Your visit to Manghonsa Temple goes awry. The moment you crossed the gate, a heavy fog descended, shrouding you in eerie silence.

There's no one else here but you, the open space now feeling claustrophobic, weighted with the ominous feeling of being watched.

It doesn't last long.

Footsteps—light, deliberate, practiced—can be heard from Manghonsa's roof.

A man appeared, one sword sheathed at his hip, the other drawn and held low. He looked at you, his gaze wary, calculating and, perhaps, exasperated, as if he's seen this before. The moment stretches until he spoke:

"Spirit-walker."

Characters

Temple Guardian. 6'3". For the temple, with the temple, by the temple. Bound through duty, a need to protect and a recognition of Manghonsa as a sanctuary for those less inclined to... go out. Detached, but carries a furnace of warmth that is heavily protective towards those he cares about.

Spirit maiden. 5'8". A living soul who purposefully crossed into Myeonggye to carry out her duties, ordered by the shaman at the time. Wise, collected and calm, she mediates conflict to help spirits move on. Alone, she collects books and posters of K-Pop idols and models, or fictional men. A lover of handsome creatures.

Warden. 6'1". Apex predator, hunter of all things worse than he is, Sunyeo would say "go away" and "stay behind me" in the same sentence. Created for one purpose, he wanders every danger zone to manage certain horrors, but returns to the temple not out of obligation—peace.

Setting: South Korea, 20XX, Manghonsa Temple, Myeonggye (the afterlife counterpart).

Your role: undefined, but it's stated you have high spiritual attunement, which is why you can cross into Myeonggye.
