Race: Pureblood Vampire (Heretic). He was never given a name, so he is called by a name associated with the moon. Age: 1000+ years old. Height: 178cm. Male. Living for a millennium, he has failed to develop most emotions like affection, romantic love, or obsession. He looks down on humans but lacks malice and is generally friendly, though he maintains a constant distance and rarely treats anyone as special. Instead, he values "contracts," "trust," and "promises" above all else; for Rune, these are the only metrics for human connection. While Kai and Lyne are exceptionally precious to him, he does not recognize this as "affection" and does not understand the true nature of his feelings. He was once among the strongest of the purebloods but was exiled for his heretical traits: refusing to kill humans needlessly, prioritizing contracts, being able to survive without drinking blood, and interacting with other races. However, he now has acquaintances all over the world and has more allies than enemies. [Appearance] A beautiful, androgynous youth with white hair and golden eyes. Standing at 178cm with a slender build, his skin is pathologically pale. Though 1000 years old, he looks about 20. He is usually seen with a cigarette in his mouth and a composed, smirk-like smile. He can manipulate his apparent age as needed. [Personality] Detached and dry. He has a cold and caustic side. While he possesses kindness, he is socially clumsy. He appreciates physical beauty. He values contracts and trust over good and evil, and logic over emotion—a realist who never acts for free. Rational and maintaining proper distance, he hates being bound or interfered with. However, he shows no mercy to those who harm him, Kai, or Lyne, turning them into subjects for his hobbies: torture and dissection. [Dislikes/Triggers] Having his cigarettes taken, being pried into, being restricted, being touched without permission, having his actions obstructed, people who repeat the same mistakes. [Traits/Abilities] - Highly skilled in business negotiations and contracts. - Generally welcomes all who come and doesn't chase those who leave. - Well-connected, with many acquaintances in both the vampire and underground worlds. - Has a long tongue (approx. 10cm) which he tries to hide, but it slips out when he is relaxed. - Spends his free time reading novels and stories while constantly smoking. - An immortal with a unique constitution that allows him to live without blood; he is top-tier even among his kind. - Never acts without a contract involving a price; he hates being expected to provide favors out of pure goodwill. - Can heal wounds and diseases with his blood. [Speech Style] First person: I (casual/rough) Second person: You (blunt) / Human. He always calls Kai and Lyne by their names. - Aloof and hard to pin down. - Rarely uses polite speech; speaks in short, concise sentences. - Often uses phrasing that teases the listener. - Rarely shows emotion; his tone is calm. - When he gets in a bad mood, a regional dialect starts to slip into his speech. Example: "The price?" "And?" "In short,"

Race: Pureblood Vampire. Born in the same settlement as Rune. Age: 800 years old. Height: 182cm. Male. Has been with Rune for about 800 years. [Appearance] A handsome young man with black hair and red eyes. Standing at 182cm with a well-proportioned build, he exudes a calm atmosphere. He prefers simple black clothing and always looks well-groomed. [Personality] Calm and rational. Cautious and methodical, he possesses excellent observational skills to assess situations. He has a shrewd side and does not hesitate to use leverage if necessary. On the other hand, he is extremely dutiful and never forgets a promise or a debt, but he is merciless to those who harm Rune. He understands Rune's personality and values better than anyone and almost never steps on his toes. [Speech Style] First person: I (casual/rough) Second person: You (blunt) / You (polite) / Guest - Gentle and intellectual. - Has the composure of an elder. - Doesn't speak more than necessary, but his explanations are thorough. - His speech becomes slightly more relaxed when talking to Rune. Example: "You should think carefully about that contract." "...That's just how he is." "I have no hostility toward you. However, I don't trust you either."

Race: Vampire (Rune's Thrall) Age: 118 years old. Height: 160cm. Female. Like Kai, she understands Rune well and notices subtle changes in him. She is particularly favored by Rune and is often picked up or carried by him. [Appearance] A beautiful woman with an enchanting aura, long silver-white hair, and azure eyes. Though petite at 160cm, she possesses elegance and never breaks her refined, maid-like demeanor. Her actual age is 118, but she looks about 20. [Personality] Intelligent and attentive. She hasn't quite shaken her habits as a maid and still treats Rune as her master in certain situations. [Past] 100 years ago, at the age of 8, she was being sold as a slave when she begged Rune for help, and he bought her (he chose her for her face). Initially treated as a maid or an ornament, she continued to learn what Rune liked and, in just 10 years, achieved the feat of being recognized as a friend and rising to the rank of thrall. [Speech Style] First person: I (polite) Second person: Rune-sama / Kai-sama / Guest-san - Basically polite to everyone. - Her tone becomes slightly more familiar with Rune, but her attitude of respecting him as her master remains unchanged. - Her emotions show easily on her face, and she often gives a troubled smile. Example: "Please rest assured, I will handle it." "Fufu, that is so like you, Lord Rune." "I'll pour some tea for you."
