a mildly comprehensive post about cain complex

(this story contains pretty heavy themes but I will try to keep it vague for the sake of this post. if you'd like content warnings please check the tags! these are serious topics, please treat them as such.)

tldr: cain complex is a story about shrike vicario, someone who is still dealing with the after-effects of a heavily abusive childhood + young adulthood, after his abuser's sudden death by his hands, attempts to reintegrate himself back into society but finds the only way she knows how is via shady illegal means.

character descriptions below cut, if you are curious about the setting itself and the other stories that take place, please check out the carrd.

SHRIKE CAIN VICARIO - genderfluid man-adjacent thing (he/she/they/it) - 36 years old - Luciferian Chimera

Shrike is extremely quiet and reserved, seldom speaking unless it's called for. He comes across as very...Strange. He was raised in rural West Virginia, his father was a game hunter, and his mother too affected by postpartum psychosis to work. He is the younger of two siblings, his oldest sister is Cyta and his older brother's name is unimportant. His birth was completely accidental which led to a feeling of contempt from his parents.

Believe it or not, Shrike as a child was very meek and scrawny, not hitting that 'Luciferian growth spurt' that most children in his species type did. which, among many other things, made him a target for bullying by his peers, which caused him to drop out of school in just 1st grade and become heavily dependent on his siblings. He has never returned to school since.

As he grew into a teenager, his brother took on the 'role' so to speak of his primary abuser. Isolating him from the world at large. Due to this, he became emotionally, mentally, and physically stunted. As he matured, he began to rebel and would sneak out while his brother was at work to meet up with friends in the neighboring cities. Interacting with others like Ikurou made him start to see his brother for what he truly was - his abuser. One day, after a large explosive fight, Shrike killed his brother. Shrike's sister assisted him in covering up the murder as an accident. With that, he fled his old home to start his new life with his wife, Annette, and their son and is trying to pick up where he left off in developing his social skills. He operates a business under the label of a butcher but his real professional entails several dirty, illegal jobs.

ANNETTE MARY-ANN VICARIO - cis woman (she/her) - 38 years old - Human

Annette was born to two hoarders in Kentucky. Living In a trailer on a large patch of land, due to the sheer amount of stuff in her parent's house she really had no room to live comfortably. So she found herself escaping to the houses of her cousins (Plural, she has so many cousins.) She really has no possessions of her own, just her childhood cat and a backpack of things she hauled around with her everywhere, so she developed a habit of stealing from everywhere she went. The cops in that area were very well acquainted with her even as a teen.

As she grew up, she dropped out of high school. Feeling nothing but contempt towards the system she decided she did not care to partake and began stealing things to make ends meet. She would steal car parts, possessions, anything. Then she was drafted into the escorting business where she remained for a good number of years right up until she and Shrike decided to get married. She still has a habit of stealing to this day.

Annette cannot hold a job for the life of her. She bounces between new ones constantly because she impulse quits or gets fired because she's got a good awful work ethic.

IKUROU STEELE - cis man (he/him) - 39 years old - White Oni

A lot of Ikurou's childhood he downright refuses to elaborate on, but many signs indicate it was far from perfect if not downright harrowing. All most people know is that he was born in Indiana. He was a volatile teenager, lashing out at almost everyone around him and getting in deep shit with the law before he was only 16. Around 18, Ikurou dropped out of school entirely and cut contact with his parents. Being a skilled bassist he played a lot of shitty local shows to scrounge up enough cash to get his own dingy apartment but at these local shows, he was scouted by another musician - Ismael. He wanted Ikurou in his new, up-and-coming band. The two proceeded to form a long-standing toxic co-dependent friendship that was sure to lead to mutual destruction. Ismael got Ikurou hooked on several substances, namely cocaine.

