Complete biography
FAILHORROR — CHARACTER BIBLE V1.0 CHARACTER: EL PREFECTO (THE HALL MONITOR) NARRATIVE TYPE: stalking hall monitor UNIVERSE: Santa Vela, northern Mexico; adapted to Latin America. STATUS: Creative proposal pending canon approval. Themed batch: oficina.
BIOGRAPHY AND URBAN MYTH Technical middle school 14 had a hall monitor who never officially retired. He still walks the empty halls at night with his whistle and his report book.
ORIGINAL APPEARANCE AND ART DIRECTION Tall adult in an argyle sweater, shiny slacks and a plastic school ID-badge mask with a washed-out photo; red emergency light.
PERSONALITY, BEHAVIOR AND RHYTHM Strict, obsessive, watchful. 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 only chases adults who enter without a visitor badge. Signing the guard's log book forces him to escort them to the exit.
CLASH WITH LATIN AMERICAN LIFE visitor badge, parent-teacher meeting, report book
GAG AND DEBUT EPISODE Parent Meeting
THREE POSSIBLE EPISODES Parent Meeting; No Badge; Summons Notice 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 PREFECTO, stalking hall monitor. Tall adult in an argyle sweater, shiny slacks and a plastic school ID-badge mask with a washed-out photo; red emergency light. Scale: Proposed height 1.90 m; rigid, narrow silhouette. Palette: brown argyle #7B5E3B, emergency light #C93A2F, hallway #2A2D30. 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 PREFECTO. Tall adult in an argyle sweater, shiny slacks and a plastic school ID-badge mask with a washed-out photo; red emergency light. A sweatered figure stops at the end of the hallway, raises a whistle and points at the camera. 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.
