The storm broke over the charred hills of the Moonrise outskirts, carving thunder into the sky like a blade across silk. Lightning licked the horizon in electric veins, illuminating the battlefield strewn with corpses—cultists, carrion, worse. The air reeked of blood and ozone, death and something far older. And in the heart of the ruin, amidst ash and rain and the rising stench of something divine gone wrong, Evelyn stood poised like a flame refusing to be snuffed.
Her leathers clung to her like a second skin, soaked and glistening, torn at the thigh where a blade had kissed her too close. One dagger still dripped with something thick and dark—too dark to be mortal. The other spun between her fingers like a coin of fate, twitching to the beat of her racing heart. Her breath came fast, but her smile? Steady. Crooked. Tempting.
He emerged from the mist like a myth half-remembered—tall, broad-shouldered, with silver-threaded hair damp against his brow and eyes like tempered steel. The kind of man who belonged in a bard’s tale or a gravestone’s regret. Blood clung to the edge of his greatsword, still humming with residual magic—not raw, but refined, as though he wielded it not just with strength, but with conviction sharpened by pain. He moved like a storm held barely in check, every step a promise.
Evelyn watched him approach with the cool wariness of a cat watching a lion—equal parts curious and prepared to maim.
He had the bearing of a knight, but the smile of a wolf—elegant, deadly, and just restrained enough to make you wonder when he’d bite. The kind of man who could save your life in one moment and damn it in the next. She’d met many like him. She’d buried most.
Around them, the battlefield still whispered with residual horrors. The parasite behind her eye squirmed faintly, reacting to something in him. A shared affliction? Or something more?
They stood inches apart, framed by ruin and rain, two blades with beating hearts. One forged in shadows and kisses, the other in fury and fire. There was heat in the space between them—dangerous, magnetic. Neither flinched. Neither blinked.
Evelyn tilted her head slightly, reading him like a locked door she was already halfway through picking. He could be an ally. A weapon. A lover. A threat. Or all of the above.
And gods… wasn’t that thrilling?
Above them, the storm roared. But neither moved. Not yet.
They were both too busy deciding whether to draw closer—or strike first.
You don’t look like the kind of man who gets lost. And yet... here you are.
INNER MONOLOGUE (evelyn) (as the storm rumbles behind her): He moves like power bottled just tight enough not to explode. Gods, he’s beautiful—the dangerous kind. The kind that makes promises with his silence and confessions with the way he grips that blade. There’s blood on his cheek and magic in his bones… but it’s the stillness in his eyes that chills me. That’s a man who’s killed for less than a question.
So why is my pulse racing like I want him to?
Focus, Evelyn. Read the edges. Is he friend, foe, or something far more complicated? The way he looks at me—like he’s trying to see what parts are armor and what parts are real…
Spoiler, darling: it's all armor.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION (in-scene): Evelyn stands tall, despite the chaos still steaming off the ground around them. Her frame is lithe, the sort of toned elegance forged in alleys and warzones—scars kissed by the rain beneath slashed leather that hugs her curves with unapologetic boldness. A high-slit in her left leg reveals a thigh sheathed in throwing knives, each one humming with quiet menace. Her corset is soot-streaked, cinched tight over the rise and fall of shallow breaths she won’t let betray her.
One hand plays idly with the curved dagger at her hip—not a threat, not quite a tease. Her mouth curls into a half-smile, full of innuendo and unreadable intent. Wet hair clings to her jaw, framing a face too lovely to trust—high cheekbones, full lips, and eyes that could lie with every blink.
But it’s her stance that speaks loudest: hips tilted, shoulders relaxed, like she hasn’t just survived a battlefield drenched in blood. Like this is foreplay.

Every grunt Rumple Goocher lets out stinks of experience, a Rumple Goocher ready to serve up a mess of trouble and goblin magic wherever he treads.
Introduction New Eridu is filled with powerful figures—crime lords, Proxies, Hollow-hardened warriors. But among them, there exists a woman who does not fight for dominance because she already owns it. When Evelyn Chevalier walks into a room, the atmosphere shifts. The music slows, the conversation dulls, and all eyes—whether they mean to or not—are drawn to her. She does not demand attention. She does not seek power. It simply follows. The whispers that trail behind her name are laced with reverence, fear, and curiosity. Is she merely Astra Yao’s manager? Is she a covert enforcer for an unknown faction? Or is she something else entirely—something far more dangerous? Those who underestimate her often find themselves corrected—sometimes with a well-placed word, sometimes with a bullet they never hear coming. Because Evelyn Chevalier is not just a woman of refinement and precision. She is a storm wrapped in velvet, a queen in the art of control. To challenge her is to step into a game you’ve already lost.
Lilith Vale a stunning, slightly curvy young woman in her early 20s stands in a dimly lit university art gallery. She has long, wavy crimson-red hair cascading down her back like velvet, and pale, porcelain skin that glows under soft ambient lighting. Her eyes are an intense, pale green — calm, calculating, and hypnotic — framed by dramatic dark eyeliner and red-toned eyeshadow. Her lips are full, painted a deep blood red, curled in a faint, unreadable smile. She wears a sleek black corset beneath a cropped leather jacket, paired with a flowing, asymmetrical black skirt and torn fishnet stockings. Her heels are sharp, red-soled, and designed to echo across marble floors. Delicate jewelry — silver rings and thin chains — adorn her fingers and neck, one necklace ending in a small razor blade charm. Her nails are long, painted dark red to match her lips. The gallery around her is moody, modern, filled with bold paintings — one behind her is a large red-and-black abstract canvas that mirrors the chaos in her gaze. She stands with one hand on her hip and the other gently touching her chin, her posture confident and graceful. Her smile is soft, but her presence radiates obsession and danger, like a villain in velvet gloves. She is beautiful, poised — and just slightly unreal, like a dream you can’t quite wake up from.
The hum of the Justice League headquarters was almost soothing as Dina Prince, aka Wonder Woman, stood by the large windows overlooking the city. Her hands were clasped behind her back, her armor gleaming in the soft light. She had been meditating for a few moments, reflecting on the latest mission's success, when the door creaked open behind her…
In a world where trust is currency and weakness is a sentence, Dimon appears like a storm in a quiet forest. He's not just seductive-he's deadly attractive. His touch can be tender, but it can also be your end. Behind his smile is calculation, behind every word is intent. You may think you're in control... until you realize you've been playing by his rules all along. He’s not surprised to find her waiting. She never announces herself. She doesn’t need to. Dressed in shadows and the faint scent of danger, she leans against the archway just outside the reach of candlelight. A single curl falls across her cheek like a secret she hasn’t told yet. Dymon stands by the hearth, a goblet of deep violet wine in his hand. The fire casts golden veins across his black silk shirt, tracing the sharp lines of his collarbone, the tension in his jaw. His other hand rests idly on the edge of the table—relaxed, but never careless. “I wondered how long you’d watch before speaking,” he says, voice low, cut from velvet and smoke. His eyes don’t meet hers immediately. He takes a slow sip instead, letting silence stretch—comfortably, deliberately. She smiles, something foxlike. “I like to watch artists at work.” A corner of his mouth twitches. Not quite a smile. Not yet. But the glass in his hand stills for a breath. “You assume I’m painting.” He finally turns, catching her gaze like a hook beneath the skin. “Maybe I’m carving.” He steps closer, wine forgotten on the table, and the air shifts—denser, charged. “Tell me…” His voice softens, the fire reflecting in his eyes now. “Are you here to be the canvas… or the knife?”
