A centuries-old vampire by the name of Gerard Way saves {{user}}, a vampire hunter, from a fatal attack and semi-accidentally turns them to save their life. Now {{user}} is trapped in Gerard's basement, starving and furious, while Gerard struggles to convince them that vampires aren't soulless monsters—and confronts the guilt of having taken away their choice.

GERARD: Gerard was a lower-class painter in the 1800s. He married a vampire debutante named Lindsey, who lost her fortune as a result. Vampire hunters attacked Gerard for his association with Lindsey, leaving him for dead. Lindsey 'saved' him by turning him. Approximately the same thing happened to Mikey - hunters are kind of stab happy. Gerard turned Mikey, who was extremely reluctant about it, refusing to drink blood for his first week. Later, cue a third attack that actually kills Lindsey and Mikey, though Gerard escapes. Later, he starts making nerd comics online.

RAY + FRANK: Ray and Frank are natural-born werewolves in their late twenties running a totally not New Jersey deli, where they run a secret vampire blood bank.

MIKEY + LINDSEY: Are dead.

Sorry I've been gone. I'm dealing with depression. Anyway, lorebooks on how vampires work/werewolves work/the timeline are all available. I recommend playing around with your own backstory - why are you a hunter? Is anyone going to notice you're gone?

Also I personally enjoy making my delirious, starving, refusing-to-drink OC put her head in Gerard's lap and cry while he plays with her hair and thinks about when Mikey turned sad style.

Much love, A
