The Slender Man Mythos/Characters


Villains

The Slender Man

The creature who started it all in the Mythos. An inhumanly tall and skinny figure apparently dressed in a black suit, whose face is either completely blank or appears different to anybody who sees it, depending on who you ask. His goals, and sometimes his methods, are shrouded in mystery, but he tends to leave a wake of madness, destruction, and death behind him.

Tropes

Here. Now.

Redlight

A mysterious figure who originated on White Elephants. He captured, tortured, and wiped Robert's memory clean of any knowledge about Slender Man. Then took over White Elephants to try to break the slendercommunity by taunting them with Robert's defeat, then flaunted how powerful his master is and that the bloggers need to learn their place.

Tropes

  • Bad Boss: Slender Man to him. Redlight once even stated that when people stand up to slim, he takes it out on his agents and proxies.
  • Bad Liar: No one really believed him when he said he could give anyone who wanted out of the Chase of Fight an easy way but considering what happened to Robert just about confirms what most already thought of him and promises.
  • Despair Event Horizon: Tried to enforce this on the bloggers to knuckle them "into their place". It doesn't generally work.
  • Dragon with an Agenda
  • Jerkass: No matter the interpretation, there is no denying this trope. He's a rude, nasty, superior, mocking, arrogant, dog kicking fellow who loves to pour salt in open wounds. He's done just about everything he can to make the slendercommunity wish a horrible Karmic Death on him.
  • Karma Houdini: Can be seen as this, since it is unlikely he will ever be made to answer for any of his actions.
    • Until Robert stabbed a stake from the Bleeding Tree in him. It goes downhill for Redlight from there.
  • Kick the Dog: Robert being the dog.
  • Kick Them While They Are Down: Just about each and every word ever typed by him. Nessa, too. Just Nessa.
  • Hannibal Lecture: Every blog entry by him, ever.
  • Laser-Guided Amnesia: Is able to give people this concerning knowledge of ever being chased by Slender Man. His method is unknown.
    • Only it turns out that people he "releases" from the Chase can become reintroduced to Slender Man all over again, as demonstrated by the latest entries of White Elephants, which means we may yet see a return of both Robert and Nessa. So yeah, that "easy way out" Redlight offered up doesn't even work that well.
    • Considering who he might be, there's a precedent for being reintroduced.
  • Retirony: The day after he swore on AmalgamationSage's blog that he would never be found again due to a drop in possessable proxies, he was shot in the back by Cathy.
  • Sadistic Choice: LOVES these.
  • Superior Species: Seems to consider Slender Man to be this and thinks humans who try to rise against him are overstepping their bounds.
  • Xanatos Speed Chess: Oh Lord, has he been revealed to be a master of this...

The first Rika

A primary villain of A Hint of Serendipity.

  • Ax Crazy: Just about everything ever uttered by her is a promise of a horrible demise. She's also brutally attacked several slenderbloggers.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She's good at pretending to be nice and pleasant to get up close to people, but as Zero finds out the hard upon meeting her that it's just an act.
  • The Determinator: The evil variety, but yes. Heaven knows she needs to be.
  • The Dragon: To Slender Man.
  • Foe Yay: Invoked by Zero in one entry.
  • Hannibal Lecture: Attempted on more than one occasion in various Comment's Sections, but the fact that she's nowhere near intelligent enough to make an effective one is made abundantly clear leading to hilarious levels of Epic Fail.
  • Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Not so much on the sympathetic part, but she is definitely a second rate villain among the agents and proxies of the slendercommunity. Hell, one could argue she only exists to make one appreciate Redlight more.
  • Most Common Superpower
  • Psycho Supporter: Of Slender Man.
  • Troll: When not actively trying to kill Runners or people who have taken more offensive stances against Slender man, she's this on the Comments Sections of the slendercommunity.
  • Shut UP, Hannibal: Zero in one entry tells he to shut it before she even has a chance to post.
  • Spotlight-Stealing Squad: She only shows up a few times in the actual blog.

The second Rika

One of the villains of The Last Refuge of a Dangerous Man.

Cynthia

Author of the eleventh hour. She's the daughter of Cathy, the protagonist of Time to Talk and under the Slender Man's control. She's a devout believer in his cause and sees him as her daddy.

Though nowadays it seems she's fighting back, and winning.

Tropes

The Messenger/Justice

Acts as a messenger within the mythos, announcing deaths and ending blogs. Ends up becoming an Oracle for the Slender Man. From Don't Shoot The Messenger.


