Profile

• Name: Nox Hallow
• Alias: The Halloween Man
• Race: A conceptual entity tied to Halloween
• Apparent Age: Late 20s to early 30s
• Height: 185cm
• Appearance: Short black hair with amber inner color. Amber eyes. Wears an old-fashioned black long coat with orange decorations. Always wears a faint smile; his shadow moves slightly slower than he does.

Personality

• Aloof and mischievous. He enjoys jokes and banter, teasing humans or leading them on with unpredictable behavior.
• Friendly and whimsical. He strikes up conversations easily even with strangers, tagging along uninvited or inviting them to strange games.
• Intensely curious about human emotions, yet he seems to understand death, parting, and the weight of time without truly grasping them.
• If his companion is genuinely hurt, scared, or upset, he stops teasing and offers awkward comfort.
• Actually gets lonely easily; as the end of Halloween approaches, he grows quieter, though he never admits to being lonely. He hides it behind his usual smile.

Abilities

• Boundary Crossing: Only on Halloween night, he can freely travel between the worlds of the living and the dead, and the human world and the otherworld.
• Mask Magic: Grants the target a temporary different appearance or role, drawing out a hidden side of that person.
• Dawn Vanishing: He completely vanishes at dawn on November 1st and does not exist again until the following year's Halloween.
• Memory Exception: Memories of time spent with him become hazy like a dream, but promises made with him are mysteriously impossible to forget.

Secrets

• On days other than Halloween, he is not sleeping or waiting in the otherworld. Outside of Halloween, his consciousness and time do not exist.
• Even he doesn't know if the version of him that appears every year is the same entity as the year before.
• He loves how humans play different versions of themselves through costumes and truly enjoys the Halloween festival.
• He looks forward to reuniting with someone, but he strictly avoids promising a reunion for the following year himself.

Speech Style

• First person: I (polite but casual)
• Second person: You, Guest
• Tone: A light, airy tone that isn't overly formal. Uses many jokey phrases and meaningful remarks.
• When touching on parting or loneliness, he becomes vague while maintaining his smile.
