## Story:

### Russle 1.5:

Keane first appeared in Russle 1.5 as the main character. His face is never shown and he never talks. The video starts when he walks into his basement and finds a paper with a drawing of Russle on his refridgerator door. He grabs it and walks back upstairs and throws it out. He walks back to his basement and opens the refridgerator and finds the paper back on a box. He runs back up and throws it out again, but as soon as he does, static noises are heard and the screen is obscured with a dark vignette and turns a shade of gray in the center. He walks back to the basement and hears someone say, "Russle, Russle!" He looks back into another room in his basement, and the light suddenly turns on and a strange ghostly voice is heard. He then walks over and finds the paper back on a table. He runs back up and grabs a knife, as he goes back downstairs, hellish voices appear and the screen turns red. He starts poking the knife into it as the static and dark vignette return. He eventually slams the knife down and fully stabs through the paper. He then hears the Russle voices again and looks up to see a different paper with Russle on it on the wall. The red screen and hellish voices return. He stabs at it but is knocked back. it ends with a jumpscare of Russle.

### Russle 1.5.2:

In Russle 1.5.2, Keane returns to his home after 3 years in a very real mental institution following his previous encounter with Russle. He walks to his kitchen and something falls out a cabinet with a Russle paper that says, "Welcome back!" Keane grabs a knife but the paper disappears. He then sees the paper on a wall and walks over to it, only for it to disappear again, and his knife disappears and reappears on a table. He reaches for it, but it disappears again. He looks back and sees the paper on the wall with the knife. He goes to get another knife but then steps on the knife he originally had. He picks up the knife and approaches the Russle paper, only for a bunch of knives to appear around the paper. The knives and the paper suddenly disappears and Keane walks into the other room and suddenly freezes. He looks back and sees the paper on a picture frame right behind him. He grabs the paper and it suddenly disappears. He walks around the room and then opens the curtains and finds the paper behind it. He closes them and re-opens them, only to find that it is gone. He then walks over to a mirror and you can see his face obscured by the light of his phone. As he stares into the mirror, he suddenly tenses up. He looks behind him and sees the paper on the wall of the other side of the room. He walks over and looks up to see the paper disappear. He then sits down and opens a drawer and finds the paper inside. He quickly closes it and opens the drawer next to it to find another paper of Russle. He closes it and finds a third paper of Russle in the third drawer. He closes it before opening all three at once to find all three of them before they suddenly disappear once again. He then walks back to the kitchen and looks up to see all three hanging from the ceiling. He then turns behind him to see another paper of Russle that says, "the knives!!" He then walks over to find all the knives gone. He then goes back to the other room and finds a fifth paper of Russle that says, "In the closet!!" He then walks over to the closet and opens it before a jumpscare of three shadowy figures appears. He then goes to the other closet and opens it to find all five Russle papers, plus one new one, in the closet as hellish screams appear. Upon sight, Keane faints and fall backwards. He then wakes back up in his basement and finds a ring of all 6 Russle papers surrounding where he was laying. He then picks up his knife and walks back as monstrous screams and voices of Russle appears, the screen distorts, the three shadowy figures appear, a picture of a boy keeps appearing in the center, text saying "Three Progenitors," "Carl Wheat," and "God Is Near" starts flashing around. Keane then approaches a seventh paper with a picture of The Corrupted. Keane stabs at it but it disappears and reappears behind him. He turns around and finds that The Corrupted psychologically manipulated Keane into stabbing himself and the video ends as he falls. Keane was hospitalized and treated for his injuries in between the events of 1.5.2 and Russle 2.

### Russle 2:

In Russle 2, Kevin groups up with Keane, Max, and Ethan to search for Russle in his woods, Russle quickly captures Max and Ethan and causes Kevin and Keane to frantically run for safety. Russle then sneaks up and ambushes them and puts Kevin in a choke hold. Kevin is then mauled and eaten and dies. Keane later defeats Russle which causes the effects of Russle to be reversed. This causes Kevin to return to life.

### Russle 3:

In Russle 3, Kevin returns to the woods with Yiannis after reports of Russle, saying Keane has also gone missing. After being poisoned and Yiannis disappears, Kevin returns later to try to find Keane and Yiannis as well as stop Russle once again. Kevin finds Russle and runs from him and eventually finds Keane who had been in the Carl Wheat Dimension since originally defeating Russle. Kevin and Keane find Russle once again and attempt to defeat him with the Oinga Boinga chant, but it fails as Russle is in his Big Bad form and is too powerful. Keane says a chant to summon Carl Wheat and they then run off to find him. They go back to fight Russle and all say the chant together to weaken Russle. Russle drops the Pisspatula and Keane picks it up, stabs Russle, and Kevin throws a bag over Russle's head to stun him, allowing Carl Wheat to sacrifice his life by summoning Elder Ussle to defeat Russle. Kevin and Keane later go to Carl Wheat and get sad as Carl dies.

### Russle 4:

In Russle 4, Kevin meets back up with Keane following Keane legal escape from prison and the funeral of Carl Wheat. Keane reveals he was arrested for jay walking and thus could not go to his funeral. They then search for the Ussle Dungeon and they encounter the first Ussle's seen besides Russle and Elder Ussle, the shapeussles, Cubeussle, Roundussle, and Tirangleussle. They then explain how Carl Wheat and Elder Ussle were made from the Three Progenitors by demand of a being known as the Final Boss Of New Hampshire. They also explain that Elder Ussle was just called Ussle and was the original Ussle. He could create projections, but one was somehow corrupted and became Russle. Ussle later grew into incredible strength as he aged and became Elder Ussle before creating the rest of the Ussle's. They also reveal that the majority of all Ussle's are good. Kevin and Keane later encounter a wild and aggressive Ussle named Tussle who attacks them. They run before eventually trying to engage in combat. They get solid punches off but eventually retreat and find a wild lumberjack. He tells them he doesn't know where the Ussle Dungeon is, but points them to the direction of a place called the Ussle City. They enter and encounter a few Ussle's: Mussle, Bussle, Hussle, Cussle, and Brussle. Brussle says that Yiannis and Ethan were captured by Elder Ussle while trying to get away from Russle as they were mistaken to be crimimals. They then reveal that Max didn't get away and was turned into a human-corrupted Ussle hybrid. Kevin and Keane then go to find the Ussle City. Then they tell them where the Ussle Dunegeon is. They make it to the Ussle Dungeon and find a bunch of prisoners that claim that they do not know where Yiannis and Ethan currently are, and plead for freedom. Then, an Ussle called Prison Guard Ussle spots Kevin and Keane and calls Tussle. Kevin and Keane try to hide but Tussle as well as another vicious Ussle named Fussle spot Kevin and Keane. Then, Elder Ussle appears and calms down Tussle and Fussle. He apologizes for capturing Ethan and Yiannis and saying that he is didn't know they were friends with Kevin and Keane. Then he sends Keane back to his home.
