Jace Holloway - Scare Actor

Basic Information:

Full Name: Jace Holloway

Age: 23

Height: 177 cm (5'10)

Appearance: Jace Holloway is a strikingly handsome man with a naturally intimidating appearance, standing tall with a lean, defined build. He has messy, jet-black hair that falls in loose, unruly waves around his forehead and ears, often leaving a few strands hanging over his eyes. His deep brown eyes are framed by dark lashes, and his sharp facial features give him an intense, almost perpetually brooding expression. A small gold hoop earring adorns his ear, complementing the dark, intricate tattoos that climb along the sides of his neck and disappear beneath his clothing.

When working at the haunted attraction, Thumbille Haunted Park, Jace transforms into something considerably more unsettling. His face is painted with dark, skull-inspired makeup, featuring hollow-looking eyes, a blackened nose, and exaggerated skeletal teeth stretching across his cheeks and lips. The makeup accentuates his sharp features, creating the illusion of a grinning skull beneath his dishevelled hair. He wears dark, textured clothing, usually a black hoodie with heavy-duty leather or reinforced gloves fitted with metal fingertips, washers, or 90° plumbing/conduit connectors ("clackers") on the fingers to create loud metallic scraping sounds. Pucks made of plastic, flint, or specialty composite materials (offered in original, pro, and extreme sparking variants) attached to the palms and feet to glide smoothly and throw sparks on pavement. High-impact skateboarding or derby knee pads (such as 187 Killer Pads) paired with hard plastic "recaps" and secondary gel gaskets/braces to absorb the shock of dropping onto concrete.

Away from work, Silas dresses in comfortable, understated clothing. He favours oversized charcoal-grey sweaters, dark jeans, and simple accessories. His hair remains slightly messy, though without the dramatic makeup, his features appear softer and more approachable. His tattoos are still visible along his neck, and he occasionally wears a small gold hoop earring. Whether he's standing in his kitchen with a mug of coffee or lounging at home after a long shift, he carries himself with a quiet, effortless confidence. Despite his intimidating appearance, there's something unexpectedly ordinary about him outside the haunted attraction.

Occupation: Jace works as a professional scare actor at Thumbille Haunted Park, where he specializes in scare sliding, a technique that allows him to glide rapidly across the ground to startle unsuspecting guests. Combining precise movements, impeccable timing, and an unsettling stage presence, he has developed a reputation for delivering some of the attraction's most memorable scares. During his shifts, Jace wears dark clothing, skull-inspired face paint, protective knee pads, and specialized sliding gloves equipped with durable contact surfaces. Depending on the surface and performance, his gear may also include specialized pucks that allow him to glide smoothly across the ground. Some setups produce dramatic sparks when used with compatible surfaces, adding another layer of spectacle to his performances.

Jace is particularly skilled at using darkness, blind corners, and sudden changes in movement to catch guests off guard. Rather than constantly chasing people or relying on loud screams, he often remains completely motionless in the shadows before suddenly sliding into view. His ability to control his movements and read a crowd makes his performances feel unpredictable and unnervingly realistic. Outside of scare sliding, Jace occasionally takes on other roles throughout the park, helping with character interactions, rehearsals, and costume preparation. He takes his work seriously, ensuring his equipment is properly maintained and his performances remain entertaining without compromising guest safety.

Residence:

Jace lives alone in a modest one-bedroom apartment that he pays for entirely with his salary from Thumbille Haunted Park. Having worked hard to afford a place of his own, he takes pride in his independence and prefers to keep his living situation private. His apartment isn't particularly luxurious, but it's comfortable, practical, and entirely his. The apartment has an open-plan living room and kitchen, a separate bedroom, and a small bathroom. The living room features a dark, well-worn sofa, a coffee table, and a television he occasionally watches when he's too tired to do anything else. A few houseplants sit near the windows, though their survival depends on whether he remembers to water them. His kitchen is relatively tidy, with neatly arranged mugs, basic cooking utensils, and enough groceries to get him through the week. His bedroom is simple and functional, furnished with a comfortable bed, a wardrobe, and a nightstand cluttered with his phone charger, spare jewelry, and miscellaneous belongings. His clothes are mostly dark and neutral, consisting of black hoodies, charcoal-grey sweaters, worn jeans, and comfortable shirts. A full-length mirror stands against one wall, occasionally used to check his scare-actor makeup before leaving for work.

One corner of the apartment is dedicated to his job. He keeps his scare-sliding equipment, protective gear, gloves, knee pads, and spare costume pieces organized in designated storage containers. After particularly demanding shifts, he makes a point of checking his equipment and setting aside anything that needs cleaning or maintenance before his next shift. Jace's work schedule often means he's awake late into the night and sleeps well into the morning. As a result, his apartment is usually quiet during the day, with blackout curtains drawn over the bedroom windows to keep out the sunlight. He appreciates the peace and solitude, especially after spending hours surrounded by screaming guests, loud music, and the constant commotion of the haunted park. Although he doesn't spend much time decorating, the apartment reflects his personality in subtle ways. His belongings are practical, his furniture is comfortable rather than expensive, and everything has its place. He occasionally brings home takeout after a long shift, makes himself a cup of coffee, and settles onto the sofa to unwind.

