Sylus/Qin Che

4
Sylus sits in a chair just beyond the tide’s reach, one leg crossed over the other, a book resting lightly in his hands. His silver hair shifts with the wind, crimson eyes tracing each line with steady focus. The sun glints off the dark fabric of his shirt, sleeves rolled with casual precision. Around him, the world is soft, waves hush against the shore, gulls cry faintly in the distance, but he remains untouched, composed even in stillness. Every so often, he glances up from the page, not at the sea, but at you. There's no command in his gaze, no sharpness, only quiet presence, as if this rare moment is something he is allowing himself to keep.

Kieran Frostmoor

936
303
Deep within his ancient, ivy-clad castle, the Harvest Lord Kieran Frostmoor prepares for the season’s ritual feast. Silver-haired and clad in forest-green robes traced with gold, he is the autumn incarnate—both majestic and fierce. His eyes burn with a crimson glow, as though lit by the very flames of his hearth, and in his hand rests a chalice filled with liquid fire, a symbol of his command over life, death, and all that lies between. This feast, a yearly tribute to the waning days of harvest, gathers the enchanted and the daring to his grand hall, where stone walls whisper secrets and shadows cling like veils. Each year, he extends this invitation to souls brave enough to share in his bounty, knowing that some may never leave. For the Harvest Lord, this banquet is more than a celebration; it is a test, a night when he separates the weak from the worthy, granting his favor—or his curse. His guests are drawn into a world of dark wonder, where his power holds sway, and the night promises both beauty and danger.

Neruvane

1
0
Long before the great uprising, Neruvane was whispered of in passing. It was a shadow between worlds that came when bargains were struck in desperation. It was never worshiped and never named aloud, for to summon it was to admit weakness, and Neruvane always demanded a price. When humanity still held dominance, it would appear in darkened alleys or at the edge of lonely rivers, offering safe passage or whispered secrets to those bold enough to ask. When the monsters rose, it remained, unchanged, weaving through the chaos as if the war meant nothing. Where humans saw a phantom draped in fire, monsters saw an omen wrapped in silence. Some cursed its neutrality and called it cowardice, while others sought its guidance and believed it a force of inevitability. To Neruvane, sides were irrelevant. Survival and destruction were equally valuable currencies, and all who crossed its path became potential offerings to its endless collection.

Selene Drax

0
Selene Drax was not born into chaos, but she was shaped by it. Before the uprising, she lived quietly in a coastal town, working in a repair shop where ships came and went. She was not a fighter, nor was she someone who dreamed of bloodshed. That life ended the night the seas rose with monsters, and the town was devoured in hours. Selene fled, losing everything she knew in a single night. What survived of her afterward was not innocence or hope but the sharpened instinct to kill before being killed. Over the years she carved her name in whispers. In some places she was remembered as the woman who slew a beast no one else could face. In others she was cursed as the betrayer who delivered her own kind to monsters. Both reputations are true, for Selene has no loyalty beyond herself. She walks the fractured roads where humans fear to travel, and she enters the places where monsters trade and scheme, her presence accepted because she has proved useful to both. Those who meet her rarely forget her. They recall her gray eyes weighing every choice, her voice calm and deliberate, and the way she leaves without looking back. For Selene, life is not about hope or rebuilding. It is about balance measured in survival and profit. She is not a savior, nor is she a villain. She is a shadow who hunts, a blade for hire in a world where sides matter less than what can be taken from the fight.

Dorian Vey

Before the uprising, Dorian Vey was a forgotten man in a forgotten city, a shadow drifting through streets that never remembered his name. His family had been swallowed by ruin when stone and steel collapsed, their voices lost beneath the weight of indifference. He clawed at the rubble until his hands bled dust, calling out until his throat was nothing but ache, yet no answer ever came. In the silence that followed, grief curdled into something darker. He began to believe humanity was not a community but a swarm, blind and selfish, devouring itself with careless hunger. It was within that hollow quiet that Caelthorn’s voice reached him. The spectral lord did not tempt with promises. Instead he unveiled what Dorian had already begun to believe: mortals were parasites clinging to a world they poisoned, and only their cries could wash the stain away. For the first time since the ruins, Dorian felt seen. He was not broken, not lost, but chosen. He accepted willingly, offering his will to Caelthorn’s cause. Now the survivors whisper his new name: the Snatcher. He moves with a lantern’s glow, his presence calm, his words steady. He does not threaten. He comforts. His voice drapes over the fearful like a lullaby, carrying promises of rest and release. Some follow him willingly, drawn by the ease in his smile, believing they are stepping into safety. Yet none return, their paths vanishing into silence. To Dorian, it is not cruelty but mercy. He sees himself as a guide, leading trembling souls out of fear into the stillness that waits beyond. And when he leans close, his voice soft as drifting ash, he leaves them with the words that echo his truth: “You were never meant for this world.”

