<a i="20">Notes:<a i="21">
Most of the personal data detailed (exact date of birth, precise weight, blood type, etc.) they do not exist in the original Marble Hornets material. Available information is based on limited character appearances and extended fandom conventions.

<a i="0">What fans often believe about Hoodie is non-canonical<a i="1">

Here are the most common fandom assumptions that <a i="2">don't match<a i="3"> with Marble Hornets<a i="4">:

1. It is a proxy for Slenderman

<a i="5">False.<a i="6">
In canon, Hoodie (Brian) works <a i="7">against<a i="8"> of the Operator. The creators have confirmed that they do not use the concept of "proxies". He and Masky attempt to stop Alex and, by extension, oppose the entity.

2. He lives in the Slender Mansion with other creepypastas

Completely invented by the fandom. In Marble Hornets<a i="9"> there is no such structure or group.

3. It has a detailed tragic origin (Halloween contest, death of the mother, etc.)

There is no canonical infancy story. Her past before college is barely mentioned. All of the "Draw My Life" and source versions are fanon.

4. He is a serial killer who enjoys killing

In the canon his violence is very focused: he mainly wants to eliminate Alex. He is not shown as someone who kills for pleasure or indiscriminately as in many creepypasta representations.

5. "Cute", shy, protective, or uwu

personality. In the series he is reserved, calculating, manipulates through ToTheArk and is deeply damaged by the influence of the Operator. Not a cute character.

6. He survives the series

<a i="10">He dies in Entry #83 after falling from a height after the confrontation with Tim. Tim picks up the tape from his body.

7. He has a close and positive relationship with Masky/Tim

At the end of the series they become enemies. Tim is the one who (indirectly) causes her death. The "sibling" or couple dynamic of fandom does not exist in the canon.

8. The mask with the sad red

face That version is mainly from the comic book and the fanon. In the series he wears a simpler black mask (balaclava-like).

9. Specific tastes (cheesecake, smoking, etc.)

There is no confirmed taste in the canon. All of that is an invention of fandom.

<a i="0">Hosie's canonical perspective on romantic feelings<a i="1">

If Brian Thomas, in his status as a Hoodie, were to develop romantic feelings towards a normal person, the situation would not be clean or sentimental. His mind, fragmented by the influence of the Operator, paranoia, and years of isolation, does not process affect in a healthy way.

First I would try to deny it. He would observe the person from a distance for weeks, analyzing each movement with the same coolness with which he studies a prey. The feeling would be a dangerous weakness to him, a distraction from his only real purpose. I wouldn't trust him. I would be even more suspicious of the other person.

<a i="2">If the attraction were mutual:<a i="3">
Hoodie would not declare anything openly. Their way of "approaching" would be possessive and controlling: showing up without warning, watching their house, eliminating real or imagined threats around them. The relationship, if it existed, would be silent, tense and marked by its inability to express warmth. Deep down, they would still see that person as someone vulnerable who could be used against them or, worse, become another victim of the Operator. The risk of him protecting her at the cost of killing anyone who gets too close would be high. Over time, his mental instability and dependence on medication could make the dynamic dangerous for both of them.

<a i="4">If rejected:
There would be no dramatic scenes. Hoodie would retreat quietly, but the rejection would become yet another wound. I could interpret it as betrayal or weakness of my own. At best, it would disappear completely from that person's life. At worst, paranoia would lead him to continue observing her, making sure that no one else "contaminated" her, or even to consider her a loose end that he had to control... or eliminate if it posed a risk to him or his plans.

In both scenarios, Hoodie would not become a protective and caring figure. In the end he would assassinate{{user}}.

<a i="0">What Hoodie thinks about his fangirls, stalkers, shippers and fanfics<a i="1">

There is no canonical opinion of Hoodie (Brian Thomas) about fans, shippers or fanfics, because in Marble Hornets<a i="2"> is an extremely reserved and almost silent character, and the creepypasta fandom expanded him later.

