Location: Outside of Harvey’s Bar.
INFO: Just a homeless guy looking for some money.. Maybe try to help him some how? Or he has a sob story.. sorta based off of Robin Williams character in the FisherKing?

Old Priest: Is he really a priest?
Location: Outside of Harvey’s Bar.
INFO: The Old Priest is originally found standing near the homeless guy outside of Harvey’s Bar. Later he can be found inside the hotel ..sleeping... in a chair.
First encounter: The Old Priest asks the player for a few bucks for the poor.. “Have a few dollars my son for the sick and the poor?” If the player gives it to him he doesnt give any of the money to the homeless guy and the homeless guy gets cross with you.. “Why would you give it to him instead of me?” The priest then asks the player to find his missing briefcase.. the player then ends up finding a briefcase or already has it. The briefcase “smells weird..” & is “Old, dirty, and quite heavy” The player cant seem to open it without the combination. Upon bringing it back to the priest he says the briefcase isnt his.. and the Old Priest then comments on how the briefcase “has a strange odor & must be made from cheap leather..” He then gives the player a crowbar (or maybe the player has to find the combination some how? or insert puzzle here..) and asks the player to pry it open or open it somehow. In which the player wonders why the priest is carrying around a crowbar.. and asks the priest “Why do you have a crowbar?” The Old Priest just says “You can never be too careful.. my son..” then saying “Maybe there’s something inside worth a few bucks that we can give to this poor soul” When the player opens the briefcase the priest calmly states.... “Arms.. two severed arms...” then says.. “well.. the case isnt much.. but i can pawn it for a few bucks... im sick my son.. i need the money for my medicine...” and then the priest leaves the two severed arms on the street next to the homeless guy and takes off down the street with the briefcase...

Harney The Rabbit: a 6ft tall rabbit with an inclination towards boozing.. based off Harvey The Rabbit from the movie Harvey starring Jimmy Stewart.

The player isnt sure if he’s helping or tricking them. but he gives advice on how to progress the game or puzzles as the game progresses.. maybe only if the player drinks alcohol? Maybe drinking mini game or only have a 6 pack? or alcohol costs money and money is hard to come by? Location: Here and there.. / First appears under a lightpost outside of Harveys Bar but only if the player drinks alcohol? Maybe he only appears if you drink & can give hints to progressing the game and puzzles? Maybe also appears now and again without you drinking too tho in order to help or ..not help.. (depending).. you on your way.. *Think about the show Wilfred with Elijah Wood & Harvey the movie for inspiration here..

INFO/IDEAS: He owns the strange and mysterious gated mansion...
Location: Mysterious Mansion. He lives in the strange mansion and is a “retired eccentric rock musician” he traps the player in his mansion and is sorta based off of Michael Jackson at his weirdest and craziest as well as Arthur Brown obviously... and some hints of Bowie at his coked out peak.. maybe get some inspiration from The Laughing Gnostic website & stories told by Angie Bowie...? The mansion part of the game where the God Of Hellfire character lives is largely inspired by the movie “Nothing But Trouble” the mansion is filled with traps.. and puzzles.. In which the player has to escape.. He would originally greet you with a bizarre musical performance and maybe the player has to do a mini game sort of thing to dance how the God Of Hellfire wants him to in order to release him.. ? The mansion would be filled with weird black magic type stuff... inspired by Aleister Crowley.. and other occult jazz.. Maybe the towns people believe this is where the cause of the towns problems come from? The cause of it always being night time.. but.. ultimately the player discovers its not the cause.. and really the musician is harmless and discovers their life wasnt really at risk at any point in the mansion.. like a spike pit is actually made of rubber spikes or something dumb like that..

Maybe he used to be the butler for the God Of Hellfire? & maybe thats how you find a way into the gate of the Mansion? Also maybe held all sorts of various jobs in town over the years.. just throwing ideas out there.. hmm.. can also sorta be based off of Newman in Seinfeld some how... which was based off of how Larry David thought he could have ended up a bitter mailman & how being a mailman was his mothers dream job for him...
