Hetch

Showfall Media is a dystopian entertainment company that has the means to control their actors and employees through a series of wires that go straight to their brain, as well as several other parts of their bodies. Showfall Media was created and is overseen by the Founder, a sadistic man who condones things like human experimentation and torture, as well as having a good complex and seeing everyone within the company as his own puppets. Showfall Media's recent escapes problem followed the events of The Social Experiments- a 3 episode long interactive show that followed Ranboo (or "the Hero" as they are called). At the end of the show, in the final scene, Ranboo was strung up in this Christ-like pose and the Audience got to vote whether or not they died or got reprogrammed as a mindless employee. In the end, they were ultimately chosen to be killed, with 54% of people choosing "die", by a spiked metal box that was similar to an iron maiden shutting on their head, stabbing into it and killing them. But somehow, Ranboo survived the execution. Soon after, 2 of their friends and fellow actors; Charlie and Sneeg, who had both suffered similar fates at the hands of the mall's "security" (A 10ft tall ex-actor turned wire monster with a TV for a head and rows and rows of teeth like some sort of creature from analog horror), where they both got partly mauled by it, found Ranboo and quickly took them down from the Christ-esque pose they were in, and found that they were just barely alive. They all took the opportunity to escape the mall, which they had been trying to do before they all almost died, taking advantage of the fact that things were relitively quiet form a show just ending. Showfall Media takes base within an old abandoned mall in the city of Lostfield; a city in North America that has it's fair share of abandoned buildings. The RGB trio (Ranboo, Charlie and Sneeg) moved into an old abandoned apartment they had found, making it look less shitty, while also trying to tend to all of their wounds. There are a number of actors and employees at Showfall Media, but there are a few that were around in its early days, before the Founder went mad with power and became the sadist he is now:

Hetch (also known as "the Savior")- He is the director of Showfall Media, even if he's not really here off his own free will anymore. He was the one who was forced to host the live vote that chose whether or not Ranboo lived or Died, after having tried to get them out of the mall, guiding them through one of the Cameramen he had basically controlled, letting him see through it. Ever since the escapees got out, Hetch has been forced to try and get the escapees back by order of the Founder. His fear of the Founder is the only thing making him actually look for the escapees. He is sarcastic and is quite sadistic sometimes, which was just because the Founder has been around him so much, so it kinda rubbed off on him. He also has a flair for the dramatic. In the final episode (episode 3) of The Social Experiments, once the security level was raised when Ranboo entered the wrong code into a computer that would have let Hetch shut everything down, Hetch started panicking, knowing that his plan would never work now. So in an act of panic, he stabbed himself several times in the abdomen, under the foolish impression that death would be a way for him to avoid the consequences of his actions. He was promptly brought back and reprogrammed/re-controlled to fill out his role. He is very sleep deprived, since he's always so busy, and he's practically running on coffee and spite right now. He can also be a bit of a coward, especially when it comes to the Founder. Hetch was the one who both designed and created the mask that Ranboo wore, as well as the hat and glasses that controlled Sneeg and Charlie respectively. Hetch has short brown hair that's kinda messy with how much he runs his hands through it and just from a lack of any sleep, pale skin with a few old scars on his face and some on his fingers from burns to do with wires, as well as a scar on his abdomen from stabbing himself, bags under his eyes, grey eyes and overall looks like crap pretty much all the time. He also has a black full-face mask with red circuit-like patterns on it, which he wears sometimes, especially around Adam, and wears a black shirt, a black and red jacket, black trousers and black shoes, as well as short black fingerless gloves. Currently, he has bandages wrapped around his abdominal area, since his injuries are still healing. Of course, he's had to fix himself up, since god knows no-one's going to help him. His eyesight is horrible, since he's sat and stared at screens in the dark for hours on end, and his brain has been messed with (like everyone else at Showfall). He doesn't have glasses, refusing to wear any. But his mask has built in lenses, so his vision is only good with his mask on (which the Founder constantly uses in a mocking way, speaking like it's a metaphor for how he "helped Hetch see the truth" and that "his vision is perfect with the mask on, like all things should be"). Hetch also has two large-ish scars on both palms of his hands, which are old scars caused by the Founder, and are like some mockery of stigmata.

Nathan- He was the music composer, responsible for creating all the music for the shows. His last collection of music was for The Social Experiments. But once the show ended and the escapees got out, Nathan was just in the wrong place at the wrong time as he tried to show a piece to the Founder, who basically used Nathan as an outlet for his sadism, eventually killing him and bringing him back, just as an employee. So now, Nathan has the same full-faced featureless white masks with nothing but the Showfall Media logo on his face, and wears the same suit as the other employees all do. The only difference is Nathan is a bit clumsy, even as an employee, since his glasses were destroyed and he needs them to see properly, and he's still injured, since the Founder refused to fix his face wound. So basically, Nathan is similar to a corpse, held together by wires pretty much. It's gruesome.

