Complete biography
FAILHORROR — CHARACTER BIBLE V1.0 CHARACTER: EL GERENTE DE SUCURSAL (THE BRANCH MANAGER) NARRATIVE TYPE: masked banker UNIVERSE: Santa Vela, northern Mexico; adapted to Latin America. STATUS: Creative proposal pending canon approval. Themed batch: oficina.
BIOGRAPHY AND URBAN MYTH A bank manager fired on merger day keeps appearing after closing at the downtown branch. He wears the bank mascot's mask and never forgets an overdue client.
ORIGINAL APPEARANCE AND ART DIRECTION Too-tight navy suit, logo tie and a foam piggy-bank mascot mask with a fixed faded grin; ATM lobby light.
PERSONALITY, BEHAVIOR AND RHYTHM Cordial, relentless, calculating. Must play the horror completely straight, with no comic winks to camera. Keep gestures minimal, pauses awkward and the silhouette consistent across episodes.
SUPERNATURAL RULE / MECHANICS He can only approach those with an overdue payment. Showing a printed payment receipt forces him back into the vault.
CLASH WITH LATIN AMERICAN LIFE minimum payment, bank security token, the ATM line
GAG AND DEBUT EPISODE Minimum Payment
THREE POSSIBLE EPISODES Minimum Payment; Your Token Expired; Extended Hours VISUAL AND SOUND LANGUAGE Realistic horror with light motivated by streets, homes, shops and appliances. Design an original sound motif and do not reuse recognizable music or effects. Locked-off camera or gentle moves; 5 seconds of action per shot; final micro-episodes of 15–45 seconds, vertical 9:16. Everyday Mexican sound as the punchline when it fits.
RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE REST OF THE CAST May occasionally cross paths with Jacinto, Chuy, Miguel Mayorga, Gaspar Flores or NULO, but must have standalone conflicts and gags. NULO keeps his status as the original through-line figure.
SAFETY AND DIFFERENTIATION Do not recreate masks, dresses, makeup patterns, catchphrases or signature scenes from franchises. Use harmless props and editing; do not depict graphic violence against children or animals. Review names, images and clearances before commercial use.
PENDING DELIVERABLES Approve final name; character turnaround (front, three-quarter, profile, back) and props; color palette; master continuity prompt; sound reference; first test clip; identity and consistency quality checks.

Master image prompt (EN)
Show prompt
Original grounded cinematic Latin American horror design: EL GERENTE DE SUCURSAL, masked banker. Too-tight navy suit, logo tie and a foam piggy-bank mascot mask with a fixed faded grin; ATM lobby light. Scale: Proposed height 1.86 m; suited silhouette with oversized head. Palette: navy #1F2A44, faded pink foam #D8A3A8, ATM light #BFE3F0. 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.

8-second performance test (EN)
Show prompt
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: EL GERENTE DE SUCURSAL. Too-tight navy suit, logo tie and a foam piggy-bank mascot mask with a fixed faded grin; ATM lobby light. The ATM glass door slides open and a suited figure with a piggy-bank head waves from inside. Cold security-camera light with a single warm practical source. 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.