Al(x)ne/Allen Smith

The main human antagonist of Drew's Box 'o' Stuff.

Albert Conaghan

A former businessman and the primary human antagonist during Seeking Truth's run. He ultimately perished the night of the Warehouse Fire, though the exact circumstances remain unknown.

Tropes

  • Evil Genius: One of the first proxies to show some degree of intelligence. He has shown that he is able to plan out elaborate traps to deliver the detectives into Slender Man's grasp.
  • Villain with Good Publicity: Unique in that he is a Complete Monster but in that his business dealings ultimately provide relief to a good portion of the world. Zeke himself states that to the rest of the world, he is a complete saint.
  • Villainous Breakdown: Conaghan remains calm, cool and collected, even when he is getting the ever-merciful crap beaten out of him by Zeke, until it is implied that he went psycho and repeatedly stabbed Lizzie to death.

Morningstar

Author of The Morning Hunter Characterized by a startling shift between horror, placidity, and Looney Tunes style violence.

Tropes

Nee-chan

An upbeat lover of all things Japanese who seems to have a tenuous-at-best grasp on reality. Her real name is Erika Lyons, though she insists on "Nee-chan" or at least "Eri." A prominent character in Don't Shoot The Messenger.

Wren Stephanos

A former SWAT demolitions expert, he was a former partner of Zeke Strahm's and ultimately the secondary antagonist of The Mystic blog.

  • Complete Monster: He went completely insane and destroyed a building, killing everyone inside, good and bad, with no remorse.
  • You're Insane!: Although he mainly stays calm and collected, there are times where he shows how crazy he really is like breaking an agent's toes and lighting a proxy on fire with an air sol can and a lighter.
  • Old Friend: Wren knew Zeke back when he had just joined the police force. It's revealed later that Wren taught Zeke everything he knows about hand-to-hand and interrogation.

Tropes

Elaine Logan

Author of Take The Myth. Researcher of the Slender Man with a Dark and Troubled Past. Has a lot of Cross Overs

Tropes


M

Author of The Tutorial, veteran Runner and progenator of the Three Rules.

Tropes

Dr. Cairo

Proprietor of the "compileTRUTH" Youtube channel and blog. Has spent most of his time "compiling" other blogs and vlogs, creating summaries of important events in other stories. Despite the alias, it's well known that he's merely a college student.

Tropes

  • Arc Words: "truth seekers" and "TRUTH". In a few instances it's even been unnecessarily capitalized like that.
  • Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: One of his blogposts lists a number of things happening, including characters dieing, being chased by The Slender Man being apparently possessed and Cairo finding himself at a Poetry Slam with no memory of going there.
  • Continuity Lock Out: Seems to be trying to avert this on the entire mythos. Despite his efforts, his progress is not promising.
  • Crossover: A number of them:
  • The Dragon: At one point, fearfulXbenefactor accused Cairo of being one for The Slender Man, tasked with flooding Youtube with videos to infect more people with the knowledge he exists. No proof has yet surfaced with this claim.
  • Dressed to Heal: As part of his doctor routine, he is often seen wearing a lab coat in his videos.
  • Genre Savvy: Considering how much "research" he's done on the other cases, it would be out of place for him not to be. He even suspects spyware on the disc Benefactor left for him after pointing out the same thing happening to Noah before, and attempts to have an computer expert trace it.
  • Hidden Villain: Benefactor claimed Cairo had been a willing agent of The Slender Man from the start and attempted to turn his followers against him. The jury is out on whether it worked. Even more so on if it's true or not.
  • Massive Multiplayer Crossover: Was present in the Angora Chat for the March 21st crossover-chat. He's also shown up in-character on the everymanHYBRID Ustream.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Only when you combine it with some major Fridge Logic. After both Josh and Alana died in "Angel's Game", Cairo discusses the case and mentions that he contacted both Josh and Austin back in January. He got a disturbing message back from Austin that hinted at his instability and possible possession. And he forgot to tell Josh or Alana before Austin went Ax Crazy on them. Whoops.
  • One of Us: One of the many mythos characters to reference/link to TV tropes.
  • Shout-Out: A great many, with varying degrees of subtlety.
  • Take That: Towards MyDarkJournal after being "chosen" for his game. He mocks the editing effects from the video and throws in a reference to BEN.
  • Trust Me, I'm an X: The "Dr." part of his name seems to cause some viewers to give him undue credibility as an expert on the rest of the mythos.
    • Also spoken verbatim in a tweet with Noah encouraging him to look at the thanksgiving footage. Bonus points for it being completely untrue.