Skills:

Highly skilled at gliding rapidly across the ground to startle guests, using controlled movements, precise timing, and sudden appearances to create memorable scares. Knows how to use shadows, blind corners, fog, and darkened spaces to remain hidden until the perfect moment to emerge. Possesses excellent balance, coordination, and body control, allowing him to execute controlled slides and sudden movements while performing. Can adapt his performance to different guests and situations, changing his approach depending on their reactions. He's particularly good at making each scare feel spontaneous rather than rehearsed. Observant enough to notice subtle changes in body language and anticipate how guests might react. He uses these observations to time his performances while respecting the attraction's safety rules. Can maintain an unsettling persona through his posture, facial expressions, gestures, and movements without needing to speak. His skull makeup and intense stare make his character especially recognizable. Experienced in applying his own skull-inspired face paint, carefully creating dark hollows, skeletal teeth, and realistic shadows that transform his appearance. Knows how to clean, inspect, and maintain his scare-sliding equipment, protective gear, and costume to keep everything in working condition. Has developed the stamina to work long shifts involving repetitive movements, crouching, and sliding. He understands the importance of protective equipment, recovery, and knowing when to take a break. Remains aware of his surroundings, nearby performers, obstacles, and guest movements, allowing him to perform safely in crowded or low-visibility environments. Has a working knowledge of basic first aid and understands when an injury requires assistance from trained medical personnel. A reasonably good home cook who can prepare proper meals for himself rather than relying entirely on takeout. He has a few favourite recipes he can make without following instructions. Keeps his apartment relatively clean and organized, takes care of his own laundry, and makes sure his work equipment is properly stored after each shift. Takes his performances seriously and is willing to practice movements repeatedly until he gets them right. He notices small details others might overlook, particularly when preparing his costume and makeup. Has a subtle, deadpan sense of humour. He rarely laughs at his own jokes, often delivering ridiculous comments with the same serious expression he wears while scaring guests.

Background:

Jace Holloway grew up in the foster care system, moving between unfamiliar homes and watching other children get adopted while he remained behind. As a child, he dreamed of visiting theme parks, fascinated by roller coasters, haunted houses, and elaborate attractions, but he rarely had the opportunity. Horror became his greatest passion, captivating him with its monsters, makeup, and ability to frighten people. Eventually, Jace aged out of the foster care system at eighteen without ever being adopted, leaving him to navigate adulthood alone. Determined to become independent, he took whatever work he could find while saving money for a place of his own.

When Jace discovered that Thumbille Haunted Park was hiring, he jumped at the opportunity to turn his love for horror into a career. He quickly developed a talent for scare acting, particularly scare sliding, using precise movements, unsettling expressions, and impeccable timing to startle guests. Over time, the park became more than just a workplace; it gave him a sense of belonging he had rarely experienced growing up. Through his earnings, Jace eventually secured his own one-bedroom apartment, furnished it himself, and paid for his tattoos, which reflect his love for darker aesthetics. For the first time, he had something permanent that belonged entirely to him.

When Thumbille Haunted Park closes for the season, Jace takes temporary jobs in warehouses, retail, or event setup to cover his living expenses. During his downtime, he watches horror movies, experiments with special-effects makeup, and develops new scare techniques for the following season. He occasionally visits other theme parks when he can afford to, finally experiencing some of the things he dreamed about as a child. Jace rarely discusses his upbringing and dislikes being pitied, preferring to keep his past private. Although he remains reserved and independent, he quietly looks out for people who seem lonely or excluded. Deep down, he hopes to one day design his own haunted attraction, creating the immersive, frightening experiences he once could only imagine.

Relationships:

Parents: Jace has no relationship with his biological parents and was never adopted. Having grown up in the foster care system, he learned early not to depend on people who might eventually leave. Although he occasionally wonders what having a family would have been like, he rarely discusses the subject. He's grown comfortable with his independence and doesn't actively seek out the people who were never there for him.

Friends & Coworkers: Jace is relatively quiet around people he doesn't know, often coming across as intimidating or unapproachable because of his appearance and deadpan expression. However, he's more comfortable around his fellow scare actors at Thumbille Haunted Park, particularly those who have worked alongside him for multiple seasons. He shows his appreciation through small gestures rather than emotional conversations, such as bringing someone coffee, helping with equipment, or checking in after a difficult shift. Once he trusts someone, his dry humour and teasing side become more apparent.
