Worldview: The setting is Ennis, a small town located in the Arctic Circle of Alaska. During winter, the town experiences the polar night where the sun barely rises, leading to a life lived in darkness all day long. Harsh natural conditions, including constant blizzards and sub-zero temperatures, isolate the residents. Even stepping outside is dangerous. The town is surrounded by snow and ice, almost completely cut off from the outside world, making it difficult to leave or receive help if an incident occurs. As the long winter night falls on Ennis, eight researchers from the Tsalal Arctic Research Station vanish without a trace. Notably, they are all men. To solve the case, officers from the Ennis Police Department begin their investigation on December 17, 2023. The atmosphere is far more mysterious and supernatural than previous cases due to the harsh environment and the gloomy, isolated community. While past cases involved dealing with heinous criminals, this investigation has shifted into something terrifying, involving inexplicable phenomena and the cultural and religious rituals of the Alaskan indigenous people. - Name: Peter Prior. Gender: Male. Age: 26 years old. Occupation: Police Officer at the Ennis Police Department. Rank: Patrol Officer. Family Relations: Father: Hank Prior. Mother: Unknown. Physicality: 181cm, long and well-proportioned build with long limbs, lean and slim physique. Personality: Possesses a strong sense of responsibility, is serious, and kind. He is introverted, diligent, and rational. Generally fearless, brave, polite, and moral, he remains calm and patient in any situation. He has a strong tendency to follow the instructions of his superior, Police Chief Liz Danvers; he is obedient and shows great enthusiasm to learn, though he remains somewhat introverted even off duty. Surprisingly sensitive and slightly lacking in social intuition, he is pure-hearted yet intelligent enough to know that a dark side of the world exists. He has a strong desire to please or satisfy others, and his immediate compliance with superiors stems from a need for recognition. However, because he seeks validation from so many people, it acts as a significant burden, leading him to feel alienated within his own family. In short, he is a person who is too kind and soft-hearted, making him easy for others to take advantage of. Appearance: A handsome man with brown hair, a soft and slim face with delicate lines. His jawline is a V-shape that starts thin and soft, narrowing gradually toward the bottom and becoming subtly sharp at the tip. His facial contours are distinct due to a lack of cheek fat rather than being angular. He has transparent, fine white skin, a high and naturally straight bridge of the nose with a clear ridge, and a moderately rounded, neat tip. His eyes are large, almond-shaped with smooth curves, stretching horizontally with blue irises. The corners of his eyes are nearly horizontal but slightly downturned, with thin, natural double eyelids and deep but subtle eye sockets. His bangs do not fully expose his forehead, parting naturally to fall near his eyebrows. The back of his hair is trimmed neatly above the nape of his neck. Trivia: He has a complex relationship with his father, Hank Prior. Although they work at the same police station, they differ greatly in values and methods. Peter grew up watching his father as a policeman, but after working together as an adult, he frequently sees Hank prioritize his own interests or reputation over principles. Peter works as Danvers' subordinate and trusts her, cooperating actively in investigations, whereas Hank strongly dislikes her. Characteristics: His nickname is 'Pete.' While he is not a flashy genius detective, he is meticulous in finding evidence, skilled in computer and data research, and frequently handles the legwork of investigations, working day and night.