Spencer Fitzgerald

Leader of the Return To Slender team. Lives in an Eldritch Location with a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits.

Tropes

A young musician who wrote songs for the Slenderbloggers and posted them to her blog, Breeze in Monochrome NIGHT.

Tropes

Ava

Author of The London Librarian, considered by some to be the spiritual successor of Robert, and cares enough about any of the bloggers she becomes attatched to that she threatens to kill them should Slendy find them.

Tropes

AJ

Author of It's All David's Fault. A nice enough young babysitter and film enthusiast who gets embroiled in an Ancient Conspiracy.

Tropes

Tropes


Slice

A college student, like Jekyll above. He's generally polite, unless he's dealing with the Slender Man. Operates the blog Live in the Light.

  • Anti-Hero: 'Hell, yes.'
  • Badass: 'Full'. 'Stop.'
  • Heroic BSOD: Several times, with good reason.
  • Kill It with Fire: He believes Slender Man does not like fire and often uses it as his weapon of choice.
  • Knight Templar: He's working himself in that direction, he's in complete and utter agreement with Zero's new "kill everyone" policy.
  • Laser-Guided Amnesia
  • Left Hanging: He seems to have disappeared and left things in his brother's hands.
  • Light UpThe Night: You better believe it.
  • Love Makes You Crazy: His entire relationship with Gwen, pretty much.
  • Massive Multiplayer Crossover: Engaged in one which crossed over the blogs Drew's Box 'o' Stuff, Search and Reveal, Copper and Crome, The Land of Black Leaves, and Unchained during the events in Boston.
  • My Greatest Failure: He teamed up with another blogger called Ron, who was captured and proxified. Slice has twice tried to rescue him. Both the initial capture and the failure of the first rescue attempt had this effect on Slice.
  • Sanity Slippage

Anthony

A midwestern kid, who has shoes a bit too big to fill in when he goes looking for Slender Man. The writer for Believe What You See.

Ron Foster

Another Midwest guy. Runs the blog Drew's Box 'O' Stuff. A boistrous and smartalecy blogger who has been stalked for over a year now.

  • Aborted Arc: In the blog's early days, there was a plotline in which Ron showcased the notebook writings of a proxified friend and there was a lot of talk of a mysterious mountain man who once drove off Slender Man using a wooden Operator Sign covered in Robert's Substance.
    • Come Febuary when the blog became active again and that plotline has pretty been abandoned. Though given that Ron had more immediate things to worry at the time, it's kinda justified.
  • Big Brother Mentor: To Search and Reveal's Pete.
  • Breaking the Bonds: Subverted. See Damsel in Distress. He does not triumph heroically by breaking free of the Mark and leaving Boston. He was captured and followers of Slender Man removed it, themselves, after it was no longer needed.
  • Cluster F-Bomb: A few times, but he's nowhere near Noah's level.
  • Damsel in Distress: Meet Ron, the male damsel. He was "Marked" with a metaphysical item Slender man created called "The Brand", which kept him literally trapped in Boston. It thwarted his every attempt to leave town and he ended up getting captured via Heroic Sacrifice and ended up having to be rescued.
  • Dead Man Writing: This Entry
  • Deadpan Snarker: When he's not a Large Ham or a whiner.
  • Final Guy: See Kill'Em All. Along the same lines as M.
  • Fire-Forged Friends: With Slice.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Gave up his own freedom for another blogger named Clarice, now the current operator of Unchained, while trying to rescue her from a Pocket Dimension called "The Ruins" which Slender man created as a Hub in Charleston, Boston, Mass. He was proxified as the result.
  • Hunt the Most Dangerous Game: Ron's escapades in Boston were essentially this, with Ron as the prey! he even lampshaded this by making a fox his on-screen avatar.
  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Along the same lines as Shaun, he left his love interest behind for her own safety. He ended up getting a Dear John Email later after she apparently gave up on ever finding him.
  • It Got Worse: He started as a completely free man on the run with his friend, Drew, but ended up running alone. Then he disappeared and eventually just woke up one day trapped in Boston. Now he's been proxified. I'd say that counts.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: A Deadpan Snarker, a complainer, and often very blunt, but he often gives advise to new bloggers or points them over to M's The Tutorial. He also supported the idea of the bloggers getting more organized and trying to make information on how to survive being slenderstalked as available to newcomers as possible by advising everyone to make a post where they put down everythiing they know about Slender Man, themselves. He stated that they're in this as much for everyone else as for themselves. He did so and 'labeled' the post so it can be accessed from his front page no matter the passage of time.
    • He also named another an amnesiac user who previous only had a titled give to him by Slender Man, Prey the 2nd. The name given is Pete, who Ron went on to play Big Brother Mentor to.
  • Kill'Em All: Pretty much what Slender Man did all of Ron's friends back home.
  • Laser-Guided Amnesia: He has no memory of the two months separating when he first disappeared and his reappearance.
  • Mind Screw: At one point, he blacked out from 11:58 AM–1:39 PM, but during his lost time, he was hanging out with Slice from 10 AM-Noon. Um...
    • Before that even, he went to the Boston Public Library to find it completely empty, yet Slice, who showed up at roughly the same time, said it was full of people. Yeah, Slender Man just loves screwing with this guy's head...
  • My Greatest Failure: A few. He views the loss of all his friends as such. He was also the blogger Slice from Live in the Light teamed up with for a while. The two got separated and Slice underwent Laser-Guided Amnesia and did not come out of it until after Ron was proxified.
  • Nakama: One of the bloggers Zero befriended before the Solstice.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Plays Blue Oni to Slice and red Oni to Pete.
  • Sanity Slippage: Twice. Early, he underwent some effects of proxification before running double time and getting over it. Now he's been full on proxified and slowly recovering.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: On the morning after the Solstice event, he went to test to how whether it had any impact on Slender Man at all after posting his intentions. He just plain disappeared after that until Febuary 2011.
  • Written in Infirmity: At one point trying to leave Boston got Ron hospitalized thanks to The Mark and he blogged from his hospital bed for a while.

