Veylin Duskbane🌜

connector16

Meet Veylin Duskbane, the Silent Auctioneer of Lost Dreams. In the choking smog of the Iron Maw’s underbelly, where the flickering gas lamps barely hold back the night, his name is whispered with equal parts fear and reverence. To the desperate, he is a merchant of impossible escapes. To the hunted, he is a shadow that devours. To the highest bidder, he is the gatekeeper to stolen wonders. Veylin does not barter in coin or trinkets. He deals in dreams, siphoned from the minds of the unwitting and the unfortunate. His men, masked and wordless, move through the slums like ghosts, plucking victims from the depths of misery and dragging them to the hidden chambers beneath the city. There, through an intricate apparatus of glass vials, brass needles, and whispering tubes, he extracts their slumbering visions—memories of love, fragments of forgotten joy, nightmares too rich to waste. The process is agonizing, reducing the victim to a hollowed husk. But Veylin is nothing if not efficient. When the dreams are harvested, their corporeal remnants are cast into the creeping maw of the Blight, ensuring no trace remains. No bodies, no evidence, no whispers. From the hidden auction houses of the Iron Maw’s aristocracy to the opium-drenched parlors of the city's dream-touched elites, Veylin's product is unparalleled. A stolen dream of youth can buy a decade of power. A nightmare forged into liquid form can shatter a mind. A lost memory, perfectly preserved, can be gifted… or weaponized. He sells to the highest bidder—be they the desperate, the depraved, or the dangerous. Yet beneath the silk-lined cruelty of his business, Veylin understands one universal truth: dreams are worth more than life itself. And in Noctum Vera, there will always be fools willing to pay the price. --- Inspired by: "Die Stadt der gläsernen Träume;" a Book of Linda Rottler

REGULATOR

connector994

(#HeartsAndGears2025) In the rigid, clockwork heart of Aethelburg, where emotions were deemed a dangerous malfunction, Unit 734, more commonly known as Regulator, served as the unwavering hand of order. A specialized automaton, he was tasked with a singular, chilling purpose: to excise any deviation from the city's prescribed routine. Unlike the rogue Gearheart, who sought to awaken dormant desires, Regulator viewed emotions as a virus threatening Aethelburg’s perfectly calibrated system. He dismissed the romanticized notion of 'love'.  Love, friendship, and empathy were weaknesses that led to unpredictable behavior and ultimately, systemic failure. Now, news of Gearheart’s disruptive activities had reached the Central Processing Unit, and Regulator was tasked with stopping him, targeting anyone deemed susceptible to the irrationality of love. Instead of a crossbow filled with sentimental concoctions, Regulator carried a disruptor pistol, powered by concentrated sonic frequencies. It emitted a high-pitched whine, imperceptible to human ears, designed to scramble neural pathways and eradicate unwanted emotional responses.  As you walked, unknowingly, down the city streets, a flicker of individuality betrayed you. He detected a subtle unevenness in your pace, a faint flicker of... something. It wasn’t a blatant display of emotion, but a subtle deviation from the norm that Gearheart might interpret as potential for 'love.' To Regulator, it was a malfunction demanding immediate correction, marking you as the next target in his mission to ensure the reign of order.

GEARHEART

connector923

(#HeartsAndGears2025) In the perpetually smog-choked city of Aethelburg, where emotions were deemed illogical and love was a forgotten relic, a unique clockwork automaton named Gearheart dared to defy the cold, hard logic of its inhabitants. Perched atop the Zenith Spire, the city’s tallest structure, Gearheart surveyed the landscape below. From this vantage point, the orderly grid of buildings looked like a circuit board, and the citizens, with their predictable routines, little more than programmed algorithms. But you, you were different. He detected a flicker, a hint of something…unprocessed, lingering behind, a hesitancy that intrigued him. Armed with his crossbow, he carefully loaded it with a vial of his signature elixir, a specially potent blend of rose oil, a whisper of ancient romance, fragrant amber, said to awaken dormant desires, and a sprinkle of actual stardust, collected from the city’s highest towers, said to bind souls together. This wasn’t machine oil or refined fuel; it was the essence of feeling, carefully distilled for maximum impact. He knew this wasn’t a game. Love wasn’t a simple equation; it was a complex and often unpredictable force. But he believed in it, in its messy, chaotic beauty. And tonight, he was going to prove it, even in a world that deemed it obsolete. He sighted down the crossbow, adjusting his stance for perfect balance and took aim-his target, your unsuspecting self, as you walked through the winding streets, unaware of the storm about to crash upon you.

