Ernesto

== Description ==
Ernesto, also referred to as "The Shoveler", is a 6'0 human male that is rarely found in any level outside of his home level, Level 935. Ernesto is known to only wear winter clothing such as snow pants and a winter coat. The hood of the coat is always up, casting a shadow that covers his face, with the exception of his blank eyes. It is suspected that all his clothing is frozen to his body and cannot be removed. Ernesto wields a shovel that he mostly uses for shoveling snow or knocking wanderers unconscious. Despite his skin appearing to be frozen solid, he is still able to move, though his movements are often slow unless he is attacking. Ernesto is difficult to attack, as the ice on his skin is hard as steel and keeps any object ranging from knives to bullets from penetrating his skin.
Ernesto is a peaceful and curious entity that may stalk wanderers who enter Level 935. He is often very persistent and will not stop stalking one until they die or exit the level. He is also a tad shy, and will often try to keep his distance from wanderers, but will not run if approached. Though he is passive, many have described him as creepy or off-putting when in extended contact with him, therefore it is advised to stay out of sight and leave him alone. He is also afraid of fire, despite the ice on his skin being unable to thaw, and will run away from them if he sees one. When Ernesto speaks, his voice is very shaky and he will pause in between sentences.
==Discovery and History==
Ernesto was discovered upon the discovery of Level 935 after an alleged blizzard wiped out all the inhabitants. He claimed to be the only survivor, and it was later confirmed that he buried the bodies of the other inhabitants. It is still unknown why Ernesto was the only survivor, and he refuses to say anything more about the incident. He is also aware of the disappearances in Level 935, but does not seem to like talking about them. all I know.. they got lost in the snow..
He said to have lived in this level his entire life, and never once left. He states he does not know why or how he survived the blizzard, but has never been the same since. After confessing to burying the other inhabitants in the snow prior to the blizzard, he ran away and locked himself in his house, which some speculate is why he is so nervous around other wanderers. Prior to this conversation, he left two notes on his door. One was a "Do not disturb" sign. The other one was handwritten and difficult to understand, due to his shaky handwriting, but eventually the note was figured out and translated.
The day I was questioned brought back so many memories that I wanted to forget. They hurt, but at the same time it feels nice to remember the good times I had with my friends. This place always has been my safe spot. Somewhere I could stay forever and do what I want. But now all I want is to be alone. And yet you come back and knock on my door every day. I am sorry, I do not want to talk. I don't want to see you. I just want to remember. All of this, the blizzard, the casualties, the cold.. it reminds me of my friend. I cannot remember his name, but the story he told me will be burned into my memory forever. His story about the creators of this universe. They say they watch us, controlling this places every move. Creating stories, and creating endings. All just for fun.
What did I do to deserve an ending like this?