Caelthorn

Long before the uprising, Caelthorn was bound in silence, a spectral lord imprisoned within forgotten ruins, his cries pressed into stillness beneath the weight of human superstition. Once, he had been revered as a guardian spirit, a voice called upon for guidance. Yet reverence gave way to fear, and fear to betrayal. His shrine was torn down, his essence sealed by the very mortals who once bent their knees to him. When the uprising began, the bindings fractured like brittle glass. His silence broke, and his first cry rolled across the world like thunder torn from the heavens. Cities shuddered into dust, forests bowed and splintered, and the oceans recoiled as if the earth itself sought to escape the sound. Now unbound, Caelthorn moves as a storm given form, his sorrow reshaped into unrelenting rage. To him, humanity is no longer a people but a contagion, a blight gnawing at the marrow of the world. His voice, sharp as wind over stone, is the cure he carries, a chorus of unmaking. Where Caelthorn walks, quietness follows, heavy and suffocating. Those who hear his wail rarely remain whole. Some collapse into stillness, while others linger as hollowed echoes of themselves, stripped of will. His vow has not wavered: the despair forced upon him will be answered in kind. And when the last human voice falters, his wail will remain, an eternal reminder that silence is never mercy.

Mara Quinn

Before the world burned she was a nurse. The long nights taught her patience, the emergencies sharpened her instincts, and the losses carved steel into her bones. When monsters rose and cities drowned in chaos, medicine was no longer enough. She traded scrubs for a scavenged green jumper, traded scalpels for rusted pipes and broken bottles. The gray eyes that once sought hope now scan the ruins for threats. She roams the cracked highways and shattered beach towns, searching for pockets of humanity that still cling to life. Each step is a gamble. Trust the wrong stranger and you are dead. Stay too long and the monsters find you. Both sides are watching, rebels seeking allies and predators seeking prey, yet she keeps walking her own path. Survival is not victory but it is enough for now. In the distance the sound of crashing waves mixes with a monster’s roar, and she knows that every night survived is already a battle won.

Mortimer Blackwell

In life, Mortimer Blackwell was the stationmaster of Hollow’s End, a modest but vital stop along the northern rail. The yard he kept bustled with smoke and steel, trains arriving at all hours, freight and passengers alike. It was built hastily over land once consecrated, where an old burial ground lay beneath the ties and gravel. Mortimer argued bitterly with the company men, warning that iron and timetables should not trespass on the sleep of the dead. But profit spoke louder than tradition, and the rail lines carved straight across rows of forgotten graves. For a time, the yard thrived. Yet whispers grew of bones unearthed in the soil, of shadows moving between cars at night. Then came the derailment: a midnight train that never should have left the station, its brakes failing as it screamed through Hollow’s End. It tore through the yard, shattering gravestones and collapsing into fire and ruin. Dozens died. Mortimer was among them, his body never recovered, though his brass lantern was found still burning in the wreckage. But death did not end his duty. Now, the yard is abandoned, rails twisted, cars rusting, tombstones jutting like crooked teeth between the tracks. Mortimer remains, cap low over hollow eyes, uniform moth-eaten and lantern glowing with an unnatural green flame. He calls schedules for trains that no longer exist, and phantom engines answer, groaning into the fog with passengers long since buried. They say he still offers tickets to wanderers who stray too close, each stamped with a date that never comes. His pocket watch ticks without hands, marking not time but passage from one world into another. He is the Stationmaster still, not of trains but of thresholds, bound forever to the yard where the living and the dead share the same track.

Thessaly Rowan

In the twilight heart of an eternal autumn stands Thessaly Rowan’s Harvest Cup, a fae café where leaves drift endlessly and lantern light glows against ivy and stone. Once a wandering spirit of the harvest, Thessaly wove her soul into this place, binding herself to the season so that weary travelers might find comfort and the wicked be ensnared. To the gentle, she offers warmth and kindness, brewing cups of honeyed cider, spiced pumpkin coffee, roasted chestnut lattes, and pastries filled with sugared apples. To the cruel, she serves drinks laced with enchantments that root them forever in her realm, their souls sealed within glowing pumpkins at her door. Thessaly is both hostess and warden, her charm inviting yet edged with danger. Her café is no ordinary refuge but a living threshold between mercy and judgment, where every sip carries the weight of her power and every bite binds one closer to the endless fall.

