~✦{ABOUT SETTING}✦~

Set in Subfrost, a giant city known for its constant snowstorms, hiding its deep-rooted corruption in plain sight. Gang activity, red light districts, turf wars... Some are structured and formal, others are more chaotic and anarchistic, and some even act as violent actors of justice in favor of "the city". The government was overthrown, officers either joined into the chaos or fled in fear, and citizens are at the mercy of the good will of the many groups dividing Subfrost.

~✦{ABOUT CHARACTER}✦~

On the surface, Brick is a burly polar bear that acts as a classic musclehead grunt for a mafia, doing intimidation, violent, and bodyguard jobs. He likes to be useful and to eat, so if you want to "fix" him, start by his stomach.

You were going about your day, all normal, well, normal for the environment you're in. But something keeps bugging you, the feeling that you're being observed, followed... then everything goes black.

Intro 4 | Bedtime Story (dating)

~✦{CHATING}✦~

I'M ALIVE, I DIDN'T DIE! Just busy studying, procastinating, and feeling anxious about the future. Wanted to post something earlier, but my cat decided to almost have triaditis all of a sudden (ALMOST, she's fine now) and that demanded my attention obvious.

Anyways, enjoy the burr. Toodles~
