Earth man's silhouette and description



Earth man is a loath of bread that is not either gender he/she is genderless and is simply a loath of bread that is alive, she uses make up for a face and redraws emotions when she can.

earth man was made but mistake by dark conjuring and isn't almost the generic robot that wants to know what love is?
However earth man believes he found it by choosing female as the preferred gender and trying to have a relationship with any man possible. she will go to extreme lengths to find love. and as she develops she in facts captures men in the night and keeps them in cages to find out what love is and how to get it.

Olde Knick's silhouette and description


Olde Knick is the evil one of the group, just pure evil is only goal is to get what he wants and will use any means needed to do so, and what he wants? souls, mainly children's souls.

Olde knick spends his time mainly come up with plans to go to the outside world for souls and tormenting the others in the flat, olde Knick is also incredibly racist and sexist and every form of offensive.

Guy is the height of miserable people, with a miserable job, a miserable life, no car, no spouse or girlfriend.

episode structure, season structure, character development and key scenes of the first episode.



first episode structure: "you've got mail!"

Guy wakes up to a usual morning of the gang doing something completely insane and whacky, just to ignore it and drink his coffee and get by the day with no issues.

olde knick greets him in a creepy comical way of sneaking up behind Guy whilst he drinks his coffee and scares him with a tongue licking hello, at this point the door rings as Earth man knows who it is and prepares him/her selfs for the door.

and the post man is on the over side looking nervous and shocked, by Earth man before the post man knows Earth man is jumping on him and kissing his neck, the post man runs off in flash leaving behind the post and all the letters.

Guy picks the letter adressed to the house and reads it in horror, reading the words aloud to the others, it pans to their horror too, everyone panics as Guy takes control and tells them to get there essentials and this point everyone runs upstairs as Guy looks at the letter once more before a look of remorse and lets the letter go.

we see everyone get their belongings in different rooms, yarn cat with an empty room remembering olde knick took his stuff when they moved in, The Chairman is packing 3 suitcases of whisky and gin, olde knick is collecting jar of souls and is his one true treasure and lastly Earth man is packing thongs,bras etc amongst with sexual tools and items with tied up men in the back ground looking in pain.
