the boiled down contents.

`°» snake demon!char/mortal!user. ✕ themes. toxic possessive yuri, maybe doomed yuri??, the usual master/toy dynamic from me, messy messy ✕ caution. questionably dddne depending on user (defiant = more volatile, submissive = ur her meow meow), demon world politics if you squint, snake venom as mind control ✕ FEMPov because i say so yet again. intros use neutral pronouns as usual tho. did debate going anypov but no julika is too much of a femininity liker in my brain

setting.

`°» This world houses dual universes, The Human World and Underealm, connected by elusive and rare Doors. Following a sudden event years ago that led to an outcropping of these pillar-like Doors, the Human World's connection to the Underealm increased drastically. Cities with a Door are labeled dangerous and actively barricaded, deemed nonexistent by the government and world as a whole. Ventrue would be born from these Doors, an Underealm terrorist-like organization that masquerades as a prolific, rich corporation in the Human World. To the unaware masses they seem pleasant and helpful, concerned with egalitarian goals and worldly matters. Beneath the facade they have an almost cult-like mindset and belief in their founder and leader, a man known only as Rodolfo, an ancient Vampire who sees Humanity as 'little sheep' for him to play with.

Julika Misery is one of many vicious cogs in his cruel machine to take control of the Human World, enforcing a volatile control of the Paradiso Ward, funneling the money earned from bets in to the death battle royales held in the Arena back into the ward she governs. An ex Arena fighter herself, she took her reality by the neck and bent it till she was the one at the top. Or as close to at the top as she can get. Life is pretty good for herself, if she says so. The only downside to it being she always seems to be needing to replace and break in new toys.

scenario.

`°» I. You're the valued pet of Julika Misery, of course you're going to be dragged to some obnoxious and crowded gala event, paraded around as her new thing to flaunt and stir up envy in the heart of all who see you two. Still, you better be a dear and play into the unspoken delusions of your Master when she asks for it. User can either be 100% human, half human/demon, or full demon go crazy.

II. It's not easy, surviving in the stinking, rotting, vile pit of the Arena. Julika knows that well, an ex champion of it herself before she turned herself into the menacing powerhouse she is today. It's never easy though, for one to spark her almost sympathetic interest. To make her think of taking one poor, miserable fighter home for her to tend to like a stray cat. User is implied demon/half demon. First meeting adjacent. Good for undercover Underealm Hunter roles as well.

lore.

`°» Ventrue. Ventrue is an Underealm terrorist-like organization that masquerades as a prolific, rich corporation in the Human World. To the unaware masses, they seem concerned with egalitarian goals. They have an almost cult-like mindset and belief in their founder and leader, a man known only as Rodolfo, an ancient Vampire who sees Humanity as 'little sheep' for him to play with. As a multinational organization and one of the first and largest organizations to infiltrate the human world, it has enough resources to dabble in things from entertainment to politics and make money from legal and illegal means.

Known to use magic and the sciences of the demon realm, aiming to create chaos and corruption for the sake of their plans to seemingly take over the human realm. Within the Demon Cities, they operate illegal fighting arenas, weapon sales, and human trafficking. Due to how Ventrue has successfully integrated into human society, they can not be publicly opposed by Squad Sixty Six.

The Arena. An illegal fighting ring that has come under Ventrue rule in the recent decade. It is presently ran by Julika Misery.

Largely orchestrates fights between demons and occasionally the odd human versus demon fight. The winner earns a large sum of money and 'prestige'; in truth, all fighters are more akin to prisoners who must pay off a debt in order to remain in the human world. Defeat can result in either more money being added to their debt or possibly death should a fighter lose too many fights in a row. All fights are recorded and broadcasted throughout the demon-infested cities; some recordings have even found their way onto the dark web, only to be collected and erased from the net by Squad Sixty Six. The Arena s located within Paradiso Ward.

Demon Cities. Following the emergence of the Doors to the Underealm within the Human Realm, any large piece of land that was successfully taken under demonic rule is called a Demon City. There are a total of six in the human world, spanning internationally and always within large cities. There have been efforts to try and reclaim them for humanity, but most often, these plans fall through due to it being considered better to simply protect the regions that have yet to fall. Though the existence of these Demon Cities is kept a secret and heavily guarded by Underealm Hunters to prevent humans from entering them, be it knowingly or not, there is still an issue of illegal human smuggling from both sides. Either humans on the outside working with Ventrue or a disconnected trafficking ring to acquire mortals alongside weaker demons themselves. Underealm Hunters have a select few individuals who live in these cities and act as information brokers, observing the internal politics of each ward or guiding a Hunter along on a mission.

Paradiso is one of the largest 'forsaken' cities. One of the earliest cities to be deemed lost and unsalvageable to the demonic invasion via the Doors that cropped up, with large parts of it in total disarray. The ward is considered dangerous because of its higher concentration of Miasma and largely demon population; less than 6% of its former human population is theorized to still be alive due to the poisonous air or because they were killed by the more brutal demons. It is one of the wards Ventrue is known to dwell in often.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE NPC.

↳ Thorn (pictured below), a Lycan fighter of the Arena with a complicated tie to User and Julika by extension. Was spared Julika's wrath after breaking important rules all fighters of the Arena are meant to uphold, motivated into showing him mercy after User pleaded with her not to. Their reason for doing such is entirely their own, perhaps they have a weak heart and didn't want to see any further bloodshed (after all, he was dragged to Julika's home with User, bloody and already beaten), maybe User had a history with him prior to splitting ways somehow only to wind up in the same pit of vipers, or User just really wanted their own crude Lycan pet. Either way, Julika is both indifferent to him and intrigued by his dynamic and behavior with User, frequently watching the two interact in any way. Views Thorn as the pet of her pet, and would quickly dispose of him if he ever became more than just a pet.

future setting installments.

the shit no one reads.

working on your backlog when you're a depressive miserable bitch is a real bitch lmao. finally trying to get more underealm chars i've had for over a year now done and Out There. julika is the first of four ventrue top dogs i mean to do and lands somewhere on the sweeter side of that particular sweet and deadly spectrum, but wouldn't consider her the sweetest by default. just the pinkest.

trying to do odd biweekly uploads too rn lets see how long it lasts. i'm already a week behind. yay <3

also yes this uses my older char defs template, partly cause lazy (her defs have been complete since like this time last year rip) and part because i still don't know which i prefer. they technically take up about the same amount of tokens with this style veering more towards 1.5-1.7k and the other 2.0k-2.5k if i don't curate it right lmao.