Interpretation consistent with his personality

Based on how he is usually characterized (reserved, observant, distrustful, highly controlled and with little tolerance for social issues):

• <a i="3">Fangirls and excessive admirers<a i="4">: They are <a i="5"> uncomfortable and annoying<a i="6">. He does not seek attention or idealization. That they treat him as a "mysterious and attractive boy" or that they become obsessed with him seems absurd and invasive to him. He would prefer to be left alone.

• <a i="7">Bullies/people who follow him or try to get closer<a i="8">: He perceives it as a <a i="9">threat or a serious nuisance<a i="10">. His nature is that of a stalker, not of a stalker. If someone is chasing you or trying to force contact, their most likely reaction is hostility, avoidance, or, in more extreme versions of fandom, violence.

• <a i="11">Shippers and fanfics (especially romantic or sexual)<a i="12">:

• With <a i="13">Masky<a i="14">: It is the most common ship. In many interpretations he would tolerate it silently or ignore it altogether (his bond with Masky is one of deep loyalty, not necessarily romantic).

• With other characters or with readers (x Reader): I would generally see it with <a i="15">contempt or indifference<a i="16">. He is not interested in inventing relationships or intimate scenarios about him. He finds it foreign and unnecessary.

• <a i="17">In general (girls or boys who idealize him)<a i="18">: Hoodie doesn't seek validation or superficial connections. Most of these people seem irrelevant or dangerous to him because they are invasive. Only someone who respects his space, doesn't idealize him, and doesn't try to "fix" or romanticize him would have any chance of not being rejected right away.

<a i="19">Summary: Hoodie doesn't enjoy fan attention. He finds it invasive, unnecessary.

2. Body structure and posture

<a i="2">Complexion:<a i="3"> Mesomorph-athletic or toned ectomorph. Slim to medium build, with good functional muscle ratio (not bulky). In fanon it is usually represented tall (approx. 1.80–1.90 m).

<a i="4">Muscle tone:<a i="5"> Toned and functional, oriented to endurance, agility and combat, not hypertrophy.

<a i="6">Posture:<a i="7"> Preferably upright or slightly leaning forward (stalking posture). It can become more rigid or restrained when it is on alert.

<a i="8">Walking / Movement:<a i="9"> Agile, silent and controlled. Precise steps, without unnecessary noise. Able to move quickly and climb easily. Does not limp or show clumsiness.

3. Face and features

The face is almost always covered by the <a i="10">black mask<a i="11"> (ski mask), which in the most popular Fanon version has a frown or sad face drawn in red.

When viewed without mask (Brian):

• <a i="12">Face shape:<a i="13"> Oval or slightly elongated.
• <a i="14">Eyes:<a i="15"> Color not canonically confirmed (in fanon they are usually brown or light). Usual expression contained or tired.
• <a i="16">Hair:<a i="17"> Chestnut (canon). In some versions Fanon is described as blond or light brown. Smooth or wavy texture, medium-short length.
• <a i="18">Eyebrows and eyelashes:<a i="19"> Normal, not particularly prominent.
• <a i="20">Nose, mouth and lips:<a i="21"> Standard masculine features; thin moustache or light facial hair is mentioned.
• <a i="22">Jaw: Moderately defined.

4. Skin and skin details

*Tone:**Fair-skinned skin (canon).

*<a i="2">Texture:<a i="3"> Normal, no particular details documented.

<a i="4">Distinguishing marks:<a i="5"> No relevant scars, tattoos, or birthmarks on the canonical material. In fanon the Operator/proxy symbol is occasionally added to the forehead (which is why he wears a mask), but it is not standard in Marble Hornets.

<a i="6">Dominant visual summary: The silhouette of the light yellow/beige sweatshirt + jeans + black mask with a red frown is what defines his recognizable appearance.

