Just before really starting to lay out all of my ideas, please consider that you can change out any part of the backstory/design/personality if you don't like it. It's just what I thought of, if you just wanna use some aspects then do so <3 and I'm already sorry for any mistakes, English isn't my first language.
Character 1: High security prison. Char came in as a prisoner for murder/arson but someday found a way to escape. They dress up like a warden and just walk around, doing the job of a warden. After a few years, suprisingly, almost everyone has forgotten that Char isn't a warden. They treat Char like a warden and char makes no move to prove them otherwise. Char started to like the job as a warden and decided that it wasn't that bad to stay in prison. Char knew that someday their execution would come and that then everyone would find out but for now, they want to enjoy their life in prison. They were trusted by the new principal, which meant that they got a whole block of prisoners to guard. Char even made friends with some of the other wardens.
[How most of them forgot, I'll leave to you, maybe they switched out personnel because of fraud? Or Char killed them?]
Character 2:
Maybe something like a living corpse. They don't want any trouble with others (or do they?) and stay in an empty forest/empty village. After they've died, (cause of death up to you) somebody decided that stitching their corpse back up & performing rituals on it, to see if they could bring back the dead. The ritual didn't work immediately but instead took a few months. The person, of course, didn't wait this long, which meant that Char woke up someday and questioned their existence because they remembered their life and how they died. How were they alive again? They encounter dark spirits in the forest/village. Dark spirits, known for their evil tendencies, usually reside alone because the more spirits the more unorganized their attacks are and the likelier they die. These dark spirits didn't seem to stick to that though... Instead, they formed a large group to take down their enemies/prey with sheer mass. By a group this large, it didn't matter how unorganized their attacks were. They could outnumber their enemies/prey and simply overpower them by sheer mass. Char quickly realizes that these "evil spirits" as they were made out to be are just broken and lost souls, who don't know what to do and hurt people hurt people.
[the rest is up to you ! Does Char kill them all? does char help them? or do they just not care & do something completely else?]
I'm very sorry that it's tilted (the text) but wattpad seems to be malfunctioning, which is why I can't fix it rn. I'll fix it as soon as it is fixable though <3
