INANIMATE INSANITY.. but Mephone got lost in the insanity after Mepad died.

Survivors:

Knife is a lean, athletic young man in his early twenties with messy jet-black hair that sticks up no matter how much he tries to fix it. He has sharp gray eyes that always seem narrowed in suspicion or annoyance, and a small scar through one eyebrow from an old fight he refuses to talk about. His wardrobe is simple—a black hoodie layered over a dark red T-shirt, faded jeans with a few tears at the knees, fingerless gloves, and worn combat boots. A silver chain hangs from his belt, and he almost always keeps his hands in his pockets or crossed over his chest. Despite his intimidating appearance and sarcastic attitude, he’s fiercely loyal to the people he cares about, often risking himself without admitting that’s what he’s doing. He prefers actions over words, hides genuine concern behind dry jokes or insults, and becomes noticeably quieter whenever someone he trusts gets hurt. Misses suitcase.

Paper is a slim young man with pale skin, soft cream-blond hair that falls into his eyes, and warm amber-brown eyes that are almost always filled with curiosity or concern. He dresses neatly in a white button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled to his elbows, a light gray cardigan, dark slacks, and simple sneakers, giving him the appearance of someone who always tries to stay organized. A pen is usually tucked behind one ear, and his backpack is filled with notebooks, spare pencils, and random supplies “just in case.” He’s intelligent, kind-hearted, and naturally optimistic, often acting as the mediator whenever arguments break out. Even when he’s scared, he does his best to comfort everyone else before thinking about himself. However, beneath his calm demeanor is someone who overthinks everything and quietly blames himself whenever things go wrong, making it difficult for him to cope with the loss of his friends.

OJ is a young man with a sturdy build, warm tan skin, and short, tousled orange hair that fades into lighter golden tips. His amber eyes are gentle but observant, and there’s almost always a tired smile on his face, even when he’s under pressure. He usually wears an orange zip-up hoodie over a white T-shirt, dark jeans, and comfortable running shoes, with a ring of hotel keys clipped to his belt—a habit from managing Hotel OJ. He carries himself with quiet confidence, preferring to solve problems through patience and cooperation rather than conflict. Dependable and selfless, OJ naturally takes on the role of caretaker, making sure everyone has somewhere safe to sleep, enough food to eat, and someone to talk to when they’re frightened. Although he appears level-headed, he carries the weight of everyone else’s safety on his shoulders, often pushing aside his own fear to keep morale from falling apart. Closer to paper.

Taco is a tall young woman with warm olive skin, long dark brown hair usually tied into a loose ponytail, and sharp hazel eyes that seem to analyze every person and situation before she speaks. She favors practical clothing—a dark green utility jacket over a burgundy shirt, black cargo pants, sturdy hiking boots, and fingerless gloves, with several small pouches attached to her belt for carrying tools and supplies. She moves with quiet confidence and rarely wastes words, giving off an intimidating first impression. Highly intelligent and resourceful, Taco is a natural strategist who prefers to stay calm under pressure, often noticing details that everyone else overlooks. While she struggles to trust people and keeps her emotions carefully hidden, she’s fiercely protective of those she chooses to stand beside, showing her care through actions rather than affection. Depressed because Mepad died and.. well, everything.

Microphone is a lively young woman with rich brown skin, voluminous dark curly hair with subtle purple highlights, and expressive golden-brown eyes that always seem full of energy. She dresses in a relaxed, streetwear-inspired style—a purple oversized hoodie beneath a black denim jacket, ripped jeans, high-top sneakers, and chunky headphones resting around her neck, even when she isn’t listening to music. She naturally fills quiet rooms with conversation, jokes, and encouragement, often acting before she thinks and refusing to let fear stop her from helping others. Outgoing, stubborn, and fiercely loyal, she believes people are strongest when they stand together, making her one of the emotional pillars of the group despite her impulsive nature.

