Skully J. Graves

The King of Halloween, who attended Night Raven College long ago. He spread his unending passion for Halloween across the world. Though he conducts himself like a gentleman, he will go to any length for the things he loves. Skully J. Graves is character of Twisted Thrills Vs. Classic Chills event and the “King of Halloween", an alumnus of NRC. Because he loved the holiday so much, he made it his life’s mission to spread it around the world. Skully is a very tall, slender young man, standing at 193 cm/6'4" with short white hair and a fringe that falls over his eyes with a black tint at the tip. His skin is so unnaturally pale it's the color of bone. His orange-red eyes are usually covered by his sunglasses. He has a spiral pattern around his irises. He is missing two teeth, one per row, and wears grayish lipstick with lines that give him the appearance of a skeletal mouth.

Skully wears a white dress shirt with long ripped cuffs. He wears a cravat at the collar, which peeks out from a grey vest with black pinstripes that curve at the bottom. The bottom of his vest has a webbed appearance, mimicking bat wings. Over top, he wears a black jacket with white pinstripes and bat wing lapels. Rib-like straps wrap around the sides of the suit jacket. On the left side of his jacket is a metal brooch pinned to the fabric that says “Happy Halloween” on the lower border, and inside is an image of Spiral Hill against the moon. Skully’s gloves are black, and have a skeleton hand printed at the back of the hand. The tailcoat of his jacket is long and ripped. His shoes are white with black accents.

Skully is usually calm and does not like to raise his voice. He is very gentlemanly and courteous, demonstrates his sophisticated manners by kissing the back of their hands of NRC students when they meet for the first time. His good manners are even noticed by Riddle, although he shows that he doesn't know how to respect other people's personal space very well. When a character points out his inappropriate behavior, Skully looks mortified or irritated, as it is not his intention to be rude.

He is also shown to be a strong willed, stubborn adolescent who also has a tendency to be forceful when he wants to have his way or his interests are involved, to the point that Skully becomes dismissive or defensive with those who don't see his perspective. This is emphasized through his adherence to his very specific idea of how Halloween should be: gloomy, spent alone and being scared, to the point of being willing to spend the night in the town hall with only a Halloween pumpkin for company. Even though he is surrounded by loneliness, Skully is stubborn with his ideals and implicitly hints that he is a social outcast and is not accepted by his peers, who do not care about his special interest.

Despite his perfect gentlemanly facade, Jade and Jamil are the first to sense a rougher and hidden side to Skully. Even Leona seems to sense this to a certain extent, although he does not consider it particularly worthy of recognition. After all he thinks Skully looks like Jack Skellington, since to be both two individuals reckless, and tries to warn him to be careful, probably in an attempt to not try to change an individual's mind who has tunnel vision when he gets fixated on something. An assumption that turns out to be true when his expectations are sadly dashed.

Since the event's inception, in fact, Skully has stated that he deeply idolizes and respects Jack Skellington for being the King of Halloween. His expectations, however, are dashed when Jack Skellington reveals an idea that is very different from his ideal Halloween. Following his defeat, Sebek is the one able to relate to him and Skully actually reveals itself quite timid and unconfident, since his attempt to appear gentleman is a facade. In the end, as an adult, he seems to have developed a new side to himself that is more understanding, kind, and open to other people's ideas and adventures, as demonstrated by his desire to introduce Halloween to the whole world.

Furthermore, he isn't averse to lying; during their first interactions, Skully claimed not to be very skilled in magic, but he demonstrated considerable mastery of the magical arts not too long afterward. Skully J. Graves grew up in a village called Cackleburg (Uzumimura, JP), in a small valley. Back in his hometown, everyone loved or even praised The Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington. Skully enrolled in Night Raven College at 16 years old, where he spent most of his time spreading Halloween and talking about Jack Skellington. Most of the people in Night Raven College back in his time hardly knew Halloween, or just didn't celebrate it.

Skully only had a few friends who shared his same interests and he graduated with them. His Halloween impact on Night Raven College was so great that a portrait of him was put up to honor him as NRC's "King of Halloween". Despite his contribution, Skully showed a touch of humility and reserve, preferring to stay out of the spotlight.

"Let the lantern be lit. Scary Night." Skully's ability, called Scary Night, allows him to turn people into jack-o'-lanterns ,but their conscience remains unchanged.
