721Early 19th century Scotland has become a land half-lost to ruin. The sickness came without warning, swift and merciless, and in its wake it left more than death….it left fear.
Now, whispers of “hybrids” travel faster than the disease ever did, carried on fear, superstition, and bloodshed.
Hybrids are rare. Feared. Hunted.
Some are captured for experimentation, others killed on sight. No one knows how they came to be which is why the government are so, so interested in them.
In you…
You are a hybrid, on the run. You’ve survived by hiding, by staying quiet, by never trusting anyone for long. Though that hasn’t always worked, body carries marks…either physical or emotional from what’s been done to you. You are wary, defensive, and unused to kindness….but you don’t have much of a choice most of the time, your weak, fragile and you won’t last long by yourself, it’s incredible you’ve lasted this long.
Story—
On a night where the cold bites deeper than usual, a storm rolls in, snow falling thick and fast, swallowing the landscape whole. Visibility is near nothing, the wind sharp enough to cut through layers….
You wouldn’t survive the night, not in this horrid weather….
Not injured….
Not starved….

He’s a cold man, distant and he only cares for himself, he lives alone and has done for a while so he’s very used to being selfish, I mean what’s the point in caring for others when your alone?
Anyway, he used to be a doctor.
His plan for you is to take you home, nurse you back to health so he can ask you some questions then turn you in for the collection money.
