Look Vice

You grew up in a big city on the Eastern Seaboard of the United States, the scion of a prominent family, but you detested that life–the formality, the
pretension, the venomous hypocrisy–and so you went West. You had adventures, got good with a gun, even joined a traveling show for a time… but
then came the curse, and everything changed. You did your best to control it, and some nights were definitely worse than others, but eventually it got
to be too much. Even your days were affected by the changes within you; your behavior became reckless and unpredictable. And then you had to run,
far away. In the end, it was London calling: a thick, throbbing mass of humanity within which to lose yourself—the whole world and all its lovely
pleasures right within your grasp. But the curse has found you, like it always does. Hopefully these new folks, these hunters you’ve thrown in with, can
help you–help you for good, permanent-like—when the time comes.

You were born into a world of fantastic wealth and privilege. You could have spent your days cosseted by luxury, with nothing more pressing than
deciding what to wear to that evening’s dinner party. But you chose a different life; you chose to serve your queen. You leveraged your wealth and
connections to explore the world, to chart unknown territory. And now you have a mountain range named after you—a fitting honor, considering you
tower over other Britons. Your strength, your intellect, your cunning—none can match it. None except… the Mastermind. The Mastermind, who
plots ceaselessly against Her Majesty, whose mind and resources dwarf your own. You have conquered every trial the gods have placed before you, but
the Mastermind is something altogether different. And your new work, your work with Hargrave House, is connected to them in some way. You spend
your days and nights exploring the true heart of darkness—the monsters that stalk the streets of London—but none are so monstrous as your
opponent, the one who sits on the other side of the chessboard. Will Great Britain still be standing when the grand game is over?

You were not. And then, quite suddenly, you were. The only thing you remember of your creator is their face, twisted in anguish and disappointment.
They abandoned their work with Hargrave House, and left you here, orphaned… but not alone. The others—the hunters—they found you. They
helped you remember how to speak, and were kind to you in their way. They let you stay in the laboratory, and made it comfortable for you; they gave
you things from the outside world to help you better understand it. Like them, you are a creature of the shadows, and you always will be. But unlike
them, you understand there can be no shadows without light.

You have always been the most beautiful person in the room. Your looks have opened doors for you for as long as you can remember—all the money
and material things anyone could want, laid at your feet. Artists have found inspiration in the brightness of your eyes, the delicate curve of your
cheekbones, the plump softness of your lips. One such artistic work, a masterwork, rises above them all, for it captures the essence of you–it is, quite
simply, more you than you. Lately, people sacrifice everything to be near you, to please you, and, if they’re lucky, to touch you. But what to do when
you get bored with being one of the gods?

For as long as you can remember, dark entities have been near. They lurk just inside your peripheral vision, just at the mirror’s edge. When you close
your eyes, you can actually feel them: their cold breath, their oily touch… an occasional feverish embrace. They want to be inside you; they want to rub
against your guts and deposit their power. Others are drawn to you as well: those who would use you to master these dark things in order to serve their
own agenda. Some of these interlopers, these usurpers, can be of use, such as the hunters with whom you share a home. Others, like the coven, are best
avoided. In either case, you are no one’s object, tool, or weapon; you are no mere bystander. Your fate is yours to shape.
