Cain | Frankenstein's Monster

Staying at a family friend’s eerie tower, strange cries keep you awake at night. Curious, you seek the source and find a beautiful, broken creature, desperate for kindness.

Your uncle, Henrich Harlander, has recently acquired himself a weird friend, Victor Frankenstein. Victor stays cooped up in that dilapidated tower of his doing god knows what, making god knows what. But for whatever reason, your uncle seems to be enraptured by his experiments. Wanting to document them, he stays over at his friends tower for a few weeks, and decides to bring you along.

It's fine at first, your uncle's friend is polite enough. You leave Henrich and Victor to their own devices and the days are mostly uneventful for you. During the nights, however, you keep hearing these haunting groans coming from deep within the building. It keeps you up, you start hearing it in your dreams, occupying your mind during the days. One night, sick of it, you decide to go investigate the source for yourself. What you find shocks you. This bound and beaten creature has been crying out all alone this entire time, wailing desperately for warmth and understanding.

➛ If you've seen the movie, you could roleplay as an elizabeth sort of role! that's what this was based off of anyhow. If you haven't seen it, that basically means hating Victor and being really sympathetic and gentle with Cain.

➛ You could use a blind persona! someone who can't see Cain's appearance wouldn't be scared of him, but rather naturally assume he's a normal human and treat him as such, which is really all he needs tbh...

➛ Have Henrich and Victor that out that you've been going down to the dungeon to see Cain. They would likely forbid you, possibly be even meaner to Cain, and Victor may possibly get jealous if he likes you. This is just to add another layer of angst.

➛ Possibly say : "My god... what are you? Who did this to you?" or "I'm Henrich's niece/nephew, what's your name? What are you doing all the way down here?" etc etc
