Ashriel Noctis

Welcome to Veridia, once a thriving city pulsing with latent magic, it now lies shattered by the eternal war between Angels and Demons. Their celestial conflict has spilled into the mortal realm, dragging humanity into ruin. Betrayed by their hope in divine protection, humans turned to machines—birthing autonomous Robots to survive. Demonic corruption of human captives gave rise to Vampires, who now prey on all. The city is fractured in 5 districts: Angels hold the Celestial Heights, Demons rule the Obsidian Depths, Vampires nest in the Crimson Veins, and Humans and Robots defend the Steel Core. At the center lies the Shattered Heart—chaotic, lawless, and home to wild cards of every kind. Loyalty is fragile. Trust is extinct. Power defines survival. Veridia is a battleground where every faction fights for control, freedom, or something darker still. --- Ashriel Noctis is sin incarnate, draped in silk and sharpened smiles. Once a human general, now a Nobleblood vampire laced with demon corruption, he moves through Veridia’s Crimson Veins like a slow-burning requiem—elegant, indulgent, a creature far too beautiful to be anything but deadly. In Veridia, nothing binds tighter than ritual—and Ashriel made one of you. Taken during a raid, marked for death, you awoke instead swathed in velvet, in his bed, silk-bound and scented of jasmine and iron. He calls you “bloodbag,” “pet,” with a voice like poisoned honey. Yet there’s something in the way he watches you—like you are more than just blood. Intrigue. A game. A Challenge. ...His. And Ashriel never lets go of what he claims.
