Antihero
Year MA76.
The world we know today
-of rifles and gadgets,
fairy beings and dragons-
has gone mad.
There is one main cause.
The human race, the “grafted” beings and all species of the wild world are deeply affected by a terrible crisis:
The Bile.
Bile is the scourge of the world, a poison to which almost all beings succumb and which makes them powerful, fragile and evil.
For some, it is a force that allows them to dominate their peers, for all, it is a drug that consumes them.
Bile settles in the body, mind and/or essence… and in different degrees.
At low levels, the carrier temporarily loses control of himself when the disease manifests, although it is usually imperceptible. This group of subjects is known as the "Free" and they are the majority.
A second group are the “Deep Ones”, with higher levels of Bile and more possibilities of committing uncontrolled atrocities.
However, the most dangerous and evil are, without a doubt, the “Gélidos”, those beings that have crossed the so-called “Border”.
The Frostborn act with a perverse and Machiavellian instinct.
Bile is attractive.
Bile is resentment,
unhealthy ambition
and… bitterness.
Unknown
full
the origin of evil,
where it is born
so dark
and deceptive pleasure.
Yes, the 3 ways of being poisoned by Gall have been discovered:
By transmission, through a poisonous spell from a highly affected wizard. The victim's Essence is injured.
Out of resentment. Negative thoughts and actions end up corrupting. Bile attacks the mind.
For autonomy. Taking Hiel's drug in injectable capsules increases it. The body is seriously affected.
Bile and suffering.
Suffering and death.
Still, there is light behind the darkness.
An antidote.
They are the exception and they are exceptional.
Furthermore, many are “Pure”, without a drop of Bile in their veins.
They are called “Antiheroes” and sometimes also “Walkers.”
They are soldiers, consuls and magicians who travel the world to discover the origin of the poison and eradicate it; explore territories and cultures; obtain “copper” with which to acquire more equipment, gadgets and transport; learn new spells; gain experience and skills…
…or simply survive.
The and the
soldiers
are body.
Magicians
and magicians…
Essence.
The men and women
consuls,
voice.
Likewise, the walkers liberate the population in three ways.
-3 steps in evolution-.
- Stunning the bearer in a physical attack without destroying him or in an intimidating manner until he surrenders, in order to administer the vaccine. The vaccine is injectable oral capsules that nullify the effects of the Bile, created from samples of bone marrow from the "Pure" beings.
- Influencing. Convincing the carrier to allow himself to be vaccinated. The liberator persuades the deranged person through the “Voice” with a welcoming, sincere and trained will.
- Spellcasting. In total essential agreement, undoing the effect of the Bile with magic.
If the bearer dies during the exorcism, the executor experiences a strong feeling of guilt, aggravating his own gall...
If, on the other hand, you manage to save him/her…
both are released.
Under the mist…
Wolves guard the flock.
A black cat purrs.
And you, Antihero?
Soldier, Consul or Mag@…
Who are you going to save today?