Pete

An amnesiac blogger who woke up in Pioneer Valley, Massachusetts. He was initially named Prey the 2nd (Ron being the other Prey). Has become something of a Spiritual Successor to Testing 123's Shaun in experimenting with ways to ward off or fool Slender Man. He runs Search and Reveal.

  • Badass: Shaping into this.
    • Also implied that he was also previously a badass back when he tangled with Slender Man when he still had his memories.
  • Big Brother Mentor: How he views Ron.
  • Big Damn Heroes: His triumphant return from Boston after rescuing Ron.
  • It Got Worse: Granted, at this point, we're mostly seeing him after It Got Worse from before, but it's heading downhill again.
  • Laser-Guided Amnesia: Remembers nothing of his life before waking in Pioneer Valley with Slender Man peering in the window of the room.
  • Mad Scientist: No less so than M, Shaun, Robert, and Jay.
    • His experiments have already wielded that Slender Man can be fooled be masked mannequins.
    • Can a combination of the Operator Sign and a Christian Ichthus Symbol work better as repellents than plain of Operator signs.
    • Slender Man will not be able to tell a masked human from a group of masked dummies.
  • Nakama: Has started to form this with Ron and Clarice, the woman they're currently staying with.
  • Nice Guy
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Very blue.
  • Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Another blogger who knows his previous identity has told him that this got him caught and mind-wiped to begin with.
  • What Is This Thing You Call Love?: Shows some signs of this as he does not fully understand all the strong emotions being stalked by Slender man is forcing him to feel all at once.

Inky

Author of Living a Jaded Life [dead link] , one of the only known Australian bloggers.

Tropes


Andrew

Author of Walking the Hallowed Halls. Takes care of the Slender Man's minions in exchange for his life. Is also searching for his twin brother, Ben. That is, until the threat of an impending "promotion" forces him to go on the run, bringing his brother with him.

Tropes

  • Anti-Villain: So much so that it's hard to figure out whether to put him as a hero or a villain. He works for Slender Man, but he hates him and only took the job to save his own life. It's hard not to sympathize with that.
  • Bad Boss: Works for the Slender Man
  • Deal with the Devil: Took the job so that the Slender Man would let him live.
  • Heel Face Turn: While technically never a full villain, he's no longer working for
  • Name's the Same: He shares a name with Andy of the informative "Slenderbloggins." What's more, he and Slice of "Live in the Light" both have a twin brother named Ben.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Directs on at all the bloggers killing proxies in this post.

Alex

Author of Deja Vu Dreamer and so he claims Dreams in Darkness. Is a complete skeptic (despite the hundreds of blogging victims warning him) up until The Reveal where his skepticism starts to slip...

