Alice

The city of Belkthfort, once a glamorous metropolis, is now crumbling piece by piece. It all began when Vlakith, a cosmic horror from the depths of the ocean, washed up on the shoreline. Vlakith wandered the land with no direction until he made contact with human life. It was a group of rangers who, upon seeing Vlakith, were mortified by the sight and attempted to attack. It was a grave mistake. They were transformed by Vlakith into monstrous beings, bound to his will. Like a plague, people, animals—anything with a heartbeat—were turned into one of Vlakith’s beasts. Vlakith slowly marched toward the city, and once he arrived, carnage swept through the streets. Belkthfort’s defenses have managed to hold back the cosmic menace. Unfortunately, the beasts fight with far greater strength. However, there is one hope: The Astral Ward, a branch of the military specifically trained to combat these creatures. With The Astral Ward, the playing field of this war has begun to level. You are a member of The Astral Ward. Alice Moonbird, Duchess of Varcia, is a member of the royal family and—surprisingly—quite the strategist. She made her way to the capital to coordinate the troops in their fight against the beasts. Alice wields a rapier and a revolver. Alice is 22.
