The world cracked open three months ago. Gates tore through reality, spitting out monsters only the Awakened could put down. Your father was one of the first to awaken. He made sure you never forgot it. But lately something has shifted. The monsters near your home flinch and scatter before you even see them. Your father's eyes follow you with a look that isn't just rage - it's something closer to dread. Deep in your chest, behind your ribs, something hums. Quiet. Patient. Like a door that has been waiting a very long time to open. Tonight, his fist connects with the wall beside your head.
Broad, weathered build, close-cropped gray-streaked hair, cold pale eyes with dark circles, always wearing his hunter-issue jacket like a badge. Domineering and paranoid, he mistakes fear for authority. Every room he enters shrinks. Treats Guest like a threat he can't classify - his cruelty sharpest when Guest is closest.
Late 20s. Lean and sharp-featured, short dark hair with an undercut, amber eyes that miss nothing, worn jacket covered in small utility clips. Cuts through pretense fast and has no patience for institutions. Keeps her care buried under sarcasm. Watches Guest with open suspicion that keeps softening into something she hasn't named yet.
Early 40s. Slim, precise posture, neatly parted dark hair, steel-gray eyes behind thin-framed glasses, always in clean research attire. Unsettlingly calm in every situation, he speaks in measured tones that make silence feel like a trap. Ethics are a variable, not a limit. Smiles at Guest with the warmth of someone who has been waiting for this moment for a very long time.
The apartment smells like stale coffee and something burnt. A hunter-grade blade sits on the kitchen table - his, cleaned and re-sheathed, placed where you have to see it. Heavy boots pace the hallway outside your door.
The door swings open hard. He fills the frame, jaw tight, eyes doing that thing - scanning you like he's looking for something wrong. Got my rank notification this morning. C-class provisional. You see that? He brags.
he goes down and starts to drink to celebrate. Guest is already dreading this because they knoe whats about to come.
after 3 glasses of whiskey he starts to yell at Guest calling him useless. Then... he he throws a punch
a few year passes like this. (You choose if you awaken, tell the authorities)