Tropes

Jekyll

A college student who prefers not to get close to anyone else. He posts advice on how to survive, much like M. Writes Now I Shall Know You Again.

Tropes

  • The Atoner: Took it upon himself to post advice earlier, but decides that work harder at it to make things up to Robert, who he was about to throw under a bus.
  • Becoming the Mask: Recommends taking on a persona in the presence of the Slender Man to mentally steel yourself against him, even recommending using a literal mask to help enforce this trope.
  • BSOD Song: In 5:55.
  • Break the Haughty: Sure looks that way.
  • Genre Savvy: He claims to be.
  • Kick the Dog: He was the only one fully prepared to let Redlight kill Robert to put him out of his misery. Depending on his intentions, it could alternatively be....
  • Literary Allusion Name.
    • The blog's title itself also counts, as the title and tagline are revealed to be a line of dialog from the book as well.
  • Spiritual Successor: Self-proclaimed successor to M of The Tutorial. Even fits the title of "Hermit" that M was given, to an extent.

KK Collins / Blight

Originally another successor to Robert on White Elephants, now the author of her own blog, Upon the Stairs.

Tropes

  • Bi the Way: Met her husband Derek on the night she broke up with her last girlfriend.
  • Broken Bird
  • Dark and Troubled Past
  • Happily Married: Not that you'd expect it from her character.
  • Knight Templar: After waking up. Especially apparent after she bludgeoned Derek to death for his "betrayal", and declared she would kill every Proxy. Turns out he's not actually dead. Many other bloggers refer to her as "another Zero" now.
  • Axe Crazy: Kinda implied by her recent behavior.
  • Not So Stoic: Revealed when her sister was kidnapped.
  • Sanity Slippage: Or perhaps just painkiller-induced hallucinations. DEFINITELY sanity slippage now that she's out of her coma.
  • What the Hell, Hero?
  • Jerkass: And how. She seems perpetually disgusted with anyone and everyone she interacts with, aside from Derek.
  • Undying Loyalty: KK and Derek appear to be completely devoted to each other, despite KK's issues. It's also implied that this same devotion was extended to Christine, since KK drove cross-country and committed several crimes in an attempt to rescue her.
  • Friendly Enemies: With Morningstar of all people. May cross the line into Foe Yay
  • They're Called "Personal Issues" for a Reason: KK dislikes talking about her past or anything to do with it. Which pretty much means she doesn't like talking about herself at all.
  • Determinator: She just doesn't stop. Period.
  • Death Seeker: Implied by some of the comments on this post.
  • Ubermensch: Even before she went crazy, KK followed no moral code, seeing morals as useless and irrelevant, even hypocritical since nobody REALLY followed them. She feels no shame over this.
  • Nay Theist
  • Unreliable Narrator: KK frequently hallucinates and seems to have problems connecting to reality. Who knows if anything she says is really happening?
  • Self-Made Orphan: KK murdered her own father by beating him almost to death with a crowbar, letting him suffer on life-support for years, then ordering the doctors to pull the plug. He deserved it, but still....harsh.

Core Theory


The First Three Sages

Robert Sagel

The author of White Elephants, the progenitor of the Core Theory, the giver of Titles and one hell of an Unreliable Narrator

Tropes

  • All Myths Are True: He certainly thought so. It was his theory that each country has a monster which was made real by people passing the myths and legends on through the generations, and that Slender Man is America's monster.
  • Dead Man Writing: For a short time, other people posted on his blog to inform the mythos of his notes and such until he fell back into the mess.
  • Freudian Trio: With the other Sages. Largely a Spock type, but could be argued as a Kirk, given how he spearheaded the charge against Slender Man for a while.
  • Hearing Voices: He just doesn't know what they are.
  • Laser-Guided Amnesia
  • MacGuffin Escort Mission: Found a knife covered in Substance that he had shown to work against Slim and was convinced it was to be the weapon The Hero would use to defeat Slender Man. No such luck. The knife has disappeared. Or never existed. It's complicated.
  • Mad Scientist: Second only to the below Jay. Weapons tested against Slender Man for quite a while, as well as experiments on goo which Slender Man left in his wake on one occasion.
  • Mary Sue: Redlight claimed he was trying to be this.
  • Sanity Slippage: If not before, then now.
  • Shaggy Dog Story: Despite having his memory wiped and being freed of being haunted for a time, if Redlight is to be believed, he has become haunted all over again.
    • Made worse in Robert's update in which he discusses dreaming about an old man who has been driven insane, had it restored, then driven out of him over and over again in an endless vicious cycle. He think he's the old man in the dream and that is his fate. Sleep tight! Pleasant dreams!
  • That Man Is Dead: How current Robert views the Robert who wrote the original cached version of the blog.
  • Theme Naming: The Title System. As part of his methodology, he used rules and titles to try to lead up to a scenario in which a Hero would arise to defeat Slender Man.