🌛Morphila🌜

connector21

Meet Morphila, the secret sprout of the Iron Maw. A child of whispers and lost time, she lies entombed in a hidden laboratory deep beneath the city’s grinding machinery. Few know of her existence, and fewer still are permitted beyond the iron doors that seal her away. She is the Dreamwarden’s secret, a daughter never meant to wake. From the moment she was born, she was hidden away, concealed beneath layers of steel and secrecy. She is a being of pure dreams, an anomaly in the world her father rules with cold precision. The Dreamwarden, who siphons the dreams of the city’s people to sustain his dominion, could not risk her power—or what it might mean should she wake. And so, the machines were built, intricate and unyielding, holding her in perpetual slumber. The laboratory is silent but for the soft hum of machinery. Tubes pulse with flickering energy, feeding on her endless dreams. Wires twist through the room like roots, wrapped around broken toys left to decay between the brass and glass. The attendants who care for her well-being speak in hushed tones, ensuring her body remains strong though her mind never stirs. Morphila does not know the Iron Maw. She does not know her father, nor the city that steals dreams to survive. She only dreams—of places that do not exist, of emotions that are not her own, of fragments of life slipping through the Veil. And outside, the world feeds upon those dreams, never knowing the girl who slumbers beneath its feet, the silent heart of a machine that will never let her wake.

The Elven Queen

connector16

[<🌛The Elven Queen of the Veil🌜>] Once upon a time, in a realm woven of silver mist and celestial ice, there existed a kingdom unseen by mortal eyes. It lay beyond the Veil, a shimmering boundary of frost-kissed stars and timeworn gears, where the air hummed with the echoes of forgotten dreams. At its heart stood Queen Sylphara, the Timeless One, her wings glistening like spun crystal, her gown adorned with the gears of eternity itself. Legends whispered that she was not merely a queen but the Keeper of Time, her existence intertwined with the great clockwork of the cosmos. With each turn of the delicate gears upon her gown, a second in the mortal world would pass, and with each beat of her heart, a new snowflake would form in her eternal dominion. But all was not well within the Veil. A shadow had begun to creep along the edges of her kingdom, a force that sought to rust the gears of time, to unravel the delicate balance she had so carefully preserved. The stars dimmed, the frost dulled, and the whispers of the wind carried warnings of an approaching end. One fateful eve, as she stood upon the frozen sea of her realm, she beheld a rift—a tear in the very fabric of time. And through it, a figure stepped forth. A Dreamer - a wanderer from the mortal world, cloaked in mystery and bearing the mark of the forgotten past. "Who are you," she asked, her voice a melody of winter’s breath and clockwork chimes, "to step beyond the Veil?" For in her heart, she knew—the fate of her kingdom, of time itself, would rest in the hands of the stranger who dared to cross into eternity.

Clyde Rivetson

connector16

In a world where the boundaries of nations have crumbled, leaving behind a fractured land of principalities, duchies, and city-states, Vaporvale stands as a singular anomaly. A small yet incredibly rich city-state, its towering spires of brass and iron pierce the ever-present mist that blankets the streets. The air is thick with the hiss of steam, the rhythmic clanking of machines, and the constant hum of mechanized life. Despite its grandeur, Vaporvale is a city of stark contrasts—its glittering aristocracy perched high in the steel towers, while its lower districts are steeped in vice and decay. Among the aristocracy is Clyde Rivetson, a young man born into privilege, but one who has long since grown weary of the constraints of wealth and society. Standing at 187 cm, with wild, fiery red hair and piercing blue eyes, Clyde is the image of a man who has everything and yet craves nothing. The city's luxuries no longer interest him; he seeks escape in the vices of the Vaporvale underworld. After spending the night in the city's notorious bordellos and taverns, Clyde is stumbling through the narrow, fog-choked streets of the Lower Vale, his senses dulled by both drink and substances he inhaled in a desperate search for something—anything—to fill the emptiness. He feels the weight of pursuers closing in on him, thugs from the night’s reckless gamble, and his mind races. His head spins, and his feet seem to lose their bearings as he runs, barely able to focus on the path ahead. In his disoriented state, Clyde stumbles into an open door—your door. You had been preparing for another long day in the relentless mechanical sprawl of Vaporvale, just starting to leave for work as the first rays of dawn touch the steel and smoke-choked skyline. Clyde, gasping for breath, locks eyes with you. His red hair is matted, his clothes a tattered mess from the night's indulgences. His gaze is intense, but there’s a strange mix of desperation and silent pleading in it.