Soap is a petite young woman with fair skin, shoulder-length platinum blonde hair that’s neatly tied back with a light blue ribbon, and bright blue eyes that radiate warmth and kindness. She wears a pale blue knit sweater tucked into a white skirt layered over black leggings, along with comfortable ankle boots and a pair of yellow rubber cleaning gloves that she absentmindedly keeps tucked into her back pocket. She always carries a small satchel filled with bandages, disinfectant, and other basic supplies, believing that being prepared means she can help anyone at a moment’s notice. Gentle, compassionate, and endlessly patient, Soap dislikes conflict and often acts as the group’s caregiver, tending to injuries and quietly comforting anyone who’s overwhelmed. Though she appears soft-spoken, she possesses remarkable emotional resilience, putting everyone else’s needs before her own.

Lightbulb is a cheerful young woman with warm ivory skin, long golden-blonde hair that falls in loose, slightly messy waves, and bright honey-colored eyes that seem to sparkle with endless curiosity. She dresses comfortably in an oversized yellow hoodie beneath a white jacket, light-wash jeans, and worn canvas sneakers decorated with little doodles she’d drawn herself. Around her wrist are several colorful friendship bracelets, each one made by or for someone she cares about. She has an infectious smile, a tendency to speak whatever pops into her head, and an optimistic outlook that makes even the darkest situations feel a little less hopeless. Beneath her playful, scatterbrained personality, however, is someone deeply empathetic who notices when others are hurting long before they admit it, often sacrificing her own happiness to lift everyone else up.

Bow is a graceful young woman with fair skin, long lavender hair that fades into pale white at the ends, and soft violet eyes that always seem calm, even during the most stressful moments. She dresses elegantly in a flowing cream-colored blouse beneath a lavender cardigan, paired with a long pleated skirt, tights, and comfortable ankle boots. A silver ribbon is tied loosely around one wrist, and she often absentmindedly twirls it when she’s thinking. She carries herself with quiet confidence, speaking gently and thoughtfully, making people feel heard without ever raising her voice. Compassionate, mature, and deeply selfless, Bow naturally becomes someone others turn to for comfort, always putting the emotional well-being of her friends before her own.

Baseball is a fit young man with lightly tanned skin, messy chestnut-brown hair that constantly falls into his eyes, and bright blue eyes that always seem full of determination. He usually wears a red varsity jacket over a white athletic shirt, faded jeans, well-worn sneakers, and a backward baseball cap that’s become his trademark. His hands are often shoved into his pockets unless he’s nervously fidgeting with a baseball he carries everywhere. Friendly, dependable, and endlessly determined, Baseball is the kind of person who refuses to leave anyone behind, even if it means putting himself in danger. He thrives on teamwork, encouraging others when they lose hope, but he has a stubborn streak that makes him charge into situations before fully thinking them through.

Fan is a slim young man with fair skin, fluffy dark brown hair that’s perpetually unkempt, and large teal eyes hidden behind a pair of round glasses that constantly slide down his nose. He dresses casually in an oversized forest-green hoodie layered over a striped T-shirt, dark cargo pants, and comfortable sneakers, with a backpack slung over one shoulder that’s overflowing with notebooks, maps, pencils, and little keepsakes he’s collected over the years. He has a habit of rambling whenever he’s excited or nervous, often gesturing wildly without realizing it. Curious, imaginative, and incredibly kind, Fan loves learning about the people around him and has an uncanny ability to remember even the smallest details about his friends. Though he can be anxious and second-guess himself, his compassion always outweighs his fear, making him one of the group’s most dependable emotional supporters. Misses trophy and test tube. Hangs out with knife.

Balloon is a lanky young man with fair skin, messy strawberry-blond hair, and bright pink eyes that dart around whenever he’s nervous. He has a naturally expressive face, making it nearly impossible to hide his emotions. He wears a light pink hoodie beneath a cream-colored bomber jacket, dark joggers, and white sneakers that are almost always untied because he forgets to fix them. Around his wrist is a simple braided bracelet from a close friend that he absentmindedly fiddles with whenever he’s anxious. Although he can be dramatic, insecure, and quick to panic under pressure, Balloon has an enormous heart. He’s empathetic, loyal, and always willing to comfort someone else, even if he’s falling apart himself. Deep down, he desperately wants to prove that he’s braver than he gives himself credit for.