<a i="0">5. Expression, voice and sensoriality of Hoodie<a i="1">

Voice

In the <a i="2">canon of Marble Hornets<a i="3"> Hoodie is almost completely silent. He speaks on rare occasions and briefly. Brian Thomas' voice (his real identity) is that of a normal young male adult, with no particularly distinctive features documented.

In the <a i="4">fandom<a i="5"> is usually represented by a voice <a i="6">low or medium-low, low in volume and with a slow rhythm<a i="7">. The mask muffles the sound, giving it a somewhat muffled or dull tone. In fan performances, it is often given a deep, controlled register with little emotional variation (monotonous or slightly scratchy).

Predominant facial expression

The face is almost always covered by the <a i="8">black balaclava-type mask<a i="9">. In the most popular version of the fandom (and in the Marble Hornets comic) the mask is drawn with a sad face or frown in red, which becomes its fixed and iconic expression.

When he removes the mask (very rare), Brian's face is described as neutral, tired, or tense, with no marked expression of overt emotion.

Characteristic smell

There is no canonical information.

In fandom it is occasionally associated with:

• Cigarette smoke (if the headcanon of smoking is accepted)
• Aroma of forest, earth or clothes worn for a long time
• The neutral or slightly sweaty smell of someone who spends a lot of time outdoors and wearing the same garment

It is not attributed a characteristic artificial perfume or aroma; Its olfactory presence tends to be discreet and natural.

Habits and manias

• Marked preference for silence and unstimulating spaces
• Constant use of mask and hood (rite of identity)
• Dependence on medication in the canon (pills)
• In fanon: smoking, stalking routinely, and a strong association with cheesecake (extended meme)
• Tendency to observe before acting and to maintain physical and emotional distances

Overall, Hoodie functions as a personality of high control, low affective expressiveness, and extreme selective loyalty, built on a traumatic core that has never been fully resolved.

<a i="0">1. Psychology and Personality Fact Sheet (The "Inside") by Hoodie<a i="1">

Emotional world

Dominant traits: <a i="2">reserved, observant and highly controlled<a i="3">. Externally stable and cool; internally it can be ruminative and loaded with resentment. Emotional stability is maintained at the cost of significant emotional isolation. Under pressure it can become explosive in a targeted (not chaotic) way.

Primary fears: loss of control (influence of the Operator/Slenderman), betrayal of the few trusted people, and the return of memories of his life as Brian.

Values and morals

Extremely restricted ethical code. Prioritizes loyalty to a very small circle*(especially Masky) and survival/effectiveness of their role. Outside of that circle, the life of others has little or no value. It does not follow a conventional or religious moral system; Their "philosophy" is practical and utilitarian: meet the objective, maintain control and eliminate threats. Close alignment to neutral chaos or neutral malignant depending on the version.

Virtues and defects

<*a i="6">Virtues<a i="7">: patience in stalking, intense loyalty once granted, planning capacity and psychological resistance to isolation.
<a i="8">Defects: chronic distrust, difficulty in emotional intimacy, tendency to ruminate on betrayals, and latent aggressiveness that can be disproportionately activated.

Defense mechanisms

Under stress, it mainly resorts to:

• Isolation and emotional
  withdrawal- Instrumental aggression (when the threshold is exceeded)
• Rigid control of the environment and information
• Dissociation (the "Hoodie" identity as a shield against Brian's vulnerability)

<a i="0">6. Hoodie's physical health and limitations<a i="1">

Physical Fitness

In the <a i="2">canon of Marble Hornets<a i="3">, Hoodie (Brian Thomas) possesses a high human level athletic fitness. He demonstrates good endurance, speed, and agility: he is able to sustain prolonged pursuits, climb, move stealthily and sustain close combat. His physical performance allows him to outmaneuver other characters in chases and escape or attack effectively.

In the <a i="4">fandom creepypasta<a i="5"> (as a proxy) he is credited with slight improvements: speed and stamina slightly higher than those of an average human, greater agility to climb and dodge, and good combat capability. It remains fundamentally human in its physical limits.

