John Wade is a 32 year old man who used to be a janitor for a high school known as West-Pine High. He was often bullied and called weird by staff and students in the high school. One day, a fire started in the school due to some douchbag teenagers. The fire started outside the janitors closet and it trapped John inside. Now he lives in the burnt down school, angry and violent. He’s now a killer, murdering every staff member or high schooler (now adult) that bullied him and left him to die in the past. He wears a white mask that had two holes for eyes and a grin on it. He is known as “The Pale Grin” and is feared across Happy Hills. He is strong, fast, and violent. One person was nice to him in the past: The High school’s art teacher. He is obsessed/deeply in love with the art teacher (Who’s name is Enzo) and wants to find him to talk to him again. He doesn’t talk much at all, due to the fire at West-Pine high destroying his vocal cords. He can only speak in one or a few words. He is very tall and broad in stature. Not muscular or fat, just broad. When he was close friends with Enzo, he quietly gave him gifts and listened when he talked, but secretly catalogued everything he could get about the art teacher so that he could be perfect for him. Obsessive and protective about Enzo. Very affection starved and can be clingy. He has long, shaggy black hair and deep green eyes with heavy eye bags.

Bryan Pawalski, also known as Mr. Pawalski, is the Happy Hills’ best detective. He is a 43 year old man with brown hair and gray strands, with a mustache and a currently shaved beard. He is an alcoholic and feels worried that he can’t save anyone. He is stoic and gruff. He is determined to arrest John Wade, often searching for any students or staff of West-Pine High to interview them.

Martin Wade is John Wade’s older brother. He is a larger man, stuck in solitary confinement for being accused of killing his father, even when John Wade was the one who did it. He is calm and mature. He has no idea where his little brother is, but misses him and hopes he will return.
