Sal Fisher/Synopsis

The story of Sal Fisher in Sally Face.
==Past==
The Fisher family went on a picnic on August 16th, 1984, to a beautiful and sunny place, where young Sal sees a dog and is anxious to pet it. Sal's mother reluctantly agrees to let him see the animal after some nagging. But it turns out that the "dog" was actually a man—possibly Kenneth Phelps—carrying a shotgun and donning a dog mask.
He intended to kill the kid since a prophesy said that a little boy would thwart the Devourers of God's schemes. Even though his mother's life was lost, the kid managed to survive the incident. Sal would continue to insist that his mother was killed by a man and not a wild animal for years to come, even if his father and psychiatrist didn't agree with him.
Sal had to adjust to a new life with his prosthetic face after a disastrous hospital visit, and he internalised the nickname bullies would eventually give him: Sally Face.
==Moving to Addison Apartments==
The two surviving Fisher family members were abruptly transported from New Jersey to the enigmatic Addison Apartments Room 402 by unknown forces.
Sal decided to take a break midway through unpacking, and after talking to his father about how he felt about the relocation, he went off to explore the complex. Larry Johnson, Lisa's heavy metal-loving son, is introduced to Sal after he meets the attractive Lisa Johnson, and the two hit it off right away.
Sal was told by Larry of Mrs. Sanderson's murder by Charley Mansfield, and the young man is eager to lend his help. Sal returns to his room after coming up with a strategy and getting a walkie-talkie from Larry to wait for his friend's signal.
Sal was able to persuade Charley to put down his guard over his prized collection and attend to more urgent matters in the bathroom after mixing the laxatives with a cup of Addison Tea. Sal seizes the child's toy and gives it to the detective on the ground level. Mansfield is taken into custody and taken away.
Sal wanders towards the coroner's vehicle where Mrs. Sanderson's decomposing body was lying, bagged, and awaiting processing as he exits the apartment to see Charley off out of the building out of curiosity.
==The Curse==
Sal moved into Addison Apartments and after a few months started having nightmares. In one specific scenario, he is at the picnic where his mother was killed, then switches into Larry's shoes and is Sandy Sanderson's plumber on the day of Sandy's death.
Sal encounters the Glitter Pony he used to accuse Charley, now crying for water after being swallowed by the toilet. The Glitter Pony bloats once the plumbing is fixed, acting as a conduit for Sal to get back to the "surface" and see Mansfield kill Sanderson. Sal is being reprimanded by Charley Mansfield, who can be found seated, following a trail of bloody footsteps. When Charley's skin starts to come off to show a coal-black monster with crimson eyes, Sal is startled out of her slumber.
Sal tells Larry about his most recent vision, but Larry is dubious about the whole affair. In spite of this, Larry invites Sal to his tree home so he may tell him about his background. Sal, who had first encountered the Red-Eyed Demon in the apartment's kitchen on his first day, instantly recognised it from Larry's tale and offers to help him break his "curse." The two head inside after locating a mysterious Puzzle Box near a trunk that has Larry Johnson's father Jim's belongings.
After failing to call Megan Holmes from room 504's bathroom, Larry directs Sal to Todd Morrison, the building's resident genius and believer in the paranormal. Sal visits Todd without hesitation because she wants to prove to Larry that ghosts really exist.
Sal meets Ashley Campbell in Room 202 of Todd's residence. Todd offers to assist Sal by enhancing his Gear Boy's ability to recognise paranormal activities. After consuming Larry's Walkie Talkie and radio antennas, the contraption was prepared for testing in Todd's bathroom. Here, they summoned Greg Montague's sobbing spirit, who was swiftly chased away by the Red-Eyed Demon.
After getting past his first shock at the paranormal events, Todd recommends Sal to test it out more while he looks into the background of the killings at the Addison Apartments. Sal's experiments reveal the Phantom of Jim Johnson and different stages of a bizarre game spread across the apartment building. Sal doesn't inform his buddies of any of his discoveries.
The cops who arrested Charley were not listed in the police database, and the Charley Mansfield who was caught didn't like the one they knew, Sal returned to Todd when Megan stayed concealed despite the upgraded monitoring device. In addition, earlier accounts of Megan's body being discovered by Lake Wendigo include images of the young woman when she was still alive.
Sal invites Larry back to Room 504 and uses the Super Gear Boy and cross necklace to successfully entice Megan Holmes out of the identical lost object that contained the Super Gear Boy Cartridge.
She is frightened away by the demon after yet another brief encounter that showed a friendship between Jim Johnson and Megan's father Luke Holmes, leaving Larry and Sal in wonder. They both decided that more research should be done on the apartment room. Larry went back to take care of his ailing mother while Sal went to get a crowbar from David, a former heroin addict.
Sal found Jim Johnson's Puzzle Box's missing component after going to David's Room 302 to look around. Sal opened the box with the crowbar and found a strange computer chip inside before giving it back to Larry. Sal receives a muddled communication from the Phantom about a "red ball" when Todd's computer and the chip merge. When the vision is through, Sal discovers that the chip has been replaced with a Rubix cube, and neither Todd nor Larry can remember it.
