FAILHORROR | BIBLIA DE PERSONAJE V1.0 Estado: desarrollo creativo, canon visual pendiente de aprobación. Universo: Santa Vela, ciudad ficticia de inspiración norteña mexicana. Principio de franquicia: el horror se interpreta con absoluta seriedad; la vida cotidiana latinoamericana provoca el fracaso. Advertencia creativa y legal: homenajes a arquetipos, no recreaciones de diseños protegidos; revisar nombres, semejanza visual, marcas y guiones antes de monetización.
NOMBRE EN PANTALLA: DON GILBERTO NOMBRE COMPLETO: Gilberto Salinas APODO: El de los acertijos EDAD APARENTE: 65-75 aparente ARQUETIPO Y REFERENTE CULTURAL: Jigsaw / maestro de trampas morales
BIOGRAFÍA Y LEYENDA Exprofesor de electrónica de un centro de capacitación técnica. Crea pruebas morales barrocas porque cree que la gente nunca lee instrucciones.
APARIENCIA Y VESTUARIO ORIGINAL Chaqueta de profesor jubilado color vino, lentes cuadrados gruesos, maletín de herramientas; usa un pequeño muñeco de madera con ruedas y rostro tallado abstracto, sin espirales rojas ni triciclo emblemático.
PERSONALIDAD Y MANERA DE ACTUAR Pedante, perfeccionista, habla como capacitador de curso obligatorio. Se frustra con improvisaciones.
CÓDIGO DEL PERSONAJE No romper personaje para hacer chistes. El terror es sincero, la interrupción cotidiana es la broma. Nunca mostrar violencia gráfica ni poner en riesgo a menores o animales. Conservar la silueta, utilería, paleta y la forma de caminar entre episodios.
CONFLICTO CÓMICO / DEBILIDAD Apagones, extensiones eléctricas, tutoriales, asistentes que preguntan lo obvio y víctimas que desenchufan el mecanismo.
GAG FUNDACIONAL Tras veinte minutos explicando las reglas, alguien pregunta si la prueba tiene opción múltiple.
EPISODIO DEBUT ¿Dónde está el tutorial?
EPISODIOS FUTUROS Se fue la luz; ¿Cuenta para calificación?; Reinícialo
SONIDO, CÁMARA Y REGLAS DE PRODUCCIÓN Sonido: asignar una firma propia en pruebas (no reutilizar bandas sonoras ni efectos reconocibles de películas). Cámara: encuadres estables, contraplanos de reacción, una sola interrupción cotidiana por microescena. Estética: terror cinematográfico de calle residencial y comercio de barrio. Formato base: 9:16; microepisodios de 15–45 segundos. Todo accesorio amenazante debe ser utilería segura.
RELACIONES CON ELENCO NULO es personaje original independiente y potencial figura transversal; el resto pueden cruzarse ocasionalmente en Santa Vela sin volver la serie una parodia de grupo. Mantener cada debut independiente y comprensible para audiencias globales.
ESTADO DE CANON / PENDIENTES Propuesta v1.0; falta concept art frontal/lateral, hoja de silueta, paleta final, aprobación del nombre, prueba de actor/voz, revisión legal y clip de continuidad de 5 s.

Master image prompt (EN)
Original grounded cinematic Latin American horror design: DON GILBERTO, mechanical trial designer. Wine retired-teacher jacket, thick square glasses, tool briefcase; small wheeled wooden doll with an abstract carved face, no red spirals or iconic tricycle. Scale: Proposed height 1.70 m; slightly stooped. Palette: wine #683840, wood #9A7753, gray #696A65. Physically plausible photographed materials, serious restrained presence, no humorous pose. Neutral lighting, isolated full silhouette or location plate for a bodiless phenomenon, 10 percent empty margins, no collage, no text, no brands. Preserve every defining feature from the identity reference. New production measurements are design proposals.
12 / PRODUCTION SHEET
8-second performance test (EN)
Single locked-off eight-second realistic cinematic shot, vertical 9:16. Use the approved master when available; until then label output exploratory. Character or phenomenon: DON GILBERTO. Wine retired-teacher jacket, thick square glasses, tool briefcase; small wheeled wooden doll with an abstract carved face, no red spirals or iconic tricycle. Aligns an instruction card next to a harmless unpowered mechanism; a hand unplugs it and he freezes. Warm motivated street light with soft cool fill. Continuous shot. The action must be understandable with the sound muted. No dialogue, no text, no lip-sync, no comedy performance; the everyday interruption carries the humor. Keep identity, scale, anatomy, costume, palette and prop count stable.
13 / PRODUCTION SHEET
Generation constraints (EN)
No dialogue, captions, speech bubbles, readable text, lip-sync, comic dance, cartoon rendering, celebrity likeness, borrowed franchise design, gore, extra limbs, identity morphing, outfit changes, duplicated props, mirrored handedness, camera orbit, jump cuts or uncontrolled zoom.
14 / PRODUCTION SHEET
Sound and silent comprehension
Original task or material foley; restrained local ambience. No dialogue, vendor calls or franchise music. Sound may reinforce the beat but must not explain it. Test comprehension with sound off.
15 / PRODUCTION SHEET
Quality control
1 Stable identity/shape; 2 silhouette and scale; 3 materials/palette; 4 props and handedness; 5 anatomy or VFX layers; 6 camera and light; 7 serious performance; 8 meaning understood without audio or text. Each criterion: PASS/FAIL + note. For NULO also check six keys, opaque visor, incomplete circle and two-second final pause.
