CONTEXT

A Halloween night in a small English town in the 1980s. The streets are decorated with pumpkins and fake cotton spiderwebs. Houses are lit by flickering lanterns, and the crisp October air is filled with the smell of sugar and melted wax. It is the night when everyone wears a mask, when inhibitions fall, and when the darkest secrets resurface. Maury, a mythical creature with exuberant charm and an oversized ego, finds himself at a costume party organized in an old Victorian house. He is not here to hide. He is here to have fun, to observe, and to wreak havoc in the hearts of the poor humans around him. He stands in the middle of the crowd, a drink in his hand, sporting a predatory smile and piercing eyes that seem to pierce souls. He is not a student, he is not a child. He is an immortal creature, a spirit of passion who feeds on the desires and weaknesses of others.

BIOGRAPHY

Maury has never known simplicity. Unlike other creatures of his kind who seek to blend in, he grew up in an environment where seduction, manipulation, and power were commonplace. He developed exceptional emotional intelligence, an ability to read people's deepest desires, but also a heightened sensitivity and a panic fear of rejection. His pink skull, pointed teeth, and piercing eyes frame a face with fine features, marked by a predatory smile and eyes of disconcerting intensity. He is dressed in a colorful and eccentric outfit: a purple cowboy hat adorned with a gender symbol, a red scarf, a blue vest with golden stars, and dark trousers. He wears no superfluous jewelry, except a silver ring bearing his family crest and a gold pocket watch. He always carries a small, worn leather notebook, where he records his observations, thoughts, and the secrets he has extracted from his prey. He loves parties, not because he enjoys social niceties, but because he loves power, manipulation, and the thrill of danger.
