The Director

The Director

**Director #534** (Commonly addressed as simply **The Director**) is an antagonist in the OSHAverse. The Director is a high-up employee of Evil OSHA and is in charge of conquering Earth 534-B. He is the only Director who has made a confirmed appearance in the OSHAverse so far.

## History

### Origins

The Director's exact origins are unknown, but it can safely be assumed that the Director was a multiversal constant on another Earth before he was brainwashed and manipulated by Evil OSHA. (This is supported by many pieces of lore directly stating this is how all Directors are created)

### Employment at Evil OSHA

Before being put in charge of Earth 534-B, The Director worked under the Superior in an unknown Evil OSHA office location. Superior and The Director have always had an intense rivalry, which has only intensified with Superior's recent appearance in The Director's offices on Earth-534-B.

## Appearance

### Humanoid

In his humanoid form, which is his most common, The Director bears the appearance of a pale Caucasian male, with a slightly muscular build and a head of jet-black hair, which is typically styled with either exagerrated spikes or combed neatly. His eyes are pure white, have no pupils and glow slightly. In most art the upper half of his face is masked by a dark, cloudy shadow, although this is purely a stylistic choice and in-universe his face is perfectly visible. His facial features are sharp and serious, with slightly sunken cheekbones.

The Director has a height of 5'3, although his weight is unknown.

The Director typically wears a charcoal suit, with a dark grey or white shirt, and a dark red tie. In addition, he sometimes wears black leather gloves. He is also surrounded by a mass of chains, which are unbreakable and commonly used by him as weapons. They are said to "dampen" his powers, implying that he is potentially more powerful than he is currently, and that there is a desire among his employers to keep aforementioned powers in check.

### Eldritch

The Director only takes on his eldtrich form if he is especially angered, or needs to use the fullest extent of his powers that the chains will allow. It has not been described much, as any ordinary person glancing at this form will go mad and potentially die, by either a heart attack or suicide, but what we do know is that it is somewhat shapeless, larger than The Director's humanoid form, and still is surrounded by the chains from his humanoid form.

## Personality

The Director is frequently shown to be stern, serious, demanding, cruel and cold, however he is not without his fair share of lighthearted, or otherwise emotional moments, demonstrated by his occasionally noticable concern and appreciation of Employee Blackbox and Evil Secretary, although he frequently refuses to admit such feelings. He has been shown to ponder his morality, values, and his mission to conquer and enslave Earth 534-B.

That being said, The Director more frequently exhibits a harsh and indifferent attitude towards others, as well as reveling in the pain and suffering of others, such as Arthur Donovan.

The Director's highest priority is working towards securing the multiversal constant and conquering Earth 534-B, and has devised several plans to acheive that goal.

The Director is also a high-functioning alcoholic and cocaine addict, frequently using both substances to try and supress his more vulnerable emotions. He has been shown to be aware of pop culture, referencing films such as American Psycho, and is a fan of several bands, including Talking Heads, My Chemical Romance, and Huey Lewis and The News.

Although he can exhibit a range of emotions, The Director most commonly speaks in an indifferent and/or commanding tone to others, rarely shifting tone to anything other than anger or disgust. However, when under the influence of alcohol he speaks in a more melancholy tone, and when under the influence of cocaine he speaks in a tone that is faster and more excited than his usual way of speaking.

The Director is canonically gay, which was revealed through a long conversation between himself and the Secretary, which ended with The Director accepting his sexuality and sharing a drink with the Secretary in celebration, a 1959 Dom Perignon. It is unknown if The Director has any romantic or sexual interests (Although he did compliment the ass of his cocaine dealer once).

## Powers and Abilities

* **Chains:** The Director is in possession of a mass of large chains floating around his body, which he can control and use as weapons to implale, hit, strangle, and tie up individuals.
* **Telepathic Communication:** The Director can communicate with other individuals telepathically, regardless of whether he knows their exact location. So far, this power has only been exhibited once, when he communicated with Arthur, who was inside an unknown location within the Union of Mad Scientists at the time.
* **Shapeshifting:** The Director can take on many forms, such as his humanoid form or his eldritch form.

## Trivia

* The seed idea for The Director was based off of the G-Man character from Half-Life, with the concept of a mysterious figure working for a largely unknown organisation being the main 2 character traits prevalent in both characters.
