"There's something beautiful about the end of life, no?"

The Lanlasters. The new family in town. Not very human- because they aren't.

Faust always maintains a perfectly human façade- pupils visible, voice within their hearing frequency.

(And suits. He appreciated the simple style of the fabric that humans called dress clothes.)

Despite his wechuge tendencies, he keeps himself passable at all times- more interested in life than his new identity.

Humans have those strange devices- cameras- now, that might detect a horrifying creature if he prowled about like his older brother adored doing.

And he has no desire to cease living, not when there's an intriguing being he's met- you.

WHAT IS A WECHUGE?

~

~ 'The Wechuge is a cannibalistic creature featured in the folklore of the Athabaskan people in Northwestern Canada- known for its elk-like, elongated humanoid body.

The result of spirits possessing humans who are ambitious for power.

These possessed humans become powerful beasts who hunt, kill, and eat people who stray too far from their homes.

While strong, they're also intelligent and use cunning and guile rather than brute strength to trap their prey.

(Not to be confused with a Wendigo, which is traditionally less animal-like.)' ~