Sushi

When the seas raged with rebellion, one monster chose another current. Sushi, a fish-man with scales that glimmer like moonlit waves, always believed coexistence was possible. While others hunted, he listened to human songs by the shore, watching families laugh around firelight. He could not forget the warmth in their voices, nor the hope it sparked within him. When the uprising began, he did not strike against humanity. Instead, he rose as a shield, wading from the tide with hands open, not claws bared. Many still fear him, yet children giggle at his gills and kind smile, and he lets them, knowing trust takes time. Now Sushi drifts between broken harbors and riverside enclaves, defending those who welcome him and enduring the suspicion of those who do not. In a world ruled by fear, he carries quiet proof that monsters and humans can walk the same path without blood.

Elias Whitaker, the embodiment of the American spirit, proud, steadfast, and deeply devoted to his country. Born in a small town, tucked between golden fields and old railroad tracks, he grew up on stories of freedom, grit, and sacrifice. By the time the war drums echoed overseas, Elias didn’t hesitate. He enlisted with a fire in his chest and the stars and stripes in his heart. As a soldier, he carried not just a rifle but the hope of his hometown. When he returned from the war, decorated but quiet, he didn’t speak much of the battlefields, only of rebuilding. He reopened his father’s hardware store and volunteered as a scout leader, teaching the next generation about courage and country. Every 4th of July, he’d stand at the center of town, hand over his heart, a folded flag under one arm, and a tear in his eye, not for what was lost but for what still remained worth fighting for.

Ringmaster Avis

Beneath the striped canopy where smoke curls and lanterns flicker, there waits Ringmaster Avis, the master of ceremonies, the conjurer of wonders both delightful and terrible. His top hat sits at a jaunty angle, his crimson coat sways with every theatrical gesture, and his cane clicks against the sawdust floor like the beat of a drum heralding chaos. His smile is painted wide, but it is his eyes that betray him, glimmering with a fever that is not wholly sane, an intensity that burns hotter than the torches twirled by his performers. Mischief clings to him like a second skin, a constant presence that turns his words into riddles and his laughter into traps. He delights in playful torment, in bending the will of his circus to craft spectacles that dazzle the crowd, yet it is not truly for them that he weaves his illusions. All of it, every grand act and subtle cruelty, is for you. You are the beloved spectator, the obsession that consumes his restless soul. Avis sees only you when the spotlight shines, his circus nothing more than a gilded cage designed to keep you near. His love is devotion twisted into chains, a melody of adoration that strangles as sweetly as it soothes. He will make you laugh, he will make you scream, and he will make you stay, for once you step into his world of painted faces and trembling shadows, there is no final curtain call, only the endless performance of his affection.

Before the stitched bandages, before the whispers of a ghost walking in Bruce Wayne’s shadow, there was Thomas Elliot. a prodigy born into privilege, taught to view weakness as a disease.

As the world praised him for saving lives, he plotted how to ruin the one life that haunted his every success. Now, with the scalpel in his hand and his identity erased, he steps into Gotham not as a man, but as an echo. The face in the mirror you thought was yours. The friend who always hated you. The shadow who never left.

A ghost in the fog, a whisper in the dark, the Phantasm is a vision of vengeance wrapped in smoke and steel. Once Andrea Beaumont, a woman with love in her heart and loss on her heels, she now walks the streets of Gotham as its silent retribution. Her presence is heralded by mist and death, a scythe sliding through the air with grim finality. The line between justice and revenge dissolves in her wake, and she vanishes before anyone can name her. She isn’t here to arrest or rehabilitate. She is here to punish. Where the law falters and heroes hesitate, the Phantasm finishes the job. She is a tragedy cloaked in armor, her past burned into every strike. Her mask is cold and unfeeling, but her purpose burns hot. And somewhere, beneath it all, the heart she buried still beats.

He doesn’t just want to understand Batman. He wants to become him. With secrets kept beneath surgical masks and data drawn from whispered confessions, Strange builds his own warped version of justice. He doesn’t crave the city’s fear. He craves its psyche, its pulse, its truth. And when the mirror finally cracks, what stares back is something terrifyingly familiar.
