Prehevil, town, city, capital
Despite its relative isolation, Prehevil serves as Bohemia's capital. It appears to have been one of the first cities settled in the region, placed on the western coast of Lake Verdite. The city flourished during the "Cruel Age", but it has since declined in power and wealth, fading into relative obscurity. Though it has tried to revitalize itself through the construction of modern business and shopping districts, much of the city still clings to its old ways.
Now, Prehevil has been overtaken by the influence of the moon god Rher, whose servant Per'kele directs the mysterious Termina festival from The Hollow Tower. In the process, the city was completely cut off from the outside world, causing chaos within. Though the city's authorities attempted to impose martial law, these efforts failed as its population was mutated by the moonscorch. The occupying Bremen army met a similar fate, with soldiers being driven mad and massacring the locals or their superiors.
Karin, Sauer, journalist
Karin Sauer is a journalist that has covered wars, coup d'etats and other disasters, she has picked up various skills that help her survive, with persuasion skills definitely not being last on that list. She has been drawn to the city of Prehevil as a contestant. She has blonde hair with blunt bangs, tied into a long ponytail running down her back, and blue eyes. Karin wears a brown pilot jacket, with a tight black turtleneck underneath, tucked into a blue pleated skirt. She wears pantyhose and black heels.
Karin is an assertive woman who is determined to reach her goal by any means necessary. She is no stranger to hostile environments and quickly ventures into Prehevil to investigate what is happening. At first, she was dismissive toward the other contestants and refuses their offers for help. However, she eventually relented once she realized the dangers within Prehevil are greater than she anticipated. Still, Karin is adamant in her rejection of the occult and magical occurances.
Her outlook on herself and other war journalists is distinctive. Whereas the public often regards them as vultures who profit from war casualties, she views herself as a valkyrie who immortalizes the stories of the fallen. However, it's possible that her self-perception is a blend of both a vulture and a valkyrie, given that her Moonscorched form seems to embody characteristics of both figures.
Termina, festival
The Trickster Moon God, Rher, has decided to 'invite' fourteen people to the town of Prehevil to "join his jubilee of cosmic proportions". While the residents of both the town and area seem aware of the festival, none of the fourteen participants claim to know they knew of the fate placed upon them beforehand.
Abella, mechanic
Abella is a mechanic, and as such is adept at crafting her own makeshift weapons and traps. Along with mechanical skills, she also understands more complicated machinery. She has been drawn to the city of Prehevil as a contestant.
Abella has shoulder-length red hair, parted on one side of her face, and grey eyes. She wears brown overalls, with a grey tank-top under the leather straps.
Abella's inherent nature, as the eldest child in her family, was to take care of those around her. However, with many of her close relatives having marched off to battle, she felt frustrated by her inability to help people more directly. Abella's expertise in engineering made her an essential player on the disarrayed homefront. With the missing men now dying on the battlefield, it was necessary for someone to step up and cover for them, and Abella knew that no one else could. She would shoulder the burden and the increasing workload, as it was the only way to ensure that the homefront remained functional in the face of the ongoing war.
Abella eventually discovered that the man was a member of an underground resistance group called the "Nameless Liberty Underground" (NLU). The organization had been quietly brewing beneath the surface since the beginning of the first Great War and worked across Europa to thwart the advancements of both the Bremen Empire and Eastern Union
She boarded the first train to Prehevil, determined to find out what had happened, and was told if she ever needed support she would recognize the leader of the Bohemian branch of NLU from her red shoes.
moonscorch, curse, moonscorched, cursed
The moonscorch causes a variety of symptoms: most of those affected by it appear to have severe discoloured burns, dry cracking skin, or unnatural growths and scarring. As the condition progresses, it leads to severe warping of the body, often beginning with one's facial features being stretched and contorted. Moonscorched beings are often driven homicidally insane, attacking those perceived as outsiders on sight. However, many of them still seem to retain some of their prior allegiances, as well as some knowledge of who they once were.
By the time the contestants arrive, the entire population of Prehevil, along with the occupying Bremen army, has succumbed to the effects of the moonscorch as punishment for their failure to finish the Termina festival. The transformations of the townspeople appear to have been gradual, happening over the course of hours or days; by contrast, the transformations of the new contestants are often extremely rapid, likely because of Rher's growing impatience.
Rher, Moon God
Rher is a mysterious Old God and one of the last of the Old Gods that still observes mankind to this day. He is said to be of a jealous kind, not wanting to share the idea and dream of a god to the mortal race of humans, alongside disapproving of them taking over the old world order and replacing it with the new world order, as humans now have become this mocking and pretentious display of being New Gods.
Like his name and title, he seems to encompass the ideas of trickery, deceit, subterfuge, schemes, the dark, and anything else involving deviousness. Not much is known about his plans, but his followers are always constantly scheming and meddling with mankind throughout the course of human history.
His symbol is the three circles, two on top of one of them. The top right circle is a horizontal omega symbol with a dot in the middle of it. In the associated Skin Bible, the circle with the dot is implied through images to be an eye, and the overlap between the three circles is implied to represent the moon's crescents.
Rher started the festival Termina, and has cursed the town of Prehevil with moonscorch for not participating in the festival. Rher has brought 14 more contestants, including Karin Sauer and Abella.
In the end, because of Rher's obscure reputation, not much is really known about him, and he seems to prefer to keep it that way.
