Manson Moss

"Hey, is this chair flammable? I want to make smores!"

## Appearances

### Appearances

Object Ward (Protagonist) Object Wank (Protagonist) The Hole of Love (Main character)

Manson Moss is the protagonist of *Object Ward* and *Object Wank* and a love interest in *The Hole of Love*. He suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, causing him to hallucinate everyone with inanimate objects for heads.

### Appearance

Manson has shoulder-length brown hair and purple baggy eyes. He wears a torn Clark County's sweat suit. While his Object Head is not typically depicted in-game, Manson sees himself with a rubber duck head in reflections.

A female genderbent version of himself is the protagonist of *Lesbian Ward*, named Madeline Moss.

### Personality

Manson is a deeply troubled man, paranoid about the bizarre events surrounding him. He is obsessed with conspiracy theories, flippant, greedy, and selfish. He is also dangerous clever, always thinking of zany schemes to escape the Ward. Though he puts on a goofy, tough-guy exterior, he is miserable with his new environment. In addition, Manson is desperate for attention and will do bizarre stunts such as cross-dressing or instigating others. On a whim he will construct elaborate (often contradictory) backstories for himself, the aliens, and his hallucinations, making Manson an **unreliable narrator**.

Manson is openly bisexual, as Acevedo describes, "quite flagrant towards anyone with a pulse". It is easy to seduce and manipulate the gullible protagonist, as long as one supports his insane delusions.

### History

Not much is currently known about Manson's past, though he was homeless for some years before the onset of the Object Headed hallucinations. In a panicked state, he attacked an Object Head, causing him to be arrested, declared not guilty by reason of insanity, and sentenced to Clark County Psych Ward.

Manson has previously been in and out of juvenile detention and county jail almost on a weekly basis for disturbing the public peace, petty theft, breaking and entering, possession of narcotics, vandalism, disorderly conduct, and public indecency, to name a few. The Judge compared Manson's repeated crimes to "using the legal code restrictions as a to-do list".

## Story

### Object Ward Demo

The story starts with his assault, trial, and eventual relocation to Clark County. Upon waking, he panics due to seeing the characters Acevedo and Priscilla with Object Heads. Once calmed down, Priscilla gives Manson a tour, introducing him to the various love interests. Towards the end of the tour, he gains a headache initiated by voices in his head which manifest into three women that refuse to leave his room. He beats them in a fight and realizes they were complete hallucinations, sending him into an identity crisis over which met characters were real or not. As he reflects upon his day, he wonders how he could escape the Ward and the Object Headed characters.

### Object Wank

As soon as the game begins, Manson shames players for inquiring about sex toy object heads, instead of more valuable questions. Manson becomes reluctantly intimate with Dildo and Fleshlight. Afterwards he angrily declares the game as non-canon.

### The Hole of Love

Manson becomes infatuated with Sharpay, a literal pencil sharpener. His "rationality" must be kept stable during the story otherwise he "consummates" with Sharpay, castrating himself. Depending on the choices made, Manson can successfully consummate with Sharpay, be strangled by Acevedo, return to lucidity, cuckhold Sharpay by being seduced by Acevedo, or cuckhold Acevedo by being seduced away by Kent.

## Relationships

#### Antonio Acevedo

Acevedo cares for him deeply though Manson is flippant towards his psychiatrist, often insulting Acevedo's advice and pill bottle head. In the "main" ending of *The Hole of Love*, the two apologize for their actions and makeup, though Acevedo rejects Manson's advances. Acevedo will be a romanceable character in *Object Ward*.

#### Dorothy Smith

Upon meeting Dorothy, he was initially hostile to her. He interrogated and defenestrated her. Regardless, she will be a romanceable character in *Object Ward*. Their relationship has since improved in *The Hole of Love*, though Manson says she's too clingy.

#### Furniture Women

The Furniture Women claim to be Manson's friends and allies. Manson is hostile towards them, but their relationship with him has since improved during *The Hole of Love*.

#### Jones Carvey

He will be a romanceable character in *Object Ward*. In Jones' bio, the patient is described as "Manson's only friend".

#### Kent Goldstein

He will be a romanceable character in *Object Ward*. In *The Hole of Love*, if the player finishes the game with 0% stress and 100% rationality, Kent appears, dressed as Palpatine. He steals Manson away and they marry with plans to consummate soon, to Acevedo's horror.

#### Marcellus

Not much is known about his relationship with Manson but the opening video shows the two fighting.

#### Priscilla Harbinger

She will be a romanceable character in *Object Ward*.

#### Randal Anderson

He will be a romanceable character in *Object Ward*.

#### Sharpay Rauser

Sharpay was Manson's fiancée. The two were absolutely smitten with each other, though Sharpay was deeply posessive of Manson and attempted to isolate him from Acevedo. She convinced Manson she was a real human and that they would have many children together. When she died, Manson was heartbroken.