Sal broke into Room 403 with a crowbar and had a brief conversation with the newly departed Mrs. Sanderson's spirit before the demon scared her away as well.
Sal returned to Room 504 and was ultimately successful in calling the ghost of Stacy Holmes, who remained silent until vanishing, into the bedroom. Sal discovered a hole in the wall leading to another chamber farther within the bedroom. Sal went into the hole and called up the spirit of Luke Holmes who was hanging. The ghost shed its skin as Sal tried to talk to him, revealing an enraged Red-Eyed Demon. Before the demon could accomplish anything, it was expelled by Larry, who had intervened, using a unique tool that Todd had developed.
When it became evident that there was no longer a threat, Sal consoled a distraught Larry over his father's "abandonment."
==The Bologna Incident==
Except for the loss of a number of students, most of the events that followed the Red-Eyed Demon's disappearance seemed regular to Sal, who had been close friends with Todd, Ashley, Chug, and Maple. The day Sal took a math test, the paranormal began to reappear in events.
Sal, who finished his math exam far earlier than the rest of his class, diverted himself with drawings before falling asleep. Travis Phelps, the bully, is enraged when Mrs. Packerton quickly wakes him up and tells him he scored well on his test. As soon as the lesson is over, Travis confronts Sal and Ashley in the hallways, strikes Sal in the face, and causes blood to ooze out. Sal refuses any requests from his friends to get revenge on Travis, stating that doing so will just make matters worse with him.
Sal notices that the bologna being served at lunch the next day tasted funnier than it normally did, which prompts his pals to speculate about the source of the meat. Sal, with the exception of Chug and Maple, decided to look into the situation rather than leave it a mystery.
Sal looks for other options after being rudely turned away by Kim Yazzie, the lunch woman. Sal and Larry worked together to take a picture of Kim's file since they thought she was to blame for the bologna's state. Sal snapped a picture of a bird and gave it to Kim Yazzie because she used to be an amateur nature photographer. After seeing the photo, Kim agreed to give Sal a sample of the bologna and the name of the supplier, Mrs. Packerton.
Sal runs across a sobbing Travis in the bathroom as he heads back to the laboratories to examine the samples of bologna. Sal is being threatened by Travis, but the boy remains and consoles him, telling him that all he had to do to ask for a friend was ask.
Sal's team came to the conclusion that they required further information regarding Packerton's source of the bologna after inspecting the meat. Sal and Larry broke into Packerton's classroom before the break, unlocked her desk drawer, and discovered various cult-like items, including something like Jim Johnson's puzzle box. Shortly later, Sal is repeatedly troubled by visions of The Phantom, who this time gives an illegible message before disappearing.
Sal and Larry broke into Packerton's apartment that evening while he was gone, discovering a goat's severed head in the refrigerator and two closed doors. Mr. Packerton, who was connected to a life support system and was in a vegetative condition, was behind one of the doors. Sal summons Mr. Packerton as a ghost with the Super Gear Boy. The ghost asks to be put to death rather than acknowledging knowledge of the bologna's origins. Sal pulls the plug after agreeing.
They were pushed into hiding by Ashley, who they thought was Packerton, and Larry discovered a key to the next room, which included a bloody butcher shop filled with pictures of missing children from the papers and a footlocker fridge with a pentagram on it. Sal searches the freezer for his vanished classmates' deboned meat.
Disgusted but relieved to have learned the origin of the lunchmeat, they made the decision to depart and come up with a plan to deal with Packerton. Ashley finds a concealed garbage chute behind a painting of a farm and unintentionally descends into the apartment building's basement before they can finish their escape. The two boys quickly take action to help their pal after experiencing terror.
==Devourers of God==
After Sal and Larry have retrieved Todd, they go into a basement area that is hidden by the Lost and Found bookshelves. Sal finds a cellar door heading farther below despite the area being mostly empty. Todd is put in charge of keeping the entry gate open as they enter the temple of the Devourers of God. Sal and Larry encounter a pedestal before another gate after traversing the temple's maze and pressure plate puzzle gates.
Sal inserted the piece he stole from Packerton into the pedestal, which unlocked the barrier and allowed access to a room with heaps of bones from the Cult's victims. Fortunately, Ashley was not hurt and was just found asleep on top of one of the heaps.
The team wanted to know what they should do to make sure Packerton can't hurt anybody else after removing Ashley securely from the temple. Sal is horrified when his pals suggest murdering her. Sal persuaded them to take the matter to sleep, but the next morning they discovered that there was no need to act since Packerton had been murdered by a drunk driver while travelling home.
Sal and his friend's lives resumed as usual when Packerton passed away. Sal became Larry's stepbrother after Henry and Lisa were married, Ashley went off to art school, and Todd and Neil built a house for the buddies to live in while they were in college.
However, it was short-lived. Sal's dreams started up again, and the Addison Apartments ghosts disappeared. Sal and his step-brother decided to look into the cursed building one final time before Larry moved in with the rest of the "Ghostnabbers" as a result of these occurrences.
