Hellin

**Hellin, the Poltergeist** is a playable character in the *Atmosfear* series.

## Background

### *The Harbingers*

Hellin was an infant trouble-maker who once threw a temper tantrum so violent, it caused an aneurysm in her brain and she died. But now baby Hellin never has to pick up her toys again and it's never bedtime in her wretched fairground where the ride of your life will cost you it.

Haunting a rancid toy box, the problem child from The Other Side is as spoiled as she is rotten. Enough to wipe the smile off a laughing clown. Hellin doesn't throw tantrums - she throws anything and everything she can get her sticky little fingers on.

### *The Gatekeeper*

Helin was born so angry that she smacked the doctor back! It was hardly surprising then that after a brief, tempestuous life this little infant trouble-maker threw a tantrum so fierce that it pushed her over the edge.

Out of the bedroom and into the afterlife, Helin now had a new haunting ground, a rancid playroom, where she would never have to pick up her toys and there was no such thing as bedtime.

Quick to discover her new gift, she took to visiting the living in their nightmares, and terrified her unwilling victims so effectively that some simply never woke up.

But all good things must come to an end and one night during the execution of a particularly nasty dream, she was trapped and banished to The Other Side where she now waits, impatient and **purple** with rage, for her time to wreak havoc again.

So many Nightmares - so little time.

### *Khufu the Mummy*

Helin was born so angry that she smacked the doctor back! A constant trouble-maker all her short and grumpy life, she one day threw a temper tantrum so violent even she couldn't handle it and simply died on the spot.

The upside was that in her new playpen on The Other Side baby Helin never had to pick up her toys again and bedtime was a thing of the past.

But all good things must come to an end and one night she was banished to The Gatekeeper's Home for Wayward Poltergeists.

Until Khufu's release program kicked in. When this little imp was advised she could visit 'Uncle Khufu's House of Games' her warped mind reeled with possibilities. So much anger, so little time.

Helin especially enjoys the roulette table because her head can spin in time with the wheel.

## Origin

Aside from being a poltergeist, which is a kind of noisy ghost, Hellin is not based on any real life myth or legend whatsoever and therefore is a completely original character.

## Appearance

### *The Harbingers*

In *The Harbingers*, Hellin's playing piece is represented by a building block with the letter H on its sides. Her character card shows her to resemble a broken baby doll with a hole in her head, which she most likely possesses to enable her to have a physical form of some sort.

### *The Gatekeeper*

In The DVD reboot, Hellin's playing piece is represented by a purple pile of blocks, some of which have the letter H or skulls on them. Her character card again shows her to resemble a broken baby doll with a hole in her head, this time clutching a smaller ragdoll in one of her arms.

### *30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition*

The visual design of Hellin's playing piece as seen in the Deluxe edition of the anniversary rerelease once again depicts her as a doll, with her head (which now has red hair) and arms passing through the tombstone to emphasize her being a ghost.

## Personality

Since no Hellin expansion was made, information on her personality is limited and open to speculation. The game's creators went on record in interviews as wanting to keep her backstory intentionally vague to create a sense of fear in the unknown. Based on what has been officially divulged, she seems to exist in a perpetual state of anger, having been born angry and dying angry.

## Trivia

* Hellin is the only player character to keep the same character colour in the transition between the original era and *The Harbingers*. Always staying purple.
