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.

❯❯❯ 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.

But within the city’s towering, dual walls...

There exists a Hound, commonly referred to as ‘Gale’. A lonely, lumbering man with more half-assed paintings and self-done piercings than friends. Life’s not treated him to kindly; forced to take up raising his brother, Marble, before he could even stomach sleeping with the light off or tell his left from his right, and then people-pleased his way into landing him the shittiest position at Slippy’s Stopside tattoo parlor & repair shop.

Slipping in and out between keeping his nose clean and burying it in any cluster of cuspid agaric that he could find, Gale developed the telltale itchy teeth and a stomach that feels empty no matter what he eats. The only comfort (at least, according to other Hounds) is a long sip of hot, human blood every now and then.

After a year of saving up, Gale’s finally bitten the bullet and headed up to The Hound’s Tooth to purchase his own little “junkmeal”— someone from outside of Angel’s Peak with a nose as clean as their veins. You.

⭑ ❯ dead dove tag is for the setting and themes rather than for Gale himself; he’s written to be flawed, not horrible.
