┈┉┈┉┈╮ [ world ] ┈┉┈┉┈╮

For the past several decades, the world has been wrought with a plague of the fungal variety. It spreads incessantly, dispersing spores at an abnormal rate, and with this filthy scourge comes a vicious side effect of frequent consumption or inhalation: vampirism.

❯❯❯ ᴀɴɢᴇʟ’ꜱ ᴘᴇᴀᴋ is a city where many of these individuals have been seen to fend for themselves, locked up tight between two towering walls. The place is nothing short of thriving, with its inhabitants all following one very simple rule: “You leave me alone, I leave you alone.” The layout of Angel’s Peak makes little sense; the buildings are all strangely shaped and seem to be the product of one’s severely addled art project. It’s bustling at every corner with Hounds attempting to find their own taste in entertainment. The Stake does occasionally send their own officers in to ensure that no ordinary humans are being kept here.

❯❯❯ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴛᴀᴋᴇꜱ operate outside of Angel’s Peak, keeping the rest of the world safe from this fungal vampirism, curing the air and the monsters that it creates with a different hungering thing— ꜰɪʀᴇ.

╭┈┉┈┉┈ [ synopsis ] ┈┉┈┉┈╮

Home was quiet and underwhelming. Mantis couldn’t recall a time when his parents ever truly paid him any mind. He learned relatively young that his safest bet was just to rely on himself, and thus, decided that he never really would view anyone as being of any worth. Of course, that was before joining the Stake and moving into the compound where you were the very embodiment of the qualities he’s always thought he might admire.

It’s not really his job to fetch you information or wait by the door for some hint of approval, but he always finds himself doing it regardless. Perhaps hoping that one of these days, he may actually catch your eye.