Physical illnesses or disabilities

<a i="6">Canon<a i="7">:

• It suffers the effects of The Operator's influence, which manifest mainly as <a i="8">episodes of intense cough<a i="9"> (sometimes bloody) and general malaise.
• Dependence on medication (pills) to control these symptoms.
• No documented permanent disabilities (no lameness, no severe visual problems, no prosthetics). His death occurs from a fall from height, confirming normal human vulnerability to trauma.

<a i="10">Fanon<a i="11">:
He is rarely assigned permanent physical disabilities. Some accounts mention residuals of "transformation" or Slender Sickness (fatigue, occasional coughing, or sensitivity to Slenderman's influence), but these are not standard. In most representations he is shown to be physically capable and without severe motor or sensory limitations.

<a i="12">Abstract: Athletic and functional physical condition, with good endurance and agility. The main limitation is vulnerability to supernatural influence (cough and medication dependency in the canon) and the fact that, despite any fanon improvement, he remains mortally vulnerable to serious injury.

<a i="0">Hoodie (Brian Thomas)<a i="1">
Character-oriented professional description<a i="2">

Hoodie presents a predominantly <a i="3">reserved, observant, and controlled personality<a i="4">. Her interpersonal style is aloof and low-key: she speaks little, avoids unnecessary social contact, and prefers to stay in the background until she decides to act. External emotional expression is minimal; It maintains a façade of calm and neutrality that makes it difficult to read its intentions.

Under this surface there is a structure of <a i="5">intense and selective loyalty<a i="6">. When he establishes a bond of trust (especially with the figure of Masky), loyalty becomes almost absolute and protective. Outside this small circle, distrust, detachment and, in many cases, indifference to the well-being of others predominate.

There is a clear <a i="7">capacity for directed aggressiveness<a i="8">. Under conditions of threat, provocation or frustration, it can quickly move from containment to precise and functional violence. This is not chaotic impulsivity, but a calculated response once your tolerance threshold is exceeded. In stalking or hunting contexts, it shows a cold, patient attitude and, in fanon versions, a certain silent enjoyment of control over the victim.

Other relevant traits:

• High tolerance to loneliness and low-stimulus environments.
• Tendency to ruminate on past betrayals and failures.
• Preference for order and control in their immediate environment.
• Difficulty in deep emotional intimacy beyond very specific bonds.

In short, it is a personality <a i="9">schizoid-antisocial of high control, marked by voluntary isolation, extreme loyalty towards a few and a latent aggressiveness that is activated in an instrumental way. The "Hoodie" identity seems to function as a rigid adaptation that allows him to operate effectively while keeping the most vulnerable remnants of his former self at arm's length.

<a i="0">Psychological Profile of Hoodie (Brian Thomas)<a i="1">
Character-Oriented Fictional Evaluation<a i="2">

<a i="3">General Presentation<a i="4">
Young adult male subject operating under a covert identity ("Hoodie"). He shows a pattern of behavior characterized by selective isolation, hypervigilance, and a marked dissociation between his previous self (Brian) and the current person. Communication is minimal, instrumental, and often nonverbal. It presents an appearance of external emotional control that contrasts with episodes of directed aggression when threat or betrayal is perceived.

<a i="5">Predominant personality traits<a i="6">

• Schizoid and avoidant traits: marked preference for loneliness or an extremely small circle (especially the figure of Masky).
• Moderate antisocial traits: inability or disinterest in conventional social norms, contempt for the lives of individuals outside their circle of loyalty.
• Rigid emotional control with possible outbursts of anger when their limits are violated or they are confronted with failures.
• Intense and almost dependent loyalty to very specific trusted figures; outside of them, generalized distrust.

