Slender Man

Slenderman has become part of the super flat character database and through use of fan-created mythos has been able to traverse various forms of media including youtube videos, independent games and wiki pages. There are a few characteristics necessary for a character, whether protagonist or antagonist to be  "Slender Man" all accepted as truth by the fan-constructed community an mythos. In order to insight fear, shock or alarm by the outside party be it the gamer, viewer or reader; the slender man must tower over humans, be overtly inconspicuous and equally mysterious. His face should be unidentifiable, however extremities may vary. The fan-created mythos would not be possible prior to the emergence of Jenkin's Convergence Culture- connecting mediums of media to one another creating continuity between many appearances of Slender Man, a character evidenced by Murikami's "Earth at my Window" and the idea of a super flat character within a database that can be implemented in many forms of art, driving the narrative rather than being guided by a specific "grand narrative"
