BLACK VELVET: A RUNNER OWEN NOVEL
In a Victorian inspired world of eternal night, transman Owen Rosedown is a Runner - a detective for hire - in the employ of the Knight Hunters and their leader, the handsome but arrogant Lord Aurum Vim-Calyx. After a secretive mission at a ball goes awry, the infuriated Lord Aurum blames Owen, punishing him with temporary exile within the haunted halls of Black Velvet Castle. But when a powerful storm strikes, the infamous vampire god known only as the Scarred Man takes over the castle, intending to kidnap all the inhabitants, and claim Owen for himself. As the other humans fall into despair, Owen resists their captors, turning to his faith in the Goddess for strength, and the shadowed halls of the castle for salvation. Can Owen free them all, or will he surrender to the dark, unspeakable desires of the Goddess’ husband reborn?

Profile for Breath of Death OC
Made for the @world-of-horrors-au, created by @coffeexafterxmidnight
Possibly find her over at @deepdownclowns , DJing in The Deep!
Name: Adelyn Morganna
Alias: Revel, Breath of Death
Faction: The Deep
Age: 24
Height: 5'9"
Physical description:
She has long, thick, reddish brown hair to the bottom of her back. She keeps it in two long braids. She has bright blue eyes that seem to glow in the club lights. She's naturally tanned, with freckles covering most of her body.
Deep outfit: White mask with neon blue stripes mask that has no eyes or visable mouth, still easily breathable. There's symmetrical glowing lines along her cheekbones, temples and swirls on each cheek. She wears a black tank top and a cropped hoodie with blue highlights. Her pants are black with blue along the seams. White sneakers that someone in the deep custom painted for her.
Killing outfit: Similar mask, with no swirls and black instead of white base color. She wears a ¾ sleeve black shirt with neon blue stitching, black leggings with neon blue music notes going up the right pant leg. Ensures she has several of her sharp Bobby pins in her hair, which are always tied tightly in their deadly braids. Black sneakers that someone in the deep custom painted for her.
Personality:
She's very excitable. She's almost always moving and dancing to a song no one else can hear. She's also blind, so it's likely she can hear things no one else can. She's very upbeat and points out the best out of every situation for everyone around her. Underneath that, she's tense and constantly ready for a fight, though unless you looked closely and knew her well, you wouldn't be able to tell. She's always thinking of the worst case scenario.
Background:
Adelynn had a younger sister by 2 years and a brother on the way. Adelynn was 4 years old, in the midwest, when the first wave hit. Because of this, when the country shut down, she was on her own with her family for a bit, attempting to survive until they could make it to the East Coast. During this time, she learned things about survival and protection. She lost her mother and unborn brother to starvation on the journey.
When they reached the East Coast, Adelyn was 8 and taken to the camps. Her sister was taken to a separate camp, which got raided by horrors, and she didn't survive. Adelyn was at the top of her class in camp until it was shut down. When Adelyn attempted to return to her father, her father was gone.
With nowhere to go, Adelyn wandered. She "couch surfed" but she survived off the forest, the plants and animals as best she could, for food. Eventually the government came for her. They wanted her DNA, which she would've given willingly, but they also asked her to donate her eggs if she wasn't having children. At the prospect of her children in a world of horror, she ran instead of giving them her DNA, and became wanted on suspicion of being a Horror herself.
People she thought she was safe with started attempting to kill her. She felt there was nowhere she could be safe. She couldn't even make her way to the forest to get food because she was known for hunting there and would be an easy target. Eventually Adelyn got cornered by her closest friends, during which they blinded her permanently by stabbing and ripping out her eyes as "revenge against the dirty horrors." She strangled them both based on the sound of their breathing, turning her into a horror.
She ran in randomized directions and away from the sounds of people until she heard music. It led her down a flight of stairs and into the deep, where she met The Hedonist.
Revel is now a DJ for a nightclub in The Deep. She's well known for her long braids whipping back and forth as she bobs to music and her neon striped mask that has no eyes.
Skills: advanced hearing, hand to hand combat, improvised weapons, hunting, foraging, identifying flora and fauna, basic weapons training taught in camps
Weapons: She uses her hands or her braids to strangle her opponents, she also likes to improvise weapons and can usually find at least two, usually more, sharpened "Bobby pins" in her hair.
Other information: Pansexual, Poly
She doesn't show it but she's wary of every new person she meets. Very good at pretending she's overwhelmingly happy.
Motifs: Neon blue lines, headphones that light up, bandage covered eyes, long, tight braids, bruised necks
Allies: The Hedonist, Employees of the deep, some of the regular nightclubbers
Enemies: N/A