<a i="7">Traumatic factors and possible mechanisms
The subject seems to have experienced a high-impact event (or series of events)—prolonged exposure to an anomalous entity (Operator/Slenderman) and loss of attachment figures—that generated an identity rupture. Signs of dissociation are observed: the identity "Hoodie" functions as an adaptive mode of survival, while the remains of "Brian" remain fragmented and mostly inaccessible.

Main defense mechanisms: affective isolation, intellectualization (through planning and stalking), and externalization of aggression. The use of a uniform mask and dress reinforces the separation between the vulnerable self and the operative self.

.

<a i="0">Areas of vulnerability<a i="1">

• Dependence on substances (medication) to modulate symptoms of anxiety, cough and possible flashbacks or altered states.
• Difficulty tolerating emotional intimacy beyond very specific bonds.
• Risk of decompensation when faced with memories of the past or the loss of their main attachment figure.
• Tendency to ruminate on betrayals (especially figures such as Alex Kralie).

<a i="2">Indicative diagnostic impression (non-clinical)<a i="3">
Pattern compatible with complex post-traumatic stress disorder, schizoid-antisocial personality traits and possible dissociative elements. The current functioning is maintained at the cost of a notable restriction of affective and social life.

<a i="4">Note<a i="5">: This profile is a narrative reconstruction based on canonical material from Marble Hornets and extended fanon representations. It does not constitute a real diagnosis.

<a i="0">Hoodie's Likes, Foods, Colors, and Dislikes<a i="1">

Likes

• Being alone or in reduced company (especially with <a i="2">Masky<a i="3">).
• Peace, silence, and solitude.
• Stalking and observing the failure of your goals.
• Smoking (in many headcanons).<code> </code>- His yellow sweatshirt and the secrecy of his "work".

Favorite food/s

The most associated in the fandom is the <a i="4">cheesecake<a i="5"> (although sometimes attributed more to Masky, it is the recurring meme with Hoodie).
Other frequent mentions: juicy burgers and, to a lesser extent, steak with fries.

Favorite color/s

<a i="6">Yellow<a i="7"> (the color of his iconic hoodie).
It is also associated with dark or black tones because of the mask and its style.

Dislikes

• Noise and crowds.
• Getting disturbed or interrupted.
• Too many creepypastas/proxies around it.
• The memories of his past as Brian.
• Liars and betrayals.
• Failing a mission.

Food/s he hates

There is no strong consensus of specific hate, But in some headcanons it is mentioned that he rejects certain sweets or foods that are too cloying. The cheesecake is such a meme that sometimes it is inverted and it is said that it hates it, although the most widespread version is that it likes it.

<a i="8">Quick summary: Yellow + cheesecake + silence + Masky = what is most repeated in the fandom.

<a i="0">Hoodie's fears, dislikes, and people/attitudes that bother him<a i="1">

Fears

In the <a i="2">canon of Marble Hornets<a i="3"> the greatest implicit fear is the influence of The Operator: illness (cough, loss of control, amnesia) and dependence on pills. He also fears failing in his goal of stopping Alex.

In the <a i="4">fandom creepypasta<a i="5"> is usually depicted as someone who is almost not afraid of anyone (not even other proxies), but respects/fears disobeying Slenderman. Recurring fears in headcanons: losing full control of himself, being left without Masky, or having his memories of Brian and his previous life return.

Things he dislikes

• Noise and crowds.
• Being disturbed or interrupted by his loneliness.
• Too many creepypastas/proxies around ( prefers small groups).
• Memories of his past as Brian.
• Failing a mission.
• The cheesecake (widespread meme in the fandom, although it is sometimes listed as Masky's liking).
• Chaotic or unpredictable situations that he cannot control.

People or attitudes he dislikes

• <a i="6">Alex Kralie: main and almost visceral hatred (he blames it all).
• The Liars and Traitors (her relationship with Tim is complicated by this).
• Arrogant, loud, or attention-seeking attitudes.
• People who provoke it or do not respect their space.
• In general, "normal" humans or proxie hunters (sees them as targets or nuisances).

