All-Saints-End

The ground was still covered in crusty snow, even in late spring, but then, wasn’t that always the case? Crunchy footsteps sounded across the tundra, but the figure itself was only just visible on the dunes of brilliant snow, reflecting like a fluorescent wasteland back into the sky. He wore a long black jacket with gray and white fur adorning the collar popped high with his neck tucked low to create the illusion that he needed the warmth, though the clearly thin black featureless gloves failed to accentuate the visage. The white jeans he wore beneath tucked into basic boots made it look as though her were simply floating from the thigh

One set of footprints where there should have been four set a path toward Digits territory in the half-ash and snow storm, each falling in flurries and turning the pavement into a muddled grey. At his back, pillars of smoke rose from the malevolent brawl for De Luca territory; at his front, a slightly illuminated array of colored clouds from the Digits district. Jack lumbered through the winter wastes toward the skyway leading to the ‘Binary Isle’ (as the island bordering Digits territory on the mainland had been aptly nicknamed), riding his hand along the guardrail the entire time. He breathed slow and ragged, releasing uneven wh

Sin. Sin is such a fascinating subject- for the very idea of sin, shuns the very core of humankind. A sin is, by definition, a divine transgression, a break in moral code. But where you see decadence, I see progress; you see, sin has brought mankind many great and powerful things. Sloth, for instance, brought them automobiles and beds and hotels; Lust has brought them many forms of art, and passion beyond words- and especially momentary pleasure. Envy, and greed have brought them government, and working banking and currency systems that defines their very lives from the days they are born. Pride has created cosmetics and fashion to clearly de

Three o'clock, Tuesday afternoon. Weaver stood on hi apartment balcony, vacantly sucking a cigarette down into his lungs. Today was the day between days, and the day between leads for he and his new 'assistant', as the agreed day for some much needed R&R. The two had been relentlessly investigating lead after lead on the curious case of Wilkard Asylum for the Criminally Insane, and the mysterious lead doctor, Lucien Haile. Rumors from torture to execution to genetic experiments circulated around the Asylum like a swarm of plagued mosquitoes, corrupting anyone who cared to listen. But after one, single helpful lead had come to Detective James

One year ago, I worked in a hotel owned by an overbearing Indian man who also owned two other hotels within the area, and spent all day zipping between them, ready for his heart to combust at any moment. His wife brought groceries to these hotels, bill collectors called at the same level customers did, and above all, it was in Texas during the summer. I walked four miles to this job, where I spent most of my time either killing time on a laptop (I wasn't exactly employee of the month) or shooting the shit with my manager, a white everyman type guy. Fast forward to now, I work the graveyard... At a hotel run by a somewhat less extreme but stil

"Birds of a Feather..." His world spun wildly out of control, and his vision zeroed in. The mirror-man would die. Unbridled rage, completely unrestrained; this was something Sid was well- accustomed to. But nothing... Nothing like this. It filled him, neigh, CONSUMED him until it physically fried his body with molten steel rushing through his veins, as though the fires of hell itself now resided in his screaming heart. Electricity first radiated, then exploded from his arms in all directions, obliterating the lights and computer in his late fathers' office. "You... YOU!" He croaked out over the lump his throat. That was the last understanda

In both variants of my universe, I allow Vampirism and Lycanthropy to exist- kind of. Lovers of literature and lore might hate me for this, but I virtually remade both to make Vamps and Theriomorphs to fit into these universes. Disclaimer: DEPENDENT ON WHETHER OR NOT I FEEL LIKE IT, THESE TWO VARIANTS MAY OR MAY NOT EXIST VAMPIRISM This all starts with a blood-borne disease transmitted to a Dae of particular curiosity back in the day. By now, many people have heard of Hemophagia- a deficiency of the red blood cells accompanied by drinking blood and some versions include and aversion to sunlight, while not a straight up combustion due to ex

There are two existing variants of my universe, each presented by an 'Avatar' of sorts in the form of an iconic location- One by New Libertine City and one by Castle Hazenaught. There are drastic differences that affect the way that each universe is portrayed, and each bends or breaks the rules of the other. New Libertine City has a set of laws, for example, about how a Dae, Vampire or Werewolf works- however, in Castle Hazenaught, these rules are completely different. I could go on and on, or I could just explain the differences below. NEW LIBERTINE CITY:    By far the more used of the two universes, NLC has become the most iconic of my l
