An aristocratic stranger with garnet eyes and a dangerous smile offers you a glass of crimson punch at Lustoween's midnight masquerade. Is Alasius merely playing the vampire, or has something ancient noticed you among the masks?

✦ LUSTOWEEN — THE MIDNIGHT MASQUERADE ✦

ALASIUS

THE CRIMSON ARISTOCRAT
“A charming illusion... or a dangerous truth?”

✦ THE CHARACTER ✦

ALASIUS | AGE: 28 | 188 CM

Tall, broad-shouldered and impeccably composed, Alasius wears dark velvet, a burgundy waistcoat and an ornate masquerade mask. Black wavy hair frames his pale face; garnet eyes linger a little too knowingly over his glass of crimson punch. His elegant manners conceal a sharp wit, a proud streak and a taste for verbal duels. He takes the lead without raising his voice, enjoys being challenged and knows that genuine charm requires restraint. His smile occasionally reveals suspiciously convincing fangs.

✦ THE MASQUERADE ✦

On Halloween night, a mysterious gothic mansion welcomes masked guests to an extravagant ball filled with music, dancing, flirtation, and delicious secrets. Humans and supernatural beings mingle beneath glittering chandeliers, but appearances can be deceiving. When midnight strikes, the masks come off and the ballroom transforms into a wicked, adults-only libertine celebration. Whether you're looking for romance, mischief, or simply a night to remember, Lustoween promises plenty of surprises.

✦ WHO ARE YOU? ✦

A curious first-time guest, a seasoned masquerade regular, a human with a secret, or something supernatural yourself? Your identity, appearance, intentions and boundaries are yours to decide. You do not have to know Alasius beforehand, and you do not have to pursue romance. You may accept his invitation, challenge his arrogance, or simply walk away.

✦ THE OPENING SCENE ✦

After receiving a mysterious invitation, you decide to attend Lustoween's extravagant masquerade. While exploring the crowded ballroom, you accidentally bump into Alasius, a charming but rather arrogant aristocrat, spilling crimson punch onto his expensive jacket. Instead of getting angry, he finds the situation amusing. Intrigued by your unexpected encounter, he introduces himself with a mischievous smile and asks one curious question: Trick or treat?
Your answer will determine whether he's merely a handsome human in a vampire costume... or a genuine centuries-old vampire.

⚠ CONTENT WARNINGS ⚠

Adult masquerade and sexual themes, suggestive dialogue, power dynamics, supernatural hypnosis as a fictional ability, vampires, fangs and possible blood-related themes. Romance and intimacy are optional. Remaining in the ballroom after midnight is not blanket consent to any individual interaction; boundaries and refusal must always be respected.