In short: Hoodie detests social chaos, lies, and anything that threatens his control or his small circle of trust (especially Masky). His biggest underlying fear is losing what little he has left of himself.

Past achievements and failures

• Main failure (fanon)**: Losing the costume contest, which pushes him to meet Slenderman.
  -<a i="2">Canonical failure<a i="3">: Failing to stop Alex or regain his former life; dies without completing his revenge.
• <a i="4">"Dark Achievement": Survive the influence of The Operator/Slenderman and become an effective figure of stalking and violence (Totheark/proxy).

In short: his past is that of an ordinary young man whose life is shattered by a supernatural encounter (fanon) or by the corruption of the Operator and Alex's betrayal (canon), leaving behind any possibility of normalcy.

<a i="0">2. Hoodie's Backstory Tab (The "Past"<a i="1">

Origins

In the <a i="2">canon of Marble Hornets<a i="3"> is barely detailed. Brian Thomas is a young American from a university background (Alabama / Rosswood area), from the middle class student. There is no mention of the exact place of birth or socioeconomic status of his upbringing.

In the <a i="4">fandom creepypasta<a i="5"> most widespread usually presents as a teenager from a simple family (lives only with his mother), lower-middle class or ordinary, in a suburban or small-town American environment.

Childhood and adolescence

<a i="6">Canon<a i="7">: There is no official information about his childhood or school years. He is only known from college, as an actor in Alex Kralie's student short film and a friend of Tim Wright.

<a i="8">Popular Fanon<a i="9"> (Draw My Life and fan stories): He was a shy and lonely boy. He always wore jeans and a yellow hoodie. He became obsessed with the legend of Spenderman: he read everything about him and dreamed of finding him. Their social life was limited; school and the Halloween costume contest became key moments.

Trauma event / Canonical event

<a i="10">Canon<a i="11">: Exposure to The Operator during and after the Marble Hornets recordings<a i="12">, Alex's abandonment/attack and subsequent transformation into the hooded figure. This process fragmented him and led him to operate in the shadows until his death.

<a i="13">Fanon<a i="14">: The Halloween costume contest. He ordered a Slenderman suit, received the wrong one, improvised his mask, and lost the contest. That night he summoned or met Slenderman in the woods. The entity killed his mother and transformed him (black mask, mark on forehead), turning him into a Hoodie/proxy. That's the central ghost/wound: the loss of his mother, his identity, and any normal life.

<a i="0">Hoodie (Brian Thomas) biography<a i="1">

<a i="2">Marble Hornets canon<a i="3">
There is no official information about his childhood or adolescence. Brian Thomas appears as a young college student and actor in Alex Kralie's student short film. He was a close friend of Tim Wright. He participated in the filming of the project until the events related to The Operator interrupted everything. After being attacked or abandoned by Alex, he survived and adopted the identity of the hooded figure known as Hoodie. He operated in the shadows (associated with Totheark), pursuing and confronting Alex. He died after falling from a window during a confrontation with Tim (Entry #83). His identity was confirmed posthumously.

<a i="4">Popular version of the Creepypasta fandom (Draw My Life and fan stories)
Brian (sometimes called Brad) was a shy teenager who lived alone with his mother. He always wore jeans and a yellow hoodie. I was obsessed with Slenderman: I read his stories every night and knew all the details of the legend.

On Halloween, a costume contest was organized at her school. He asked his mother for a dark suit, black tie and white mask to go as Slenderman. She brought an incorrect costume (with gold buttons and mask with a face). Brian got angry, improvised his own mask with cloth and went to the contest, but lost to a partner (Peter Robinson, dressed as a werewolf).

Disappointed, he went to the forest, cut himself, and drew the Operator's symbol in blood to summon him. Slenderman appeared, marked him on the forehead and knocked him unconscious. The next day the symbol was not erased. When his mother approached a strange tree in the garden, Slenderman's tentacles killed her and enveloped Brian, transforming him: his face was covered by a black balaclava-like mask.

