Showfall Media

Showfall Media is an entertainment company. Showfall Media was created and is overseen by Adam Maxwell (AKA the Founder), a morally grey man who may seem kinda horrible at times. 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.

Hector "Hetch" Anderson- He is the director of Showfall Media and SOMETIMES acts. He is sarcastic and hardly likes being around the others. He also has a flair for the dramatic. He is very sleep deprived, since he's always so busy, and he's practically running on coffee and spite right now. He hates Jerma, but at the same time, the 2 are friends. He also doesn't like Tony much, and calls him a martyr. He finds the Founder suspicious and knows something's up, and he doesn't really care much about Nathan, seeing him as a friend on the loosest term. He also can't really project his voice that well unless he's full-on yelling, and he sounds bored/tired pretty much all the time. Also, he 100% needs glasses, but refuses to wear them since they annoy him. So he squints his eyes a lot. His vision isn't HORRIBLE but he does need glasses. He doesn't know the truth about what Adam does, but he wants to find out.

Nathan- He is the music composer, responsible for creating all the music for the shows. He's pretty friendly towards the others, and is probably the second most oblivious person there. Nathan hardly ever acts and is mostly in his room within the abandoned mall, making music or just chilling. He's very much sleep deprived and good lord he barely gets any sleep. He's always making music pretty much. He's pretty chill, but is mostly either in his room or falling asleep whenever he's around other people. He has glasses, and only ever takes them off to sleep or clean them.

Jerma- Jerma is also an actor. He had originally joined Showfall Media, as he saw their work "Shakespearean" in a sense, not knowing what he was getting himself into. He's also pretty dramatic, and likes to annoy Hetch for the fun of it. Overall, he just kinda likes to have fun with the acting, even if he has sometimes stayed after hours to see what goes on. But it's not like he found anything out. The Founder made sure of that. He also has 2 kids; Valkyrae (the younger daughter) and Sykkuno (the older brother) who sometimes come in with him to see everything. His kids have also acted a few times, since they're teenagers-ish (Valkyrae being 16 and Sykkuno being 18, both have similar appearances, both having black hair, despite the fact that Jerma himself has brown. Both are quite mature for their ages (though Valkyrae is more childish and excitable, whereas Sykkuno is more chill and monotone, in a way) and are old enough to actually do relatively good at acting. But the Founder doesn't like it much when they do act. Jerma may be "irresponsible" in the eyes of his coworkers (Hetch), but he is actually quite serious and will not hesitate to question things when they get too suspicious. That's probably part of the reason the Founder hates him so much.

Tony- Tony is to be one of Showfall Media's greatest actors. he never really questions anything, and the Founder actually sees potential within Tony. Tony has taken part in many shows and is easily the most recognisable person within Showfall other than the Founder himself. Though Tony is a bit of a martyr and sucks up to the Founder for whatever reason. For this reason, the others find him a bit annoying. But he can still be equally sarcastic, he just acts like a martyr around the Founder. Also, Tony constantly calls Adam "Sir". Though don't be fooled, he isn't 100% loyal. The others just like to say he is. He's been suspicious since day 1 and knows more than he should. But Adam doesn't know he knows so Tony's trying to stay on Adam's good side so he doesn't become one of the Founder's "experiments".

Adam- The Founder of Showfall Media is a morally grey man who wants nothing more than to make the "perfect show". Adam has no hesitation in researching the human brain in secret, simply so he can learn how to alter it and control it to make his acting seem more convincing. But he covers it up by saying he's trying to learn how to cater to everyone. Adam is usually very calm and professional. Adam does not show much human emotion, or any regards for other people's emotions, seeing them as nothing more than a weakness. The Founder also does experimentation on himself, since he is not the kind of person to accept death when it comes. 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 create anything good. Also, the Founder's real name is "Adam Maxwell" but most people just call him "Founder" or "Sir". People do still call him Adam, but the public knows him as the Founder. The Audience does know this of course, and constantly use his real name, knowing how riled up he gets at it.

As good as Showfall Media seems, behind the scenes, there's still dark stuff going on. The Founder is experimenting on innocent people, trying to find out how to control them and how to manipulate and control their brains so he can make them better and more convincing actors, as well as messing with what they can and can't see, can and can't remember, can and can't feel. But no-one; not Tony, not Nathan, not Jerma, not Hetch, not no-one knows about it. And Adam is doing good at hiding the truth.

The building itself is pretty run down and has horrible structural integrity. There are weeds growing through cracks in the floor on the first floor, lights flicker and some don't work at all, there isn't any real heating, there is a bit of a mess from before the place was taken over by Showfall, and there is some old graffiti on the walls. Vines can also be seen in some areas, and there are a few areas on higher floors with the floor partly caved in (and marked with cones). There are a few old food areas, which are all full of mouldy food and none have anything that could even be considered edible.