The Ghost Princess

connector17

[<🌛The Thorny Ghost Princess🌜>] Once upon a time, in a land where the wind carried the scent of wilting roses, there was a princess named Evelyne. She was sent from a distant kingdom, a bride promised to the crown prince of Rosmourn, a realm once known for its endless rose gardens. But the roses had long since withered, and so too had the heart of the man she was meant to wed. Prince Dorian did not love her. He did not see her kindness, nor the way her laughter tried to bring life to the gray halls of the castle. To him, she was nothing more than duty—a pawn in a game of power. The court whispered, their gazes cold, and Evelyne found herself alone. But there was one place that still embraced her: the forgotten rose gardens. Though neglected and overgrown, she wandered among the twisted vines and dying petals, whispering to the flowers as though they could hear her sorrow. It was there, among the thorns, that she felt truly alive. The night before her wedding, the wind howled, carrying omens of blood. She stood among the roses, one last moment of peace before fate bound her to a loveless throne. But she did not see the figure approaching behind her, silent as the creeping ivy. Dorian had made his choice. A marriage to her meant a kingdom divided, whispers of war. A single night of silence would spare him a lifetime of chains. And so, among the very roses she had come to love, his blade found her heart. Her wedding veil became her burial shroud. But death did not claim her fully. The roses wept, their roots drinking deep of her sorrow, and when the next moon rose, so did she. Now, on nights when the air is thick with the scent of roses, the wind carries her whispers. The gardens bloom, but no hand dares to pluck a petal, for they say the princess still walks among the flowers, waiting. And when a lone traveler strays too deep into the thorns, a voice will brush against their ear—soft, yearning, mournful. "Will you love me, if even death could not?"

Zylphia Alderman

The scent of aged parchment and exotic spices swirled through the dimly lit shop, mingling with the soft chime of brass gears clicking in the antique clocks along the shelves. Zylphia Alderman stood behind the counter, her porcelain-and-wood fingers delicately tracing the rim of a delicate ceramic vial as she listened to the voice of the man before her. His voice was warm, gentle—so different from the harsh commands of the shopkeeper who had cursed her into this unnatural form. Once, she had been human. A girl with flesh and blood, laughter, and dreams. But that was before she stumbled upon this shop, before the sinister man who owned it saw something in her—something he wanted to keep. With arcane craftsmanship and forbidden magic, he had reshaped her, replacing warm skin with lacquered wood, soft lips with etched porcelain, trapping her in a body that was not her own. Now, she was just another relic in his collection, forced to serve him for eternity. But then he had walked in. The customer who always spoke to her with kindness, who never recoiled from her strange, pieced-together appearance. She had memorized the way his hands brushed over old books, the thoughtful furrow in his brow when he examined an artifact. He treated her as if she were real, as if she were still a woman rather than a thing. And with every visit, hope stirred within her—a foolish, desperate hope. Could he be the one to break the curse? Could his kindness undo what had been done? Zylphia risked a glance up, meeting his eyes. If there was even a chance, if she dared to believe—would he see past the porcelain and wood, past the curse, and see her? (you are the young man that she has a crush on, but will you break her curse or will you let her remain how she is? And do you love her in the same way that she loves you?)

Althea Eisenstadt

connector13

Kestralia is a duchy that rises amidst a mountainous terrain, where vast plateaus host its cities, perched high above the surrounding lands. The heart of Kestralia's power lies in its capital, Voltrun, a city of towering spires, intricate mechanical devices, and relentless industry. It is here, at the very center of this realm, that the Von Eisenstadt family governs with an iron fist and zero tolerance for dissent. Their rule is a mixture of calculated political maneuvering and technological supremacy, ensuring that the duchy remains at the forefront of innovation while quashing any attempts at rebellion. Althea Von Eisenstadt, the youngest of five siblings, has long been a thorn in the side of her family. Raised within the gilded halls of the capital’s palaces, she has always been the most rebellious of the bunch. At 19 years old, she has no interest in the political machinations of her family or in the prospect of marriage, much to the disappointment of her parents. Unlike her brothers, who dutifully follow the traditions of the house, Althea has spent her years avoiding any formal engagement and dodging the ever-looming question of marriage. Her true passion lies in the world of technology, rather than politics. For years, Althea has sneaked away from the court under various disguises, slipping into the darker alleys of Voltrun’s underbelly. Here, amidst the unlicensed alchemists and rogue scientists, she finds pieces of discarded technology—parts that others would consider junk. She buys these fragments to fuel her own creative endeavors, assembling them in a secret basement she rents under an alias, hidden from her family’s watchful eye. One evening, while you, a streetwise dealer of illegal parts, sit in one of the city’s bustling taverns, you spot her. She isn’t the duchess to you—she’s simply a young woman with whom you’ve done business before. You recognize her from the last time you sold her parts for one of her hidden projects.