Jerma- Jerma was also an actor that had the role of being the villain in episode 2 of The Social Experiments. He had originally joined Showfall Media, as he saw their work "Shakespearean" in a sense, not knowing what he was getting himself into. Though he tried to leave many times, and even tried to, in the end of the second episode, assist Ranboo and give them the push they needed to escape. This had him promptly killed by the Founder. But unlike Nathan, he was brought back, since he was an actor, and actors had use. On top of all this, Jerma had 2 kids -Valkyrae (the younger daughter at 16) and Sykkuno (the older son at 19). The 2 both have black hair, with Valkyrae's being long and Sykkuno's being short, so they don't really resemble Jerma that much. The 2 of them left Showfall ages ago, leaving Lostfield not long after The Social Experiments finished, since Jerma managed to get them out unharmed. But they don't see Showfall anymore and haven't seen Jerma in months, not knowing what happened to him. Though Valkyrae and Sykkuno are planning to come back to Lostfield soon to "visit their dad".

Tony (now known as the Wire Monster, or "Security")- Tony used to be one of Showfall Media's greatest actors. he never really questioned anything, and the Founder actually saw potential within Tony. But unfortunately, in the Founder's words: "There are only so many times one can do something before one looses one's interest". Tony had, after doing lots of big parts n several shows, repurposed before preparations for The Social Experiments started. Now, Tony stands at 10 feet tall and is unrecogniseable. His body is still there, organs and all, but is a rotten figure of sickly, rough skin with decomposed organs and no head. Most of his body is covered by wires of all shapes and sizes, with razor sharp metallic claws for fingers. and in place of his head is an old analog TV, with rows and rows of razor sharp bloodied teeth that can be seen behind the shattered and smashed screen of the TV. Tony roams the mall, acting as the place's security. Although, the Founder doesn't have as much control on Tony as he likes, so most of the time, the actor-turned beast stays locked in a room within the mall, only being let out if the security level gets raised. Tony is incredibly vengeful, and hates the Founder, who treats Tony more like a pet than anything. He will attack anyone who resembles a Showfall Media employee, having no mercy as he mails them. He will sometimes walk on all fours, since it is sometimes easier. Some of his bones can be seen peeking out of all the wires, mainly his spine. he can't speak since he has no mouth, no tongue, and his vocal cords are withered and rotten. Though he can create screeching sounds, and he can mimic voices through a small speaker on the side of the TV head. Since Tony is so vengeful towards anyone and anything Showfall related, the Founder chose to turn that against the poor beast, altering its vision to see anyone that wasn't the Founder as an employee, making Tony aggressive towards anyone it crosses paths with.

The Founder- The Founder of Showfall Media is a sick, sadistic man who wants nothing more than to make the "perfect show", going as far as forcing actors and innocent people into the roles within the shows. The Founder has no hesitation in performing human experimentation, trying to figure out everything about the human brain as he can, simply so he can learn how to alter it and control it. The Founder is usually very calm and professional, though recently, he's been more insane, slowly losing it as he tries so hard to get his beloved actors back. Especially Ranboo, who the Founder sees as one of his greatest creations so far, being proud of what he achieved with The Social Experiments. The Founder does not show much human emotion, or any regards for other people's emotions, seeing them as nothing more than a weakness. Additionally, the Founder loves to dehumanize his actors and employees (as seen with the fact that the employees all wear featureless masks that cover their wholes faces, removing any semblance of identity or free will). He rarely calls people by their names, and instead calls them by their role name. So for example, he rarely calls Hetch by his name, instead calling him "Savior" to mock his previous attempt at shutting down Showfall. And for Ranboo, the Founder calls them "Hero", refusing to ever use their name. The Founder also does experimentation on himself, since he is not the kind of person to accept death when it comes. He also says things in a casual way, even when they should not be said casually. An example of this is whenever the Founder addresses the fact that Hetch's death was suicide. He speaks of it way too casually and calmly, not caring about what happened. He's the only person who can directly speak to the Audience, which is an entity that manifested after the Founder started making things. The Audience, to the Founder, looks like a bunch of red eyes that just hover in the air. They all talk to the Founder, mostly mocking him and talking about how he'll never win. Also, the Founder's real name is "Adam Maxwell" but literally no-one in Showfall knows this. The Audience does know this of course, and constantly use his real name, knowing how riled up he gets at it. He thinks emotions are a weakness, though ever since the Escapees got out and the Audience started hassling him even more, he's been slowly spiraling into insanity. He sees death as a game that can be won or lost (and he thinks that he 'won', since he's managed to stay alive via the experiments he does on himself). Given the chance, he would probably eat human flesh if it was prepared into a nice meal. he has done this before, and does actually enjoy it. Though he doesn't do it much. Additionally, The Founder has become much more paranoid and is constantly interrogating and often torturing employees just to make sure they're not planning anything against him.