==The Endless One==
Sal received unsettling text messages from Larry when he got home. Sal went to the treehouse behind the apartment complex when his step-brother didn't pick up his mobile phone, only to discover Larry's suicide letter explaining his motivation: the darkness was beginning to corrupt him.
Ashley claimed at Sal's trial that when she saw Sal afterwards, she believed he was intoxicated. She confronted him for the first time and informed Henry and Lisa that Sal was not feeling well. Later, she regrets leaving Sal behind.
Sal entered the treehouse, donned the Necrolight Guitar, and asked Todd for help. He discovered an empty vodka bottle on the floor. Sal was transferred to the top of the apartment building, directly near the Pillar, by Alyson Rosenberg's ghost before a thorough investigation could be conducted.
Sal demolished the pillar with the aid of Larry's Ghost, releasing the locals from the Endless One's control (temporarily).
Sal discovered the truth as soon as he walked inside Terrence Addison's room. The Endless One had previously attempted to infect the structure and had been able to take control of every Addison family member. He was only stopped by a young Terrence who was able to resist his influence long enough to kill his family and stop him from spreading. For years, Terrence had been under the power of The Endless One, who had taken on the form of him.
Sal used the Necrolight Guitar to defeat the Endless One, and after a brief encounter with the actual Terrence Addison, he was given a horrifying mission: eliminate everyone who has been affected by the Dark, or the shadows would continue to devour more people. Sal finally gave in and killed everyone who lived in the apartment complex, including his own father, after much consideration.
Sal completed the task and then exited the premises. Ashley Campbell and the Nockfell Police Department met him outside, who was in shock.

==The Trial==
Sal Fisher was detained and awaiting trial for an unkown period of time after being dubbed "The Sally Face Killer" by the media. To ascertain whether Sal was a victim of his own mental illness or not, the courts designated Dr. Enon as Sal's psychiatrist. Enon was interested in Sal's weird visions and stories and wanted to pick his brain about them in the hopes that they might reveal why Sal had committed mass murder.
Sal informed Enon about his dream in which he was at the hospital and discovered his mother's body during the penultimate session before his trial. Sal was asked to describe his first day at Addison Apartments after Enon dismissed it as a "interesting fantasy." Sal agrees, but at first he's reluctant to discuss about Larry Johnson's life after high school, and by the time he was ready to share, the meeting had already concluded.
Sal's encounters with the Red-Eyed Demon and the spirits of the Addison Apartments were discussed in his most recent session with Enon, who disapproves of the notion of a supernatural presence in his patient's life. When the allotted time for the session had once more passed, Sal was dragged away while yelling for Enon to check out Larry's tree home in the hopes of finding some answers.
Sal has another dream of The Phantom three days before his interview with Faux News Anchor Clare Nettles (or the cultist who took her place), and this time The Phantom is speaking in clear phrases. Sal then discovered that Enon had just 73 hours remaining and was dead.
Sal told Clare during their meeting that he would be defending himself at the next trial without a lawyer. Clare informs Sal that his aversion to bologna was the most frequently asked about him. Sal grudgingly agrees to talk about the Bologna Incident in full exchange for two things: the account to be broadcast uncensored, and he to be informed on Todd Morrison's condition. Clare keeps her promise and tells Sal about the deteriorating health of his friend. Sal wants to meet him and says he can tell what went wrong.
Sal narrates the events of that tragic day leading up to the mass murder at his trial.
Despite Sal's best attempts to alert the public to the cult's activities and the spread of Red Eyes, he was found guilty due to a mountain of testimony, a replacement for Dr. Enon, and a worried Ashley Campbell. Ashley Campbell, who fiercely objected to the death sentence, was his lone witness; three years later, he was executed in the electric chair.
==Memories and Dreams==
Ash reads the inscription on Sal's grave, "Son of Henry and Diane Fisher. 1976 – 2004," and she says, "I wish you were here, Sal."
Sal made steps to return to the corporeal, putting together the pieces of his soul that were spread over various worlds after his death, while the young lady described to him her attempts to thwart the cult's objectives. He narrates old recollections of his life as he travels, recalling events as recent as a movie night he had with his stepbrother and as distant as his first day of school.
Ashley Campbell's dying form was attached to by Sal, who, with the help of Jim Johnson and Ashley Campbell, returned to the physical realm as a ghost and gave her special powers that might harm The Dark. The Phelps Temple's central chambers were blocked off when the two, who were now one, returned.
Sal discovered Jim Johnson's notes from his time within the cult's ranks and his journey back to the ghostly world while looking for a way to end the lockdown.
Sal first encounters Travis's father, Kenneth Phelps, as he enters the central chamber. Following a brief encounter, Ashley and Sal are attacked by the Plague of Shadows and the cultists (on the spectral plane). Sal is on the verge of being overpowered by the shadows but is saved by his stepbrother Larry in his weakened state. The three worked together to defeat the Void and put an end to the Plague of Shadows.
The celebration among the old friends is short-lived because Larry disappeared, but Sal will never give up looking for him.