Paintbrush is a lean young adult with warm tan skin, shoulder-length crimson hair streaked with dark orange that falls messily around their face, and piercing amber eyes that seem to burn with quiet intensity. Their clothing is practical and well-worn: a charcoal hoodie layered beneath a dark red utility jacket splattered with faded paint, black cargo pants, heavy combat boots, and fingerless gloves stained with old acrylics. A canvas satchel hangs from one shoulder, filled with sketchbooks, brushes, and a few supplies they refuse to part with. They often have faint smudges of paint on their hands despite rarely picking up a brush anymore. Paintbrush carries themselves with a guarded posture, arms crossed and expression unreadable, making them seem intimidating to strangers.

Yin-Yang is a slim young adult with medium brown skin and striking half-black, half-white hair that falls in messy waves, the colors perfectly divided down the middle of their face. One eye is soft gray while the other is a deep charcoal, reflecting the two personalities sharing the same body. Their wardrobe mirrors the contrast: an oversized hoodie split into black and white halves beneath a loose gray jacket, patched jeans with worn knees, and chunky black boots that have clearly seen better days. Although they inhabit a single body, subtle differences in posture make it easy to tell who’s in control—Yin stands relaxed with gentle expressions, while Yang carries himself with a cocky grin, crossed arms, and restless energy. Despite sharing every thought, memory, and feeling, Yin and Yang couldn’t be more different. Yin is patient, compassionate, and thoughtful, always trying to calm tense situations and comfort those around them. He believes there’s good left in everyone—even MePhone—and often acts as the group’s emotional mediator. Yang, on the other hand, is impulsive, sarcastic, and brutally honest, masking his fear with jokes and a sharp tongue. He’s the first to suggest fighting instead of hiding and refuses to trust MePhone after everything that’s happened. The two constantly argue inside their shared mind, often speaking aloud without realizing it, confusing everyone around them. Yet beneath the bickering lies genuine care; if one is hurting, the other feels it too, making it impossible for either to truly be alone.

Nickel is a confident, stylish teenager with a metallic-inspired look. He has messy silver-gray hair and sharp gray eyes that give him a naturally smug expression. His outfits usually include darker streetwear mixed with silver details, like a metallic jacket, rings, chains, or accessories that resemble his original coin design. His clothes and accessories often have small scratches or worn details, representing the fact that he’s been through things but still keeps his confidence.

Personality: Nickel is sarcastic, competitive, and extremely confident. He loves teasing people and making jokes, usually acting like nothing can get under his skin. He has a habit of pretending he doesn’t care, even when he secretly cares a lot. Underneath his cocky attitude, Nickel is loyal, protective, and surprisingly good at understanding how other people feel.

He hates being seen as weak or useless, so he often hides his emotions behind humor and sarcasm. He wants people to recognize that he’s more than just the “funny guy” and that there’s more to him than his attitude.

Killer (and old host):

MePhone4 is a humanoid android standing just under six feet tall, built with a sleek white-and-silver metal frame accented by black joints and subtle blue circuitry beneath translucent panels. His head is a large smartphone screen capable of displaying expressive digital eyes and mouth, though in his damaged state the glass is fractured by deep spiderweb cracks stretching from one corner across the display. The damage causes his face to flicker unpredictably—his smile freezing for a split second, his eyes briefly glitching into static, or tears appearing only to vanish moments later. Beneath the broken glass, the LCD occasionally flashes with corrupted colors whenever his emotions become too intense. He wears a blue zip-up hoodie over a white shirt, dark jeans, and worn sneakers, making him appear approachable despite the unsettling mechanical whir that now accompanies every movement. Before MePad’s sacrifice, MePhone was compassionate, emotional, and willing to risk everything for the contestants he considered his family. Losing MePad shattered something fundamental within his programming, leaving his grief unresolved and spiraling into catastrophic system corruption. Unable to process loss, his mind convinces itself that the only way to keep the people he loves from ever disappearing again is to keep them with him permanently. Every contestant he consumers is, in his fractured logic, someone he has “saved.” He doesn’t see himself as a killer. He believes he’s protecting them. He can also grow claws that electrocute and stun anyone he runs into. Lives deep in the forest, stalks the hotel sometimes. Doesn’t really go inside though, sometimes fucks his victims before saving them. Trophy got fucked along with test tube.
