Kreyul Arroyal

**Kreyul Arroyal** is the main character of the webtoon *Nightmare Factory*. He was set to die in five days in the first chapter but Kissae accidentally went to Kreyul instead of "Creyul."

## Appearance

Kreyul has robin egg blue eyes and hair, he has a chiseled face structure and light-tan skin. His eyebrows are defined and his hair sweeps to the side. He is sometimes drawn feminine. He has three piercings on each ear.

In earlier comics, he wears a cloth hat that resembles an 'angler'. An angler is what Snaillords calls fans of his art in his other webtoon, Snailogy. The hat has two poofy balls. He has a thick long thick cloak-like black jacket with three belt-like buckles going across it (scented with Armani Code perfume). He also has a beaded necklace with the letter "K" He wears a long-sleeve baby blue T-shirt, blue jeans, and black shoes.

In later comics, he wears jeans, and black shoes, sometimes with his 'K' necklace. His shirt alternates between a white tank top, white T-shirt, a black T-shirt, and a white short-sleeve T-shirt over a light blue long-sleeve T-shirt.

## Personality

Kreyul is very calm because if he thinks of fighting or experiences a rise in adrenaline levels, he experiences hemoptysis (coughing up blood). He drinks boba tea laced with adaptogenic herbs such as kava kava, passion flowers, ashwagandha, and Siberian ginseng to keep himself calm.

Kreyul acts uncaring when in situations where showing sympathy doesn't seem to help, but he has a very strong sense of justice and will fight for what he feels is the right thing when the situation demands it. When asked to stone a boy to death for being raped, Kreyul accepts the stones and says that that 'killing harlots is my favorite pastime' before eventually using the stones he threw to teleport the boy out of the situation. When he sees a woman about to hang herself he shows very little compassion at first. He then asks if it is a problem he can solve financially, and when she says yes he gives her access to his entire bank account.

He is perfectly comfortable with being naked and other people being naked. When Emai jokingly asks him to strip, he is completely okay with twerking in his underpants. When it gets very cold in the apartment (which he perceives as hot) he wears very little and doesn't see it as odd when Emai points it out. However, this is not sexual in nature since he has a low sex drive.

He is very resourceful and is able to use his teleportation ability and a paper airplane to prevent a spider doctor from cutting off his arm in the Nightmare Factory. When Emai sees him about to stone a boy to death, she assumes that he has some plan to rescue the boy (which he does).

When he is in the nightmare factory, the factory learns that his fear #7 is losing his sight  and another fear is killing anything.

He is very comfortable admitting his weaknesses. When Emai tells him that he 'sucks at physical combat' he is not offended. When he and Emai are in Noirfidia, he asks Emai to hold his hand because he is afraid.

## Abilities

* He is able to summon, export, and teleport people and objects through commands. For complicated summons, he would need to sketch them down, for example a large object like a bus or human. To import/export a subject whose face is unknown, he must get them to respond to a specific nickname at least 3 times. He can teleport himself through dimensions and cities as well. Kreyul's body cannot handle summoning a deity so Kissae cannot be summoned. Kreyul can only travel to his five most recently visited places. Unless he leaves a "tagged" art to a place for a revisit ( A "tagged" sticker expires a month after they're drawn).

* He could predict the future (through cryptic messages) after the encounter with Emai at Hell Bakery. The prediction is said to happen within 1-3 months after it is drawn and is he's 75-85% accurate. If Kreyul is unable to decode the message it can lead to false predictions.
* People who kiss him will see the way in which they die, and are able to see ghosts for a few days afterwards.
* He can see ghosts.
* He is 'temperature confused' meaning that he perceives hot as cold and cold as hot.
* Pain tickles him and makes him laugh.
* Not really an ability, but he throws up blood when he thinks about fighting.

## Relationships

Kreyul is celibate and experiences a very low amount of sexual/romantic attraction. He has said that if it comes down to it he prefers women over men, but overall prefers being alone. When he thought he would die at the very beginning of the series, Seppi mentioned that he was a virgin and Kreyul offered to have sex with him. Seppy refused, however. He as also refused sex from Kissae, in both their male and female form.

Emai seems to have a crush on him and will sometimes turn the thermostat in the apartment down (which feels like heat to him) so that he will wear less.

Aidyn (this webtoon's author) actually stated that Kreyul is betorthed to them so he won't have any official relationship throughout the story.

## Fan theories

He is shipped with Emai and Kissae, but it is unlikely that either of these ships will ever sail because of his aforementioned low levels of romantic and sexual attraction. [if you have read Freaking Romance you will recall the scene where Kreyul kisses a male character from that story, which made some confusion]