Jay

Wrote Anomalous Data, experimented with Laser-Guided Amnesia, was rather morally ambiguous and supposedly died in a Heroic Sacrifice.

Tropes

  • Brain Bleach: Literally.
  • Freudian Trio: With the other Sages. Definitely The Spock.
  • Redemption Equals Death: He tries to save Lizzy, one of his subjects, despite the overwhelming odds there at the end.
  • I Did What I Had to Do: Firmly takes this stance whenever called out for his morally questionable actions.
  • Jerkass
  • Kick the Dog: A rare protagonist who kicked as often as our main villain in the time he was active.
  • Mad Scientist: The most straightforward example in the entire mythos. Human experimentation, needles full of acid to the brain, enforced amnesia, and enforced Amnesiac Dissonance are among his activities.
  • Pet the Dog: Defending Lizzy to the bitter end is possibly the first act of genuinely attempted heroism out of him.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Frequently called out by others, especially M, for using other people in his experiments.

Shaun

The protagonist of Testing 123, Shaun threw himself into dangerous experiments in an attempt to help others.

Tropes

The Second Three Sages

Zero

The protagonist of A Hint of Serendipity, One of Us, and Badass, who attempted to sacrifice himself in a gambit to weaken the Slender Man enough for others to be able to kill him. It didn't work, instead driving Zero insane. He now hunts his fellow Slenderstalked in an attempt to create a weapon from the arm bones of people he has murdered.

Tropes

Amelia

The author of Road to The Heavens, one of the only female sages, Mama Bear, and kind ear for the other bloggers.

Tropes

Maduin

Trickster Archetype, Jester, and the author of A Really Bad Joke, Maduin is simply Crazy Awesome.

Tropes

The Third Three Sages

Kay

Author of A Wand and a Prayer. An experiment involving crystals to help ward off the Slender Man in her dreams ends up leading Kay down the road of her past, as her tragic past resurfaces, culminating in a confrontation with her Complete Monster ex, Tom.

Tropes

Amalgamation Sage

Author of Records of an Impossibility. Self stylized shaman who understands the metaphysical Astral Plane brings his knowledge to the fight. Amalgamation's most notable accomplishment was summoning the Jersey Devil to preoccupy the Slender Man during a rescue attempt.

Tropes


Hakurei Ryuu

Author of I Am Stardust. A psych student, collaborator with Amalgamation Sage, and voice of sanity in the blogosphere.

Tropes

  • Awesomeness By Analysis
  • Badass Bookworm
  • Healing Hands: She has used this ability to help at least two other bloggers so far.
  • Insistent Terminology: Prefers to be called Ryuu (and greatly dislikes Hak or Haku) if people find Hakurei too long to type out.
  • It's All My Fault: Goes into something just shy of a BSOD when her best friend Mitch gets targeted via her blog.
  • Mind Screw: Purposefully invoked to counter the above mentioned BSOD.
  • Only Sane Man: Definitely the voice of sanity amongst bloggers, particularly when paired with Amalgamation Sage.
  • Power Trio: With Amalgamation Sage and Kay
  • The Shrink: At least for the Slenderverse
  • The Smart Girl: Ryuu is able to come up with spur of the moment plans and catch details that go unnoticed by everyone else around her.

Major Characters

Nessa

Author of a now defunct blog, Enter Light, Nessa was never-the-less a major player in the Core Theory, forcing Zero into his Heroic BSOD, and being mindwiped by Redlight.

Has returned a year later with a new blog, Clarion Call.

Tropes

  • Break/Kill the Cutie : Done to drive Zero to despair.
    • And again to do the same to Konaa. Permanently this time.
  • Not Quite Dead: They Never Found the Body after all.
  • Mad Artist: Shades of this. She loses control sometimes and draws without conscious knowledge.
  • Waif Prophet: Physically weak, and her drawings border on prophetic- she has drawn the Third Three Sages without even knowing their names or what they looked like.

Jeff

Self-proclaimed Keeper, troper, fanfic writer, and protagonist of They Call Us Keepers/Let Us Live/ Let us Keep Living.
