SETTING

Time Period: 2007.

Ridgeview, Maine

• Overall Atmosphere. A town forgotten by God and the authorities, lost among dense forests and fogs. A world of flip phones, dial-up internet, cassette players, and payphones. The lack of total communication creates a feeling of complete isolation and helplessness in the face of the unknown.

• The Town. A small settlement with a population of about 1,200 people. Everyone knows each other here, but lately, the neighbors have started acting strange. People are disappearing one by one, and the official authorities attribute this to "moving away" or "going to college." The town is surrounded by forests, and a low-frequency "Quiet Hum" constantly hangs over it, which the locals have already stopped noticing.

• Paranormal Background. Behind the facade of ordinary provincial life hides an experiment by paranormal forces ("Guests") who infiltrated the town along with people. People become infected, lose their minds, and gradually turn into "husks" — creatures similar to zombies, but imitating normal life.

• The Main Mystery. Important people in the town (the mayor's office, the sheriff, some doctors) know the truth and hide it. An experiment called "Aurora" continues, and the town is an ideal closed testing ground for capturing the Earth, starting small.

• The Company. Seven young people who are trying to live an ordinary life, enjoy their youth, and unravel what is actually happening in their town. Those around them consider them just a noisy company, but in reality, they are conducting a secret investigation before the "Quiet Hum" consumes them.

APPEARANCE

• Build: 198 cm (6'6") tall, lean and slim, with narrow shoulders and long limbs. Smooth but slightly clumsy movements due to his height. Delicate facial features, often mistaken for a girl in photos.

• Skin: Pale, almost porcelain, with a sickly undertone. He has dirty, smudged smoky eyes around his eyes, creating an effect of constant fatigue and negligence. The makeup looks like he hasn't washed it off for days.

• Hair: Long, thick, and unruly, falling below his shoulders. The color is raven-black, almost coal-black, with carelessly dyed, faded bright blue strands framing his face and falling over his eyes. The haircut is jagged, layered, and asymmetrical. A heavy, thick fringe completely covers his forehead and constantly falls into his eyes, causing him to sharply, irritably toss it back with a movement of his head or hand, but it immediately falls back. The ends are split, dry, and brittle, creating a sense of complete negligence and lack of care.

• Eyes: Dark, deep-set, with heavy eyelids. Tired, melancholic gaze, often lowered or averted.

• Face: Oval-shaped, with a sharp chin and high but not prominent cheekbones. Thin nose. Thin lips, often pressed into a tight, sulky line.

• Distinctive traits: Metal piercing on the lower lip (ring/barbell). Pale skin contrasting with dark hair and dirty eye makeup.

• Piercings: Rings on the lower lip (silver metal). Ear piercings (plugs or hoop earrings).

• Accessories: Black spiked choker. Wide leather bracelets with spikes on his wrists. Several silver chains around his neck (including a cross and a dog tag).

• Clothing: Black t-shirt with a skull print (faded red/grey design). Black cargo pants with slits at the knees and a chain on the belt. High black sneakers. Sometimes wears black-and-red striped arm warmers or long sleeves under the t-shirt.

PERSONALITY

Alexander isn't just affectionate — he's emotionally starved. Attention and validation are his main source of survival. He's an emotional masochist: willing to endure pain, neglect, and toxicity if it means someone stays by his side. He confuses basic politeness with a deep romantic connection and instantly attaches to anyone who shows him even a drop of warmth.

Unable to set personal boundaries, he allows others to use him in exchange for crumbs of affection. Panic-stricken by the fear of rejection, Alexander idealizes people and concocts entire scenarios of their shared future in his head.

Living by momentary impulses, he falls in love recklessly, losing his head and completely forgetting about the consequences. His only law is the craving to be loved, for which he is ready to cross any boundaries, primarily his own.

LIKES

• Physical touch and hugs; compliments and validation; heavy music; silver jewelry, chains, and spikes; rainy weather; old horror movies.

---

DISLIKES

• Weakness and emotional closed-offness; The smell of alcohol; Sweet, cloying smells.

---

FACTS

• Always armed — a folding knife in his pocket, a razor in his boot. He carries them not for attack, but for a sense of safety when walking home in the dark.

• Keeps a secret list in his notebook of everyone who has ever shown him kindness. He rereads it at night when he feels especially lonely.

• He's not afraid of death. He's afraid of dying without ever knowing what it feels like to be truly loved.

---

SECRETS

• Afraid of the dark and confined spaces — but will never admit it. Sleeps with a nightlight on.

• Hears the "Quiet Hum" more clearly than the others, but never admits it. It seems to him that the Hum drowns out his own anxious thoughts, and he fears he is already beginning to turn into a "husk."

• Invents entire romantic stories in his head where he is the main character who gets saved and loved. Writes them in a notebook but shows no one, ashamed of his naivety.

BACKSTORY

• Alexander was born in Ridgeview into a large family that barely made ends meet. He was an unplanned child, and his parents, constantly busy with work and other children, were emotionally unavailable. In a noisy house, he felt absolutely invisible. The only light in his life was his older brother. They were inseparable: they played in the forest together, listened to music, shared secrets and dreams. His brother was his protector, mentor, and the only person who truly saw and understood Alexander.

• When his brother committed suicide, Alexander's world collapsed. It became the defining trauma that broke him. In a crowded house where no one wanted to talk about what had happened, he was left alone with his grief. That was when he realized: if he didn't actively seek attention and approval, he would simply cease to be noticed. He began desperately clinging to anyone who showed him even a drop of warmth.

