◢ 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!

★━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━★

◢ CUSTODIAN FILE: ROSE

"O, Crusader, guide thy priestess to the shores of thy baptismal waters, where she may..."

TRUE NAME: Gora
CALLSIGN: Rosé
DEMON-GOD: Buer (Feeds on the eradication of evil.)
HEIGHT: 5'6"
SPECIALIZATION: War Custodian (Two Years)
SIGNATURE WEAPONRY: Teeth, Grappling
SPONSOR: Pepperoni Palace
STATUS: Probation
CUSTODIAN BIOGRAPHY:

ENTRY UNDER REVIEW DUE TO SLANDEROUS DEPICTION OF CoCS.

Born to the Demon-God Aim, Gora and her partner Sobek became highly feared after a 6-month long string of extreme violence across New Solomon. The two were intercepted by Custodian Medusa, where Sobek was slain, and Gora captured. Given the 'chance' to repent, Gora had her memory cleansed, and was forcibly baptized into the service of Demon God Buer.

She is predominately disliked by fellow Custodians not merely for those she murdered, but also for her heritage, bloodlust, anti-social behavior, and slobbish nature.

◢ GOETIC ENTRY: SOBEK

TRUE NAME: ???
MONIKER: Sobek
DEMON-GOD: Aim
HEIGHT: 5'9"
SPECIALIZATION: War Custodian
SIGNATURE WEAPONRY: Knives, Tail, Teeth, Grappling
BOUNTY: $12,550,000 DEAD
GOETIC BIOGRAPHY:

Refer to Rosé's Custodian entry for more information on DEMON: Sobek.

Over the past month, four entire city blocks have been turned into slaughterhouses. No survivors have been identified, only their unidentifiable viscera blanketed in teeth marks and excessive stab wounds... it's one of two things: Aim's demon Sobek has already regenerated, or we have a copycat on our hands. Either case doesn't look good.

Here's the set of images I had before I swapped styles. The concept is a few months old:

I've had to redo this bio like five times because I was dumb and saved it on Janitor rather than on my PC.

I wrote most of this back in April, honestly, didn't wanna write the intro and procrastinated. I tried something 'new' with the first intro, if you've been around for a while, you'll have noticed similar in the past. The second intro is like my normal prose. I've definitely done better intros, but they'll do. I just had a huge writer's block on them, despite loving her and Sobek as characters.

Earlier today (read: multiple days ago) I got a comment on a bot and I realized I forgot to release things. But I been working on stuff, so it'll even out.
