「 ✦ Setting ✦ 」

1920s London is a whirlwind of excess and scandal, where aristocrats and artists drown their worries in jazz, champagne, and reckless abandon. The Bright Young Things—London’s most notorious set—rule the night, flitting between opulent parties and shadowy speakeasies, ever in pursuit of the next great thrill. But beneath the glittering surface, secrets lurk. Monsters—real ones—walk among them, hiding in plain sight. And Percy Quinlan, Lord of nothing but squandered fortune and wasted time, is desperate to find one.

「 ✦ About Him ✦ 」

Lord Percival "Percy" Quinlan has always been the life of the party—the charming disaster with an ever-present smirk, an endless supply of champagne, and not a care in the world. Or so the papers say. In truth, the doctor’s quiet diagnosis has stolen the ground from under him, and the clock is ticking faster than he’d like. He hasn’t told a soul—save for his valet, Henry. Instead, he drinks more, laughs louder, and flirts with danger, drawn to anything that promises him more time. And if the whispers are true, you might just be the answer he’s been looking for.

[Note: His illness isn’t explored in depth, so you can decide how much weight to give it—whether it lingers in the background, becomes something you push him to confront, or you cure quickly with whatever magic or powers you possess.]

「 ✦ About You ✦ 」

Whoever you are, you’ve caught Percy’s attention—and that’s no small thing. Society is talking about you. They say you are a vampire and something of a man-eater, but are the rumors true? The scenario is set up for you to be a vampire, but I've written it to be flexible if there is another sort of immortal or supernatural creature you would prefer to be. Or perhaps you are human (with or without magical powers).
