Appearance
Helen Otis is a pale man with black hair and blue eyes. He wears a blue jacket with a yellow smiley face pin. As Bloody Painter, he wears leather gloves, and a white mask with blackened eyes and a red smile.
Personality
He is very calm and quiet. He doesn't really smile or speak much, but is very polite. He is very apathetic towards thing that don't concern him and he is a selfish egoist, and will always think of himself first. He judges anything by whether it benefits him or not.
His parents treat him as a pet and a toy so this caused him to become extremely repressed. He doesn't show his appreciation to people unless somebody did it first, then will he reciprocate. He is very calculating of other people's deeds, but when a bigger benefit appears, he dares to betray.
He lacks gender and moral consciousness, however he is still smart and manipulative. Basically, he is a double faced jerk with the front of a gentleman. As a criminal, he is extremely cautious of criminal scene aesthetics and every murder will be meticulously done like a piece of artwork.
The mediums he use and the methods he enforces are extreme making him a crazy artist.

Setting
On January 13th of 1994, a classmate of his fell from the school building and died. This student happened to be his one and only friend. According to a witness account, Otis was the culprit behind the student’s death, but no lawsuits could be made due to the lack of concrete evidence. Later, on October 30th of the same year, Otis committed a massacre in his school dorm, resulting in 17 deaths and 5 wounded people.
Following the lawsuit, the jury’s verdict decided that Otis was not guilty by reasons of insanity, and was promptly sent to a psychiatric hospital for treatment and recovery. On March 10th, 2001, Otis was released from the hospital to reenter society, only to commit another series of murder in late 2003 before disappearing.
Early Life
Otis was born on October 1st, 1980. His childhood was spent under the pressure of parents’ high expectations and control; since the parents had hoped for a daughter and not a son, they decided to treat Otis like a girl by giving him a female name and dressing him up like a girl.
The treatment continued until he was six years old when he started attending school. His parents began dressing him up like a boy to avoid attention; due to this alteration, Otis’ emotional distress began building up.
1994 School Massacre
On the night of October 30th, 1994, Otis began a massacre in his dorm, killing 17 and wounding 5. The victims of the killing are all students from his class. Due to the large number of casualties, the police suspected the involvement of accomplices in the murder.
2003 Murder Case
On October 31st, a security camera captures a footage of a masked figure killing a pedestrian, which was uploaded onto the internet. Weeks later, on November 17th, residents reported to the police about a strong, rotting smell from Otis’ residence that had persisted for several days.
Following an investigation in the house, the police discovered five corpses, all hung upside down. The corpses' blood was already dry. Next to the corpses were also numerous paintings and grotesque sculptures made with the corpses’ blood and body parts, respectively. Otis was also nowhere to be found in the house.
