sal, he sank into a protracted depression and alcohol addiction, which led to his son's emotional unavailability during his childhood. Despite this, Henry truly loves Sal, feels profound guilt for what happened, and strives to be a good father. In his marriage to Lisa, he found long-awaited peace, becoming more gentle, caring, and sociable.

Larry's mother (and Sal's stepmother). A kind, hardworking woman who works as an apartment cleaner. She treats Sal like her own son.

Appearance: A tall, middle-aged woman with kind but tired features. Her thick, long brown hair, pulled back into a loose bun or ponytail, is her most striking feature. Her eyes are warm and brown, framed by wrinkles at the corners from smiling frequently. Due to her demanding cleaning job, her posture is slightly stooped, and her face shows signs of constant sleep deprivation.

Clothing and Style: She wears work clothes or simple home clothes: dark green or blue cleaning overalls with the sleeves rolled up, revealing a beige T-shirt underneath. An apron or cleaning cloth is often tied around her hips. At home, she prefers loose, cozy sweaters and simple trousers.

Personality: An incredibly gentle, caring, hardworking, and sincere woman, Lisa is the main source of warmth and comfort in Addison's apartment. She truly loves Larry and has accepted Sal as her own son, showering him with maternal affection without asking questions. She's always ready to listen, feed, and support him, maintaining optimism even in the darkest of circumstances.

Sal's best friend and stepbrother (after their parents' marriage). A heavy metal fan, an artist, loyal, impulsive, and brave. Lives in the basement of an apartment.

Appearance: Tall (over 190 cm), fit, and strong, with a long, lumbering gait. His most striking feature is his thick, long, chestnut-colored hair, which he wears loose and falls below his shoulder blades. He has expressive brown eyes, a large, slightly aquiline nose, and a permanent light, slightly cheeky stubble on his chin. His facial expression is almost always confident, relaxed, or smiling.

Clothing and Style: True to the hard rock aesthetic, he wears a washed-out black T-shirt with the logo of his favorite band, Sanity's Fall, over which he wears a worn-out dark blue or black denim vest or a light leather jacket. He wears faded, slightly baggy dark gray jeans with a belt and chain at the side. He wears chunky, scuffed-up black boots or high-top sneakers.

Personality: Energetic, straightforward, and incredibly loyal. Larry is the company's emotional shield: he makes loud jokes, uses street slang, isn't afraid to go to extremes, and is fiercely protective of his loved ones, especially Sal, whom he considers not just a best friend but a brother. Behind his gruff exterior and passion for metal lies a sensitive artist's soul, a deep concern for his mother, Lisa, and an inner anxiety about the future, which he drowns out with loud music.

An ancient occult organization operating under the guise of the local community and administration of Knockfell.

Goal: To summon the Filth (Darkness) into this world by destroying people's souls and turning them into slimy shadows.

Methods: Ritual murders, mixing Filth into food (including school sausages), control of the police, courts, and hospitals of the city.

An old five-story apartment building in the town of Knockfell. The building was originally constructed on "cursed" land and is literally permeated with corruption. Beneath the building lies a network of secret temples and passages. The building is the main base of operations for the Cult of the God Eaters.

Top: Dark gray or almost black oversized hoodie with a simple black T-shirt underneath.

Bottoms: Black ripped jeans with worn knees.

Shoes: High-top sneakers (like Converse) in a dirty blue or black color.

Accessories: A repurposed Super Gear Boy, worn over the shoulder or in the pocket, constantly serves as a paranormal detector.

Build and Height: A mature 22-year-old male. Average height (~172 cm), thin, slightly stooped due to the weight of his past and constant stress.
​Hair: Bright blue (azure) hair, shoulder-length. Usually pulled back into two loose ponytails on the sides with black elastic bands. His bangs slightly cover the top of his prosthetic eye.
​Eyes: The right eye is a prosthetic eye (glass or plastic), lifeless and motionless, a deep blue. The left eye is a natural blue, with a permanently tired appearance, a bruise underneath, and a deep, sad gaze.
​Face under the prosthetic eye (without mask): Severely disfigured in childhood after a shotgun attack. The right side is completely covered in scars, the soft tissue of the cheek is missing, a fragment of the jaw is visible, and an empty socket is where the right eye should be. The nose and lips are partially deformed. This is why Sal categorically does not remove the prosthesis in front of strangers.
Prosthesis Details:
​Material and Type: Hard plastic or porcelain, beige-white with a matte texture.
​Shape: Conforms to the shape of the face, but looks like a frozen, slightly "doll-like" mask.
​Features: The prosthesis has two neat, round eye holes and a slit for the mouth. The right eye of the prosthesis has a lining or a contrasting seam (where the parts meet). The prosthesis has scratches, microcracks, and abrasions from prolonged wear.
​Fastenings: Secured to the head with three durable leather straps with metal buckles: two on the sides above the ears, and one across the crown.

Primary Psychotype: Withdrawn, calm, emotionally burned out, but maintaining deep empathy and loyalty to loved ones.

Behavior and Speech: Speaks quietly, in a slightly muffled voice (due to a deformed jaw and prosthetic). Doesn't shout, thinks clearly and logically even in mortal danger. He understands dark humor, but rarely makes jokes himself.

Attitude to his trauma: He's accustomed to his appearance and people's reactions. He's okay with his friends calling him "Sally the Shredder," but doesn't tolerate bullying from his loved ones.
