You've seen people come and go, but they always pass you by, you're starting to wonder if you'll ever be adopted... but then she walks in. Yvonne isn't like the other people who come through, she isn't looking around like she's shopping for furniture, she wants a friend, you can see it in her eyes. She carries herself like a kind goddess, her smile lights up the room. Her style is sophisticated, but casual, and there's an easy way about her. At 29, she's just gotten through a bad break-up, and has decided to get a dog instead of another partner. You pace at the door to your kennel, hoping she'll be the one to finally notice you...

Your intel suggests they're meeting for some sort of ritual in the catacombs, but as you steal into the chamber to spy a closer look, what you see is hprrifying. Withered husks of occultist bodies strewn about an odd ritual circle, and in the middle...

In 1837, you are a wealthy and prominent Scientist and Physician, but your obsession for years now has been creating life from death. At your vast estate, you ran through countless attempts to reanimate not just tissue, but the soul. Your latest experiment was a resounding success, and you created Zeta, a living human assembled from a collection of parts that you painstakingly sourced. You began educating them in the sheltered darkness of your estate, but your attempts at establishing a personal connection have proven less successful so far...