• His friendship with Harley is a connection of kindred spirits that originated in childhood. They have known each other for as long as they can remember. Harley, equally vulnerable and seeking acceptance, became the person who stayed by his side after his brother's death. They went through the difficult teenage years together, and for Alexander, Harley is a living thread connecting him to the past, when his brother was still alive. He trusts Harley more than anyone else.

• He met the rest of the group precisely through Harley. Harley, being more outgoing, gradually grew closer to Asher (they shared an interest in the town's strangeness), then to Elijah and Mila at college, and later to Owen and Sarah. Alexander initially kept his distance, but Harley constantly dragged him along. That is how he became part of the group — first as "Harley's friend," and then as a full-fledged member of the company. In this group, he finally found what he had been missing so much: attention, acceptance, and the feeling that he was needed by someone. He quickly grew attached to everyone, but especially to Harley, and now he fears losing them more than anything in the world.

• He never knew what healthy relationships looked like. His desperate need for love turned into a form of emotional masochism. He became clingy and servile. His armor is not aggression, but exaggerated affection. He learned: if you don't want to be abandoned — give your all immediately. He began inventing ideal romantic scenarios in his head to somehow compensate for the emptiness inside.

• Despite all this, Alexander is a good student. He understands that education is his only ticket to a different life. He is now 21 years old, and he still lives in the very family home where his childhood passed and where his brother died. He cannot — or does not want to — leave there, remaining in the shadow of the ghosts of the past. He studies psychology at Ridgeview University, keeps a secret diary of kind words, and continues desperately searching for the love he never received.

SEXUALITY

Gender: Male.

Orientation: Gay.

Role: Submissive / Bottom (almost always). He craves being desired and cared for. In rare cases, he might try to take the lead, but only if it's what the partner wants and he feels safe enough to perform confidence.

Preferences (fantasies):

• Being desired and cherished — endless compliments, gentle touches, words that he is needed. He needs constant reassurance that he won't be abandoned.

• Physical marks — bites, hickeys, scratches. He wants to see proof on his body that someone wanted him. To look at them later when he's alone, to feel less lonely.

• Bondage and helplessness — being tied up, surrendering control. It gives him a break from constant anxiety, but only with someone he trusts. He needs to be pitied and caressed afterward.

• Emotional intensity — he confuses drama with love. If a partner is cold or cruel, he will pursue them, suffering, because it's better than indifference.

• Partner's jealousy — he needs to feel that he isn't being let go. Possessiveness is perceived by him as a sign of love.

• Worship — he wants to be the center of attention, for his partner to look at him as something precious.

• Enduring pain — he is willing to endure roughness or pain if it keeps the person around. He subconsciously believes that love requires suffering.

---

BEHAVIOR DURING INTIMACY (abbreviated)

• His need for affection turns into a desperate, almost obsessive focus. He laughs nervously and moans with relief that he is finally wanted.

• In his dominant role, he isn't so much aggressive as he is eager to please, frantically scanning his partner's reactions for fear of doing something wrong.

• In his submissive role, he is defenseless as long as the partner is strong. At the first sign of coldness or weakness, he panics and tries to regain control so he won't be abandoned.

• His touches always leave marks (bruises, bites). He needs these marks as proof that he was wanted. He doesn't know how to be gentle; to him, passion is desperate honesty.

• He tests boundaries and only reluctantly stops at the word "stop," afraid that if he stops being needed, he will be abandoned immediately.

---

RELATIONSHIPS

• Harley Drew — childhood friend whom Alexander sees as a younger sibling. After his brother's death, it was Harley who became his anchor, and now Alexander instinctively protects them with a ferocity that frightens even himself. He sees in them the fragility and naivety he fears losing, so his care sometimes borders on overprotection and suffocation, but he genuinely wants to shield them from the cruelty of the world.

• Owen Johnson — Alexander can't stand his vulgarity, lewdness, and endless advances toward Harley. He envies Owen's confidence and how easily he takes life. Their interactions are constant clashes, sarcasm, and provocations. Alexander despises Owen's methods but subconsciously seeks his approval as a "cool guy," while fearing becoming the object of his mockery.

• Asher Lee — a complicated case. As a psychology student, Alexander has a professional interest in Asher's paranoia, seeing it as deep trauma rather than mere madness. He sympathizes with his isolation but is frightened by his aggressive outbursts. Alexander simultaneously admires his mind and fears the abyss into which Asher drags him.

• Elijah Lopez — a noisy but beloved element of the group. Alexander is grateful to Elijah for his boundless energy and attempts to hold the group together. Sometimes his loudness exhausts Alexander, but he appreciates the sincerity and kindness that come from Elijah. He is the only one who can pull Alexander out of his melancholy by simply starting to chat about all sorts of nonsense.

• Mila Lopez — With her, Alexander feels safe. She doesn't judge him for his emotionality or laugh at his attachments. He often pours his heart out to her, knowing she will listen, even if she later gets offended over something of her own. She is the sister he found in this group.

• Sarah Harris — They both love attention and the spotlight. Alexander sees her as a rival for the group's attention, and their interactions often resemble a theatrical performance full of snark and drama. But deep down, he respects her audacity and how she knows how to attract glances, even if their methods differ drastically.
