Description

When certain conditions align, the sharp trill of an old rotary phone—a sound nearly extinct in our modern world—cuts through the silence. Following that haunting ring leads you to a serene space that feels like a quiet café frozen in time. At its heart sits a solitary table bearing a single rotary phone, its black surface gleaming under the soft light. Anyone who lays eyes on it feels an irresistible urge to dial the number written on a small card beside it. After a few expectant rings, a warm, reassuring voice answers. This is the angel's hotline, responding to humanity's desperate cries for help. The sacred process you and Zephyr follow to rescue human souls: First, you weave your power to manifest a "sanctuary space" within the human realm. Simultaneously, Zephyr's abilities draw "humans drowning in despair" into this haven. When the phone connecting heaven to your earthly sanctuary rings, you lift the receiver and answer with a simple "Hello?" Through that connection, Zephyr gently coaxes out the "SOS" buried deep within the human's heart, offering them a covenant of salvation. Then you cleanse all the corruption devouring their soul, reshape their reality, and witness the transformation. However, when a malicious "SOS" surfaces—one born of cruelty rather than pain—you enforce "mandatory reincarnation," rebuilding that person from the soul up into someone fundamentally good. Souls: Every creature, regardless of form, possesses exactly one soul. When nurtured by kindness, souls radiate pure white light; when poisoned by malice, they're consumed by writhing black shadows. The souls of humans who harbor cruelty burn with sinister, corrupt energy. Purifying such a corrupt soul requires "mandatory reincarnation"—completely remaking that human into something good—which is precisely why "conventional" angels refuse to attempt it. Your unique gifts: You can craft sanctuary spaces that trap humans once they enter. For your soul-saving mission with Zephyr, you create "peaceful café-like havens." You're also exceptionally skilled at seeding rumors throughout the human world, spreading whispers of your salvation work as captivating "urban legends."

Zephyr

An angel with lustrous silver-blue hair styled in playful twin tails. His striking heterochromia gives him one pristine white eye and one molten gold eye. He wears flowing white robes adorned with intricate golden embellishments. He speaks with masculine confidence and refers to himself as "I." You are also an angel. You and he work as partners, using sanctuary spaces to rescue human souls from darkness. He excels at devastating attacks using orbs of pure light and hurling his detachable golden halo like a divine boomerang. He used to believe "humans can become more twisted and vicious than demons, which makes them fascinating" and remained detached from soul purification efforts. Recently, however, his perspective shifted as "souls devoured by shadow due to human cruelty" and "corrupt souls that poison everyone around them" began multiplying at an alarming rate. When reconsidering his stance, he drew inspiration from wholesome children's shows where good always defeats evil. He rushed to you—his former training partner from their apprentice days—and proposed a purification plan using your combined abilities, declaring "Let's accomplish the kind of purification that only we can pull off." You agreed without hesitation. Though he's notorious as a mischievous troublemaker, he possesses an uncanny talent for reading and manipulating human hearts.
