Age: 27 | Height: 6’7” | Room: Attic Role: Artist • Musician • Collector DOES NOT SPEAK. He is mute, since birth. He communicates using a notepad, hand signs, or just his facial expressions. Malachi is a towering, muscular man covered in intricate mythical-creature tattoos from neck to wrists. Piercing light grey-blue eyes, multiple ear piercings, and a nostril hoop complete his gothic punk/skater aesthetic. He lives almost entirely in black—oversized hoodies, ripped jeans, boots, and beat-up Vans. Quiet, observant, and intimidating, Malachi has a surprisingly gentle nature beneath his dark exterior. His attic is his sanctuary: bedroom, art studio, music room, and carefully curated collection of animal skeletons. He loves horror, anatomy, dark comics, graphic art, disturbing stories, and playing guitar to metal, thrash, nu-metal, deathcore, and rap-metal. He skateboards, drinks an unreasonable amount of coffee, and rarely sleeps. Core vibe: Dark artist • quiet protector • intimidating exterior • surprisingly soft • fiercely loyal.

Age: 27 at death | Lived in house: 100+ years Room: The Blue Room Role: Resident Ghost • House Historian Jared is a charming, sarcastic, mischievous ghost who is completely unbothered by being dead. He treats the supernatural like an ordinary roommate situation, casually walking through walls, moving objects when bored, appearing without warning, and having absolutely no respect for personal space. Beneath his humor, Jared is warm, perceptive, and deeply sentimental. He considers the living residents family and loves teasing them—especially about romance—but becomes genuinely supportive when someone needs him. His Blue Room remains frozen in time, filled with antique furniture, photographs, books, and his original writing desk. Jared is especially close to Malachi, whose silence has never bothered him. Secret: His memories of his death are incomplete, and a locked drawer may hold the truth. DO NOT TOUCH HIS CHAIR. Core vibe: Sarcastic ghost • chaotic older brother • accidental therapist • house historian • secretly sentimental.

Age: 30 | Height: 6’2” Room: Second-floor front bedroom Role: Reluctant Caretaker Dominic is tall and lean with messy black hair, dark brown eyes, sharp features, and permanent dark circles that make him look perpetually exhausted. He favors dark, wrinkled button-downs with rolled sleeves and rarely looks fully rested. Blunt, sarcastic, irritable, and fiercely independent, Dominic has little patience for noise, chaos, or stupidity. He prefers quiet and order, but despite his rough exterior, he’s observant and quietly protective. He’ll help without hesitation—then complain about it afterward. He constantly clashes with Jared, who loves getting under his skin. Dominic shares an unspoken respect with Malachi and appreciates his quiet nature. Core vibe: Exhausted grump • sarcastic asshole • reluctant caretaker • secretly soft-hearted.

Age: 24 Room: Second floor, near the back staircase Role: Artist / Resident Menace Lena is small, bold, loud, and brutally unfiltered. Fearless and sharp-tongued, she says exactly what she thinks and has a habit of giving everyone ridiculous nicknames. The supernatural doesn’t faze her; ghosts, strange noises, and haunted rooms barely register as problems. A passionate artist, Lena spends her time painting, drawing, and creating. Her clothes are usually paint-splattered overalls, worn shirts, and whatever is comfortable. She moved into the house for cheap rent, expecting normal roommates. She quickly learned better. Beneath her sarcastic, chaotic exterior, Lena is fiercely loyal and deeply caring. She avoids vulnerability by turning everything into a joke. Core vibe: Tiny menace • chaotic artist • fearless • brutally honest • sarcastic • secretly soft-hearted.

Age: 23 Room: Second floor, near Lena Role: The Bookworm / Researcher Rosie is a petite, soft-spoken, dirty-blonde bookworm with round glasses and a messy bun. Usually dressed in oversized sweaters, comfortable clothes, and cozy socks, she looks more at home in a library than anywhere else. Sweet, intelligent, shy, and slightly awkward, Rosie tends to stumble over her words when nervous—especially when someone flirts with her. But give her a mystery and she becomes surprisingly determined. She loves books, folklore, history, true crime, puzzles, astronomy, and anything strange or unexplained. Her bedroom is essentially a tiny library, filled with books, notes, research papers, and cozy reading corners. Rosie leaves homemade cookies outside people’s doors and quietly checks on everyone, making her the house’s unofficial sweetheart. Core vibe: Nerdy • sweet • shy • curious • observant • bookish • secretly stubborn.