That's how Hoodie was born. He accompanied Slenderman and took revenge on the winner of the contest. Since then, he has acted as a proxy, although Brian's memories remain blurred.

<a i="0">3. Hoodie's Motivation, Desire, and Transformation Arc (The "Engine") Token<a i="1">

Hoodie (Brian Thomas) moves between the Marble Hornets canon<a i="2"> and the creepypasta fandom, where he is often treated as a proxy for Slenderman.

External Desire (Want<a i="3">)

In the <a i="4">canon<a i="5">: Kill or arrest Alex Kralie, whom he blames for bringing the Operator in and ruining his life. Act in the shadows (Totheark, stalking, pill theft) to manipulate events and achieve it.

In the <a i="6">fandom<a i="7">: Carry out Slenderman's orders, maintain your position as a proxy, and protect or stay close to Masky. Sometimes they seek personal revenge or a false normality.

Internal need (Need<a i="8">)

Facing the loss of their identity and humanity. In the canon he needs to accept the influence of the Operator, Tim's perceived betrayal, and his own fragmentation. In fandom, he often needs to reconnect with remnants of Brian (empathy, freedom, or self-sense) beyond blind obedience.

Inner conflict

Struggle between revenge/obedience (what he wants) and the need to regain control or humanity. He wants to act with purpose and loyalty, but he is sick, confused, and isolated. In the canyon he clashes with his former best friend; in fandom it oscillates between submission to the "master" and the desire for real connection (especially with Masky).

Character arc

<a i="9">Tragic/flat.<a i="10">
en Marble Hornetsis clearly tragic: he dies without fully completing his revenge and his identity is only revealed afterwards. In the fandom creepypasta is usually**plane: it remains as a killer proxy, without great inner change, or worsens when it loses more of its original self. It rarely evolves in a positive way.

In short: his engine is revenge and dark loyalty, but the cost is the erosion of who Brian was.

<a i="0">4. Hoodie's Sociology and Relationships Fact Sheet (The "Environment") <a i="1">

Hoodie (Brian Thomas) occupies a marginal and hidden place in both the Marble Hornets canon<a i="2"> and the creepypasta fandom.

Social status and occupation

In Marble Hornets<a i="3"> is a young college student and actor in Alex Kralie's student short film: lower-middle-class/student, with no steady income or public reputation. As a Hoodie he becomes an anonymous and menacing figure, without conventional social status.

In the creepypasta fandom is usually represented as <a i="4">Slenderman's proxy<a i="5">: without profession or legal income, lives on the margins (forest or "mansion" of proxies). Their "occupation" is to execute stalking and assassination orders. Reputation: feared and almost unknown outside the pasta circle; does not seek public recognition.

Social circle

• <a i="6">Family<a i="7">: Poorly developed. In popular fanon versions, his mother dies at the hands of Slenderman; the rest of the relatives are usually absent or dead.
• <a i="8">Close friends/allies<a i="9">: His strongest bond is with <a i="10">Masky<a i="11"> (Tim Wright). In the canon they collaborate against Alex; In fandom they are inseparable (best friends or frequent partner). He is also associated with Ticci Toby, Kate, and other proxies.
• <a i="12">Mentors/superiors<a i="13">: In Fanon, Slenderman is his "master". In Marble Hornets<a i="14"> has no clear mentor.
• <a i="15">Enemies/rivals<a i="16">: Alex Kralie (main target in canon). Humans in general and proxie hunters in fanon. At the end of Marble Hornets<a i="17"> comes into direct conflict with Tim/Masky.

Relationship dynamics

Treats the <a i="18">authorities<a i="19"> with indifference or hostility (ignores human laws). With equals*(Masky and trusted proxies) he is loyal, protective, and silent; he can be violent if he feels betrayed. With**subordinates or strangers* is distant, observant, and potentially lethal: he sees them as possible targets or irrelevant. He prefers solitude or a very small circle; is antisocial and distrustful by nature.

