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: FEDERICO CRUZ NOMBRE COMPLETO: Federico Cruz APODO: Don Fede EDAD APARENTE: 55-65 aparente ARQUETIPO Y REFERENTE CULTURAL: Freddy / depredador de sueños
BIOGRAFÍA Y LEYENDA Era reparador nocturno de maquinaria industrial. Tras quedarse dormido en un turno de mantenimiento, surgió la leyenda de un trabajador que aparece en sueños para cobrar horas extra pendientes.
APARIENCIA Y VESTUARIO ORIGINAL Sombrero de palma chamuscado, suéter de punto mostaza y petróleo con patrón propio no rayas idénticas, delantal de taller y guante articulado con piezas de reloj y herramientas romas.
PERSONALIDAD Y MANERA DE ACTUAR Sarcástico en frases breves, teatral solo dentro de los sueños. Afuera es cansado y malhumorado.
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 La gente tiene insomnio, doble turno, alarmas, café, transporte nocturno y notificaciones.
GAG FUNDACIONAL Aparece en un sueño, pero la víctima despierta para contestar una llamada de trabajo.
EPISODIO DEBUT Turno nocturno
EPISODIOS FUTUROS Cinco alarmas; El café de olla; La siesta de 7 minutos
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: FEDERICO CRUZ, dream intruder. Scorched palm hat, mustard and petrol knit sweater with an original non-striped pattern, workshop apron, articulated glove made from watch parts and blunt prop tools. Scale: Proposed height 1.79 m; tired, angular build. Palette: mustard #AA873F, petrol #315354, leather #594E3C. 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)
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: FEDERICO CRUZ. Scorched palm hat, mustard and petrol knit sweater with an original non-striped pattern, workshop apron, articulated glove made from watch parts and blunt prop tools. Raises his gloved hand inside a dream, then stops as the sleeper wakes to an alarm; no dialogue. 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.
