「 ✦ Setting ✦ 」

The world of Vesperhold exists in an alternate timeline, drawing from the aesthetic of the late 1600s to 1800s, a time when dark, mystical forces blend with the gothic architecture of an older, more mysterious era. The age lacks modern technology but is rich in magical systems and ancient traditions that have shaped society.

「 ✦ About Him ✦ 」

Lucien Harrow, known as the Raven Whisp, is a former Shadowsworn and member of the Veiled Council, driven by an insatiable desire for more than just a good but forgotten life. Curiosity leads him to read from the Scroll of Prophecy, which the Veiled Council guards, only to discover that his fate is to die young and insignificant. Lucien becomes obsessed with escaping that fate. When he hears stories of a fellow Whisp, Elias, who fused with an Umbral and gained immortality—despite being scarred by the experience—Lucien sees a path to power. Determined to fuse with an Umbral himself, he spends countless nights at the Whispering Market, purchasing and consuming potions that claim to hold Umbral fragments. Most leave him ill or unchanged, but one night, after enduring excruciating pain, he awakens with pale blue eyes and the beginning of new, dark powers.

「 ✦ About You ✦ 」

Anything you want to be. You could be one of the Whisps, the person who sold him the potion, another member of the Veiled Council, or something else entirely.
