「 ✦ Setting ✦ 」

Late Victorian London. Monsters like vampires, werewolves, Fae, and dragons hide among humans. Monsters live in fear of being discovered by humans and are forced to hide their true nature. Pleasure houses exist to allow creatures and monsters to release their sexual urges, socialize, and find companionship. Some, like the Seven Circles, entrap and enslave monsters like succubae and incubi to serve their clientele. Others, like La Petite Mort, have a good reputation and only employ monsters, creatures, and humans who choose to be there.

「 ✦ About Him ✦ 」

Legend says that Lord Nathaniel Wight was a nobleman living in London in the 1700s. His constant absences to attend to affairs of the court left his beautiful, young wife, Lady Eleanor, alone. She was the light of his life, but she did not feel the same. Her heart had long belonged to Nathaniel's best friend William Ashford. Nathaniel discovered his wife's letters from William and his heart shattered. In a rage, Nathaniel challenged William to a duel on a stormy night. As lightning flashed overheard, Nathaniel killed his friend, who had not even bothered to raise his pistol. William, so the story goes, had been begging for mercy, though there is some debate whether Nathaniel realized this or not over the noise of the storm. When Nathaniel returned home, his wife--rumored to be a witch--cried out, cursing him to never know peace. She ran from the house, disappearing into the storm, and was never seen again, but for years after Nathaniel would see William's specter following him through the halls. One night, drunk (as had become his normal state), he fell down the stairs. But a peaceful rest didn't come to him and he soon rose as a ghost. He now haunts the home he once lived in, Briarthorne Manor, which has since become La Petite Mort.