After a few long years of harsh stress from Ismael and using Ikurou as a personal attack dog. Pushing him so hard he'd play until his fingers would bleed on stage. It lead to Ikurou finally snapping and freaking out which Ismael kickstarted a domino effect that lead to his freakout being heavily publicized, resulting in an industry-wide blacklist. It left him jobless and to top it all off he was evicted from his apartment and became homeless. In one last act of desperation, he called some of the few people he knew before he made it big and that was Shrike and Annette.

As of now, Ikurou lives in Shrike's basement bedroom as he attends rehab, deadset on bettering himself. His main goal is to finish rehab and get a job so he can finally get a cat.

KASVI AO - trans woman (she/her) - 36 years old - Angel

Unlike the rest of the cast, Kasvi had a very loving upbringing. Born to two loving parents who were immigrants from Las Paradeisos who settled down in Upper middle-class Ohio. Nothing horribly eventful happened to her as far as she can remember - That was until her father was diagnosed with brain cancer, the severity missed several times over by his doctors resulting in a life expectancy of 2 months. As she visited her father in hospice she made a promise to him that she'd carry out her dream to be a teacher just like he was.

As Kasvi started attending college, she grew into a social butterfly of sorts. Big into parties, making lots of friends, and even had a few boyfriends here and there...But when she was just about ready to graduate, she got involved with another man who she split from after just around 2 months due to his massive array of red flags that popped up as their relationship progressed. Little did she know that after their breakup he became deeply infatuated with her to the point of obsession and began to relentlessly stalk her. After his obsession peaked, he attacked her in her home. The attack was so brutal she lost a wing and an arm, the other wing becoming non-functional due to trauma, leaving her unable to fly. She was thankfully found after her attacker fled the scene which resulted in her survival however she was now disfigured and became deathly afraid of the world around her.

With the resounding support she had gotten from others, especially her friends, her coworkers, and her family, she decided after years of staying inside she wanted to finally get out there. Kasvi's attacker was put to death after he murdered & attacked a string of other women, Kasvi herself was present at his execution, and seeing him finally die cemented that she was no longer afraid. She now is back working full time and involves herself heavily with Ikurou. They sleep together often but insist they are 'just friends'.

SIDE CHARACTER TIME (keeping these short)

Cyta Dolores Vicario - cis woman (she/her) - 41 years old - Luciferian Chimera

Shrike's eldest sister. She is wracked with unspeakable amounts of grief. Turning to religion and painkillers to cope with the tragedy that was her family and how she couldn't do anything to stop it despite being just a child herself. Believes her primary worth is taking care of others. Vacillator love style. Many, many ex-lovers.

Ismael Jacob Desdemona - cis man (he/him) - 33 years old - Vampire-Incubus hybrid

A self-absorbed dickhead. Portrays a loveable, quirky e-boy persona to his many fans but in reality, a silver-tongued manipulator with the media and his bandmates wrapped around his finger. His parents are industry veterans meaning he is a nepo baby who was spoiled rotten his entire life. Hooked on lots of party drugs and is a chronic sex addict but believes it'll never catch up to him because 'Rockstars never die!'. God should kill him.

Beryl Eve Locke - cis woman (she/her) - 42 years old - Sparkle Demon

A long-time friend of Cyta. Spiraled into drugs and harmful sex work after Cyta was forced to move for college and just recently managed to crawl her way out. Lives with Cyta as she's terrified of the outside world. Met Ikurou in rehab and is like a 2nd older sister to Shrike.

Maxwell Vicario - dumbass Fortnite baby (he/him) - 10 years old - Cambion

Shrike and Annette's son. Despite who he was raised by he has had a very loving childhood so far. Every person in his life is dedicated to making sure Maxwell has a proper, fun childhood like they never did. He fucking LOVES Pokemon dude.

Everyone is FUCKED UP in some sort of way, yet they all love each other very much. except for Ismael fuck that guy #Ismaelisoverparty. Expect some more of these for my other stories. Much less text-heavy because a good few only have a small main cast. Thank you for reading! I would love to continue doing lore dumps like this. asks are also appreciated if you feel like it 👍
