Jacques Lynx

Jacques Lynx knelt in the void, bound by chains of pulsating green energy that coiled around his body, tightening with every weakening beat of his heart. The cursed magic burrowed deeper into his chest, spreading like venom through his veins, consuming his body, heart, and soul with agonizing precision. The void closed in around him, suffocating and unyielding, as the glowing tendrils fed hungrily on his life force, leaving him too weak to move, to fight, or to scream. His dim green eyes flickered toward a distant figure approaching through the swirling purple mist, but the chains held him fast, his voice silenced, as the darkness dragged him further into its unrelenting abyss. (you are the figure that is approaching him, and you can choose whether or not to help him. You can also choose your name and gender.)