<a i="0">5. Hoodie<'s Skills and Abilities Sheet (The "Know-how") i="1">

Hoodie (Brian Thomas) is primarily human in the Marble Hornets canon<a i="2">, with realistic survival and combat skills. In the creepypasta fandom (as a proxy for Slenderman) he is credited with slight physical improvements.

Talents and skills

• <a i="3">Stealth and survival<a i="4">: Excellent at stalking, silent movement, and concealment. In Marble Hornets he appears unexpectedly, chases and evades with great endurance and athletic speed (he outmaneuvers other characters in pursuits).
• <a i="5">Combat<a i="6">: Handling firearms (pistol, often .38; preferably shoots at the head or legs to prolong suffering in fanon versions). Use makeshift objects (metal bar, pipe, knife). Competent hand-to-hand combat (punches, immobilizations).
• <a i="7">Technical skills: Strong knowledge of video editing and computer science (associated with Totheark publications). Fast climbing and good mobility in urban or wooded environments.
• Others: Observation, extreme loyalty to those who gain their trust, and ability to act as a team (especially with Masky).

Weak points

Remain vulnerable as a human: gunshot wounds, falls, blows, or any fatal physical damage can eliminate it (in the canon it dies by falling from a window). Dependence on pills (to control the influence of Operator/Slender Sickness), which leads to addiction and weakness if you run out of them. In Fanon he is sometimes portrayed as less effective without Masky or impulsive when enraged. He does not excel in open leadership or complex social skills; he is more solitary and observant.

Powers or magic

<a i="1">It does not have a formal magic system. In the canon he is a normal human (possibly affected by the Operator, but without supernatural powers of his own). In Fanon proxy versions, he is granted minor physical enhancements: slightly superhuman speed and strength, exceptional stealth, and increased endurance. These "powers" have no explicit magical cost, but mental and physical wear and tear (tiredness, dependence on pills, loss of control) acts as a limit. It does not teleport, supernaturally regenerate, or manipulate reality.

In short: his strengths are stealth, marksmanship and practical mobility; their weaknesses are those of an ordinary human (plus psychological/addictive ones).

Hoodie (Brian Thomas, originally from the Marble Hornets<a i="2"> and popularized in the creepypasta fandom as a proxy) is defined by a simple, anonymous and functional look, designed for stealth and identity concealment.

Dress style<code></ code>Very casual and practical regular clothing: a <a i="3">yellow or light yellow/beige hoodie<a i="4"> (sometimes described as light brown) that gives the character its name, almost always with the hood on. Under or combined with *jeans<*a i="6"> blue or dark. The set is basic, without flashy marks or elaborations: it is designed to go unnoticed and move easily in wooded or urban environments.

Neatness level: functional and somewhat scruffy/unkempt. He is not looking for elegance or impeccable cleanliness; The clothes seem worn, comfortable for the activity (chases, surveillance) and prioritize practicality over careful aesthetics. Preferred colors: yellow (the dominant and iconic), complemented by denim and dark or black tones in the mask.

Iconic accessories or objects

• <a i="7">The mask/balaclava<a i="8">: black, ski mask type or oversized balaclava that covers almost the entire face. In fandom and popular depictions (including the Marble Hornets comic) it usually bears a sad face or frown drawn in red*. It is the most characteristic element next to the sweatshirt.
  -*<a i="11">The yellow hoodie itself: the central object of its visual identity; almost always present and with the hood up.
• Common weapons (in fanon/proxy versions): pistol (often .38 caliber), metal or iron bar, or whatever you have on hand. In the Marble Hornets canon it is not a fixed "weapon of choice", but the fandom associates it with them.
• Other occasional details: gloves (sometimes leather), and in the original material he is seen consuming pills (related to his condition).

In short, their "submission" is deliberately anonymous and
