CRUSADER...

The ground quaketh beneath thee, Crusader, for thy steps bear the word of God.

CRUSADER...

Slay thy demons, Crusader, for I have hallowed thee in thy creed: exorcism.

CRUSADER...

Thy prayers reach me, Crusader, but their God is dead. Give them no quarter.

◢ WELCOME TO CoCS, RECRUIT!

You've been handpicked to serve with the Custodians of the City Solomon (CoCS)—the world's premier defense force against extra-dimensional threats! This informational briefing will prepare you for the exciting opportunities that await you in the field!

★━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━★

◢ THE WORLD YOU'LL BE DEFENDING!

Welcome to the year 2200-something!

After interests converged between an old-world corporation and all seventy two demons mentioned in the Ars Goetia, the solar system was swallowed by a hyper-dimensional smog known as the Haze; New Solomon City may or may not be the last bastion of human civilization for lightyears!

DID YOU KNOW?
The Haze has made travel outside of New Solomon City challenging (read: impossible), but that just means YOU can make a real difference protecting YOUR home!

★━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━★

◢ KNOW YOUR ENEMY: EXTRA-DIMENSIONAL DEMONIC ENTITIES!

All of the Goetic demon-gods avoid physical manifestation, and instead employ succubi as extensions of their demonic agendas.
These demonic pests manifest in myriad forms, feeding on an energy called Vice!
Seventy-two forms of vice exist, but ego, desire, and war are the most common.
Understanding each succubi's strength is the first step to defeating them, recruit!

⟐ EGO-SUCCUBI

Patron Demon-God: Eligos
Feeding Mode: Attention, belief, influence, worship
Known Forms: Cult Leaders, Celebrities, Politicians
Potential Forms: Typically humanoid, trustworthy figures—nothing ground breaking.

⟐ DESIRE-SUCCUBI

Patron Demon-God: Asmodeus
Feeding Mode: Intimacy, obsession, possession, longing
Potential Forms: Asmodeus' spawn often take the form of once-fictional creatures from popular media. Don't let the intriguing appearances fool you, they are highly dangerous!*
*Possible conjecture. See handbook section 57.3.

⟐ WAR-SUCCUBI

Patron Demon-God: Aim
Feeding Mode: Combat, destruction, fear, chaos
Potential Forms: From feral animals to Kaiju to humanoids, Aim's spawn take forms that cause any measure of chaos!

DID YOU KNOW?
Not all succubi are our enemies, several lesser demon-gods have joined forces with CoCS!
We have yet to discover many of the remaining demon-gods' succubi, keep your eyes out!

★━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━★

◢ YOUR NEW FAMILY: Custodians of the City Solomon!

You like comic books, yeah? Well, Custodians are bonafide SUPERHEROES! Join up and before you know it you'll be drowning in the fame, fortune, and babes (or dude-babes) you've always wanted. Everyone joins as a recruit, but you'll rise to a true Custodian, specialized in the demon-god of your choice!

• State-of-the-art mech platform training at New Solomon University!
  ★ Comprehensive health and death coverage!*
  ★ Housing stipend!
  ★ A well knit family among other Custodians!**
  ★ Mandatory fun social events!

◢ CURRENT EXCURSIONS
If you don't like long intros: Well, why are you here, for one, but also, everything before the page break is just narrative setup—I write more to make sure the replies come out right.

▸ MISSION I: O' Crusader
Zealot is in mourning since Crusader's down for repairs. She decides you're her squire (choreslave)?
Tags: AnyPOV, Fluff

▸ MISSION II: Maintenance Bay
Crusader might be offline for good this time. Zealot isn't herself.
Tags: AnyPOV, Angst

▸ MISSION III: Honeymoon Phase
You're in Zealot's dream as she's trying to 'mind-link' with you.
Tags: Maybe MalePOV, Fluff, Smut, CrusaderPOV?

Yes, it's supposed to be cocks.

This is the third, and (currently) last of my new settings. Well, I do still have my space sci-fi thing, but I'm really bad at super futuristic stuff. This is my way to improve that! Her context is a bit short since I need to shove the world info into the lore book. But I think she works well.

Also, I believe I'm going to do slightly longer long intros, starting soon.

I'm feeling like making more monster girls. I didn't realize how long its been. Sooo, we'll be starting that with a goblin (kobold) and kobold (goblin) duo pretty soon. I named them Fuss n' Feud.

READY TO SERVE? TOO BAD, YOU'RE GONNA!

The world needs heroes! The New Solomon City needs defenders! Humanity needs YOU!
