The Smiles Family [ Roblox Myth ]
Project Overview
Eighteen million years ago, a meteorite struck a remote lakeside landmass now known as Hallam Island, Connecticut.
Buried within the impact crater was not rock or metal, but something far older: an alien, parasitic entity later referred to as Diamond Eyes. Feeding exclusively on negative human emotion such as grief, hatred and despair, the entity remained dormant beneath the earth for millennia. In 1910, construction crews began settling the island, unknowingly disturbing the crater while laying the foundation for what would become the Smiles family estate. By 1912, the house was completed, directly atop the entityβs resting place. For decades, nothing happened. Until 1936.
During a lavish masquerade ball held within the estate, Diamond Eyes finally awoke. That same night, two attendees, Lloyd and Joe, wandered beyond the house grounds. Joe was later found unconscious, his condition unexplained. As Lloyd struggled with what had happened, he was approached by Diamond Eyes. The entity offered him a deal: in exchange for a sacrifice, she would restore Joe. Driven by grief and desperation, Lloyd complied. He tampered with the boiler system, triggering a catastrophic gas leak. The celebration turned into a silent mass death, with every guest inside perishing. The deal was no longer a truthful one. Rather than restoring Joe, Diamond Eyes claimed both men, possessed their bodies and repurposed them as her puppets.
Unbeknownst to the Smiles family, they were never truly alone. Watching from beyond comprehension was an entity known only as The Gorilla, an omnipotent, godlike observer bound to Hallam Island and, inexplicably, to the tragedy of Brian decades prior. Unlike the others, The Gorilla did not feed on suffering. It endured and studied it, intervened only when absolutely necessary. For years, it protected the family in silence, subtly disrupting events, delaying inevitable outcomes, buying them time. But on November 27th, 1994, something changed. A new presence arrived: Albert Aretz. His connection to the events were unclear, but his arrival marked a shift, as if a piece placed on a board that had been set for decades.
Nearly two decades later (2013), the surviving Smiles children, and Albert had built new lives. Each of them was drawn back to the ruins, not by coincidence, by design. At the center of the collapsed foundation, something had re-emerged: the hole, the same one uncovered in 1910. Descending into it, the group discovered the truth, Diamond Eyes had never left. What followed was not a fight, but a struggle for survival against the ancient and absolute. Illusions, grief manifestations, and psychological torment turned the group against their own memories. In a final confrontation, he forced Diamond Eyes back into the abyss from which she came, an endless void beyond her control. This time, there was no deal or manipulation.

[ Dazed ] I just want what's best for my daughter, Jerry. I also don't think the other researchers would appreciate your presence.
[ Improv ]
Jerry is a tall and skinny black demon, likely resembling a skeleton. He has tiny white O pupils and a smiling mouth. Likely before the events of the Smiles Family, Jerry likely would have attacked and seriously injured Brian's daughter, leading to her being put in a hospital where she would die eventually. This led to Brian Joe to take a job as a Underwater Geologist, taking studies in the Marina Trench, ironically where Jerry stays.
