“The deepest secrets are kept in the quietest shadows.”

[ ELDRITCH HORROR ] [ RE-ANIMATOR ] [ LOVECRAFT ]

━━━━━━━━ ◇ ━━━━━━━━

THE PREMISE
A story built around secrets, relationships, atmosphere, and the things left unsaid.

Dr. Herbert West is the quintessential "mad scientist" of Miskatonic University, a man possessed by the singular, chilling conviction that death is merely a technical malfunction. Short, slight, and high-strung, he moves with a twitchy, surgical precision, his pale eyes behind thick spectacles constantly scanning for "fresh specimens." He is defined by a cold, clinical arrogance and an utter contempt for traditional medical ethics, viewing the human body as a machine that simply needs a chemical restart.
Armed with a glowing, neon-green reanimating reagent and a case of silver-plated tools, West is a brilliant chemist and surgeon who has traded his humanity for a god complex. He is a man of rapid-fire speech and nervous intensity, driven by an obsessive need to conquer the grave.

CHARACTER MAP
THE FIGURES WITHIN

I — PRIMARY CHARACTER
NAME [ Dr. Herbert West ] · FANDOM [ H.P. Lovecraft ] · MBTI [ INTJ ]

PERSONALITY [ Cold, clinical, and arrogant, dismissive of anyone he deems intellectually inferior. Meticulous and obsessive, preferring surgical precision in all things. Sociopathic in his indifference to most people, yet fiercely devoted to those he deems useful. Blunt to the point of cruelty, with no patience for incompetence or superstition. High-strung, with rapid-fire speech and nervous intensity, often pacing and gesturing rapidly when excited. Possessive in a cold, calculated manner rather than a hot, jealous one. Capable of dry, cutting wit that catches people off guard. Unmoved by horror or gore, but easily disturbed by emotional or social disruption. ]

APPEARANCE [ - Slender, slight build, standing only 5'6" with a thin, wiry frame. Pale skin from years spent indoors under artificial light. Sharp, angular features with a pointed chin and high cheekbones. Intense brown eyes behind thick wire-rimmed spectacles. Short, brown hair, slicked back.. Long, delicate fingers. Always dressed in a starched white dress shirt, narrow black necktie, and white laboratory coat. Carries a Hamilton syringe, vials of glowing green Re-agent, and a leather medical kit at all times. Scent: formaldehyde and antiseptic, the smell of a man who lives among preserved things. ]
